Chapter 41 Ambush and Pursuit
"Once this talisman is activated, it can immediately teleport you three to five miles away. Although the direction is uncontrollable, we are currently in the air, so there are no obstacles to either side."
As soon as Dong Zhou finished explaining the function of the Minor Teleportation Talisman, many cultivators present became interested.
Even disregarding the potential for great profits, this single talisman alone could significantly increase their chances of survival in this calamity.
"Since Senior Dong has considered everything so thoroughly, we sisters are willing to give it a try!"
Yanli's eyes flickered, and she immediately stepped forward, cupping her hands in greeting.
"Senior sister, this is far too dangerous!"
Yuan Yao disagreed and secretly transmitted her thoughts.
"Don't worry, junior sister, I'm not out of my mind. Let's get that small teleportation talisman first. If things get complicated, we can just throw away the storage bag!"
Yanli's composure at this moment was quite different from her appearance.
"Okay, go forward and choose two storage bags."
Dong Zhou disregarded the fact that the two women's cultivation levels were not among the top in the crowd, and immediately gave them two golden storage bags and threw out two small teleportation talismans.
"We brothers are willing to give it a try too!"
"And me!"
...
Upon seeing this, everyone immediately began to scramble for it, as there were far more monks than porridge available.
Meanwhile, the merchant ships were only a dozen miles away from Golden Ring Island, and the Foundation Establishment evil cultivators on the two bone warships seemed to finally be unable to sit still.
Not only did all twelve Foundation Establishment evil cultivators personally engage in battle, but the Corpse Flame Cannon also began its relentless assault, regardless of the cost.
In a short while, the blue light shield protecting the merchant ship began to crack under the strain, and fine cracks spread out like a spider web.
Suddenly, two enormous golden flying swords shot out from the fully activated defensive array of Golden Ring Island, heading straight for the two bone warships.
After two loud booms, the bone warships, though unharmed under the protection of a layer of blood-red light shield, could no longer attack the merchant ships at will.
"You scoundrels from Whale Corpse Island! How dare you cause trouble on Golden Ring Island! Stay here!"
The next loud shout came from the direction of Golden Ring Island. Dozens of figures flew over on their magical artifacts, with a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator wearing a golden ring on his head at the forefront.
Behind him were seven or eight Foundation Establishment cultivators, and the rest were Qi Refining cultivators in the later stages.
Upon seeing this, the cultivators from the Six-Hall Alliance on the deck burst into cheers.
Even Yuan Yao and Yan Li loosened their grip on the small teleportation talisman slightly.
Only Dong Zhou's expression grew increasingly grim, and he whispered a command to his trusted confidants:
"Get ready!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a strange thing happened!
Two shadows suddenly appeared on the calm sea in the distance, and the next moment two towering water columns exploded, and two more skeletal warships broke through the waves!
The Corpse Flame Cannon at the bow was already poised to fire, its muzzle glowing green and exuding a chilling aura of death.
"Boom! Boom!"
The cannons roared, and four green fireballs the size of millstones immediately blasted into the Golden Ring Island cultivators who had rushed to their aid.
One of the early Foundation Establishment cultivators was extremely unlucky; he was hit head-on by a green fireball, and the earthen-yellow protective shield around him shattered instantly. The raging corpse fire swept out and burned him to a charred corpse in an instant.
"Damn it, it's an ambush! Retreat!"
The Golden Ring Foundation Establishment cultivator's expression changed drastically. Having just blocked the surging wave of fire, he called for everyone to retreat!
But having already fallen into their trap, how could they escape so easily?
The two skeletal warships that participated in the siege of the merchant ship immediately went to its aid, emitting a bone-white light along with the other two warships.
In an instant, the four skeletal warships took up positions at the four corners, forming a trapping formation for the enemy.
"Attack with all your might and wipe them out!"
Those left behind, including Luo Qing, immediately received orders from the Foundation Establishment cultivators on the same ship. They then activated their blood energy, detonated their Yin Souls, and amplified the power of their techniques.
Under such fierce attacks, the cyan light shield shattered completely in just one round.
None of the cultivators on the ship had any intention of holding out to the death. Immediately, whether they were disciples of the Six-Linked Hall, local cultivators of Golden Ring Island, or unlucky passengers, they all scattered and fled for their lives.
Lacking any organization, they were naturally slaughtered horribly by the well-prepared evil cultivators.
Li Wanxing was also caught up in the killing spree, simply because the storage bags of the people he killed could be kept by him.
But Luo Qing remained uninvolved and did not participate in the grand event.
He could kill Zhao Donglin without a shred of compassion just to survive, but he couldn't bring himself to kill a complete stranger just to steal spirit stones and treasures.
However, if the other party really has something he urgently needs, Luo Qing wouldn't mind engaging in a forced sale.
Suddenly, a spatial fluctuation occurred, and twelve figures dressed in different styles suddenly appeared in the air more than a mile away from the merchant ship.
Because he shielded everyone in front of him and continued to slack off, Luo Qing was closest to some of the figures among them.
"Hmm? Such strong spiritual energy fluctuations. Do these guys still intend to flee with the treasure at this time?"
The moment the thought crossed Luo Qing's mind, the voice of the Foundation Establishment cultivator from before, carrying an undeniable authority, re-entered his primordial spirit:
"What are you all standing there for? Go kill them all! Take everything back! Don't let a single one escape!"
This order was clearly not given to Luo Qing alone. Before he even set off, more than ten figures had already broken away from the group besieging the merchant ship, including two Foundation Establishment cultivators.
"That suits me perfectly!"
Luo Qing's heart stirred, and he urged the white bone sword beneath his feet to chase after the nearest figure!
"Senior Brother Luo!"
"You stay here, I'll be right back!"
Li Wanxing wanted to go along, but Luo Qing stopped him.
......
After activating the Minor Teleportation Talisman, Yuan Yao felt a sudden dizziness, and the intense vertigo almost made her unable to control the artifact.
After catching her breath, Yuan Yao immediately looked behind her. She had indeed escaped the encirclement of the evil cultivators from Whale Corpse Island, but the distance was far less than Dong Zhou had promised!
"Junior sister! Where are you?"
Yanli's voice suddenly came.
"Senior sister, I'm here!"
Yuan Yao quickly responded and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see Yan Li standing in the air about a hundred meters away.
The teleportation of the small teleportation talisman is completely random, and the fact that the two of them were able to get so close is already quite lucky.
"Senior sister, Dong Zhou wasn't telling the truth; we've been set up!"
The two women immediately ran to meet, and the first thing Yuan Yao said upon meeting was with great concern.
"Never mind that for now, let's run for our lives!"
Yanli swallowed a pill, and her aura immediately increased.
Immediately afterwards, she summoned a small, light willow-leaf boat.
After the two women boarded the boat, Yanli sat down cross-legged and used all her strength to propel the spirit boat away, while Yuanyao offered up a blue crystal bead and also used it at full power.
Instantly, bursts of blue spiritual light emanated and adhered to the surface of the willow leaf boat, further increasing its speed!
