Chapter 1732
Chapter 1732
The failure this time did not anger Gustin.
As a powerhouse on the King Ranking, not only did he have no weaknesses in his combat strength, but he was also very smart.
Under the covetous eyes of many forces, he could not let his people face the cultivators of the Imperial Celestial Region who had supreme-grade Royal Weapons alone.
The real trouble was not before they boarded the ship, but after they boarded the ship.
Although they did not have the experience of boarding a ship, they still had the experience of seizing treasures. It was impossible for the entire ship to gain something.
After cleaning up the battlefield, Zi Chen signaled for the team to continue forward.
The rest of the journey was very smooth. They did not encounter any obstacles until they reached the edge of the Azure Sky Region.
After passing the Azure Sky Region, they arrived at the Zhentian Region. The dragon ship stopped in this region.
Lei Long, who had awakened and broken through, easily sensed the direction of the dragon ship. Then, Lei Long guided everyone forward.
Not long after this journey, they encountered other forces.
When the two sides met, they did not say much. They did not even speak. The word "kill" was enough to solve everything.
The energy shook violently. The people who came attacked with their full strength, and there were immediately casualties.
Soon, Man Shi exploded with power and swept out with his black staff. However, the team that had just arrived turned around and left without any hesitation.
"What's going on?" Looking at the dozen or so corpses on the ground, Man Shi was puzzled.
From the beginning to the end, the battle was over in less than a minute.
The black rod in his hand had not even warmed up yet.
Throwing the black rod back, Man Shi deactivated his transformation state and walked back to Zi Chen's side helplessly.
But a moment later, some rustling sounds came from the forest.
By the time everyone noticed it, many people had already appeared in their sight. No, they were not people, but skeletons.
All of them were skeletons. Their bodies were made of bones. Some of the bones were as white as jade, and some emitted colorful light. In their skulls, soul flames burned. They held bone weapons tightly in their hands and rushed over.
These skeletons were also a kind of foreign race. After they arrived, they did not say a word and jumped over.
Another battle broke out.
"Bang."
A seven-colored weapon directly shattered the bones of a skeleton. The cultivator holding the seven-colored weapon turned and rushed to the next target.
However, the scattered skeleton suddenly reassembled, and a bone blade pierced into the cultivator's chest from behind.
After that, the Skeleton Man nimbly pulled out his bone knife and rushed forward. He grabbed the opponent's seven-colored weapon and fled into the distance.
"Only by destroying the souls of these skeletons can we truly kill them." Not far away, Zang Yongsi's voice sounded. Beside him, the soul flame of a skeleton was extinguished.
"Drink."
Man Shi shouted loudly and entered a berserk state.
Whoosh.
The scattered skeletons quickly regrouped. They didn't want to continue fighting and turned to run.
However, as they fled, there were also some powerful existences who tried to kill the human cultivators and steal their seven-colored weapons.
Before Man Shi could explode, the skeleton man had already disappeared from his sight.
After that, Zi Chen and the others encountered several waves of attacks. Every time, they would retreat after a fight, never lingering in the battle.
Although everyone on Zi Chen's side had a seven-colored weapon and didn't suffer many casualties in each battle, the number of battles was increasing.
In just one day, they had encountered five waves of battles. Three people died in one wave, and fifteen people died in five waves.
This was very unusual.
At night, everyone stopped to rest. Man Shi, who was depressed, came to Zi Chen's side and sat down. He complained, "What the hell are they doing? I haven't even fought officially today."
Wu Xie glanced at them and said, "It's obvious that they're here for the seven-colored weapons."
"Seven-colored weapons."
Man Shi was stunned at first, then he said angrily, "So that's how it is. No wonder they left after a fight. These damn guys are really good at scheming."
Seven-colored Royal Weapons were supreme-grade Royal Weapons, and there were hundreds of them at once. The existences from other regions naturally coveted them.
Zi Chen said, "There may be more attacks at night. You guys split into three groups and take turns to fight."
Zi Chen took seven dragon-shaped weapons from the Soul-devouring Clan and revealed most of his trump cards.
Sure enough, these forces launched many attacks at night. They never lingered in the battle. As long as they killed one person, they would take the weapon and run.
They specifically targeted the ninth level late-stage cultivators who were easy to kill.
That night, they launched a total of six attacks and left more than 85 corpses. On Zi Chen's side, 60 people died.
Including the day, they lost more than 85 people.
The team of more than 015 people was now left with 063 people.
During this time, Zi Chen did not fight, nor did the Soul-devouring Clan. As for the cultivators who came to attack, there were no existences on the King Ranking.
With the thunder dragon's guidance, Zi Chen and the others did not take any detours at all. They went straight to the dragon boat.
…
…
Tai Li led the human team back. After several days of fighting, there were only 30 people left in the original team of more than 655 people.
Among them, 27 were powerhouses on the King Ranking. The remaining 68 were just lucky.
The war of attrition ended here. The other teams would come back one after another.
Tai Li walked to Gustin, who was in the middle of a discussion, and said, "Big Brother, we've found out that there are seven dragon-shaped weapons among them. The Soul-devouring Clan hasn't attacked yet, probably to preserve their strength. As for that middle-aged man, who is also the puppet leader, everything is under Sydney's control."
Gustin nodded. As long as he was sure of this, he was no longer afraid of those from the Imperial Sky Region.
However, the dragon-shaped weapons mentioned by Tai Li that were extremely powerful moved him. Then, he asked, "Everyone, the seven dragon-shaped weapons are not weak. Are you interested?"
"Save one for me."
A soul wave spread out, and a skeleton man with colorful light around him spoke. He was a King Level expert in the Zhentian Region, ranked ninth, Bone Demon.
Without seeing the power of the dragon-shaped weapons with their own eyes, no one could imagine how powerful they were. The other existences on the King Ranking did not seem to care.
One of the middle-aged men said, "We'll talk about this later. Gu Yi once spread the news that there's a dragon soul. When will he arrive?"
Speaking of Gu Yi, Gustin's expression turned serious. He said, "He's in the Zhentian Region. It's quite far from here. It should still be some time."
"The dragon soul is the key. We can't make any mistakes," the middle-aged man said.
"I'll send someone to help," Gustin said.
The skeleton warrior from before, Bone Demon, raised his bony hand and said, "No need. I'll arrange it. Wherever there are skeletons, there will be people from our side."
After Tai Li reported this, he immediately left. The five people gathered now were all cultivators on the King Ranking.
Gustin was ranked tenth, the weakest. Bone Demon was ranked ninth. The middle-aged man who had just spoken was called Liu Zhentian, ranked third on the King Ranking. He was also the strongest in the group.
As for the other two, one had a fat head and big ears. His name was Da Yi, ranked seventh. The other was relatively thin, but he was very tall like a bamboo pole. His name was Shou Ping, ranked sixth.
Speaking of the dragon soul, it was necessary to talk about the ancient dragon boat. This dragon boat had appeared many times, and every time, it summoned cultivators. However, because they did not know anything about the dragon boat, very few real cultivators boarded the dragon boat.
Last time, Long Fei was the strongest. Unfortunately, he suddenly changed his mind at the last moment.
However, after that, they learned some secrets in the depths of the dragon boat. Therefore, many cultivators who were preparing to leave stayed and waited to board the dragon boat this time.
Thinking of Long Fei again, Gustin said mockingly, "That idiot Long Fei must not have expected that there are so many secrets in the depths of the world. If he knew, he would definitely regret it to death."
Da Yi, ranked seventh, glanced at Gustin and said, "You should be glad that Long Fei is not here. Otherwise, with the grudge between you two and Long Fei's temper, you would have lost the chance to board the dragon boat."
Gustin said with slight anger, "Da Yi, are you saying that I'm not as good as Long Fei?"
Da Yi said indifferently, "The scar on your face that can never be healed is the best proof."
"Humph, that little bit of power can cause permanent damage to me. I deliberately did not recover. I want to remember the humiliation of the past. This time, I will first kill everyone in the Imperial Sky Region. When I enter the depths of the world and find another opportunity, I will go outside and kill Long Fei."
Looking at Gustin's confident appearance, Da Yi said in a strange tone, "I hope your dream comes true. However, I'm afraid that even if you have an opportunity and can break through, you will still not be a match for Long Fei."
Liu Zhentian, who was ranked third, interrupted the two of them and said, "That's enough. Both of you, cut it out. Right now, what everyone needs to worry about is not Longfei or the Imperial Sky Region. Instead, it's Yuan Jia and Yuan Hua."
When the other four heard these two names, their expressions immediately became unnatural.
Yuan Jia and Yuan Hua were ranked first and second on the King Ranking. The two of them were twin brothers from the Broken Heaven Region.
The elder brother Yuan Jia was ranked first, and the younger brother Yuan Hua was ranked second. However, the two of them often fought. It was said that the younger brother Yuan Hua was not satisfied with the King Ranking.
"Haven't the two of them disappeared for a long time?"
Gu Mo's movements became unnatural. Even his soul flame began to tremble.
The others were the same. The two brothers had strange personalities and were hard to fathom.
They never had any friends. Moreover, because they were both on the King Ranking, they were found by Yuan Hua and inevitably fought.
Although they were all on the King Ranking, they did not gain the recognition of the two. Both sides had unpleasant memories. However, it was said that Long Fei had a good relationship with the two.
Liu Zhentian said, "Twenty years ago, I saw them once. At that time, they were fighting. I took a look and left."
"Those two lunatics, how many years have they been fighting and they are still fighting?" Gustin cursed, but his expression was tense.
Gu Mo's soul flame trembled slightly. Then, he said in surprise, "We found Gu Yi. He will be here soon with the dragon soul."
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief. At the same time, they secretly hoped that the two lunatics would not come.
Half a day later, Gu Yi came.
