Chapter 552 – Trapped in the Island

Chapter 552 – The island predicament
Thinking back to the previous attack on the Yanzhou Ancestral Island, a sea tribe God of Transformation powerhouse made a move, causing the Yanzhou Ancestral Island to nearly be destroyed, the black-robed old man’s eyes revealed a touch of worry.

Once one’s cultivation had reached the God Transformation Stage, one would be like a saint, with the ability to turn mountains and seas, and to turn clouds and rain.

Although the cultivators at the God Transformation Stage would be bound by the laws of heaven and earth, and could not use power beyond the God Transformation Stage at will, the black-robed old man’s eyes showed a touch of worry.

However, when they strike within a short period of time, the constraints and repercussions are lighter, and they are less likely to be perceived by heaven and earth.

If the Sea Race’s God Transformation powerhouses struck again, and the Human Race’s God Transformation powerhouses were unable to arrive in time, then it would be a disaster for all the cultivators on top of Wind Thunder Island.

The black-robed old man took a deep breath and suppressed the worries in his heart, hoping that things would not develop to that point.

Just as all the cultivators on Wind Thunder Island were standing by, there was a change in the sea demon beast tide in the distance.

From behind the six YuanYing demons, more than ten Jindan stage sea demon beasts leaped out, speeding towards Wind Thunder Island.

It seemed that these sea demon beasts couldn’t wait for this battle to begin.

Seeing this, the leader, a YuanYing True Lord, named several names under his breath.

With each name, a Jindan cultivator stepped out of the queue with a look of being at his disposal.

After naming ten or so people, the YuanYing True Monarch commanded, “You and ten others will be the first to go out to sea to learn about these sea demonic beasts, and make sure to kill them all.”

“Yes!”

The group of Jindan cultivators led the order and stepped out of the formation together, heading towards the sea demon beasts in front to meet them.

When the opposite sea demon beasts saw the human cultivators take the initiative to leave the formation and come towards them, the bottom of their eyes flashed with excitement and wariness as they accelerated their speed.

Several hours later, these sea demon beasts and more than ten Jindan stage cultivators finally approached, and a fierce battle erupted in the sky above the sea.

From a far distance, one could hear the collision of magic weapons and the hissing roars of the sea demon beasts.

Some human cultivators were pierced by the claws of the demonic beasts, letting out miserable screams, and then died.

Some sea demon beasts had their bodies chopped off by the powerful sword qi, and blood rained down on the ground.

Just by looking at it, one could feel the tragedy of this skirmish.

The sea demon beasts were fearless, and the moment the human cultivators stepped out of the formation, they had also put their lives and deaths on the line.

More and more figures fell, and in the end, only two human cultivators and a blood-stained Siren Beast remained in the sky.

Under the combined attack of the two human cultivators, the sea demon beast let out a mournful cry and died unwillingly.

The two cultivators won the last short victory, but there was not much joy on their faces, a line of more than ten Jindan cultivators, in the end, only the two of them were left alive.

When the real battle started, it was still unknown how many people would have to die.

The two of them collected the bones of their fellow clan members in silence, and returned towards Wind and Thunder Island to resume their orders to Yuan Ying True Lord.

True Monarch Yuan Ying nodded slightly and signaled for the two to go to the rear to recuperate.

The battle was imminent, as for the sacrificed Jindan cultivators, and the matter of pacification, could only wait for the post-war arrangements.

The tide of sea demon beasts continued to advance towards Wind Thunder Island, and from time to time, a small advance team would be sent out, causing them to take the lead.

Whenever this happened, the human cultivator side would also react quickly, arranging for cultivators of the same rank to fight against them.

Over the course of two days, three or four battles of various sizes were experienced, each with their own winners and losers.

As the sirens continued to draw closer to Wind Thunder Island by the tide, the six YuanYing Great Demons no longer sent out small harassing groups, and the Beast Tide army stopped fifty miles away to the east of Wind Thunder Island.

This distance was already very close, and with the speed of a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator, it wouldn’t take long to fly there.

Seeing this, the mood of all the island cultivators sank slightly, and the battle with the sea demon beasts was imminent.

After the sea demon beast tide army stopped, it did not launch an attack rashly and just stationed itself. A few YuanYing cultivators glanced at each other and had a bad guess in their hearts.

The human cultivators had relied on Wind Thunder Island to build a solid and incomparable island protection formation.

Once an army of Sea Demon Beasts invaded, utilizing the Island Protection Formation could cause a strong counterattack against these Sea Demon Beasts.

But these Sea Demon Beasts in front of them didn’t seem to have the intention of attacking strongly, and simply wanted to trap them in the island.

Could it be that they were trying to slowly weaken the power of the cultivators in Wind Thunder Island in this manner?
Snow Sword Immortal secretly frowned and transmitted a voice to several others.

“If the Sea Demon Beasts surround but don’t attack, it’s equivalent to trapping us in Wind Thunder Island, our human cultivators will definitely not be able to take care of their cultivation as they defend themselves day and night.

If the Sea Demon Beasts wait for their turn, they will have the opportunity to take advantage of it.”

The black-robed elder nodded, thinking of more.

“The Sea Demon Beasts are besieging the east, west, and south, only avoiding the north, so perhaps they are deliberately disintegrating the battle spirit of my human cultivators.

In this battle, we cannot delay, we must take the initiative!”

After a few people discussed, they quickly formulated a strategy and personally led a large number of human race elites to take the initiative to send troops to attack the Sea Demon Beast.

Learning that a few YuanYing True Lords were going to lead a large army to take the initiative to go out to the sea to conquer the war, many cultivators were puzzled.

In their opinion, Wind Thunder Island was protected by formations, and once they lost their formation reliance, the danger would greatly increase.

The human cultivators only needed to stay in Wind Thunder Island and guard the protective array, there was no need to take the initiative.

However, the orders of the True Lord Yuan Ying were unquestionable, and even though they didn’t agree with this move, they didn’t dare to blatantly disobey the military order.

Among the Jindan cultivators who went on the expedition, Xu Chuniang was clearly listed.

Only a small number of cultivators were left behind to guard the formation, while everyone else had to follow the YuanYing True Lords into battle.

Tens of thousands of cultivators came out in great numbers from Wind Thunder Island, vaguely forming a confrontation with the sea demonic beasts not far away.

Surprises flashed in the eyes of the six-headed YuanYing Great Demons, the movements of the human cultivators were faster than they had imagined.

Since they had crawled out from their turtle shells, they didn’t mind, accompanying these human races to have a good time.

A few YuanYing Great Demons transmitted divine soul fluctuations, seemingly reaching some sort of tacit agreement with a few YuanYing True Lords.

Both sides do not make a move for the time being, only watching the human army and the sea demon beast tide quickly kill together.

A black-faced man at the early stage of the YuanYing period, looking at the large swath of dead human cultivators below, his eyes revealed a color of worry.

“If this form continues, I don’t know how many people will die, are we really not going to make a move?”

The black-robed old man shook his head, “Although there are a lot of dead and injured cultivators of our race, the number of dead sea demon beasts is equally large.

As long as there is a battle, there will inevitably be deaths and injuries. For us to intervene would only cause the battle to escalate further.”

The black-faced big man knew in his heart that the old man was right, but it was just that among the cultivators who were fighting below, there were quite a few of them who were members of his clan.

This feeling of watching his clansmen die and not being able to do anything about it caused astringency to well up in the tip of his heart.

After he became a YuanYing cultivator, he had naively thought that he would be able to protect his family with his cultivation.

But facing a great battle at this level, and a much larger number of YuanYing powerhouses, the power of the early YuanYing stage was ultimately too limited in what it could do.

Perhaps only the power of a Transfigured God True Saint could change the direction of the battle and save the day with their own strength.
