Chapter 113 The Importance of Keeping Up with the Times
As the saying goes, even rabbits bite when they are anxious.
After more than ten disciples of the Dingguang Immortal Sect died, the remaining ones finally realized their situation, which was that there was no escape, and the more they ran, the faster they would die.
Some of the timid ones slid down to their knees, crying and begging for mercy from the Gu couple:
"Please, Master and Madam, please be magnanimous and spare us. Give us a chance to live. I have twelve newborn babies to raise at home..."
"Have mercy, this is all caused by our boss, it has nothing to do with us!"
"Don't kill me, my worthless life is not worthy of being contaminated by the evil karma of two nobles..."
……
Before they could even finish their begging for mercy, a ball of flames enveloped them, turning them into firemen, with their skin torn and flesh exposed, running all over the sky.
His body was on fire at high altitude, and even rolling on the ground was not enough to put out the fire. The fire became more intense under the strong wind, and soon lumps of black human-shaped charcoal fell to the ground with smoke.
This rather novel and tragic scene made Yan Ruoyan smile like a flower, as if she had seen a magician performing a trick.
"It's a death sentence either way, let's fight it out!"
The eldest brother who led the group had the highest level of cultivation. He managed to dodge in time and was not in danger. Seeing that there was no way out, he shouted, "Even if we die, we will bite off a piece of flesh from them!"
"Want to fight like a trapped beast?"
Gu Changfeng said jokingly: "You guys are worthy? I want to see how a few maggots can end up in a desperate situation."
Although he spoke ruthlessly, he was not in a hurry at all. He just continued to control the sword net to compress the movement space of the disciples of Dingguang Sect, leaving all the heads to Yan Ruoyan to reap.
"Follow me, our target is the treasure ship!" Ding Guangzong's eldest brother's eyes turned red, and he shouted in a hoarse voice: "If we can't hurt them, can't we smash the flying boat? If we destroy the flying boat at the risk of our lives, it will also make them feel painful!"
The remaining twenty or so disciples of Dingguang Sect also realized that they were going to die, and they each used their best defensive means to save their lives, and all rushed towards the slowly moving flying boat.
Gu Changfeng's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly controlled the group of swords to block it, but it was too late. More than ten people, including the leading senior brother, broke through the sword net blockade and rushed onto the deck of the flying boat.
Therefore, arrogance is the bad quality that cultivators should avoid the most. They only need to surround them on three sides and leave one side open, and then chase and kill them, and they can wipe out this group of bandits without any injuries. But the couple acted so violently and did not leave anyone a chance to survive. Even if the opponent is a southern cockroach, they will attack you in the face if they are forced into a corner. If they can't bite you to death, they will at least disgust you to death.
This group of people landed on the deck, knowing that there was no way to escape. They no longer had any greed for the spiritual stones that covered the deck, and each of them used their most powerful spells to attack indiscriminately, especially Senior Brother Dingguang, who danced a pair of purple gold hammers like the wind, and smashed the deck into pieces with just a few hammers.
Mountains of spiritual stones were splashing all over the sky, and countless translucent crystals flying in the air reflected a rainbow like water mist under the sunlight when viewed from afar.
The desperate counterattack of Dingguang Immortal Sect attracted Wen Rui's attention. This was an unexpected surprise. He had been in the prehistoric world for more than 500 years, but had never seen the rainbow optical phenomenon caused by the rain of spiritual stones in the sky. It looked so beautiful and romantic, even more romantic than the fireworks that Wang Duoyu set off for Xia Zhu!
Of course, it’s also more expensive.
"My money! My boat!"
Gu Changfeng felt as if he had been kicked in the vitals, and his roar was filled with pain. He wanted to control the flying sword to kill those rats that wasted the spirit stones, but he was afraid to act rashly.
He was even sharp enough to slash with one sword a ball of blazing fire thrown by Yan Ruoyan who was casting a spell towards the flying boat without knowing the severity of the problem.
"We can't cast spells anymore. Let's move closer and kill these ignorant beasts at close range!" Summoning the jade sword once again, Gu Changfeng embraced Yan Ruoyan and landed on the flying boat. They moved forward and beheaded the bandits on the deck one by one. No one was a match for them. Even if they fought back desperately, they were all swept away by the purple armor phantom held up by Yan Ruoyan.
The Purple Ribbon Immortal Armor Technique, the secret protective spell of the Yunxiao Immortal Sect, like the Moye Sword Technique, is also a top-level magical skill passed down by the Daluo Golden Immortal.
Soon the deck was littered with corpses, but there were not many spirit stones left. The two men who had suffered huge losses had red eyes, and without saying a word, they jumped into the big hole on the deck that was smashed by the purple gold hammer, and chased after the most hateful eldest brother of Dingguang Sect.
Wen Rui, who loves to watch the fun, quickly connected to the flying boat's hidden camera and switched the screen to the interior of the flying boat.
This flying boat was originally just a showpiece. The hull was made of ordinary shipbuilding wood, which could not withstand the smashing and smashing of a Yuanying realm cultivator. The cabin had been smashed to pieces, and only one in ten baffles between the cabins remained. In contrast, the view from the interior appeared to be wider.
When the Gu couple went down to the cabin, they immediately saw the eldest senior brother of the Lingguang Sect holding two sledgehammers and standing in front of a strange metal cylinder in the center of the flying boat.
Observation windows were installed all around the cylinder, through which one could see what was going on inside. It seemed as if there was a ball of thunder inside, with flashes of lightning constantly shining through the windows.
"You guys, don't come over!"
The eldest senior brother of Dingguang Immortal Sect stood beside the huge cylinder, raised his two hammers and threatened: "Do you know what this thing is? This is the power reactor of the flying boat. If I hammer it down, it will explode violently. By then, the area within a radius of ten miles will be reduced to dust, and you will not be spared!"
Gu Changfeng and Yan Ruoyan looked at each other and stopped at the same time. They looked hesitant. Although they were afraid, they were not sure whether the other party was lying to them in order to save his life because he was about to die.
"As long as you swear a great oath and let me go, I will not detonate the reactor and perish with you."
The eldest brother shouted in a stern voice: "I didn't lie to you. When we robbed the Chamber of Commerce's transport ships before, we accidentally detonated the reactor several times, and countless people were killed!"
"My husband and I have long been famous in the world of immortal cultivation. If we say we will let an ant go, we will let it go. If we say we won't kill you, we won't kill you. Why would we need to swear a great oath to the devil in our hearts?"
Gu Changfeng sneered, "Besides, my virtuous wife is a genius who specializes in defensive spells. What can a mere explosion do to me? Okay, I said I'll spare your life, so get out of here now. You'd better run away before I change my mind!"
Who would have thought that the eldest senior brother of Dingguang Xianzong might have heard of the couple's past notoriety, and his face suddenly changed, and he murmured in despair: "I understand, you won't let me go, I know you won't let me go..."
He looked determined and gritted his teeth as he said, "Well, as long as you guys are buried with us, our death won't be a loss!"
After saying that, he resolutely swung his hammers and smashed them hard at the metal cylinder.
The sound of this hammer was shocking, and it was obvious that a desperate force was used. Gu Changfeng and Yan Ruoyan suddenly felt alarmed and their faces changed at the same time.
Yan Ruoyan cast the spell with all her strength, and the purple armor shadows on the two of them became more solid, and purple air ropes coiled down, wrapping them up like cocoons.
“Bang!!!”
There was a loud bang, the sound of metal colliding. The couple looked carefully and saw that the metal cylinder was torn into a hideous hole, and it was obviously smashed. The lightning blocked inside did not explode, but instead dimmed a lot.
Senior Brother Dingguang, who was holding the giant hammer, was filled with astonishment. He never expected that the reactor would explode when it shouldn't have, and when he was expecting it to explode, it didn't.
Wen Rui rolled his eyes while watching through the monitor. The Chamber of Commerce was not an idiot. After so many transport ships were bombed over the years, they would of course try to make up for their losses by installing a safety measure on the reactor to automatically run the emergency shutdown and cooling procedure in the event of severe impact and damage.
Times are constantly changing. If the information you get is a little behind, one wrong move could lead to a complete loss. Even though you are determined to die and risk your life, you end up with a dud.
