Lu Xiaotian did not act too early upon hearing this. Whether it was warfare among worldly mortals or wars in the cultivation world, they had always been cold and merciless. He was merely a Nascent Soul Cultivator—how could he stop every tragedy from occurring?
As Wen Changyun's voice faded, the swarms of flying kites and flying warships split to either side, revealing an enormous vessel in the middle—the only Hong-level flying warship on the Azure Continent at that time. The huge spirit cannon muzzles aimed at the two Thunder Crows in the sky, and waves of devastating beams came crashing down from all directions, blanketing them.
"Mantis Fiend, the human race has a Hong-level flying warship! Why didn't you tell us beforehand?" The two Thunder Crows, both at the True Intent level, had been caught off guard and cried out in pain as they hurriedly retreated from the place where they had just been fighting. They roared furiously at the Golden-Eyed Mantis Fiend.
Damn it—the spirit crystals the human race had taken two years ago! No wonder they had paid such a huge price to seize the spirit crystals in that secret realm! The Golden-Eyed Mantis and Ghost King Hu You exchanged a glance and suddenly realized the truth. The humans on the other side really were cunning.
The two Thunder Crows had suffered a sudden loss while completely unprepared, and now they blamed him for it. Naturally, the Golden-Eyed Mantis Fiend refused to let them turn their firepower on him. He hurriedly said, "It was an accident. Who could have known that the humans on the other side had arranged this move as well? Fortunately, Brother Wu and the other one withdrew in time. The Azure Continent is a barren place, so they surely don't have many spirit crystals.
