As soon as he gave the order, the several hundred men each took out a few torches. As the entire team charged around, they tossed out the torches one after another. Under the starry night sky, they looked like shooting stars.
The Yao cultivators in the forest immediately reacted. The torches on the ground were quickly extinguished, and the tree demons running through the forest were also extinguished with their brandishing arms.
As if mocking Gu Sanzheng, the last spark was extinguished. A human face appeared on one of the tree trunks. It opened its mouth and blew the spark out with a whoosh.
How could a fire break out so easily in the residence of a group of demons?
Failed attempt at arson! Gu Sanzheng's face tensed up. This was an utter humiliation to him.
"Hmph! I'll let you all extinguish it! " Ye Xin suddenly scoffed. She casually tossed over a hundred Blaze Resins into the air. These were all the spoils from the Sea of Constellations.
She lashed out with the long whip in her hand, swiftly sweeping through the Blaze Resins. Amidst the clanging sounds, sparks flew everywhere, and the sparks turned into blazing fireballs that shot into the forest. It was a spectacular sight to behold.
The Yao cultivators hiding in the forest cried out in shock. The flames from the Blaze Resins were not easily extinguished. Not even water could extinguish them. Even if you buried them underground, the soil would still melt. Not only that, the flames were strong, and the temperature they emitted was extremely high.
This was an item used to refine transcendent artifacts, yet someone was using it to set fire. However, it was indeed a good item for setting fire.
That wasn't the end of it. Ye Xin continued to swing her whip and toss out over a thousand Blaze Resins. One fireball after another shot towards the surrounding forest. After that, she waved her long whip like a tornado, stirring up a strong gust of wind to blow at the burning flames. The wind fanned the flames, and they soared into the sky, sweeping through the forest in all directions. In an instant, the flames had set the plains ablaze.
Ye Xin's long whip swept up the fallen trees on the ground and tossed them into the sea of flames.
The members of the Red Scarves Alliance didn't need to be told. They immediately followed suit and tossed all the fallen trees around them into the sea of flames. They wanted to take revenge on the tree demons.
Fire had always been the bane of trees. Under such a ferocious fire, the tree demons in the forest could no longer hide. Some of the tree demons with sparks on their bodies immediately burrowed into the ground and escaped. Some transformed into human forms and hurriedly retreated to escape the sea of flames.
After avoiding the burning sea of fire, the demons quickly cast spells to turn the ground over, dragging the trees underground. He was preparing to create a fire isolation belt, otherwise, the entire island would be barren and not a single blade of grass would grow on this forested island.
How could Hei Langjun, who was on a distant mountain peak, still laugh? His face was twitching uncontrollably, and the two beauties beside him covered their mouths in shock as they stared at the raging sea of flames.
"Gu Sanzheng, how dare you!" Hei Langjun bellowed in rage.
Gu Sanzheng looked over. He laughed coldly. Since he had already done it, what was there to be afraid of?
With a flip of his hand, he took out a large handful of Blaze Resins. Not only were there Red Blaze Resins, there were even Blue Blaze Resins and Gold Blaze Resins. These were all things he had obtained in the Sea of Constellations and were worth quite a bit of money. However, he had said that he would make the entire island barren, so why would he care about such a small amount of money?
"Kill!" Gu Sanzheng waved his arm and shouted.
The three of them mounted their Crystal-Armored Hurricane Beasts and charged into the sea of flames. The hundreds of troops behind them immediately fanned out as well.
With a rumble, the winged cavalry forced their way into the raging sea of fire. They might not be able to stay in the sea of fire for too long, but it was still possible for them to invoke their arts to prevent the flames from invading them and their mounts for a short period of time.
As Gu Sanzheng charged into the sea of fire, he abruptly tossed out a large handful of Blaze Resins into the sky. The moment the Blaze Resins came into contact with the flames, they immediately ignited and transformed into red, blue, and gold flames. They formed into fireballs in the sky and flew far away.
Ye Xin and Tan Lao tossed out handfuls of Blaze Resins as well. Fireballs soared into the sky and landed far away.
'You want to dig a blockade? I'll let you dig, and I'll burn the fire to the other side. Let's see how you're going to dig! Let's see how you tree demons are going to cause trouble now! '
"No!" One tree demon after another waved their arms and cried out in pain as they looked at the forest burning in the distance. These tree demons were the ones who had the deepest attachment to the forest.
The Red Scarves Alliance's troops charged out of the sea of fire, bringing with them waves of heat and a vengeful aura. They charged straight for the Yao cultivators digging the blockade and slaughtered them without restraint. Cries of pain could be heard everywhere.
Under the blazing flames, the Yao cultivators had no way of defending themselves. In an instant, they suffered heavy casualties, and the few remaining Yao cultivators fled into the forest in a panic.
Gu Sanzheng and the other two led their mounts and charged forward. They charged straight for the mountain peak where Hei Langjun was.
The rapidly expanding sea of fire before him caused Hei Langjun's eyes to bulge out of their sockets. Not only was the island about to be completely destroyed, his own troops were almost completely wiped out as well.
The flames soared into the sky, illuminating the night sky. Thick billows of smoke dyed the starry sky.
This was one of the reasons why Fu Qing of the Western Constellations Palace was so displeased when the Sea of Constellations Subjugation Crusade was held in the Western Star Sea. Over a hundred thousand cultivators were going on a killing spree in the Western Star Sea. This was no different from trampling on his territory. It would be strange if he was happy.
Miao Yi and the others, who had yet to be caught in the crossfire, sighed and shook their heads.
Pi Junzi sighed, "This island we've been hiding on for the past few years has been destroyed." There was something in his heart that he didn't say out loud. If this Niu Youde hadn't escaped here, this island wouldn't have suffered such a calamity!
"Gu Sanzheng and his group sure are ruthless!" Miao Yi clicked his tongue, then turned to Zhao Fei and the others and said, "Gu Sanzheng's idea is not bad. If possible, we should make sure to collect some Blaze Resins in the future as well. Who knows, we might be able to use them. It's better to be prepared."
Now, he was a little regretful for selling off all the Blaze Resins back then.
Zhao Fei and the others were speechless. 'Aren't you worried about the treant behind you?'
The few of them turned their heads and saw that the tree behind them had shaken off all the leaves on the ground. Its branches retracted, and its entire body rapidly shrunk. In the blink of an eye, a white-haired old man jumped out of the pit and ran over with a look of horror on his face. He hid behind the big rock with the few of them.
Everyone was shocked. Miao Yi sized him up and down, then bluntly asked, "Why are you hiding here instead of helping out?"
Looking at his appearance, he almost wanted to kick this annoying Tree Demon away with a kick.
'Helping out? Only a fool would go and help out now! ' The old man pretended to be nervous and said, "It looks like we can't hold them off any longer. Are we still not going to retreat?"
The meaning behind his words was easy to understand. Earlier, Miao Yi had mentioned that Hei Langjun had arranged for them to stay here as a backup plan. He was clearly asking, 'The situation is already like this. Why aren't you making your backup plan yet?'
"It's none of your business whether we retreat or not. Go away!" Miao Yi said disdainfully, then turned back to continue watching the battle.
However, the white-haired old man wasn't willing to leave on his own. He simply kept quiet and continued to stay with the others. With the current situation, having more people gave him a sense of security.
Most of the Yao cultivators on the island had already been killed. The forces of the Red Scarves Alliance charged out from the second sea of flames and directly charged towards the mountain peak where Hei Langjun was.
"Die!" On the mountain peak, Hei Langjun suddenly bellowed. With a swing of his hand, he tossed out a huge black net. The black net exploded with a blue radiance in the air, instantly expanding several hundred times in size. However, the mesh did not expand at all. It directly enveloped the forces of the Red Scarves Alliance that were charging down the mountain.
Miao Yi and the others watched with widened eyes. This was probably Hei Langjun's' Seamless Net '. They wondered how powerful it was, and whether it could live up to the name of this transcendent artifact, where no one could escape the net the moment it attacked. Perhaps it would be able to capture Gu Sanzheng and the others in one fell swoop.
Gu Sanzheng and the others didn't expect Hei Langjun to have such a transcendent artifact in his possession either. A transcendent artifact that could transform itself was clearly not an ordinary Second Grade Transcendent Artifact that could increase one's power.
Not to mention that Hei Langjun was quite arrogant, so no one dared to underestimate him. Tan Lao used his full strength from the get-go. The sixteen jagged flying shields spun rapidly as they shot towards the sky, trying to cut through the huge net that was descending towards them. However, the jagged flying shields only produced sparks, and were unable to cut through even a single thread.
Seeing that the net was about to envelop the entire force of the Red Scarves Alliance, Miao Yi and the others immediately grew excited. It was indeed a good transcendent artifact. It looked like they really would be able to capture Gu Sanzheng and the others in one fell swoop.
Tan Lao used his flying shields to block the descending net, but it was useless. As soon as the huge net landed on the ground, it immediately began to close up. All the trees and boulders were sliced into pieces by the razor-sharp net threads as if they were tofu.
The forces of the Red Scarves Alliance that were caught in the net were so frightened that their expressions changed drastically. The net threads were so sharp. If they were caught in it, wouldn't they be turned into meat chunks?
"Haha …" Hei Langjun raised his head and laughed maniacally, his voice echoing throughout the surroundings.
Miao Yi quickly transmitted his voice over to Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei, "Once Hei Langjun succeeds, Sikong, immediately smash him to death with your hammer. The two of you will attack together. That 'Seamless Net' will be ours."
Sikong Wuwei agreed with Miao Yi's words. He had already stealthily gripped his small hammer in his hand.
With a grim expression on his face, Gu Sanzheng suddenly bellowed, "Break!"
With a wave of his hand, the one hundred and one Thunderclap Flying Swords shot out like a single thunderclap. Amidst the swooshing sounds, they only attacked a single point of the Seamless Net. The one hundred Thunderclap Flying Swords only struck a single point on a single thread of the Seamless Net.
Seeing that the huge net was about to envelop all the forces of the Red Scarves Alliance, Hei Langjun stared down at Gu Sanzheng with a vicious grin on his face. He was extremely disdainful of Gu Sanzheng's actions. However, before he could laugh to his heart's content, his expression suddenly froze, and his eyes widened.
"Ding …" A crisp sound reverberated through the night sky, like the sound of a zither string snapping. The thread that the Thunderclap Flying Swords were attacking with all their might was finally severed.
"Bang!" The entire net exploded, filling the sky with a gray mist.
Transcendent artifacts were not afraid of being damaged. As long as there was enough energy, they would automatically repair themselves and return to their original state when they were refined. What they were afraid of was destroying the transcendent artifact's overall structure. If that happened, the uncontrollable energy inside would immediately collapse along with the transcendent artifact's structure.
Miao Yi also widened his eyes and sucked in a deep breath. To think that the Thunderclap Flying Swords were so sharp that they could actually break through a top-grade Second Grade Transcendent Artifact. Now, he finally understood why Yao Ruoxian was so eager to obtain the pure, impurity-free Crystalline Silver secreted by the tiny mantids.
However, there was one thing he could be sure of. This clearly had something to do with the thin thread of the Seamless Net. If it were Sikong Wuwei's Mountain Suppressing Hammer instead, the Thunderclap Flying Swords wouldn't be able to do anything to him.
Looking at the gray mist that filled the sky, Sikong Wuwei clicked his tongue and said, "How much Crystalline Obsidian was hidden in such a thin Seamless Net? It's destroyed just like that. It's scattered all over the ground. It'll be difficult to collect it all. What a pity!"
"All hail the Alliance Master!" The members of the Red Scarves Alliance couldn't help but cheer loudly. They couldn't hide the joy and joy they felt after surviving a calamity.
On top of the mountain, Hei Langjun's expression twitched as he exclaimed, "My Seamless Net!"
