Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Air Ban Array, Ambush and Assassination
CHH!
A Flying Boat, a streak of dark light, shot out from the Donglong Island Marketplace at incredible speed!
With the aid of Donglong Island’s Tier Two Island Protection Array, even those in the Qi Refining Stage could fly quickly using a Flying Boat magical artifact!
Su Ye stood aboard the Flying Boat, his black robes whipping in the wind. His eyes were narrowed, his expression grim.
Dusk began to fall.
In the darkness, the glow of fire from the direction of the shipyard beca all the more conspicuous.
’They deserve to be killed...’
’Every single one... deserves to die!’ Su Ye’s expression was glacial, killing intent surging within him.
The top-grade spirit vessel being built in the shipyard was crucial to his Foundation Establishnt Path!
And now, so villains actually dared to attack the shipyard!
’The Qi Family! You really have so nerve...’ Su Ye’s eyes were dark and profound.
Even without proof, Su Ye was almost certain.
—The Qi Family had to be behind this!
Even if the Qi Family’s cultivators hadn’t acted personally, they had at least provided a great deal of support from the shadows.
After all, if it were a band of rogue cultivators, wouldn’t the marketplace’s shops or the Spirit Stone Vault be far more lucrative targets than the shipyard?
But this group of villains had ignored the easier targets for a more difficult one. That was obviously not normal.
’Thankfully, the shipyard is protected by an array and heavily guarded. It should be able to hold out for a while...’
’Wait a minute?! If that’s the case...’
Su Ye’s expression shifted slightly as countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
Without hesitation, he stopped the Flying Boat.
He then turned it around, making as if to head back.
"Damn it!"
"He’s noticed! Move now!"
An aged voice barked angrily in the night.
BUZZ!
In the direction of the shipyard, not far from the Flying Boat, a light appeared in mid-air.
The light of a ring-shaped array flared to life!
A powerful restrictive force imdiately erged, spreading out in all directions like a wave!
"An Air Ban Array?!"
Su Ye’s eyes narrowed as he identified the array.
The restrictive force swept over the Flying Boat, its power plumting. It beca uncontrollable, slowly gliding toward the ground.
’Just as I thought... The attack on the shipyard was just a diversion.’
’Their real goal was to lure out reinforcents and ambush them... In other words, they were after ?’
Gazing at the Air Ban Array blooming in the sky, Su Ye’s mind raced.
After all, as a guardian of the Donglong Island Marketplace and one of the main proponents of the shipbuilding project, it was highly likely that Su Ye would be among the first wave of reinforcents to respond to an attack on the shipyard.
"Heh... Interesting... Trying to ambush ?!"
Su Ye smiled, but his eyes were filled with a bone-chilling killing intent so intense it was almost tangible.
With a flash of light from his Storage Pouch, he took out the Frost Thorn Spear and gently wiped its tip with the corner of his black robe.
"Huuuh..." Su Ye took a deep breath!
HUM.
Azure Dragon Power surged, and Silver Gang Qi appeared, reinforcing his physical body.
THUD!
Su Ye stamped his foot, abandoning the powerless Flying Boat and landing gracefully on the ground!
He steadied himself, his expression calm as he looked toward the woods beside the road.
"My friends, since you’re already here, why don’t you show yourselves..."
RUSTLE.
A sound ca from the bushes.
Four Late-stage Qi Refining cultivators erged, revealing themselves.
Among them, a charming female cultivator in a red dress looked at Su Ye.
Her beautiful face was twisted into a ferocious snarl, her eyes filled with hatred.
"Su Ye! Give
back my man’s life!"
"Red Lady?"
Su Ye cracked his neck, his gaze flickering slightly.
This woman and her dao companion were well-known rogue cultivators called the ’Red and White Double Fiends.’
Two years ago, they had road into the seas around Donglong Island and, seeing the bustling marketplace, had gotten so wicked ideas.
The result was predictable. Su Ye made his move, the ’White Fiend’ died a horrible death on the spot, and ’Red Lady’ was lucky to escape, disappearing without a trace...
"Stop wasting ti with him! We don’t have long! I’d like to make it back alive!"
The slim old man with a concealed face snapped in a low voice.
He threw out several talismans.
Then, with a flick of his sleeve, Poisoned Needles as fine as ox-hair shot rapidly toward Su Ye!
Red Lady nodded, and a Crimson Iron Umbrella flew from her hand, opening in mid-air.
Its edges glinted coldly—they were lined with sharp blades!
BZZZZZT!
The red umbrella began to spin rapidly like a buzzsaw, slashing toward Su Ye’s head!
The other two, a bald-headed strongman and a stern-faced middle-aged man, weren’t idle either, activating their magical artifacts and talismans to attack Su Ye!
"Hmph..."
Su Ye snorted coldly as a deep blue light surged around him!
HUM!
In front of him, layer upon layer of the Profound Nether Shield continuously ford, resembling a towering wall of ice!
’Such strong defenses...’
Red Lady frowned, gritted her teeth, swallowed a pill, and increased her Magical Power output.
A few breaths later.
BANG.
Under the combined assault of the four Late-stage Qi Refining cultivators, the ice wall shattered!
"Good..."
At the slim old man’s thought, the Poisoned Needles shot through the air!
CHH!
However!
The attack that had been certain to hit struck nothing but empty air!
"What?" The slim old man was stunned.
He looked closer and saw that behind the shattered ice wall, there was no one there!
"How is that possible? There was no fluctuation of Magical Power..."
BOOM!!!
In that instant, a silver light ca screaming through the air, slamming into the old man’s chest with terrifying kinetic energy!
As a look of terror filled the slim old man’s face, his Magical Energy Shield shattered!
Next was a Bronze Heart-Protecting Mirror.
CRACK!
The Frost Thorn Spear was unstoppable. It broke through two layers of defense and pierced the old man’s torso, sending blood gushing out!
The slim old man clutched his chest in disbelief and slowly collapsed, silent.
An instant kill!
A Late-stage Qi Refining master, slain by Su Ye in a single mont!
HUM.
The Frost Thorn Spear flew back to his hand.
Clad in his black robe, his body shimring with thick Silver Gang Qi, Su Ye calmly stepped out from another direction.
"No Magical Power fluctuation... With a Body Technique like that, is he at the third level of Body Refining?"
Red Lady shrieked in terror.
Watching Su Ye slowly approach, an involuntary trace of fear appeared in her eyes, as if she was reliving a past mory.
"No... it’s not the third level..."
The bald-headed strongman, who also cultivated a Body Refining Technique, spoke in a low voice.
"Phew... I was about to say. He’s so young, how could he possibly have reached the late stages of both Qi Refining and Body Refining..."
Hearing this, Red Lady and the stern-faced middle-aged man both felt a wave of relief.
But imdiately after, the bald-headed strongman’s voice began to tremble with absolute horror.
"He’s... he’s clearly at the fourth level of Body Refining, which is equivalent to a master at Qi Refining Perfection!"
"What? Are you kidding ?!" Red Lady scread in disbelief.
At that mont.
The Silver Gang Qi around Su Ye surged. He stomped his foot, and his figure flashed in an instant!
CHH!
The Frost Thorn Spear was as fast as lightning!
The silver spear passed through his body. The bald-headed strongman’s chest was torn wide open, blood sprayed out, and his body suddenly went rigid!
Su Ye’s expression was cold as he pulled out the Frost Thorn Spear and flicked the blood off it.
With his current strength, these so-called infamous and well-known rogue cultivators couldn’t even withstand a single exchange with him.
"Hah... Ridiculous. You dare try to ambush
with this little strength?!" Su Ye sneered.
"This man is invincible!"
Seeing this, the stern-faced middle-aged man’s expression changed several tis before he turned and fled without the slightest hesitation!
Red Lady, however, stood stunned for a mont, then let out a shriek, burned her blood essence, and charged at Su Ye.
"An ant trying to shake a tree..." Su Ye said calmly.
