Chapter 420 - 416: Leave No One Alive
"It’s him!"
Seeing the magic energy airship heading this way, Cheng Pu’s heart gave a jolt.
Because that magic energy airship was different from the others, it had a flag on the side made up of two peculiar leaf patterns, fluttering in the wind, exuding supreme majesty.
That is the unique emblem of Yellow Sand City.
An emblem used only by the Lord of Yellow Sand City.
The appearance of this flag means that the Lord himself has come!
This made Cheng Pu both shocked and excited.
On the other side, Qi Hongwu and others squinted, watching this uninvited guest.
"Another airship has come?"
"No wonder this old guy is so fearless, do you really think just any helper can save you?"
Cheng Pu recognized the emblem of Yellow Sand City, but Qi Hongwu and the other two did not.
After all, their dukedom does not belong to the Holy Radiance Ten Great Dukedoms, but to another kingdom’s subordinate dukedom.
Before the Saint Radiance Emperor’s empire was established, the dukedoms on both sides were constantly clashing and battling, their relationship could be described as extremely poor.
"I advise you to leave quickly, the one on that ship is not someone you can afford to offend." Cheng Pu said coldly.
"Oh? Really?" Qi Hongwu’s words were full of disdain.
He did not believe Cheng Pu was capable of inviting a Tier Nine Lord over.
As long as it’s not a Tier Nine Lord, with their strength, there’s no need to worry about danger.
"I want to see who can’t afford to offend!"
"Since we can destroy two airships, we can destroy the third one too. Go! Shoot it down!"
With a loud yell, the flying species around the three of them swiftly soared into the sky, charging toward the magic energy airship.
On the back of each species, there sat Tier Eight cultivators, each drawing their weapons with cold murderous intent in their eyes, blocking the magic energy airship in an instant.
"Hmm?"
On the deck, Lin You frowned, not expecting to be attacked just upon arrival.
Soon, he noticed the two destroyed magic energy airships below, and his expression gradually turned serious.
"Enemies attacking! Protect the Lord!"
Xu Zhong shouted urgently, quickly deploying the guards all around, ready to engage in battle.
In no time at all.
The flying species and cultivators had surrounded the magic energy airship, launching a barrage of attacks, arching toward them with a whistling swoop.
They intended to obliterate them right in the sky.
"Hmph!"
Lin You snorted coldly, and the Forest Sage appeared behind him.
The next second.
The Peaceful Domain was activated, enveloping the entire magic energy airship.
The intense attacks dissipated instantly upon touching the domain.
"What’s going on?"
The expressions of Qi Hongwu and others changed, startled by this strange occurrence.
The attackers, the cultivators, eyes wide with shock.
Immediately,
Lin You extended his hand again, summoning the Demon Emperor Dragon and the Demon Queen Dragon. At the same time, beams of light flickered beside him as long-range species appeared continuously, covering the whole deck.
"Leave no one alive!"
An emotionless voice rang out as the Demon Emperor Dragon and Demon Queen Dragon darted out, swiftly approaching the surrounding flying species.
The huge bodies caused the faces of many Tier Eight cultivators to change dramatically, snapping back to reality.
"Quick, block them!"
"Attack!!"
The whole scene turned chaotic, as all the species turned their focus to concentrate their fire on the Demon Emperor Dragon and Demon Queen Dragon.
A multitude of attacks appeared once more, as if to engulf the entire sky.
However.
To their utter astonishment.
The attacks that landed on the Demon Emperor Dragon and Demon Queen Dragon bounced off, leaving not a single scratch.
Some were directly blocked by a faint shield, disappearing without a trace.
"Bang!"
"Ah—"
In just one clash, the powerful Demon Emperor Dragon smashed a group of species and cultivators in front of it into pulp with one swipe of its claw.
The Demon Queen Dragon unleashed Rose Chaos Dance, madly flinging the blood-colored roses on its body.
Wherever it went, blood exploded, sending species flying.
The species on the airship were not idle either, numerous vines shot out, binding any species and cultivators that got close, draining their blood.
The Mushroom Legion and Pea Shooter followed closely, scattering a mass of mushrooms and bullets in all directions, surrounding the airship with violent explosions and the shrill screams of cultivators.
Utterly defeating them!
"How could it be!"
Below, Qi Hongwu and the other two stared blankly at the falling bodies, their eyes filled with shock, not expecting such an outcome.
Because those plants seemed to be only Tier Eight at most.
Why could Tier Eight species have such monstrous defenses!?
"Don’t hold back, attack with full force!"
Qi Hongwu’s expression darkened as he directed the two beside him.
The two exchanged a glance, immediately ordering their respective Tier Nine species to charge into the sky.
Fifteen Tier Nine flying species, with overwhelming power, charged straight toward Lin You on the magic energy airship.
"Boom!"
Unexpectedly, at that moment, the airship suddenly burst into sparks.
A red stream of light shot out swiftly, instantly piercing through the bodies of two Tier Nine Soldiers.
The bullet’s momentum didn’t diminish, dragging a long tail flame as it swept toward the three people.
"Quickly, move aside!"
Qi Hongwu shouted in alarm, feeling a rush of deadly threat, and instinctively retreated, dodging the deadly strike.
The spot where they were just standing exploded into a giant crater from the pea bullet, leaving them in shock.
With just one strike.
It wiped out two Tier Nine Soldiers, and even the aftermath was terrifying.
Is this really something a Tier Eight Lord can do?
"Who the hell are you!"
Qi Hongwu stared fiercely at Lin You on the airship.
"Destroy my magic energy airship, disrupt my trade route, and yet you ask who I am?" Lin You stood at the edge of the deck, speaking indifferently.
His voice, cold as ice, immediately changed the expressions of Qi Hongwu and the others.
This overwhelmingly powerful being is actually the owner of these magic energy airships!
At this moment.
They finally realized they’d provoked an entity they shouldn’t have.
Without thinking further, they immediately abandoned their attack on the airship, calling back their soldiers.
Then, exchanging glances, they turned and fled.
"Trying to escape? Not that easy!"
From afar, Cheng Pu surely wouldn’t let them escape so easily; he shouted angrily, as the soldiers and cultivators beside him transformed into a tidal wave, surrounding them.
Qi Hongwu and his companions tried to change direction, when suddenly a swarm of ancient trees and cactus soldier species appeared behind them, crashing down from the sky.
"Come back, all of you!"
Qi Hongwu shouted towards the sky, summoning all soldiers and cultivators back to him, forming a siege around them, while feeling extremely bewildered.
Because he discovered, the aura emanating from those plant species wasn’t any weaker than Tier Nine Soldiers; it was even stronger!
How could a Tier Eight Lord’s species be this powerful?
What kind of terrifying existence did they encounter!
Regrettably.
Before he could think further, several loud dragon roars suddenly resounded through the sky.
The Demon Emperor Dragon and Demon Queen Dragon directly activated their Rapid Shadow Skills, coiling high-speed upwards, stirring a violent storm over the plain.
"Not good, it’s a combination skill of the plant type, quickly disperse!"
Qi Hongwu finally reacted, shouting in alarm.
However, they were already surrounded by the opposing teams, with no way to escape quickly.
In the blink of an eye.
The entire group was engulfed by the storm, screeching as they were swept into the sky.
Swept up alongside them were the Explosive Mushrooms thrown by the Mushroom Demon King and the Mushroom Legion.
With a thunderous blast, the sky shook violently.
[Killed Tier Eight Lord, gained 50.74 million magic energy, Tier Eight Territory Essence x1]
[Killed Tier Eight Lord, gained 19.45 million magic energy, Tier Eight Territory Essence x1]
[Killed Tier Eight Lord, gained 22.60 million magic energy, Tier Eight Territory Essence x1]
Three notifications echoed consecutively in Lin You’s mind.
Under the combined attack of the combination skills and the Explosive Mushrooms, Qi Hongwu and his companions perished instantly, providing him with 90 million magic energy.
His total magic energy suddenly surpassed the 400 million mark.
Glancing at the shattered corpses at the eye of the storm, he then spoke to the driver behind him:
"Alright, let’s land."
"Got it!"
Moments later.
The magic energy airship slowly descended, stirring up a wave of dust and sand on the plain.
Having just dealt with the remaining enemies, Cheng Pu hurriedly came over with his team.
"Didn’t expect you to come personally; why didn’t you notify me earlier?"
"The situation occurred suddenly, so I didn’t have time to notify you. How’s everything on your side?"
Lin You led his team off the airship, approaching Cheng Pu.
Upon his appearance, several Tier Eight Cultivators beside Cheng Pu tensed up, a flash of fear in their eyes.
"Sorry to make you laugh." Cheng Pu forced a smile.
"Those guys were my enemies from the Battlefield of Ten Thousand Realms, originally my personal affair, but it ended up with the airship destroyed, the route delayed, and you having to make a special trip; I genuinely apologize."
"It’s just a small matter." Lin You waved it off, glancing at the distance where the destroyed airship lay.
No wonder there had been no news; turns out this was the situation.
Luckily, he hurried over in time, or Chixiao City might’ve been breached today.
Thinking of this, he couldn’t help but ask: "What about the trade crew and guards on the ship? Everyone alright?"
"Don’t worry, I’ve relocated everyone into the city, none missing, and I’ll also compensate you for the airship’s manufacturing cost and materials later."
"Good, as long as everyone’s fine."
Lin You secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Since this trade route opened across the Dukedom, he had put a lot of manpower into it.
If everyone had encountered disaster, not only would it affect his future staffing, but the prestige of Yellow Sand City would be greatly reduced.
After all, many other trade crews and cultivators were involved from outside.
If they all refrained from trading here out of fear, the losses would be significant.
Now hearing everyone’s safe, his suspended heart finally eased.
After understanding the situation on site, he followed Cheng Pu into Chixiao City to check on the ship’s crew.
With night falling, there’s no way to return to Yellow Sand City now.
Therefore, Lin You decided to stay overnight in Chixiao City, planning to return with his team early the next morning.
