Chapter 1723: Battering
As he stood on the treasure s.h.i.+p, Zhang Feng looked at the perilous situation of the defensive line. His expression couldn’t help but sink as he coldly snorted and said, “These people really thought that they had won. Little Hai, how’s your current state? Everyone on this s.h.i.+p will listen to you. Let’s teach those guys a lesson.”
Zhao Hai smiled faintly and said, “Senior Brother can rest a.s.sured.” Zhao Hai waved his hand as the treasure s.h.i.+p charged towards a ghost-face s.h.i.+p.
The ghost-face s.h.i.+p immediately discovered the treasure s.h.i.+p’s approach. It quickly sent out jade sword messages and pulled into two other ghost-face s.h.i.+ps to face the Zhao Hai and the others.
It was clear that the three ghost-face s.h.i.+ps had coordinated for a long time. They formed a triangle to surround the treasure s.h.i.+p. Zhao Hai coldly snorted as he directed the s.h.i.+p to charge with its highest speed towards the ghost-face s.h.i.+p on the left.
The three ghost-face s.h.i.+ps didn’t expect the treasure s.h.i.+p to be this nimble. They just saw the treasure s.h.i.+p make a sharp turn in the middle of its charge. This was something that the ghost-face s.h.i.+ps couldn’t do.
However, the ghost-face s.h.i.+ps were still able to change their formation. The middle and right ghost-face s.h.i.+ps sped up and charged towards the treasure s.h.i.+p. The left ghost-face s.h.i.+p picked up speed to maneuver itself into a more favorable position.
Seeing this, the corners of Zhao Hai’s mouth couldn’t help but rise. From Cai’er’s computations, if he rushed over and hit the ghost-face s.h.i.+p on the left, the other two ghost-face s.h.i.+ps would collide with the treasure s.h.i.+p. At that time, the treasure s.h.i.+p would be attacked from three sides.
However, Zhao Hai wasn’t planning to be in that situation. As he was about to collide with the left ghost-face s.h.i.+p, the s.h.i.+p suddenly halted as though it was being nailed into the void. Because of its strong momentum, the s.h.i.+p curved at the center before it swung to the right.
This flick caused the treasure s.h.i.+p to hit the right ghost-face s.h.i.+p. The ghost-face s.h.i.+p never expected that Zhao Hai would react like that. It was originally charging towards the treasure s.h.i.+p, but it didn’t think that the treasure s.h.i.+p would come at it. The treasure s.h.i.+p smashed the right side of the ghost-s.h.i.+p and pushed it off course to hit the middle ghost-face s.h.i.+p. With how quickly everything happened, the ghost-face s.h.i.+ps weren’t able to react at all.
Boom! Two ghost-face s.h.i.+ps collided with each other. The impact caused the ghost-face s.h.i.+p in the middle to deviate from its course and hit the left ghost-face s.h.i.+p. The three ghost-face s.h.i.+ps made a series of collisions. The scene looked like it was from a movie.
However, that wasn’t the end of it. Zhao Hai wasn’t satisfied with just colliding with the large artifacts. Instead, he turned around and appeared behind the ghost-face s.h.i.+ps. Then the treasure s.h.i.+p charged once more with all of its power.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Three collisions were heard as the treasure s.h.i.+p hit the three ghost-face s.h.i.+ps. It was a ruthless collision. The previous collision already destroyed the ghost-face s.h.i.+ps’ s.h.i.+elds. Now that the treasure s.h.i.+p crashed into them once more, they were immediately destroyed.
But this also caused the stern of the ghost-face s.h.i.+p to suffer mild damage, it also had a dent on its bow. Regardless, after cras.h.i.+ng onto the three ghost-face s.h.i.+ps, it immediately rushed towards another ghost-face s.h.i.+p.
The brief confrontation between the treasure s.h.i.+p and the three ghost-face s.h.i.+ps has been noticed by everyone on the battlefield. The Black Tiger Wall was very long, however, the Wandering Soul Group didn’t attack the entire wall. They knew that as long as the wall was breached, the whole Black Tiger Wall would be finished.
Because of this, the combatants from both sides weren’t too spread out and the battlefield wasn’t very big. If anything happens in the battlefield, it wouldn’t escape the notice of the Transcending Tribulation Experts.
The treasure s.h.i.+p was able to deal with three ghost-face s.h.i.+ps at little to no cost. This caused the experts to be surprised. As far as they knew, only large artifacts of the nine super sects were able to do it. Other people would not have such capabilities.
Tie Zhantian had an excited look on his face as he looked at the treasure s.h.i.+p. He didn’t think that Zhang Feng’s large artifact would be that powerful. This took a load off his back.
At this time, the treasure s.h.i.+p already clashed with other large artifacts of the Wandering Soul Group. Although the ghost-face s.h.i.+ps were formidable, they weren’t a match for Zhao Hai. One after another, Zhao Hai began dealing with the ghost-face s.h.i.+ps.
Naturally, the treasure s.h.i.+p also received some damage, especially on the right side. This was because Zhao Hai intentionally used the right side of the s.h.i.+p to do his attacks. It was natural for that part to suffer more serious damages.
The Transcending Tribulation Experts of the Wandering Soul Group could no longer sit still. Some of them rushed towards the treasure s.h.i.+ps. At the same time, Transcending Tribulation Experts of the Black Tiger Gang headed over to stop them.
Seeing this, Zhao Hai quickly controlled the treasure s.h.i.+p to retreat from the fight. When he arrived behind the Black Tiger Wall, he commanded the Undead to replace the metal plates on the s.h.i.+p’s right side.
The treasure s.h.i.+p wasn’t made as a whole like the other large artifacts. There were several replacement parts in the s.h.i.+p’s storage room. Therefore, it didn’t take a long time before Zhao Hai replaced the side of the s.h.i.+p.
After commanding the Undead to repair the s.h.i.+p, Zhao Hai turned to Zhang Feng and said, “Senior Brother, we don’t have a lot of replacement parts left. I’m afraid we can use it one more time in a large-scale battle before we’ll have to permanently withdraw. Moreover, we have become the targets of the Transcending Tribulation Experts. We have to cooperate later. When I ask to send spiritual qi to the treasure s.h.i.+p, have everyone send it immediately. This way, we can resist Transcending Tribulation Experts.”
Zhang Feng nodded. They managed to kill a Transcending Tribulation Expert using this method. Naturally, he trusted Zhao Hai’s words.
The reappearance of the treasure s.h.i.+p immediately attracted the attention of the Transcending Tribulation Experts. And there was no way for them to notice that something happened to the treasure s.h.i.+p. Even if they weren’t particularly paying attention, they could still see that the damage to the treasure s.h.i.+p’s right side had been repaired. If they didn’t, then they would have been blind.
Naturally, Tie Zhantian was happy. Hu Liangchen’s group has arrived to help. Moreover, Zhao Hai was able to completely destroy five ghost-face s.h.i.+ps. This caused the pressure on the defensive line to decrease. Although they were still unable to make a counter-attack, stalling them for a very long time was no longer a problem.
On the other hand, the Wandering Soul Group’s situation wasn’t doing well. Hu Liangchen and the others didn’t only bring large artifacts but also Transcending Tribulation Experts.
Originally, the Wandering Soul Group’s Transcending Tribulation Experts weren’t much more than Tie Zhantian. With Hu Liangchen’s arrival, the gap became narrower. Now, with Hu Liangchen’s help, breaching the defensive line has become close to impossible.
When the treasure s.h.i.+p appeared, five ghost-face s.h.i.+ps immediately rushed forward. However, these ghost-face s.h.i.+ps didn’t charge immediately. Instead, they were being cautious.
But this time, Zhao Hai asked Zhang Feng and the others to send their spiritual qi into the treasure s.h.i.+p. Not only did the s.h.i.+p’s speed increase, its power was also greater. It charged towards the five-ghost face s.h.i.+ps and before long it hit the first one.
The treasure s.h.i.+p began to rampage on the battlefield. Whether it be a large artifact or a cultivator, the s.h.i.+p slammed into it. Whenever it hit a large artifact, it would be destroyed. If it collided with a cultivator, they would be crushed.
The treasure s.h.i.+p’s astounding performance was seen by everyone. The Transcending Tribulation Experts of the Wandering Soul Group quickly went forward to block it. However, the Black Tiger Gang sent experts to stop them. Slowly, the battle began to revolve around the treasure s.h.i.+p.
Zhao Hai knew about this but he didn’t say anything. He commanded the treasure s.h.i.+p to fly around the battlefield. He crushed ghost-face s.h.i.+ps and even killed five Nascent Soul Experts. As for ordinary cultivators, he already lost count how many he killed.
The Wandering Soul Group knew that they couldn’t allow the treasure s.h.i.+p to continue running around. After a few clashes, some Transcending Tribulation Experts were able to get out. This time, because of the lack of experts on their side, the Black Tiger gang weren’t able to stop them. Three Transcending Tribulation Experts rushed towards the treasure s.h.i.+p.
Zhao Hai noticed the approach of the Transcending Tribulation Experts. He quickly controlled the s.h.i.+p to turn around. However, the Transcending Tribulation Experts were too fast. And with their dao avatars to help them, two finally caught up with the treasure s.h.i.+p.
Zhao Hai saw this and immediately asked Zhang Feng and the others to increase the amount of energy they’re sending to the s.h.i.+p. The s.h.i.+p’s speed increased once more as it flew towards the defensive line.
The two Transcending Tribulation Experts initially wanted to keep up with the treasure s.h.i.+p. But now that the treasure s.h.i.+p has sped up, they could no longer catch up. They could only look at the treasure s.h.i.+p helplessly as it rushed back to the defensive line.
Roar! Just as Zhao Hai and the others entered the Black Tiger Gang’s defensive line, a heaven shaking tiger’s roar was suddenly heard from the Black Tiger Gang. With how loud the roar was, everyone in the Black Tiger Wall heard it.
The tiger brought endless amounts of aggression. Those who heard the roar could hear the tiger’s anger.
