Amidst the confusion on the floating raft, the fifty Heaven's Chosen cultivators began to form an encirclement.
Very cautiously, the two True Monarchs and eight Nascent Soul cultivators approached. Plundering floating rafts in the void was a very particular matter. They couldn't just rush in recklessly. This was especially true for mid-sized and above floating rafts, which would often have some kind of hidden offensive formations. The offensive formations used on these rafts were generally very powerful. They were the transformations of the power of the floating raft, which could break through spatial barriers. If such a formation of energy were to hit a Nascent Soul cultivator, they would undoubtedly die. Even True Monarchs would be half-dead.
Therefore, they had to spread out and surround the floating raft. When they discovered signs of energy gathering on the floating raft, they couldn't run away. The best way was to hide on the other side of the raft.
Actually, what they were least worried about was the cultivators rushing out and fighting with them! This was because these mid-sized and below floating rafts could only carry about thirty people at most. There was still a difference in their numbers. Even if they couldn't win, they wouldn't lose much if they scattered and fled. From the looks of it, they probably did this kind of thing quite often!
Their luck wasn't bad either!
Bad meant that the ones who came out were Swordsman! This orthodoxy had left a deep impression on them a few decades ago at Echo Valley.
Good meant that only seven of them came out! One Supremacy and six Yuanying!
Under normal circumstances, when a floating raft encountered such a situation, there were only two ways to deal with it. Either they relied on their speed to escape, or all the cultivators came out and fought to the death with the bandits!
With the Swordsman inside the raft, with this orthodoxy's character, it was inevitable that they would come out and fight! With seven of them coming out, there were at most two or three rafts left inside the raft. This was the norm.
The Swordsman were very fierce. They came out and fought to the death. In just a few breaths, one Supremacy and five Yuanying died under their swords!
However, this didn't extinguish Heaven's Chosen's desire for the floating raft. Since the Swordsman's identity was exposed, they naturally had to make use of their advantage in numbers. There was no reason for them to escape!
The remaining people rushed forward. To Heaven's Chosen's surprise, another seven Swordsman flew out of the raft. Moreover, the raft started to lose control and spin on the spot!
He was also very cunning! The leader of the Swordsman team immediately judged the situation. The Swordsman in the rafts had all come out. Now, it was 40 people against 14 people. Their chances were very high!
Two groups of people fought around the floating raft that no one was looking after. Amidst the intense battle, Dao dissipated and celestial phenomena continued.
The Swordsman's strategy was very simple. The two of them paired up, one attacking and the other defending. It was a classic aerial battle tactic that Lou Xiaoyi had taught them in his previous life, the Main Engine Wingman!
Moving across a large area, the main engine and wingmen could switch positions at any time, depending on the specific battle situation! Not only did the two-man teams cooperate with each other, but the teams also cooperated with each other. Luring, attacking from the side, biting the tail, ambushing, charging … It was as if they had practiced this cooperation thousands of times!
This was not something an ordinary sect could do. It required the trust between companions to entrust their lives to each other! It was an accurate judgment of strength!
The leader of the Heaven's Choice cultivators felt that something was wrong as they fought. They originally felt that they had the advantage in numbers, but now they were at a disadvantage?
Excluding three of his companions who were preparing to take control of the raft, he counted that there were less than thirty people on his side!
Counting again, the other side also had thirty people!
They had been tricked!
He let out a shrill whistle and called for his companions to leave, but his reaction was too slow. It was already too late!
The reason why they sent out seven people first was because they were afraid of scaring them away! It was also to lure them into joining the fray!
The reason why they sent out seven people later was the same, to make them feel that they still had a chance! Then, in the midst of the battle, the floating raft was like dumplings being dropped into a pot. Every time a two-man Swordsman team passed by under the cover of the raft, two of them would run over, but four of them would run out!
Unknowingly, the Swordsman team had used their trump cards in the midst of the intense battle! Every Heaven's Choice cultivator was unable to sense this change in the battle. This was because the Swordsman team would never gang up on each other. They would only find their own opponents!
The Heaven's Choice cultivators felt that they could surround two opponents at the start with four or five of them, but now it was two against two? Where did their companions go?
In reality, their companions were decreasing, but their enemies were increasing! There was no one in control of the situation. This was the difference between a motley crew and an army. It was also the difference between a semi-professional and a professional!
By the time the leader of the Swordsman team understood the situation, it was already too late. Even he was being entangled by a Swordsman Swordsman, and it was difficult for him to escape!
He was regretting it. Why couldn't he remember the lesson from Echo Valley? Because there were more people? Because that Single Ear was a special case?
There were only two people left on the raft, Lou Xiaoyi and Wen Zhi. Lou Xiaoyi was calm, and was even dissatisfied with the performance of his subordinates. Their strategy was correct, but their hands were not nimble enough! Unclean! There was actually someone who couldn't be killed in one strike, and had to be dealt with again? How did they train their swordsmanship?
Wen Zhi, on the other hand, was shocked. Ever since the Heaven's Choice cultivators appeared, he had been constantly reminding them to speed up or dodge. If they couldn't do it, then Single Ear could go out and shock them!
But this little guy didn't move an inch. His body didn't move, his mouth didn't move, and he didn't even give out a command with his spiritual sense. It was as if everything had nothing to do with him! He just watched the Swordsman act on his own!
But the result made Wen Zhi cry out in disbelief! The power of this Swordsman was definitely not as weak as their numbers made it seem! If they really went out, they could block a hundred cultivators, or even more!
He had to raise his expectations of this little guy's potential again! Perhaps, even more tempting conditions were needed to pull him into the group?
In terms of combat power, the path of faith was more of a dependent type. In other words, the best combination was to have a certain orthodoxy's ability, and then use the power of faith to add flowers to the brocade! Purely relying on the power of faith, their methods were too simple and lacked variety!
But what he wanted to say now was, "You could have driven them away. You didn't have to kill them!"
Lou Xiaoyi disagreed. "Drive them away? Then let them come across the next target and rob them? You have the obligation to bear the consequences of your own actions! Otherwise, the karma of the Cultivation World won't be easy to calculate!
To me, when they decided to rob, they naturally became the whetstone for us to sharpen our swords! Either the stone collapses the sword, or the sword splits the stone. It's very fair! "
Wen Zhi sighed. He finally understood why the path of faith had fallen, but he was unwilling to accept it.
"I have no objections to the leader's punishment! But it's obvious that many of them were coerced and coerced. Perhaps they didn't want to do so … "
Lou Xiaoyi sighed as well. "I'm not the Heavenly Dao! I'm not in charge of judgment and arbitration! I'm even less interested in probing into other people's thoughts! You're already a Yuanying cultivator, and you're still talking about being coerced?
Senior, according to you, what kind of faith do you have with such a state of mind? Is it devotion? Or sacrifice?
This is a little similar to Buddha cutting off his flesh to feed the eagles. But I'm afraid you don't have enough meat to feed the wolves of this world! "
