Devour

Chapter 146: The Sun Chaser Army

Shi Ziyu immediately shouted: "Cheng Bai is a disciple of my Yuheng Holy Temple and is one of the reserved seeds."

Yang Kaiping said quickly: "Brother Shi, he is just your nominal disciple, but he is my direct disciple. If he is considered a seed talent, he should be a pillar of the Medicine Sect. You can't compete with me for him."

Shi Ziyu smiled and said, "Everything has a first come, first served. Cheng Bai will be my disciple first. How about Sect Leader Yang give the place to someone else?"

Yang Kaiping said: "Not right, not right. Cheng Bai is the one who received my true teachings."

At this time, the more quotas for boarding the ship, the better. The two of them actually argued over whether Cheng Bai should belong to their side.

Yun Juan in the Glorious Army shouted, "The two seniors don't need to fight. Cheng Bai is the Hunter King of this session and must go to Shanhui City to participate in the examination. He has also done a great favor to the Glorious Army. This place on the boat has been reserved for Thunder Blade King. Yuheng Holy Temple and Medicine Sect should each pick one person to fill the vacancy."

Shi Ziyu and Yang Kaiping fell silent, but their words were heard by everyone in the square. Many people secretly looked over and talked about it.

There is no need to mention Hei Long, one of the top demon kings in Qiongqi Continent, with a great reputation.

The name of this year's Hunter King Chengbai is well-known to everyone. There is even a legend that he once made a foreign expert retreat without a fight in the final of the Martial Arts Hunting Competition, and his strength is unfathomable.

The joining of these two to the Glorious Legion is a powerful deterrent, preventing opponents from acting rashly.

The righteous forces that were clamoring to seize the spirit boat disappeared, and many big guys greeted them in a friendly manner.

The head of the Wen family asked suspiciously, "Is this kid the Thunder Blade King who has been rumored to be the best in the world for several months?"

Cheng Bai bowed and responded: "My full name is the Thunder Blade King who created the world, the sun and the moon, and swallowed the eight wastelands."

The head of the Qi family blinked his old eyes and said, "The great-great-granddaughters of my Qi family have excellent bloodlines. Each of them has a beauty that can make fish sink to the bottom of the water and geese fall to the ground, and a beauty that can make the moon hide and the flowers blush. Which one did the young master of the Cheng family take a fancy to? Why not marry one or two of them? If another Yin spirit is born, it will attract the world's attention and go down in history..."

Cheng Bai bowed and said politely: "I have a girlfriend."

Shen Rong shouted, "Thunder Blade King, do you still remember me? Come and drink tea often when you are free. There will definitely be surprises for you."

Cheng Bai clasped his fists and said, "Of course, of course."

The evil swordsman spoke in a rhythmic voice: "Looking at the entire continent, there are many heroes, but only this sword saint can be called the second best sword in the world. The name of the first sword is to commemorate my friend Cheng."

I'm so young and haven't retired yet, what am I missing?

Cheng Bai was stunned and could only perfunctorily say: "...I don't need a sword, thank you."

He greeted his two teachers, exchanged some pleasantries, and then turned to the back of the Glorious Legion to meet up with Chi Zhongming and others.

The order in the square was restored. The iron rule of the monks was that strength was respected. It was useless to act tough in front of the strong. The pathfinder just now had been hit hard in the face. It would be better to fight for the five places that could be seen.

The major sects and families have made their plans and are selecting outstanding talents from among them.

Seeing that the situation was improving and that they had overcome the inevitable difficulties, Yun Juan and others felt relieved and stepped up the selection of personnel to board the boat.

When Chi Zhongming saw Cheng Bai, he was delighted and said, "Brother Cheng, the Glorious Army has hired me as a weapon refiner, and I will be leaving with the army soon."

Cheng Bai said: "That's great. So, you want to go to Shanhui City with me?"

Chi Zhongming said hopefully, "Yes. I heard that the area around Mount Xumi reveres weapon refiners like gods, and there are many natural treasures. Maybe I can rebuild a Three Sages Valley there."

Cheng Bai thought that Chi Zhongming often went to the treasure pavilion to check the classics and atlases, so he might have accumulated a lot of knowledge. He smiled and said, "Junior brother, you are going far away to Shanhui City. Why don't you set up a new sect and inherit the master's legacy. If you need anything, I will definitely help you."

Chi Zhongming said, "Brother, if you have anything to do, just come to me."

Cheng Bai looked around and couldn't help but ask Yun Juan, "Where's Ningxiang?"

Yun Juan said, "Xiang likes cleanliness. Let's go to the Spirit Boat to choose a suitable room. I'll let He Lipang accompany her first."

Everyone was busy with their own things, but a strange team came from the foot of the mountain.

From afar, they saw seven teams of horses in white, black, green, blue, purple, blood red and golden colors. They were like a strong wind sweeping away fallen leaves, or like iron hooves trampling over mountains and rivers. They were coming so fast that by the time the major sects and families noticed them, they had already rushed to their front.

Cheng Bai was startled and looked over.

All seven diamonds arrived, with each team having a thousand members. All of them were crystal clear, with dazzling fire colors and healthy and rounded lines. The shortest white diamond was only over three meters tall, and the tallest gold diamond was over seven meters tall. The tallest and the shortest were all lined up in an orderly manner.

Except for the golden color, I have never seen these types before, but I have dealt with the others before.

Cheng Bai's face changed slightly, and he spread the Phoenix Power to its maximum range. He used his consciousness to search for You Fu nearby, but he found no trace. He thought to himself, "He is a great Divine Master. He doesn't need to come in person to deal with a low-level cultivator. Even if he comes, I may not be able to find him."

The Diamond Army was coming aggressively, and some sect disciples did not dare to stop them. They shouted from a distance, "Where are you coming from? What do you want to do?"

The leading gold diamond man said, "Isn't the meeting convened because of my Sun Chaser Corps? How can you not come?"

The disciples of the major sects and families were horrified. The scene was eerily quiet for a moment, then quickly became lively again.

No matter what, they could not be nervous. The most outstanding leader of the three sects and seven halls would lead the officials at all levels and all the sects and families, big and small, to line up to welcome them.

Yang Kaiping said: "I have long heard of the Sun Chaser Corps. I never knew it was so majestic and magnificent. It really opened my eyes."

Shi Ziyu asked, "We didn't invite the Sun Chaser to our conference. With such a large-scale event, could it be that the envoys want to compete?"

In the past, the Diamond Men of the Sun Chaser occasionally appeared in various places, all in the name of envoys, but now the situation doesn’t look like that at all.

The leading gold diamond man said: "I know what you want to do, no need to say any more nonsense, just look."

The 12 gold diamond men raised their hands and shot out a golden beam of light each, which intertwined together to form not a corpse cage, but 12 sides of the same size, instantly forming a huge cube more than four people tall that stood in the square.

When people were confused, the cube quickly turned dark, as if it was wrapped in the deep universe and starry sky. Sparse stars, numerous warships, fierce artillery fire, and fierce sparks were seen inside. It was obvious that an interstellar war was taking place.

Others couldn't recognize what it was, but Cheng Bai suddenly realized it and thought to himself, "It's a three-dimensional projection. Those warships fighting in the void are clearly the starship fleet of the Faceless Clan. They just left the Qiongqi Continent and encountered a strong enemy... No, it's not that simple."

The opponents the starship encountered were the Eyes of Defeat, which were much larger and more numerous.

They are slightly different from those displayed in the Shengjin Pagoda and used by Moruo. They are similar in appearance to the Diamond Man Meteor and are shaped like polyhedron eyeballs, but their weapons are just as powerful as ever.

Whenever it stares at a starship that fails to dodge in time, it will easily turn it into a dazzling ball of light, which will disappear in an instant, leaving countless fragments flying in all directions, and the explosion smoke will slowly spread lightly.

The starships fought back without showing any weakness. Their artillery power was relatively weak, but their maneuverability was obviously much higher. They flew flexibly and formed various formations in a variety of changes.

Each group of ten raiders has its top facing forward, with all its guns sticking out like sharp fangs. With the starship in the center as the center point, the other nine ships spread out to form three claw-shaped curves extending forward, forming a huge whole, like a three-toed giant claw flying freely, covering the target.

Such a claw-shaped formation is conducive to energy superposition and firepower concentration. All rays are brilliantly intertwined at the same point, like ten claw-shaped knives piercing the target's core, effectively improving combat effectiveness and doubling the power. At the same time, they fire at an Eye of Defeat. The intensive attacks are madly poured down, immediately leaving the target covered in wounds.

The Eye of Defeat has a diameter of several hundred meters and is slightly less agile. If it cannot be annihilated and gazed in time to break the opponent's formation, once it is covered by the starship claw formation, it will turn into a gorgeous firework in a moment and disappear into cosmic dust.

Both sides suffered injuries, the battle was thrilling and fierce, and it was difficult to determine the winner for a while.

However, the Eye of Defeat camp had an endless stream of reinforcements in the rear, and the Faceless Tribe had only more than 300 starships to resist stubbornly. Without reinforcements, defeat would be inevitable after a long time.

Cheng Bai looked at the battle situation, but did not see the Faceless Tribe's Earthshaker starship.
