Chapter 796 - Creator Xi Zhiyan (1/2)
A hundred thousand deaths?
When?
Those missing warships, the missing Zhu Shi gods, killed by Mister Yi?
Although an innate god in his past life, Mister Yi was reincarnated into the human race and was just ascended into deityhood not long ago. How could he possibly possess such great power?
Dong Ah, Xi He, and the others could hear the many questions with no answers lingering in their ears. But the pain and agony from the loss of his armada on Master's contorted face had erased any doubts that they had. If so, then how exactly did Mister Yi kill the over hundreds of thousand gods?
Zhong Yue raised his hand and drew the lightning seas between them again. He shook in reply, "If you hadn't tried to kill me, why would I ever do something like that? You brought death upon yourselves, I am just doing what is needed survive."
Weapon Ancestor and the gods gritted their teeth, they stopped casting the teleportal gates and sailed straight into the lightning seas.
Krong—!
The warship rammed the lightning seas into fragments and continued toward them with tremendous momentum. The Zhu Shi survivors were brimming with killing intent, fueled by the burning desire to avenge their fallen siblings.
Just thinking of the countless Zhu Shi experts that never came out from the godly sun made their blood boil. Every single one of them couldn't have wait any longer to see Zhong Yue falling into their hands!
However, even with thousands of gods powering the warship, it would still take some time before they could catch up to Zhong Yue and the others.
It was such an awkward distance, it was too far for them to sail by pure speed and too close for them to use the teleportal gates in fear that Zhong Yue would alter the gates' totem patterns again.
Meanwhile, Bo Di was one of the fastest experts in terms of speed; him flying at full speed was hard for the rest to keep up with, he was just a line slower than Zhong Yue in the form of the Great Sun Golden Crow.
Despite so, a prolonged journey of traveling at full speed had exhausted him. Both his mortal body and cultivation base were overstressed, he wouldn't be able to last much longer and after this, he would suffer a great loss of his life essence.
"This will not end well." Zhong Yue looked at the incoming warship, his heart sank to the bottom and he concluded solemnly, "Prepare yourselves for war. People… it is up to your own fate and luck now to decide who will walk out of this alive."
Dong Ah, Xi He, and the others were shocked. They surged out their arcane energy and cast out their respective divine weapons, preparing for the upcoming battle. Whereas Zhong Yue's face was deep dark and gloomy, unlike the others, he was able to escape the predicament at anytime he wants.
His cultivation of the [Time Light Spatial Crystal Mystic Scripture] was at a level where he could teleport himself away from the battlefield with just a thought, so long as there wasn't a Deity Emperor there to stop him.
However, if he left, Bo Di and the others would surely be killed. Although he didn't really care about their well-being, but having them by his side would considerably reduce future potential troubles.
At the very least, it would be much more appealing and trustworthy if it were Bo Di and the others that announced his identity as an innate god in his past life.
Thus, he wouldn't allow all of them to die here.
But at the same time, he wasn't strong enough to save them all with his current strength.
Behind them, the warship was drawing nearer, including them in the Deity Overlords' skill range and almost immediately, the Deity Overlords launched their skills. The Deity Overlords' skills were like pythons, slithering their way in the space and gnawed down at Bo Di.
Bo Di fluttered his wings and evaded the incoming skills while Dong Ah and the others who were on his back also launched their skills to ward off the incoming attacks and protect Bo Di from getting injured.
Even Zhong Yue also joined them and warded off the attacks.
But just how strong were the Deity Overlords? Even the after impacts from their skills were enough to inflict considerable damage to them and if not, grave injuries.
The crowd held themselves together well, but Bo Di was still ineluctably slowed down by the skills while the warship was sailing increasingly faster.
All of a sudden, a few dozens of True Deity raised their arms up with the bows and shot the divine arrows. It happened so quickly that it caught them off guard and when they came back to their senses, one of the Xian Tian Palace's disciple already had a hole bored through his forehead by an arrow. His head exploded like a smashed tomato and blood splattered on the crowd's faces and clothes.
Xi He screamed in fear, she cast out her divine weapon and warded off the incoming skills madly. Then, a burst of light came from the warship again as another barrage of divine arrows were shot out by the gods; this time, they were aimed at her.
The terrified Xi He reflexively took a sidestep and barely escaped death. A divine arrow slipped past her cheek before taking away the life of another Xian Tian Palace's disciple!
On the deck of the last warship, Weapon Ancestor took the form of a divine bow, held in the hands of Royal Prince Wen Chang. Although the gods were the ones barraging the divine arrows on them, the two shots that took two lives had come from him.
Royal Prince Wen Chang pulled out the third divine arrow, he drew a full bow and squinted his eyes at Zhong Yue's head. However, after seconds of mulling, he moved his aim and made Bo Di his third target.
After all, killing Bo Di was much easier as he didn't have the confidence to kill Zhong Yue in one shot.
When the nocked divine arrow was let loose, it flew like a flash of lightning and appeared right on Bo Di's back. Bo Di's scalps tingled and he could feel the tip of the arrow virtually piercing through his heart.
It was at that moment, a shabby furnace emerged between Bo Di and the divine arrow; the divine arrow pierced into the furnace and stopped inches before impaling through it.
Zhong Yue cast the [Desolate Lightning Heavenly Furnace] and reduced the divine arrow into ashes.
To that, Royal Prince Wen Chang smiled and picked up more arrows. Shua, shua, shua — Flashes of light drew beautiful arcs across the space down toward everyone else carried on Bo Di's back!
Zhong Yue's face changed drastically, just as he was galvanizing into actions to stop the arrows, the Zhu Shi gods' attacks were reaching him collectively.
Stop the arrows and he would have to withstand all of the gods' attacks; but if he didn't, Bo Di and the others would all die!
"Mister Yi, run!" Dong Ah shouted, "Have the Xian Tian Palace's supreme senior martial brother avenge us!"
Then, one of the Xian Tian Palace's disciple rushed to Zhong Yue's front and shielded him while shouting, "Mister Yi, go! We will send you out!"
Zhong Yue startled for a split second and sighed in his heart, They take me as friends but I am destined to betray the Xian Tian Palace. By then, will I truly be able to view them as my enemy and kill them?
As he sighed, he surged his arcane energy and swept Bo Di, Dong Ah, and the others into his Yuan Shen secret realms. He said solemnly, "I will bring us all out of this!"
Bo Di and the others were still shocked while Zhong Yue turned into an Innate Golden Crow and fluttered his wings. He evaded the incoming attacks in tremendous agility and rushed to exit the predicament in extreme speed.
On the deck, Royal Prince Wen Chang ordered frigidly, "Gods, heed my command, draw the bow."
The tens of thousand gods raised their arms, sounds of metal clanking filled the warship as all of the Zhu Shi gods removed their divine bows from their back and nocked a divine arrow, pointing at the escaping Zhong Yue.
"Release!" Abruptly, Royal Prince Wen Chang shouted.
In the blinding light of the thousands of divine arrows, the suns and stars have lost their brilliance. The divine arrows all had a common target—Zhong Yue!
