Chapter 165: The Deterrence of the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon
The Cultivators from the two families launched fierce attacks one after another against the mountain-guarding array of the Dao Saint Sect.
The disciples guarding inside the mountain gate were equally unyielding.
Protected by the grand array,
they each unleashed their divine abilities, attempting to intercept the opponent's attacks.
Everyone understood that although the mountain-guarding array of the Dao Saint Sect was extraordinarily remarkable,
if they allowed the opponent to keep attacking, the array would not be able to hold out for long.
Song Heguang waved his right hand.
A purple mirror slowly flew into the air.
A Middle Grade Immortal Artifact, the Aurora Mirror.
As immortal elemental Qi was injected,
the Aurora Mirror shot out a streak of purple light, heading straight toward Ouyang Tianyue.
At this moment, Ouyang Tianyue was manipulating a silver immortal sword, slashing down toward the mountain-guarding array.
Seeing the purple mirror light shooting over, he could not help but be greatly startled.
While dodging and shifting his position, he conjured a small green stick.
The green stick instantly transformed into a towering tree that propped up the heavens, blocking in front of him.
As the purple mirror light shone upon it, the towering tree transformed by the green stick rapidly melted and disintegrated.
However, taking advantage of this brief opening,
Ouyang Tianyue had already escaped the shrouding range of the purple mirror light.
Seeing this situation, he could not help but let out a gentle sigh of relief.
The power of a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact was extraordinarily formidable; if he had been struck by the purple mirror light just now,
he would have inevitably suffered heavy injuries.
In fact, not every Golden Immortal Cultivator had a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact accompanying them.
Ouyang Tianyue had broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm for over a hundred thousand years, yet he did not possess a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact.
Seeing Song Heguang use a Middle Grade Immortal Artifact for his very first strike, he could not help but feel somewhat envious.
However, his gaze quickly turned fiery again.
As long as they could take down the Dao Saint Sect, would they need to worry about lacking Middle Grade Immortal Artifacts?
...
Lian Zhengyu stood atop Dao Saint Peak, overseeing the entire battle situation.
He was in no rush to make a move.
The opponent's offensive seemed ferocious, but in reality, they had been secretly guarding against contingencies all along and had not exerted their full strength.
He was waiting for an opportunity.
Waiting for an opportunity for a fatal strike.
As the highest combat strength currently in the Dao Saint Sect,
Lian Zhengyu would not make a move unless necessary.
Once he made a move, it had to yield results.
Just as Ouyang Tianyue broke free from the purple mirror light and had only just breathed a sigh of relief,
suddenly, a silver bracelet quietly appeared above his head.
The silver bracelet emitted a faint shimmer, instantly fixing him in place, unable to move at all.
"Not good."
Discovering that he was suddenly pinned down, Ouyang Tianyue could not help but panic greatly.
He frantically drove his immortal elemental Qi, wanting to break free from the confinement of the silver bracelet.
At the same time, he shouted loudly toward Ouyang Tianchen,
"Family Head, save me quickly!"
Hearing the cry for help, Ouyang Tianchen rapidly swung a giant hammer projection, smashing it down toward the silver bracelet.
However, right at this moment,
an aura that terrified him came from inside the mountain gate of the Dao Saint Sect.
With a flash, he rapidly retreated backward.
Rumble...
Three streaks of scorching yellow light shot out directly from the mountain gate of the Dao Saint Sect.
One of the yellow light beams directly blasted onto Ouyang Tianyue's body.
Because he was confined by the silver bracelet and could not break free for the moment,
he could only watch helplessly as the yellow light blasted his physical body into pieces.
Not only that,
when Ouyang Tianyue's Nascent Soul flew out from his shattered physical body,
the surrounding violent aura instantly churned his Nascent Soul into ashes.
The other two streaks of yellow light were locked onto Ouyang Tianchen.
But he reacted quickly and soon escaped the attack range of the yellow light.
Losing their attack target, the yellow light beams blasted directly onto the empty sea surface,
instantly stirring up boundless giant waves.
Facing the sudden turn of events, the Cultivators of the Ouyang Family and Qian Family could not help but be terribly alarmed.
They scattered like birds and beasts, rapidly flying back in the direction away from the mountain gate of the Dao Saint Sect.
Hundreds of thousands of li away from Yunfei Island,
Ouyang Tianchen stopped his figure.
At this moment, his expression was gloomy enough to be somewhat frightening.
He muttered between clenched teeth,
"Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon?"
"How is that possible? Why would the Dao Saint Sect have a Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon?"
Thinking of the attack by the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon just now, he could not help but feel lingering fear.
If not for his quick reaction, he might have followed in Ouyang Tianyue's footsteps.
Yet, why would the Dao Saint Sect have Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons, and as many as three of them at that?
This made him feel extremely incredible.
The preciousness of a Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon far exceeded ordinary people's imagination.
Their Ouyang Family had gone through countless years of accumulation before managing to acquire five Low-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons.
However, in front of a Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon,
Low-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons were utter trash.
A Golden Immortal Cultivator taking a hit from a Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon would instantly turn to ashes.
Ouyang Tianyue was the best example.
He couldn't even escape with his Nascent Soul.
Why would such a super-powerful ultimate killing weapon appear in the Ji'an Sea Area?
Why would it appear in the Dao Saint Sect?
Ouyang Tianchen completely could not understand.
According to what he knew,
even for the Nangong Immortal Clan, the number of Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons was not large either.
Furthermore, these Immortal Extermination Cannons were basically deployed within the immortal cities of the Chaos Continent.
Where on earth did the Dao Saint Sect get these three Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons?
Could it be that Lu Yunfei had obtained them from the Chaos Continent back then?
Thinking of the legends surrounding Lu Yunfei, Ouyang Tianchen's heart could not help but beat nervously.
"Lu Yunfei couldn't possibly still be alive, could he?"
Thinking of this, an intention to retreat surged within Ouyang Tianchen's heart.
He was truly somewhat afraid.
As soon as the Dao Saint Sect made a move, it was three Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons, instantly obliterating Ouyang Tianyue.
How were they supposed to fight after this?
Who would dare withstand the attacks of the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannons to assault the mountain gate of the Dao Saint Sect?
Unless a Grand Unity Immortal made a move,
otherwise, whoever went would die.
He had been able to dodge in time just now, but that did not mean he would have such good luck every time.
Just as Ouyang Tianchen's heart gave birth to the intention of retreating,
Qian Mu flew over from the distance and quickly landed beside him.
The two men's gazes met, not knowing what to say for a moment.
Their original high spirits had not even lasted for half a quarter of an hour before they were shot down by the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon.
After being silent for quite a while, Qian Mu slowly asked,
"What should we do next? I hope Brother Ouyang can make a decision."
Ouyang Tianchen said silently,
"How about we just retreat?"
He truly didn't want to fight anymore.
The power of the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon was simply too terrifying.
Although the reaction speed of Golden Immortal Cultivators was extremely fast, as long as they paid attention,
generally speaking, it was not that easy to be hit by the Immortal Extermination Cannon.
But who could guarantee that they would not make any mistakes?
Once a mistake was made, it was a matter of losing one's old life.
Furthermore, the Dao Saint Sect was not a stationary target.
There were still two Golden Immortal Cultivators, Lian Zhengyu and Song Heguang, existing inside the mountain gate.
Just moments ago, Ouyang Tianyue's body had been fixed in place by Lian Zhengyu using an Immortal Artifact,
which was why he was struck into ashes by a single blow from the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon.
Since Lian Zhengyu could pin down Ouyang Tianyue, he could pin down anyone else.
Facing such a situation, who would still dare to step forward?
Going up was simply courting death.
Whoever was pinned down would just have to take the cannon fire and wait for death.
Whether it was the Middle Stage Golden Immortal or Early Stage Golden Immortal,
there was no difference whatsoever in front of the Mid-Grade Immortal Extermination Cannon.
It was a fate of dying from a single cannon shot.
If everyone dared not step forward, annihilating the Dao Saint Sect would naturally be out of the question.
This was completely a dead end.
Therefore, Ouyang Tianchen did not want to fight anymore.
The Ouyang Family had already lost one Golden Immortal, and he did not want to lose a second one.
