Chapter 1340 The Mermaid: Her Beauty Shine Like the Tide (76)
Li Guang observed silently. It was a group of well-prepared demonic cultivators who were even very familiar with the defensive capabilities of the Wanbao Trading Company's flying boat. They used nearly ten high-level explosive talismans in a row, causing the cabin to shake violently.
The dozen or so guards of Wanbao Trading Company have already gone out to fight the demonic cultivators. The lowest level of them is the eighth level of Foundation Establishment, and the highest level is a guardian elder who is in the early stage of Nascent Soul.
Judging from the situation, Wanbao Trading Company is at a disadvantage.
She hurried back to the cabin and gave the children some more instructions, mainly because she was worried that the two siblings were going through their rebellious phase and that if their defenses broke down, they would rush out with all their might and be eager to become cannon fodder, which was not like her at all.
The two junior Qi Refining cultivators should stay in the room; it's not their turn to go on stage yet.
After saying that, she hurriedly left, but by then the great formation had already been broken.
"Listen up, everyone on the ship! Hand over your storage bags, and I'll spare your lives!" The leading demonic cultivator sneered, slashing out with his long sword. Black demonic flames instantly engulfed half the deck, and many guards and passengers were hit by the flames, screaming as they were sent flying backward.
A golden light shone on the deck of the flying boat, and an old man in a gray robe stood on it. He was the Nascent Soul stage guardian elder sent by the merchant guild. He held a golden spirit ruler in his hand, the ruler engraved with demon-suppressing runes. He raised his hand and unleashed a golden light that collided with the demonic flames of the demonic cultivator.
"boom!"
The two forces collided, and the shockwave overturned everyone on the deck.
Li Guang managed to stay unharmed thanks to the defensive barrier, but the demonic cultivators had already boarded the flying boat and begun fighting. She also stayed outside the house, fighting against a demonic cultivator in the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm.
After she killed the demonic cultivator, she saw the situation on the deck and realized it was really bad.
The guardian elder's surname was Yan. Although Elder Yan was in the Nascent Soul stage, he was just an ordinary cultivator from the merchant guild. His cultivation method was more defensive. However, the leader of the demonic cultivators he was facing was extremely ruthless and his demonic techniques were bizarre. After a few rounds, Elder Yan was at a disadvantage. The runes on his spirit ruler began to dim, and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth.
"We can't hold on any longer! Everyone, abandon the flying boat and flee!" Elder Yan gritted his teeth, took another hit from the opponent, flew back, crashed into the ship's wall, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
The leader of the demonic cultivators let out a sinister laugh, raised his longsword once more, and demonic flames coalesced into a gigantic beast head, tightly enveloping the flying boat: "If you want to escape, then let's see if you can escape faster or I can kill you faster."
The cultivators inside the cabin scattered in terror. Li Yan, his face grave, gripped his sword tightly and stood in front of Li Yao, saying, "Sister, don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"
Li Yao clenched his fists, his spiritual energy surging around him, clearly quite excited.
“Brother, I’m not afraid. Besides, it’s just a Nascent Soul cultivator; Mother can handle it. If all else fails, we’ll unleash the sword talisman Father gave us. A full-force attack from a peak Nascent Soul cultivator is too much for this demonic cultivator to withstand. If I weren’t worried about drawing too much attention, I’d like to go out and finish him off in one move.”
Hearing her daughter's words from outside, Li Guang smiled helplessly. There was no need to be so ostentatious when traveling. If she used the sword talisman, the flying boat would have to be rebuilt, and if the merchant guild didn't appreciate it and demanded compensation, how frustrating would that be?
Life and death are predestined; she never intended to be a savior. Whether she was grateful or not was one thing, being coveted and robbed of her treasure was another.
Moreover, Wanbao Trading Company must have other methods.
"You two stay put. If anything happens, I'll break through the outer demonic flames and take you away."
Both children are big spenders when it comes to spending money on in-game purchases; they have tons of treasures and can easily survive.
The passengers' cultivation levels weren't high; most were at the Qi Refining or Foundation Establishment stage, and none of them dared to approach the deck.
If someone is truly a powerful cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage or above, they would have the confidence to travel across states by flying boat on their own, so why would they need to hitch a ride?
Seeing that most of the passengers were injured, and a few cultivators like her who were at the Golden Core stage were fighting off the enemy, she prepared to go up to the deck and fight that Nascent Soul stage demonic cultivator.
It's a rare opportunity to grind monsters, and it's not like she can't fight monsters above her level. If something unexpected happens, and that demonic cultivator is hiding his cultivation level, she can escape if she can't beat him. Her escape skills are top-notch, and that demonic cultivator's tricks can't hold her back.
Suddenly, a sharp whooshing sound came from the sky.
A silver-blue sword light, like a meteor falling to earth, slashed straight at the leader of the demonic cultivators!
"clang!"
The sword light collided with the demonic flames, shattering the condensed demonic flames into pieces. The aftershocks forced the leader of the demonic cultivators to retreat repeatedly, his tiger's mouth split open, blood flowing freely.
Everyone was stunned and looked up at the sky.
