Chapter 291 Disdain for a dilapidated ship? A counterattack with 5 dragons to pull a warship!
At the foot of Daozi Peak, a cold wind swirled a few withered yellow leaves across the bluestone square.
The atmosphere was somewhat awkward, or even shabby.
Thousands of disciples stood in neat rows, their eyes fixed eagerly ahead, waiting for the legendary "Sect Warship" that would lead them to conquer all directions and rebuild their glory to make its appearance.
"cough."
Li Xiaoyao stood at the very front of the group, his old face flushing slightly, a rare occurrence for him. He rubbed his hands together somewhat awkwardly, then waved his sleeve.
"Come forth, Azure Cloud Boat!"
hum-
A sickening grinding sound rang out, as if some long-neglected antique was struggling to turn itself over.
A flying boat, about fifty meters long, with a mottled hull and even patches of different colored planks nailed to its sides, drifted leisurely out of the clouds.
It flew very slowly, accompanied by a "creaking" noise, like an old man with asthma jogging.
On the bow of the boat, there was even a red lantern hanging precariously, with half of the character "登" (dēng) in "登仙" (dēngxiān, meaning "ascending to immortality") missing, turning it into "豆仙" (dòuxiān, meaning "bean fairy").
The entire room fell silent.
The light in the disciples' eyes went out with a snap.
This is the vehicle they will use to challenge the two holy lands and suppress the contemporary prodigies.
It's like someone else is going to war in an aircraft carrier, and you're going to join the fun on a beat-up old bicycle that rattles everywhere except for the bell.
Forget about slapping them in the face, they've already lost face before they even left the house.
"This...this is our ship?"
Luo Tianfei changed into a clean purple dress and stood behind Lu Sheng, looking at the wrecked ship, her lips twitching wildly.
She felt that her divine phoenix bloodline had been insulted.
"There's nothing I can do, resources are scarce." Li Xiaoyao chuckled twice, trying to save face. "Don't look at it as broken as it is. This was used by the ancient emperor... well, by the fire-tending boy under the ancient emperor. The core magic array is still good, and it's very stable when flying."
稳？
A gust of wind blew by, the flying boat rocked three times, and a piece of rotten wood fell off.
Li Xiaoyao: "..."
Lu Sheng stood with his hands in his pockets, staring blankly at the pile of scrap metal.
"Old man."
Lu Sheng turned his head, his dark eyes devoid of emotion, only showing the look one might give someone mentally challenged.
"You want us to ride this thing to Kunlun?"
"If it falls apart halfway there, do we swim or fly?"
"That's not important!" Li Xiaoyao argued stubbornly. "What's important is the people! As long as we're strong enough, even if we go in a wrecked ship, we'll still return as kings!"
Forget it.
Lu Sheng chuckled, took a long stride, and appeared directly at the bow of the wrecked ship.
thump.
With just a gentle descent, the entire airship suddenly sank downwards, letting out a mournful cry of unbearable strain.
"This kind of trash doesn't deserve my respect."
Lu Sheng stood at the dilapidated bow of the ship, facing the biting mountain wind, and slowly raised his right hand.
"Since we don't have a good ship, then... let's modify it."
The great dragon on his spine suddenly shone with five-colored divine light.
"Everyone out here, time to get to work!"
hold head high------!!!!!
Five earth-shattering dragon roars exploded at the same time, instantly drowning out the sound of the wind in the entire arena.
The void is torn apart.
Under the horrified gazes of thousands of disciples, five colossal beasts, each a hundred meters long, rose into the sky from behind Lu Sheng, carrying an overwhelming pressure that could destroy the heavens and the earth.
The white dragon, Venus, with its sharp edge, cleaved through the clouds!
The Azure Dragon of Jianmu Tree, its vitality spurs the growth of vines!
The Weak Water Black Dragon corrodes all things, leaving them lifeless!
Crimson Lotus Fire Dragon, burning and distorting the void!
The earth dragon, imbued with the weight of the earth, suppresses its immense power!
The five true dragons circled in the air once, and then, under Lu Sheng's control, they suddenly swooped down, not to attack, but to bite at the five directions of the flying boat.
Click!Click!
The golden dragon transformed into a ram, sharp and unparalleled; the earth dragon enveloped the hull, making it indestructible; the wooden dragon coiled around the hull, repairing and reinforcing it; the fire dragon coiled at the stern, transforming into a propulsion nozzle; and the water dragon circled the surroundings, forming an absolute defense.
Just three breaths.
That dilapidated wooden boat, which was on the verge of falling apart at any moment, has completely disappeared.
In its place is a mythical war chariot, two hundred meters long, with five-colored divine light flowing throughout, and powered by five living dragons!
The visual impact was so strong that it was as if a scrapped tricycle had been transformed into a spaceship.
"Holy crap..."
Elder Xingtian opened his mouth wide, and the swear word that came out represented the sentiments of everyone present.
This works?!
"Get on the ship."
Lu Sheng stood atop the menacing golden dragon head, at the ramming point of the ship, looking down at the stunned crowd below.
He grinned, revealing a set of gleaming white teeth; his smile was wild and domineering.
"This is the...coolest warship leading to Kunlun."
"Whoever doesn't step up will just be left hanging around eating dust."
……
boom!!
A terrifying sonic boom cloud exploded over the sea.
The five-colored warships tore through the sky, moving so fast that their afterimages were not even visible, leaving only a white wave a kilometer wide on the sea.
Above the clouds, a fierce wind howled.
But the interior of this warship was so stable that not even a cup of tea would spill.
On the deck, which was actually the broad back of the earth dragon, Li Xiaoyao sat on a stone bench, holding a few plucked whiskers in his hand, looking at the rapidly receding scenery around him, his eyes filled with extreme complexity.
"So extravagant... such a waste of money..."
Li Xiaoyao felt a pang of heartache, yet couldn't help feeling smug. "Using five dragons of rules to pull a ship—this kind of spectacle... even the ancient emperors back then probably only had this much power!"
"Stop talking nonsense."
Lu Sheng sat cross-legged at the bow of the boat, eyes closed in rest. "Old man, now that we're out here, shouldn't we say something?"
"What other underhanded tricks do those bastards from Kunlun have besides that so-called half-step Spirit King Daoist disciple?"
When serious matters were mentioned, Li Xiaoyao's expression instantly became solemn.
He glanced around to make sure the soundproof barrier was activated before lowering his voice and saying, "I'm not worried about you fighting. Even if you can't win, you can definitely run away."
"What I'm worried about is... a medical examination."
"A physical examination?" Lu Sheng raised an eyebrow.
"There is a mirror in Kunlun," Li Xiaoyao said in a deep voice, "called the 'Haotian Demon-Revealing Mirror.' It is an ancient artifact, hanging above the Kunlun Heavenly Gate."
"Everyone who enters the Kunlun Holy Land must undergo the illumination of the mirror."
"It can expose all pretense, and it can also expose... heresy."
At this point, Li Xiaoyao stared intently at Lu Sheng, his tone filled with deep worry: "Boy, your Dharma form... and that thing you swallowed at the end... that's the taste of the abyss."
"If the Demon-Revealing Mirror judges us as 'Demons of the Abyss,' then it's not just a matter of winning or losing the competition."
"That makes them an enemy of the whole world."
"At that time, even if Xing Tian and I, these two old bones, fight to the death, we may not be able to bring you out alive."
The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.
The abyss is the common enemy of all mankind.
Even if Lu Sheng is human, as long as he is tainted by that aura, in the eyes of those holy lands that claim to be righteous, he is a stain that must be purified.
Luo Tianfei, who was standing next to him, also looked at Lu Sheng nervously.
She had seen the abyssal hand with her own eyes.
The sheer evil aura emanating from that place still sends chills down her spine when she thinks about it now.
however.
Lu Sheng simply opened his eyes slowly.
There was no panic in those eyes; instead, a hint of eager, violent rage flashed within them.
"Mirror?"
Lu Sheng chuckled, took out a spirit fruit from his pocket, and took a bite.
"If it's the kind of broken mirror that only reflects other people's shortcomings..."
"Just break it, won't that solve the problem?"
Li Xiaoyao: "..."
Luo Tianfei: "..."
We can't talk today.
Does this guy not even have the word "retreat" in his brain?
Just then.
Om-! !
The five-colored warship, which was flying at high speed, suddenly stopped without warning.
The once clear blue sky suddenly turned gloomy.
It's not a dark cloud.
It is blood and qi.
A strong, nauseating stench of blood, mixed with the putrid smell of the sea, assaulted my senses.
Lu Sheng stopped chewing.
He slowly stood up, walked to the side of the ship, and looked down.
Below, the sea had turned a shocking dark red color.
Amidst the rolling waves, countless pale, swollen corpses floated densely on the sea surface, rising and falling with the waves, resembling distorted human faces staring intently at the warships in the sky.
And in the middle of that sea of corpses.
A throne made of countless bones is slowly rising with the waves.
"Hehehe..."
A sinister laugh, like two rusty pieces of iron rubbing together, pierced through the sea breeze and clearly entered everyone's ears.
"The old dog from Ascension Island..."
"Two hundred years..."
"The debt from that sword strike back then... shouldn't it be repaid today, with interest?"
boom!
The words fell.
The sea of blood below suddenly exploded.
Nine thousand-meter-long blood pythons, formed from fresh blood and exuding a suffocating aura, opened their blood-red maws and viciously bit at the five-colored warship in the air!
On the ship, the disciples who were traveling far from home for the first time turned pale instantly and screamed in terror.
"It's the Blood Sea Ancestor!!"
Li Xiaoyao's expression changed drastically, and the folding fan in his hand instantly transformed into a long, gleaming sword. "Damn it! How is this old devil still alive?! Is he lying in ambush on our only path?!"
Just as Li Xiaoyao was preparing to risk his life.
A hand gently pressed down on his shoulder.
"What's the rush?"
Standing at the bow of the ship, Lu Sheng looked down at the nine blood pythons rushing towards him, but instead of being afraid, he felt...
I stretched comfortably.
His joints crackled and popped, like a sleeping beast awakening.
