Actually, Shui Wuhen was simply lying. The four great sects only sent a total of nine Loose Immortals. How could it be as many as she said?
However, Protector Jin did not know that the other party was bluffing. In addition, they could be considered to be exhausted right now. Their mentality was weak, so they had the intention to retreat.
After all, they did not have a top-notch flying boat as a means of transportation. They could only rely on themselves to survive in the Chaotic Peak Ocean. After so many days, they had used up a lot of magic power. In addition to the battle with Ling Xiaozi, they had also used up a lot of magic power. Their current state was only half of their usual state. Under such circumstances, even if they faced the same number of Bodiless Immortals, they would most likely lose, let alone a dozen of them.
As top level demonic beasts, Protector Jin and the others were very astute. After realizing that things were not going well, they immediately smiled and said, "It seems that you human cultivators are determined to get Ling Xiao?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. These are the orders of the elders of the Celestial World. We can only obey them," Shui Wuhen said politely.
"Haha, that's right, that's right. We were also forced by the elders above us. We had no choice but to brace ourselves and come here. In the end, we discovered that we were unable to do anything. What a joke." Protector Jin pretended to be helpless as he spoke.
"Haha, Senior is too polite! Shui Wuhen smiled unhurriedly and said, "Since that's the case, why don't Seniors take a rest first and let us exterminate this hut?"
"Alright! In any case, everyone is here to eliminate this traitor. Since you are here, then let's retreat! "Protector Jin smiled and said," I wish you all good luck! "
After he finished speaking, Protector Jin transformed into a golden phoenix once more. After that, he let out a long cry and called out to all the demon beasts before flying away in a mighty manner. Their movements were as fast as lightning. Even the slowest Black Tortoise had an extremely high speed. In just a short moment, they had disappeared into the vast and chaotic peaks.
Seeing that the yao beasts had retreated, Shui Wuhen and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Next, their gazes locked onto Ling Xiaozi.
At this moment, Ling Xiao had already stopped panting. He stared at the Ice Fiend Divine Boat with a complicated expression. No one knew what he was thinking.
Right at this moment, everyone suddenly discovered that the surroundings lit up with rays of white light. Following that, they saw nine sage-like Loose Immortals appear, directly surrounding Ling Xiao.
With their appearance, the surrounding atmosphere suddenly tensed up, as if a storm was about to come.
These nine Loose Immortals were all at least at the second rank. The strongest was a rank four Loose Immortal from the Xuantian Dao Sect. Since he was the strongest, he naturally became the overall commander of this operation.
The silver-haired elderly Daoist priest immediately issued an order, "Wu Hen, summon all of the Grand Ascension Stage cultivators to assist in this battle. The Glacial Ice Fiend Divine Ark will provide support from the outside! We have to end the battle in the shortest time possible. Those demons won't retreat just like that. They must still be watching us in the dark! We can't give them the chance to take advantage of us! "
"Yes!" Shui Wuhen was startled. Only now did she understand why the demons had retreated so quickly. Thus, she hastily agreed to go back and call for reinforcements.
Not long after, the ten Grand Ascension Stage cultivators on the Glacial Ice Fiend Divine Ark appeared. Even the Star Monarchs of the Heavenly Fate Dao Sect were no exception. They formed a circle behind the nine Loose Immortals, coordinating with the Loose Immortals from afar, completely trapping Ling Xiao.
However, even though he was surrounded by over ten peak experts, Ling Xiao didn't reveal any panic. He only looked at the Glacial Ice Fiend Divine Ark with a strange gaze.
Seeing that the encirclement was complete, the leading Loose Immortal immediately shouted, "Ling Xiao, if you surrender now, we can give you a quick death and let you reincarnate. Otherwise, don't blame us for being impolite!"
"You talk too much!" Despite being injured and exhausted, Ling Xiao's gaze was still incomparably sharp. His words were still incomparably arrogant. As expected of an expert who had ascended back then! Even Song Zhong, who was his opponent, couldn't help but secretly nod in praise.
However, those Loose Immortals weren't so good-tempered. The leading guy said solemnly, "Since you're so stubborn, then there's no other way. Kill him!"
With that, he took the lead and brazenly activated his Immortal Artifact Flywheel. A light wheel with a diameter of over a hundred feet, carrying the light of different attributes of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, smashed fiercely towards Ling Xiao's head like a mountain.
Seeing that the leader had made his move, the other Loose Immortals didn't hold back either. They all took out their magic treasures and flying swords and used all their strength to smash at Ling Xiao. For a time, powerful colorful Dao techniques filled the entire space. The sharp sword qi cut through the space and trembled. The terrifying spiritual energy within a radius of thousands of miles was surging. The mountain peaks that were slightly closer were shattered on the spot. The power of a Loose Immortal was actually this strong!
When Song Zhong and the others in the distance saw this scene, they couldn't help but gasp!
However, what truly shocked Song Zhong was yet to come. Ling Xiao, who was drowned by various Dao techniques, magic treasures, and sword qi, didn't panic at all. He just sneered, and then he raised his sword and roared at the same time. "Break!"
Following Ling Xiaozi's furious roar, the silver flying sword in his hand suddenly blossomed with a terrifying radiance that was countless times more dazzling than the sun. It was as if the silver sun had exploded, enveloping an area of nearly ten thousand miles in radius. All the Loose Immortals and Grand Ascension cultivators were enveloped in it.
Everywhere this terrifying light passed, regardless of Dao techniques or sword qi, everything was annihilated into nothingness. Whether it was magic treasures or flying swords, they were all blasted flying for tens of thousands of kilometers. Even if they were Pseudo Immortal Artifacts, fine cracks appeared on all of them. Obviously, they were heavily injured.
As for those who were hit, they were extremely uncomfortable. The Loose Immortals were fine. They were powerful, and they relied on protective magic treasures to fly out of the attack range at the last moment. Although they were in a sorry state, they were fine. However, those Grand Ascension cultivators were extremely unlucky. All of them were heavily injured and vomited blood from the shock, and their combat strength was reduced by 80 to 90%. Fortunately, they were at the periphery. If they were closer, they might even lose their lives.
Among them, the only ones who were unscathed were Song Zhong and the others. One reason was because the Ice Fiend Divine Ark was far away, and coupled with its powerful defensive abilities, the entire ark was only knocked back a few hundred kilometers without being injured.
When the terrifying white light dissipated, everyone looked at the battlefield and shockingly discovered that Ling Xiao had already disappeared without a trace. The group of people had finally found the culprit with great difficulty to surround him, but in the end, he had escaped. How could the nine Loose Immortals endure this?
"Damn it, find him!" the leading Loose Immortal shouted angrily at the Star Monarch.
In the face of the Loose Immortal's fury, the Star Monarch didn't dare to be negligent. He endured his injuries and took out a set of bones to begin divining. In such a chaotic battlefield, all sorts of auras had been destroyed to the point of being in disorder, so it could be said to be extremely difficult to find a single Loose Immortal that had escaped.
However, with a Loose Immortal watching, the Star Monarch didn't dare to say how difficult it was for him. Helpless, he could only risk his life and forcefully perform the divination. After vomiting a few mouthfuls of blood essence, he finally calculated the direction Ling Xiao had escaped in. After the divination, the Star Monarch aged dozens of years. His body was on the verge of collapse, and he was extremely pitiful.
Song Zhong didn't have the time to care about this. After knowing the direction Ling Xiao had escaped in, he didn't hesitate at all. He immediately activated the Ice Fiend Divine Ark and chased after him at the fastest speed.
After so many days of flying in the Chaotic Peak Ocean, SongZhong already had some understanding of the flying techniques here. Although it was still not enough to display its maximum speed, it could still reach sixty to seventy percent of its maximum speed. Catching up to an injured Ling Xiaozi was not a problem.
In fact, although Song Zhong and the others were extremely shocked by Ling Xiaozi's attack just now, after he escaped, Song Zhong immediately understood that this was definitely one of those life-saving big moves. After using it, it would inevitably cause great damage to one's vitality, and one's battle prowess would also be greatly reduced by a lot.
If Ling Xiao had been able to maintain such a battle prowess, he would have killed all nine of the Great Disbanded Immortals a long time ago. Why would he need to run away?
It was because of this idea that Song Zhong was so eager to chase after them. One reason was to give an explanation to the three great sects, and the other reason was that he wanted to see what other earth-shattering methods the Immortals had up their sleeves.
It had to be said that Ling Xiaozi being able to hold on until now was already considered a miracle. First, he was besieged by nine great Demonic Beasts for several days, and then he was surrounded by nine great Disbanded Immortals. In the end, he was still able to escape. It was definitely not easy. Unfortunately, no matter how fierce a person was, there was still a limit. And the current Ling Xiaozi had undoubtedly reached this kind of situation.
Therefore, Ling Xiaozi had only escaped for a few hours before he was caught up by Song Zhong. Seeing Ling Xiaozi, who was covered in blood and looked battered and exhausted, but still stood straight and refused to bend, Song Zhong could not help but feel a sense of respect.
However, respect was respect, business was business. He had accepted the employment of the three great sects, so he naturally could not renege on his debt. Therefore, Song Zhong still steered the Cold Ice Fiend Divine Boat to block in front of Ling Xiaozi.
"Senior, please wait!" Song Zhong stopped him and said, "You won't be able to escape today!"
After Ling Xiaozi saw the Cold Ice Fiend Divine Boat, he did not appear to be surprised. Instead, he was abnormally furious. He scolded furiously, "Kid, you're the successor of the Thunder Taoist, right? As the successor of the Disbanded Immortals, you're helping the great sects bully your own people. Kid, you're really promising, huh? Aren't you afraid that after you ascend, you'll be slapped to death by your Master?
