The Baibao Warship's true combat strength was hard to judge, but its display was truly terrifying.
Soul Severing Divine Monarch could not gauge the Baibao Warship's true capabilities and did not dare act rashly.
Baibao Divine Monarch, however, had no patience for him and struck first.
A massive Dragon Hunting Crossbow at the warship's prow conjured a crossbow bolt over two zhang long out of thin air.
Then, a vast amount of spiritual power poured into the crossbow, automatically drawing back its string.
The string twanged softly, and the crossbow bolt shot out, heading straight for Soul Severing Divine Monarch.
The bolt was incredibly fast, and unlike ordinary crossbow bolts, it did not simply travel in a straight line.
Instead, it resembled a cultivator's technique, continuously changing direction as it pursued its target.
Though Soul Severing Divine Monarch was not weak, his primary methods were aimed at dealing with souls.
Now that he faced a warship of unknown origins, he did not dare take its attack head-on.
He hid behind the five Sword Puppets and relied on the power of the Five Elements Sword Array to receive the arrow.
At the same time, he wanted to see just what the Baibao Warship was made of.
The five Sword Puppets stood ready, and the longswords in their hands flew out simultaneously.
The five swords flashed with five-colored spiritual light before ultimately merging into one, becoming a massive sword like white jade.
The crossbow bolt fired by the Baibao Warship struck precisely against the blade's edge.
Crack!
A faint sound rang out as the bolt was split vertically into two halves.
A light breeze swept past, and continuous cracking sounds came from below.
Under that breeze, patch after patch of forest turned into wood chips.
Many rocks were sliced into stone slabs
