Chapter 282: Surrounded On All Sides (1/2)

Chapter 282: Surrounded On All Sides

A mere bunch of nine flying boats actually was not sufficient to intimidate SongZhong. Rather, it was how the boats were positioned. It actually showed that he was surrounded. With enemies from three directions, would any more enemies appear from the fourth direction as well? Thinking up to this point, SongZhong turned his head back in panic, and espied three more flying boats.

12 large magical flying boat artifacts is not a laughing matter at all. The moment SongZhong got surrounded, even something as powerful as the golden dragon boat could only helplessly take a beating. Thinking to this point, SongZhong’s head cleared from his original rage-induced mood. At this point, it came as a shock when he found out that his enemy did not only just bring along 12 flying boats, but the indistinct figure of four to five more boats could be seen at the back. From this, he could infer that they were probably flying in a formation consisting of nearly 30 flying boats.

If there were only seven or eight boats, SongZhong might still have dared to fight it out. However, with thirty opposing boats, he had better just run! Facing such a siege, even his golden dragon boat would not survive, let alone retaliate!

SongZhong was no fool. He had already vented enough frustrations today, and there wasn’t any point to continue venting. Since the situation was already so unfavourable for him, he swept the surroundings once, before selecting a direction with only six flying boats, and propelled the boat towards it.

Of course, SongZhong would not let the Thousand Desires Sect go that easily. A purple lightning golden dragon cannon spat out its energy beam as the boat pa.s.sed by, viciously devastating the headquarters of the thousand desires sect. Consequently, an explosion that was a few thousand feet high and hundreds of li wide could be seen. The headquarters of the Thousand Desires Sect was obliterated, just like that.

Witnessing this scene, all the disciples of the Thousand Desires Sect had faces the colour of ash, and they lamented in their hearts. Another millennium long historical huge sect had just been wiped out, there would no longer be a thousand desires sect in this area ever again.

Seated in the flying boat that was approaching from one of the directions, the Sect Master of the Thousand Desires Sect, Daoist s.e.x Fiend, was angered to the point he vomited blood. In his anger, he swore, “If I do not kill SongZhong, then I’m not fit to be a man!”

His disciples were suffused with indignance and grievances. All of them howled in a.s.sent, and focused their full attention on operating the flying boat to overtake Daoist HuoLong as well as Celestial QingYun. A pity, even if that was the case, to actually overtake SongZhong would still require a period of time.

As for the others, all of them collectively inhaled a breath of cold air. Only right now did they realise that it was no fluke which SongZhong had destroyed the Jade Pearl Pavilion. This caused them to be even more wary of the SongZhong, and even more determined to kill him.

SongZhong could not be bothered with the rabble. His thoughts were solely occupied with how to safely escape this entrapment. From his observations just now, SongZhong was quite sure that the s.h.i.+ps he was flying towards belonged to external cultivators who were invited to fill the numbers.

This bunch of people did not possess similar levels of strength as compared to the other three directions, and were in no rush to fly over while the rest were speeding up for fear of losing SongZhong. Obviously, this group was planning to reap the rewards after everyone got injured from the battle.

For this sort of people, they were more enthusiastic than others when it came for them to obtain victory. However, upon meeting a disadvantageous scenario, they would be the first to run.

Due to this conduct, SongZhong naturally would choose them to break out of his entrapment. Judging by their att.i.tudes, they would definitely give SongZhong a wide berth and not attempt to sacrifice their lives needlessly to tangle with him. If SongZhong chose to escape from the side of Daoist Huolong and Celestial Qingyun, judging by how they hated him to the bone, they would give their all to trap him, which might result in his demise.

Seeing how SongZhong did not stand his ground and was instead fleeing, and furthermore towards those weak willed fellows, Daoist HuoLong and Celestial QingYun’s expressions changed as they begun to panic. Likewise, they were aware of how those fellow were unscrupulous, so to make them buy time was impossible. If the matter were to proceed down this road, there was a high chance that SongZhong would manage to escape once again. After all, the speed of the golden dragon boat was super to the other flying boats, and would definitely not be able to catch up to SongZhong.

In his panic, Daoist HuoLong suddenly had a weird idea, and proceeded to circulate his internal energy to shout, “SongZhong, you evildoer, how dare you engage in wanton killing. While I may be kind at heart, I cannot endure such behavior anymore! I will serve justice on behalf of the heavens, and exterminate the vermin like you, an unloyal b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Hearing such slanderous insults, it was a blessing that Songzhong did not just drop dead on the spot. While Songzhong had the blood of countless people on his hands today, all of them were cultivators of the demonic way. Which one of them was a saint who had abstained from killing? Him killing them should be executing justice on heaven’s behalf! Furthermore, he could be considered to have gone to great lengths to eliminate compet.i.tion for his Mystical Sky Yard. But to be framed by Daoist Huolong as a demonic cultivator, this was the real injustice!

Furthermore, eliminating the Thousand Desires Sect was actually just to avenge his parents, so how could he be considered as unfilial? But that darned Daoist Huolong was obviously twisting facts and distorting the truth!
