Despite the resistance of the common people and the protection of some of the Moon Worship Cultists how could these people stand up to the elite soldiers of Nanzhao?
Therefore even before the battle had properly begun the Moon Worship Cultists were completely defeated.
Even the common people who came to protect the Moon Worship Cult Leader were subdued by the soldiers.
Liu Jinyuan and Lin Yueru naturally came to Alex's side. They carefully examined Alex and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that he appeared unharmed.
Then still somewhat concerned Lin Yueru asked "Alex how are you? Did that big devil do anything to you?"
"No he treated me quite courteously" Alex shook his head.
This was the truth. Aside from refusing to let him leave the Moon Worship Cult Leader had indeed treated him with great courtesy.
Perhaps due to the original story Alex had always harbored a fear of the Moon Worship Cult Leader.
Coupled with his relationships with Li Xiaoyao and Liu Jinyuan Alex had unconsciously developed hostility toward the Moon Worshiper.
However after spending more time with him recently and observing what he had seen and heard Alex realized that he had harbored a strong prejudice against him from the very beginning.
It turned out that despite being the ultimate boss of The Legend of Sword and Fairy universe the Moon Worshiper was actually quite pitiful.
Just like now his motive was simple. To prove that water's buoyancy could even float a steel ship. However Elder Shi and the others viewed his actions as misleading. They even used them as a pretext to attack him.
From the perspectives of Elder Shi, the Emperor and even Liu Jinyuan they were right. Even from the perspectives of the world they were right.
However from a neutral perspective Alex knew clearly that the Moon Worshiper was not wrong.
"Hmph this fellow spread lies to deceive the people and repaid kindness with ingratitude. Now he is being condemned by so many people. He deserves it..." Seeing Alex was fine Lin Yueru looked at the besieged Moon Worshiping Cult leader with a gloating look on her face.
"Well he is certainly wrong to use magic to deceive the world..." Even Liu Jinyuan who stood beside her nodded in agreement.
"Actually the fact that this steel ship floats on the water is not due to magic but simply the way nature works" Alex said after a slight hesitation while listening to the conversation between Lin Yueru and Liu Jinyuan.
"Mister Alex why are you speaking up for this guy?" Alex's words made Lin Yueru look at him in surprise.
Could it be that after so many days in the Moon Worshiping Cult, Alex had also been brainwashed by this guy?
"Master it has been common knowledge for thousands of years that steel sinks to the bottom of water. How can you make it float just by casting it into a ship?" Even Liu Jinyuan looked at Alex with suspicion.
Alex: "..."
Well looking at their expressions Alex knew he could not explain it.
However the Moon Worshiper who was standing nearby glanced over from a distance. Seeing Alex's expression he could empathize completely.
"Evil creature why do you not surrender?" Elder Shi and the Emperor with hundreds of elite soldiers surrounded the Moon Worshiper. Elder Shi said bitterly.
"I have been trying to reason with you but you prefer to use force. In that case I will help you solve it with force..." The Moon Worshiper glanced at Elder Shi and the Emperor before shaking his head calmly.
As he spoke he raised his hands. At the same time his powerful cultivation emerged.
Powerful and incomparably powerful!
With his movements his cultivation transformed into a powerful hurricane. It instantly blew away all the elite soldiers around him. These ordinary soldiers could not even get close to the Moon Worshiper.
"Evil creature!" Seeing the Moon Worshiper truly taking action and unleashing such formidable power Elder Shi let out a low cry. He condensed his cultivation and pointed a finger in his direction.
Tang Yu, Anu and Liu Jinyuan naturally would not stand idly by. They attacked the Moon Worshiper together.
However despite facing such a large coordinated siege the Moon Worshiper's power was terrifyingly formidable. A single person could suppress them all.
To put it simply if the Moon Worshiper was a ferocious tiger then Elder Shi and his companions would be nothing more than a flock of sheep. The power gap was simply on a completely different level.
Under the Moon Worshiper's immense power Elder Shi and his companions quickly collapsed to the ground wounded. With his incredibly powerful aura and approximately 1,700 crystal points the Moon Worshiper's power was truly incredible.
Whoosh!
However as Alex was considering whether to take action while watching these people being injured one after another suddenly a sword light shot up from the sky. It slashed straight toward the Moon Worshiper.
The immense sword light looked like a giant lightsaber over ten feet long.
Looking at the oncoming giant lightsaber the Moon Worshiper's expression changed for the first time. He did not dare to take it head-on and dodged it with a swift movement of his body.
Then with a tremendous bang the sword light fell to the ground. It caused the entire earth to tremble violently.
At the same time a large crater with a diameter of tens of meters was left on the ground. The power of the impact made people feel like a meteorite had fallen.
As the sword light faded the Drunken Swordsman appeared in front of everyone. His eyes were fixed on the Moon Worshiper and he said "After so many years it is time to resolve the grudge between you and me."
"Mo Yixi you seem to have changed."
Looking at the huge hole left on the ground the Moon Worshiper's eyes narrowed slightly. Then his gaze fell on the Drunken Sword Immortal and he spoke.
"I came here today to destroy you!"
Without any unnecessary words the Drunken Sword Immortal formed a sword gesture with his fingers. Then dense sword energy rolled toward the Moon Worshiper like a rainstorm. The power was shocking.
"Huh? The crystal points of the Drunken Sword Immortal have actually increased to more than 2000? What happened during this period of time?"
Seeing that the Drunken Sword Immortal could actually suppress the Moon Worshiper Alex was secretly surprised. At the same time he used his crystal measuring device. The conclusion he got made Alex feel even more shocked.
"Master we are here to help you!" Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er and others nearby followed suit. They were striving to fight quickly and eliminate the Moon Worshiper in the shortest time possible.
