The three half-step Martial Monarchs were at the very front. As long as they held on for a while longer, they would be able to escape the range of the cannons.
What made Xiao Chen flabbergasted was Bai Lixi. This fellow relied on his strong physical body and the five or six defensive Secret Treasures he had.
Bai Lixi completely ignored the bombardment of the cannons and endured a few attacks. Unexpectedly, he managed to walk in front of everyone.
Xiao Chen's chest tightened. If these people walked out, the remaining cannons would focus on them. The situation would become even more dire.
I cannot drag this out. I have to use all my trump cards. Otherwise, I will not even have a chance to use them.
After Xiao Chen made up his mind, he no longer hesitated. The silver warship came out from his right eye, and Xiao Chen quickly hid in the hold of the silver warship. "Bang!
Bang! "
In an instant, a few beams of light struck the body of the silver warship, causing it to tumble uncontrollably in the air. Xiao Chen quickly lowered his feet and stabilized the direction of the warship. Then, he quickly flew to the west.
With the warship as a buffer, Xiao Chen did not have to worry too much. He no longer had to dodge, and his speed increased significantly.
However, the warship did not have any defensive formations. Soon, cracks appeared on it.
Xiao Chen ignored the cracks on the warship and charged forward with all his might.
The Blood Flame Shoes on Xiao Chen's feet glowed; he could use the Secret Technique at any time.
"Bang!"
Finally, the silver warship could no longer hold on. It shattered into countless motes of light and returned to Xiao Chen's right eye.
Xiao Chen did not panic. The instant the warship shattered, he activated the Secret Technique of the Blood Flame Shoes. His speed immediately reached Mach 4.
Xiao Chen turned into a beam of purple light and moved far away in the blink of an eye, leaving the beams of light behind him.
He was still five hundred meters away from the range of the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons. However, he had attracted too much attention.
Furthermore, the half-step Martial Monarchs had already fled. The next wave of attacks would be even more ferocious than before.
I'm going all out!
Xiao Chen's expression turned serious. He placed his right hand on the hilt of his saber and closed his eyes. With the sweep of his Divine Sense, he "saw" the light beams coming from all directions.
Xiao Chen's mind, energy, and spirit gathered into a line. The state of thunder and saber intent brewed silently.
"Break!" Xiao Chen suddenly opened his eyes and shouted. The Lunar Shadow Saber turned into a bolt of lightning as he drew it.
It was like Xiao Chen had eyes on the back of his head. He sent out twelve saber Qi containing boundless saber intent and the state of thunder, clashing with the resplendent pillar of light.
Bang, bang, bang!
Intense explosions rang out continuously in the void. As the shockwaves surged, even space itself began to ripple.
For the twelve strands of saber Qi, Xiao Chen exhausted three-quarters of his Essence. This was the strongest he could burst out with in one breath.
After Xiao Chen swung his saber twelve times, he felt like he was about to collapse. Sweat appeared on his forehead. However, he managed to block the nine peerless beams of light.
On the deck, Jian Chenan watched the white figure break the nine Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons. He had an astonished expression on his face.
This was the first time Jian Chenan saw a youth erupt with such strength in such a short time.
Even some of the older-generation cultivators would find it hard to do so. No matter how dense one's Essence was, if one's explosive power was not strong, it would be hard to say who would win in a real fight.
When Jian Chenan saw that Xiao Chen had already escaped the range of the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons, he asked the cultivators from the Tianwu Continent, "Who is this person? Do you know him?"
"He seems to be the Great Qin Nation's White Robed Bladesman. However, it is not him. It is hard to be sure," someone whispered.
The White Robed Bladesman, Jian Chenan frowned. He shook his head and said, "I hope he is just an ordinary genius. Otherwise, if we let him go, we will be in big trouble."
Surging seawater stretched as far as the eye could see. Xiao Chen sat cross-legged on the surface of the water, following the waves as they surged forward.
He held four Medial Grade Spirit Stones in his hand as he quickly recovered his Essence. He had exhausted too much of his Essence.
If he did not replenish it quickly, he might end up in the stomachs of the fish in this seemingly peaceful Boundless Sea.
After one hour, the four Medial Grade Spirit Stones were completely exhausted. Xiao Chen's Essence barely recovered by half. However, this was enough to protect himself.
Xiao Chen casually tossed aside the Spirit Stones and looked into the sea. The deep seawater could not obstruct his vision.
At a depth of more than a hundred meters, Xiao Chen saw a strange black fish. It was about the size of a palm and covered in sharp scales.
There were so many of them that it was flabbergasting. With a rough count, there were at least a thousand of them. No wonder Sun Guangquan had instructed him not to sink to the bottom of the sea no matter what.
If he did that, he would be able to avoid the attacks of the Ancient Demonic Energy Cannons. However, if he were to face the attacks of thousands of these strange fish, he would die even faster.
Xiao Chen stood up and looked around. The earlier rush had already separated him from Bai Lixi and Sun Guangquan.
Xiao Chen withdrew his gaze and discovered something that was somewhat difficult to deal with. Above the vast sea, the scenery was exactly the same everywhere.
No matter which direction he looked from, it was all the same — endless seawater.
The sky was dark again. He could not see the sun or anything to use as a point of reference. He had no way of determining his direction.
Xiao Chen revealed a helpless smile. He had already survived through wind and rain. Unexpectedly, he was stumped by such a small problem.
Since he did not know the direction, he should not move around randomly. Otherwise, he might end up getting more and more wrong. He should be able to determine his direction by looking at the stars at night.
However, it was only a matter of a few hours. There was no need to panic. He would wait for a while.
Since there was nothing to do, there was no need to waste time. Xiao Chen drew his Lunar Shadow Saber and quietly practiced the Four Season Saber Technique on the surface of the sea.
The Four Season Saber Technique had only five moves: Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, and Cycle of Seasons.
However, each move was ever-changing. There was nothing special about it; it depended on one's control. Xiao Chen infused the various scenes of Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter into his Saber Techniques, forming his own unique mysterious phenomenon.
For example, Bai Shuihe comprehended the scene of spring's water turning from warm to cold. The corresponding scene was water.
However, the scene that Xiao Chen comprehended in spring was thunder. The first thunder of spring, the cries of ten thousand beasts.
In Xiao Chen's original world, the people called the first thunder of spring spring, Spring Thunder.
During the long, cold winter, all the beasts of the world would enter hibernation. This Spring Thunder was the bell that woke them up.
As the thunder roared, the lifeless winter was silent for a long time. The cries of hundreds of beasts announced the arrival of spring.
This was the state of Xiao Chen's Saber Technique. It took the meaning of Spring Thunder and commanded all the beasts in the world to cry. Winter passed and spring came. The cycle of heaven and earth was unstoppable!
As for summer, autumn, and winter, Xiao Chen was still pondering them. He did not have a clear idea.
Sun Guangquan had also given him a lot of advice, broadening his thinking and making him more cautious.
On the calm surface of the water, Xiao Chen continuously perfected this move. However, every time he was about to explode, he would stop.
This was because Xiao Chen felt that something was missing. If he just exploded out like this, he would not be able to achieve the effect he wanted.
Just like that, Xiao Chen tirelessly practiced on the surface of the sea. As he swung his saber, he would always stop at the last moment and start again from the beginning.
This repeated countless times. Without realizing it, Xiao Chen completely immersed himself in the Saber Technique.
Xiao Chen forgot where he was and his purpose in coming here. He even forgot who he was. There was only this saber in his mind.
Xiao Chen did not know that a pretty black figure was watching with interest from a kilometer behind him for a long time.
However, after a while, that woman watched as Xiao Chen's exquisite Saber Technique always got stuck at the last moment and had to start over again, repeating this process over and over again.
She felt extremely depressed. Such an exquisite Saber Technique had attracted her attention at first glance. She wanted to see how earth-shattering it would be at the final moment when it erupted.
However, this guy in front of him was extremely brainless. Every time when the audience was most excited, he would get stuck and start all over again.
This happened over and over again. Finally, that person could no longer hold back her anger. "Speaking of which, can't you just erupt a little? Every time you get stuck at the most crucial moment, it makes me very unhappy. Do you know that?"
The sudden voice startled Xiao Chen out of his trance-like state. He sheathed his saber and turned his head to look. He discovered that Shi Feng had arrived behind him at some point in time.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I want to erupt as well. However, I still lack inspiration. If I force it, there will be a huge flaw in this move."
The Four Season Saber Technique was very different from regular Martial Techniques. It focused on the intent; the form was secondary.
If one forced it out, the intent would not be complete. The might of the Saber Technique would be greatly reduced. Once it was fixed, it would be very difficult to change.
Spring, Summer, Autumn, and Winter were all linked together. If the first link was not grasped well, it would severely affect the next three links.
Hence, this First Spring Thunder, Ten Thousand Beasts Cry Together had to be completed in one breath, allowing it to reach its most perfect moment before erupting.
The masked Shi Feng said, "In that case, you are really extraordinarily bored. Since you know that the inspiration has not arrived, why are you still standing here like a fool? Why are you not rushing to meet up with the Divine Dragon Palace's people?"
Xiao Chen shrugged his shoulders and said, "I'm lost and cannot find my way. I can only wait until it is dark before making my move. In any case, I have nothing better to do."
Shi Feng shook her head and said, "I really don't know what you are thinking. To think that you did not even make such preparations before coming to the Boundless Sea. The waves are very strong at night. Come with me; I have a tracking tool. "
This was somewhat surprising. He had not expected Shi Feng to be so easy to talk to. Xiao Chen thanked her.
Xiao Chen followed behind her, heading west on the calm sea.
Along the way, Xiao Chen took some time to ask, "I have been very curious. Who taught you the Nine Secrets of Qingyun Peak? Those are the secrets of the Heavenly Saber Pavilion's Qingyun Peak."
When Shi Feng heard this, she paused for a moment. Then, she said, "My adoptive father taught me. However, he did not say that they were the Nine Secrets of Qingyun Peak. This is the first time I heard you mention them."
Xiao Chen thought of a possibility that he had guessed before. He continued asking, "Is your adoptive father called Leng Tianhe?"
Shi Feng stopped and turned her head back. Her eyes filled with doubt as she asked, "How did you know?"
Indeed, Xiao Chen guessed right. Aside from the Pavilion Master's faction, no one from the other peaks could learn the Nine Secrets of Qingyun Peak.
