They Came at Just the Right Time. Could It Also Be Because of Modest Fortune?
"Xiao Ye, be careful!"
An elder gasped softly, his expression tense.
This young man exudes immense pressure; he's likely a very difficult opponent to deal with.
Although Xiao Ye had been away cultivating for a while, it wasn't for very long.
Now that they've suddenly launched an attack, I'm afraid it's because...
Just as some elders were preparing to intervene and temporarily hold off the attack...
Xiao Ye had already moved.
With a simple gesture, the scroll appeared between his hands.
This scene, witnessed by everyone in the flying boat above, made their smiles even wider.
"Others fight with weapons, but this kid fights with books, it's really... ridiculous!"
At the same time, Wang Bochen was already close by.
Boom!
All around his body, spiritual energy suddenly transformed into dense water spiritual energy, surging forth.
In an instant, centered on it, its power surged like a raging wave in a vast ocean, sweeping across the area as if to destroy everything.
"Die!"
Wang Bochen sneered and raised his hand to strike Xiao Ye.
Boom!
A colossal wave surged forth, coalescing from the surrounding waves and transforming into a gigantic arm of water, which lashed out with an aura of annihilation.
Xiao Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and his hand brushed across the book.
Swish, swish, swish.
The pages of the book fluttered and rolled out like leaves in a whirlwind.
Xiao Ye moved his hands in quick succession, leaving only a blur in an instant.
Boom boom boom!
Within his body, lightning spiritual power surged and poured into the pages of the book, instantly transforming into powerful bolts of lightning.
Just as the sun was setting and darkness was falling, a dazzling burst of lightning suddenly erupted, illuminating the area.
The smiles on the faces of the crowd who had been watching the spectacle from the airship froze.
The casting speed, and the power of these spells...
Boom boom boom!
Before anyone could think further, a burst of lightning collided with the giant hand formed from water elemental energy.
The moment they made contact, the giant hand burst apart.
The bolts of lightning didn't stop there; instead, following the water elemental energy, they hurtled straight towards Wang Bochen at an astonishing speed.
Lightning flashed, engulfing it in an instant.
"No!!!"
A mournful sound could be faintly heard amidst the booming thunder, but after a moment, the screams completely disappeared.
As the lightning dissipated, Wang Bochen, who had been full of vigor and arrogance just moments before, was now devoid of life, with only parts of his skeleton remaining.
Apart from the thunder, all around suddenly became completely silent.
This scene left all the elders of the Xiao Clan dumbfounded, their faces filled with shock and disbelief.
"How could Xiao Ye be so strong?" A member of the Xiao Clan swallowed hard.
"Less than half a year ago, he had only just entered the realm of cultivation and hadn't reached a very high level, right?"
"Xiao Ye showed some strength during the incident with the Third Elder, but we didn't expect his true strength to have already surpassed that of us old folks. It's been incredibly fast," another elder exclaimed in amazement.
Another elder, a thoughtful expression on his face, said, "I think he once said that his rapid improvement was largely due to his master. Now that I see it, his master must also be a divine being. It's just a pity that I've never had the chance to meet him and witness his divine presence."
Originally, for the Xiao Clan family members, Wang Bochen's move was something they could hardly withstand.
Now, in the blink of an eye, Xiao Ye had defeated him.
It was undeniably stunning.
The commotion from this exchange was also detected by Lu Changzhi through his divine sense.
Compared to the Xiao Clan family, Lu Changzhi's reaction was much milder.
Not to mention that this person didn't have much of an advantage in terms of cultivation level, coupled with underestimating his opponent and using water elemental power against lightning elemental power.
This outcome is not surprising.
"Only..."
Lu Changzhi's face showed a hint of doubt:
"What perfect timing! Is this also due to Modest Fortune?"
Immediately, he put the Purple-Gold Guest Token aside, called out to Xiao Ming, and urged them to hurry over.
He noticed that besides himself, another group of people were approaching the vicinity of the Xiao Clan's residence.
This is in conjunction with the flying boat that is already in the Xiao Clan's possession.
This seems somewhat familiar; perhaps it's a situation where the younger one can't win, so the older one steps in.
Everyone was shocked, but the strongest reaction came from those on the airship.
"Brother Wang!"
"Damn it, what's going on?!"
The expressions on everyone's faces changed to varying degrees.
They had clearly not taken these people seriously before.
Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, their companions lost their lives.
The contrast was so stark that it was hard for them to accept at first.
At this moment, a young man spoke up angrily:
"Damn it, this brat dared to kill the prince's brother! Gentlemen, kill this brat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the others snapped out of their daze and responded.
Boom boom boom!
Instantly, a surge of energy appeared, and the group drew their weapons, preparing to step out of the flying boat.
Shocked as they were, and furious as they were, the killing of Wang Bochen was certainly a shock, but it was also an act of defiance.
As beings from outer space, Descent such a backward place, how could I allow myself to be bullied by the people of this land?!
Swish, swish, swish.
Just as they were about to make a move.
Suddenly, array formations rose up around the Xiao Clan.
It wasn't just one layer, but multiple layers, spreading rapidly and intricately, its aura extraordinary.
Let's go.
On the flying boat, someone spoke:
"This guy looks like a tough nut to crack!"
As they spoke, the airship was infused with power, as if it were about to be propelled into action.
"Go to hell! What are you cowardly for? He dared to kill the King's brother, if we don't kill him, he'll dare to kill us!" one of them shouted angrily.
As the two sides argued, the array formations had already taken full shape.
The array was divided into two main layers. The largest layer enveloped everyone, while the second layer separated the people in the flying boat from the Xiao Clan family.
"Let's see if you can protect her!"
Seeing this, someone snorted coldly and decisively attacked the formation below.
Boom boom boom!
Several attacks landed, causing shockwaves across the formation.
The formation was not damaged by this; the light only flickered for a few moments before returning to normal.
The expressions on their faces changed again.
"Damn, this guy's probably tough."
The group exchanged glances, and seeing Xiao Ye's calm expression, they immediately understood the situation.
This is not a good place to act arrogantly and domineeringly!
"Walk!"
The group acted decisively, immediately heading back to the flying boat while unleashing a barrage of attacks on the outermost layer of the formation.
However, the outer layer of the formation remained as stable as a mountain.
"Kid, wait for us, we'll be back!"
Led by Fei Zhou, one of the men wore a pained expression and left a vicious remark.
The next moment, a gray talisman was taken out and slapped onto the flying boat.
Buzz.
Instantly, the flying boat was enveloped by a unique power, emanating a distinctive energy fluctuation.
Then, to the astonishment of the Xiao Clan family, the flying boat actually passed through the array's obstruction and headed outwards.
Within the formation, Xiao Ye's gaze narrowed slightly as he watched the departing flying boat.
The flying boat broke free of the formation and had no intention of stopping; it was about to depart into the distance.
Just then, in a place above, where there was nothing at all, a ripple-like ripple suddenly appeared.
A massive, luxurious airship was presented in a truly awe-inspiring manner.
A force emanated from the airship, flashed as light, and landed on the fleeing airship.
Boom!
The next moment, the airship exploded.
The fragments of the flying boat mingled with the blood mist, instantly blooming like crimson fireworks.
