Chapter 296

296 Chapter 295-bandits?

Lu Chaohe was the first to realize that something was wrong.

Chaohe had recently entered the spirit gathering holy temple once and had already entered the late initial enlightenment stage. He was a cultivator at the seventh level of the initial enlightenment stage. In addition, he also mastered a rare magical power of the initial enlightenment stage. His combat power should be considered top among his peers.

On one hand, his family really needed an expert to come forward and deter evil people. On the other hand, he had just entered spirit gathering holy temple, which was equivalent to ten years of hard cultivation without even seeing the sun. It was not easy for him to have a breakthrough in his cultivation. Now that he had the opportunity, he decided to take a walk and experience the scenery of the South.

Originally, he had really looked forward to it on the way here. If a few blind people would jump out and Rob them, he would have a chance to show off his skills.

And when this scene arrived, there was no sense of excitement on his face.

Someone’s here to Rob us, but it’s not some random guy.

He could sense that at least five powerful experts were surrounding them from all directions.

The ambushers seemed to be riding on some small flying shuttles. Although it wasn’t big, it was much faster than their large flying boat.

The airboat that the cultivators of the Lu clan and the sects were on was not of good quality. It mainly transported goods. It could carry a lot of people, but it was not very fast.

“Tell everyone on the ship to be on high alert.” Lu Chaohe instructed Ming Ling as he flew to the side of the flying boat and looked into the distance.

Lu Chaohe could not see anything under the thick clouds. However, he could clearly sense that in this direction, there was a person who had already reached the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage and was approaching aggressively.

They came with ill intentions.

Suddenly, Lu chaoxi’s expression changed. He suddenly sensed that there was a power that belonged to a formation brewing around the flying boat!

This was an ambush!

He couldn’t be bothered to look into the distance and quickly ran to the core of the Flying Ship’s array. He personally took charge and activated the Flying Ship’s defensive array.

It had to be said that Lu chaoxi was very sensitive to the power of the formation.

After he activated the protective array of the Flying Ship, the clouds around the Flying Ship quickly gathered and turned dark at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Then, lightning flashed and Thunder rumbled. The terrifying lightning in the clouds struck the protective array of the flying boat with crackling sounds.

Lu Chaohe’s expression changed again and again.

The power of this formation was a little beyond his imagination.

He used all of his spiritual power to resist the first wave. Then, he immediately sent a message.

“Fang Ziliang! Quickly come and help!”

The Fang Ziliang that he was calling out to was a cultivator in the middle stage of the initial enlightenment stage who had been sent by the sect to escort the goods.

Lu Chaohe felt that he would not be able to handle it alone and needed help.

In fact, Fang Ziliang had also sensed the enemy’s attack. After receiving Lu Chaohe’s request, he immediately followed Chaohe’s instructions and entered the formation. He walked into the position that had been arranged for him.

At the same time, there were many cultivators of different strengths on other ships.

Everyone’s power was quickly linked to the protective array of the Flying Ship. After being struck by lightning bolts frequently, the semi-transparent protective shield beside the airboat became a bit unstable. After receiving a large amount of replenishments, the situation finally stabilized.

But soon, the second and third wave of lightning strikes came.

At this point, Lu Chaohe had no choice but to stop the power supply of the flying boat’s power system and direct all the energy into the protective array.

He felt great pressure.

The second and third wave of lightning strikes were much stronger than the first.

It was obvious that one of the five initial enlightenment cultivators who had revealed their aura outside had entered the lightning array that had ambushed them and started to control the array, causing the power of the entire array to increase greatly.

There were probably two Qiming’s who were in charge of the array, and they were both very skilled array Masters. Otherwise, they could not be so strong.

Fortunately, he had made the wise decision to ask for help. Otherwise, he would not have been able to hold on for long.

However, Lu Chaohe did not relax at all even though he had managed to withstand the continuous lightning strikes.

Now, almost all the power in the flying boat was invested in the defensive array, and there was almost no strength to respond. However, in comparison, there were at least three initial enlightenment cultivators and an unknown number of other cultivators among the menacing enemies.

In the midst of his worry and nervousness, a question inevitably popped up in Lu Chaohe’s mind: “Who is the attacker?”

This question was not important to the current situation. Regardless of the identity of the attackers, they were obviously not here to play around.

However, no matter what, how could a force like the Tao Wu be a nobody? they were able to send out five initial enlightenment cultivators at once, accurately judge and predict their return route, and set up an array to ambush them.

Bandits? Nonsense. He had never heard of any bandits in the Yan country who had such a level of power.

This must be a famous force!

In fact, Yunxiao sect’s name even flashed across Lu Chaohe’s mind.

First, he would make a deal with the Lu family. Then, after the deal was made, he would play dirty on the way and earn a piece of Divine Tree of destiny and hundreds of thousands of spiritual stones. Wouldn’t this business be great?

However, the Yunxiao sect had always prided itself on being an Orthodox sect. Would they be so black-hearted? So uncultured?

As he was lost in his thoughts, the fourth and fifth wave of lightning strikes came.

The Dharma array of the flying boat was still able to withstand it.

However, Lu Chaohe could also sense that two small flying shuttles, one on the left and one on the right, were approaching their flying boat. Three initial enlightenment cultivators, including the one at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage, had already flown out. Two of them were on the left and one on the right as they approached the swift Boat.

What were they trying to do?

The protective array of the Flying Ship was still there!

Just as he had this thought, he suddenly felt that the strongest enemy on the left seemed to take out something. Then, a small hole was cut in the protective array he was controlling.

This small opening didn’t seem to have any destructive effect on the defensive array itself. The lightning from the surrounding dark clouds was still blocked by the protective array.

However, the most terrifying thing was that the cultivator at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage himself seemed to have floated in through this small gap!

Tao Wu, a ninth-tier initial enlightenment cultivator, was almost at the peak of the initial enlightenment stage. If he ignored the protective array and entered the flying boat, he would start a massacre. Who could stop him?

...

Lu Chaohe had no other choice. He gritted his teeth and said to Fang Ziliang, who was beside him, ” Junior Brother Ziliang, take good care of the formation. I’ll go stop the enemy!

Fang Ziliang had obviously sensed the enemy’s invasion. His face was already a little pale, but he still tried to calm himself down and said, ” senior brother Lu, please go. I’ll try my best to maintain it.

But in fact, his heart was filled with despair.

He did not know if Lu Chaohe could block that ninth-tier initial enlightenment cultivator, but he felt that Lu Chaohe would most likely not be able to block the two levels of difference in their cultivation.

The later the levels, the greater the gap between each level. It was common for cultivators in the refinement stage to challenge those at a higher level. Foundation establishment cultivators were relatively rare, but if there was a difference of one or two levels, it wouldn’t be too big of a problem to fight.

However, at Qiming’s level, the difference between each level would become much greater. Only if one had a very good method to counter it, or had an overwhelming advantage in magic artifacts, equipment, or cultivation techniques, would there be a chance to challenge someone of a higher level.

However, the higher the level of a cultivator, the more they would not lack these things. High-level cultivators often had many tricks up their sleeves, which meant that they were difficult to deal with. Usually, they were also relatively well-off, which meant that they would not lack magic tools and equipment.

It was too difficult to challenge someone of a higher level.

But what could Fang Ziliang do? He could only trust Lu Chaohe.

However, even if Lu Chaohe could block that opponent at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage, so what? Without Lu Chaohe, who was a late-stage initial enlightenment and a master of formations, the effectiveness of the defensive formation would be significantly reduced. He had no confidence that he could withstand the lightning strikes that were coming at him without any rest.

Lu Chaohe could not care about that now. After he left the core of the formation, he could clearly feel that the entire flying ship had begun to shake and some parts were beginning to show signs of damage from the lightning strikes.

...

He was very worried about Fang Ziliang’s situation, but he still had to come out. Furthermore, he very quickly ran into the ninth-level initial enlightenment opponent who had infiltrated the flying boat.

The man was wearing a pale white mask without any markings, only revealing a pair of eyes.

When the two of them met, the other party did not give Lu Chaohe any chance to speak. He immediately attacked.

The three white beads were flicked and flew toward Lu Chaohe.

Chaohe did not let his guard down and did not plan to use his defensive magic tool to block the masked man’s attack. These three beads were completely unfamiliar to Lu Chaohe. The best solution was to think of other ways to get rid of them in advance.

He immediately activated his gravity god art. When the three white beads had just flown out, he had already captured them with his gravity god art. Then, with a thought, gravity pressed down. Lu Chaohe’s original intention was to crush the three white beads. He did not expect the three white beads to suddenly explode!

The surging white flames rolled out wildly.

Lu Chaohe did not try to control the explosion with his gravity divine power. He merely summoned a level three Jade suppression plate and held it in front of him, blocking the White flames that were swarming toward him.

He wasn’t affected too much. After all, the white flame beads didn’t explode on his face. Instead, they were crushed by his gravity divine power. The remaining shockwaves were definitely not enough to break through his defensive Dharma artifact.

Even so, Lu Chaohe could still sense the other party’s strength from the aftershock of the move.

This white flame had an extremely strong burning property. Even if it was just the aftermath, it had already set the Jade suppression plate on fire.

The entire Jade suppression plate was covered in flames, and it was still trying to burn inward.

Fortunately, the Jade suppression plate that the Lu family was producing now also incorporated the essence of the star power weapons produced in the secret realm ‘beyond the starry sky’. This kind of star power attribute was rare in the world and had a special nature. When used on weapons, it could make it difficult for ordinary means in the cultivation world to block it, and achieve the effect of breaking the defense. When used on a defensive shield, it could clearly strengthen its defensive power, making it difficult for ordinary means to penetrate.

The white flame had really burned for nothing.

At the same time, Lu Chaohe also used his earth spiritual power to quickly put out the flames on the shield.

When he raised his head again, that ninth-tier initial enlightenment opponent, Wan Wan, was actually retreating?

Lu Chaohe thought for a moment and understood.

It wasn’t that the other party felt that he couldn’t beat him, but that he could see that his move just now should be in the category of divine power.

The masked man had initially thought that with his abilities at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage, he would be able to defeat Lu Chaohe easily. However, when he saw that Lu Chaohe had actually mastered a divine power, things were different.

Perhaps he could still win, but it would obviously add a little risk for nothing.

The other party didn’t want that.

Instead of fighting this battle, which originally had a 95% chance of winning, now had dropped to 70%, why not turn back and wait for his two companions to catch up. Then, the three of them would join forces. Wouldn’t that be a sure win?

Why would he need a 70% chance of winning a battle that he was sure to win?

Instead, Lu Chaohe could not let the other party escape.

If he didn’t take advantage of this guy’s overconfidence and the opportunity to get rid of him when he broke away and rushed in alone, he would have no chance of winning when the three of them really worked together.

Thus, Lu Chaohe gritted his teeth and activated his gravity divine power with all his might. He immediately grabbed the masked man.

His eyes could not see through the mask, so he naturally could not see the other party’s reaction. However, Lu Chaohe could also feel that the other party’s spiritual energy had started to surge outward in an attempt to break free from his control.

But he didn’t succeed.

“What?” A voice filled with shock and anger came from behind the mask.

The masked man used all his spirit energy, but he couldn’t break free. This was something he didn’t expect.

This shouldn’t be the case!

There was nothing wrong with that. Lu Chaohe had the ‘Earth Spirit body’. With the help of the spirit body, his control over earth spiritual power was very strong. The power that was controlling the gravity ability was his earth spiritual power. With the two combined, and the uniqueness of the magical power, it was not an inconceivable thing to firmly hold this ninth level initial enlightenment opponent.

Lu Chaohe was clearly capable of doing more than that.

The gravity divine ability continued to press down on the ninth-stage initial enlightenment cultivator from all directions, crazily compressing towards a single point inside the masked man.

The masked man couldn’t see his own face, and no one could see it, but he could feel that his face must have been red from holding it in.

Now, it was no longer a problem of whether he could break free or not. If he couldn’t resist the gravity of this kind of squeezing, he was afraid that he would immediately be squeezed into a lump of meat!

He realized that he had underestimated the power of the divine Art in the initial enlightenment stage!
