Chapter 297
297 What is the old ancestor looking at?
The inward pressure brought by this Divine Art was very difficult to resist.
The masked man clearly had a much more powerful reserve of spirit energy, but he couldn’t use it to directly block the pressure of this gravity. He couldn’t even interfere with it. It was as if the spiritual power had no effect on the gravity that was exerted on his body.
Of course, it was not as if he had no other way. The spiritual energy couldn’t directly interfere with the gravity on his body, but it could be integrated into his body, flesh, and blood, and thus enhance the strength of his body, so that he had more strength to resist the inward pressure.
At this moment, he had really managed to resist it.
Lu Chaohe could clearly feel that his gravity divine power was being strongly resisted. He was gradually increasing the pressure, but he could not do anything to his opponent. The power of both sides used the masked man’s body as the battlefield and began an intense battle.
To be honest, the one who suffered was definitely the masked man. In this stalemate, Lu Chaohe had only used up his own spiritual energy. On the other hand, the masked man had used up a lot of his spiritual energy. His body was being pulled by gravity on the battlefield. It was bound to be damaged, and it was not a small injury.
If this situation continued, even if the masked man was at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage, he would not be able to withstand it. Sooner or later, under the continuous accumulation of this kind of damage, his body would gradually collapse and he would die.
However, this was only possible in theory, but not in reality.
On one hand, the masked man didn’t come here alone. He had two other companions outside. On the other hand, Lu Chaohe’s gravitational divine power could not be maintained for long.
Before the masked man could collapse due to the damage to his body, Lu Chaohe would probably run out of spiritual power and have no choice but to stop the power of the God art.
However, Lu Chaohe’s development of his own divine power over the years was not limited to this. He had already figured out many other ways to use the divine power. It was no longer like when he first obtained the divine power, where he only knew how to use gravity to crush people.
He put his hands together and his spirit force circulated. His gravity god art suddenly changed!
Originally, his plan was to create a gravitational point and place it in the chest of the masked man. Of course, that gravitational point was not a physical object. It was not even a body of energy, but a concept. It was the center of gravity that was squeezing it.
Then, he removed the original point of attraction and reconstructed hundreds of points of attraction around the masked man. He surrounded the masked man and exerted force at the same time!
The gravitational effect of each point of attraction was definitely not as strong as one full force, but with hundreds of points of attraction surrounding the masked man, they could form an outward pulling force.
To the masked man, he felt that at first, it was an all-pervasive gravity acting on every inch of his flesh and blood, squeezing him desperately, trying to squeeze him into a ball of rotten meat. At this moment, the pressure suddenly disappeared. Instead, it became a tension from the inside to the outside. It went from wanting to crush him into a meat pie to wanting to tear him apart in all directions!
The force exerted on the masked man by these two methods was almost the same. Previously, there was only one point of gravity, but the gravity there was very strong. Although there were 100 of them now, each of them was much weaker, and the total was about the same as before.
The masked man was an expert at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage. If he could withstand the pressure from before, then he should be able to withstand the external tension as well. Theoretically speaking, there should not be any problem.
But the key was that although the force was the same, it was in the opposite direction. More importantly, this reversal happened in an instant.
This was all too sudden.
It was like in a tug-of-war, when one side was trying to pull back with all their strength, and the two sides were almost equal, but the other side suddenly let go. Wouldn’t that mean that the other side fell to the ground?
Furthermore, this wasn’t letting go. Instead, a force that wasn’t any weaker than the previous one pushed forward.
The masked man was already doing his best to resist. He was trying to reverse his strength and keep up with the rhythm of the change in gravity.
However, he failed.
A perfectly fine person had been torn apart on the spot just like that. His body was torn apart in all directions, turning into pieces of meat that filled the sky, as if his body had just exploded.
To be honest, this scene made people a little panicked.
The battle between Lu Chaohe and the masked man was not without an audience.
The people from the Lu clan and the Qingfeng sect were at the core of the formation and were inside the cabin of the flying boat. They could not see, but those with slightly stronger senses could feel that the battle outside had come to an end. The enemy at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage who had attacked had been blown up.
As for the masked man’s companions, they had seen it with their own eyes. They were still outside the protective barrier, each holding a small knife the size of a palm. This should be the thing that the previous opponent had used to cut through the protective array. Although it couldn’t destroy the formation, it could allow the wielder to temporarily open a small gap and slip in.
Perhaps it was because the person in front of him was stronger, or because the dagger-like thing in his hand was of a higher grade, but anyway, that guy came in first.
The other two initial enlightenment stage cultivators were wearing the same white masks. Although they were not able to enter for the time being, the protective array of the flying boat did not block their vision. They had witnessed the entire process of the battle between Lu Chaohe and the strongest of them.
In the beginning, they were a little confused. After all, they did not experience it for themselves. They could not tell what method Lu Chaohe used to crush the three white flame bullets that the leader had released. However, in the end, when the masked man at the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage was pulled to his original spot and could not move, they roughly recognized him.
This should be a sacred art.
Everyone panicked when they saw the divine power Kasaya.
The two cultivators on the left and right of the flying boat believed that even if they were to attack together, they would not be a match for the leader. In simple terms, they probably wouldn’t be able to defeat this Lu family member who had god art.
The two of them looked at each other across the air and stopped barging into the swift Boat at the same time. They retreated at the same time.
Lu Chaohe heaved a sigh of relief.
He was really holding on now.
In the battle just now, it looked like he was the one who was beating up the other party, but in reality, it was a mess.
In fact, it seemed to be the case. The other party had no room for resistance.
However, Lu Chaohe had paid a huge price to achieve this. More than 90% of his spiritual power had been consumed in this short period of time, and he had little spiritual power left. If the two guys outside were more courageous and really barged in, Lu Chaohe would probably have a hard time dealing with them.
It’s good that you’ve retreated, it’s good that you’ve retreated.
In fact, he had obviously consumed a lot of spiritual energy, but he still insisted on standing there as if nothing had happened. He was just pretending, hoping that the result of the battle would deter the other two.
He didn’t expect that he would really succeed.
Lu Chaohe waited until the two of them had left and could no longer see the situation over here. He quickly took out two pills from his storage bag. One was white and the other was blue. He consumed the pills in the order of white first and blue later.
The White elixir could nourish the meridians so that cultivators would not suffer too much damage after a high-intensity battle after the spiritual energy went berserk. The blue pills could quickly replenish and recover spiritual power.
These two pills made Lu Chaohe feel more comfortable.
However, in the next moment, another Thunderbolt struck down. Immediately after, the entire flying boat trembled and began to roll in the air. Wave
Lu Chaohe flew up in time and was not injured. However, his expression was extremely dark. The protective array of the Flying Ship had been severely damaged!
He had indeed killed that ninth level initial enlightenment cultivator, but it was far from the time to resolve the disaster. Outside, the array that had ambushed them was still striking down with lightning. When he was fighting with his opponent, Fang Ziliang had been controlling the formation and enduring it with great difficulty. But now, he could no longer hold on.
With Lu Chaohe around, the two of them were already having a hard time holding on. It was normal for Fang Ziliang to be unable to hold on after he retreated.
Furthermore, the two initial enlightenment cultivators who had chosen to retreat just now probably had not given up on spying on the swift Boat. They had probably turned to the ambush formation outside and attacked together.
Lu Chaohe was truly in despair now.
He quickly ran to the cabin of the flying boat, where the core array was.
A scene of chaos ensued.
In fact, many of them had already died.
Under the influence of the great damage to the formation just now, after suffering the backlash of spiritual energy, many people with low cultivation could not bear this kind of pressure and their meridians were damaged.
Then, the aftermath of the lightning strike hit the flying boat, causing it to flip over in the air. Many people who had their meridians damaged and were severely injured would have their heads hit somewhere. In a situation where they were completely defenseless, it was not unimaginable for some of them to die directly.
Not to mention others, even Fang Ziliang, who was the most outstanding among the crowd, was bleeding from the corner of his mouth.
Under the heavy pressure of the damaged formation, he had taken the initiative to direct a large amount of pressure directly into his body. If he had not done so, the entire array would not have been just severely damaged. It would have been destroyed.
However, the price was that Fang Ziliang was seriously injured.
Lu Chaohe did not even have the time to count the casualties. Even though he saw with his own eyes that two of the Lu family’s younger generation were lying in a pool of blood on the verge of death, he did not have the time to care. He quickly entered the formation and took over the heavy responsibility from Fang Ziliang. He was trying his best to repair and stabilize the formation before the next wave of lightning struck.
But to be honest, he didn’t see any hope at all.
Fang Ziliang was already seriously injured. As for himself, although he had already taken the elixir earlier, he did not even have the time to refine the medicinal power in this short period of time, so his spiritual power had only recovered by twenty percent at most.
Now, he still had to withstand the lightning strikes of the other party’s magical formation. How could he withstand it? He could withstand it for a while, but could he withstand it for a lifetime?
Furthermore, would there be reinforcements if they defended?
No matter how they defended, it seemed like they were only delaying the time of their complete annihilation.
……
[ Lu Wenchang died in battle. ]
[ Lu mingpan died in battle. ]
……
Lu Qing saw the news of four clan cultivators dying in battle.
He had been cultivating when he suddenly opened his eyes.
This was unusual.
Who is killing my descendants?
The Lu family was the most powerful family in the Feiyun state. On normal days, when the cultivators of the Lu clan were outside to handle some Affairs, they would indeed encounter some accidents. For example, when clearing some small red dots on the map, which were also Crusades, there was indeed a possibility of people dying. However, this was a very rare situation. When there was no big operation, the Lu family would always first investigate the situation before choosing to take action, or to seek stronger Masters or more manpower for help.
Usually, Lu Qing would not receive any news of a clan cultivator dying in battle for a year or two unless something major happened.
What was going on today? In less than two minutes, there were four of them?
Something big must have happened!
Lu Qing tried to recall. He recalled that the descendants of the few families who had died should have followed Lu Chaohe and Lu mingling to the South to do business.
Did they run into robbers?
What kind of Bandit could kill the cultivators of four families in a short period of time with Lu Chaohe’s protection?
However, he didn’t have much time to think about it. Since people had already started to die, things must have reached a very critical juncture.
Lu Qing did not waste any time. He immediately activated the training mode. Then, in the blink of an eye, his consciousness body was sent to Lu Chaohe’s side.
Lu Qing glanced to the side and roughly knew what the current situation was. They had been attacked, and the protective array of the Flying Ship was on the verge of destruction. In the chaos, four cultivators from clans, five cultivators from sects, and more than ten rogue cultivators had died from the backlash of the array and the Flying Ship was attacked.
Her son was not in a good state either. Although he didn’t seem to be injured, he must have experienced a very high-intensity battle before, so much so that he had used up all his spiritual energy.
Moreover, it was clear that the danger was far from over. Lu Qing judged that the formation outside was controlled by at least a level-four formation master. There were more than 100 cultivators of different levels assisting the other party. There were also many initial enlightenment stage cultivators. The power of the formation was still at its peak and was far from its end.
If this continued, the entire Swift Boat and the people inside would be destroyed.
Lu Qing did not say anything else. He exchanged for a ” spiritual power increase ” and gave it to Lu Chaohe.
In the center of the formation, Lu Chaohe, who had just suppressed his feelings of despair and was prepared to fight to the end no matter what, immediately felt a sudden surge of energy from an unknown source in his dried-up meridians.
He was a little confused, but he was more excited and hopeful!
“Even the heavens have been moved by me?”
He immediately directed as much of his power as possible into the Flying Ship’s defensive formation. He was quite accomplished in the field of arrays. In recent years, although he had focused on improving his cultivation, he had not completely abandoned arrays. Although he had yet to enter the level of a level four array master, he was still a little embarrassed.
Now, he was.
Lu Qing exchanged for a [ 4-star formation master upgrade ].
Under this exchange option, Lu Chaohe suddenly felt that his understanding of formations had increased by a whole level.
He was originally a level three high-grade array master. After this upgrade, he directly became a level four standard.
Although he hadn’t learned any new spell formations, this major event had given him a deeper understanding of the Flying Ship’s defensive spell formation.
Now that spiritual energy was no longer a problem and the level of the array had increased significantly, Lu Chaohe quickly repaired the entire array.
The next wave of lightning struck down.
The four initial enlightenment experts outside the Thunder array were very sure that this attack would definitely be able to gnaw down this unexpectedly difficult turtle.
However, the reality of the situation disappointed them.
The airboat’s protective shield, which was already dim and riddled with holes, stabilized in just a short while and blocked the wave of lightning strikes.
Even the flying boat that had been spinning in the sky had already stabilized. Although he had yet to recover his power, he could at least hover in the air and not roll down.
What was happening? “What else could happen in the airboat?”
Lu Qing hesitated for a moment in the swift Boat. He gritted his teeth and made a decision.
He opened the sect system and quickly found Fang Ziliang in his character list.
The sect system could allow Lu Qing to exchange his clan’s exchange tab with the members of the sect. However, the karma required for the exchange would be doubled, and there was no guarantee that the exchange item would be able to display its full effects.
This was actually a huge loss. However, Lu Qing did not seem to have any other choice.
For a moment, he had even thought about whether he should exchange for a resurrection exchange item, then teleport online directly and slaughter all these people who had the guts to attack the Lu clan’s trade caravan like pigs.
However, he quickly calmed down.
He was only left with a three-star resurrection exchange option. It was fine if it was expensive. After all, he had enough karma in his hands. However, the key was that the revival exchange option itself was too rare. It was difficult to get it even for some ordinary things. Before this, every revival exchange option he had used had been used at a very critical moment.
This time, although it was quite critical, it was directly related to the life and death of his biological son. However, since there were other ways to resolve this, Lu Qing did not want to revive himself.
Two [ three star healing ] s were exchanged for at double the price and used on Fang Ziliang.
Logically speaking, if he was a member of the Lu family, one shot of [ three star healing ] would be enough to heal his injuries. However, for a cultivator from a sect, the effect of the system’s exchange option was greatly reduced. He had already exchanged for two, but his injuries were not completely healed.
However, Lu Qing did not plan on switching to a third one. Fang Ziliang’s condition seemed to have recovered to about 70 – 80% of his peak condition. Since he had regained his combat ability, there was no need to restore him to his peak condition.
Lu Qing even created a [ Level 2 healing ] and used it on Lu mingling. With another change of hands, he even got a [ power of initial enlightenment ] and exchanged it for him.
In Ming Ling’s perception, the feeling of his internal organs being turned upside down by the formation’s backlash had been relieved. His body and meridians had returned to their peak.
A moment later, he felt that his strength had suddenly been greatly improved. In one breath, he had broken through a mysterious barrier.
In an instant, he realized that he had suddenly entered the initial enlightenment stage.
All of a sudden, the cultivators of the Qingfeng sect and the Lu clan, who were at the end of their rope, not only recovered their high-end combat strength, but Qiming was also added to the list!
Lu Qing’s voice was also transmitted into Chaohe and Ming Ling’s minds. calm down and guard your mind. The next wave of lightning strikes is coming. After you block it, take the initiative to attack and kill those people outside.
“Father?” Lu Chaohe blurted.
Ming Ling, who was stunned, suddenly understood. He had also met the clan’s patriarch and listened to his teachings in the seclusion chamber behind Yuyan mountain. However, they did not have much contact with each other and were not as familiar with each other as Lu Chaohe. Hence, they did not realize who was speaking immediately. However, when he heard the way his grand uncle subconsciously addressed him, he immediately understood that the clan’s ancestor had directly transmitted his voice to their minds.
Fang Ziliang, a cultivator from the sect, also heard Lu Chaohe’s voice. Of course, he knew who Lu Chaohe’s father was. He thought about how he looked like he was about to die from his serious injuries and how he had suddenly recovered for no reason.
Could it be that patriarch Lu Qing, who was supposed to be far away in the Feiyun state’s anling Prefecture, had personally made a move?
No, I can’t sense the aura of the Golden core stage. That must be a technique left behind by patriarch Lu Qing.
Forefather Lu Qing mocked.
It was terrifying!
No matter what the situation was, the atmosphere in the entire cabin, which was originally filled with despair and thought that everything was over, was suddenly reversed. Everyone’s hearts were at ease.
Since patriarch Lu Qing had a backup plan, what was there to worry about? Everyone would definitely be able to return alive, and they might even be able to kill all the enemies outside who dared to attack!
Another wave of lightning struck, and the situation inside the Flying Ship was even stronger than before, easily resisting it.
After the lightning strikes subsided, Lu Chaohe immediately said, ” “Junior Brother Ziliang, Ming Ling, come with me to face the enemy! We can’t just defend like this and take the beating. We have to take the initiative to attack, only then will we have hope!”
“Alright!”
Fang Ziliang and Lu mingling stood up at the same time.
If Lu Chaohe had said that before, they would have thought that he was crazy. If they stayed here and relied on the flying boat’s defensive array, they might not even be able to defend it, so why would they take the initiative to attack? Wouldn’t that mean that he didn’t want to die fast enough?
But now, they were brimming with confidence!
Especially Lu mingling!
The strange power that emerged in his body made him have the urge to vent. Although his rationality told him that he was at most in the first level of the initial enlightenment stage, and was the younger brother at the bottom of the initial enlightenment stage, he still wanted to go out and find someone to fight fiercely!
Anyway, no matter what, the old ancestor was watching. What was there to be afraid of?
Just do it!
