Chapter 154: 1 Ship Battle 1 Sect
Chapter 154: One Ship vs. One Sect
True Man Zi Yang was so angry that one Buddha ascended to heaven and two Buddhas left their bodies. He had a lifespan of a thousand years and had been an immortal for hundreds of years. He had never suffered such humiliation.
The temple where the founder attained enlightenment was taken away by someone. It would be a huge joke if it got out. If this matter were known by Lord Daode, he would no longer be the head of the sect and would have to go back to being a Taoist boy serving under the Lord of Heaven.
It's a pity that although he was angry, logically speaking, what Wen Rui said was correct. The current reality was that Zi Yang Immortal Sect wanted to buy back Qing Feng Mountain from him, and whether to sell it or not depended on their mood.
"Master Wen, please don't be angry with my junior brother. He contacted you without my knowledge, and what he said cannot represent our sect. I will punish him to apologize to you in person, and then he will go to the cliff to face the wall for a hundred years."
Without hesitation, Ziyang Xianzong pushed Zhang Zhenren out as a scapegoat: "My Ziyang Xianzong's Taoist temple Qingfeng Mountain is not worth much. It is just the place where the founder achieved enlightenment. It has some commemorative significance. You have no use for it. Let's go back to the previous terms and discuss the equal principal and interest repayment."
"Brother Ziyang, don't make excuses. Do you think I don't know that Brother Zhang dared to cheat me with your instructions? From yesterday to today, I have been broadcasting an ultimatum at a high volume. Are you deaf or what? Can't you hear it?"
Wen Rui sneered, "Now that the situation has been decided and Qingfeng Mountain is in my pocket, can I still be tricked into giving it back by just a few words from you?"
Zi Yang Zhenren gritted his teeth and wanted to strike Wen Rui with his sword, but because he had Li Moxian to protect him, Lishan Laomu to back him up in the world, and Wen Tianzun to back him up in the sky, he could only continue to smile:
"Brother Wen, isn't it enough for me to apologize to you? My disciples in this mountain haven't moved yet, and you're moving the mountain away. If we don't move, you won't be able to find a buyer. Don't say angry words. Let's sit down and talk calmly with the attitude of solving the problem."
"I wanted to have a good talk with you, but you were too shameless to talk to me." Wen Rui was unmoved and said, "It's okay if you don't want to move. I will take this mountain around the prehistoric world and show it to the other sects that owe debts. Then I will go straight to the East China Sea and throw this mountain into the eye of the East China Sea to rinse it, wash off the dirt, and then sell it clean!"
This time, True Man Zi Yang really couldn't bear it anymore. He thought that even if his mountain gate was taken away by Wen Rui, he would have nowhere to sell it. This would only force Zi Yang Immortal Sect to buy it back at a high price. All the disciples stayed on the mountain and he couldn't sell it. Sooner or later, he would have to sell it to Zi Yang Immortal Sect at a low price.
As a result, this unscrupulous kid came up with such a disgusting idea. First, he wanted to make Zi Yang Immortal Sect lose face in the human world, and then throw Qing Feng Mountain into the East China Sea. By then, not only would they not dare to close the mountain protection formation for fear of water entering, but all the disciples would have to recite the water avoidance spell before entering and leaving the mountain gate. After a long time, wouldn't they all become water creatures?
Grab the bamboo shoots!
"I've said all the nice things, but you're still not going to budge. Are you going to blackmail me?" Zi Yang Zhenren's face darkened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "My Zi Yang Xianzong is not a soft persimmon. It is one of the most famous sects in the human world. Sect Master Wen, it seems that today's matter can't be resolved peacefully. Let's have a fight and decide the winner first, then we can talk!"
Wen Rui had long expected that Master Zi Yang would do something desperate. Although cultivating immortals is not just about fighting and killing, it usually ends with fighting and killing.
Without even a fight, Master Zi Yang would surrender and he would no longer have to be the head of the sect.
"You were the first to start this. If you get your brains beaten into a dog's, don't go crying to your parents and complain that you were bullied by us again!"
Wen Rui sneered and said, "I have recorded the whole process. Even if we go to the Saint for judgment, we can't rule it as a fight. We are collecting debts in a civilized manner, and our counterattack is also legitimate defense!"
Zi Yang Zhenren no longer cared about anything else and ordered loudly: "Zi Yang disciples, listen to my order, take back the mountain gate for me!"
After saying that, he took out a magic weapon, which was a banner. The banner was in the shape of an umbrella. The ribs were made of the leg bones of various exotic animals, and the umbrella cover was covered with phoenix feathers.
Purple air rises from the banner and precious light shines, it is obvious at first glance that it is not an ordinary item.
Wen Ruike has seen this banner. Isn’t this the “Hunyuan Banner” of Lord Daode?
Many of the magic weapons of Lord Daode were bestowed on his disciples, such as the Eight-sided Bright Silver Hammer, the Heart-piercing Nail, and the Flower Basket, which were given to Huang Tianhua, and the Flying Lightning Gun and the Five Fires and Seven Birds Fan, which were given to Yang Ren. He was left with only the Hunyuan Banner and the Moye Sword.
However, he did not expect that he had given the Hunyuan Banner to Zi Yang Zhenren to suppress the fortune of Zi Yang Immortal Sect.
This banner is a magic weapon bestowed by Yuanshi Tianzun to Daode Zhenjun. It is a supreme treasure acquired after birth and should not be taken lightly.
However, this banner is not a killing magic weapon, otherwise Wen Rui would probably change his tune immediately and put Qingfengshan back in the same way he raised it.
True Man Zi Yang waved the Hun Yuan Banner, and suddenly there were thousands of rays of light and Hun Yuan purple energy spread out. Then, the Zi Yang elders who were surrounded by the sword net had disappeared without a trace.
"Eh, I can't sense any breath at all." Li Moxian was also stunned and asked in astonishment: "Did he get away?"
"Don't worry, Sister Li Mo, continue to maintain the sword net." Wen Rui immediately reminded: "The Hunyuan Banner emits the energy of the Three Elements of Hunyuan, which can block people's eyes and ears, shield spiritual consciousness, and hide traces. In addition, it can also shrink the earth into an inch, but they use it in the air, they can't use the ground veins to escape, they just hide their whereabouts." After being reminded by Wen Rui, Li Moshen continued to maintain the sword net blockade, and was not fooled into withdrawing.
The Zi Yang disciples on Qingfeng Mountain followed the order from their leader and flew out of the mountain gate one after another, attacking the giant golden boat. The giant boat also activated its defense shield. A translucent golden oval shield covered the huge ship, and dozens of hexagonal reinforced shields on the shield moved back and forth.
This is also a case of learning from others' experience to improve oneself. The defense method of the Dingguang Immortal Sect's Great Joy Yin-Yang Reversal Formation was borrowed to strengthen the shield to resist powerful attacks.
What makes these small shields better than the upgraded hexagonal shields of the Great Joy Yin-Yang Reversal Formation is that they can be freely combined and stacked, and can provide effective defense against both single-point powerful attacks and range powerful attacks.
The gun bay doors on the ship opened, and countless six-barreled revolver close-in defense guns flipped out, spewing flames under the control of Rocket and Jarvis.
Suddenly, the sky was filled with flames, and the giant ship suddenly turned into a fire-breathing hedgehog. The barrage of bullets was sprayed everywhere, and the sound of explosions was endless.
The Zi Yang disciple in the Jindan stage was the first to suffer. He was hit by a barrage of flaming whips from the close-in defense artillery. His protective spell was immediately shattered, his body was crackled, and he screamed and fell from the clouds.
However, these people were only injured but not killed. Wen Rui did not load the close-in defense gun with external bone warheads. The seemingly ferocious multi-barrel machine gun barrage was mainly for deterrence and soft killing. The Jindan who was hit was equivalent to an ordinary person being hit by an air gun bullet. It was very painful, but not life-threatening.
The Nascent Soul disciples who had returned to the Void and become gods used all their magical powers and flying swords, but they were all blocked by the defensive shields. The high-energy laser turrets of the giant ship locked them as targets. Red beams of light streaked across the sky, cutting scorching marks on the shields they held up.
If this high-energy laser fell on a Jindan cultivator, and happened to hit the unlucky guy with low fire resistance, it would really ignite him into a human-shaped torch. However, Wen Rui knew his limits and did not include Jindan in the attack target.
The Mahayana cultivator and two other immortal elders were all blocked by Li Moshen's sword net along with True Man Zi Yang. Even though they were invisible, they were unable to trick Li Moshen into removing the sword net, and they were unable to come to the rescue of their disciples.
The hangar hatch on the deck of the giant ship opened, and the Sword 20 formation controlled by a group of little demons took off. A total of 200 combat swords were launched, of which more than 50 were controlled by the little demons, and the rest were managed by Jarvis and Bing Linglong.
The Ultron robots were not suitable for this kind of high-altitude battlefield. Their slow flying speed made them sitting ducks for sword cultivators. In order to save the robot factory's production capacity, they were not sent out.
After the battle sword formation took off, it did not engage in a fight with the monks, but instead accelerated to high altitudes, patrolling for opportunities to drop spider web bombs, which exploded in the air into balls of tough webs that floated in the wind.
The fight was flashy, but in reality neither side had any casualties, and the scene looked evenly matched and exciting.
What Wen Rui was concerned about was the consumption of spirit stones in this battle. Once the mountain protection formation was activated, thousands of spirit stones would be consumed every minute. He could just put on a show with Zi Yang Immortal Sect and advertise his own giant ships for sale. If he continued to consume like this, he would end up losing money.
As for the outcome of this battle, as long as Li Moshen can hold back the immortal and Mahayana cultivators of Ziyang Immortal Sect, a group of Jindan, Yuanying, Fanxu and Huashen stage cultivators will really not be able to break the tortoise shell shield of the giant ship.
Zi Yang's disciples were unable to break the giant ship's shield, and Wen Rui held back and did not use any vicious killing moves, so the battle became a war of attrition to see which side would run out of spiritual power first.
Wen Rui did not intend to waste any more spirit stones. He opened the missile bay and countless missiles sprayed tail flames at the Zi Yang disciples who had surrounded the entire giant ship.
Although the missiles were fast, they were only okay against the slow-moving Western monks. They were still a little difficult to track down the immortal cultivators who were known for their agility. Very few of them hit the target, and many of them exploded prematurely after a while of pursuit. The explosive power was also very limited. A round of missile salvos was fired in vain and no success was achieved.
After dodging this wave of seemingly powerful missile salvos, the morale of Zi Yang's disciples was greatly boosted. They thought that the Jin Ling Sect's giant flying boat had run out of tricks and could no longer come up with any effective means of killing. The siege became more and more fierce, causing the shield to flash with colorful lights. Some sword cultivators even accumulated a swift sword and used the Moye sword technique to bypass the small shield and pierce the shield of the large formation, hitting the armor plate of the giant ship.
However, even though it penetrated the shield, the flying sword had lost a lot of kinetic energy and was already at the end of its strength. It got stuck when it pierced into the thick composite armor plate. Under the erosion of the nanorobots in the interlayer, it quickly lost control and became an ownerless flying sword, which was confiscated by Wen Rui.
After becoming invisible, True Man Zi Yang could no longer hold back, knowing that the other party understood the details of the Hunyuan Banner and would not be deceived into untying the sword net, so he shook the Hunyuan Banner again, condensed a stream of Hunyuan purple energy, and slammed it towards the sword net.
The purple air condensed like jade and hit the sword net. Li Moshen's breath stagnated, and the high-speed flying sword ball was bounced away. The sword net interwoven with golden light suddenly collapsed.
After breaking through the sword net, the high-level monks of Zi Yang Immortal Sect finally regained their freedom. The Hun Yuan Banner waved again and re-entered the invisible state, ready to appear in any corner of the battlefield at any time.
