When Zhao Hai saw the Vermillion Bird Elder's expression, he could more or less guess what the elder was thinking. He smiled faintly and said, "You must be very curious as to why I'm doing this. Why would I give you a fair chance to fight? I'm not afraid to tell you. I just want to let the people of the Sacred Gate know that, even if it's a one-on-one battle, the people of the Sea Exploring Sect aren't afraid of you. We can also defeat you. It's that simple."
The Vermillion Bird Elder looked at Zhao Hai and sneered, "Then give it a try. Watch how we tear you to pieces."
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, "Elder Vermillion Bird, let the people below fight this battle. I won't participate, and neither will you. What do you think?"
The Vermillion Bird Elder looked at Zhao Hai and said, "Alright, I won't participate. You won't participate either. The location is right here. It wasn't easy for us to attack this place, so we won't retreat."
When Zhao Hai heard the Vermillion Bird Elder's words, he understood what the elder meant. He looked at the Vermillion Bird Elder and said, "Alright, I'll give you this chance. Disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect, listen up. Half of the disciples will face the enemy. The rest, retreat!"
The disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect responded loudly and immediately split into half. The disciples of the Sacred Gate also retreated. The Vermillion Bird Elder also retreated to the side. Naturally, Zhao Hai wouldn't follow and also retreated to the side.
Both sides quickly got into formation. Tie Shi commanded the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect to line up. At the same time, the Sky Restricting Great Array was also deactivated and all their large-scale artifacts were raised.
The large-scale artifacts left behind at the defensive line of the Chicken Heart Ridge didn't include the Ten Thousand Sword Ship. All the ships had been sent to attack the Wolf Ivory Mountain Range. The artifacts left behind here were mainly composed of the Iron Lotus Flower and some other artifacts. These artifacts were mainly used for defense. To be honest, their offensive capabilities weren't very strong.
On the other hand, the Holy Gate's disciples didn't stop the Scouring Sea Sect's disciples from using large artifacts. After all, large artifacts were the standard equipment of the Scouring Sea Sect's disciples. If the Scouring Sea Sect's disciples weren't allowed to use large artifacts, then the Holy Gate's disciples wouldn't be allowed to use large demonic beasts. That way, the Holy Gate's disciples wouldn't be allowed to use large artifacts. If that was the case, then the Holy Gate's disciples wouldn't have any advantages.
Both sides were ready very quickly. Tie Shi looked at the disciples of the Sacred Gate, and the disciples of the Sacred Gate looked back at Tie Shi. After a while, both sides suddenly shouted, "Attack!" Following their orders, both armies started to attack.
This time, the Sea Exploring Sect's attack method was a little different. They placed the Iron Lotus Flower at the front of the army, but didn't charge forward. In other words, they didn't attack the Sacred Gate's great array. The Iron Lotus Flower just stopped at the front of the army and rotated. It was obvious that it wasn't to be trifled with. The disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect all hid behind Tie Lianhua and slowly advanced forward.
On the other hand, the disciples of the Sacred Gate directly charged towards the army of the Sea Exploring Sect. They used the same old method. The large-scale demonic beasts were at the front, while the others followed behind. They charged towards the army of the Sea Exploring Sect.
Tie Shi quietly stood on the Iron Lotus Flower and looked at the approaching disciples of the Sacred Gate. Then, he said, "Pass down my order. Prepare the Medium Technique and Gravity Technique. Target the large-scale demonic beasts of the Sacred Gate. When the large-scale demonic beasts of the Sacred Gate enter two li in front of our great array, attack."
Someone immediately passed down the order. The disciples of the Sea Scouring Sect prepared their mediating magic. One must know that the mediating magic of the Sea Scouring Sect was very powerful. Moreover, they rarely used it in the past. They didn't know how effective it would be this time.
It didn't take long for the Holy Gate's army to reach within two li of the Sea Exploring Sect's army. The Sea Exploring Sect's army immediately sent out their mediating techniques. These mediating techniques used crystal stones as a medium. Now that the sky was filled with crystal stones, it looked very beautiful.
When the people of the Sacred Gate saw so many crystal stones being thrown out of the Sea Exploring Sect's great array, they couldn't help but be stunned. They didn't know what the Sacred Gate's Medium Technique was trying to do. Were they trying to bribe them with crystal stones? In front of the two armies? Impossible, right?
At this time, the crystal stones also hit the large-scale demonic beasts. When the crystal stones hit the demonic beasts, they immediately emitted a burst of yellow light. Then, the demonic beasts were shrouded by the yellow light. Then, layers of yellow light covered the bodies of the demonic beasts.
These large-scale demonic beasts seemed to be pulled down by a huge force from the sky. They struggled and even released their energy in order to block the yellow light. However, the yellow light was the Sea Exploring Sect's Medium Technique. It wasn't easy to break it. When the large-scale demonic beasts tried to break the yellow light, they had already fallen to the ground. Some of them directly fell to their deaths. Even those who didn't fall to their deaths didn't have any fighting strength left.
This change stunned the Sacred Gate's disciples. They couldn't help but slow down a little. However, they soon discovered that they were fine. They immediately began to rush towards the Sea Exploring Sect.
At this time, another pile of crystal stones was thrown out from the Sea Exploring Sect's great array. As soon as these crystal stones were thrown out, they immediately exploded and turned into fire dragons that rushed towards the Sacred Gate's disciples. Then, the third batch of crystal stones was thrown out. This time, it turned into a rain of swords that filled the sky.
Two batches of crystal stones were thrown out in succession. Then, the disciples of the Sea Exploring Sect also took out their own weapons. However, these weapons weren't their best weapons. After they took out their weapons, they immediately threw them out. These weapons went straight for the Sacred Sect's army.
Facing the fire dragons that blotted out the sky, the Sacred Gate's army immediately released their techniques to block these fire dragons' attacks. Then, another rain of arrows was launched. These two attacks caused the Sacred Gate's disciples to suffer a lot of losses. Just as this was over, the artifacts of the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples came again.
The attacks of the Sea Scouring Sect's disciples' weapons weren't easy to deal with. However, the disciples of the Sacred Sect were also very valiant. They resisted the attacks of these weapons and rushed to the front of the Sea Scouring Sect's large array formation.
However, as soon as they rushed to the front of the Sea Exploring Sect's great array, they discovered that they still had to face the iron lotuses of the Sea Exploring Sect. These iron lotuses rotated very quickly and their power was also very strong. It was almost impossible for them to knock these iron lotuses away. If they couldn't knock these iron lotuses away, they could only attack the Sea Exploring Sect's army through the gaps between the iron lotuses. However, this way, the Sacred Gate's formation couldn't be spread out.
The attacks of the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples were still intermittent. The disciples in the front took out their defensive artifacts and used them to block their bodies. The disciples in the back were still attacking the Sacred Gate's disciples with batches of crystal stones, artifacts, and even talismans.
At this time, several Sacred Gate's elders finally couldn't stand it anymore. They successively destroyed several iron lotuses. However, the experts of the Sea Exploring Sect also appeared. The experts of the Sea Exploring Sect also tangled with the experts of the Sacred Gate. Both sides fought.
At this time, the Sacred Gate's disciples seemed to have found a way to deal with the iron lotuses. They gathered their strength and attacked the iron lotuses. Although the casualties were higher, the iron lotuses were still shot down one after another.
However, the Sacred Gate also paid a huge price for this. Many disciples died in the battle. But in the eyes of the Sacred Gate's disciples, this price was worth it. Although they didn't shoot down all the iron lotuses, the remaining iron lotuses left the battlefield. They could finally face the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples face to face.
But soon, the Sacred Gate's disciples discovered that even if they faced the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples face to face, it wouldn't be easy to deal with them. The Sea Exploring Sect's disciples had been in a formation all along. They attacked the Sacred Gate's disciples without any intention of retreating.
Although many of the Sacred Gate's disciples were going all out, the Sea Exploring Sect's formation was very good. They were divided into square formations. This square formation was very thick and they weren't afraid of the Sacred Gate's disciples' attacks. Moreover, they just stood there and attacked without the slightest bit of chaos.
For the first time, the Sacred Gate's disciples doubted themselves. Could they really defeat the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples? Could they really? This was obviously very difficult.
Of course, because of the head-on battle, the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples also suffered a lot of casualties. But they didn't retreat, not a single one of them retreated. All of them stood in the middle of the large formation and kept attacking. When the people in front fell, the people behind would immediately replace them without any hesitation.
The Vermillion Bird Elder, who was standing on the side, looked more and more unsightly. Now, he really believed Zhao Hai's words. Even if the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples were in a formation, they wouldn't be afraid of them. They might not necessarily be able to do anything to the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples.
Looking at the current situation, it seemed like the Sacred Gate was still attacking. But the Sacred Gate's attack didn't have any effect. It was like the waves were hitting the reef on the shore. But it didn't have any effect. The reef was still a reef. It wasn't affected by the waves at all.
This was like a spear and a shield. Today, the Sea Exploring Sect was defending. They were the shield, and the Sacred Gate's disciples were the spear. They were constantly attacking, attacking, and attacking.
Zhao Hai also quietly looked at the battlefield. In fact, he was quite satisfied with the performance of the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples. The Sea Exploring Sect's disciples did a good job, but they still couldn't display their full strength. The Sea Exploring Sect's disciples should have arranged a poison belt in front of their large formation in advance. This way, when the enemy rushed to the poison belt, they would be poisoned and their combat strength would be affected.
Although the Iron Lotus Flower's offensive ability wasn't strong, it wasn't weak either. After the Sacred Gate's large demonic beasts were beaten down by the Gravity Technique, the Iron Lotus Flower should have attacked the Sacred Gate's disciples. This would have caused more casualties to the Sacred Gate's disciples. But they didn't attack and just stayed in place. This was also a mistake.
However, these were only mistakes in command. Zhao Hai knew that this was Tie Shi's fault. He was too careful and conservative. Therefore, this situation occurred.
Zhao Hai didn't blame Iron Shi. In fact, Iron Shi had done a good job. Iron Shi staying in front of the formation had its benefits, and rushing out had its benefits as well. It was just a matter of personal choice, there was no right or wrong. Iron Shi nodded.
On the other hand, the performance of the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples was really good. The cooperation between the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples was a little rusty at the beginning. But slowly, it became better and better. In the beginning, there was almost no cooperation between the various formations. But gradually, there was some cooperation between the various formations. Although there were a lot of casualties, Zhao Hai was very happy to see their performance.
The Vermillion Bird Elder's face was ashen. He knew that they had lost. There was no suspense. They had definitely lost because they hadn't even been able to destroy a single formation of the Sea Exploration Sect. Under such circumstances, it would be very difficult for them to defeat the Sea Exploration Sect. After all, their casualties had already reached 20 million while the Sea Exploration Sect's casualties were less than 10 million. The Sea Exploration Sect already had the advantage in terms of numbers. If they continued to fight, it wouldn't end well for them.
The Vermillion Bird Elder couldn't help but turn his head to look at Zhao Hai. Zhao Hai stood there calmly, looking at the situation on the battlefield. There was no happy or disappointed expression on his face. This made the Vermillion Bird Elder understand that the Sea Exploring Sect's performance was within Zhao Hai's expectations. Therefore, Zhao Hai didn't have a happy expression. This made the Vermillion Bird Elder's heart sink.
As the saying goes, the spirit of the first drum is strong, the second is weak, and the third is exhausted. Now, the Holy Gate's attack had been going on, but they had already attacked many times. Now, they felt that they were somewhat exhausted. This situation wasn't good news for the Holy Gate's disciples.
Zhao Hai also noticed the situation of the Holy Gate's disciples. Tie Shi immediately began to adjust the Sea Exploring Sect's army. The Sea Exploring Sect's disciples weren't only defending, they were also attacking. There were even a few square formations that had begun to slowly advance. This was almost a signal. The entire Sea Exploring Sect's army moved. Their movements weren't very fast, they were just advancing slowly. However, this kind of slow attack brought more pressure to the Holy Gate's disciples. The Holy Gate's disciples began to go all out, and the momentum of the Sea Exploring Sect's attack became fiercer.
When Tie Shi saw this situation, he knew that this was the final radiance of the Holy Gate's disciples. As long as the Holy Gate's disciples could withstand this attack, the Holy Gate's disciples would be finished. Therefore, he ordered the Sea Exploring Sect's army to stop attacking. The Sea Exploring Sect's square formations also stopped, and just like the beginning, they began to defend, allowing the Holy Gate's disciples to attack their army.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the Holy Gate's disciples' attack to slow down. Tie Shi immediately ordered the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples to press forward again. It was still a slow pace, but this time, the Holy Gate's disciples didn't counterattack with all their strength like before. Their strength seemed to have been exhausted. At the same time, many Holy Gate's disciples also discovered that their companions seemed to have decreased a lot. It was precisely because of this that they felt somewhat afraid.
However, the Holy Gate's disciples were still very tenacious. They were still attacking the Sea Exploring Sect's disciples, and didn't have the slightest intention of retreating. This made Zhao Hai admire them.
