(One hundred monthly passes, plus updates!)
The voice sounded a little familiar. Miao Yi and the others took a look, and their eyes immediately lit up.
"Yan Beihong!" The three of them cried out in unison. They didn't expect Yan Beihong to appear at such a crucial moment.
They saw Yan Beihong flying towards them with an exaggeratedly large saber on his shoulder. It was different from the one the three of them had seen before. Although this saber looked exactly the same as the one they had seen before, it was crimson in color. It was so red that it looked a little strange. It was so red.
The crimson saber was on his shoulder, its blade pointed towards the sky. The blade was so bright that it gave off a penetrating aura, as if it could draw one's gaze.
Yan Beihong wasn't alone. Behind him were six Red Lotus cultivators. Seeing seven Red Lotus cultivators all at once gave Miao Yi and the others a lot of confidence.
The Sun Traversing Palace cultivators who were bombarding the newcomers narrowed their eyes and realized they didn't recognize a single one of the seven newcomers. The Red Lotus cultivators of Traversing Water Palace should have met at least once in the capital city during the handover of the annual tribute. Even the Advisors couldn't possibly not recognize a single one of the seven newcomers.
Ten of them immediately went over to block the newcomers. One of them barked, "Who goes there?!"
"You can ask if you can survive my saber!" Yan Beihong scoffed. The seven of them spread out in the air and pointed their crimson sabers at the encirclement. "Stop right now. Come at me if you dare!"
What a boast, yet his six subordinates acted as if it was only natural for them to do so.
"Who are you?" The other party roared, "How dare you interfere in the affairs of Sun Traversing Palace!"
Yan Beihong turned around and said, "Listen up, all of you. These people dare to bully my little brother. It would be too lenient to just kill them. Capture them alive. Don't kill them. I will make them wish they were dead when I get back!"
"Capture them alive?" One of them was shocked. "This …"
The others looked at each other in dismay. Wasn't it a little too difficult to kill and capture them alive?
"Can't six of us capture a living person? I'll kill them. You guys capture them! "
While Yan Beihong was calmly giving out orders, Miao Yi was having a hard time keeping up with the situation. He shouted, "Big Brother Yan, are you done yet? I'm about to lose my life."
Yan Beihong threw his head back and laughed maniacally. "Don't panic, little brother. Big Brother is here to help you out!" The broadsword in his hand let out a buzzing sound, and a layer of green halo suddenly appeared on the blood-red blade.
Seeing that they were here to help Traversing Water Palace's side, the ten people who had stopped them had nothing to say. One of them immediately made the first move and charged forward.
Yan Beihong glared at him coldly. Suddenly, there was an angry roar, "Watch my blade!"
The blood-red broadsword slashed down, bringing with it a green phantom. Dang! A crisp sound rang out, and a third-grade treasured spear that was thrusting straight at him was actually split open like a knife cutting through tofu. It wasn't defeated, but split open by a single slash.
The newcomer was shocked! Before he could let go, Yan Beihong had already swung his blade three times at an inconceivable speed. Each of the blades had severed an arm. His legs were chopped off.
The man let out a blood-curdling scream as Yan Beihong slammed the back of his saber into the ground.
"I told you to prepare the beast pouch! Catch him! "
Yan Beihong shouted at his subordinates. His blood-red robes fluttered in the wind as he brandished his broadsword and charged at the other nine people.
The nine people immediately joined forces to attack, instantly surrounding Yan Beihong and attacking him with all sorts of weapons.
"Slash!" Yan Beihong swung his broadsword through the air. His long, black hair fluttered behind him as he instantly spun around in the air, moving as fast as a thousand-faced Buddha. With a furious roar, countless saber shadows slashed in all directions.
Dang, dang, dang …
Nine crisp sounds rang out. The nine people surrounding him were instantly dumbfounded. Their nine treasures were instantly split open like tofu.
They were split open! Not defeated! The treasured saber in Yan Beihong's hand was so sharp that it made people's hair stand on end.
The nine people were scared out of their wits, and they immediately scattered in all directions.
"Slash!" Yan Beihong shouted. The nine blades that he had swung out suddenly extended into astral blades. To be more precise, the green radiance on the saber was transformed into a tangible astral blade as it lashed out at the nine people's backs.
The nine people didn't seem to be injured, but they all let out muffled groans. Trembling, they didn't dare to run anymore. They turned around to look at Yan Beihong, all of them trembling in fear. It was as though they had just seen the most terrifying demon in the world.
Yan Beihong didn't care about that. He quickly gave chase, the saber in his hand dancing in the air. In an instant, he chopped off their limbs, turning them into human sticks. With a swing of his broadsword, the nine people screamed in agony as they crashed to the ground.
"Capture them!" With that, Yan Beihong charged towards the group of Red Lotus cultivators surrounding Miao Yi.
The six subordinates he had brought with him immediately charged towards the ground to capture the nine people.
The twenty-seven people surrounding Miao Yi and the others were a little dumbfounded. Ten of their comrades had been taken care of just like that? What kind of transcendent artifact did this guy have? How could he cut them down as easily as if he was chopping vegetables? How were they supposed to fight him?
The group of people were so frightened by Yan Beihong that they immediately scattered into different directions.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Yan Beihong chased after them with his saber in tow.
With Yan Beihong's cultivation, it would be difficult for him to catch up to them. They might not be able to defeat him, but they weren't any slower than him when it came to running.
Just like that, Miao Yi and the others were freed from their encirclement. As soon as Yan Beihong arrived, he easily freed them with a single slash of his saber.
Tao Qingli, who had been worried about Sikong Wuwei during her battle with Zhu Yaoxian, heaved a sigh of relief. She would occasionally look at Yan Beihong in surprise.
Trapped within the golden dragon, Zhu Yaoxian bellowed, "Who are you? Tell me your name!"
Yan Beihong laughed heartily. "Old man, just because they can't do anything to you doesn't mean I can't either. Once I'm done with them, I'll have nothing to worry about. Just wait and see how I'll deal with you then! Palace Lord, hold on a little longer. I'll lend you a hand later. I'll definitely make this old man wish he was dead! "
Tao Qingli gritted her teeth and responded to Yan Beihong's call. She took out another ten Third Grade Formation Pills and tossed them into the dragon's stomach to provide energy. In order to trap Zhu Yaoxian, she had already used up ten Third Grade Formation Pills. Granny Tao had only saved up twenty of them for her. She was clearly trying to trap Zhu Yaoxian at all costs.
Zhu Yaoxian was both shocked and furious at the same time. After witnessing Yan Beihong's might earlier, he was worried that he would be killed. Unfortunately, he was trapped by Tao Qingli's transcendent artifact and couldn't escape.
"This … this Yan Beihong is a little too incredible. How did he become so powerful after breaking through to the Red Lotus realm?" Sikong Wuwei was shocked.
The three of them, who were just about to fight to the death, suddenly felt like they had nothing better to do but watch the show. They didn't know what to do when they suddenly went from being in dire straits to having nothing to do.
Zhao Fei stared at the saber in Yan Beihong's hand and muttered, "That saber artifact is very sharp as well. It looks a little like a Second Grade Transcendent Artifact. Look at the blue glow on it. It doesn't seem as concentrated as the glow of a transcendent artifact. It gives off a faint glow." Miao Yi was also staring at the saber in Yan Beihong's hand.
Miao Yi was also staring at the saber in Yan Beihong's hand, and he was clearly a little surprised. He had seen the glow of this transcendent artifact before, and it left a deep impression on him. It was back in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea when he saw the Netherdragon Ship. When the zombies that were dragging the ship attacked, they seemed to have a similar glow on their chains.
He remembered that Wu Zhen and Wu Ming had been struck by the orange glow on the chains at the time. The two women immediately experienced a drastic change in their temperament. They suddenly became extremely lascivious, and they even forcefully humiliated him.
Back then, he only suspected that there was something wrong with the orange glow on the chains. But after witnessing the scene just now, when the blue glow on Yan Beihong's saber struck all nine of them, they seemed to have become abnormally timid and fearful. It was obvious that they were afraid!
Miao Yi clearly remembered that when Guo Shaohai and the others caught up to the Netherdragon Ship, the seven-colored chains that the zombies had unleashed with their whips were exactly the same as the one on Yan Beihong's saber.
Comparing the two, Miao Yi immediately came to a conclusion. 'Could it be that the orange glow could make people lascivious, while the blue glow could make them timid?'
But what truly puzzled Miao Yi was the fact that Yan Beihong had obtained such a transcendent artifact. Could it be that he found it in Flowing Clouds Dune Sea after hearing about the Netherdragon Ship?
But that was clearly impossible. The journey was so long, so how could he have found the Netherdragon Ship so easily in such a short time? Even if he did find it, given Yan Beihong's strength, there was no way he could board the ship and retrieve the transcendent artifact.
Even if Yan Beihong had a way to board the ship and retrieve the transcendent artifact, there was no way he could have so coincidentally found a saber that was exactly the same as the one Miao Yi was using. Other than the difference in color, the two sabers were completely identical. Could it be that Yan Beihong had this saber in his possession all along?
'Just where did Yan Beihong get this saber from …' Miao Yi was deeply suspicious.
"Zhao Fei, Sikong Wuwei, what are you two doing here? If you knew they were going to kill you, hurry up and help me stop them! "
Yan Beihong suddenly bellowed as he dragged his saber in the air but couldn't catch up to them. He seemed to be a little anxious.
Zhao Fei and Sikong Wuwei's expressions immediately froze. They exchanged awkward glances as they realized that they were being a little rude. Yan Beihong had helped them out of their predicament, yet they were just watching from the sidelines.
"They're coming!" Sikong Wuwei roared. Together with Zhao Fei, he took to the skies and joined the ranks of the pursuers.
The twenty-seven people weren't afraid of them either. They quickly split into three groups of nine and ran together. If they ran into Yan Beihong, they would run. If they ran into anyone else, they would rely on their superior numbers to launch a frenzied assault. If they found it too troublesome, they would circle around them and run away.
These twenty-seven people were quite wicked as well. They simply circled around Yan Beihong's group and didn't fight, nor did they run away.
This was because they were delaying. Once the Sun Traversing Palace sensed that something was amiss, they would definitely come over to investigate. As for running away at the last minute, they couldn't do it. Otherwise, they would definitely lose their positions.
Miao Yi was shaking his head as he looked up at the sky. Suddenly, his pupils shrank. He quickly turned his steed around and ran for his life.
One of the groups seemed to have gotten bored of running around in circles, so they were actually charging towards him. They were probably planning to finish him off while they were at it.
Miao Yi was speechless as he ran for his life. He gritted his teeth in anger. This bunch of bastards actually picked on the weaker ones. Since they couldn't defeat Yan Beihong, they decided to target him instead. If he had known this would happen, he would have left as soon as possible instead of watching from the sidelines.
