Devour

Chapter 377 Sudden Attack

Inside the bridge building of the fleet's flagship Lingzhou, the atmosphere was warm and solemn.

"A perfect match is made in heaven, and harmony is worth more than gold!" Everyone present raised their wine glasses on the table and toasted to their allies in celebration.

Nie Ziqiong stood up with a beaming smile, raised his glass and toasted the witnesses in turn, saying loudly, "Thank you all for your sincere blessings. From now on, we will sign an alliance. All the sects and schools on Mount Xumi will unite as solid as a rock, unbreakable! Even if the Sun Chaser can roam the Three Realms, he will never set foot on the Five Continents again..."

Before he could finish his impassioned speech, his voice abruptly stopped. Ksitigarbha's handsome head suddenly flew off and separated from his body, his face still fixed in a confident and carefree smile.

The sudden killing shocked all the heroes present.

What no one expected was that the person who attacked and killed with such brutal brutality was Min Luer, who had been sitting silently in the seat next to Nie Ziqiong.

"Even though Emperor Nie's cultivation is still shallow, he is still a leader in the early stage of the Wu Nian realm. How can a junior follower kill him?"

Cheng Bai was horrified. Many puzzled thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning. Suddenly, everything clicked for him: "Even Tu He didn't notice the Creation Moth Fly last night, but a mere Heavenly Man Realm junior was able to find its trace!"

"When the Death Boat's Netherworld Path opened, besides Di Xuan, were there no other Sun Chasers along? Why were there two people possessed? Because there were two powerful invaders from the very beginning, one in the open, the other in the dark!"

"The human remains left after Li Fengrun's death were normal because he had long since left that corpse puppet body and was lurking on the other side of the Yellow Springs rotten earth, relaying the exact location of his target to Di Xuan. It wasn't simply due to the intense fighting that exposed his location... but that's not entirely true! He's been holding back until now because he wants to lure more of the Emperor's sons in and capture them all in one fell swoop!"

While Cheng Bai was lost in thought, Min Lu'er on the other side suddenly attacked.

The terrifying aura hidden deep within him could no longer be concealed, and the power of all things surged, so powerful that it was suffocating.

"A powerful enemy is invading!" Yao Yingying's secret technique immediately sensed the terrifying danger and she cried out in horror. She raised her right hand slightly, and with a flick of her slender jade finger, she shot out five explosive fireballs in succession.

The dazzling flames danced like a spirit, whistling around Nie Ziqiong's shaky body, turning a corner and shooting towards Min Lu'er. However, before it could hit its target, the fireball suddenly extinguished and disappeared, forcefully obliterated by an invisible force.

Cheng Bai immediately recognized the secret technique he had seen in the Nine-Layered Abyss: "Elemental Suppression! It turns out that this spell can not only suppress others, but also be used to conceal one's strength and disguise oneself."

At the table next to Min Lu'er, Jin Lian quickly unleashed her Cang Xian sword and unleashed the "Jade Bones Proud of Winter" technique from the Jin Mei sword technique. The sword's light traced a graceful arc, and the resilient sword energy, brimming with anger, blossomed into beautiful, shimmering ice flowers that rapidly spread and surrounded Min Lu'er.

However, the spell-like effects created by sword energy were also a type of energy that could be suppressed, and the degree of impact was slightly smaller than that of earth, water, fire, and wind. As soon as it approached the target, the attack power was greatly reduced!

Min Lu'er ignored the remaining sword energy and dispersed it with his spiritual power. He stared at Ningxiang who was sitting diagonally opposite him, and with a slight shake of his wrist, he shot out a jade green arc-shaped electric light, which slashed straight towards her.

Cheng Bai reacted extremely quickly and took the initiative to sacrifice the Golden Pagoda, which hovered above his head, forming a solid elemental barrier and covering it with condensed fragrance.

Li Tong on his left hand issued a warning: "The opponent is using the 'Wood Soul Thunder', which is a high-level technique and three levels higher than the palm thunder!"

As one of the most powerful primordial forces between heaven and earth, lightning has been revered by all creatures since ancient times. As far as we know, it can come in five colors: white, blue, purple, red, and gold.

Cheng Bai had never experienced the jade green lightning technique before. He was shocked and cried out inwardly, "Not good!"

The lightning collided violently with the elemental barrier, and the space was instantly distorted as the lightning splashed, and the protective shield was shattered on the spot.

You must know that although Cheng Bai is not enough to unleash the full power of the immortal weapon, there are very few enemies that can break through this layer of defense. If they appear, they must be a top-notch saint master, and they are not comparable to ordinary saints.

Min Lu'er then unleashed a second blast of jade-green lightning, sharp as a knife, striking Ningxiang's delicate neck. His face contorted, a ferocious grin etched across his face as he asked, "With a broken tortoise shell, can you still defend yourself?"

Jinlian was so anxious that cold sweat broke out on her forehead. She unleashed the Golden Plum Sword Technique with the Cangxian Sword in her hand, using the move "Hoping All Flowers Shame on the Falling" to strike Min Lu'er. The sword's light flickered, bright as the twinkling stars in the night sky, dim as the flickering light of a candle, and the sword's power was ten thousand times stronger than Chang Yufeng's!

Many masters present came to their senses, realized the cruel situation, and began to use their best skills to join the fierce battle.

Various martial arts techniques came overwhelmingly, some were like violent storms, some were chillingly cold, and some were scorching hot and violent, all of them contained astonishing power.

Kua E's resonant fist force was extremely powerful. Every move brought about bursts of whistling and vibrating the air, like a raging tide.

Minjin's flaming sword energy erupted fiercely, instantly igniting the void, and the raging flames burned everything they encountered to ashes.

Zhai Xufei's wind blade was swift and powerful, and the nine heads sprayed in succession like a torrential rain, interweaving into a net that shattered the sky and cracked the earth.

Bei Tingjun's ice sword was sharp and piercing, like a cold wind from purgatory. Wherever it went, the air condensed into frost, and then turned into ice swords again in an endless cycle.

The sword formations of the elders of Beiling Sword Sect are majestic and varied, with sword shadows crisscrossing and difficult to grasp, converging into a vortex of magic power that is both offensive and defensive.

Yao Yingying's Blazing Flame Mark was even more stunning, her rotating wind and fire under her control, her destructive power far surpassing others...

However, facing the siege, Min Lu'er showed no fear. He put his palms together and pushed outwards fiercely. A strange chant echoed melodiously: "Never!"

All the powerful moves and profound techniques were abruptly suppressed by this one move like a candle in the wind, and then easily extinguished by a divine thought.

Unwilling to accept defeat, Jinlian gritted her teeth and was about to unleash her third attack to try and reverse the situation, but Zixuan desperately tugged at her armor, forcing her to retreat. Shocked and furious, she cried, "Zixuan, why are you stopping me?"

Zi Xuan was sweating profusely and frantically advised, "You can't beat him! His realm is too high. If you challenge him rashly, you will die!"

Qian Buduo, who retreated with him, was so frightened that his face turned pale, and he trembled slightly and dared not say a word.

Seeing that all the heroes were forced to retreat, Min Luer laughed wildly, "Poor, vulnerable creatures! Hahahaha..."

The laughter suddenly stopped. Min Lu'er was shocked to find that Ningxiang, who should have been beheaded by the lightning, was still standing next to Cheng Bai unharmed.

"Huh? This... can achieve double cycle protection? I underestimated you!" Min Luer came to his senses and calmly found the root cause of the mistake. Two consecutive attacks were not enough to completely break through the defense of the magic weapon.

Cheng Bai stepped in front of Ning Xiang and asked sternly, "Who are you? A member of the Sun Chaser, right?"

Nie Ziqiong, the leader who was preparing to unite the monks from the five continents to fight against the Sun Chaser, was killed in public. This was undoubtedly an extremely ironic demonstration and a heavy blow!

"I, Lord Tan, am the Vanguard General of the Sun Chaser Legion. Di Xuan serves as my adjutant." The Sun Chaser, possessing a human body, was cold and arrogant, speaking to himself nonchalantly. "The sun shines brightly, and all spirits bow to it. All the monarchs and leaders will gather together for this grand event, and be buried together on the same ship. What greater honor could there be?"

Tan Gong spoke, clapping his palms together and launching a fierce attack. Wood Soul Thunder surged like a torrent, shooting out dozens of arcing blades of lightning that blasted the air white. Each ray of light could split mountains and open abysses, and the combo attack spared no chance of respite, vowing to shred the two people in front and behind into powder at the same time.

The continuous offensive is so terrifying that even the double defense of Shengjin Tower may not be able to withstand it!

"Foreign enemies are invading!" Outside the bridge tower, many disciples of the Beiling Sword Sect realized the fierce battle belatedly and gathered together with their swords in hand to try to provide support.

Before they reached the entrance of the hall, a warm breeze suddenly blew through the bridge, like an invisible wall containing gentle force, forcing all those who approached back to their original positions.

Cheng Bai saw that the situation was critical and his heart almost jumped out of his throat. He almost turned into a tyrant and used his last trump card - the Temple of Life.

If he fails to defend himself, Cheng Bai can still rely on the resurrection rune to keep a glimmer of hope, but the girl behind him is not so lucky!

Fortunately, accidents happened one after another. As soon as Mu Hun’s lightning and thunder were launched, they were immediately blocked by a person who suddenly appeared.
