Chapter 828 - 823: Our Grievances Settled Today
Buzz——
On the Turtle Ship Deck, invisible spell symbols lit up, shielding the ship.
Beiming Chuan smiled slightly: "Our Profound Mirror Style’s Turtle Ship is not something that can be split by some three-legged cat swordsmanship."
"Move!"
Another master, Beiming Mian, gave the order, and the disciples of the Profound Mirror Style surged forward instantly.
Bai Pu and Rein exchanged a glance, with great tacit understanding, each simultaneously unfolded their own Domain/True Intent Prototype!
For a time, the Prismatic Domain slowed down heavily, and the Heaven and Earth Copper Furnace Covering Deck left the many Awakened of the Star-Picking Tower with nowhere to escape.
The people of Star-Picking Tower scattered and fled.
They had not completed the main task and could not freely return to the real world.
Many cursed the Dragon King, saying he was a madman, planning to blow up the Turtle Ship. Why not inform in advance? Did he want to feed his own people to the fishes?
After all, the Star-Picking Tower is just a criminal organization. After the severe damage to Earth’s Primordial Qi, the Dragon King recruited wanted criminals madly in the Spirit Realm with the Northern Wind and Mount Tai, finally reviving the organization.
As for organizational cohesion... it’s like a castle built by children on the beach.
On the scene, only the Dragon King, Elder Mount Tai, and some of the original Elder members of the Star-Picking Tower launched a desperate attack on Bai Pu!
"As long as... as long as we can kill Gangxin..."
The eyes of the Dragon King and Mount Tai were blood-red, almost with a morbid frenzy.
Bai Pu stepped forward calmly.
A Star-Picking Tower Elder slashed with a knife, and Bai Pu, being swift, grabbed his arm, twisting and sending, causing the knife to turn around and pierce the Elder’s own chest and abdomen.
With a casual slap from Bai Pu, an irresistible force surged out, sending the Elder’s body flying back, crashing into the cabin wall and pinning him dead against it.
This wasn’t a skill but an overwhelming attribute advantage, making Bai Pu’s every move more powerful than the other’s mystical arts skill.
This Star-Picking Tower Elder had strength comparable to "Celestial Wolf," a strong figure Bai Pu met when he first entered the Demon Fighting World from the Star-Picking Tower. Bai Pu struggled back then, needing full power to cope.
Now, it was as easy as swatting a mosquito, effortlessly fluid.
Subsequently, Elder Mount Tai dashed forward, and Bai Pu drew out the Savior’s Hand Guarding Staff, blocking the opponent’s one-handed hammer strike.
Then Bai Pu, spinning and sliding like a phantom, appeared at Mount Tai’s side-rear and backhand drew out the Doomsday Blade Short Spear, piercing through Mount Tai’s back.
Mount Tai roared, feeling his body breaking open, arms suddenly spreading wide, attempting to grasp Bai Pu, making it easier for the Dragon King to strike.
However, Bai Pu was not fighting alone.
Dongbo Chengzhi came in with a sword, from an almost impossible angle, the Peacock Feather gently swept across, Mount Tai’s neck dropped as if blown by a gentle breeze.
The Dragon King, the "bandit leader," was forced into a corner by the combined attack of Beiming Chuan and Beiming Mian, with his Life Value continually decreasing.
"Dragon King... our grievances end today!"
Bai Pu tossed out the Doomsday Blade with a flick of his wrist.
Helical Throw - Desperate Gamble!
The short spear carried a long rainbow of blue and gold energy, piercing into the Dragon King’s chest, thoroughly penetrating him. The power of Shattering Mountain was triggered, and the Dragon King’s remaining Life Value was cleared, dying on the spot!
This battle was extremely easy for the natives, unlike the previous Shadow Island Chain battle, more like an after-dinner dessert.
However, for Bai Pu, it resolved a concern.
He felt at ease all over.
"Huh, the Dragon King didn’t drop a treasure chest, but Mount Tai actually left a Bloody Treasure Chest..."
Bai Pu was a bit surprised and collected Mount Tai’s Bloody Treasure Chest.
Upon touching the chest, a strange sensation surged in Bai Pu’s heart.
He could feel the Immortal King Set he wore trembling slightly, as if connected to Mount Tai’s Bloody Treasure Chest by invisible threads.
"This feeling is..."
Bai Pu was somewhat astonished, naturally paying more attention to the Bloody Treasure Chest left by Mount Tai.
The Star-Picking Tower, apart from an elder "Northern Wind," whereabouts unknown, had its upper echelons completely wiped out.
Of course, Bai Pu also had a theory about this, he said: "Lord Beiming Jihu, Dongbo, we should leave here quickly. I suspect that the Wild Warrior named Northern Wind is coordinating with the Demon Army in some remote place."
"You’re right, the leader of the Demon moles mentioned that the Demon Army is on the way, and he blew up the Turtle Ship to coordinate with the Demon Army’s actions."
As long as it wasn’t information regarding the World Mystery, Dongbo Chengzhi always had a good memory.
The Turtle Ship started moving.
Actually, as long as the Turtle Ship was intact, the two great oaths did not fear the Demon Army pursuing them from the island.
Aside from limited demon species like Tide Demons, Ghost Frogs, and Blood Sucking Demon Bats, most demons weren’t adept at water combat environments. Although they could use Demonic Power to tread on water, their fighting power would be significantly reduced.
Moreover, the battles against the Ghost Frog Group and Demon Bat Group dealt them severe blows, with the majority wiped out! Making them even less threatening.
Only by destroying the Turtle Ship would both sides fight on the same level, allowing the demons to leverage their numbers.
But the Black Tortoise Oath’s Turtle Ship was very sturdy, inscribed with the defensive spell array "Black Tortoise Barrier," effectively protecting the vessel.
With a solid footing, human warriors naturally had a significant advantage fighting demons.
Therefore, even though the Turtle Ship was not fast, people speculated that the demons would not rashly pursue and encircle the Turtle Ship.
After the Turtle Ship started moving, Beiming Jihu invited several Guardian Camp strongmen, including Bai Pu, for a meeting.
"Yesterday some news came from the White Tiger Oath..."
With Beiming Jihu’s permission, Beiming Chuan informed everyone, "The White Tiger Oath is a Demon Control Master force led by the Xiyuan Clan, and the wealthiest among the Four Great Oaths... For example, the spells on our Turtle Ship were purchased from them, costing a lot."
"Don’t talk about irrelevant small matters. Get to the point!" Beiming Jihu frowned.
Beiming Chuan patted his forehead, smiled apologetically, and continued, "The White Tiger Oath Expedition Team, after entering the Underworld, reached the ’Obsidian Plain’ in the west, which is the territory of Emperor Yan. Although wealthy, they didn’t do well in this underworld expedition..."
Bai Pu was slightly taken aback, saying, "I heard last time that the Xiyuan Clan was active in the Obsidian Plain, continuously capturing and training neutral demons, with fruitful results. How did it turn out this way in just a few days?"
"The problem lies here. When the Xiyuan Clan captured neutral demons, the Demon Generals under Emperor Yan did not stop them but instead secretly connected with those neutral Demon Lords!"
Beiming Chuan sighed, "Although Lord Xiyuan Zhang managed to tame some demons, enhancing the strength of the White Tiger Oath Expedition Team, it also made every neutral demon feel threatened. The originally scattered neutral demons joined Emperor Yan’s army for protection.
"In the most recent event, when the Xiyuan Clan reached Black Stone Canyon to try and subdue a demon lord, they were encircled by Emperor Yan’s army, suffering heavy losses."
