Bai Wuxue's words immediately stirred up the hot-bloodedness of the people behind him. They all activated the Heavenly Sage Laws in their bodies and charged forward together with Bai Wuxue.
Under the lead of the twenty elite Martial Sages, the patrolling Demonic Corpses in the way crumbled upon contact. Bai Wuxue led the charge. He could not last even one exchange with his palm. The Demonic Corpses fell in droves.
When they arrived at the center of the island, Bai Wuxue suddenly stopped. His expression changed slightly as he said, "What's wrong? Along the way, all we saw were Corpse Race Demonic Corpses. We did not see a single Corpse Race cultivator."
The others only cared about killing. Furthermore, Bai Wuxue's earlier words provoked them, so they did not feel any burden in their hearts. They all thought that this Heavenly Wind Island was already a dead island.
Now that they heard Bai Wuxue's reminder, they could not help but think about it. This was indeed the case.
"That's right. Why is there not a single Corpse Race cultivator?"
"Don't tell me they're all hiding? That would be too boring."
Bai Wuxue thought for a while. Then, his expression changed. He said, "Quick, let's go. We have been exposed. We have fallen into an ambush."
Seeing that the others had not reacted yet, Bai Wuxue got up and retreated without any care, deciding to leave first.
Along the way, they did not see a single Corpse Race cultivator, letting them kill the Demonic Corpses. Clearly, the Corpse Race wanted to lure them to the center of the island. If this was not an ambush, what else could it be?
However, Bai Wuxue could not figure out how the news got out. Furthermore, the Corpse Race even made arrangements in advance.
"Bai Wuxue, why are you thinking of leaving now? Weren't you saying earlier that you were going to sweep through Heavenly Wind Island?"
A figure appeared in front of Bai Wuxue in the night sky, blocking his way. Death Qi surged out as this person threw a palm strike at the retreating Bai Wuxue.
"The Underworld Fire Sovereign's descendant, Wei Hua?" When Bai Wuxue saw the appearance of this person, his heart could not help but sink. This time, things might have gone too far. Unexpectedly, even Wei Hua came.
The two's palm strikes collided, and they both moved back a hundred steps. Bai Wuxue did not have time to scatter the Death Qi circulating in his palm. Another person appeared in the air. Without giving Bai Wuxue a chance to catch his breath, this person sent him back to the Black Monarch Island group with a palm strike.
The person who attacked was Wang Can, who had come with Wei Hua. Although Wang Can was weaker than Bai Wuxue, he was more than enough to work with Wei Hua.
"Peng, peng, peng," the Luminous Stones rose into the air, and the bright light exploded bit by bit, illuminating the entire sky, making it as bright as daytime.
Xiao Chen saw four Superior Grade Martial Sages leading large groups of Corpse Race cultivators, Medial Grade Martial Sages, Inferior Grade Martial Sages, and horrifying Demonic Corpses surrounding the group.
In the sky, there were three King Grade Warships of the Corpse Race. All of them were refined from the corpses of powerful flood dragons. Their mouths contained a terrifying Death Qi, and their blood-red eyes were incomparably frightening.
When the two Vice Island Masters of Black Monarch Island — Bai Wuxue, Ximen Bao, and the group of peak Medial Grade Martial Sages — saw this lineup, they were all frightened silly. Their faces turned ashen. This lineup was practically the entire Corpse Race army moving out.
"What's going on? Wasn't this a sneak attack? How did we end up like turtles in a jar? Bai Wuxue, what's going on?!"
The two Vice Island Masters felt very anxious. They were both startled and furious. With such a lineup, how could they survive? Bai Wuxue had done them in.
Horror filled Ximen Bao's eyes. At this moment, he had completely lost his mind. He said in a trembling voice, "Bai Wuxue, what should we do? There are so many Corpse Race experts and three King Grade warships. We are dead for sure."
With Emperor Wu holding down the fort, the Ximen Clan would definitely have some means to protect themselves. However, Ximen Bao thought to himself that in such a situation, the Secret Treasures they had to protect themselves would not be enough.
Bai Wuxue was someone who had seen such a scene before. After a flustered expression, he calmed down and said, "Your great-grandfather is Emperor Wu, after all. This Wei Hua will not kill you. At most, he will imprison you and extort some money from your great-grandfather."
When Ximen Bao heard this, his expression could not help but turn even more unsightly. He was an outstanding talent, yet he had become a prisoner of the battlefield. To him, this was even worse than death.
"As for the two Vice Island Masters, haha! If this Bai is not wrong, the Black Monarch Island's Island Master leaked the news. You can't blame this Bai for this."
The faces of the two Vice Island Masters sank. They said in unison, "That's impossible. The Island Master's son died at the hands of the Corpse Race. How could he betray the enemy? He was the first to approve of your plan."
Bai Wuxue thought, Could there be an even higher-ranked spy? However, after thinking about it, he revealed a bitter smile. So what if it was? So what if it wasn't? Today, he, Bai Wuxue, was at his wit's end.
"Cripple yourselves and surrender. I will give you a chance to live. Otherwise, all of you will die, consigned to eternal damnation," Wei Hua said sullenly with a grave and stern expression.
Wei Hua's expression turned grave and stern as he spoke in a deep voice. Immediately, all the Corpse Race cultivators shouted, "Cripple yourselves and surrender yourselves." Their voices were like the waves of the sea, resounding in all directions without end.
Before these voices, the morale of the elite Martial Sages of Black Monarch Island plummeted. They felt that there was no way out. They did not even have the courage to fight.
Become a prisoner?
When Bai Wuxue thought of this, he revealed a determined expression. If he really became a prisoner, then he would just end his own life.
"Leave from the east. I'll make an opening for you. Whether you can escape or not will depend on your luck." Bai Wuxue glanced at the four Superior Grade Martial Sages guarding the east. However, he did not feel confident at all.
Under the illumination of the Night Light Stones, the island was as bright as day. Wei Hua could clearly see the expressions of this group of people. They all had expressions of victory in their grasp.
After killing this group of people, Black Monarch Island would be completely defenseless. After that, they would launch a night attack and break through the final line of defense. Then, together with the Muddy Sky Gate, they would launch a pincer attack on Bushin Palace's headquarters. With the Corpse Refining Pool, Dragon Wood Star's fall was only a matter of time.
As Wei Hua expected, everything was within his control. He felt very smug as he waved his hand, preparing to give the order to attack.
The strong elite team was at least a Medial Grade Martial Sage. They should have boundless combat prowess and be able to hold their own. Now that they had lost all their fighting spirit, their faces ashen. They felt that there was nothing they could do to reverse the situation. No matter what, they could not avoid death.
"Rumble …!"
Just at this moment, startling cries rang out from the east of the encirclement. A team of twenty people, led by a white figure, charged forward. Unexpectedly, no one in the Corpse Race could stop them.
Under the light of the Night Light Stones, that white figure looked very bright. When he attacked, the hum of a powerful saber resounded.
His entire body radiated a sharp light, and a purple Lightning Talisman floated above his head. Four beams of golden light flowed on the Lightning Talisman. Occasionally, it released beams of golden light. No one could stop him for even a moment.
Behind him were twenty-odd youths of the younger generation. Compared to Bai Wuxue's elite team, they were much weaker. However, all of them were full of fighting spirit. No matter who it was, they attacked ferociously, not showing any intention of retreating. They burst forth with startling combat prowess.
Under the lead of that white figure, this team miraculously tore a hole in the encirclement in an instant.
Xiao Chen knocked back four Superior Grade Martial Sages with one punch, one after another. He did not give them a chance to work together at all. As their hair fluttered, their white robes were dyed red with blood.
"Brother Wei Hua, it's been two years. We meet again."
The Myriad Heaven Divine Fist's Distant Legend merged Vital Qi, Magic Energy, and Quintessence to knock back a Superior Grade Martial Sage of the Corpse Race.
Xiao Chen stood firmly and looked calmly at the Underworld Fire Sovereign's descendant, Wei Hua.
Sagely music lingered in all directions, singing the legends of Xiao Chen. As the golden light shone down, Xiao Chen looked like a celestial being in the night sky, causing everyone to look up at him in amazement.
Wei Hua's thoughts turned chaotic for a moment. Why did Xiao Chen come to this Heavenly Wind Island at this time?
Wei Hua was not the only one who could not figure it out. Bai Wuxue and the others, who originally thought that they could not reverse the situation, were shocked when they saw Xiao Chen, who was like a divine soldier descending from heaven.
"Bai Wuxue, Ximen Bao, if you do not leave now, when will you?!"
When Xiao Chen saw the stunned Bai Wuxue, Ximen Bao, and the elite Martial Sages, he could not help but shout, his voice booming like thunder.
The group of people seemed to wake up from a dream. They quickly headed in Xiao Chen's direction, using their clones to charge over.
Wei Hua reacted. His expression turned frosty as he said coldly, "Good timing. We can deal with them all in one go. All Corpse Race cultivators, heed my orders. Surround them and kill them all. Do not leave a single one alive."
"Haha! Deal with them all in one go? Naturally, the people that I, Xiao Chen, want to save cannot be left behind. Let's see how you, Wei Hua, are going to deal with them all in one go. "
Xiao Chen fought the four Superior Grade Martial Sages of the Corpse Race alone. Then, he opened his mouth and spat out the Dragon's Gate's warship. "Haotian Sect disciples, board the Dragon's Gate's warship. Jin Lin, Xiao Xian, and Liu Ke, the three of you drive the warship to receive them. I will bring up the rear."
Looking at the dense, tide-like Corpse Race army closing in from all directions, Xiao Chen felt a chill run down his spine.
Xiao Chen's white robes fluttered as he stood firmly on high ground. His heart was calm, and his thoughts were clear.
Jin Lin's group of three was very familiar with the Dragon's Gate's warship. When they came to Dragon Wood Star, a group of curious juniors had turned the Dragon's Gate's warship upside down.
The warship flew quickly, instantly pushing through the crowd and arriving before Bai Wuxue and the others. When these people saw the Dragon's Gate's warship, they rejoiced and leaped onto it.
Seeing that all twenty people had leaped onto the warship, Jin Lin immediately controlled the Dragon's Gate's warship to soar into the sky. However, three Corpse Race King grade warships blocked it.
"Xiao Xian, control the cannons and the propulsion arrows. The rest of you, do your best to maintain the Dragon's Gate's warship's protective barrier. Come and play with these three stinky dragons. Let's show them what it means to suppress a group of kings."
Jin Lin laughed loudly. He did not fear the three Corpse Race King grade warships blocking his way. The other Haotian Sect disciples on the warship also ran around enthusiastically.
When Bai Wuxue and the others saw this scene, they all felt deeply confused. How could this group of people have such high morale?
When Xiao Chen, who was on the ground, saw the Dragon's Gate's warship rise into the air, he smiled faintly and relaxed, focusing on the situation before him.
