No one among the crowd had anticipated that Jiuyao Shenzhen would arrive alone and act with such blatant audacity, showing utter disregard for them all!
"Seeking death," Ao Fei bellowed, drawing his blade and sword, unleashing two dazzling crescent shapes!
"Swish, swish." The taut bowstrings snapped in quick succession!
"White Rainbow Pierces the Sun!" With a sharp cry, Feng Fei finally loosed the arrow from the Fengming Bow, which had long been held at full tension—an arrow of astonishing power!
A streak of white light flashed forth, like a lightning rainbow spanning heaven and earth, carrying with it piercing, shrill whistling sounds, shooting straight toward the vital spot on Jiuyao Shenzhen's chest! Accompanying this lightning rainbow, two streaks of sword energy slashed out from Ao Fei's blade and sword!
Like a soaring eagle and a swift swallow!
Slightly slower in speed but equally devastating! What was more terrifying was that these two strange sword energies seemed filled with life, possessing an extreme fluidity; even in their rapid flight, they intermittently flashed with arcs of profound, enchanting light, making it utterly impossible to predict their direction, let alone defend against them!
This was precisely the supreme technique from Ao Fei's Eagle-Swallow Duet—the Eagle-Swallow Double Flight! The elusive dual energies of the Eagle and Swallow swords and blades nearly covered every escape route available to Jiuyao Shenzhen!
And Yue Che's great spear also whipped up a massive blade energy! Resembling a surging dragon cutting through waves, it was the Azure Dragon Breaks the Waves from the Cold Ice Spear Technique!
This bizarre, dragon-shaped blade energy skimmed the ground, tailing the Eagle-Swallow Double Flight, shooting out rapidly, but its target was Jiuyao Shenzhen's mount, the Mammoth King!
The three masters, in their opening move, deployed their signature ultimate techniques! What was more terrifying was that these three supreme skills were executed almost simultaneously, dividing the attack into three distinct waves!
They could adjust the angle and trajectory of their assault instantly based on Jiuyao Shenzhen's reaction! It was perilous in the extreme!
"Zheng!" With a clang! Jiuyao Shenzhen's Dragon Shadow Spear suddenly coiled and flipped! Before the onlookers' eyes flashed a massive screen of light, like a waterfall! Then came a resounding crash, like the surging, turbulent torrents of a great river!
In an instant, the howling Dragon Roar Arrow was shattered into pieces!
Ah!
Almost simultaneously!
That ferocious beast, with a wild roar, suddenly flickered its massive body! The closely following Eagle-Swallow Reversal sword energies, along with the blade energy dragon unleashed by Yue Che, all missed their mark in that instant!
Swish, swish!
The beast’s snow-white form materialized before everyone as if it were a phantom! Accompanied by it were the nine-colored Dragon Shadows that pierced the sun and moon, erratic and elusive!
The beast's astonishing speed utterly surpassed the crowd's wildest expectations!
What was even more terrifying was that everyone present felt these immensely powerful Dragon Shadows were rushing toward them!
Ah! Even Ao Fei and the others, who had anticipated trouble, were greatly startled!
"So fast!" Ao Fei’s left hand snapped his blade back in an instant sweep!
The flowing, iridescent blade light carved out a graceful crescent arc, held before his chest!
Yue Che’s expression changed dramatically! He leaned back, retreating rapidly while spinning his great spear like a windmill, striking frantically!
Boom! Rumbled!
A series of deafening impacts followed. A terrifying force transmitted through Ao Fei's hand nearly knocked the Eagle Blade from his grip! And the horrifying surge of fighting aura felt as if it was tearing Ao Fei's entire body apart!
The potency of the Dragon Shadow lay not just in its incomparable speed but also in its crushing impact force!
Even more deadly was the explosive shockwave generated at the moment of impact!
However, Ao Fei and the others had already learned the nature of the Dragon Shadow from Yue Che; thus, at the moment of impact, they immediately channeled their protective fighting aura, sparing them from being blown apart by the explosion’s shockwave!
Yet, even so, they had suffered greatly!
On the other side, Yue Che’s great spear, amidst a thunderous crash, also blocked the attacking Dragon Shadows!
But the terrifying explosion blasted a shocking, massive crater into the ground!
Almost at the same instant!
Whether it was Ao Fei, Yue Che, Feng Fei, or Moluo Yinfeng and the others, they were all sent reeling, their blood churning violently almost to the point of spitting blood, by the sudden Dragon Shadow explosions!
But before they could press their advantage to counterattack! The Mammoth King, with its snow-white body, darted past like a meteor, charging toward the rear of the crowd!
That was where the twenty thousand elite warriors stood in strict formation!
"Ah! Not good!" Moluo Yinfeng’s face turned pale with alarm!
Almost simultaneously!
A string of shrieks erupted in succession! In the blink of an eye, the iron square formation of twenty thousand elite warriors was swept away and smashed aside like leaves caught in a gale!
Screams rose incessantly, flesh and blood flying everywhere! The entire iron formation instantly transformed into a hellscape of agony!
It was Jiuyao Shenzhen, utilizing the Mammoth King’s impossibly swift speed and terrifying impact force, who broke through the defensive line formed by Ao Fei and the other masters, striking down the tribesmen warriors whose skill levels were comparatively lower!
It must be admitted that these twenty thousand tribal warriors were indeed formidable fighters, but they were still vastly inferior to true, top-tier masters!
Many didn't even get a chance to strike before they were sent flying by the tank-like impact force of the Mammoth King!
And the nine Dragon Shadows that had been blocked and deflected by the others also plunged into the dense iron square formation like a swarm of locusts, charging and weaving through them!
Their lethality was even more terrifying than the Mammoth King's charge!
For a moment, all anyone could see were countless flashes like lightning arcs, flying up and down, charging left and right! The resulting blood mist soared high!
The scene before them left everyone dumbstruck!
No one could have imagined that Jiuyao Shenzhen would choose these people to slaughter first!
And the war chariots equipped with heavy steel great crossbows were utterly pulverized by Jiuyao Shenzhen’s Dragon Shadows; not a single complete one remained in sight!
It was clear that Jiuyao Shenzhen had also recognized the intention of Ao Fei and the others to use the heavy steel crossbow chariots against him, and he had preemptively destroyed them!
"Damn it!" Ao Fei was so enraged he nearly coughed up blood: "Stop immediately! Fight us if you have the guts!"
"Scoundrel!" Feng Fei roared even louder, instantly unleashing two arrows aimed directly at the Mammoth King beneath Jiuyao Shenzhen's rear!
Everyone understood: to stop Jiuyao Shenzhen, they first had to eliminate his mount!
The two rainbows flew toward their target instantly!
The Mammoth King, savoring the slaughter, its momentum soaring wildly, showed no hesitation against these two arrows! Its monstrous maw suddenly opened, releasing an earth-shattering roar!
A massive sound wave sphere, like a cannonball, slammed into the immensely powerful pair of arrows!
Bang, rumbling!
A muffled explosion burst forth like sudden thunder!
While the Mammoth King's sound wave sphere was unrivaled in the world!
Feng Fei, recognized as the continent's second-ranked master, was not easily dealt with!
Furthermore, the Fengming Bow's Dragon Roar Arrow was renowned as the continent's strongest offensive super-artifact!
Moreover, this time, Feng Fei had released two arrows in quick succession, embedding all of his fighting energy along with the potent, strange energy within the Fengming Bow!
The sound wave sphere roared out by the Mammoth King instantly detonated upon impact, yet the two arrows that pierced sun and moon showed no abatement, continuing their charge toward the Mammoth King!
"Hmph." With a cold snort!
Jiuyao Shenzhen, mounted on the Mammoth King, finally made his move!
The Dragon Shadow Spear gave a light, subtle flick! It struck like a sharp bolt of lightning against the charging pair of arrows!
Boom! Rumbled!
Another muffled explosion resounded!
The two immensely powerful arrows were struck head-on by Jiuyao Shenzhen's Dragon Shadow Spear and sent flying far away!
However, the terrifying explosive impact force was entirely absorbed by the Mammoth King!
It was forced back several steps against its will!
Its meteor-like, lightning-fast posture suffered a brief, momentary halt!
"Die for me!" The warriors inside the iron square formation, having recovered their senses, all struck out simultaneously.
Blades and swords flew out like a fierce storm!
"Hold him," and Moluo Yinfeng lunged forward!
Once the Mammoth King engaged its astonishing speed, locking onto Jiuyao Shenzhen again would become virtually impossible!
So the best strategy was to entangle him right now!
This time, facing Jiuyao Shenzhen, no one intended to engage in mounted combat or face him directly!
After all, even Yue Che, recognized as the continent's strongest mounted combat expert, had been utterly defeated by Jiuyao Shenzhen!
Subsequently, even his mount, the Wolf King, was blasted into fragments by Jiuyao Shenzhen's Dragon Shadow!
This showed just how terrifying the lethality of the Dragon Shadow was in mounted combat!
Even a powerful snowy domain exotic beast like the Ice Wolf King could not evade the Dragon Shadow's attack; attempting to counter it with any other mount would be courting death!
Therefore, in this confrontation with Jiuyao Shenzhen, everyone was forced to adopt an exclusively foot-combat approach!
It must be acknowledged that Ao Fei and the others were all top-tier masters; in terms of speed, they were not inferior to the Mammoth King.
However, humans and beasts were ultimately different; in terms of stamina and burst power, they were far inferior to the Mammoth King! Moreover, the Mammoth King possessed not only unparalleled speed but also a terrifying impact force and an even more dreadful sound wave sphere! Its offensive power far surpassed that of a Saint Domain Zenith master!
Not to mention, seated upon its back was the ridiculously powerful Jiuyao Shenzhen—this combination of man and beast was absolutely the most perfect pairing!
