Chapter 1942 The Great Expanse (3)
The tall lesser god's face grew solemn. He lunged forward, thrusting his spear to block the incoming attack.
In that instant, a white mist abruptly erupted from the spatial crack, engulfing the lesser god instantly.
Bang!
The lesser god's powerful thrust landed on the white mist, creating a deafening explosion. However, it failed to disperse the mist, which instead grew thicker and wider.
"What is this?" The lesser god's arm went numb. It was clearly mist, yet he felt like he had struck an impenetrable wall.
"Look out!" The black-robed lesser god cried in alarm as he saw Yun Yi unleash another slash.
BANG—
A white light erupted within the mist, followed by a powerful explosion that engulfed the tall lesser god. Before he could react, a terrifying force shattered his arms, shoulder, waist, and legs.
Crack!
The crack of bone echoed through the starry sky. The explosion contorted the tall lesser god's body into unnatural shapes.
"Uwahhhhh!!" The lesser god unleashed a desperate yell, his aura exploding as he desperately fought to break free from the white mist.
"Third brother!" The black-robed lesser god roared, charging towards his fallen brother. The giant axe in his hand glowed with a blood-red light as he swung it at the white mist.
A smile played on Yun Yi's lips as he witnessed the scene. With a wave of his hand, the white mist dissipated instantly.
The black-robed lesser god, caught by surprise, attempted to halt his attack, but it was too late. The giant axe engulfed in a bloody light, slammed mercilessly into the tall lesser god's chest.
Puff! BANG!
A horrifying flame erupted upon the tall lesser god's chest as the axe struck, caving it inwards. His already mangled body burst open, spraying blood everywhere.
"Third brother!!" The black-robed man's eyes turned bloodshot as he howled in sorrow.
In that moment, the tall lesser god lay utterly charred and curled like a shrimp. His body split open, exposing his internal organs and bones. Yet, he clung desperately to life.
Ripp!!
A space-tearing sound echoed abruptly, followed by a terrifyingly sharp light. Yun Yi had made his move.
Grabbing his brother, the black-robed man swung the giant axe towards the incoming attack.
BOOOM!
A colossal burst of energy sent the heavily injured lesser god and the black-robed man flying.
At that moment, Long Qingxuan's figure appeared behind the black-robed man. Her long hair danced in the air as the image of an Azure Dragon materialized behind her. With a long, deafening roar, the dragon unleashed its power upon the man.
The long sword in Long Qingxuan's hand pulsed with a terrifying azure light as she aimed it at the man's heart.
The azure divine light around the sword morphed into a majestic dragon before striking the man's back.
BANG!
"Aahhh!" The black-robed man screamed in agony as the sword pierced his heart.
Long Qingxuan attempted to withdraw her sword and launch another attack, but she found it firmly grasped by her opponent.
"How dare you!" The black-robed man roared, his voice thick with fury. The giant axe in his hand pulsed with a bloody light, and the space around Long Qingxuan instantly solidified, trapping her.
Long Qingxuan's expression changed drastically. She attempted to escape, but the solidified space held her fast.
Yun Yi frowned, his hand twitching towards his weapon. However, before he could react, Yun Lintian had already transformed into a shadow and materialized before the black-
robed man like a ghost.
The Heaven Piercing Sword appeared silently in his hand as he unleashed a swift, vertical slash at the man's neck. Yun Lintian's movement was so fast, the black-robed man couldn't even react.
Puff!
A sharp light flashed through the air as the black-robed man's head went flying. His eyes widened in disbelief, unable to comprehend his sudden demise.
Blood erupted from the severed neck in a crimson fountain. Yun Lintian, his reflexes sharp, swiftly waved his hand to create a barrier, shielding both himself and Long Qingxuan from the spray of gore.
"Are you alright?" He inquired gently.
Long Qingxuan retrieved her sword, her voice barely a whisper. "Thanks."
Yun Lintian offered a warm smile and turned his gaze towards the remaining pirates in the distance.
The pirates, meeting Yun Lintian's direct gaze, shuddered involuntarily. With their leaders gone, their only thought was to flee.
Inside the profound ark, the woman, finally snapping out of her daze, issued a swift command. "Kill them!"
Everyone jolted back to reality and rushed out hastily.
Without the two lesser gods, the pirates were quickly surrounded and overwhelmed by the woman's subordinates, meeting their demise one by one.
Yun Lintian said nothing and returned to his ship.
"Let's go." He checked on everyone and prepared to depart.
"Please, stay, benefactors!" At that moment, the woman rushed over with the middle-aged man.
Yun Lintian turned silently to face them.
"Allow me to introduce myself," The woman said sincerely. "My name is Dongfang Xue. We are from the Far East Trading Group. This is my butler, Fu Yong. First and foremost, I would like to express my deepest gratitude for saving us." Her tone was formal and professional.
Yun Lintian remained silent.
Undeterred by his silence, Dongfang Xue continued, "We are currently returning to our headquarters. Please allow me to extend an invitation to visit my place, where we can express our gratitude appropriately."
Yun Lintian cast a brief glance at the profound ark and then asked, "Do you know how to upgrade a skyship?"
Hearing this, Dongfang Xue smiled and replied, "You've come to the perfect person. The Far East Trading Group possesses expertise in profound ark technology. Upon returning, I can offer you the finest profound ark."
After a moment's thought, Yun Lintian questioned, "Can you tell me the distance between here and the Nine Heavens Realm?"
Dongfang Xue expressed mild surprise. "The Nine Heavens Realm? It would take at least twenty years with your current skyship's speed to reach your destination."
Yun Lintian and his companions were stunned. They hadn't anticipated such a vast distance.
"Alternative methods exist," Dongfang Xue explained. "You can utilize a formation at a transport hub to reach your destination, but it necessitates numerous transfers. This method should take approximately five years."
"Naturally, with our superior profound ark, the Nine Heavens Realm is attainable within a year."
After careful consideration, Yun Lintian responded, "We'll accompany you."
"Thank you for your trust," Dongfang Xue said, visibly delighted. "Please follow us to our profound ark."
