Chapter 808: Chapter 86: Strange Caravan (Part 3)
"Strange, my Divine Soul hasn’t perceived any anomaly, why did the Flying Ship stop?"
At this moment, Sun Kang arrived at the foremost part of the Flying Ship, using Divine Soul Perception for a few moments, his brows furrowed as there was no abnormal situation ahead. According to the Flying Ship’s habit these past two months, it shouldn’t stop without reason.
"Brother Sun, be careful!"
Just as Sun Kang was puzzled, Lin Chen alerted him. Simultaneously, his figure flickered, and upon reappearing, he was already on Sun Kang’s left side, throwing a punch into the air.
Boom!
An energy explosion occurred a foot away from the Flying Ship. As Lin Chen’s figure disappeared, Sun Kang also moved away from his original spot. At this moment, looking at the fragmented Flying Saber outside the Flying Ship, his face showed a trace of fear.
"Brother Gu, I’m grateful beyond words, I will remember your life-saving grace."
The ambushing Flying Saber managed to evade his Divine Soul Perception, which left Sun Kang somewhat afraid. If it weren’t for Gu Fei’s timely reminder, he definitely wouldn’t have been able to dodge.
This Flying Saber was not aimed at killing in one shot. Innate Martial Artists have an instinctive perception of life-threatening dangers, and the one in the dark knew this. The Flying Saber hitting him would only severely injure him.
Yet the situation is unclear; severe injury means risking death.
"Brother Sun, no need for courtesy. My Divine Soul was merely sharp, and upon perceiving, I couldn’t just sit idly by."
Lin Chen offered an explanation, but his gaze turned towards the left side of the Flying Ship. As his Divine Soul expanded, he could perceive nearly ten figures rapidly approaching, and the ambush involved not one Flying Saber but three, targeting three Flying Ships.
"Who dares ambush us!"
A furious roar came from the first Flying Ship, and the next moment Lin Chen saw Yu Family’s three brothers emerging from the Flying Ship.
Lin Chen’s gaze shifted to the second Flying Ship, which remained motionless. This was the core of the convoy, and for two months he hadn’t seen anyone disembark from it; even now, it remained so.
As for Divine Soul probing, this Flying Ship was shielded from such inquiry.
At this moment, as the Yu Family brothers stepped out of the Flying Ship, eight figures appeared from the left forest, eight Peak Innate Second Realm experts, all masked.
"Here’s a chance to live; leave now."
The leading masked man uttered a hoarse voice, clearly manipulated.
"Brother Gu, don’t believe them; masked killers... It’s impossible for them to let us go. Though they have eight Innate Second Realm, some have weaker breaths; the two of us combined with the Yu Family’s three brothers might stand a chance, and there are surely Wu Jia on the second Flying Ship."
As the masked man’s voice fell, Sun Kang’s transmission reached Lin Chen’s ears. Hearing this, Lin Chen subtly nodded.
"Everyone isn’t a fledgling cultivating for the first time. Such words intended to lower our guard are unnecessary."
Yu Xingyao wore a cold smile, addressing both the masked ones and Lin Chen and Sun Kang.
"Choose death if you refuse your chance to live."
A killing intent emerged from the leading masked man, and the other seven simultaneously exuded increased momentum.
The aura of Peak Innate Second Realm Martial Artists erupted all around.
"Brother Gu, act!"
Sun Kang wielded a Long Saber, fiercely facing an incoming opponent with an impressive aura.
Being a Sect Disciple, the Martial Arts Technique naturally had its formidable aspects.
Elsewhere, the Yu Family’s three brothers formed a battle formation, each wielding a Long Spear; although not as powerful as Sun Kang, they managed to hold back four opponents.
Eight attackers remained, leaving three.
Lin Chen didn’t engage all three opponents but chose one, deploying Canglan Sect’s Cultivation Technique in battle.
However, what puzzled Lin Chen was that the remaining two assassins did not intervene, nor did they attack the second Flying Ship but stood at ease as if considering them easy prey.
One breath, two breaths...
Thirty breaths later, another masked Innate Martial Artist joined the assault on Yu Family’s three brothers.
Five against three, Yu Xingyao’s brothers started having difficulties, while on the other side, Sun Kang securely pressured his opponent but only had a slight advantage, unable to assist the Yu Family brothers.
In such progression, defeat awaited the Yu Family brothers.
Yet Lin Chen didn’t aid, finding this battle’s oddity.
The motionless second Flying Ship, along with the leading masked man, both seemed to wait for something.
Three hundred breaths later, a sharp "chirp" echoed throughout the land.
Upon hearing the sound, the masked man’s eyes gleamed, and an overwhelming, suffocating aura instantly shrouded the whole valley, causing a stagnation in the forest haze.
A giant figure emerged from the forest, toppling trees wherever it went. This was a giant towering three taels high, holding two bloody heads in its hands.
Seeing this giant and its gruesome trophies, Lin Chen’s pupils constricted. Was this giant an enemy or ally?
"Da, even you betray the Clan Leader."
Finally, a voice emanated from the second Flying Ship, an old woman slowly stepping out, her presence exuding a daunting aura; Peak of Innate Second Realm.
Among those present—be it Sun Kang, Yu Family’s brothers, or the masked Martial Artists—all were only at Innate Second Realm Early Period. The Innate Power they emitted starkly contrasted with the old woman’s.
The giant’s eyes showed a trace of pain, but became resolute the next moment: "Whoever holds the Clan Seal is the Clan Leader; this is the clan rule. Miss, please come with me to meet the new Clan Leader."
