Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal-Chapter 212 - 202 Outrageous
"How is that possible!?"
Zuo Chuan’s thought process seemed to pause for a moment.
The Twelve-Layer Defense Formation.
Even the weakest was of the Sixth Level.
With such a powerful defense, it should be impossible for it to be breached so easily, even if hit head-on by the Yin Yang Disintegration Technique.
Unless the opponent had mobilised over a hundred Third Rank Great Technique Cultivators working together.
But...
How is that possible!?
The combined number of Third Rank Great Technique Cultivators from the Sea Fortification Courtyard and the Sword Execution Courtyard didn’t even reach a hundred, and they had scouted in advance. The number of enemy Technique Cultivators was indeed only about thirty-something. Even if some of them had hidden their abilities, practicing both the sword and techniques, let’s say they had fifty Technique Cultivators in total.
But that would still only be half the number of a hundred.
Furthermore, let alone that their perception of the Yin Yang Disintegration Technique was equivalent to that of thirty-something people joining forces, a combined technique cast by a larger number of people would require more time!
The opponent had cast the Yin Yang Disintegration Technique in less than twenty minutes...
Clearly, it wasn’t a hundred people acting together!
"It’s broken! The formation is broken!"
"Not good! Repel the enemy!"
"Flying swords are coming!"
The panic-stricken shouts jerked Zuo Chuan awake from his state of disbelief and shock.
"Be careful! Everyone, act to fend off the flying swords!"
Zuo Chuan shouted loudly, soaring into the air.
Whether he was willing to accept it or not, the fact was right before his eyes.
What he really had to do now was to try his best to ensure the safety of everyone on the Celestial Warship.
As he rushed into the Void, he also gave orders to his deputy, "Contact the cultivators of the Heavenly Palace, call for reinforcements from nearby combat teams!"
"Yes!"
The deputy, upon receiving the order, immediately stimulated his Divine Sense.
But just as they tried to establish a link with their Sect’s Heavenly Palace Cultivators, a surge of Divine Sense so powerful it seemed to dominate the battlefield swept across, scattering all their attempts.
At the same time, led by Tang Fenghua, more than twenty Sword Cultivators who had deliberately conserved some of their strength descended fiercely, cutting through the scant Sword Cultivator resistance like a knife through butter, and shot towards where the Primordial Spirit Cultivators were located.
"Nine Cauldrons Sect! How dare you! You are seeking a full-scale war with our Great Sun Sword Sect!"
Zuo Chuan let out an angry roar, immediately activating the emergency defensive formation on the Celestial Warship, designed only for a few key departments.
"Ha!"
Tang Fenghua’s expression was frosty.
Full-scale war!?
If the Nine Cauldrons Sect was indeed very weak, there might be a possibility of war befalling them.
But as long as the Nine Cauldrons Sect continued to show sufficient strength, war would instead be unlikely to happen to them.
Watching the emergency formation that had been activated, Tang Fenghua was about to make a move when he received very timely guidance from Alkaid in his Divine Sense.
Immediately, out of the twenty-odd flying swords that were shooting forth, three separated and chased after the energy fluctuations emitted by the formation with the speed of thunder, precisely hitting the most critical nodes and destroying the formation.
This level of precision strike...
Finally made Zuo Chuan realize something.
"Array Master!"
There was an Array Master in the Sea Fortification Courtyard!
This content is taken from fгeewebnovёl.com.
And...
It was a Grandmaster Level Formation!
No, that’s not right!
Even a Grandmaster Level Array Master might not have this kind of ability!
After all, the twelve defensive formations on their Celestial Warship covered several levels and included several different types.
Even a master of formation arrays could not possibly be proficient in all Sixth Level formations!
The only real possibility was that the opponent not only had a Grandmaster Level Array Master but also obtained prior intelligence about the formations on the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship through spies and had targeted and deciphered these formations in advance.
That would also explain why the opponent could destroy all twelve defensive formations on their Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship with a single Yin Yang Disintegration Technique!
And just as he realized the "true nature" of the situation, more than ten of the twenty-odd flying swords had already broken through the blockade and entered the camp of the Primordial Spirit Cultivators.
At this moment, the Primordial Spirit Cultivators’ vulnerability was laid bare for Alkaid to see.
Facing the assault of the Great Sword Cultivators’ flying swords, none of them could withstand even a single strike.
Wherever the Sword Qi went, blood rained down!
All twelve Primordial Spirit Cultivators on the entire Celestial Warship were killed instantly without exception!
"No!"
Zuo Chuan let out a scream of pain, almost identical to that of Xuanming Sect’s Sect Master Song You.
He exploded with all his might, striking the heavens with his sword, attempting to bring down the rampaging flying swords amidst the crowd.
But with Alkaid’s guidance, Tang Fenghua’s Lifebound Flying Sword had already met his attack.
Tang Fenghua’s Lifebound Flying Sword was a Purple Cloud 15 improved model, a true Fourth Generation Flying Sword, even more advanced than the one Zuo Chuan wielded.
The key was...
He had the support of three other Great Sword Cultivators.
Together, Zuo Chuan was no match, and his Lifebound Flying Sword quickly gained two notches.
While the four of them besieged him, other Sword Cultivators created a storm of Sword Qi.
Although the Spring Rain’s Sword Cultivators occasionally fought desperately, most were already at the end of their strength.
Add to that the constant interference of Alkaid’s Divine Sense, the combat effectiveness they could muster was even inferior to that of Technique Cultivators.
As for the Technique Cultivators...
As the thirty-six Technique Cultivators of Sea Fortification Courtyard jointly unleashed the second spell, the Annihilating Purple Light, those without the protection of a formation were quickly eliminated.
The battle in the arena, though not a one-sided slaughter, was definitely one where one side completely overpowered the other.
Especially after the Primordial Spirit Cultivators were killed, combined with the absolute dominance of the Sea Fortification Courtyard’s Primordial Spirit Cultivators on the battlefield, Zuo Chuan could not even send out a call for help.
"Sea Fortification Courtyard! Sea Fortification Courtyard!"
Zuo Chuan dashed left and right, feeling the utmost grief and indignation.
Although the Sea Fortification Courtyard of the Nine Cauldrons Sect couldn’t compare in quality with the Sword Execution Courtyard in terms of Sword Cultivators and Technique Cultivators, in terms of Divine Cultivators, they were a level higher than those of Sword Execution Courtyard and even all the elite Battle Courtyards of the Great Sun Sword Sect.
Based solely on the strength of its Divine Cultivators, the Courtyard could even be considered the number one on the Heavenly Star Continent.
By conservative estimates, there were no less than a handful of Fifth Rank Primordial Spirit Cultivators within it.
Moreover, this Battle Courtyard was even equipped with a Grandmaster Level Array Master...
This was a treasure meant to be guarded in the far rear!
To deploy an Array Master to the front lines was an act of wasteful extravagance!
Yet, Sea Fortification Courtyard did just that!
It was precisely because of this bizarre personnel disposition that they suffered a crushing defeat with their Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship!
Feeling his outburst growing weaker by the moment, Zuo Chuan realized his impending doom.
Looking at the Chief of the Sea Fortification Courtyard, who still had not shown himself in the distance, he finally understood why the Limitless Star Palace was willing to pay such a high price for him.
Alas...
He no longer had the strength to complete the mission entrusted to him.
No!
He might not be able to complete it, but at least...
He had to make sure others did.
With this thought, Zuo Chuan let out a cry filled with reluctance and determination, "The Sect will avenge me!"
He activated the last of his True Yuan, thrusting his sword toward the heavens.
A violent surge of Sword Qi burst forth, as if it would transform into a radiance that pierced through heaven and earth, reaching into the firmament.
This radiance, carrying his resolute will, could not only notify the Heavenly Palace Cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Sect of his current position but also warn them of the threat posed by Sea Fortification Courtyard!
But...
With that column of Sword Qi soaring into the sky, Alkaid instantaneously contacted Murong Hui through the "Void Divine Realm."
Murong Hui, in a Divine Sense standoff with the Heavenly Palace Cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Sect, made a show of preparing a powerful spell after receiving the message from Alkaid.
Of course, the grand show was Murong Hui’s responsibility, but the actual move was made by Alkaid.
Together, they forced the Heavenly Palace Cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Sect into retreat, to the point where they couldn’t even make out the light that flashed over the Eastern Sea.
Within the Sword Qi.
Tang Fenghua’s Lifebound Flying Sword tore through Zuo Chuan’s body like lightning.
The other Great Sword Cultivators also swiftly took care of the remaining Great Sun Sword Sect cultivators on the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship.
Soon, Wang Feng led the Great Sword Cultivators to secure their footing on the warship.
Joy filled every face.
They felt it was almost unbelievable. Experience tales at novelbuddy
"Did... did we just win?"
Their Sea Fortification Courtyard...
Not only had they decisively defeated a Celestial Warship, but they had eradicated all the experts on board and directly captured the warship!?
It was even a more advanced Second Generation Celestial Warship than the one they had purchased from the Myriad Beasts Sect!?
"A Celestial Warship!"
Upon landing on the warship, Tang Fenghua’s eyes were filled with uncontrollable joy.
Capturing a moving fortress-like Celestial Warship was a feat equivalent to destroying an entire Sect!
Did they, the Sea Fortification Courtyard, accomplish this with just their own strength?
Who would believe that!?
"Sea Fortification Courtyard, not even considered an elite Battle Courtyard, not only crushed a Celestial Warship but also captured it? That’s preposterous!"
Some Great Sword Cultivators couldn’t help but shout excitedly.
"I know that everyone has expended a lot, and your spirits are extremely exhausted, but please, hold on a bit longer. I will guide you to quickly pilot this Celestial Warship away!"
Alkaid’s Divine Sense rang out in everyone’s minds at once.
"Not at all! The expense is not great at all! As long as I can bring this Celestial Warship back, I would be willing to die from exhaustion!"
"Right, right, Chief, I’m still full of energy, you command us to your heart’s content, we’re not tired!"
"Piloting a Celestial Warship, ah! I never thought I, Yue Zhanlong, would have such a day! Chief, please feel free to command us!"
One after another, the Great Sword Cultivators responded.
Despite the True Yuan in their bodies being nearly depleted, their spirits showed no signs of the exhaustion mentioned by Alkaid.
On the contrary, they were all vibrant and showed no hint of fatigue or weariness.
"Alright!"
Alkaid was decisive, quickly ordering Tang Fenghua to activate the warship’s inherent stealth formation.
Meanwhile, he directed Wang Feng and others to start up the Celestial Warship.
As for himself, he directly deployed an information blackout domain, erasing the warship from the informational realm.
Amidst the roar of the engines, the Celestial Warship reignited and set course for the Nine Cauldrons Sect.
And with the capture of this warship, shortly after it set off towards the Nine Cauldrons Sect, the Heavenly Palace Cultivators of the Great Sun Sword Sect seemed to realize the gravity of the situation, concentrating all their power to break through the Nine Cauldrons Sect’s interference in the area.
For this, they even sought help from the Limitless Star Palace without hesitation.
However, by the time the reinforcements from the Limitless Star Palace arrived, it was already over a dozen minutes later; not only had the battle long since ended, but there was also no sign of the Spring Rain-class Celestial Warship whatsoever.
It was as if...
It had never existed at all.
