Chapter 4784 — Something Unusual

This one was decisive enough! Wei Zhao cast Okuda Qi a startled glance, then turned his eyes to the sea ahead. By now the various attack formations were already gathering their power, and the entire warship was like a peerless ancient beast of prey, radiating a terrifying pressure that could rend heaven and earth.
As if frightened by the menace of the attack formations, some of the Yuan Ying-stage sea beasts at the very front suddenly halted their assault. They seemed to have already conceived thoughts of retreat, and as though waking from a dream they scrambled backward with all their might—for fear of death was no less in sea beasts than in humans.
But before the crowd could raise a cheer of relief, a scene of utter savagery unfolded before their eyes. These frightened, retreating Yuan Ying-stage sea beasts were instantly torn to bloody shreds by the horde behind them, not one spared. A stench of blood rose to the heavens across the whole sea, dyeing even the night itself red.
The crowd was struck dumb for a long while. Because of that inexplicably savage reek of blood, the horde grew ever more frenzied, ever more hysterical. Far from showing the slightest inclination to retreat, they redoubled their ferocity—even the several Kai Shan-stage sea beasts mingling within the horde joined the assault!
What had just occurred was only the second wave, and Okuda Qi's well-drilled team could at least have handled it with composure. But now, in an instant, it had turned into a desperate, life-or-death struggle, and the whole situation slipped at once beyond control.
"Attack! Lock onto the Xuan Sheng-stage sea beasts—all squads, fire at will!" Okuda Qi ordered at once. The Yuan Ying-stage sea beasts could do no harm to the defensive formations; the enemy's main force was the Xuan Sheng-stage beasts, and if those could be wiped out, their own chances of victory would rise sharply!
"Received!" Hearing the unified replies from the transmission formation, Wei Zhao saw a blaze of splendor before his eyes—dozens of beams of every color, visible to the naked eye, vanishing instantly into the horde. They seemed silent and traceless, but the next moment Wei Zhao's eyes flew wide, unable to conceal his shock.
Wherever the beams passed, every sea beast was in an instant reduced to a mist of blood. Xuan Sheng-stage beasts of such renown had not the slightest power to resist—they could not even dodge in time. As for the Yuan Ying-stage beasts caught in the surrounding blast, they did not even count as cannon fodder; whatever the light touched died, whatever it brushed perished.
Gazing at the sea of blood before him, like a hell on earth, at the vast horde shrieking miserably within it, Wei Zhao could not help drawing a sharp breath, his heart filled with unparalleled shock. This was the invincible warship that galloped unchecked across the boundless sea!
With a single volley, half the Xuan Sheng-stage sea beasts—the very backbone of the horde—were wiped out. Now that this invincible warship had bared its savage claws and fangs, even the boundless sea was no longer so fearsome. Just as now, while the people here rejoiced, it had become a mad carnival.
"Well done! One more volley, and your captain will personally throw you a celebration!" Okuda Qi roared in excitement. One more volley would wipe out those Xuan Sheng-stage sea beasts entirely, leaving only the handful of Kai Shan-stage beasts and a pack of harmless Yuan Ying-stage fodder on the other side—victory was assured.
