Free Web NovelChapter 408: Chapter 366: Reversal
At the brink of life and death, Yang Jiye withdrew his dual swords and hammers, unleashing the last of his spiritual power to activate a copper ring. With a flash of light, the copper ring magnified, enveloping him protectively.
Qiuniu bit down with a crunch, clamping tightly onto the copper ring!
With the sound of grating, Qiuniu’s sharp fangs applied pressure, and the copper ring emitted an unbearable hum, beginning to deform. It wouldn’t hold out for long.
The situation was extremely dire!
Wu Yan saw Yang Jiye about to perish in the beast’s mouth and was horrified. After they arrived, the number of Inner Sect Disciples from the Yunshan Sect was sufficient, and they were preparing to launch the Vast Sea Star Battle Array, but coordinating the array required time. There was no way it could happen in time now!
She instinctively murmured, "Sister!"
The Primordial Pearl trembled gently within her Dantian, seeming to issue a warning, and Wu Yan reacted instantly. With over two hundred people entangled before her, if the Primordial Pearl acted, keeping it a secret would be impossible, bringing disaster upon the Yunshan Sect.
While her heart was burning with anxiety, a pair of pitch-black eyes had been observing from the forest below for quite some time.
It was Wang Yu, who had just returned to Chongming County with his half-human, half-corpse physique after achieving Foundation Establishment, and was drawn here by the sounds of battle.
He fixed his gaze on Yang Jiye, struggling in the air, clutching the Hornless Dragon Heaven-Piercing Halberd tightly, veins bulging on his face, and his body trembling, his heart shouting endlessly.
No, I must rescue Senior Brother Yang!
However, a cold voice also echoed in his mind.
It’s not the time yet, now is not the best opportunity! You know, exposing too early can save Yang Jiye but won’t secure the victory!
But Senior Brother Yang is about to die!
He can hold on a little longer! Besides, even if he dies, so what? Remember, we’re working for the greatest benefit of the Yunshan Sect!
How can you use Senior Brother Yang as bait?
Bait? For greater victory, some sacrifices are worth it. Wang Yu, you should understand this; you should be able to calculate the outcome! Don’t let useless emotions cloud your judgment.
...
Thoughts swirled like a tangled mess in Wang Yu’s mind, his inner struggle freezing his straining, muscle-swollen body.
In the next moment, a flash of light appeared behind the already struggling Mo Hua, and Ning Songzhi instantly teleported over, grasping his shoulder firmly.
He intended to teleport Mo Hua away!
At that instant, the two voices in Wang Yu’s heart finally merged.
Now!
The black lotus in Wang Yu’s Dantian quivered, filled with the power of Spiritual Evil, his muscles bulging, his physique swelling slightly, twisting his bear-like waist, his legs exerting force, cracking the ground with immense power surging from his feet to his arms!
The Hornless Dragon Heaven-Piercing Halberd in his grasp burst forth with brilliant light, a phantom of the white dragon coiling around the halberd’s edge, the entire weapon radiating a sharp, overwhelming force.
Lean back, swing the arm, throw!
With a booming roar! Trees in the forest toppled, and the Hornless Dragon Heaven-Piercing Halberd, with the weight of a thousand jun, transformed into a dazzling beam, thundering and flashing, the dragon’s shadow swirling, it surged toward Xu Chengyun’s back!
Xu Chengyun, fully focused on controlling Qiuniu, barely had time to activate his defensive spiritual artifact.
Meanwhile, Ning Songzhi had just grasped Mo Hua, completing a teleportation to extract him from the encirclement, and as his vision cleared, he saw the halberd strike Xu Chengyun!
With a thunderous explosion!
A scream, a splash of blood, Ning Songzhi’s eyes split in fury, unable to save in time!
At this moment, with a crackling sound, Qiuniu crushed the copper ring into pieces, its sharp fangs piercing Yang Jiye’s body.
But an overwhelming weakness suddenly surged through, and Qiuniu let out a reluctant low moo, disappearing into the air.
The bodies of Xu Chengyun and Yang Jiye fell simultaneously, caught by separate figures.
The one who caught Xu Chengyun was Ning Songzhi. Frantically, he looked at Xu Chengyun, whose face had turned an ashen yellow, his right side with a massive wound piercing from back to chest, nearly destroying his scapula!
Blood gushed forth, and Ning Songzhi flashed into teleportation again, appearing behind Mo Hua, and under Mo Hua’s cover, he swiftly took out miraculous elixirs, placing them into Xu Chengyun’s mouth, pressing one palm on his wound, the other on his back, striving to dissolve the medicine’s power with spiritual energy.
Meanwhile, Yang Jiye’s blood-drenched body was caught by Wang Yu. He summoned back the thrown Hornless Dragon Halberd with one hand, holding Yang Jiye with the other, his eyes under the conical hat coldly watching Xu Chengyun.
Having become a half-corpse, he was extremely sensitive to the vitality of life. Though Xu Chengyun’s aura was faint, it was still there, not dissipated.
This late-stage Foundation Establishment Xuanguang Sect Sect Leader was indeed not easy to kill. Even with a full-force ambush and a top-notch spiritual artifact, the Hornless Dragon Halberd, it still fell short of taking his life.
Yang Jiye was heavily injured, his spiritual power exhausted, unable to move, weakly asking, "Thank you for the rescue, who might you be, esteemed friend?"
It turned out that Wang Yu’s form and aura had completely changed, and with the black silk conical hat, even Yang Jiye couldn’t recognize him immediately.
Wang Yu did not speak, holding the long halberd, turning his body, and flew towards Wu Yan: "The chance for victory has come, annihilate them!"
Yang Jiye found the voice familiar, but his mind was foggy, unable to match the voice to anyone.
In this rapid series of events, in the blink of an eye, Xu Chengyun and Yang Jiye had both lost their combat ability, the Divine Ship slowly retreating with severe damage, two of the enemy’s floating battleships about to catch up, ready to broadside and fire.
Upon hearing Wang Yu’s shout, Wu Yan was the first to react. Though unaware of Wang Yu’s identity, he was certainly a friend, not a foe, so she took over from Yang Jiye, conjuring blue spirit water in her hand, using a secret technique to heal Yang Jiye, shouting: "Counterattack, kill the enemy!"
With a whistle, Xiao Tianci led the elite squad towards the wounded Mo Hua to engage him. Wang Yu’s figure flickered, crashing into a Xuanguang Sect floating battleship, swinging the halberd, and white light surged, causing several Xuanguang Sect Qi Cultivators’ heads to fly high!
Ning Songzhi was alarmed. Having activated Dao Patterns multiple times, his spiritual power was close to depletion, and needing to stabilize the Spiritual Mechanism for the critically injured Xu Chengyun left him unable to act.
Seeing the tide turn instantly, confusion filled his heart, unsure whether to retreat or stay. Fortunately, Xu Chengyun managed to barely open his eyes, weakly saying: "Retreat... scatter and flee..."
Though seriously wounded, his mind remained clear, making the right choice.
With his reminder, Ning Songzhi finally responded. With the tide of battle shifting, insisting on fighting to the end, even if they could destroy two of the Shuangye Alliance’s Divine Ships, would ultimately lead to total annihilation.
Now, the two Divine Ships of the Shuangye Alliance were severely damaged, unable to pursue. Abandoning the two floating battleships now, scattering to escape, would preserve vitality to the greatest extent.
At that moment, Ning Songzhi gritted his teeth and loudly gave the order.
