"How can this woman be so powerful?"
With both attacks thwarted in succession, Tu Chishe flashed away, quickly creating distance, while secretly alarmed.
They thought the ambush on the Gong family's fleet was a sure thing, but unexpected things happened. Unfortunately, the main family was unable to send any hidden cultivators to help them because of the Qiling Sect's intimidation.
However, although Gong Qingru's strength is stronger than imagined, she is still just one person!
Tu Chishe gritted his teeth, unleashing all the crimson flame true qi that had condensed within his acupoints when he broke through the secret realm. This formed a flame about a foot thick around his body, and at the same time, he summoned back the Crimson Winged Fire Python, launching a pincer attack on Gong Qingru once again.
When a cultivator breaks through a secret realm, the spiritual energy within their body accumulates into liquid, and the purest part transforms into true qi, which is stored in the secret acupoints!
The quality of True Qi varies depending on the cultivation method practiced by the cultivator, and its power also varies greatly. However, regardless of the type of True Qi, it is one of the important offensive and defensive means for cultivators of the Secret Realm.
Seeing this, Gong Qingru dared not underestimate her. She first waved her hand, creating several lifelike ice petals, which temporarily slowed down Tu Chishe's figure.
Then, frost and cold mist appeared in his body. He used his divine sense to control the Five Elements Beads to rotate rapidly. He poured all his spiritual power into the Ice Crystal Sword. He used two spiritual weapons at the same time and fought against the approaching Red Serpent and his spirit pet.
The battle between the powerful figures in the secret realm was incredibly fierce, with flashing sword light and crisscrossing blade energy. Ordinary cultivators caught in the fray would either die or be seriously injured. Fortunately, both of them had already leaped to a height of a thousand feet, so the terrifying aftershocks of the battle did not endanger the ships below.
Meanwhile, on the sea surface...
Although they were caught off guard by the crossbow bolts fired by Jie Xiu, the Gong family was well prepared. After a moment of panic, they quickly retaliated!
"Whoosh whoosh!"
The magical crossbows on the Giant Swamp were seen flashing with array light, and the thick, dark red crossbow bolts whistled through the air as they hurtled towards the raiding ship.
"Boom boom boom!"
"Ah! Help!"
Amidst a violent explosion and cries of agony, at least six raiding ships were struck by this volley of crossbow bolts and shattered into pieces amidst towering flames!
It should be noted that the crossbows on the Giant Swamp are all of the highest grade magic weapon level. They are not only engraved with high-grade formations such as speed and wind-breaking, but also equipped with terrifyingly powerful fireball arrows.
One of them costs as much as four hundred spirit stones, which is even more expensive than some mid-grade magic weapons. This is not shooting people with arrows, it's throwing spirit stones at them!
Unfortunately, this incredibly destructive magical artifact is also enormous, almost half the size of a small spirit ship. Furthermore, the recoil generated when activated is extremely strong; a ship like the one Chen Ye was riding on would probably be shattered after just one activation!
Only a large treasure ship like the Juze, which is over a hundred feet long, could withstand such an impact.
However, the number of hijacked ships was simply too great, and the sea surface was densely packed with them as far as the eye could see.
Despite the destruction of more than a dozen ships after several rounds of bombardment, many raiding ships still risked being blasted to pieces and rushed into the Gong family's fleet.
Once the two sides merge, even the Demon-Hunting Crossbow will become useless, and a great war will break out at any moment.
"Kill the entire Gong family!"
"The boss said we can rob any cargo on the ship we want!"
Amidst the chaotic roars, a gray-robed cultivator suddenly leaped onto the Gong family's ship, his black giant axe gleaming coldly as he cleaved towards a member of the Gong family from outside the clan on the deck with the force of splitting mountains and shattering rocks.
The non-Chen Ye clansman had entered the Gong family five years earlier than Chen Ye, but his cultivation had only just broken through to the mid-stage of the Spirit Gathering realm. Seeing the fierce Tribulation cultivator rushing towards him, he hurriedly raised a mixed iron magic sword to fight back.
But to everyone's surprise, when the giant axe fell, the magic sword in his hand was easily cut in half, and he was inevitably split in two!
wow~~
Blood and organs were scattered on the deck along with the shattered corpse, a truly gruesome sight.
"Haha! This mid-grade magic artifact is really useful!"
Jie Xiu grinned. Although his cultivation had already reached the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering stage, he had never possessed a mid-grade magic weapon before.
Despite these thieves appearing and disappearing without a trace while plundering merchant ships, their success rate is pitifully low, and their lives are not much better than those of ordinary rogue cultivators.
"Pfft!"
Before his laughter had even subsided, a member of the Gong family chopped off his head from behind with a sword.
"Bah! If it weren't for the Zhou family providing them, would you even deserve to use high-grade or mid-grade magic artifacts?"
The members of the Gong family spat at the corpse of Jie Xiu; how could they not see the origin of these exquisite magical artifacts?
The spirit ship where Chen Ye was located was also targeted. Dozens of cultivators rushed to the bow of the ship one after another and started killing under the leadership of a late-stage Spirit Condensation cultivator. Shouts of killing rose up everywhere.
In the innermost room of the ship's cabin, Chen Ye held the Azure Pattern Spear and listened warily to the sounds outside. He originally wanted to find a more secluded place to directly control the Azure Pattern Spear with his divine sense to defend against enemies.
Unfortunately, the spirit ship was too small, less than ten zhang long from bow to stern, so even if he wanted to hide, there was nowhere to hide.
At this time.
boom!
The room shook, and the tightly closed door was kicked open. A burly man with a red face strode in, and when he saw Chen Ye, a grin immediately spread across his face.
"Haha, here's one, it's mine!"
Click!
Before he could finish speaking, a sharp, cold light pierced his brow. The Azure Spear transformed into a beam of blue light and instantly pierced through the back of his head, splashing thick brain fluid mixed with bone fragments onto the wall!
With a single fatal blow, Chen Ye remained completely calm. Just as he was about to retrieve his magical weapon and continue to wait for another enemy to strike, another cultivator rushed into the room.
"Third Brother!"
When the young cultivator saw the red-faced man with a large hole in his head, a look of sorrow immediately appeared in his eyes. Then, his face full of anger, he rushed towards Chen Ye.
If you value loyalty and righteousness so much, why are you undergoing tribulation cultivation?
Chen Ye was speechless. He quickly channeled his spiritual energy to his fingertips, then flicked his finger, and a sharp beam of energy shot out from his fingertip!
puff!
The young cultivator paused, looked down, and saw only a bowl-sized hole in his chest. One thought filled his mind: It hurts so much…
Click!
Another burst of energy flashed, and the young cultivator's head exploded completely!
After killing two people, Chen Ye approached with an indifferent expression, comparing the corpses of the two cultivators.
The red-faced giant's cultivation level was around the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm. If he hadn't broken through, I'm afraid I would have had to activate the demonic soul within the Azure Pattern Spear to successfully kill him.
Now that he has reached the mid-stage of the Spirit Gathering realm, Chen Ye's spiritual power has increased, and he can now wield the Azure Pattern Spear faster and more fiercely.
Even cultivators at the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering stage are unable to react in time at close range.
This young cultivator was on par with Chen Ye, both possessing the cultivation level of the fourth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm.
However, he could instantly kill it simply by relying on the Spirit Annihilation Finger.
"In other words... as long as the Azure Pattern Spear and the Spirit Annihilation Finger are used in proper coordination, there will be no one within the mid-stage of the Spirit Condensation realm who can withstand a single blow from me... Hiss!!"
