Chapter 375 - 187: That Person Is Even More Terrifying Than Imagined
Determined in their hearts, Ye Xiaofan and the other four frantically maneuvered the ark to flee, while Ye Xiaofan himself was searching for the best region to set up the array.
They had no choice; if this continued, the five of them would be forced into the core area of the Demon Sect’s territory by Yunmo Yue, making any attempt to escape nearly impossible.
As Ye Xiaofan’s gaze swept over the area, Mo Shiyi and Nangong Jianchen’s hearts, along with Mu Xin and Mu Yan’s, leaped to their throats.
Ever since discovering they had entered the Demon Sect’s territory, the sisters’ faces turned extremely unsightly. If they ventured deep into the Demon Dao’s core area, what awaited them would be extraordinarily terrifying suppression and slaughter.
For a moment, all four fell silent, quietly awaiting Ye Xiaofan’s decision.
The ark sliced through the Endless Mountain Range’s rivers, flew over the heads of countless demonic cultivators, until finally, at one point.
"This is the place, Brother Shiyi, Brother Nangong." Ye Xiaofan called out to them, his gaze inevitably shifting toward them.
The three exchanged a simple glance, instantly comprehending each other’s intent. Clearly, the Tier Five array "Trapped Dragon Array," even for Ye Xiaofan equipped with the array flags, required considerable time to set up. During the array formation, Mo Shiyi and the others needed to hold off Yunmo Yue’s group for a certain period.
Even if they couldn’t stop the one armed with endless killing artifacts and Mo Yue, they must at least hold back the four terrifying figures beside him to buy Ye Xiaofan time.
Mo Shiyi and Nangong Jianchen, seeing this, did not hesitate. Both nodded vigorously.
Ye Xiaofan also nodded slightly, then turned his gaze to Mu Xin and Mu Yan, saying blandly, "The ark is temporarily entrusted to them. Steer the ark away from the battlefield and wait for us outside."
Upon hearing this, Mo Shiyi also looked toward Mu Xin and Mu Yan, his brows first slightly furrowed, then relaxed as he said, "Two Little Fairies of the Divine Maiden Sect, it’s best not to play any tricks. The ark is a magical artifact of mine; it’s impossible for you two to completely control it and depart. With just a thought, I can summon the ark back."
"Moreover, without us three, your two sisters cannot escape this region. You are smart, so you should know what to do."
Mo Shiyi’s words undoubtedly reassured the sisters, warning them not to play any mischief at this time, or else the ark would be immediately reclaimed.
Although Mu Xin and Mu Yan didn’t speak upon hearing this, the sisters knew very well that Mo Shiyi was telling the truth. This is the Demon Sect’s territory, though not the core region, without Ye Xiaofan and the others present, they couldn’t possibly leave.
It’s not even an exaggeration to say that without the formidable aura of Mo Shiyi and the others to deter them, the countless Demon Sect cultivators below would have already attacked them.
After Ye Xiaofan and Mo Shiyi spoke, the three moved to the top at the rear of the ark, quietly gazing at the five pursuers chasing relentlessly.
Meanwhile, Mu Xin and Mu Yan took over the ark, their beautiful eyes filled with complex emotions. This moment was extremely complicated for the sisters. Since being captured by Ye Xiaofan, their lives had been unknowingly bound together with the five.
If these three perished, then the fate awaiting the sisters would undoubtedly be death. But due to their respective identities and stances, they both wanted them to perish yet feared their demise—a strange and complex state of mind.
Behind the ark, when Yunmo Yue and his five people saw the three figures standing on the ark, they were momentarily stunned.
Judging from their appearance, it seemed they were prepared for a fight to the death.
As Yunmo Yue and his five were momentarily perplexed.
"Now’s the time."
Ye Xiaofan spoke up abruptly, his gaze becoming exceptionally resolute.
Mo Shiyi and Nangong Jianchen understood implicitly but didn’t rush out immediately. Instead, they began to indulge in theatrics, feigning intense drama.
"Can’t stand it anymore. If this continues, what can’t be tolerated? Never have I, Mo Shiyi, a proud seven-foot man, been so embarrassed—let’s fight them." Mo Shiyi was the first to speak.
Nangong Jianchen, upon hearing this, was also inflamed with fury, veins protruding all over his body as he said, "If we continue to flee forward, we’ll reach the core of the Demon Dao territory. Since we’re going to die sooner or later, why die so pitifully? Let’s fight this wench."
Both appeared as if cornered, genuinely intent on a fight to the death.
The three spoke, stepping out from the ark and aligning in the void, staring intensely at the five pursuers breaking through the air.
Mu Xin and Mu Yan, seeing this, hurriedly steered the flying boat, frantically escaping this realm. The sisters could not withstand even a ripple of the epic battle involving the ’Peak Spiritual Essence Realm’ monstrous creatures.
Meanwhile, Yunmo Yue and the other five saw the three who abruptly jumped off the ark from afar, but all furrowed their brows slightly.
"Be cautious of the opponent’s deceit," the male cultivator beside Yunmo Yue slightly frowned, his pupils squinting instantly.
As soon as this was said, Yunmo Yue and the other three terrifying figures also showed wary expressions, revealing a hint of doubt and vigilance in their eyes.
Evidently, the opponent’s sudden decision to fight to the death was starkly contrasted with the persistent fleeing style of the past two months. No cultivator who has reached this stage is foolish; the five also came to a halt, facing off across the distance.
Seeing the five growing wary, Nangong Jianchen and Mo Shiyi inevitably furrowed their brows. Their strategy was to obscure their genuine intentions, but if their opponents maintained high vigilance, it would impede Ye Xiaofan’s secret deployment of the array.
