Chapter 1593 – Breaking Through Poison Mountains
Zhu Zhifeng was very familiar with sword shuttles. After all, the Fireweavers liked to use these kinds of large artifacts. Although it couldn’t accommodate people, its offensive strength was very good.
Sword Shuttles might cause Severed Soul Experts to feel a headache, but Immortal Experts weren’t afraid of it. Rifles used by Immortal Fireweavers could defeat sword shuttles.
This was where Zhu Zhifeng was wrong. What she faced weren’t ordinary sword shuttles, these were Zhao Hai’s sword shuttles. Even if her bullets could break normal sword shuttles, they didn’t affect Zhao Hai’s.
If there were people inside Zhao Hai’s sword shuttles, Zhu Zhifeng’s attack might have been effective. The impact of her bullets to the sword shuttles were enough to injure people inside.
Unfortunately for her, there was n.o.body inside Zhao Hai’s sword shuttles, not even Undead. Besides Yin-yang lightning ponds, there was nothing inside the sword shuttles. Therefore, Zhu Zhifeng’s attacks were useless.
Seeing that her attacks were useless, Zhu Zhifeng’s expression changed. At this time, the other Immortal Experts in the defensive line made their moves and began to attack the sword shuttles. But just like Zhu Zhifeng, their attacks didn’t do anything at all.
Then the Immortal Experts thought of other means to stop the sword shuttles, one of which was to capture them. Just as some of these Immortal Experts attacked the Sword Shuttles with the intention of capture, the sword shuttles suddenly split into smaller sword shuttles. Then these small sword shuttles continued to attack the defensive line.
This time, the Immortal Experts were stunned. They now knew that the sword shuttles were unmanned. So how could they defeat it?
Zhu Zhifeng also noticed this. Upon seeing what happened, she knew that they were going to have a bad time. She immediately sent a command, “All Immortal Experts, come out of the defensive line. Let’s see how many experts the Hundred Treasures Realm brought this time.”
Zhu Zhifeng knew that it was useless if the Immortal Experts kept fighting the sword shuttles. Instead, they might as well fight the experts of the Hundred Treasures Realm.
When they heard Zhu Zhifeng’s command, the other Immortal Experts understood what she meant. Since they couldn’t deal with the sword shuttles, they might as well take the fight to the Hundred Treasures Realm’s experts. They also wanted to see how many Immortal Experts the Hundred Treasures Realm sent.
With Zhu Zhifeng and the others heading out, the sword shuttles were able to move in the defensive line unhindered. n.o.body can block them. They were killing people as though they were cutting gra.s.s.
At the same time, when Mu Yao saw Zhu Zhifeng and the other Immortal Experts heading out, he wasn’t polite and immediately led the Immortal Experts to meet them. This time, they didn’t change places and just fought in the Poison Mountains.
It wasn’t that the Hundred Treasures Realm’s Immortal Experts didn’t want to change places, it was the decision of the Fireweavers to fight immediately. When the Hundred Treasures Realm’s Immortal Experts came out, the Fireweavers immediately attacked. They didn’t give any opportunity to change places.
Seeing this, Mu Yao knew what Zhu Zhifeng was planning. She wanted to use the energy caused by the battle of the Immortal Experts to stop the Hundred Treasures Realm fleet from going forward.
Zhu Zhifeng’s plan was good, but she underestimated the Hundred Treasures Realm. She also underestimated the number of Immortal Experts that the Hundred Treasures Realm sent over. How could 300 Immortal Experts stop 1000?
After discovering Zhu Zhifeng’s intentions, Mu Yao immediately took the other Immortal Experts to attack. It was a 3-to-1 battle of Immortal Experts between the Hundred Treasures Realm and the Fireweaver Race. Because of the number difference, the Fireweavers weren’t able to hold on. In a short time, a hundred Immortal Experts have fallen.
Seeing so many people were lost in such a short time, Zhu Zhifeng understood that the Hundred Treasures Realm couldn’t be stopped. She immediately led the other Immortal Experts to retreat. Seeing the Immortal Experts retreat, the other cultivators naturally wouldn’t stay. Like a swarm of bees, the defenders of the Poison Mountains ran away. The defensive line has been broken.
The fall of the Poison Mountains didn’t bring much joy to Mu Yao and the others. They knew that this was just the first step. There were still plenty of fights waiting for them.
The one who benefited in this battle the most was Zhao Hai. He obtained a lot of corpses to be turned into Undead, including Immortal Expert corpses.
Mu Yao and the others didn’t have any problems with Zhao Hai’s actions. Besides dealing with Immortal Experts, Zhao Hai was almost responsible for fighting the enemy. Moreover, the losses he could incur were beyond anybody’s imagination.
After Zhu Zhifeng and the others left, Mu Yao returned to the h.e.l.l King’s s.h.i.+p. Then they went to the turtle fortress and discussed. Zhao Hai and Mu Yu were naturally present.
Once everyone had settled down, Mu Yao turned to Zhao Hai and said, “Good job. Now what do you think we should do next?”
Upon hearing Mu Yao, everyone stared, including Zhao Hai. It must be known that Mu Yao was the commander of this entire operation. But now he was asking Zhao Hai about the plan. It was clear that he values Zhao Hai’s opinion. Then everyone calmed down. It seems like Mu Yao was training Zhao Hai to be a commander. This was also good.
Pa.s.sing on the torch. Each Immortal Expert paid attention to the next generation’s talents. Some of them paid attention to the younger generation’s cultivation, while the others looked at their skills. Naturally, Mu Yao wanted to grow Zhao Hai’s commanding ability.
Although these Immortal Experts lived extremely long lives, there was still a chance where they would die one day. If they don’t prepare the next generation, then the Hundred Treasures Realm wouldn’t have a great future.
Zhao Hai stared, then he looked at Mu Yao. Mu Yao smiled and gave a nod. Zhao Hai understood that Mu Yao wanted him to say whatever he wanted. Zhao Hai nodded and then opened his computer. This time, what appeared on the projection was a plain. It was covered with all kinds of plants. There were also hills and valleys that were marked.
Zhao Hai pointed towards the marked hills and valleys and said, “Elders, there are nearly a hundred outposts around the Fireweaver’s land. Some of these outposts have been built recently while some were old camps of the Fireweavers that were now occupied by their subordinate realms. We don’t need to worry about these newer outposts. As for these subordinate camps, they’re more difficult to deal with. What I want to say is, we don’t need to worry about Fireweaver outposts. If we just focus on the Fireweavers, their subordinate realms might attack us from behind. We should begin with cleaning up the subordinate camps and advance bit by bit. Although this might slow us down, it would make later fights much easier and safer for us. Moreover, once the final battle begins, there are also the other two realms who would attack together with us.”
Mu Yao nodded and said, “But if we go slow like this, the other two realms might get offended. Then it wouldn’t be good.”
Zhao Hai shook his head and said “Elder doesn’t need to worry about this. Since the Fireweavers treat the other two realms more seriously, their defense towards them should be stronger. It would take some time for the two realms to break through. Their advancing speed might not be any faster than us.”
Mu Yao nodded, he looked at the projection and said, “Do you know about the situation of the two realms?”
Zhao Hai knew that Mu Yao was still worried, so he nodded and zoomed the projection out. The entire Fireweaver Domain was now shown. Zhao Hai pointed at the map and said, “Currently the Divergent Realm and the Sword Realm are in these areas. They still haven’t reached deep into Fireweaver Territory. The Fireweavers have solid defenses against them, it would be hard for them to advance.”
Mu Yao frowned and said, “Now that we advance too fast, we would be sandwiched by the Fireweavers. There won’t be any benefit to us.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “We’ll be fine. Since we’re all riding on large artifacts, our mobility is very strong. If the Fireweavers try to attack us, we can lead them in a circle, or lead them to the Divergent Realm and let them help us deal with them. This will save us from losing people and even show the Divergent Realm how strong we are.”
Mu Yao laughed, then he patted Zhao Hai’s shoulder and said, “Good. Then let’s do it according to your plan.”
Zhao Hai nodded and said, “Then we can depart.” Mu Yao waved his hand and said, “Depart” Zhao Hai complied and led the fleet towards the Fireweaver Domain.
Mu Yao and the others returned to their respective large artifacts, only Mu Yu remained. As Zhao Hai and Mu Yu stood on the top of the fortress, looking at the lands ahead, Mu Yu said, “If we can really eliminate the Fireweavers, the Hundred Treasures Realm will benefit greatly. Not only would we take Halfbeast Island, we can also make the Great Realms treat us seriously. They wouldn’t dare attack us, giving us time to develop our strength.”
Zhao Hai nodded, “I believe the Fireweavers wouldn’t be able to survive. The Divergent Realm and the Sword Realm are determined to deal with the Fireweavers. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have used Halfbeast Island as a bargaining piece. If we fail to deal with the Fireweavers, the ones who would lose greatly would be them.”
Mu Yu nodded and no longer said anything.
