The two of them finally understood why this guy was willing to give them the two transcendent artifacts so easily.
"The mountains will never change, and the rivers will always flow. Take care, you two. If there's a chance in the future, the three of us will reminisce about old times. I'll take my leave first!"
Miao Yi wasn't nervous at all. After bidding them farewell, he turned around and prepared to run. He really couldn't fight this battle alone. Leaving was the best option!
Unexpectedly, Sikong Wuwei, who was exchanging glances with Zhao Fei, stopped him and said, "This isn't over yet. Why are you leaving?!"
This was out of Miao Yi's expectations. He couldn't help but be taken aback as he said, "I say, you two aren't thinking of using me to earn some merit, are you? Don't you know what those people are like? They're people who don't care about their lives when they see transcendent artifacts. Besides, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Do you believe me? If I want to escape, you might not be able to catch me! Taking a step back, even if the two of you managed to capture me, it would be considered a meritorious deed, and they wouldn't let you keep those two treasures. Could it be that the two of you really want to spit out the treasures you've swallowed? Are you insane? "
He wasn't boasting. Given the current situation, if he wanted to escape, the two of them might not be able to catch him.
The reason was simple. The two tiny mantids were already quietly waiting on the sides of their mounts, and behind their calves. They raised their tiny scythes, ready to stab down at their calves at any moment.
If the two of them let him go, Miao Yi wouldn't make a move. If he left them in the enemy's camp, the Red Scarves Alliance would continue to pursue him. In order to protect their transcendent artifacts, there was a high chance that he would be able to use them to help him escape. Hence, giving them two transcendent artifacts for free wasn't a big deal. He had to give them up when he needed to.
If the two of them refused to let him go, and even attacked him, then Miao Yi wouldn't hold back. He wouldn't mind using the tiny mantids to kill them on the spot, snatch back the transcendent artifacts he had given them, and run away immediately.
In short, whether they were friend or foe, life or death, all depended on a single thought from the two of them.
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei still didn't know that Miao Yi had a backup plan. Even in this situation, he could still remain so calm. And he wasn't nervous in the slightest. They couldn't help but praise him in their hearts. 'What a calm guy!'
Sikong Wuwei chuckled. "If we let you leave just like that, then we'll be the real idiots."
Miao Yi narrowed his eyes. Just as Miao Yi was about to make his move, Zhao Fei suddenly sighed and said, "You were right about one thing. The hundred slots for the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade are more than enough for all of us. Naturally, we have to work together and fight for it. Sikong, do you think a hundred people can accommodate everyone on the other side? "
Sikong Wuwei continued to chuckle, "Of course not. There are thousands of them. "
Zhao Fei then asked, "Sikong, our cultivations are among the strongest among the participants of the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade. Do you think the three major sects will be willing to accept our surrender even if we have the ability to enter the top one hundred?"
Sikong Wuwei shook his head and said, "They won't. The three great sects will definitely team up to kill us first and try their best to let their fellow disciples enter."
Hearing the two of them echoing each other, a smile gradually appeared on Miao Yi's face. "But I only have a cultivation at White Lotus Seventh Grade. If we work together, the chances of success will be even lower."
Zhao Fei replied, "Haven't you, a White Lotus Seventh Grade cultivator, killed enough Blue Lotus Ninth Grade cultivators? Can a White Lotus Seventh Grade cultivator that can kill a Blue Lotus Ninth Grade cultivator still be considered a White Lotus Seventh Grade cultivator? "
Sikong Wuwei nodded and said, "A White Lotus Seventh Grade cultivator who even dares to offend the Hall Master is a monster."
Zhao Fei said, "The other side is hot on our trail. They clearly want to avenge the deaths of the disciples of the three major sects. They might let the others who killed the disciples of the three major sects go, but as the leaders, I'm afraid they won't let us go. Even if they let us go, we will definitely be forced to work for them! "
Sikong Wuwei said, "It's better to work for ourselves!"
Zhao Fei said, "That's right! In the past, we didn't have the ability to risk our lives. But now that we each have a powerful artifact in our hands, why should we be afraid of them? They haven't dared to make a move yet. Instead, they're trying to sow discord here. Clearly, they're a little afraid of us. Sikong, we didn't run before. Why did we choose to stay and face them? "
"F * ck them!" Sikong Wuwei let out a strange cackle. Suddenly, a pitch-black hammer appeared in his hand. In an instant, the hammer glowed with a blue radiance and abruptly grew to a gigantic size. With a swing of his arms, he smashed the hammer nearly a thousand meters away. He had made his move just like that.
The sound of wind and thunder abruptly resounded. On the other side, those who were waiting to see an internal strife were shocked. They didn't expect to see an internal strife, but a thunderous strike from the other side instead.
Dong Quan and the others were the most shocked. The Mountain Suppressing Hammer was actually in Sikong Wuwei's hands. Previously, they thought that Miao Yi might not be able to unleash the full might of such a transcendent artifact. However, it was clear that Sikong Wuwei didn't have such a problem.
Gu Sanzheng waved his hand, and a long, pitch-black box engraved with scriptures instantly appeared on his back. It looked a little like a zither box, and on the tilted end of the box were sword hilts gleaming with a silver light. This was the 'Thunderclap Sword Furnace' that Zhao Lingtu had mentioned before.
Gu Sanzheng waved his hand, and the Thunderclap Sword Furnace on his back glowed with a blue radiance.
Clang clang clang clang clang …
A series of crisp clangs reverberated through the air, and one flying sword after another flew out of their sheaths like a thunderclap. Their auras were astonishing, and a hundred and one silvery flying swords with a translucent aura shot towards the giant hammer.
"This Second Grade Transcendent Artifact is actually forged from Crystalline Silver?" Miao Yi was shocked.
Zhao Fei quickly explained, "This is no ordinary Crystalline Silver. It is pure Crystalline Silver without any impurities. That's why it has such an amber-like luster. It's extremely difficult to refine, and the transcendent artifacts refined from it are no weaker than ordinary Crystalline Obsidians. Their transcendence energy is even better than ordinary Crystalline Obsidians, and they are an excellent material for refining transcendent artifacts."
Miao Yi instantly thought of the tiny mantids. Yao Ruoxian seemed to have mentioned that the tiny mantids secreted high-purity Crystalline Silver without any impurities.
Boom boom boom …
A series of rapid explosions rang out. Gu Sanzheng's Thunderclap Flying Swords were already clashing against Sikong Wuwei's Mountain Suppressing Hammer.
Seeing that the situation wasn't looking good, Zhao Fei flashed the Spirit Illusion Greatsword and tossed it into the air. The Spirit Illusion Greatsword instantly multiplied into ten, ten into a hundred, a hundred into a thousand, and a thousand into ten thousand. In the blink of an eye, the entire sky was filled with greatswords, causing everyone's scalps to go numb.
Miao Yi didn't understand Gu Sanzheng's Thunderclap Flying Swords in the slightest, but Gu Sanzheng had a detailed understanding of the Mountain Suppressing Hammer. He knew how powerful the Mountain Suppressing Hammer was. Even his Thunderclap Flying Swords wouldn't dare to face it head-on.
The first Thunderclap Flying Sword shot towards the Mountain Suppressing Hammer. It didn't attack it head-on, but abruptly struck the side of the Mountain Suppressing Hammer.
However, the Mountain Suppressing Hammer's offensive power was indeed immense. The Thunderclap Flying Sword's ferocious strike actually didn't affect the Mountain Suppressing Hammer's speed or direction in the slightest. Seeing this, the Red Scarves Alliance's troops were horrified. What would happen if the Mountain Suppressing Hammer really smashed into their midst?
Controlling the Mountain Suppressing Hammer, Sikong Wuwei cackled with a smug expression.
Gu Sanzheng's expression was solemn. Forming the shape of a sword with both hands, he hurriedly waved them towards the sky.
The Thunderclap Flying Swords shot out one after another and fiercely struck the side of the Mountain Suppressing Hammer. A hundred and one Thunderclap Flying Swords suddenly danced in the air, forming a silver halo of light. They struck the Mountain Suppressing Hammer at an unbelievable speed, creating a beautiful sight to behold.
The sword circle that was connected to the Mountain Suppressing Hammer in midair spun countless times in an instant. Finally, the Mountain Suppressing Hammer was sent flying to the side.
Sikong Wuwei's expression froze.
Then, he saw Ye Xin fling out a long, pitch-black whip covered in sharp spikes. The whip, several meters long, trembled in the air. With a flash of blue light, the whip abruptly extended to over a hundred meters. Like an agile snake, it instantly coiled around the handle of the Mountain Suppressing Hammer that was flying away, and was about to pull the Mountain Suppressing Hammer over.
Sikong Wuwei couldn't bring himself to laugh anymore. He quickly invoked his arts to defend himself. How could he let the treasure he was using for the very first time get snatched away?
Fortunately, Zhao Fei had already noticed something was amiss. The Spirit Illusion Greatsword was already in his hand, and a dense barrage of greatswords filled the air as they flew towards Gu Sanzheng.
Seeing this, Ye Xin quickly loosened the grip on the Mountain Suppressing Hammer in her hand and coiled it back. The whip circled around her like a dragon, dancing in an airtight dance to protect herself and her mount.
Boom! The Mountain Suppressing Hammer smashed into the ground, causing the ground to crack. Then, it quickly flew back up and circled around.
Gu Sanzheng clapped his palms together, and the one hundred and one Thunderclap Flying Swords quickly flew back to him as well.
Tan Lao swung his arms and lifted his shoulders. Immediately, sixteen pieces of armor split out from the front and back of his armor. With a flash of green light, the pieces of armor expanded abruptly, instantly transforming into sixteen shields with sharp serrated edges. The shields spun around him to protect him.
The large group behind him paled in fright. Even though they knew that most of the attacks were just illusions of the Spirit Illusion Greatswords, no one could tell which were real and which were fake. They desperately swung their weapons to defend against the Spirit Illusion Greatswords raining down on them, but most of the time, they only managed to hit empty air. All their efforts were in vain.
However, even though their efforts were in vain, no one dared to stop. This was because every now and then, cries of agony could be heard from the surroundings. Someone had been struck down by the Spirit Illusion Greatswords, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people had already lost their lives to the Spirit Illusion Greatswords. Moreover, the cries of agony were still ringing out, causing everyone to panic.
Not only did the Spirit Illusion Greatswords force Gu Sanzheng and the other two chief disciples to defend themselves, it also caused nearly a thousand people to panic. It was clear how powerful it was.
The illusions of the Spirit Illusion Greatswords were simply too lifelike. Not only did they resemble the real thing, but they also possessed sound, color, and form. Not even transcendence eyes could tell if they were real or not. Who knew what materials were used to refine them?
If you saw a greatsword flying towards you, even if you guessed that it was most likely fake, you still wouldn't dare to not defend yourself. What if it was real?
Gu Sanzheng's Thunderclap Flying Swords, Ye Xin's whip, and Tan Lao's sixteen shields were all trembling from time to time. Clearly, they were being attacked by the mysterious Spirit Illusion Greatswords.
The cries of agony coming from behind the three of them were proof of how terrifying the Spirit Illusion Greatswords were.
It wasn't without reason that Ba Wenjing could confidently dominate the Western Star Sea with just a single Spirit Illusion Greatsword. There was indeed something to be proud of. However, his luck was terrible. To think that he would suffer a crushing defeat from a single strike from Zhao Lingtu's hammer. It was simply impossible to defend against.
"What a powerful transcendent artifact. How could that clumsy Mountain Suppressing Hammer counter such a bizarre transcendent artifact? I'm afraid even the Mystic Yin Mirror is no match for this Spirit Illusion Greatsword!" Ye Xin exclaimed in shock. She couldn't seem to understand how the Spirit Illusion Greatsword could lose to the Mountain Suppressing Hammer.
