Novel Bin Chapter 971 - Stupa Mountain
Chapter 971: Stupa Mountain
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The Heaven Fate Ship was in a place called the Stupa1 Mountain, and it was one of the top ten most treacherous lands in the Yi Clan’s four regions. This mountain range was hidden with thousands of bandit legions, and normal Heaven Fate Ships wouldn’t dare to fly past this place.
Qi Tianyu also knew about this place, and so he didn’t dare to fly across the center of Stupa Mountain. However, this mountain range was too huge, and it would take a lot of time to detour around it.
He had chosen to fly across from the edge where the bandit legions were only mediocre at best, and they would be able to deal with those bandits. This Heaven Fate Ship was of top-class, and no bandit legions would dare to attack it, logically.
Something happened that Qi Tianyu had never expected. Just as they flew over the edge of Stupa Mountain, they suddenly entered an assault from tens of thousands of bandits. These people were all at least of middle-stage Heaven Monarch and were wearing various types of battle armors. Furthermore, they would in small groups and were obviously not from a single bandit legion. All the experts from the various bandit legions in Stupa Mountain were here.
When the bandit legion appeared, they immediately attacked the Heaven Fate Ship, and a single wave of attacks had nearly ruptured the Heaven Fate Ship’s barrier. Fortunately, Qi Tianyu and his men had reacted fast enough and immediately rushed out of the Heaven Fate Ship to block half the attacks. However, it was also the same reason why they had lost over 200 men in just the first wave of attacks.
“Kill, kill, kill!”
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sky was blood-red like the sunset, and attacks were released everywhere. Various multiple-colored attacks and abilities had illuminated the sky with radiance. Explosions were echoing non-stop, boulders and metallic armors were penetrated, and the mountains below were crumbling. The ground was splitting apart, shards of rocks were shot out in all directions, and smoke was rising in spirals. The spatial zone above was fluctuating, causing hideous cracks to constantly extended into the distance, and they were continuously mended before cracking again.
There were sounds of explosions and screams, along with the sounds of boulders rolling down the mountains. A blood mist had been sprinkled in the vast sky, and countless severed limbs were flying in the air. The mountain peaks below had been dyed in red with fresh blood.
The battle could only be described with two words, ‘bitter’ and ‘desperate’. There were plenty of bandits, but Qi Tianyu’s group had more experts in comparison. The Four and Five-Star experts’ attacks were extreme, and a single sweep would wipe out a whole group of enemies. Most importantly, Qi Tianyu and his men didn’t fear death. Inside the Heaven Fate Ship was Su Ruoxue, Jiang Yi’s most beloved woman. No harm must be made to her; otherwise, it wouldn’t be enough even if it cost their lives.
Just because of this, they were all blocking in front of the Heaven Fate Ship in order to prevent the rupture of the Heaven Fate Ship’s barrier. Hence, they had turned into live targets, and in just 15 minutes, half of their original 1000 was dead. Among the deceased, there were plenty of peak-stage Heaven Monarchs—even Five-Star experts were dead.
Of course, they had also killed innumerable enemies, and they’re desperately pouring out their all-out attacks. The opposition were mainly high-stage Heaven Monarchs, and their numbers were just too great, allowing a random attack to hit someone. Qi Tianyu had plenty of peak-stage Heaven Monarchs, and in just a short period of time, they had killed nearly ten thousand enemies.
“Transmit a message to Young Master that he must not come over! This is definitely a scheme by the Wu Clan, and once he appears, the Wu Clan’s experts will immediately emerge!”
Qi Tianyu had quickly understood and transmitted a message to the ten individuals that were left inside the Heaven Fate Ship. Those ten individuals quickly used the special method of messaging to inform the people hidden in the nearby cities to contact Jiang Yi.
“Break out of the encirclement, break out! Everyone, obey my orders: protect the Heaven Fate Ship and break out! We will cut them off from behind. Even if we die... we must protect Young Lady Su for her to leave!”
After Qi Tianyu transmitted the message, he yelled out. The masked on his face had already been taken off, and his face was filled with intersecting scars that distorted his face and made him look abnormally horrifying. In order to prevent the Wu Clan from investigating any information on him, he didn’t hesitate to disfigure himself; and right now, he was planning to battle to his death on Stupa Mountain.
“Kill!”
The Four and Five-Star experts beside Qi Tianyu burst out with roars and poured out with various attacks without any regard for their lives, allowing them to suppress an opposing group of experts. The Heaven Fate Ship had flown across the sky and escape into the distance, leaving behind hundreds of people to obstruct at the back of the Heaven Fate Ship. They didn’t dodge or evade and simply stood still while constantly releasing their attacks.
“Kill them, everyone attack together!”
A bandit chief roared and with his order, the remaining twenty thousand bandits all attacked at the same time. In a split moment, the sky was lit up with a flash as twenty thousand streaks of light whizzed over, splitting open a giant crack in the sky. Qi Tianyu and his men had no choice but to move away. Otherwise, their divine shields would be shattered, and they would be turned into pulps of flesh.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Even though they had dodge very quickly, but there were too many attacks. Apart from the peak-stage Heaven Monarchs, the rest of the high-stage Heaven Monarchs’ divine shields had exploded, and their bodies were turned into pulps of flesh. They had over a thousand men in the beginning, but there was only less than a hundred left. More than thirty peak-stage Heaven Monarchs had perished in battle, and four of the ten Four and Five-Star experts were dead.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
With less than a hundred men left, they couldn’t obstruct the bandits even if they wanted to. Qi Tianyu and the others had turned into afterimages and rushed at the individual bandit groups separately. They intended to go all out and kill some bandits and stall them, allowing the Heaven Fate Ship to escape even further.
Chi! Chi!
Who would have known...?
When the Heaven Fate Ship flew a few dozen miles away, it actually turned back. The expert that stayed inside the Heaven Fate Ship had transmitted a message: “Elder, there are thousands of people intercepting us from over there!”
“It’s all over...”
Qi Tianyu let out a long sigh in his heart. They weren’t going to escape today. All the bandits in this Stupa Mountain must have worked together. They had premeditated the interception of the Heaven Fate Ship to kill everyone. It was highly possible that this was also the Wu Clan’s plot.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
As Qi Tianyu watched his men dying one after the other and the Heaven Fate Ship getting surrounded, he was in utter despair. He attacked everywhere madly, and there were a few times when his divine shield had nearly ruptured, but he didn’t care. His heart was filled with regrets that he was unable to escort Su Ruoxue to Sin Island safely.
Fifteen minutes later, the sky was getting darker, and nighttime was about to arrive!
A giant explosion had alerted Qi Tianyu, and he saw that the Heaven Fate Ship’s barrier had been destroyed. A stretch of the Heaven Fate Ship’s body had been split open. Su Ruoxue was being protected in the middle by ten men while hundreds of enemies’ weapons had lit up with radiance, and they were about to kill Su Ruoxue. He screamed with terror, “No...!”
Chi! Chi!
Right at this moment, there was a spatial crack that appeared in the sky above. A figure flashed out, and countless people glanced over, only to see a pair of blood-red eyes and limitless killing aura.
“Die! Today, all of you shall die! Jiang Yi is here. Who dares to obstruct me?”
The person who arrived yelled out with a voice that was as cold as a 10,000-year-old glacier. Subsequently, a horrific sound echoed in the surroundings. The nearby high-stage Heaven Monarchs were unable to attack after hearing the sound, and they were holding on to their heads and rolling in mid-air. The Divine Sound Heaven Skill had been released.
“Young master!”
Qi Tianyu and others had exclaimed with surprise. They were delighted yet shocked and ashamed. Jiang Yi glanced at them with cold eyes and shouted, “Go and protect Ruoxue!”
Chi! Chi!
One of Jiang Yi’s hands was wielding the flexible sword to release the Divine Sound Heaven Skill while his other hand was constantly releasing astral winds which quickly formed astral wind blades and attacked everywhere. Once he appeared, he had locked onto all the opposition’s Four- and Five-Star experts and poured the astral wind blades at them in an endless stream. The attack was too severe and silent, taking only an instant to violently wipe out a whole group of enemies.
“The fish has taken the bait!”
Right at the moment when Jiang Yi had appeared, there was a bandit legion’s encampment in the north of the Stupa Mountain that echoed with soft gasps. The encampment was covered by an illusion zone that Jiang Yi couldn’t possibly know there was someone hidden inside. The gasps were from Ji Tingyu.
“Uncle Wu Zu, do it!”
Wu Ni was also secretly hidden in this place, and he had yelled out with excitement. Wu Zu and the four other Demigods instantly had eyes that lit up with radiance. Their bodies rushed into the sky and turned into five violent dragons that rushed at the south part of Stupa Mountain.
