There were people frantically attacking him from the left and right, and the winged cavalry charging at him from the front. His dragon steed couldn't possibly retreat and run.
Abruptly, Su Biao pushed his transcendence energy to the limit. Brandishing his spear, he swept it left and right, knocking away Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan's consecutive attacks with a loud clang. Then, he took the opportunity to cleave out an invisible transcendence energy in the air, slashing towards Miao Yi, who was charging towards him along with his steed.
Immediately after, he quickly blocked the two people attacking from both sides.
Wielding his spear, Miao Yi abruptly thrust the Inversed-Scales Spear forward. The spear glowed with a resplendent light, and with a loud rumble, it broke through the oncoming fierce transcendence energy.
In the past, Miao Yi wouldn't have been able to block this attack. But now, with the power of the spear artifact, the might of the Rhinoceros Spirit demon spirit in the Inversed-Scales Spear was enough to break through this transcendence energy attack. In addition, the Inversed-Scales Spear could reduce the transmission of power by twenty percent, so this attack couldn't do much to Miao Yi.
If it wasn't an empty strike, but a real one from Su Biao, Miao Yi would definitely have a hard time blocking it.
As soon as he broke through the barrier, Miao Yi and his steed were instantly enveloped in a brilliant white radiance. He ruthlessly charged towards Su Biao, who was being held back by Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan.
Su Biao was instantly flustered.
Truth be told, the difference between a Blue Lotus First Grade and a Second Grade was like the difference between a White Lotus First Grade and a Second Grade. The difference in strength wasn't too great. Su Biao wouldn't have a problem defeating one of them, but it wouldn't be easy for him to defeat two of them.
Even if Miao Yi were to join the siege, he wouldn't be afraid. However, being struck by a dragon steed clad in armor artifact was no laughing matter. Even if he didn't die, he would be gravely injured. The impact of a dragon steed had always been frightening. Even a Blue Lotus cultivator wouldn't dare to face it head-on. What's more, with the might of a transcendent artifact supporting him, the consequences would be unimaginable.
It was difficult for two fists to fend off four hands. In a moment of desperation, Su Biao was flustered. He used all his strength to parry Lai Yuhan's and Yuan Fang's attacks, then abruptly leaped into the air with his mount.
Fighting at such a close distance, how could Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan allow him to escape so easily? Almost at the same time, they struck out with their spears, fiercely stabbing into the abdomen of the leaping dragon steed. Then, they swung their spears left and right, causing a rain of blood to erupt in the air, followed by a shrill neigh from the dragon steed.
Su Biao's mount was slain in midair. Su Biao himself rose into the air once more.
However, Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan wouldn't let him go. Both their dragon steeds leapt into the air and tried to kill him.
On the other hand, when Miao Yi crashed into the air and landed on the ground, the people who had rushed over to help Su Biao immediately rushed over and surrounded him. An intense siege.
Beneath Miao Yi, Charcoal quickly turned around and spun around on the spot. Clad in battle armor, Miao Yi struck out with his spear like a dragon, swiftly retaliating in all directions without the slightest hint of panic. The Inversed-Scales Spear in his hand let out a series of dragon roars to confuse the senses. Bursts of cold light shot out.
Wherever the sharp triangular spearhead struck, blood splattered everywhere. In the time it took for Charcoal to carry him in a full circle, five or six people had already been killed by his dragon steed.
Miao Yi followed the circling steed and pointed his spear at his surroundings. He scoffed coldly, and his voice reverberated in all directions. "The Cave Master of East Arrival Cave, Miao Yi, is here. Who dares challenge me?!"
The people surrounding him were so scared by his highly effective killing power that they all retreated, and no one dared to come forward again.
However, Miao Yi did not hold back. Beneath Charcoal, he abruptly charged out with Charcoal on his back, thrusting his spear in a ferocious charge to kill.
He no longer cared about Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan. The other party didn't even have a steed anymore. If the two of them still couldn't handle him, then they were truly useless.
He only cared about charging forward and helping the two of them block the others who wanted to help Su Biao out of his predicament.
As expected, the moment the three people battling in the sky landed on the ground, Su Biao's expression changed drastically. Without a steed, he didn't dare to face the two pursuers head on. He turned around and ran.
But Lai Yuhan and Yuan Fang wouldn't let him go. The dragon steeds beneath them shot out like lightning, and quickly caught up to him.
The sound of wind breaking could be heard from behind. Su Biao angrily turned around to retaliate, and his spear immediately collided with Lai Yuhan's spear.
BANG! A loud sound rang out. A white light flashed from the collision.
Lai Yuhan's figure swayed on his dragon steed. Even with the help of the dragon steed's power, he was still nearly knocked off. The other party's strength was there, and he brushed past Su Biao.
Meanwhile, the spear in Su Biao's hand was immediately sent flying. The web between his thumb and forefinger ruptured, and blood gushed out as he staggered backwards.
Under normal circumstances, Lai Yuhan wouldn't be his match in a head-on clash. But with the powerful impact of a dragon steed, it was a different story. The impact and speed, in addition to Lai Yuhan's own strength, caused the power of his attack to increase exponentially. In a single move, he sent Su Biao's weapon flying.
This was the reason why cultivators at the 'Traversing' realm didn't dare to battle without their dragon steeds. Not having a dragon steed during a battle was equivalent to losing half of one's life.
Even if a White Lotus First Grade cultivator were to face a Blue Lotus Ninth Grade expert, if the latter didn't have a dragon steed, the former could still use the dragon steed's leg strength to escape even if he couldn't win. Hence, to White Lotus and Blue Lotus cultivators, dragon steeds were almost indispensable.
Su Biao, who was shaken by the power of the strike, couldn't even stabilize himself in time as he widened his eyes in panic, only to see a cold light piercing towards him. Unarmed and defenseless, he had no way to block it in his desperation.
"Die!" Yuan Fang, who was following closely behind, bellowed angrily. In an instant, he pierced his spear through Su Biao's heart, raising his spear and flinging Su Biao's body away.
On the other side, Lai Yuhan quickly turned around and immediately rode his dragon steed over. With a single thrust of his spear, he sliced Su Biao's flying body in half, turning it into a rain of blood that fell to the ground.
With Su Biao's death, the Mount Returning Loyalty members, who were already in a complete mess from a mere East Arrival Cave, immediately panicked. The Cave Masters who were lucky enough to survive immediately waved their hands and shouted, "Retreat!"
A hundred men had ambushed them, but only thirty or so were left, fleeing in panic.
The fleeing men were filled with grief and indignation. They must have fallen into a trap. Otherwise, how could a mere East Arrival Cave's forces be so valiant? There wasn't even a single cultivator below White Lotus Fifth Grade to be seen. Over a hundred men were practically clashing head-on with twenty Cave Masters and even Mountain Chieftain level experts. Their combat prowess was truly valiant, each of them capable of fighting several at once. Even a Mountain Chieftain with a cultivation at Blue Lotus Second Grade had died. There was no way they could continue fighting this battle.
Miao Yi scanned his surroundings. Seeing that there were no survivors, he immediately urged Charcoal to charge forward. Relying on Charcoal's excellent leg strength, it didn't take long for him to catch up to one of the fleeing men at the very back. Pressing his body forward, he used his spear to overturn the man's steed, and the man immediately tumbled away.
Yuan Fang and Lai Yuhan, who were rushing over from both sides, brandished their spears through the air. The formless transcendence energy that seemed to be a physical substance caused the man to spit out blood and fall to the ground, rolling and struggling on the ground.
Miao Yi held the spear in his hand horizontally, preventing the men behind him from continuing their pursuit. He didn't understand the enemy's situation at the moment, and this group of ambushers didn't seem to be on Xiong Xiao's side. He had to first understand the situation, in case he fell into an ambush.
Charcoal slowly carried him forward. He extended the Inversed-Scales Spear, and flicked away the mask on the other party's face. The man immediately begged for mercy, "I surrender! I surrender! I surrender! "
Miao Yi coldly scoffed as he pointed the sharp three-edged spear tip at the other party's chest, "Who are you? How dare you invade my East Arrival Cave. Speak! If you speak a single lie, this Cave Master will make you regret ever being born into this world! "
"Mount Returning Loyalty. We are from Mount Returning Loyalty." The man pointed at the place where Su Biao had been killed, and said in a trembling voice, "That was our Mount Returning Loyalty's Mountain Chieftain, Su Biao. Everything I said is true. I beg Cave Master to be merciful and let me go!"
He was truly frightened by this Cave Master. The other party had a strong army, and with just twenty men, they were able to defeat almost an entire mountain's worth of troops. Was this a cave? Or had it been arranged beforehand?
"Mount Returning Loyalty?" Miao Yi furrowed his brows. Mount Returning Loyalty was right next door to him. There was no way he wouldn't know about it. "You are from Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor?"
"Yes, yes, yes. Yes." The man sitting on the ground with blood dripping from his mouth nodded repeatedly.
Yuan Fang and the rest looked at each other. The people from Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor were truly audacious. Were they trying to incite a war between the two Halls?
Miao Yi was also a little curious, and asked, "Why did you attack my East Arrival Cave in the middle of the night?"
"I don't know the specifics." The man shook his head and said, "I only know that the Mountain Chieftain sent word to us. Anyone who can capture or kill Mount Calming Sea's Mountain Chieftain Qin Weiwei will be handsomely rewarded!"
"Qin Weiwei?" Miao Yi was taken aback.
However, he quickly understood the reason. Thriving Ten-Thousand Manor wanted to seek revenge on Yang Qing!
They didn't dare to venture deep into South Edict Manor, fearing that they would leave behind some evidence that could be used against them. After much effort, they finally found out that Qin Weiwei had come to East Arrival Cave. They felt that they could quickly make a trip back and get rid of Qin Weiwei. With just the troops of East Arrival Cave, they naturally wouldn't be able to stop them. When the time came, they could just clean up all the evidence and leave. It was the same as giving Yang Qing a tight slap in the face.
The other party didn't hold East Arrival Cave in any regard. They didn't know that they had a strong army. In the end, they kicked an iron plate. Not only did they fail to get rid of Qin Weiwei, they even got rid of the Mountain Chieftain of Mount Returning Loyalty.
'Mother? F * ck! That b * tch really is my nemesis. She left happily, but brought an undeserved calamity upon my East Arrival Cave! '
Miao Yi silently cursed. He felt that his East Arrival Cave had mysteriously helped Qin Weiwei avoid a calamity. He was truly a competent Cave Master. He would have to ask Yang Qing for a reward later …
He asked the surrendered soldier a few more questions. Other than learning that there were troops from Mount Returning Loyalty at the border of East Arrival Cave, he didn't have any other valuable information.
This lowly soldier had no way of knowing if there were any follow-up actions from above. Miao Yi didn't want to waste any more time. He turned around and said, "Someone, keep an eye on him. He still has some use for us. Yuan Fang, send two more men to scout for news from Mount Returning Loyalty. "
Yuan Fang immediately pointed to two White Lotus Fifth Grade cultivators.
He then quickly cleaned up the battlefield. After taking inventory, Miao Yi realized that his side had also lost a White Lotus Sixth Grade and two White Lotus Fifth Grade cultivators. Three of them had died in one go, and some of them were injured. It made his heart ache a little. He thought that he didn't have many men to begin with.
However, he couldn't do anything about it. The other party had too many people surrounding them. There was no lack of Cave Masters among them. Under the siege, casualties were inevitable.
Under the rules of the game set by the Six Sages, the cultivators of this world fought ceaselessly for the sake of their own interests. Everyone was used to seeing life and death, so there was nothing to be sad about. The so-called funeral arrangements were nothing more than a burial.
However, everyone seemed to be in a good mood. Each and every one of them looked at the items gathered in Miao Yi's hands with expectant eyes. There were seven storage rings alone, and two of them belonged to Su Biao.
