"Everyone! Immediately suppress the soldiers and sailors. Kill anyone who dares to move! Kill anyone who dares to make a ruckus! Kill anyone who dares to resist! "
Just as Hong Yi made up his mind to assassinate an imperial envoy, a second-class Earl of a great dynasty, in this vast and uninhabited sea, Chi Zhuiyang roared at Lélie and the rest.
"Mr Zhou, use your spiritual sense! Supervise all the ships! "
Chi Zhuiyang's roar was not for the soldiers and sailors to pick up their weapons and fight. Instead, it was to order the Xiantian experts and core warriors under Hong Yi to suppress the restlessness and mutiny of the soldiers and sailors.
At this moment, it was unrealistic for them to pick up their weapons, swing their ballistae and catapults, and attack the ships with the dragon flag.
When the dragon flag was hung on the ships of the Fu Bo Army, the morale of the soldiers had already dissipated.
Killing an imperial envoy by force was tantamount to rebellion. Ordinary soldiers and sailors had no way of following Hong Yi's lead. Moreover, after Hong Yi killed the commander of the Bi An Battalion, Luo Feng, the sailors and soldiers of a few ships became restless and hysterical!
Although Hong Yi treated the soldiers of the Green Battalion very well, providing them with good wine and meat, and even leading them into battles, everyone seemed to be loyal to him. However, when it came to killing an imperial envoy, they became timid! Some of them even had the mentality of rebelling against Hong Yi!
However, this was very normal!
If the soldiers of the Green Battalion under Hong Yi were on an ordinary battlefield, they would definitely fight to the death. They would not even hesitate if Hong Yi ordered them to cut their own throats. However, they would not listen to the order to kill an imperial envoy and rebel!
This was also the effect of righteousness and status, which permeated into everyone's heart.
At this moment, Hong Yi finally understood how difficult it was for those who rebelled in the history books. It was better in troubled times, but in times of peace, even if a general with a large army wanted to rebel, his subordinates would be the first to take his head to claim credit! Even the most trusted subordinates couldn't resist the double pressure of righteousness, status, and morality after a rebellion.
But it was fine now!
Hong Yi had cultivated to become a ghost immortal. His Taoist techniques were divine, and he was not afraid of a mutiny among the soldiers. He had enough power to suppress them!
Moreover, Hong Yi did not find it strange that the soldiers and sailors would mutiny. It would instead be strange if the soldiers rebelled without hesitation and attacked the imperial envoy's dragon flag at his command.
It was impossible to groom such a soldier without the brainwashing of several generations of families.
"Especially monitor the hundred-man Bear Guards!" Hong Yi frowned. "We have to prevent them from detonating the rockets! Die together with us! "
This was the most crucial moment.
The one hundred Bear Guards who were captured might have taken the risk as well. Perhaps at this moment, they would secretly detonate the over four thousand fire arrows and perish together with them! This was something they had to guard against.
This was a test of the human heart!
"With righteousness and reputation, the soldiers will be cohesive. Without righteousness and status, it will be difficult to command the soldiers. Fortunately, I have powerful Taoist techniques. Otherwise, these soldiers would have come up to chop off my head the moment I give the order! But I'm only silencing them, and not really rebelling. I still have to return to the Da Qian to take the Jinshi examination. On this vast sea, we can completely push the blame to Yun Meng for killing the imperial envoy. "
Hong Yi experienced the change in this instant and exchanged a look with Chan Yinsha.
Chan Yinsha smiled and indicated for Hong Yi to execute his Taoist techniques.
Just as Hong Yi was about to execute his Taoist techniques to subdue the enemy, the imperial envoy's warship, which was still three li away, suddenly launched an attack.
Rumble! Rumble!
The warship suddenly lined up in a row.
The strong smell of gunpowder filled the entire sea.
Following that, close to a hundred torches were raised and pointed downwards! In that instant, the few warships shook and the surface of the sea shook.
No one knew what was happening, but in that instant, the few warships seemed to have turned into giant beasts that could spit fire. Each warship spat out several columns of flames, smoke, and a thunderous rumble.
Pu!
Amidst the flames and smoke, several pitch-black metal balls whistled through the air as they smashed towards the warship! From the looks of it, they could pierce through any warship.
"What is this? Could it be a magical weapon from the Da Qian Firearms Battalion? Even the ballistae aren't this powerful! They can actually blast it 2,000 to 3,000 steps away! " Hong Yi was taken aback, but he did not hesitate. With a flip of his hand, a sinister wind swept up countless splashes of water, blocking these pitch-black metal balls.
Bang bang bang! Bang bang bang!
The moment these metal balls collided with the splashes of the sinister wind, they immediately exploded. It was as though a flower had bloomed, and metal shards flew everywhere. The might of this attack was 10 times stronger than the fire arrows!
"Could this be the legendary Thunderfire Iron Cannon of Fang Xiandao, the Exploding Bomb?" Hong Yi immediately recalled the legend of Fang Xiandao recorded in the Cottage Notebook. Fang Xiandao had a magical weapon called the Thunderfire Iron Cannon. It was also one of the 36 Thunders of the Daoist Heavens, the Divine Armor Thunder. When it was fired, it would explode into a ball of metal armor, and its power was enough to kill gods and Buddhas.
However, Hong Yi had never seen or seen such a thing before.
Clearly, the sudden interception on the sea had caused his soul to tremble violently and immediately scatter! Although it was not as powerful as the Explosive Flame Talisman Sword, it was enough to kill a large number of people.
More importantly, when the metal bombs exploded, metal shards flew everywhere. Many of them flew violently and embedded themselves into the hull of the warships.
The Peach God warship could not be embedded, but the five-fang warships were densely embedded with metal shards. It was a shocking sight!
Whoosh!
A palm-sized, sawtooth-shaped metal shard flew towards Chan Yinsha at lightning speed. Chan Yinsha's eyes flashed, and the sawtooth-shaped metal shard was caught between his fingers.
"What an impressive Divine Armor Thunder! Fang Xiandao is indeed from the External Alchemy Sect! Our Divine Cloud Dao's lightning technique is the lightning of the heart, and Fang Xiandao's is the lightning of the External Alchemy. I've long heard that Fang Xiandao has a method to condense the Divine Armor Thunder. Now that I've seen it, it really lives up to its reputation. It can actually be used by ordinary people! The Immemorial Big Dipper's 36 Thunders. Our Divine Cloud Dao has only passed down the Nine Bolts of the Northern Big Dipper. The other Southern Big Dipper, Eastern Big Dipper, and Western Big Dipper have all been lost. Today, I've seen the Divine Armor Thunder of the Eastern Big Dipper reappear! "
Chan Yinsha murmured, as if deep in thought.
Hearing Chan Yinsha's murmur, Hong Yi knew that there were 36 Immemorial Heavenly Dipper Lightning techniques recorded in the Dao scriptures.
Some of these lightning techniques were the lightning of the heart, which was the visualization of the soul. Some were body tempering, which was to simulate the sound of thunder through the bones and nasal cavities. Some were apertures tempering, which contained the true form of the lightning Qi, which was used to break through the Life and Death Door and become a Human Immortal. There were also the gunpowder of the External Alchemy, which was the true lightning fire. There were all kinds of them, but most of them were lost.
Chan Yinsha's Divine Cloud Dao Lightning technique was the Nine Bolts of the Northern Dipper of the Immemorial Heavenly Dipper 36 Bolts. They were Divine Cloud Lightning, North Pole Lightning, Purple Lightning, Immortal Lightning, Taiyi Lightning, Purple Kingdom Lightning, Shao Yang Lightning, and Society Order Lightning. These nine lightning were the lightning of the heart, and were used to cultivate the Dao of insight.
As for Fang Xiandao's Nine Bolts of the Eastern Dipper, such as the Wheel of Fire Lightning, Battle Lightning, and Armored Lightning, they were all external alchemy, mercury, saltpeter, sulfur, and metal gunpowder.
However, these ancient dao techniques only flashed past Hong Yi's mind. Today, he had truly witnessed the power of the Armored Lightning. It was truly invincible in the sea!
If not for his profound Dao techniques, the boat would have been destroyed and he would have perished in that one blow!
But now that Hong Yi had cultivated to become a ghostly immortal, this round of lightning cannons could not hurt him.
"I want to see what Fang Xiandao's Armored Lightning is all about."
Hong Yi smiled, and was about to use another dao technique. Just at this moment, several gusts of chilly wind swept up 18 sword lights, and suddenly shot up into the sky. They linked up to form a sword formation, and rushed towards him. The sword qi sliced through the smoky sea, causing it to tremble.
"What is this? Flying swords? 18 dao technique experts? These dao technique experts are all Telekinesis, and some are even visible. How can there be so many dao technique experts in the Hidden Wave Army? "
When these sword lights flew up, Hong Yi saw that the Yin wind spirits that swept up the flying swords were Daoist priests with unchanging facial expressions. All of them were Daoist priests, and all of them were Daoist masters who could control objects and materialize themselves.
Eighteen! Eighteen dao technique experts in Telekinesis and Telekinesis!
If the other party had sent out 18 Connate experts, or even 18 grandmasters, Hong Yi would not have been surprised. But 18 dao technique experts in Telekinesis and Telekinesis was too shocking.
Although there were few Connate experts in martial arts, there were even fewer who could Telekinesis and Telekinesis.
A thousand people, as long as they trained well in martial arts, would produce 10 to 20 Connate experts. But a thousand people who practiced dao techniques might not produce even one Telekinesis expert.
Martial arts and the cultivation of Dao techniques. Martial arts were much easier than Dao techniques. Firstly, Dao techniques were hard to master. Secondly, after mastering the basics, one would not be able to fight. One had to control objects in order to protect oneself. As for how difficult it was to master controlling objects, Hong Yi was well aware of it.
"Break for me!"
Although there were many of them, to a ghostly immortal like Hong Yi, it was nothing! The difference in their levels was too great. He raised his hand and a soul whirlpool spun!
Clang, clang …
The flying swords that had just flown above the deck fell to the ground. Following which, the 18 spirits struggled violently and were thrown into the soul whirlpool.
Chan Yinsha hurriedly threw the Everlasting Arrow. The spirits that had just been shattered and had yet to disappear were sucked into the arrow, turning into a ball of Essence Qi.
At this point, Hong Yi could not hold back. These dao technique experts especially could not be left alive. Otherwise, the assassination of the imperial envoy would be exposed sooner or later. Moreover, these dao technique experts would be even harder to control.
After eliminating 18 dao technique experts in one fell swoop, Hong Yi's spirit pounced forward and flew out violently, landing on the other party's ship. Light gathered on his body, forming a life-like figure of light. Even his clothes were translucent, and he looked 80% similar to a real person.
"Xiao Tianyao! Do you think you can run away? If you hadn't forced me over and over again, you wouldn't have met with such a calamity today! How dare you use the name of the imperial envoy to commandeer my priceless Peach God Warship! And you want me to be the vanguard to die? That's right, with your status, you could have given the order to any Da Qian fleet at sea. But you met me! When I met an enemy, I fled overseas to avoid trouble. I do not want to be enemies with unrelated people. If they do not offend me, I will not offend them! Although you are the imperial envoy, a gentleman cherishes his life. Since you are useful, I cannot abandon you so easily. I have no choice but to abandon you. "
The light body that Hong Yi had formed was the Moonlight King's Body. At this point, he had formed it with ghostly immortal strength. His body was as solid as crystal, and he held a huge steel fork in his hand. It was the one that belonged to Yaksha Of Baekje.
As soon as he boarded the ship, Hong Yi let out a roar, causing the surrounding air to tremble. Although it was a spirit, it did not have much Yin Qi. Instead, it had a powerful aura. This was the result of the Zhenwu Fist Will merging with the spirit.
"Demon! You killed my big brother. I will kill you! "
As soon as Hong Yi boarded the ship, the remaining six experts of the Bi Wu Camp rushed forward, their blades filled with killing intent.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Six bloodied rebar blades slashed onto Hong Yi's body, exploding with intense sparks. Those blades that were smeared with blood and were imbued with baleful aura were actually unable to break through Hong Yi's divine soul!
"Do you think you are Wu Sheng? You can injure me with just blood! "
Hong Yi roared. The steel fork in his hand trembled and spat out, piercing through an expert. Like a little chick, he fell off the ship and into the water.
Soon after, Hong Yi's figure forcefully charged forward. His body was like a diamond, and his steel trident pierced forward, killing or heavily injuring the six experts.
As soon as the remaining two experts jumped away, the steel fork in Hong Yi's hand flew out and pierced through their bodies like a divine dragon, causing them to fall to the ground.
The body of the Baoyue Guangwang, which was formed by the spirit, was invulnerable to swords and knives. It had infinite strength and could fly and change. How could a martial arts expert be a match for it?
Many soldiers on the ship were intimidated by Hong Yi's power and did not dare to come up for a while.
"Hong Yi! How dare you practice demonic arts! How dare you despise the emperor! You are still a human! "
From the cabin, came the angry roar of Count Chengyong, Xiao Tianyao!
"Of course I am not a human. I am an immortal!" Hong Yi straightened his steel fork and said calmly, "Xiao Tianyao, you probably did not expect that I have already cultivated to the level of a ghost immortal! Life and death will not enter the cycle of reincarnation! No matter how powerful you are, you can't run away. Tell me! What are you going to do this time? Destroy Yun Meng's fleet? I don't believe it! What important thing are you looking for? "
The reason why Hong Yi did not act immediately was that he had cultivated to the level of a ghost immortal on this vast sea. With Chan Yinsha holding the line, unless an invincible expert like the Peacock King came, it would be useless.
It could be said that he had complete control of the situation.
Now, he wanted to find out the secret information. The actions of the experts in the Da Qian army had been very unusual for the past few months. These days, he had asked Chan Yinsha to investigate. Although he did not find out anything specific, Hong Yi felt that there must be a big secret!
"Hmph! So what if you are a ghost immortal? "
Just then, another gentle voice sounded from the cabin. Swoosh! A small purple sword shot out. It was covered in runes and had the same aura as the Explosive Flame Talisman Sword!
"I knew there was an expert in hiding! Did you think I would fall for it? "
Hong Yi leaped up into the air!
