Returning to Begin the Slaughter
Meng Chang was very thoughtful; he had the operating instructions engraved into Jade Slip and placed it in the operating room.
Therefore, Li Yunjing arranged for several people to enter the control room to learn how to operate the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat through that Jade Slip.
While those people were studying, Li Yunjing simultaneously began to coordinate.
The first task was to arrange the personnel for this trip to Black Wind Cliff.
Based on his previous experience, Li Yunjing decided not to bring so many people this time.
Moreover, the Extreme Crossing Boat has been upgraded to the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat, which greatly enhances its strength, so there is no need to bring many people.
Li Yunjing included all Nascent Soul of the Luozhen Sect in the team attacking Black Wind Cliff.
Those who had reached the Golden Core Qi Refining were left at the Luozhen Sect by Li Yunjing.
The main issue is that it wouldn't be of much use to people at these three cultivation levels.
Last time, Li Yunjing witnessed the densely packed dens of Demon Beast in Black Wind Cliff.
There are many Demon Beast in the three stages of Awakened Intelligence to Demon Core. If the cultivators of the Luozhen Sect went there, they would be easy prey, overwhelmed by the sea of Demon Beast, without even a chance to fight back.
After everything was arranged, it was almost time.
Li Yunjing boarded a Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat.
As the energy core was placed into the groove, the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat was immediately activated.
The Spiritual Qi wings on both sides of the ship unfolded instantly, and with a single flap, the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat transformed into a streak of light and disappeared into the sky.
On the airship, Li Yunjing stood at the edge of the deck, watching the ground rush past.
"This time, we must take Black Wind Cliff," Li Yunjing thought to himself.
At this moment, Li Yunjing suddenly thought of the true spirit of the Northern Dark Earth Vein.
The reason Li Yunjing and his group were able to escape last time was because of the help of the true spirit of the Northern Dark Earth Vein, which successfully broke the barrier that trapped them.
If we go to Black Wind Cliff again this time, that barrier will inevitably reappear.
Li Yunjing knew how powerful that barrier was; even Fang Hexuan had suffered a great loss from it.
If we still can't solve that problem this time, I'm afraid the outcome will be the same as last time.
However, after leaving Black Wind Cliff and returning to the Luozhen Sect last time, the true spirit of the Northern Dark Earth Vein appeared and talked with Li Yunjing for a while.
The Earth Vein Spirit told Li Yunjing that it could affect the barrier, but only for a limited time.
Li Yunjing wanted to know how long it would last, so he took out the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal.
As soon as the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal appeared, the Northern Dark True Spirit also appeared in front of Li Yunjing.
"Are we going to Black Wind Cliff again?"
Looking at the surrounding environment, Northern Dark True Spirit knew what Li Yunjing was about to do.
Li Yunjing nodded. "How long can you keep that barrier closed last time?"
Northern Dark True Spirit pondered for a moment, then said, "Three breaths."
Upon hearing this answer, Li Yunjing immediately frowned.
Three breaths is far too short.
Northern Dark True Spirit explained, "There's nothing I can do. The ley lines at Black Wind Cliff are too polluted. It's already quite good that I can only affect it for three breaths."
Of course, don't underestimate these three breaths. As long as you find the core of the barrier and destroy it within those three breaths, the entire barrier will become ineffective.
"Can you find the core of the barrier?" Li Yunjing asked curiously.
Northern Dark True Spirit shook his head. "No, the core of that barrier must be hidden deep within the earth's veins; it won't be easy to find."
"Then tell me about chicken feathers!" Li Yunjing laughed in exasperation.
"I just want to tell you that these three breaths may seem short, but they are actually very long—enough to destroy the core."
"Of course, that's on the premise that you can find the core," said the Northern Dark True Spirit.
Li Yunjing shook his head, feeling helpless.
Even the Northern Dark True Spirit couldn't find the core of the barrier; it's probably not wishful thinking for anyone else to find it.
After retrieving the Northern Dark Vein-Suppressing Seal, Li Yunjing fell into deep thought.
It doesn't matter if we can't find the core, as long as we can shut down the barrier.
Three breaths was indeed a very long time, just as the Northern Dark True Spirit had said.
As long as there was no barrier, Li Yunjing planned to blow up the entire Black Wind Cliff.
He refused to believe it; with Black Wind Cliff gone, what kind of trouble could that barrier possibly cause?
As for blowing up Black Wind Cliff, Li Yunjing was confident in that.
The upgraded Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat is no pushover; it could easily destroy Black Wind Cliff.
Not long after, Black Wind Cliff came into view.
Li Yunjing immediately ordered the cultivators on both Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat to prepare for battle.
As the two spaceships drew closer, Black Wind Cliff once again experienced the same situation as before.
Thousands upon thousands of Demon Beast burst forth from their lair.
In an instant, Yao Qi surged into the sky, converging together and causing the world to lose its color, darkening in an instant.
The leader of this group of Demon Beast was the same bear that had reached the Spirit Concentration Realm Perfection last time.
Li Yunjing's gaze sharpened, and he issued the command:
"Activate the Thousand-Li Spirit Eye Array, triple-locking all Nascent Soul Realm Demon Beast and marking their weaknesses!"
With his command, the blue light emanating from the two flying boats suddenly surged threefold, and more than a dozen solid, pale blue beams of light instantly pierced through the chaotic beast tide, accurately striking the vital points such as the brows and hearts of the charging Nascent Soul Demon Beast Nascent Soul. The beams of light clung to them like maggots, and no matter how the Demon Beast tried to dodge or evade, they could not escape.
This is one of the major changes between the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat and the Extreme Crossing Boat.
Although the Extreme Crossing Boat also has reconnaissance formations that allow the cultivators on board to understand the external situation and even carry out precision strikes.
However, it cannot achieve the same level of refinement as the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat.
The precision strikes of the Extreme Crossing Boat are more targeted at a general area.
For example, Black Wind Cliff, or a certain location within Black Wind Cliff.
It's completely impossible to achieve what the Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat did, locking onto Demon Beast's vital points such as its brow and heart.
Inside the flying boat, the cultivators controlling the formation were rapidly inscribing Method Formula on the array plate with their fingers flying. Instantly, the spiritual energy fluctuation diagrams and weakness markings of each Nascent Soul Demon Beast appeared on the water mirror.
"Spirit-Breaking Cannon, charge for three breaths, fire volley!"
Buzz--
Two deep humming sounds rang out simultaneously, and the crane's beak slowly opened, revealing the pitch-black muzzle inside.
Terrifying white Spiritual Qi gathered wildly at the cannon's muzzle, forming a dazzling sphere of light. The surrounding air was compressed, crackling and popping, and even the light was distorted.
Three breaths passed in the blink of an eye, Li Yunjing suddenly swung his arm down.
Boom! Boom!
Two deafening explosions rang out simultaneously, and the world seemed to stand still for a moment.
Two beams of white light, condensed to their utmost, shot out from the crane's beak, crashing into the beast tide like two world-destroying thunderbolts.
Wherever the beam of light passed, whether it was the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros with its copper skin and iron bones, impervious to swords and spears, or the Shadow Leopard with its lightning speed and elusive form, they were all instantly reduced to ashes, leaving not even a trace of flesh or bone behind.
The two Nascent Soul Realm black bear demons at the front were waving their giant paws in an attempt to block the attack, but before they could even let out a scream, their thick black fur and Indestructible protective aura were torn apart by the beam of light as if they were made of paper, and their massive bodies were completely annihilated in the blinding white light.
With just two shots, two bloody paths, several meters wide, were torn open in the originally impenetrable beast tide, running through the entire horde. Limbs and scalding blood of the Demon Beast rained down like a storm, accumulating into a thin layer of blood on the ground.
"The left-wing boat will circle around to the rear, while the main boat will charge head-on at full speed and ram!"
Before Li Yunjing could finish speaking, the two Mystic Crane Flying Cloud Boat swooped down like arrows released from a bow.
