Chapter 1191: The Power of the Imperial Court
“What…?”
“All those elites just up and left?”
“Are you saying that even they find that they’re not the alliance master’s opponent?” While the alliance master’s entire focus was on Tsao Suiyan, Dongfang Bubai, and Ye Gucheng, Happy and the others quickly left. This scene instantly attracted quite a number of players’ attention.
Even the people in the dao of heaven were prepared to leave, and this instantly shocked the remaining players in the area. They discussed this among themselves.
“Tiger Soul is definitely not something we can touch…”
“Let’s go.”
“We’ll retreat further away so that we can watch this.”
“That’s right. It’s not everyday that you can watch a fight between people in the dao of heaven.”
But there were a whole lot more people who wanted to retreat to a relatively safe area to watch the fight.
At that moment, as Tsao Suiyan gave his orders, an arrow shower that filled the skies rose up from the quicksand in the area like a black sandstorm. Whooshing sounds shot up, and with a terrifying pressure and a destructive presence, they headed to the alliance master, who was still levitating in the air.
The Embroidered Uniform Guards who were brought into the desert to hunt down Cao Huaian were the elites in the organization. They were all ace archers, and they could fire several arrows in one go. Shooting multiple arrows in a chain was easy for them.
The power of this arrow shower was much greater than the arrow showers that were usually seen when two armies fought against each other.
The arrows that could fill up an entire area reach the air in one breath. They locked down on each area that the alliance master could possibly move to to avoid the arrows.
What was more terrifying was that an unknown number of demon vessel arrows were mixed in the arrow shower. Even a person in the dao of heaven would face a tragic end of being shot full of arrows if he was careless.
Shick!
Tsao Suiyan’s power was instantly revealed.
In the air, when the alliance master sensed the power from the arrow shower that shot at him from everywhere, his expression turned a little cold. He swung Tiger Soul, and several saber glares were instantly formed. They swept at the arrow showers coming at him from everywhere like a violent gust of wind blowing at fallen leaves.
That was the power of the dao of heaven!
For the first time, the alliance master mixed the power of the dao of heaven in his attacks.
The air seemed to have been torn into pieces. The show-white saber glare formed ring-shaped black rays of light, and with a destructive force that could not be resisted, they charged at the arrow shower.
Whoosh!
Even though the arrow shower was fierce, when it was sent scattering, each individual arrow only contained the power of those in Inaction Realm.
Under the might from the dao of heaven and the ferocity of Tiger Soul, before the arrows in the lead could get close to the tiger-shaped saber glares, they were sent scattering all over the place, and they lost their power.
Most of the remaining arrows were reduced to powder once the black saber glare swept at them.
However, each arrow could take a hint of black with them from the rays of black light, making it seem as if they were negating part of the power in the tiger-shaped saber glares. When more than one thousand arrows vanished, the first ray of light completely vanished.
It was followed by the second ray of light, and the third.
The power of ten thousand arrows could not be negated so easily.
Even though the saber glares spread out in layers, caused the weather to change and looked incredibly cool, all the people down below were elites, and their speed in drawing their bows was astonishingly fast. The arrow showers charged at the alliance master endlessly. The arrow shower pushed forward, as if there would never be an end to them. The pressure the alliance master faced grew.
Right after a batch of arrows were destroyed and before the alliance master could regain his breath, another batch of arrows went charging at the alliance like a black cloud made of arrows.
“Ants!”
Very soon, the alliance master noticed that he could not fight alone against thousands of martial artists who attacked him with their full strength. His gaze turned fierce. He put his saber away, sank down, and suddenly vanished from the air.
“Where are you going?!”
“Don’t let him run!”
Even though no one could see the alliance master because the arrow shower was blocking their view, the three people in the dao of heaven down below were not so easily fooled.
When they saw that the thousands of Embroidered Uniform Guards were suppressing the alliance master, Dongfang Bubai, Ye Gucheng, and Tsao Suiyan would definitely not let the alliance master be able to escape so easily.
“Heavenly Flying Immortal!”
Once Ye Gucheng came out of the desert palace, he had recovered slightly from his injuries. When he saw that the alliance master was about to escape, he executed his trump card without hesitation.
He turned into two people, then four, then eight.
Dozens of figures moved like immortals, and with nimble movements, they quickly filled a part of the air. They overlapped with each other, and while they moved gracefully and ethereal manner, they charged at the alliance master.
Heavenly Flying Immortal!
As the powerful qi activity affected the area, the alliance master slowed down a little. He was forced to reveal himself in the air, and he appeared before the Embroidered Uniform Guards.
“Open up!”
The alliance master delivered a strike without hesitation.
“ROAR!”
The roar of the king of beasts rose in the air. It was one strong enough to break metal.
At that moment, a huge, white tiger manifested from Tiger Soul and charged out of the blade. Its claws tore at the sky. With a domineering air that devoured everything, it shot out triumphantly.
Boom!
The air shuddered.
Wherever the huge, white tiger passed through, dozens of Immortal-like shadows would be torn apart.
At the same time, countless white figures in the area froze. The killing intent hidden within those drifting figures seemed to have been cut in half.
In the next moment, the many white figures in the air were destroyed and reduced to countless fine bubbles. Then, they scattered into the finest powder.
Heavenly Flying Immortal was destroyed with just one earth-splitting slash from the alliance master.
“Cough!”
Ye Gucheng grunted and flew out of the air. He fell down to the quicksand with a bang.
“Die!”
The alliance master did not stop attacking even after he destroyed Heavenly Flying Immortal. He chased after Ye Gucheng, since he had the advantage. He flung the saber, and a thunderous roar rose in the air once more. The saber glare charged at Ye Gucheng in an aggressive manner.
Fourth Level of Sunflower Manual!
A layer of red clouds suddenly rose from down below.
When he saw that Ye Gucheng was defeated, Dongfang Bubai attacked resolutely!
Red threads linked to dozens of embroidery needles formed a red sunflower that faced the sun. They moved past Ye Gucheng’s body and charged at the alliance master in an enchanting manner.
The white tiger might be fierce, but when it faced Sunflower Manual, which prioritized in gentle but fierce attacks, its mighty power in the dao of heaven was instantly cut into dozens of parts by the sunflower. It was torn to the point that it lost its original form.
After the red sunflower tore apart the white tiger’s body, it continued flying to the alliance master. Dongfang Bubai’s imposing might and strength was fully revealed, and it was a complete embodiment of his words, “The sun rises from the east, it is an indisputable law of nature, and I too, shall remain undefeated, because it is a law of nature.”
The alliance master’s expression changed slightly, and his charge came to a halt.
At that moment, Dongfang Bubai immediately forced him back into the attack range of those Embroidered Uniform Guards.
The arrow shower charged at him like a dark cloud.
Dongfang Bubai had always been an unforgiving person. He crossed his arms and moved his hands. The presence of the enchanting sunflower changed from gentle to tough. It broke into several parts and weaved itself into the arrow shower silently.
When they were in the pyramid in the desert palace, even when Dongfang Bubai worked together with five other people in the dao of heaven, they were not the alliance master’s opponents. But now, he had thousands of Embroidered Uniform Guards, Tsao Suiyan, and Ye Gucheng helping him. There was no way he would not treasure this rare chance.
The full-powered attacks from the people in the dao of heaven and the fierce assault from thousands of Embroidered Uniform Guards instantly created quite a lot of trouble to the alliance master.
Ye Gucheng was originally in a dangerous situation, but due to Dongfang Bubai’s astonishing move, the alliance master’s situation took a turn for the worse, and in an instant, he was surrounded by trouble.
“Hmph! How despicable!”
His voice was like a thunder clap!
The alliance master roared. He swung Tiger Soul madly and created layers of intersecting saber glares that charged fiercely at Dongfang Bubai’s embroidery needles.
Even though the arrows were also threatening, the alliance master was still able to accurately predict which was the true danger between these two attacks.
He might be injured if the arrows hit him, but if Dongfang Bubai kept bothering, he would definitely be unable to turn the tables.
In an instant, he made his decision.
The dazzling sunflowers were instantly sent flying by the endless, snow-white saber glares.
However, since Dongfang Bubai had the advantage, it was impossible for him to stop so easily.
He made his arms dance nonstop.
Batches of embroidery needles shot out of his sleeves.
The elite in the dao of heaven turned into an elite of hidden weapons at that moment. Rows upon rows of embroidery needles charged forward in a seemingly endless fashion, and they went to the alliance master.
The waves of embroidery needles came one after another.
The alliance master could not go higher into the sky or land on the ground. He used the endless saber glares to shatter the embroidery needles while he activated his body fortification. He used the power of the dao of heaven to crush the demon vessels that drew close to him.
As for the normal arrows, they could not even touch the qi on his body fortification.
Even so, the group of demon vessels mixed in the arrow shower continued charging forward, and his body fortification was still swiftly whittled down.
“Hmph!
“Even if you’re the alliance master of Heaven and Earth Alliance, you’re nothing…”
Tsao Suiyan, who had a gentle and fairface, coldly watched from the crowd as his subordinates gradually weakened the alliance master. A hint of brutality and callousness appeared on his face.
At the same time, the group of players in the distance saw the situation over here, and they became conflicted.
“This is…”
“The alliance master seems to be in a tough situation.”
“That Tsao Suiyan… the Embroidered Uniform Guards are indeed not to be underestimated.”
“Duh! There is no dynasty where our nation has ever been weak.”
Since the alliance master was suppressed, it caused the players who did not intend to stay around to start cooking up plans to grab Tiger Soul.
That included the people from Wind Assault Tower. They watched the alliance master fight against the Embroidered Uniform Guards and the three people from the dao of heaven, and they started thinking about how they could sweep in and reap the benefits.
The groups who were thinking about leaving or were already in the distance stopped moving.
Silver Wolf, Knife, Thunder, and Bar all started thinking about how they could steal Tiger Soul as well.
“I think we have a chance!”
“Judging by Wind Assault Tower’s actions, they should be thinking about swooping in and stealing Tiger Soul. Big Brother Silver Wolf, should we…” Knife discreetly made a gesture only the four of them could understand. Silver Wolf frowned and thought about it for a while before he shook his head slowly.
“Forget about how we can’t fight against those in the dao of heaven first. Even if those in the dao of heaven do end up killing each other, we might not be able to get Tiger Soul from Wind Assault Tower.”
“I don’t think so. Tiger Soul is a really fearsome weapon. It definitely has unique attributes!”
Knife’s eyes shone with an ambitious light.
“That’s right. It’s precisely because Tiger Soul is too fearsome that we shouldn’t take it. Do you think that we’ll be able to master it?” Silver Wolf narrowed his eyes and cast a glance in the direction where the alliance master was fighting against the three people in the dao of heaven. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked in the opposite direction.
“Big Brother Silver Wolf, what are you looking at?”
Knife, Bar, and Thunder quickly noticed the strange puzzlement and complicated feelings in Silver Wolf’s eyes.
When he heard this, Silver Wolf shook his head again. His gaze did not change.
“I don’t know either. I just think that the white-clad teenager has a very strange identity.” His tone was solemn.
His party members did not find what he said strange. Instead, their expressions became grave.
This was because Silver Wolf had been able to accidentally spot unusual information since a long time ago. In his words, his instincts were sharp, though it would be more accurate to say that he had the sense of smell a wolf was born with.
