Chapter 461

"Arrogant!!"

Gorgeous Scales Long Wave was unable to contain anger, roaring out loud.

In his heart, besides anger, there was also an irrepressible helplessness.

It was just because of one act of contempt that led to injury, causing prestige to plummet, and even "helped" Yunhe gain such prestige and status.

In fact, at that time he was not completely incapable of fighting again; even in his view, if he had fought desperately, he might have been able to kill Yunhe.

However, the situation at the time simply did not allow him to linger; otherwise, once surrounded by the arriving human Yuan Ying Cultivators, he would likely meet a grim fate.

Such a powerful formation should not be confined to a set of pearls; if one could master this formation, the enhancement of strength for all sea clan cultivators would be obvious.

But such a possibility is very low.

He showed a smile, "It seems the gap among you human Yuan Ying Cultivators is not small either, ah!"

Yunhe clasped his hands towards the Yuan Ying Cultivator beside him.

Moreover, there is also the mighty Five Elements Sword Ancestor leading the way.

"Logically speaking, the sea clan deploying such a grand formation would surely use the 'Dragon Fish Vast Sea Grand Formation'; since I can't find it, there are only two possibilities."

Therefore, Gorgeous Scales Long Wave harbors a grudge over his previous defeat to Yunhe, and he fundamentally does not believe he would lose in a rematch.

Ding, ding ding ding—

Lightning arcs leapt.

"Hmph! You know quite a lot. As a poor Daoist, you'll know what level I've cultivated to if you try!"

Upon hearing the three words "Nine Thunder Sect", Zhang Dingtian's eyes turned cold, and brilliant radiant lightning blossomed on his hands, crystal clear and bright, like a slowly blooming lotus.

That is precisely how the sea clan employed the "Dragon Fish Vast Sea Grand Formation" on another battlefield!

The one likely to face this powerful formation is none other than the Yellow Spring Old Ancestor!

Roar——!!

Noticing Yunhe's gaze, Gorgeous Scales Long Wave gave a contemptuous smile and leapt up.

A black flood dragon suddenly flew out from his sleeve.

Feeling the surging mighty earth qi behind him, Yunhe gave a faint smile.

The fifth purple-robed cultivator, with just one person and one sword, had already overwhelmed his opponent to the point of being unable to breathe.

Yunhe's heart gave a jolt.

Could it be that Gorgeous Scales Long Wave has mastered the "Dragon Fish Vast Sea Grand Formation"?

Afterwards, the lightning tiger dissipated, and the spear flew back into the hand of a mid-level Fourth Level sea clan cultivator.

All the cultivators heard Yunhe's words and were instantly invigorated.

Immediately thereafter, a flying sword shot forth into the air.

Now time is on the side of the human cultivators; as long as they drag it out, they hold the advantage.

The phoenix let out a long cry.

"It's merely the 'Dark Water Vast Sea Cover' level." Yunhe secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The rolling magical power behind it swiftly gathered like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea.

"Scatter!"

Gazing at those waves, Yunhe narrowed his eyes and quickly formed a hand seal with one hand.

He let out a long whistle as lightning burst forth.

By then, if the sea clan chooses to retreat to the Endless Sea, that would be fine; but if they try to protect both head and tail, their complete destruction is not far off.

A large number of cultivators shouted low in their hearts and immediately employed their respective methods.

"Hey!"

"Hmph!"

Two flying swords faced each other in the air, yet made no sound; only the surrounding mist in the air surged from this collision.

Yunhe can afford to drag it out, but he cannot.

The Binding Tiger Daoist Zhang Dingtian waved his whisk, and was the first to leap forth.

Even though he now possesses the strength to rival Gorgeous Scales Long Wave head-on, he is ultimately a late Fourth Level sea clan cultivator comparable to a late Yuan Ying Cultivator, having lived who knows how many years and hiding who knows how many trump cards.

Thus, why did the sea clan previously sneak secretly to the rear of the human cultivators?

Therefore, the second possibility is more likely.

Even if the human cultivators below win the melee, as long as there is any problem among their Yuan Ying Cultivators, casually ordering a Fourth Level sea clan elder to intervene would inflict massive casualties on the cultivators below.

Hum—

Boom!!

The black flood dragon and the phoenix clashed fiercely in midair, their tremendous momentum sweeping outward.

Although most sea clan cultivators wield spears, this allows them to better exploit their physical advantage.

Just as Gan Binglan thought, holding out would bring victory; so why provoke trouble?

Almost immediately, they noticed the number of spears appearing beside Gorgeous Scales Long Wave.

He had figured it out: no matter what he said to Yunhe, as soon as the opponent uttered the four words 'defeated underling', he would have no response.

And this time.

Some cultivators with earth-type spiritual roots and techniques directly formed hand seals to cast their spells.

With Yunhe's soft exhalation.

In fact, the gap is not small.

But if the cultivators below fall into a disadvantage, as long as their Yuan Ying Cultivators win their magical duel, that counts as victory.

If they can withstand the sea clan's first wave of assault, with those 'tall ones' above holding the line, they have a great chance to slay many sea clan members.

Not only do the human cultivators hope to break this formation, but the sea clan does as well.

Although the human cultivators, under Yunhe's guidance, seem able to match the tide driven by the sea clan.

Some cultivators possess earth-attributed magical treasures, activating them with hand seals.

One kind.

However, this does not mean all sea clan cultivators use spears; the one blocking the Purple-Clad True Monarch this time is a sea clan elder who wields a sword!

Afterward.

Then he raised his hand and gave a light wave.

Yunhe's brow suddenly furrowed.

"Old Devil Yun."

"You all, cast spells together with me, Wu Earth!"

Having said that, the two almost simultaneously flew up.

"Let this poor Daoist meet them!"

"Oh? Is that so?" Yunhe smiled faintly, "Each to their own."

Blue Ice Senior, Dry Ice Blue!

Unlike Zhang Ding Tian and the fifth Purple-Clad's proactive attack, Gan Bing Lan's purpose is extremely clear: to delay.

Several fierce auras suddenly erupted from the bodies of the sea clan cultivators, their terrifying might causing some cultivators with lower Cultivation Base to turn pale.

Of course, though that is the supposition, Yunhe did not withdraw his divine sense, but instead maintained constant vigilance.

Five flying swords shot straight out, their qi of the Five Elements coiling around the sword light, faintly revealing the outline of a five-colored phoenix.

He rubbed his two fingers together.

Although Yunhe now has the ability to directly oppose a late Yuan Ying Cultivator, compared to the true late Yuan Ying grandmaster Huangquan Lao Zu, his threat to the sea clan is still considerably lacking.

Qi Lin Chang Lan took a slight breath, his expression gradually calming, as if making himself tranquil.

From the sea clan flew another three Fourth Level cultivators: one mid Fourth Level and two early Fourth Level!

Bear!!

But there were also cultivators lacking earth-attributed spiritual roots or earth-attributed treasures who pulled out talismans of earth-attributed techniques, activating their power within.

Fueled by the anger of his main camp being ambushed and being looked down upon by Yunhe, his goal was not merely to defeat Yunhe, but to slay him here!

Compared to the previous skirmish, he could clearly feel that this time Qi Lin Chang Lan's methods seemed... stronger?

Can a late Fourth Level sea clan cultivator still grow in such a short time?

This is the stain left from the previous encounter.

It is indeed the Purple-Clad True Monarch of the Wu Xiang Sword Sect!

"Roar!!"

After just a few breaths, that earth-colored qilin stood towering at ten thousand feet, stepping with wolf-like claws, fearlessly charging toward the monstrous wave!

For a moment, mountains and rivers surged, rocks flew everywhere, actually seeming to rival that terrifying wave!

Sensing the thick Wu Earth qi, many of the sea clan cultivators changed expression.

Yunhe's gaze remained unchanged, his powerful divine sense still sweeping out, seeking any trace related to the "Dragon Fish Vast Sea Grand Formation".

Moreover

"Did not see any trace of the Dragon Fish Vast Sea Grand Formation"

No matter how the Foundation Establishment and Golden Core cultivators below fight, it cannot affect the true battle; the decisive factor remains these Yuan Ying Cultivators.

On the human cultivators' side, countless earth-colored halos rose up, gathering together to form a splendid radiance that even cast the dim sky in an earthen yellow hue.

Before that frightening lightning could strike into the sea clan crowd, a bright silver spear thrust straight forward.

"Kill!"

Only his gaze grew ever colder.

Zizzle!

However, one of his purposes this time is to wash away this stain!

Immediately after, he flung his arms wide, and hundreds of black spears appeared around him!

"Old Devil Yun, this time I'll make sure you go in and never come out!"

In just a brief moment, the human Yuan Ying Cultivators and the sea clan Fourth Level elders fiercely engaged in battle.

"If that's really the case, then Old Monster Xiao will have suffered."

At the same time.

"Please, everyone."

If Qi Lin Chang Lan truly masters this formation, Yunhe will without hesitation turn and flee.

The sea clan cultivators have hidden that grand formation extremely deep, making it hard even for his divine sense to find.

Hum!!

The sword qi and sword body instantly scattered, turning into countless sword threads filling the sky, like fine rain continuing unceasingly.

"A defeated underling." Yunhe said contemptuously.

But such a huge wave accompanied by sea beasts, if the wave crest were to fall, this place would likely become a vast ocean in a short time, and they would completely lose their geographical advantage.

There, Senior Fu Long was exchanging blows with a sea clan early Fourth Level cultivator, but in a short time he had already fallen into an absolute disadvantage, even said to be extremely perilous.

As for another group of cultivators, by obeying the Five Elements Sword Ancestor and displaying their strength and talent, even a one-in-ten-million chance of being noticed by the Five Elements Sword Ancestor—even if taken as a nominal disciple or a maid/concubine—would be a meteoric rise, making their future path absolutely smooth.

Yunhe's voice rang out in the ears of the myriad cultivators on the battlefield.

Wu Earth, city wall earth, great post earth, dikes, clods of earth, belonging to Jia Earth.

Qi Lin Chang Lan's eyes widened, his anger uncontainable.

Yunhe and the others' expressions also turned solemn.

The surging seawater turned into towering waves, giving the human cultivators a great sense of oppression.

For some cultivators, although the situation was dangerous now, it also came with great opportunity.

"One hundred and eight!"

We only need to reduce its power.

Faced with the sudden attack, Yunhe was not overly surprised; he had long been prepared for Qilin Changlan to launch a sudden assault.

Obviously, they chose to distance themselves from the main battlefield to fight one-on-one.

Especially those multicolored, ferocious sea beasts among them, which made many cultivators wary.

A spear flew forth, like moving mountains and overturning seas.

As long as we can withstand this counterattack by the sea clan, the sea clan will fall completely into a passive position.

Hum—

His gaze then fell elsewhere, to the battlefield where the Purple-Clothed True Lord, the fifth Purple Cloth, was engaged.

The leading Qilin Changlan snorted disdainfully, "Just a trivial trick!"

Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, and even the Yuan Ying Cultivators led by Yunhe all swiftly followed suit.

Suddenly.

"You!"

"Roar——!!"

Yunhe could naturally keep his composure.

Before the two could fly far, the sound of a long sword buzzing rang in their ears.

At the same time.

Boom!!

The thunder tiger collided with the spear, erupting a terrifying shockwave that swept outward, causing everyone to look sideways.

This is precisely the best way to deal with those waves.

A flick of the finger.

In cultivators' duels, no one can guarantee the outcome with absolute certainty until the very end.

"Hmm?"

After all, Yunhe's divine sense, while not said to be unrivaled in the Eastern Border cultivation world, has at least surpassed most late Nascent Soul cultivators; if even his divine sense cannot detect it, then the possibility that the human cultivators' side could detect it is probably almost nonexistent.

While speaking, his gaze had already shifted to one side.

Not only can the merits gained from slaying sea clan members be exchanged for treasures, but each sea clan cultivator also carries a great deal of valuable goods; indeed, in the eyes of cultivators, every sea clan member is a rare "treasure."

If on land or in the air, they would fare somewhat better against the sea beasts.

Only a low, deep roar was heard, accompanied by a faint auspicious aura, as a qilin entirely condensed from earth-attribute mana appeared in midair!

Because the "Hanhai Pearls" used to construct the Dragon-Fish Vast Sea Grand Array are also one hundred and eight in number!

This is an extremely sensitive number.

Azure ice and fire rose, staining half the sky.

Qilin Changlan took a deep breath and turned his wrist.

This time, the human cultivators are the defending side.

This time, the human cultivators are indeed the defending side.

Qilin Changlan spoke.

"The last successor of the Nine Thunder Sect, the Tiger-Binding Daoist Zhang Ding Tian, I have come to meet you! I wonder how many levels of your Ninefold Thunder Law you have cultivated?" That sea clan cultivator's words directly exposed Zhang Ding Tian's background.

Instantly, five-colored flowing radiance appeared on his body—white, green, black, red, yellow intermingling; as Yunhe made his hand seals, the radiance grew ever brighter, while the other four of the five colors gradually dimmed, finally turning into pure earth-yellow.

A peach-wood sword soaked in thunderlight shot forth; as Zhang Ding Tian made his hand seals, the thunderlight swiftly coalesced into a mighty, awe-inspiring azure-blue tiger.

A peach wood sword soaked in lightning shot forth, and with Zhang Ding Tian's hand seal, the lightning swiftly gathered into a mighty, awe-inspiring azure-blue tiger.

No matter how many cultivators' mana might be gathered to compare with the sea waves, the sea beasts within the tide are not so easily dispelled.

He glanced at Qilin Changlan with a hint of surprise.

However, Yunhe had never intended to completely dispel the threat of that tide by this means.

Yet the leading Yunhe and Qilin Changlan did not move; they merely gazed at each other from afar.

But the leading Yunhe and Qilin Changlan did not move; they merely gazed at each other from afar.

From the sea clan side as well, a sword flew forth, its blade variegated like coral.

From the sea clan's side, too, a long sword flew out, resembling coral and displaying a variegated color.

Cultivators seek profit, are selfish and harsh, but given the present situation, joining forces is the most advantageous course for them.

Cultivators seek profit, are selfish and harsh, but faced with the current situation, joining hands is the most advantageous thing for them.

Cry!!

"Dealing with you is enough!"

Qilin Changlan gave a cold snort, waved both arms, and all the Black Jia spears flew out together.
