NOVPUBChapter 771: Chapter 417 Split Up to Chase and Kill_2 Chapter 771: Chapter 417 Split Up to Chase and Kill_2 This gap in strength, there was no hope of victory.
Clearly, the leading Myriad Medicine Valley Disciple understood this, as did Long Qingshui, both keenly aware of the vast disparity.
As they pondered their next move, Jin Weihe and Dong Wenchang on the other side seemed unwilling to waste time.
“Dong Daoist friend, to avoid any unforeseen complications, let’s make our move quickly!”
After saying this, Jin Weihe immediately launched an attack.
Seeing this, Dong Wenchang also didn’t delay; he too summoned his Magical Treasure and unleashed a barrage of Sword Qi towards the Golden Flying Boat opposite them.
“Boom…”
...
In an instant, the two Golden Core Cultivators acted, and even a casual strike from them contained tremendous might, enough to annihilate a Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivator.
In that moment, Long Qingshui and the many Myriad Medicine Valley Disciples turned pale, as they immediately began to maneuver the flying boat in an attempt to dodge.
However, the attack from the Golden Core Cultivators was too swift; with both Jin Weihe’s and Dong Wenchang’s attacks forming a pincer maneuver, there was no way to dodge their assault.
“Bang…”
Two loud noises followed, and the Golden Flying Boat was hit directly by the attacks from Jin Weihe and Dong Wenchang.
Instantly, the assaulted flying boat plummeted from the sky at high speed, eventually crashing heavily onto the ground.
Looking over, the Golden Flying Boat had holes in its surface, and the protective light shield around it had disappeared.
Clearly, the highly valuable flying boat was now on the verge of scrap, and if a Third Order Artifact Refining Master didn’t re-refine it, it would likely be unusable.
Inside the flying boat at that moment, dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators with relatively lower strength spat out copious amounts of blood and their vitality rapidly dwindled.
Seeing this, the leading Myriad Medicine Valley Disciples turned even paler, gaining a new understanding of the attacks from Golden Core Cultivators.
However, this was only because the flying boat was made of exquisite materials, and plenty of Third Order Spiritual Ore was used, rendering the Flying Artifact exceptionally defensive.
If it weren’t for the flying boat absorbing most of the force, the two strikes from Dong Wenchang alone would have been enough to kill the dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
Given the circumstances, the leading Myriad Medicine Valley Cultivator didn’t have the luxury of fretting over the flying boat, instead having to quickly think of a plan.
Otherwise, once Jin Weihe and Dong Wenchang made another move, their chances of survival would be slim.
Realizing this, the Myriad Medicine Valley Cultivators’ minds raced with thoughts.
But in the current situation, they had no viable solutions; after all, they neither had the assistance of a Golden Core Cultivator nor any powerful magical treasure that could threaten the lives of Golden Core Cultivators.
Under such an overpowering disparity in strength, they had no chance to fight back.
Even so, these middle-to-late stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators hadn’t sustained serious injuries, and facing a life-and-death crisis, they couldn’t just sit and wait for death!
Whether or not there was hope to drive back the Golden Core Cultivators, they had to try. If all else failed, they could only scatter and flee for their lives, saving whoever they could.
Thinking this, the leading Myriad Medicine Valley Disciple spoke up first, his resonant voice ringing out.
“Everyone, abandon the flying boat, come out and surround the Golden Core Cultivators to attack in unison; if we don’t beat them back, we have no chance to escape!”
“So if you want to live, don’t hold back, or it will be a dead end for you!”
Hearing these words, the Myriad Medicine Valley Disciples responded one after another.
And the other summoned Cultivators also seemed to find a backbone, snapping out of their panic.
Following this, the leading Myriad Medicine Valley Cultivator was the first to leap out of the flying boat, with other Myriad Medicine Valley Disciples quickly following suit.
The other summoned Foundation Establishment Cultivators, not willing to be left behind, also emerged, each unleashing their strongest attacks or operating numerous Attack Talismans, bombarding Dong Wenchang across from them.
“Boom…”
The sky was filled with a dense barrage of attacks, a multitude of Sword Qi, flames, light beams, and Spirit Groups raining down on Jin Weihe and Dong Wenchang from above.
Although the individual strength of one or even a few Cultivators was marginal against a Golden Core Cultivator,
this place had over three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators, with nearly a hundred of them being at the late stage.
With so many Cultivators attacking together, even Jin Weihe and Dong Wenchang couldn’t afford to be careless, lest they capsized in the proverbial gutter.
Realizing this, the two shifted positions, weaving through the numerous attacks.
For those attacks they couldn’t dodge, they simply struck out, scattering them, before continuing on towards the direction of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
“Bang bang bang…”
Explosions thundered through the sky as Dong Wenchang and his companion fired off attacks to the left and right, shattering a barrage of incoming assaults before hurtling forward.
However, the density of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators’ attacks was simply too great.
Even though Dong Wenchang and his partner relied on their speed to dodge and directly counter the attacks, some still managed to hit them.
One or two hits weren’t a big deal, but when there were too many, relying on their protective light shields to block them still meant enduring some recoil.
For a moment, the two couldn’t help but grunt, forcibly bearing the damage from these strikes.
Finally, they broke through the dense array of attacks and arrived right in front of the flying boat.
At this moment, the distance between the two parties was no more than a few hundred zhang.
For a Golden Core Cultivator, such a distance was merely a breath’s time away and they were well within the optimal range for an attack.
As the first wave of attacks ended, aside from the flashes of pain across their faces and some charred wounds on their bodies, Dong Wenchang and his fellow showed no signs of serious injury.
At this moment, everyone’s faces turned ashen, knowing all too well that the idea of repelling Golden Core Cultivators was far too naive.
But there was no time to think or any other choice as the attacks from Dong Wenchang and his companion had already descended upon them.
In this desperate situation, the more than three hundred Foundation Establishment Cultivators displayed a determined look and forcefully unleashed their strongest attacks.
“Rumble rumble…”
The sky was once again filled with all sorts of attacks, clashing fiercely with those of Dong Wenchang and his companion.
A series of explosions rang out, as the attacks from Dong Wenchang and his partner obliterated many assaults with ease, relentlessly advancing towards the Foundation Establishment Cultivators.
In the blink of an eye, dozens of Foundation Establishment Cultivators were too slow to dodge and were enveloped by the two attacks; they were annihilated before they even had the chance to scream.
Not only that, but the blast from the explosions created a massive shockwave that seriously injured many of the weaker Foundation Establishment Cultivators, causing a large number of Cultivators to spew blood incessantly as their vital energy quickly waned.
Once the firelight dissipated, a brief calm returned to the sky.
At this point, everyone was deathly pale, completely devoid of the will to fight.
The leading Myriad Medicine Valley Disciple was also sporting an incredulous expression.
Inwardly heaving a sigh of frustration, he then shouted loudly, “We cannot defeat them even if we join forces, run for your lives!”
Before his words even finished echoing, he had already taken the lead and flown off in one direction.
Seeing his actions and hearing these words, everyone started frantically scattering in all directions.
Long Qingshui was no less determined, leading his fellow disciples to shoot off in various directions different from the Myriad Medicine Valley Cultivators.
In an instant, the remaining two hundred plus Foundation Establishment Cultivators, injured and uninjured alike, all dispersed and fled.
In the blink of an eye, Cultivator figures appeared in all directions of the sky, and some, in their panic, ended up directly in front of Dong Wenchang and his partner.
Seeing this, Dong Wenchang and his partner frowned deeply and casually struck, killing off the closest dozens of Cultivators one after another.
After a dozen breaths, Dong Wenchang and his fellow regrouped.
By then, as they had been dealing with the closest Cultivators, many had already escaped far away.
When they were ready to pursue the scattering Foundation Establishment Cultivators, who were disappearing into the distance, they didn’t know whom to chase after.
It wasn’t their fault; rather, there was simply too much for the two of them to handle. Even though they were fast and much stronger, there were more than two hundred fleeing Cultivators, with nearly a hundred being Foundation Establishment Late-Stage Cultivators.
These were not mere Qi Refining Cultivators – facing the threat of death, their speed of escape was not slow.
If they had only a few dozen people to chase, perhaps they could have caught and killed them all in no time.
But there were too many fleeing Cultivators going in all different directions; they couldn’t possibly keep up.
Watching the Foundation Establishment Cultivators get farther and farther away, the two wore reluctant expressions and each chose a direction to give chase, resolved to kill as many as possible.
Those they couldn’t catch, they simply had to let go, until at last they disappeared from the range of their Divine Sense.
