327: Chapter 327 First Cut Off the Wings
The True Disciples all displayed their movement techniques, gathering behind Xing Tiexin.
Pei Tieshan laughed heartily, his blood and Qi boiling like a furnace: "Damn it, my hands are just itching! Watch Grandpa smash these skull heads!"
Shui Qingdie's eyes shimmered, and she waved her jade hand lightly. A seven-colored radiance flashed, and the disturbing wails of ghosts surrounding them were mostly blocked out.
Yu Miaoqing's ancient sword was already unsheathed by half an inch, her Sword Qi contained but not revealed.
Feng Xuan had a Jade Slip in his hand, his expression steady.
Dongfang Xinghe frowned, seemingly calculating the weaknesses of this Formation rapidly.
Yun Wuji had appeared on the deck at some unknown moment, still standing with his hands behind his back, expressionlessly watching the Formation Domain.
Tang Yun was full of excitement, purple lightning flickering around his body, staring at those bandits as if they were prey.
Ye Tian also arrived on the deck, standing in the ranks of the True Disciples.
His expression was calm, his gaze sweeping over the three black war-boats and the dark red Domain shrouding the surroundings. Finally, seemingly inadvertently, he cast a glance toward the seemingly empty, extremely high and distant clouds behind the cloud-boat.
There, the few faint fluctuations that had been following them were now completely still, seemingly watching quietly.
"Kill! Leave none alive!" The Ghost-faced Leader waved a serrated ghost-head blade, charging toward the "wave-breaker" first, while dozens of bandits behind him also let out strange cries and launched a charge.
They seemed unaffected by the Formation's suppression; on the contrary, they were like fish in water, their Aura even stronger.
"Engage the enemy!" Elder Xing Tiexin shouted sharply, the first to transform into a golden light as he met the Ghost-faced Leader. Elder Qinglan sat in command of the cloud-boat, maintaining defenses and dealing with potential attacks aimed at the cloud-boat.
The great battle was on the verge of breaking out!
Pei Tieshan roared, like a humanoid tyrannosaur, charging directly toward a black war-boat. His fists were covered in an earthy-colored radiance as he smashed toward the black war-boat's protective light barrier! "Open for me!"
"Boom!" The war-boat's light barrier shook violently.
Several bandits leaped down from the war-boat, brandishing weapons to kill Pei Tieshan, but were sent vomiting blood by his few punches.
Shui Qingdie's figure was elusive. The approaching bandits' eyes instantly became dazed, their movements sluggish, and they were easily struck in their vital points by her, collapsing down.
Yu Miaoqing's sword light was like snow; every time she thrust her sword, a bandit's throat would spurt blood, without a single wasted movement.
Feng Xuan did not charge into the fray directly. Instead, holding a Jade Slip, he muttered incantations. Golden runes flew out from the Jade Slip and landed on the surrounding fellow disciples, actually boosting everyone's resistance to the evil Formation's suppression and purifying some of the mental disturbances.
He would even point out from time to time, indicating the weak points in the Formation's flow to guide their attacks.
Dongfang Xinghe crouched in a corner of the deck, his ten fingers dancing. Countless threads of spiritual power shot from his fingertips, sinking into the cloud-boat's defensive Formation, actually optimizing and strengthening the cloud-boat's local defenses on the spot, while analyzing that Formation.
Tang Yun's purple lightning danced wildly as he charged into the group of bandits. Where he passed, lightning exploded, and screams rang out continuously. His fighting style was fierce, instantly attracting the siege of several bandits at the Seventh or Eighth Stage of True Martial Realm, yet he fought impressively.
Yun Wuji... he still had not moved.
He just watched the battlefield quietly, his gaze occasionally sweeping over those bandit leaders, then looking toward the clouds behind them, his eyebrows twitching almost imperceptibly.
Ye Tian moved as well.
He did not choose the most intense battle group, but instead killed toward the flank.
Three bandits at the Seventh Stage of True Martial Realm discovered him, grinning maliciously as they flanked him, their blades surging with Evil Qi.
"Kid, die!"
Ye Tian did not draw his sword, only flicking his finger three times like lightning.
Three soft sounds occurred almost simultaneously.
The three bandits remained frozen in their forward-charging posture, each having a red dot on their glabella. The light in their eyes rapidly dimmed, and they collapsed to the ground with a thud.
Ye Tian did not stop, having already swept past them, heading straight for the bottom of one of the black war-boats.
He had seen it: these three war-boats were the hubs of the Formation, especially the central war-boat where the Ghost-faced Leader was, which was the core.
To capture the bandits, one must first capture the leader; to break the Formation, one must destroy the hub.
His movements were fluid like flowing water, relaxed and effortless. Killing the three bandits immediately attracted quite a few gazes.
"Junior Brother Ye has such handsome skill!" an Inner Sect Disciple exclaimed.
"Is that... Sword Finger? To have such power!"
Ye Tian's gaze locked onto the central black war-boat.
At this moment, the Ghost-faced Leader was locked in fierce battle with Elder Xing Tiexin, Sword Qi and blade light crisscrossing.
It was unknown what strange secret technique the leader had used; despite clearly being only at the Tenth Stage of the True Martial Realm, he was actually fighting to a standstill with Elder Xing Tiexin, who was at the Second Stage of the Sea Transformation Realm.
On the war-boat, there were also two lieutenants at the Ninth Stage of the True Martial Realm, currently commanding the bandits to besiege the cloud-boat and maintaining the operation of the Formation.
"Must cut off their wings first." Ye Tian's figure suddenly accelerated, dashing straight toward one of the lieutenants at the Ninth Stage of the True Martial Realm, a wisp of God-Shocking Sting already attacking the opponent's mind first.
That lieutenant was concentrating fully on driving the Formation, when he suddenly felt a pain in his brain, his movements instantly stalling.
He looked up in horror, only to see a green-robed figure already appearing before him, followed by a purple-black sword light descending upon his body!
No nonsense, it was a killing blow directly! Ye Tian knew well that he needed to end this quickly.
The lieutenant roared, waving a large crimson axe to block, the axe body igniting with blood flames.
The sword slashed onto the large crimson axe, and thunder exploded!
That large axe of extraordinary quality was actually slashed with a notch, and the violent power of thunder surged along the axe body into the lieutenant's body, shocking him until his whole body trembled violently, and he spat out blood.
However, the commotion of Ye Tian's strike also completely attracted the attention of other bandits on the war-boat, and further drew the siege of the other lieutenant at the Ninth Stage of the True Martial Realm and seven or eight nearby bandits at the Middle Stage of the True Martial Realm.
"Kill him!" Amidst the angry roars, the light of various weapons and Martial Skills submerged Ye Tian.
Ye Tian's eyes were slightly cold; no longer holding back, he swung the sword, transforming it into a Domain of thunder, protecting himself.
Every time he swung his sword, a bandit would either die or be injured.
"So strong!" Even Xing Tiexin, who was in the middle of a fierce battle, couldn't help but glance over, praising him inwardly.
"This kid is troublesome! Let's join forces to slaughter him first!"
The lieutenant at the Ninth Stage of the True Martial Realm who had been shaken and injured caught his breath. Exchanging a glance with the other lieutenant, a fierce look flashed in their eyes. At the same time, they abandoned their attack on the cloud-boat and turned to pounce toward Ye Tian, one on the left and one on the right, forming a pincer attack.
They could see that this green-robed kid who had suddenly popped up was a huge threat!
Facing the siege of two lieutenants at the Ninth Stage of the True Martial Realm and several at the Middle Stage of the True Martial Realm, Ye Tian did not have the slightest bit of fear.
This level of siege was still far from the desperate situations in the Land of Flowing Fire!
He let out a long whistle, his True Yuan surging within his body, the lightning light of the sword flaring greatly as he actively met the lieutenant on the left who was wielding a blade!
At the same time, his left hand transformed into a palm, thunder light faintly appearing in his palm, and he struck toward the chest of the lieutenant on the right who was wielding a whip, forcing him to defend.
Blade and sword intersected, and the lieutenant wielding the blade immediately staggered backward.
The other lieutenant was also forced to stall his offensive by the palm power.
Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Tian swung the sword, the sword carving a circular arc of thunder light, sweeping away all the weapons of the few bandits at the Middle Stage of the True Martial Realm who had taken the opportunity to attack. Where the sword edge passed, blood sprayed.
"Is this kid a Body Cultivator? How is his strength so great?!"
"His thunder suppresses our Evil Qi!"
The two lieutenants were both shocked and angry.
Ye Tian, having gained the upper hand, did not let up. Stomping his feet, he pounced toward the lieutenant wielding the blade once again.
The lieutenant wielding the blade blocked in a panic.
The sword light pierced through the curtain of blades, leaving a blood groove on his shoulder, the thunder force penetrating, causing half of his body to become paralyzed.
"Second Brother!" The lieutenant wielding the whip shouted in shock and anger, his long whip coiling toward Ye Tian's waist.
Ye Tian slashed back with the sword, the lightning light spreading up along the whip body, shocking the lieutenant's arm until it went numb.
At the same time, his left finger flicked out like lightning, Sword Qi shooting toward the opponent's knee.
"Ah!" The lieutenant wielding the whip screamed as he fell to one knee.
In just over a dozen breaths, two lieutenants at the Ninth Stage of the True Martial Realm were one injured and one crippled! The formidable combat power Ye Tian displayed once again shocked the entire scene!
Even the morale of those bandits who were in the middle of fierce battles with other True Disciples and Inner Sect elites was dampened.
