Chapter 703: Encirclement

Chapter 703 -520: Encirclement

Lu Qian took a deep breath, feeling somewhat unstable.

As the commander-in-chief, he must always maintain a clear understanding of the situation. The current situation is actually not optimistic.

Having fought with the Golden Core Masters until now, and with the previous consumption of the Pseudo-Divine Techniques being greater than he imagined, his spiritual power and divine sense are nearly depleted.

Although Master Xuan Jing and Master Yaoming’s aura has diminished, they are legitimate Golden Core Masters and have long been ruling a county, accumulating considerable wealth, with many trump cards in their hands.

Though he still has two treasures, the Innate Rejuvenation Pill and the Sumeru Spirit Treasure Pearl, these are his items for calamity and cannot be used rashly here.

Meanwhile, his senior sister is also struggling. The Yunshan disciples are still insufficient in experience, having started with full force under the Dao patterns, pushing aggressively, achieving good results, but now their state is likely declining.

The enemy’s main forces are encircling, with seventeen or eighteen Foundation Establishment cultivators and over twenty floating battleships gathering. The Yunshan Sect cultivators, lacking three heads and six arms, cannot withstand it!

No good, why hasn’t the North Province County’s fools marched yet?!

With a change in thought, Lu Qian’s intention to retreat arose. Once he sent out the signal, he moved to retreat.

Master Xuan Jing shouted loudly: “Scoundrel, don’t flee!”

The Profound Ice Treasure Mirror again shot out a dazzling beam, sweeping across the air, condensing frost blossoms, and aiming straight at Lu Qian.

Master Yaoming touched his chest with a cold face, reluctantly placing it down, and then pulled out a sparkling red hairpin, transforming it into a long rainbow shooting towards Lu Qian.

Lu Qian forced himself to stay alert, and once more in the Five Elements Grand Array, spiritual qi radiated. Fortunately, activating the recorded array transformation in the Array Map does not require much divine sense, so it could still be used.

However, the consumption of Spirit Crystals is truly painful; since the battle began, over 150 Spirit Crystals have been expended, equivalent to 180,000 to 190,000 Spirit Stones. Even with Yunshan Sect’s thirty-year rich accumulation, able to endure such spending, he only carried 300 Spirit Crystals, and once exhausted, there will be none left.

With the attack approaching, various distracting thoughts were suppressed, Lu Qian released another move of Three Thousand Weak Waters, the murky yellow current swirling in the air, forming a giant vortex to shield himself temporarily, staving off the attacks of two magical treasures, but his retreat actions were directly interrupted.

Below, having received Lu Qian’s immediate retreat transmission, Jiang Qingfeng transmitted the command without hesitation throughout the divine ship.

“Switch positions front and back, continue advancing!”

“Break the encirclement, turn for retreat!”

At this moment, six divine ships charged forward, entangled with the front enemies, while the enemy’s main forces had encircled from behind. Retreating back would be like walking into a trap; only by fighting forward, breaking through obstacles, and relying on the divine ship’s excellent mobility could they successfully withdraw.

Upon receiving the order, the divine ship immediately abandoned the entangling enemies, three ships carrying inner sect disciples initially advancing forward, slightly slowing their escape speed, allowing the other three to launch forward, replacing in the rearguard position.

Naturally, the enemy wouldn’t allow the divine ship to leave and furiously entangled them, firing while maneuvering; dense spiritual light beams exploded in the air, thunderous cannon fire incessantly, large swathes of stunned fish floated in the Cold River.

The divine ship, relying on fierce firepower and nimble bodies, set two enemy ships aflame turning them into fireballs, completed the changeover, but one ship was seriously damaged and its escape speed greatly reduced.

Reluctantly, the Yunshan disciples had to fly up from this divine ship and retreat towards others.

The scene suddenly turned chaotic, amidst sky-high beams and attacks, Yunshan disciples’ flying spiritual artifacts were occasionally exploded in mid-air, crashing with screams into the Cold River.

Even worse, Yunshan Sect’s five had just disposed of two remaining enemies trapped in the array realm, fifteen enemy Foundation Establishment cultivators charged in. If entangled by them, not a single divine ship could break free! All three hundred disciples would be trapped here!

Jiang Qingfeng had no choice but to shout: “Follow me!”

Jiang Qingfeng, Jiang Baitao, Xiao Tianci, Li Da, and Wang Ruoyu turned to face the enemy, confronting fifteen Junle Foundation Establishment!

Wang Ruoyu charged ahead, raising a giant shield, gritting his teeth, using “Indestructible” again. Golden light descended from the sky, constructing a tenacious light wall before him.

Li Da pulled with his right hand, the Wuqu Puppet clad in heavy armor, wielding poison-coated twin blades charging fiercely into the enemy formation. His left hand swung, throwing more than ten vials, exploding with crackles, filled with thick poison clouds veiling the enemy’s sight.

Xiao Tianci took a deep breath, grasping the sword hilt. Jiang Baitao and Beiluo Shimen stood side by side, the Array Realm of the Five Elements Grand Array expanded again, Beiluo Shimen’s pupils shimmering.

Meanwhile, Jiang Qingfeng clasped her palms together, within her Dantian, Dao patterns shook.

The ice armor upon her clanged, her dragon horns radiating light, a deep buzzing vibration suddenly resonated in the air, chilling frosts expanding from her as the center, ice droplets condensed from moisture in the air, clattering downwards.

Both sides clashed!

Fifteen Foundation Establishment cultivators simultaneously attacked, with magical artifacts, magic techniques, talismans swirling everywhere, inscrutable secret techniques, and Dao patterns boldly invoked.

The seemingly indestructible golden light wall shattered after a brief moment, the fierce attack rained down like a downpour, the giant shield in Wang Ruoyu’s hands exploded instantly, his towering figure flew backward, spewing a mouthful of blood in the air!
