Chapter 2546: Too Little Insight
Before reaching the Sacred Land, Ye Liuyun recalled Lei Ming and the others back to the Space World, and also took a Primordial Power energy crystal to tempt the Purple Qilin.
"We've been fighting for so long; you should go rest for a few days with them, too?"
The Purple Qilin's eyes contained only the Primordial Power energy crystal, and it immediately agreed, being taken by Ye Liuyun back into the Space World.
Then Ye Liuyun and a few others flashed away, returning to the Sacred Land's Satellite Island.
The Satellite Island was expanded by another ring.
Liu Kui had already brought five million Sacred Land troops here, waiting for Ye Liuyun.
This time they equipped all Martial Cultivators with standard soldier armaments and placed them under unified command.
Xiao Muan also personally donned battle gear, leading the remaining Martial Cultivators to the Sacred Land Royal City to prepare for the enemy.
Ye Liuyun's 5,000 Wujia soldiers and 20,000 Hawks were already waiting here.
The scouting Hawks returned, telling Ye Liuyun that there were three days left before the Foreign Tribe army would arrive here.
"The Foreign Tribe army has replaced their warships with five Mega Warships, strengthening their defense!"
The scouting Hawks reported to Ye Liuyun.
"Then we will take the initiative and strike!"
Ye Liuyun ordered Yu Xiaofeng to mobilize all the remaining 30,000 Hawks.
Then he sent the Wujia soldiers back into the Space World, rode the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, and led all the Hawks to go out directly to confront the Foreign Tribe.
Ye Liuyun's Golden Pupil had already seen the Foreign Tribe's five Mega Warships at this point.
"Simultaneously attack the Foreign Tribe's five Mega Warships! Let the Tin Jin Shou handle the one in the middle, while the Hawks provide long‑range cover."
Ye Liuyun issued combat orders to all the Hawks.
He also coordinated with the Tin Jin Shou, telling it not to absorb the Hawks' metal and to focus on absorbing the Mega Warships.
The 50,000 Hawks were divided into five squads and advanced toward the Foreign Tribe warships.
At the same time, Ye Liuyun also consulted Mu Sai about some of Sanda's characteristics.
"Sanda fights very cunningly; in battle he often uses underhanded tactics, so he rarely loses, and is called the Hundred‑Victories King.
But he is not a three‑eyed member of the Foreign Tribe."
Mu Sai said to Ye Liuyun.
Ye Liuyun had actually already seen Sanda; he led the strongest Foreign Tribe squad, hiding at the rear of the formation, not at the center of the warships, presumably to deliberately lull Ye Liuyun.
And the warship in the very middle happened to be the weakest squad.
Ye Liuyun turned the plan to his advantage, first taking out that warship.
If he rushed straight to Sanda's warship and released the Tin Jin Shou, Sanda would likely unleash a Foreign Tribe strongman to counter.
Ye Liuyun still didn't want to engage them directly in the Xingkong.
Sanda's appearance is even uglier than Mu Sai's.
Although he also wears golden scale armor, his face is a sharp‑snouted, monkey‑cheeked look, clearly a troublesome fellow.
His realm is also the third level of Heaven‑Man, but his True Essence is much more condensed than Mu Sai's, so his strength is probably far greater.
However, Mu Sai has never fought Sanda, so he is not clear on its exact combat style.
"Do not carry any metal on you; go with the Tin Jin Shou and protect it!"
Ye Liuyun also sent Mu Sai along, to test whether Sanda would send a strongman to seize Mu Sai.
At the same time, he sent those two half-beast Corpse Demon Kuailei to protect the Tin Jin Shou, preventing it from being attacked.
After all arrangements were set, when nearing the Foreign Tribe warships, Ye Liuyun released the Tin Jin Shou, moving it directly onto the middle warship.
The Tin Jin Shou immediately began its work, lying on it motionlessly and absorbing as quickly as possible.
It had already gathered experience, often being suddenly recalled by Ye Liuyun.
So once released, it goes all out.
The Hawks tasked with attacking the middle warship stay far away, circling the ship.
Only when a Foreign Tribe emerges do they need to launch an attack.
The main mission of this Hawk squad is to protect the Tin Jin Shou.
Mu Sai and the two half-beast Corpse Demon Kuailei also perched on the Tin Jin Shou, guarding against Foreign Tribe attacks on it.
They carry no metal on them, and do not fear the Tin Jin Shou absorbing anything.
The other Hawks go to bombard the warships.
However, these Foreign Tribe Mega Warships have terrifying defensive power; no matter how the Hawks strike, breaking the Defense Array is difficult, only causing the Foreign Tribe to expend a lot of energy.
The team led by Sanda had never seen the Tin Jin Shou; seeing such a huge ferocious beast emerge and lie still on the warship, they didn't know what it would do.
Thus Sanda ordered to observe first, letting each warship only defend and not attack.
He was secretly relieved that he wasn't in the central position, so Ye Liuyun wouldn't focus attacks on him.
He also saw Ye Liuyun riding on the back of the Nine-Headed Demon Dragon, giving him a once‑over.
"Such an attack is neither painful nor effective; this human has no real skill!"
He thought to himself.
The Tin Jin Shou seemed as if asleep, motionless, and did not launch an attack.
Mu Sai knows it, but he guessed Ye Liuyun intended to draw it out.
"Hmph, this human still doesn't know; we are already prepared to abandon Mu Sai!"
Sanda thought to himself.
Those two half-beast Corpse Demon Kuailei, Sanda also knows, recognizing them as monsters forged by Elder Mu Xi, with terrifying combat power and impervious to blades and spears.
Therefore it had no intention of dealing with them now, only watching Ye Liuyun and the Tin Jin Shou's movements.
But soon, the interior of the warship being absorbed by the Tin Jin Shou began to sandify, and the condition worsened rapidly.
The Foreign Tribe soldiers inside the Warship immediately reported to Sangda.
"Bad."
This ferocious beast is strange!"
Sangda secretly thought it was not good, and immediately ordered all the Foreign Tribe inside that Warship to come out and confront the enemy.
The Warship's hatch opened immediately, and the Foreign Tribe began to rush out.
The Hawks, from a distance, fired volleys at them, blocking all the charging Foreign Tribe at the doorway.
"Use the Warship to block them, keep charging!"
Sangda kept giving them orders.
Some Leaders released the Warships they carried, blocking the Hawks' attacks, and led the soldiers out.
But many Foreign Tribe were still struck down by the surrounding Hawks.
Some Foreign Tribe who had rushed out immediately charged toward the Tin Jin Shou, but as soon as they neared its armor and weapons, they quickly turned to sand.
In a moment of distraction, they were again bombarded to death by the Hawks.
Mulai and the two half-beast Corpse Demons showed no reaction to them.
Even if they went to attack the Tin Jin Shou, they still did not intervene.
They were guarding against the Foreign Tribe that used Spiritual Soul Attacks on the Tin Jin Shou and the Foreign Tribe that tried to seize Mulai.
Sangda, watching from afar, also furrowed brows, and Sangda asked the nearby Foreign Tribe: "What special technique is that lion using?"
The Foreign Tribe beside it had never seen such a lion, and they all shook their heads.
At this moment, the Foreign Tribe soldiers inside the Warship who had not rushed out continued to report to Sangda, saying their armor and weapons were also beginning to turn to sand, and some small Warships and Flying Swallow equipment inside the Warship were also undergoing sandification.
Immediately afterward, the Warship's Defense Array disappeared, and the energy transmission device also stopped operating due to sandification.
"Quick, charge out at full speed!"
Sangda could only have the soldiers escape first before saying anything.
All the hatches of the Warship had been opened, but the Hawks' bombardment was fierce, causing heavy casualties among the Foreign Tribe.
