In the boundless starry sky, such a vast 'cloud' spun rapidly. Coupled with the occasional reflection of the dust particles, it was a spectacular sight. The visual impact was indescribable. But for the million-strong army that managed to escape, they still felt a lingering fear when they looked back.
Baili Feng and Huan Wubian felt their hairs stand on end. They were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a moment. Due to the sudden change, only about a million of the ten million soldiers managed to retreat. If the remaining nine million died inside, no matter what the reason was, the two of them would not be able to escape the charge of improper command.
"Lieutenant Commander!" One of the commanders that managed to escape from the Chaotic Astral Sea returned. He turned around with a face full of shame, cupping his fists and apologizing, "I am useless. I retreated without orders. I am willing to accept my punishment!"
This was a subordinate of the Right Warden. Huan Wubian, who was in charge of the Right Warden's troops, waved his hand, gesturing for him to step aside. He had no intention of holding him accountable, and it was impossible to do so. Such a huge incident was not something he could take responsibility for. It was already a merit for him to be able to retreat a million troops in time.
Before this, Gou Ze had already sent a message, saying that they had encountered some strange people. He had also received a message from the Chaotic Astral Sea, indicating that someone was up to no good.
The biggest problem now was not whether someone was up to no good, but what about the nine million troops. They had thought that they would be able to accurately determine the direction of entry and exit, but now it was all a mess. The news from inside indicated that they couldn't even tell north from south.
Looking at the vast 'cloud' spinning, it was truly a raging storm. Baili Feng and Huan Wubian's palms were sweating. They couldn't imagine who could control such a huge scene. They didn't know how to report this to their superiors.
But they had no choice but to report it. They could only brace themselves and report it …
"Grand Commander!"
A voice transmission rang beside her ear. Zhan Ruyi, who was swept away by the wind, quickly turned around to see her trusted subordinate, Kang Daoping, swept away by the astral winds. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared. Zhan Ruyi was both shocked and anxious. But she couldn't even protect herself, so how could she care about others?
Regret! The fear on Zhan Rui's face was mixed with endless regret. She hated herself for letting her emotions get the better of her and arguing with Miao Yi. She also hated that Miao Yi was a bastard who dragged her into this mess. This time, she really didn't know what was good for her.
The Black Tiger Banner's troops were scattered. As of now, there were only a few dozen people who were tightly attached to each other, fluttering chaotically like catkins in the wind. Fortunately, after Charcoal had evolved, he was born with the ability to control the wind and clouds. Although the strong winds were strong, Charcoal's skin was thick enough to withstand them. At the same time, he gradually found a way to ride the wind.
The group of people who were involved gradually calmed down. Charcoal shook its head and wagged its tail, darting in and out of the strong gales. Miao Yi rejoiced endlessly. From the looks of it now, he would have to rely on Charcoal's ability to escape. However, with dozens of people linked together, the resistance created by the strong winds was too great, and the impact on Charcoal was not small.
The most troublesome thing was that within the howling gale, gigantic white spirits kept appearing out of nowhere and colliding with him.
The attacks were relentless. In a moment of desperation, Charcoal suddenly dived down to avoid an attack. Seeing that he was in danger again and again, Yan Xiu finally couldn't help but shout with a sharp voice, "Milord, quickly enter your humble servant's beast sack. Your humble servant and Charcoal will see if we can rush out." His cultivation was higher than Miao Yi's. On top of that, Miao Yi had used the Heaven's Eye earlier and had consumed quite a bit of transcendence energy. He and Charcoal could be considered old acquaintances, so he could give it a try.
Unexpectedly, Miao Yi shouted, "If everyone stays together, it will affect the fat thief's speed too much. Put everyone into the beast sack."
The remaining few dozen people were quickly gathered by Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing into the beast sack. In the end, Yan Xiu shouted at Miao Yi, "Milord, quickly enter the beast sack."
However, Miao Yi shook his head and refused to enter. He naturally had a reason to refuse. "Without the help of my Heaven's Eye, you won't be able to find your way. With these words, he opened his Heaven Eye again and quickly scanned the surroundings.
Yan Xiu and Yang Zhaoqing could only ride together, and the three of them rode on Charcoal's back. As for Charcoal, without the support of a few dozen people, he was able to move his head and tail amidst the violent astral winds. As expected, his speed was much faster and more nimble.
Miao Yi found an opening with his Heaven Eye and quickly pointed his finger at it, instructing Charcoal to take advantage of the white specters' attacks and quickly escape.
However, the atmosphere around them was becoming more and more strange. The three of them could feel the intense friction between the dust particles gradually accumulating a huge amount of energy, giving them the feeling that it would explode at any moment. The three of them were still being cautious, but just as they expected, a thunderbolt flashed across the swirling dust gale, followed by more and more thunderbolts. Countless thunderbolts swept across the sky, and thunderous booms resounded ceaselessly.
Outside the central command tent, Baili Feng and Huan Wubian's expressions became increasingly grim when they saw the incessant flashes of lightning appearing within the swirling Misty Astral Sea. They were afraid that the nine million troops inside would be in grave danger.
Gou Ze and the others were chasing after the white-haired woman relentlessly. It seemed like the white-haired woman was intentionally toying with them.
When the lightning bolts began to flicker, the white-haired woman finally turned around and revealed a sinister smile to the ten of them.
Gou Ze and the others quickly stopped and looked around in shock!
Before they could even make any preparations, the concentrated lightning bolts were already furiously striking at them. They brandished their weapons to block them, but it was useless. The more they tried to block, the more unlucky they became. Their weapons could guide electricity, and they were all electrocuted on the spot, unable to hold on for long.
Meanwhile, Charcoal was like a fish in water amidst the chaotic storm of lightning. He wasn't afraid of the lightning at all. Following Miao Yi's instructions, he shook his head and wagged his tail as he tunneled through the storm, like a divine creature. Yang Zhaoqing wasn't at a disadvantage either. He spread his arms and claws apart, and two balls of lightning were rolling around in his palms. Before the lightning could even strike Charcoal, the arcs of electricity would change direction, and the powerful lightning would be sucked into his claws.
But this was not the end of it. Yang Zhaoqing immediately waved his palm to meet the gigantic white specter that broke through the wind and clouds. The thunderbolt that he directed instantly turned into a thunderbolt light. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, and it flew out like a thunderbolt flying sword.
He had been cultivating the Human and Earth Divisions of the Nine Heavens all this time, and had always kept a low profile. This time, he finally had the chance to show off his skills.
Boom! The white specter that was charging at him was immediately blasted into pieces by the ferocious lightning Yang Zhaoqing threw out, exploding into white dust. Amidst the dust, the white specter's true form was revealed. It was a humanoid figure the size of a baby, and a wriggling liquid that glowed like water jade. Yang Zhaoqing waved his hand again, and another bolt of lightning shot out, directly blasting the white specter's true form, which was the wriggling liquid that glowed with light.
Reality proved that it wasn't that the white specters weren't afraid of lightning. Instead, it was that within this domain, the white specters seemed to be able to predict where the energy was coming from. They were able to gather lightning and avoid it in advance. However, they couldn't avoid Yang Zhaoqing's deliberate attacks with his lightning, because they couldn't predict when Yang Zhaoqing would make his move.
At this moment, Yang Zhaoqing was truly awe-inspiring. One bolt of lightning after another left his hand, and he had an imposing aura that could kill anything in his way. Standing on Charcoal's body, he was unstoppable. He went on a killing spree, as though he didn't know what fatigue was. In just a short while, at least a thousand specters had been blasted back into oblivion by him.
Miao Yi and Yan Xiu gasped at the sight. They didn't expect Yang Zhaoqing to be this powerful after cultivating the Human and Earth Divisions' Nine Heavens cultivation arts. However, the two of them quickly understood that it wasn't that Yang Zhaoqing's strength had reached such a terrifying level. Instead, it was because Yang Zhaoqing was borrowing the momentum. The stronger the lightning within the 'wind and clouds', the more powerful the lightning attacks Yang Zhaoqing could borrow. It wasn't that Yang Zhaoqing had an endless supply of lightning.
Seeing this, Miao Yi was overjoyed. He was even more confident that he could escape now. Scanning his surroundings with his Heaven's Eye, he brandished the Inversed-Scales Spear and pointed it at Charcoal. "Go to the front right!"
Charcoal immediately obeyed. He quickly shook his head and wagged his tail, riding the wind to the front right.
Meanwhile, Yan Xiu sat in between Miao Yi and Yang Zhaoqing. He grabbed onto their belts with one hand, and since his cultivation was the highest among the three of them, he desperately linked the two of them to Charcoal's body. This way, they could focus on unleashing their respective attacks.
"Hehe … hehe …" The white-haired lady threw her head back and laughed heartily.
She barely made a move, but Gou Ze and the others had already gone limp. Each of them had been electrocuted black, their bodies twitching as they floated in the starry sky. They had been forcefully struck by the countless lightning bolts.
As she finished laughing, the white-haired lady made her move. None of Gou Ze and the others were spared. They were all captured alive by her.
Suddenly, a white-haired boy flew out from the 'wind and clouds'. As he approached, he wiped away his tears and whimpered, "My Lord, someone has killed over a thousand of our brothers and sisters."
The white-haired lady's eyes immediately widened. She shouted, "Who did this? Is Master Qing here? "Judging from her expression, she seemed to be a little afraid of Master Qing.
Soon after, the white-haired lady arrived at the scene of the incident and finally understood what had happened. She had personally witnessed Yang Zhaoqing, one of the three partners, unleashing his invincible might and slaughtering her subordinates. No one could stop him at all.
Seeing that the three partners were fearless of the lightning bolts and were running away so quickly, the white-haired lady's expression darkened. How could she let Miao Yi and the others escape? She spread her arms wide, as though praying to the heavens.
In an instant, white dust continuously flew out from the swirling 'wind and clouds' and quickly formed into two jade dragons that were several hundred zhang long. Giant dragons!
Boom! The giant dragons bathed in lightning suddenly emerged from the violent winds and brazenly charged towards the three partners.
The three of them were startled by the sudden appearance of this thing. Yang Zhaoqing pushed both his arms forward, and a frenzied barrage of lightning shot towards the giant dragons like a barrage of cannons, causing them to explode bit by bit. However, what the three of them didn't expect was for another giant dragon to suddenly charge out from behind them. It was incredibly fast, and Yang Zhaoqing was instantly overwhelmed.
Boom! The three of them violently spat out a mouthful of blood towards the sky. They were finally scattered and had no strength to retaliate.
In the void, four gigantic jade-like hands descended from the sky and grabbed each of them. Even Charcoal wasn't spared as all of them were caught. Each of them was almost squashed into a meat patty as they were dragged before the white-haired lady.
When the three of them, who were pinched to the point where they couldn't move, saw this white-haired lady, they felt a little hopeless. They didn't even have the strength to retaliate against her. It was probably impossible for them to escape now.
