Longevity: My Talents Are a Bit Abundant

Chapter 933 - 696: Close-Quarters Combat

"Fellow Daoist Guo, this old man can only be shameless and earnestly beg Fellow Daoist to strike with your full strength!"

He and Guo Shiyan were the only two Tier Three Cultivators in the team.

This wilderness expedition had been far more brutal than anticipated.

Of the more than one hundred and twenty clansmen he had brought, thirty percent had fallen.

And that did not include those heavily wounded who had lost their combat strength.

He could not allow the backbone of this generation of the Liu Family to be completely buried here.

"Does the Patriarch have a reliable plan for retreat?"

Shen Xuan asked.

He knew the other party surely had some contingency.

"To speak frankly with Fellow Daoist Guo, this old man carries on him a Tier Three Spaceship treasured by the clan. Personally piloted by this old man, if we squeeze a bit, we should be able to take all surviving clansmen aboard."

Shen Xuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping toward that ominous "black cloud" atop the distant ancient trees.

Seeing where his gaze landed, Liu Minglin gave a bitter smile and said, "Fellow Daoist has sharp eyes. This ship is no Warship; its offensive and defensive power are limited. If that flock of feathered beasts keeps entangling us…"

"No matter."

Shen Xuan's tone was calm: "This flock of Black-Winged Cold Crows, Guo can still hold off to some extent."

"In that case, I'll trouble Fellow Daoist!"

Liu Minglin let out a long breath.

At this point, he could only stake this final sliver of hope on this unfathomable Honored Guest.

The Liu Family cultivators reacted extremely quickly, clearly having long prepared a contingency plan.

As soon as Liu Minglin summoned forth that Tier Three Spaceship shaped like a barracuda, everyone supported the wounded and streamed into the cabin one after another.

The two Clan Elders Liu Mingzhi and Liu Mingli, leading more than ten Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Body Realm juniors, held the line stubbornly before the shattered camp to cover the retreat.

How could the Silver Electric Wolf King sit back and watch its prey escape?

With a long howl filled with fury, that giant wolf whose shoulders stood close to three zhang high led dozens of ferocious Wolf Guards, surging forward like a torrent of silver!

Demon Qi soared to the heavens, Evil Qi pressed in suffocatingly.

A Tier Three Demon King!

Relying on just the two Clan Elders and a dozen or so Foundation Establishment Realm and Golden Body Realm cultivators, it was absolutely impossible to stop it.

And at this moment, Liu Minglin was at the ship's bow, inserting Upper Grade spirit stones and fully urging the Spaceship.

The hull emitted a low, deep hum and slowly lifted off the ground.

"Enough, after all we have shared the bond of host and guest."

Shen Xuan no longer stood by as a spectator; he raised his hand and pointed toward his waist.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Nine streaks of flowing light shot out from his Magical Treasure pouch like lightning, in an instant inserting themselves around the camp in the positions of the Nine Palaces.

"Buzz!"

A thick, condensed pale-golden light shield surged forth, shrouding the ruined camp.

Tier Two Top Grade Array, the Minor Nine-Palace Defensive Array!

"Still not getting on the ship?!"

Shen Xuan gave a low shout, his voice shaking the wilderness.

The Liu Family cultivators who were covering the retreat within the Array seemed to awaken from a dream, transforming into Escape Light one after another, pouring all their strength into dashing toward the Spaceship that had already risen several zhang into the air.

"Awoo!"

The Silver Electric Wolf King charged up to the Array, reared up on its hind legs, and a giant claw wrapped in violent Demon Power, carrying a shrill roar that tore the air, slammed viciously onto the light shield!

Boom!

The light shield trembled violently, flickering unsteadily; dense ripples spread across its surface, faint cracks appearing.

The Array Flags buzzed mournfully, nearly shattering.

Shen Xuan let out a cold snort, scarlet light flashed beneath his feet, and the Fiery Light Flame Saber lifted his body, turning into a streak of fire that shot straight toward the ship's deck.

At the same time, he swept his sleeve.

The nine Array Flags uprooted themselves, turning into streaks of light that flew back into the pouch at his waist.

The defensive light shield vanished in an instant.

"Caw!"

Almost at the exact moment the light shield disappeared, a piercing crow's cry ripped through the clouds!

The "black cloud" atop the distant ancient trees exploded with a roar!

Several thousand Black-Winged Cold Crows flapped their wings simultaneously, like a cloud of death swooping madly toward the Spaceship that had just taken off.

Their speed was extremely fast; in the blink of an eye they had already closed in, sharp beaks and hook-like claws flashing with cold light, about to drown the Spaceship.

Shen Xuan, who had just landed on the deck, darkened in expression.

"Courting death."

He pointed with two fingers at another dusty gray pouch at his waist.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

A dozen or so silver-gray streaks of light flew out in response.

They were precisely those Puppet Divine Eagles only half a foot long, with streamlined forms.

They swiftly dispersed, like loyal guards, circling around the Spaceship.

The Liu Family cultivators on the deck mostly showed looks of astonishment, even disappointment.

How could such tiny Puppets possibly withstand a sky full of ferocious birds?

Yet in the next instant, their expressions froze.

They saw the dozen-odd Puppet Divine Eagles simultaneously adjust their posture, the section of jet-black "barrel" on their backs suddenly lighting up as a low, rapid Spiritual Power hum came from within.

At the muzzles, dazzling azure lightning frantically gathered and compressed, emitting crackling detonations.

Immediately after.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

It was not a single sound, but a barrage!

The dozen or so Puppet Divine Eagles all fired in the same instant!

Each Divine Eagle, in a blink, spat out more than ten Thunder Spirit Pearls the size of longan fruits, wrapped in raging arcs of electricity!

Over a hundred Thunder Spirit Pearls turned into a blue-white curtain of death, smashing head-on into the flock of crows!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Deafening chain explosions tore the sky apart!

Blazing bolts of lightning blossomed one after another, weaving into a net of annihilating electricity.

The violent Power of Thunder rampaged, and the air filled with the acrid stench of charred flesh.

Piercing cries of crows rang out in unison.

The Black-Winged Cold Crows charging at the very front were blasted into clouds of blood and charred cinders within the thunderstorm, or bombarded by arcs of lightning until their feathers flew, wailing as they plummeted toward the ground.

In the span of a few breaths, the space within several dozen zhang around the Spaceship was swept clean!

Liu Minglin snapped out of his shock, wild joy surging in his heart.

He no longer dared to hesitate, and fully urged the Spaceship, pushing its speed to the limit.

The azure Spaceship turned into a streak of flowing light, riding the bloody path carved open by thunder and fire, hurtling away.

Behind them, the Silver Electric Wolf King raised its head to gaze at the Puppet Divine Eagles guarding the Spaceship, a trace of dread appearing in its wolf eyes.

...

After breaking out of the encirclement of the Silver Electric Wolf pack, the Liu Family's Tier Three Spaceship flew at full speed for an hour, finally descending in a secluded and hidden mountain valley.
