To be fair, Yun Kuohai was an Immortal Cultivator at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage with remarkable computational ability after all. No matter how Li Linghai messed with his mind, he would not completely believe Li Linghai's words and think that Dongfang Sheng's betrayal was fake.
However, Li Linghai's words were mixed with the dark spiritual energy that had been condensed for a thousand years and invaded his brain. It was impossible that he was not affected at all.
Seeing that Dongfang Sheng suddenly charged at him from the side with the "Saber-Toothed Tiger", Yun Kuohai was greatly alarmed. His natural reaction was to condense the flames of spiritual energy around him and release all the attack magical equipment in order to protect the critical parts of his body.
Being chased by "Hellstar", he was already at the highest speed. "Earth Shocker" was a super-heavy Colossus that was too enormous to change directions. Naturally, it was not easy for him to get away from Dongfang Sheng.
Besides, Yun Kuohai did not intend to change his direction, either. At such a high speed, turning recklessly would only further tear apart the broken Colossus and leave a perfect opportunity for Dongfang Sheng to attack. Chances were that "Hellstar" would even catch up with him.
Although Yun Kuohai was 90% sure that Dongfang Sheng was on his side, what if …
No matter what Li Linghai was talking about, there was at least one thing that was absolutely true. The position of Yun Kuohai's bloodline in the Yun family was supported by his unparalleled strength alone. He could not die. If he died, his bloodline would soon decline, and his worthless descendants would not be able to protect the empire that he had built for himself. They might even be killed in the open and secret competitions. It would be no different from the annihilation of his entire family!
Therefore, hundreds of solutions popped up in Yun Kuohai's head. In the end, he gritted his teeth and chose the plan that had the highest odds of survival for him.
That was to keep the speed the same and continue rushing toward Dongfang Sheng who was on his way!
"If Dongfang Sheng is on our side, he will definitely move aside!"
Yun Kuohai thought to himself.
Dongfang Sheng, on the other hand, was greatly shocked by Yun Kuohai's aggressive "assault".
He had been bewildered by the black fog all the time, and the navigation system of the Colossus was almost completely broken. He had wandered in the darkness for a long time without finding the edge of the world fragment or figuring out a way to escape from the terrifying space.
And no matter how he tried to call the others, the communication channel was either filled with rustling noises or sinister laughter that came and went like ghosts.
Dongfang Sheng was already regretting his decision.
He regretted that he had been so reckless. Before he saw through all of Li Linghai's trump cards, he had been persuaded by "Silver Fox" Li Jiande with a few words and ended up in such an awkward situation.
If Li Linghai was not simply "Li Linghai", but rather … "that Majesty", or had inherited the power of "that Majesty", then he had really made the most wrong choice. Even his intestines were green with regret.
It was a pity that he was caught in a dilemma. He had just betrayed Li Linghai and jumped to the side of the four Kurfürst families. Was he going to jump back again after only ten minutes? That would be too —
While he was worrying and thinking, the fog around him suddenly dispersed and glowed. Then, he saw that "Acyclic Earth" Yun Kuohai was lunging at him in "Earth Shocker", which was best known for its toughness, while Li Linghai's "Hellstar" was supporting "Earth Shocker" from the back, as if he were going to attack him from two sides and kill him!
For some reason, Li Linghai's shriek echoed in his ears. "Yun Kuohai, kill the traitor!"
Dongfang Sheng's every nerve ending was so shocked that it almost pierced through his skin and out of his body!
Dongfang Sheng couldn't have been more familiar with "Acyclic Earth" Yun Kuohai's personality and fighting style. The guy seemed to be straightforward and unruly, and the ultimate arts that he practiced were also bold and violent. Although he was in the Divinity Transformation Stage, he was in fact the most shameless and selfish person of all. He was in fact a Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator, but he would not let go of the tiniest benefits or touch the most dangerous things that were as big as needles.
Of course, the Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, especially the battle-type Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivators, were often like that. As the saying went, "There are brave battle-type Immortal Cultivators, and there are battle-type Immortal Cultivators in the Divinity Transformation Stage, but there is absolutely no such thing as a fearless Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator". What was the reason? It was very simple. On a battlefield, weapons and cannons were merciless. The guys who were truly bold and fearless perished one after another after they advanced into the Yuanying stage at best!
It was impossible for the battle-type Immortal Cultivators who had survived a hundred years of bloody battles and even advanced into the Divinity Transformation Stage to not be sordid and sordid in their hearts no matter how manly, tough, and rough they appeared to be.
However, sordidness and sordidness differed in levels. "Acyclic Earth" Yun Kuohai was the king of sordidness and the dominator of sordidness!
If "Devilish Abyss", "Acyclic Earth", and "Star Breaker" were the three experts at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage who would bend to Li Linghai's side under pressure, it would certainly be "Acyclic Earth" Yun Kuohai!
Dongfang Sheng was already feeling guilty in the first place. Besides, his combat ability was much lower than Yun Kuohai's, and he had no time to think at all.
If he thought for one moment longer, his Colossus might've been ripped into halves by Yun Kuohai's "Earth Shocker", and his head would've been smashed into meat paste by Yun Kuohai's iron fists!
Before his brain sorted out his thoughts, his soul and his body had already reacted instinctively. The spiritual shield around his body expanded by three times, and the saber that he had been clenching in his hand unleashed the sharpness of spiritual energy dozens of meters long, pointing at Yun Kuohai!
As a result, if Yun Kuohai did not change his direction, he would've stabbed himself into Dongfang Sheng's saber with his high speed.
Dongfang Sheng's idea was simple and clear. His attack was only the most basic defensive movement. If Yun Kuohai was still on the four Kurfürst families' side, he would've dodged after recognizing his Colossus "Saber-Toothed Tiger" and knowing that he was an ally!
As for why Dongfang Sheng did not move aside himself? The reason was even simpler. It was because Li Linghai's "Hellstar" was distracting him from a distance away. However he moved, he might've exposed his loopholes and been swallowed by "Hellstar"!
From the perspective of self-protection, both parties' battle strategies were perfectly correct.
However, when the two correct battle strategies collided, it became the greatest joke and tragedy.
Dongfang Sheng and Yun Kuohai realized each other's actions at the same time and misunderstood each other's intentions.
Although they were both experts in the Divinity Transformation Stage, Dongfang Sheng's level was slightly lower than Yun Kuohai's, and his combat ability was even lower than the latter's.
However, Yun Kuohai had just fought Li Linghai, and his Colossus "Earth Shocker" had been heavily wounded by "Hellstar". One of its arms had even been blown up, and its performance had plummeted. Such a heavy blow brought their actual combat abilities to the same level.
In other words, both of them posed a fatal threat to each other at this moment, and both of them had a slim chance of survival by taking action first.
The opportunity was fleeting. Life and death would be decided in 0.01 seconds.
When the saber of one of them emitted dazzling brilliance, it was difficult for the other party not to follow the rapid "arms race" and strengthen his own spiritual energy and firepower.
There was no telling who attacked first. Driven by his instincts, Dongfang Sheng's saber slashed forward "naturally", and all the attack magical equipment of Yun Kuohai smashed at Dongfang Sheng's head. BOOM! BOOM!
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
"Earth Shocker" and "Saber-Toothed Tiger", the two Colossi, collided brutally, raising overlapping blasts that looked like surging tides. It was often the case that the second round of blasts caught up with them before the first round of blasts dispersed, forming beautiful rainbows around them.
In the middle of the rainbow blasts, hundreds of interconnected cracks appeared on the shells of the two Colossi. The longest and deepest wound almost penetrated the entire "spiritual residence", or rather, the cockpit. At this point, the two Colossi were like two magnets that were attracted to each other and could not be separated at all.
"Traitor!"
Yun Kuohai roared in fury. He was at the peak of the Divinity Transformation Stage who specialized in battles after all. Although his soul was exhausted and his Colossus had lost an arm, he was still not someone that a fleet commander such as Dongfang Sheng could defeat easily in a duel.
"Earth Shocker" kicked the chest of the "Saber-Toothed Tiger" brutally, almost blowing up the tiger-striped plate armor and the spiritual shield at the same time. In the meantime, the balance system of the "Saber-Toothed Tiger" was disrupted, making the latter stagger in midair. His speed, agility, and dodging abilities were almost reduced to zero. Then, the remaining arm of "Earth Shocker" glowed, and flames of spiritual energy surrounded it, turning the entire arm into a heavy cannon that looked like a battering ram. It was about to smash the broken chest of the "Saber-Toothed Tiger" brutally!
Every unit of the "Saber-Toothed Tiger" was moaning in desperation. Under the overwhelming pressure of the enemy, the cockpit was almost on fire.
Dongfang Sheng's head went blank. Driven by his instincts of brutality, he simply stabbed his saber again without caring about anything.
He had thought that he was going to be killed for sure this time. But out of his expectation, when Yun Kuohai's heavy cannon was halfway to the target, the back of "Earth Shocker" had been pierced through by dozens of tentacles of "Hellstar".
Even the arm that was smashing at the "Saber-Toothed Tiger" brutally was tied up by more than ten tentacles.
Yun Kuohai's punch was concentrated with all his fury. It was unstoppable and ferocious. Even though it was tied up by the metal tentacles, it could not stop his attack. It was not until more than ten metal tentacles were torn apart that the attack was slowed down.
The result of the other dozens of metal tentacles sabotaging the body of "Earth Shocker" was that the spiritual shield around the "Earth Shocker" was immediately gone.
Having no time to think, Dongfang Sheng simply stabbed forward with his burning saber.
Without the protection of the spiritual shield, and the front plate armor of the "Earth Shocker" had been shattered in the collision with "Hellstar" just now. How could it resist Dongfang Sheng's desperate counterattack?
