Chương 1927: Battle of the North Sea (73)

"Can you really stop it?"

A contemptuous smile crept across Caesar's lips as he asked again, his tone mocking.

"There lies the Rockefeller Kingdom's army of 100, 000 men, whose experts are as numerous as the stars in the sky. How could you possibly withstand them?"

As Caesar spoke, he pointed his finger directly at the enormous warship in the distance, his eyes filled with doubt and disdain for Yixiao.

Faced with Caesar's questioning, Yixiao simply shook his head and said, "I was indeed unable to stop them, but even so, I still came here without hesitation!"

Why is that?

Caesar seemed quite surprised by Yixiao's answer and couldn't help but ask again.

"Just to stop an endless war!"

Although Yi Xiao's voice was not loud, it was unusually firm.

After saying that, he raised the wooden staff in his hand high, and a section of the blade with a cold, gleaming light was revealed at the top of the staff.

The next second, time seemed to freeze. Caesar suddenly felt an indescribable, immense power surging in from all directions like a tidal wave. This power was like a heavy mountain pressing down on him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.

"Good, good, good. You're very brave to do something you know is impossible. I hope your abilities match your courage!"

Caesar was furious, but his voice trembled under the immense pressure.

He gripped the Green Dragon Crescent Blade tightly in his hand, and with all his might, he slammed it down. In an instant, lightning flashed everywhere, and electric current coiled around his body like nimble snakes.

As lightning flashed, the pressure exerted on Caesar exploded like a lit powder keg, vanishing into thin air.

Caesar's body was finally freed. He took a deep breath, a resolute glint in his eyes.

"Thunder Half Moon Slash!"

Caesar roared, raised his arm high, and drew a semi-circular arc in the air with his guandao, slashing fiercely at the enemy with the force of thunder.

At the same time, Yi Xiao was equally unyielding. The knife in his hand seemed to come alive, gleaming with a purplish-black light. He then let out a furious roar.

"Gravity Knife·Tiger!"

Gravity, like a surging torrent, converged on the blade before being violently swung out.

In an instant, a purplish-black blade of light, like a giant beast tearing through the void, roared and pounced towards Caesar.

Wherever this blade of light passed, space seemed to be distorted, and the wind pressure it carried was like a raging storm, rushing towards Caesar with endless pressure.

The two blades of energy collided violently in mid-air, producing a deafening roar.

The Thunder Blade Qi, brimming with destructive power, and the Gravity Blade Qi, brimming with heavy and powerful energy, were like two ferocious beasts, engaging in a breathtaking battle in mid-air.

In this breathtaking moment, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart, teetering on the brink of collapse.

The violent wind pressure roared and howled like a raging torrent, as if it would devour everything.

Caesar and Yixiao's robes rustled and fluttered like leaves in a storm before this powerful force.

Both men gripped their long swords tightly, remaining motionless in their slashing stances.

Their gazes met in mid-air, where their sword energies clashed fiercely.

The blades clashed, producing a deafening roar that shook the entire space.

The next second, the two powerful sword energies suddenly vanished without a trace, as if swallowed by an invisible force.

Yi Xiao suddenly took a step back, his steps faltering as if he were struggling to regain his balance.

In contrast, Caesar appeared much more composed. A faint smile played on his lips, as if he had anticipated this outcome.

He slowly sheathed his sword and stood up, the blade gleaming with a cold light, as cold and sharp as his eyes.

Are you still going to stop me?

Caesar's voice was calm and indifferent, yet carried an undeniable authority.

His gaze fell on Yixiao, as if he were scrutinizing an insignificant opponent.

Upon hearing this, Yi Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

A look of dejection and helplessness appeared on his face as he slowly sheathed his sword and stood still.

He knew he had done his best, but ultimately he could not stop Caesar's advance.

"I have done my best. I hope the Rockefeller Kingdom will treat the millions of people of the North Sea well!"

Yi Xiao's voice was low and hoarse, revealing a deep sense of powerlessness.

His words were filled with concern and worry for the people of Beihai. This was his last request and the deepest concern in his heart.

With that slash, Yixiao had done everything he could.

Although his heart was filled with regret and resentment, he also understood that some things could not be changed.

In this cruel world, power often determines everything.

Yi Xiao's decisiveness caught Caesar completely off guard. The blade he had slightly raised in his hand suddenly stopped, as if time had frozen at that moment.

"Don't fight?"

Caesar tilted his head, a hint of doubt on his face, seemingly surprised by Yixiao's decision.

"Can you beat me?"

Yi Xiao retorted without backing down, his voice calm and firm, without the slightest hesitation.

These words were like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Caesar's heart.

Caesar was stunned.

However, just a few seconds later, Caesar suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

"Ahahahaha!"

His laughter was unusually unrestrained, echoing throughout the space and drawing everyone's attention.

"So what brings you here today? Can't you just say hello?"

Caesar stopped laughing, but continued to press for an answer, his eyes filled with mockery and sarcasm.

Yi Xiao slowly shook his head, his expression serious and earnest.

"I won't feel at ease if I don't come, and I won't feel at peace unless I ask in person!"

His words revealed a sense of helplessness and anxiety.

"what about now?"

Caesar didn't let the laughter go and continued to press for answers.

Yi Xiao shook his head again, his brows furrowing slightly.

"I'm still uneasy!"

His answer was simple and direct, without the slightest attempt to conceal anything.

"Oh? So what are you planning to do?"

Caesar seemed unconcerned by Yixiao's answer, asking casually as if it were none of his business.

"Your Rockefeller Kingdom is very powerful; I alone cannot stop you!"

Yi Xiao sighed deeply, his voice revealing a sense of helplessness.

Caesar smiled and nodded, then said, "So, have you considered joining our Rockefeller Kingdom? With your strength, your status is definitely second only to mine. As long as you're willing to join, whatever you want, I will do my best to fulfill your requests!"
