Xia Yu said the following to Yi Shuihan.

"So they've pledged allegiance to the Holy Empire. That makes a lot of things clear now."

Next, Yi Shuihan interrogated Xia Yu. Of course, calling it interrogation is not quite accurate, as Xia Yu seemed to have no sense of secrecy. In order to save his life, he answered almost every question, so Yi Shuihan did not have to use the methods he had prepared.

"So, Your Majesty, you should understand the current situation now!"

After hearing Xia Yu's revelation, Yi Shuihan turned around and smiled at King Mala IX, whose face had turned pale.

According to Xia Yu, two of the five guardian masters who were in a standoff had already betrayed the country, including himself. The others were all besieged and would likely die soon. Xia Yu was part of the advance team, there to gather information and cause some trouble. He was also the one who sent Tian Jian and the others to request reinforcements. He originally planned to lure Yi Shuihan and Wei Lit to a place and contact the Holy Empire to launch an attack.

It was precisely because he had been waiting outside and had not seen Yi Shuihan that he discovered that Yi Shuihan had not left. In the end, he had a sudden inspiration and tricked Mara IX into dealing with Yi Shuihan, causing internal strife. If he could achieve a draw, that would be even better. Unfortunately, his plan completely failed. The strength of Yi Shuihan and Willit was far beyond his expectations.

In fact, Xia Yu was also very puzzled at this moment. In his memory, the strength of Willit and Yi Shuihan was not much different from his own, so why was reality completely different from his memory? He really doubted whether the people in front of him were the two people in his memory.

"Masters, I misunderstood you. I apologize. Please forgive me, as we are both from the Mara Empire!"

Mara IX bowed deeply to Yi Shuihan and Willit.

Chapter 1147, The Enemy at the Gates

Does Mara IX hate Yi Shuihan and Welter? Of course he does, after all, Dark WarGreymon just swiftly killed the elites he brought.

If possible, King Mahal IX would probably want to kill Yi Shuihan and Weilite immediately. As an emperor, Yi Shuihan and Weilite's previous behavior had not made him feel respected at all; he felt only shame and fear.

Emperors are born with a love for control and believe themselves to be supreme beings. Even in the past, although Mahal IX was very humble in the face of the Guardians of the Nation, he was also proud in his heart. He did not think that his status was lower than that of the Guardians of the Nation. In fact, he believed from the bottom of his heart that the Guardians of the Nation were his subordinates and tools, only that these tools were very precious.

So why is King Mala IX asking for forgiveness now? The answer is naturally that he has no choice but to do so. Xia Yu has already made it very clear that the other guardian masters are all restrained, and the Holy Empire has completely gained the upper hand. If even Yi Shuihan and Weilite do not stand on the side of the Mala Empire, the Mala Empire will not be far from being destroyed by the Holy Empire.

An emperor, an emperor without a country is no longer a true emperor. Mara IX would lose everything, including his life. It could be said that everyone else in this country could live, but he had to die, because he was the master of this country, and the Holy Empire did not need him to continue to exist.

Being able to see the situation clearly in such a short time and make the best choice shows that Mahatma IX was a qualified emperor.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, we certainly won't blame His Majesty. His Majesty has also been deceived."

Yi Shuihan said calmly. He saw through Mara IX's little scheme, but he didn't care. The main god's mission was the key.

"The Holy Empire's invasion, and that guy in the well, are getting more and more interesting."

With a glint in his eyes, Yi Shuihan did not back down because the mission had become more complicated; on the contrary, he became somewhat excited.

Willett glanced at Yi Shuihan, as if asking a question, and Yi Shuihan nodded slightly.

Just as a relieved smile appeared on Mara IX's face, he was suddenly struck in a certain spot from behind by Willit. As a strange aura surged from Willit, Mara IX's eyes became dazed.

"Master, what are your orders?"

Minutes later, Mara IX had completely changed. His eyes were filled with fanaticism as he looked at Willit, and he no longer had any thoughts of his own.

This scene was also slightly shocking to Yi Shuihan, but he understood Willett's method. It was a high-level hypnosis technique that could only be used on those who were weak-willed and lacked strength. If it were him, naturally nothing would happen.

This time, Willett's control method was very sophisticated. Mara IX's intelligence and other aspects remained unchanged. The only change was that he was completely obedient to Willett. Even if asked to commit suicide, he would immediately slit his own throat.

Mara IX was sent to arrange the Holy Empire's invasion, while Yi Shuihan and Willit continued to guard the Hall of Beauties.

In fact, it would have been a better choice for Yi Shuihan and Weilite to cooperate with Xia Yu to launch a counter-ambush against the Holy Empire at this time. This would have greatly curbed the Holy Empire's invasion. However, they did not have that idea. As long as they protected the capital, what did it matter to them whether the Mara Empire was destroyed or not after 30 days?

In the following days, tensions rose within the Mara Empire, with legions frequently moving around the empire, clearly preparing for war.

News of the murder of several guardian masters of the Mala Empire spread at some unknown time, causing widespread panic among the people of the Mala Empire, a situation that even King Mala IX could not suppress.

Time has come to the third day before the mission's completion, with less than 60 hours remaining.

"The Three Musketeers still haven't returned. What are they up to? There hasn't been a single word from them."

This wasn't the first time Willett had said this to Yi Shuihan. The closer they got to the end of the mission, the more he felt an invisible pressure. He didn't know where this pressure came from, but it gradually made him restless and agitated.

As a temporary team, if the Three Musketeers were to die, the main god would give a notification. Since there is no notification now, it means that the Three Musketeers are alright.

It's suspicious that they haven't contacted Yi Shuihan and the others even though nothing's wrong. Through Xia Yu, Yi Shuihan and the others have roughly figured out the strength of the so-called Guardian Master. Even if there are more than ten of them together, they shouldn't be able to trap Tian Jian and the others, let alone kill them.

Even if the Three Musketeers are looking for evil, at this point, they should at least contact each other and explain the situation.

"How's it going on with the Holy Empire?"

"They should be at the city gates by tomorrow. Damn it, the people of the Mala Empire are all useless. How could they let them get here so quickly?"

"The situation is indeed quite serious."

Tomorrow, that thing at the bottom of the well will come out! This time, sealing it away won't be so easy.

Yi Shuihan knew about its own seal. In fact, several days ago, it had discovered that the thing in the well had become powerful enough to forcibly break the seal. However, it did not break out of the seal immediately, but continued to accumulate strength. In the past few days, it had become much stronger.

Of course, if that were all, everything would still be under Yi Shuihan's control. With his strength, completing the mission would be no problem at all.

"You go help defend the city tomorrow, I'll stay here and keep watch."

"It can only be the."

With the course of action determined, all that remains is to wait.

The next day, outside the capital, a massive army of millions besieged the city. The sounds of battle could be heard throughout the capital, and the shadow of war loomed over this ancient city.

A battle of attack and defense had already begun before dawn, before the sun had fully risen. At this time, even the imperial palace was deserted, with few people left. The Qunfang Palace was even more so.

Yi Shuihan stood quietly in front of the well, waiting for his opponent. He didn't care too much about the war outside. He believed that with Wei Li Te's methods, he could at least hold out for a few days, and maybe even launch a counterattack.

Chapter 1148, Attack by Teammates

A ray of sunlight slowly climbed from the edge of the well toward the center. The moment it finally reached the center of the stone on the well, the well began to shake violently.

The sealing incantation shattered almost immediately upon appearing, having no effect whatsoever.

"Boom"

The stone used for sealing was shattered into countless fragments in the explosion, flying everywhere. Many of them were heading towards Yi Shuihan, but they quickly melted, burned, and disappeared when they got within a meter of Yi Shuihan.

A black aura surged into the sky, forming a massive black pillar of light that dyed the sky pitch black, just like night.

The female corpse appeared above the well without warning, her dark, scarlet eyes staring at Yi Shuihan. Her aura was more than ten times stronger than before she was sealed.

"If it weren't for us reincarnators, you might actually have destroyed the entire empire, and even controlled this world."

Even though Yi Shuihan was prepared, he was still very surprised by this growth rate. At this moment, the female corpse gave Yi Shuihan the feeling that she was comparable to a Silver 4-star.

In just over half a month, it has grown by two stars. Given more time, it may even reach the silver limit.

Given the nature of this female corpse's infection, the whole world will become a paradise for wild beasts, not much better than Resident Evil.

"You dared to seal us away? Today is your death day."

Countless sounds emanated from the woman's body, causing the air to vibrate and shattering the surrounding trees, leaving them in a state of utter devastation.

"I want to return those words to you, so I can show you what a true sword immortal is like."

Yi Shuihan tossed the sword in his hand into the air, forming a sword incantation. The sword instantly split in mid-air, one becoming two, two becoming four, four becoming eight...

The dense array of swords covered the entire area of ​​the palace.

"My God, what is that! So many swords in the sky, what's going on?"

"How terrifying! Has a demon descended upon the world? First it was in the sky, and now it's..."

"Run! Staying here means certain death. The empire is doomed, and no one can save it."

The people in the palace were terrified by the strange phenomena created by Yi Shuihan and the female corpse. After a brief silence, they cried out and fled outside.

"With just a wave of my hand, it will all be over."

That's what he said, but Yi Shuihan felt something was wrong, though he couldn't quite put his finger on it, so he remained secretly on guard.

The female corpse rushed towards Yi Shuihan at an extremely fast speed. The swords in the sky, under Yi Shuihan's command, kept shooting at the female corpse. The swords collided with the female corpse's body, but did not directly penetrate it, although they did leave small or medium-sized dents on the female corpse's body.

Thus, the female corpse would likely be killed by countless swords before she could even get close to Yi Shuihan.

However, at that moment, a burst of intense golden light erupted behind Yi Shuihan, and a huge figure instantly appeared, launching an attack on Yi Shuihan.

"Magic Cannon!"

"Immobilization and restraint".

"Heavenly Sword, Annihilate the Heavens."

"Earth Sword, cleave the earth."

"Man and sword, annihilation of man."

The simultaneous appearance of Willett and the Three Musketeers, who all launched attacks on Yi Shuihan as if by prior arrangement, all seemed so fantastical.

Shouldn't they be teammates with Yi Shuihan? Why attack Yi Shuihan instead of the female corpse?

In addition to releasing BlackWarGreymon, Wirit also released his other pet, which he used to immobilize Yi Shuihan. This immobilization effect would prevent Yi Shuihan, even though he was a Silver 4-star, from moving for one second, and that one second was enough for them to attack.

Faced with this situation, Yi Shuihan's eyes still showed no despair, only a hint of surprise and realization.

A desperate situation? For others, it might be, even a Silver 5-star would only be waiting to die in this situation, but Yi Shuihan is different. His true combat power has not been unleashed at all. His conventional combat power has been fully activated, and his unconventional combat power has not been revealed in the slightest from beginning to end.

Boom!

boom!

Yi Shuihan was completely struck by the light and sword light, and could see no hope of survival.

"Dead? For making us go through so much trouble, it's a fitting end. Our missions were different from the start!"

Willett's eyes were cold, like ice that had stood for millennia. Beside him, the three swordsmen exuded a chilling sword intent, silently staring in the direction where Yi Shuihan was.

"kindness?"

Suddenly, Powert sensed an alarm and saw his little monster, BlackWarGreymon, fly backward and crash towards them.

In the air, parts of BlackWarGreymon's figure suddenly turned into garbled text, and its body also appeared somewhat unstable.

"How is that possible? You're actually alright."

Having dodged BlackWarGreymon, Willett even forgot to tend to his pet's injuries, staring in shock at the figure emerging from the smoke.

"Nothing wrong? Something's wrong! Look, you guys tore a corner off my clothes."

Yi Shuihan smiled and pointed to his sleeve with one finger, where there was a noticeable gap, about 3 square centimeters in size.

"I now know the whole story. I was careless; I didn't expect our missions to be different. But can you tell me why you knew about my mission in the first place?"

This is what puzzled Yi Shuihan. He remembered that when the mission was issued, Willett and the others said it was a defense mission, which matched Yi Shuihan's mission, so Yi Shuihan assumed that everyone had the same mission. However, what they said clearly indicated that they knew about Yi Shuihan's mission, which was contradictory.

Faced with Yi Shuihan's question, the four members of the Weilit group remained silent.

"Fine, since you don't want to talk about it, I don't want to pursue it either. Get ready to fight me! I won't hold back."

"Wait! I'll answer your question from before."

"Williams suddenly said."

"Oh?"

Yi Shuihan raised an eyebrow, stopped in his tracks, looked at Willit, and waited for an answer.

"Actually, someone asked us to get rid of you. We used a tool to come to this world with you. That tool makes our mission absolutely opposed to yours. Our mission is to destroy the country, and your mission is naturally to save the country. It's easy to guess."

"We originally planned to take you out at the very beginning, but we didn't expect you to be the first to regain consciousness, and your strength exceeded our expectations, so we can only wait quietly for the right opportunity."

At first, Willett was a little nervous when he spoke, but he gradually relaxed later on.

Chapter 1149, Turning the Tide

Why would they relax? They were facing Yi Shuihan, a monster they had previously faced. Their previous sneak attack had been completely ineffective, demonstrating the significant difference in their strength levels.

Is it because you have some trump card up your sleeve?

the answer is

“I know you’re stalling for time. Willit, you’re not going to deal with the people of the Holy Empire. The Mara Empire is about to perish.”

Yi Shuihan's words made Willett's face stiffen.

"Then why...?"

"Because I have plenty of time! I can resolve things with you quickly."

Yi Shuihan's words came from behind Willett. Neither Willett nor the Three Musketeers could tell when Yi Shuihan had moved.

Yi Shuihan used the power of time, which was a complete cheat code for Willett and his group.

"Show us all your cards, or we'll all die."

With a loud shout, the four of them charged toward Yi Shuihan in perfect unison, clearly ready to fight to the death.

The goal was to make them stop sprinting almost simultaneously halfway through and then split into four groups to escape.
