Boom! A cloud of dust suddenly burst forth from where the grand hall had collapsed. A large red ball with the sounds of battle within it rose to the sky. Yao Yuanchu's panicked voice boomed out, "Help me, quick!"
Whoosh! Another ferocious armored beast charged out from behind. It chased after Miao Yi and pounced towards the red ball.
Bang! The ferocious beast hugged the red ball, shaking its head and tail as it pushed the red ball back into the smoke-filled mountain peak.
"Quick! All Colorful Lotus cultivators in the central army, gather! "
Pei Laiming abruptly turned around and shouted. Even though he had talked things over with Kang and Yao, he didn't think Miao Yi would actually dare to make a move. That was why he only spoke nicely and didn't do as he was told. The reason was simple. If nothing had happened and the central army was so nervous because of Niu Youde, then the subordinates would have no choice but to fear Niu Youde.
However, Yao Yuanchu's cry for help proved that Miao Yi had really made a move.
"Central army, gather!" Wu Feng and Heng Guangling yelled as well.
As soon as the order was given, the central army reacted quickly. Over ten thousand people quickly took up positions outside the defensive formation.
Whoosh! Yang Zhaoqing charged out on his spiritual beast, facing off against the army single-handedly. He waved his spear and shouted, "How dare you! Are you trying to rebel? "
Pei Laiming shouted, "Open the formation immediately, and I will spare your life!"
Yang Zhaoqing bellowed, "Advisor Yang Zhaoqing under the Grand Commander is here. Who in the central army dares to act rashly?!"
Pei Laiming, Wu Feng, and Heng Guangling didn't waste any more words. They couldn't afford to waste any more time. They pointed their weapons at one point and ordered, "Arcane Breaker Bows, ready!"
Over ten thousand people immediately took out their bows and nocked them. The bows and arrows glowed brightly as they all pointed towards a single target.
"Break the formation! Fire!" The three of them waved their hands and gave the order.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! Over a hundred Meteor Arrows suddenly shot out, and with a buzzing sound, they stopped in midair. A huge and slightly silvery transparent net was struck until it was revealed. The surface of the net was glistening with rippling light, and it was currently neutralizing the enormous attack power.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh! A wave of arrows shot out. A second wave followed, followed by a third wave. Only a hundred arrows were shot out each time, but they continued to attack continuously.
They were well aware of the weakness of this defensive formation. If the attacks were concentrated, the formation would have a strong ability to neutralize the attacks. Only by maintaining a certain amount of power and striking a single point would the formation's ability to neutralize the attacks not be able to keep up with the rhythm of the attacks. Once the internal circulation of energy ran out, the formation would naturally collapse.
More than fifty Rainbow Lotus cultivators drew their bows and waited. Once they continued to attack, the color of the Great Array's protective barrier would begin to change. That would be the time for them to shoot. They would destroy the Great Array's protective barrier in one fell swoop.
At this moment, the silvery-white transparent light shield that enveloped the sky above the Six Fingers School was fluctuating incessantly. The situation was extremely precarious.
The disciples of the Six Fingers School, especially Bai Lan and the others, saw this. Niu Youde and the others would not be the only unlucky ones if their defensive formation was breached by the central army. The Six Fingers School would not have a good ending either. Who asked them to stand on Niu Youde's side? It would be futile even if they surrendered. If they had no other choice, they could only order their tens of thousands of disciples to follow Niu Youde and risk their lives. That way, they might still have a chance of survival.
Fortunately, Miao Yi's furious roar suddenly came from the highest peak of the mountain, "What do you think you're doing?"
All the disciples of the Six Fingers School turned to look, only to see a few people rushing out from the mist that pervaded the mountain peak.
Miao Yi was clad in a high-purity red crystal armor and wielded the Inversed-Scales Spear. Riding on a ferocious spiritual beast, he was the first to rush out. The people behind him were also clad in high-purity red crystal armor.
Hai Pingxin followed behind him, carrying the broken black tiger flag on her shoulder. The flag fluttered in the wind. However, the unfurled flag was thirty feet long and twenty feet wide. She was carrying a thick and broken flagpole, which made her look small. However, this girl was still carrying it with vigor and determination. She wanted to protect the person she admired the most in her heart.
The battered and exhausted Yao Yuanchu was carried in Xu Tangran's arms. Kang Zhilu, who had his head lowered, was carried in Yang Qing's arms. The empty-handed Yan Xiu had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. The hole in his clothes on his chest was still there.
Yao Yuanchu and Kang Zhilu's cultivation was higher than Yan Xiu's, but it was only by one level. If they were to fight, they wouldn't be Yan Xiu's match at all. Yan Xiu cultivated the Human and Earth sections of the Yin Soul Yang Art. A gap of one level was nothing to Yan Xiu. This was also the biggest reason why Miao Yi dared to attack. Others might not know Yan Xiu's strength, but Miao Yi was.
But the key was that Miao Yi had to be fast. He had to take down the two of them before the army broke through the defensive array. Otherwise, once the army intervened, it would be no laughing matter. With such a well-equipped group, even if they couldn't win against a Lotus Transformation Cultivator, they could still block them for a while if they joined forces. Even a Lotus Transformation Cultivator would have to avoid ten thousand arrows at once. How could mere Miao Yi and the others withstand it?
In order to not let Kang Zhilu and Yao Yuanchu avoid a direct confrontation and run away to stall for time, Yan Xiu had no choice but to take the risk and take Kang Zhilu's attack first. Afterwards, in order to block Yao Yuanchu, he had to use his lower cultivation to meet force with force. This was why he was injured. Otherwise, Kang Zhilu and Yao Yuanchu wouldn't be Yan Xiu's match even if they joined forces.
At the same time, Miao Yi had also taken the risk and faced Yao Yuanchu head-on. If Indestructible was unable to unleash its intended effect, then Miao Yi would be in danger as well. However, he still dared to take the risk. It was precisely because he dared to do so that he succeeded!
Fei Hong and the rest of the womenfolk hovered in midair as they watched this scene unfold. Seeing that Miao Yi and the others had succeeded, they were both surprised and delighted. Naturally, they were happy that Miao Yi and the others were safe and sound and had succeeded. But they were shocked at how they were going to get past this hurdle. Even if they could summon the men from the Six Fingers School to attack together, they definitely wouldn't be able to stop the charge of the central army. There were more than fifty Radiance Lotus Cultivators on their side!
Xu Tangran, who had forced himself to come along, saw the formation of the army surrounding them. His back was drenched in cold sweat, and his legs were a little weak. Yang Qing was already mentally prepared, worried that Miao Yi would act recklessly, but Xu Tangran really didn't see it coming at all. He really didn't expect the Grand Commander to do something like this. Damn it, he was playing with his life!
No matter how stupid Xu Tangran was now, he could tell that the plan had already been in motion from the moment the central army was sent away from the defensive array. The Grand Commander was already prepared to make a move against Kang Zhilu and Yao Yuanchu. The reason he sent the central army away was to divert the reinforcements from those two bastards. How could he do something so dangerous without even informing him? How scary!
But he had no other choice! He had already boarded the pirate ship. If he didn't follow along, not only would Miao Yi not let him go, the Black Tiger Banner wouldn't let him go either. He could only follow Miao Yi to the end.
The only person he could rely on on here was the one beside him. Xu Tangran subconsciously looked at Yan Xiu, who had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He felt a chill run down his spine. He really didn't expect this sinister bastard to be so strong. 'Oh my god, those claws were actually able to pierce through the Amethyst Battle Armor with his bare hands. Just how sharp are they?'
However, Miao Yi had already instructed Yan Xiu not to tell anyone about what happened today.
As soon as the Black Tiger Banner appeared, it attracted everyone's attention. It was still a little intimidating. After all, everyone had served under this banner for many years. Under the accumulation of power, this banner represented the supreme authority of the Black Tiger Banner! As a result, the surging light on the defensive barrier gradually became less intense. The central army gradually stopped their attacks. When one person stopped, the others stopped, and when one group stopped, it caused everyone else to stop as well.
This wasn't just because of the appearance of the Black Tiger Banner. More importantly, Kang and Yao had been defeated and had already been captured by Grand Commander Niu Youde!
The three Deputy Generals Pei, Wu, and Heng, who were overseeing the battle from above, were shocked when they saw this. They were about to break through, so why did they stop? Pei Laiming looked down and roared, "Why did you stop?! Attack! Hurry up and save the two Vice Commanders! "
"Who dares to spout such nonsense!?" Miao Yi roared. He didn't recognize Pei, Wu, and Heng, but he could already guess their identities. He loudly announced his identity, "I am the Grand Commander of the Black Tiger Banner, Niu Youde. Today, the two Vice Commanders under my banner, Kang Zhilu and Yao Yuanchu, have rebelled in an attempt to usurp the authority of the Black Tiger Banner. I have specially captured them to serve as a warning to others! The Middle Army is directly under this Grand Commander's command, and they only listen to this Grand Commander's orders. Those three arrogant fellows are definitely not from my Middle Army. Who is it that dares to be so impudent here? "He pointed his spear at the three people.
The meaning behind his words was, 'The central army is my men. How dare they try to snatch criminals from my hands? What a joke!'
Kang and Yao both had bitter expressions on their faces. They finally understood what it felt like to be in the wrong. They had been captured, and Miao Yi was the one who had the final say in the matter. The two of them were now filled with regret. They didn't think Miao Yi would be so bold as to really make a move against them. If they knew this would happen, they would have listened to Pei Laiming's advice and brought more men with them. That way, they wouldn't have ended up like this.
Many of the people in the central army looked at each other with a strange look in their eyes. The Grand Commander's words were equivalent to directly kicking the three Deputy Generals out of the central army, creating another three positions!
'What a sharp tongue!' Pei, Wu, and Heng were a little anxious. Wu Feng angrily said, "Niu Youde, you are siding with the outsiders. You kicked our brothers in the central army out of their comfort zone and threw them into the wilderness. You only cared about enjoying yourself and never treated our brothers as your own. Now, you even want to pin the crime on the two Vice Commanders. The Black Tiger Banner doesn't have a Grand Commander like you. Niu Youde, release the two Vice Commanders immediately. If your words are unpleasant to the ear, don't blame us for remonstrating! "
Pei and Heng also loudly agreed, "Release the two Vice Commanders immediately!"
The three of them were really anxious. Kang and Yao were very important to the three of them. Once the two of them died, even if the Ten Eagle Flags managed to topple Niu Youde, the position of Black Tiger Flag's Grand Commander would not be theirs. If it was someone else, no one would like to see the three of them in the central army. If the central army betrayed their leader, wouldn't that be unacceptable? Anyone who came would want to kick the three of them out. More importantly, once Kang and Yao died, the central army would no longer have a backbone. If Miao Yi tried to win them over with kind words and made a wish, it would be a problem if the Ten Eagle Banners would continue fighting. Once Niu Youde gained control of the military, the three of them would only face death!
