Chapter 1573: Chapter 590: Outside the Martial God Temple (Part 2)
"Wasn’t this old man coming out to look for my son?"
"How did I end up here instead?"
He had originally been following a path, heading straight forward all the way.
Later he had no idea how, but as he walked and walked, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he found he had actually walked out of the Martial God Temple.
He had planned to immediately turn back and continue searching.
But when he lifted his head for a look, he saw the coastline packed dense—Gui Xu Island had launched a massive invasion.
This time they’d brought an enormous force, over a thousand great ships rolling in like a tide. Although there weren’t many ordinary disciples leading troops, all of them were now under the control of the Nanhai Alliance.
But the ones who came here were all elite soldiers and hardened generals.
They had previously hidden on that island of Leng Wushuang’s, disguised as ordinary farmhands.
There were even quite a few lurking in the dark.
Once Su Mo arrived, they split into two forces.
A small number of them used Disguise, changed their appearance, and blended into Su Mo’s team.
The larger main force only quietly followed after Su Mo once he had left.
The Sixth’s calculations were clattering away like an abacus.
Slip into the Martial God Temple, escape Su Mo’s control, then lure Su Mo into the Stone Forest Illusion Array and let that array suppress him.
He himself would seize the chance to push the Emperor’s Shocking World Book to its peak realm.
That way, even if the Stone Forest Illusion Array failed to hold Su Mo down—
He could still fight or retreat at will.
Once he left this Martial God Temple and got surrounded by the Li Sect Disciples led by Su Mo, Gui Xu Island’s experts would also come to the rescue.
With inside and outside working as one, it wouldn’t be hard to annihilate the enemy to the last man.
He hadn’t expected that the Third would spin a sky-covering lie that not only kept him from cultivating the Emperor’s Shocking World Book to the ultimate peak.
Even the "fleeing is the best option" route was sealed tight by a dose of Poison on a bamboo tube slip of paper, blocking it without a seam.
Leaving him with no choice but to fight Su Mo to the death and lose a perfectly good life for nothing.
Now, on the surface of the sea, the fierce battle was at full boil.
Gu Qingsong and Wang Shuai formed battle formations to meet the enemy, the two sides fighting side by side with grappling hooks thrown.
But the enemy’s numbers were too many; they were forced into a defensive circle, stubbornly holding and fending off the assault.
Yang Xiaoyun, Wei Ziyi, and Little Situ had also led the crowd and come out of the Martial God Temple.
Right now Yang Xiaoyun was straddling the White Tiger, charging through the sea of men.
She crashed around wildly; anyone in her path was either shocked to death on the spot by the White Tiger, smashed to pieces by its raised claws, or routed utterly by Yang Xiaoyun’s Canglong Bahuang Dianyun Spear.
On Wei Ziyi’s side, she was traveling together with Little Situ, accompanied by the four girls of East, South, West, and North.
They plunged into the crowd; one person used the Heaven and Earth Yin Yang Plate, grinding opponents until they couldn’t tell East, South, West, and North, while the four girls of East, South, West, and North and Little Situ poisoned them together.
Wherever they passed, it was wails and screams as far as the eye could see.
The great Monks of Jingang Temple couldn’t stay aloof from all this either.
Each of them chanted Amitabha, raising the Great Brahma Golden Physique, fists blasting out with Formless Vajra, mercy in their hearts and wrath in their eyes.
Zhang Quan was leading a group of female disciples from Yukun Palace, hacking and slashing in the battle lines.
Their methods were vicious, even more ruthless than usual.
After all, a group of women—if they wanted others to think twice before provoking them, they had to be fiercer than everyone else.
Even Yin Xiaoyu had brought Raging Waves Palm, Master Zongming, Ghost Wind Lan Wangyu, Thousand Mechanism Hand Wen Dongye, Qingren’s Sword Shu Jing, and Xiao Dao Ren into the fray, all slaughtering together in the field.
The drawbacks of Yin Xiaoyu’s Killing Heart Demon Scripture had eased a little; now her killing intent shook the heavens, utterly extraordinary.
Her whole bunch of subordinates had long been stifled on Su Mo’s big ship.
Now, although this scene scared them half to death, it was also exactly to their liking—they could finally go wild on a grand scale.
As for the Sihai Dragon Heads and the Duan Renjie siblings, there was even less need to mention them...
The strength on Su Mo’s side was anything but ordinary.
It’s just that, in front of the battle formation unfolding before their eyes, it still looked like a cup of water trying to put out a cartload of burning firewood.
The enemy’s numbers were simply too many.
Even if everyone cut loose and went on a full killing spree, hoping to slaughter them all was impossible.
Shi Shengtian’s Heavenly Termination Earth Splitting Fist descended from the sky; Gui Xu Island disciples screamed miserably and fell one after another, only for more experts to charge up to cover and kill.
The old man was grinding his teeth in fury for a moment:
"This just never ends..."
Right as he was muttering, he heard Yang Xiaoyun shout:
"Senior Shi..."
"Hm?"
Shi Shengtian turned his head and looked:
"Younger sister-in-law should just call me Brother Shi. This old man and your man are in sworn brotherhood—how could I deserve the word ’Senior’?"
"Hahahaha."
Yang Xiaoyun threw her head back and laughed:
"Fine then. Brother Shi, with your martial arts so formidable, do you dare join me in taking the enemy general’s head first?!"
As they say, a long defense is bound to fail; being beaten passively has never been Yang Xiaoyun’s style.
At this moment, the way to break the situation was naturally to enter the three armies’ ranks and take the commanding general’s head!
"Why wouldn’t I dare!?"
Shi Shengtian had long had enough of this endless killing where enemies never ran out. He immediately sprang up:
"This old man will cover you—just charge and kill, younger sister-in-law."
As his words fell, his two palms moved in succession. There was a continuous rumbling of explosions; wherever his Hand Power reached, Gui Xu Island disciples screamed and wailed.
Yang Xiaoyun let out a whistle as the White Tiger leaped forward.
It let out a tiger roar in midair, shaking the four directions; quite a few Gui Xu Island disciples whose martial arts were a bit weaker couldn’t help but bleed from all seven orifices.
Seeing this old and young pair and a tiger about to charge their way up—
They heard an angry shout:
"Stop them!!!"
In an instant shadows flew; a group of Gui Xu Island disciples in heavy armor with shields on their backs formed up in front of Yang Xiaoyun and Shi Shengtian to block them.
There was a swish swish swish, swish swish swish!
They unhooked the shields from their backs and flung them out with a sweep of their arms.
The shields gleamed with cold light, thick in the middle and thin at the edges.
Sharp as blades!
Now that they were thrown out like this, even the slightest bump would see you sliced clean in half by these shields.
