I Have A Martial Dao World-Chapter 569 - : 569. Battle of Tsushima Island

Chapter 569: 569. Battle of Tsushima Island

[Today, the state of Izumo defies public law with impunity, relentlessly stretching its talons and repeatedly deploying troops to harm the people of Goryeo and our citizens of the Great Yi Dynasty.

This nation’s nature is cruel and brutal, growing increasingly ferocious. At such a time, tolerance is no longer feasible.

To quell their insolent behavior and insatiable ambition for aggression, we hereby officially declare war on Izumo and announce this edict to all.]

…

The Great Yi Dynasty’s declaration of war against Izumo was spread across the world on the same day.

...

Three legions, totaling 150,000 troops, embarked on ships, setting sail towards Izumo.

Meanwhile, the Zhenhai Fleet had already arrived at the Tsushima Strait, patrolling in search of the Izumo Navy’s main force for a decisive battle.

However, everyone on board the fleet unanimously believed that the enemy wouldn’t dare to come out.

That’s because the fleet had two “super battleships”! Besides the “Jie Shuangyu,” the “Yamato” had been repaired and joined the fight.

After a trial voyage, Li Pei renamed the “Yamato” to the “Sakura Fall.”

These two behemoths were an overwhelming presence at the time.

Without outside support and unable to gain any advantages from the Divine Land, Izumo was far weaker than in the previous world, utterly incapable of resistance.

The “Jie Shuangyu” radar scanned at full power but failed to detect the enemy, seemingly confirming their conjecture.

Next was to take control of Tsushima Strait to assist the army in landing.

At that moment, Deputy Captain Deng Boxiang sighed, with a sense of resignation—heaven’s plans are indeed superior to man’s.

He thought he would become the new captain of “Sakura Fall,” but unexpectedly, Admiral Ding Xianda went to the battlefield in person to command the “Sakura Fall.”

Such a war of annihilation didn’t just promise immense merit but also a place in history; no one wanted to miss out.

And so, Deng Boxiang remained deputy captain…

As he looked out at the vast sea and felt various emotions, suddenly a military order came through:

[Change course, head to Tsushima Island to ensure no abnormalities around the island]

Tsushima Island being the gateway between Goryeo and Izumo, the Zhenhai Fleet’s move towards that location was surely deliberate.

Soon, a piece of news spread throughout the army—Xu Fu issued a duel challenge to Lu Yao on Tsushima Island!

~~~~~~~~~~~

Izumo Imperial Palace.

Xu Fu flipped through the declaration of war, while reports of bad news continuously arrived from his cabinet members.

“Your Majesty, the Yi Dynasty has mobilized a colossal force of 200,000, plus tens of thousands of Martial Artists, soon to land on our homeland!”

“The Yi Dynasty’s strongest, Lu Yao, is suspected of breaking through to the Martial Golden Body. Our spy network has been destroyed entirely, unable to ascertain definite news.”

“The Western powers look on eagerly from the side, refusing support, harboring intentions of profiting from our mutual destruction.”

At this moment, a full-scale war was imminent. The cabinet members all looked to their Emperor for his directive.

Xu Fu, ever calm, stated composedly, “Issue a duel challenge. I want to face Lu Yao on Tsushima Island in a battle to the death.”

Leaders challenging each other to single combat was a common occurrence in Otherworld; the cabinet members weren’t much surprised and even found this direct approach to be not bad.

Should Lu Yao die, the Yi Dynasty’s army would surely fall apart without fighting, and then they could even counter-attack the Divine Land!

They were uplifted and quickly withdrew to prepare for the second duel challenge.

But Xu Fu knew that if Lu Yao dared to come, he must have something to rely on, so he needed to be fully prepared.

Fortunately… that plan could now be put into action!

Xu Fu ordered a servant: “Bring Princess Aiko here.”

The servant bowed and departed. Before long, he returned with a little girl about eight or nine years old, delicate as a carved doll.

This was Princess Aiko herself, dressed in a pink kimono, who threw herself into Xu Fu’s arms and cuddled endlessly.

Xu Fu gently stroked Princess Aiko’s head, his “daughter” with extraordinary talent.

Kids are easy to coax, as long as they are carefully looked after from a young age and given time and energy, they will become especially attached to someone.

Xu Fu’s lips curled into an inexplicable smile, finding human kinship laughable, yet a convenient tool for “possession.”

~~~~~~~~~~

Lu Yao had received Xu Fu’s challenge and gladly went to meet it. After all, he too was a person who liked to get straight to the point.

Moreover, there were far too many things for which he wanted to find answers in Xu Fu.

At this moment, on Tsushima Island, located between Goryeo and the Tsushima Strait, the main characters had yet to appear, but both sides had already hurried over to scout the location in advance.

This battle was crucial, as it could determine the direction of future wars.

All but 4 of the Martial Artists who had previously visited Lu Yao at Jing Yi Garden had arrived, and those 4 Great Grandmasters were the first to reach, striding over the waves.

Izumo did not show any weakness, as 5 Great Grandmasters had come on their side.

The Yi Dynasty Martial Artists stood with a solemn demeanor, shocked at the number of Golden Body Realm masters in this island country. It seemed it wasn’t going to be easy to capture.

Both groups occupied the north and south of the island, facing each other with cold defiance.

Before long, three majestic Spiritual Sparrowhawks flew in from the horizon—Lu Yao’s family had arrived.

After greeting everyone, Lu Yao said, “Everyone should leave the island and board the ships to watch the battle, so as to avoid any mishaps.”

The others did not insist on showing off, and after offering their good wishes and support, they stepped across the water to board the warships of the Zhenhai fleet as if on flat ground.

Yu Yanmei, Liao Qe, and Su Erya watched the battle from afar, riding on the Spiritual Sparrowhawks.

At that moment, the Izumo side also left the island en masse, running onto their own warships in the same fashion.

Then, a man dressed in a military uniform and wearing a mask flew in—it was Xu Fu!

~~~~~~~~~~

Upon meeting, Xu Fu looked down at Lu Yao and said knowingly, “You’ve entered the Golden Body Realm, have you? This is the confidence you have?”

As he spoke, he flicked a coin with his hand—a Primordial Magnetic Divine Thunder!

A red beam wrapped in electrical arcs whooshed toward them, its mere shockwave strong enough to upend the ground!

Lu Yao deliberately didn’t dodge and raised his hand to block the attack.

A thunderous boom followed, and a miniature mushroom cloud rose, with countless soil and stones thrown into the sky, obscuring the sun and with a blast wave roaring into a gale.

The attack was as earth-shattering as ever, but the next second, Lu Yao waved his hand, dispersing the dust and revealing his figure.

His entire forearm was covered in fine cracks, like a shattered porcelain piece put back together. The Golden Body that not even the 4 Great Grandmasters had managed to break was damaged in one hit!

Yet there was no joy on Xu Fu’s face.

Because the damaged Golden Body had healed in a single breath, the cracks from before seemed like an illusion. Moreover, he was now slowly floating in the air, leveling his gaze with Xu Fu!

“You’re not just a Golden Body, you’ve also passed the Heavenly Tribulation!!”

Xu Fu’s calm expression vanished, replaced by a look of shock. He could understand the Golden Body, but the Heavenly Tribulation was absolutely unacceptable!

He knew better than anyone the dangers of the Heavenly Tribulation, the birth and death, the smelting and forging—he had survived by the skin of his teeth.

Xu Fu couldn’t have imagined that the Science Academy of Xia Country would invent something like the Lightning Summoning Rocket, allowing Lu Yao to “scientifically transcend the tribulation.”

And at this moment, from the perspective of a Thunder Tribulation Realm, Lu Yao began to comprehend Xu Fu’s Electromagnetic Cannon Dao Arts anew.

[There are many core points. Need to compress the True Qi, infuse Mind Force, and there is electromagnetic secondary acceleration…]

The “Primordial Magnetic Divine Thunder” was exceedingly complex, requiring careful study, which Lu Yao temporarily set aside to face Xu Fu once again.

A heart projection with three heads and six arms flickered behind him, and a Willpower Golden Dragon coiled around him, transforming into dragon-shaped fierce flames.

With multiple forces stacked together, his momentum was so great that the ground beneath him couldn’t bear it and continued to roll and peel away.

“What I need right now is an opponent I can go all out against!”
