Chapter 1931: Invincible Sword Formation
There was a terrible roar in front of us, and we could see the raging waves.
Countless black shadows emerged from the waves, each of which was wrapped in a strong demonic wind, crawling densely on the sea surface, and it seemed endless at a glance.
"Senior Ye, there are too many demon beasts. Let's evacuate this place as soon as possible." Ding Ning suggested.
Ye Chunyang looked up and looked forward for a moment, and asked, "How long does the demon tide here usually last?"
"It's hard to say." Ding Ning shook his head, "Once these demon beasts appear, they will not retreat for three to five days at least, or ten days and a half months at most. Generally, the cultivators who go to Tianzhu Island will retreat three feet when they encounter the demon tide."
Ye Chunyang nodded, and he had a general understanding in his heart.
Before setting off, Ding Tianyi reminded him that he might encounter a demon tide on the way, but he didn't expect to encounter it.
These demon beasts are sea monsters living in the sea. They are born with the advantage of sea water. Even if most of them are not high-level, they are so numerous that it is difficult for ordinary people to get through.
"Sir, these sea monsters are a bit strange." Elder Ling appeared beside Ding Ning and Ye Chunyang and spoke in a low voice.
Ding Ning's expression changed slightly, but he didn't say anything.
Ye Chunyang looked back at Elder Ling, "What do you mean?"
"Senior, you don't know that although the monster tide often breaks out here, it is regular. Generally speaking, it will not exceed twice a year. We have calculated the time before the trip. There have been two monster tides this year, and now it is still appearing again. Obviously, this is unusual." Elder Ling said.
Ye Chunyang looked at Ding Ning, who lowered his head and remained silent. After a moment, he said: "Old Ling is right. We have indeed calculated before that there should be no more monster tides here. This is indeed a bit unusual."
"If we take a detour, how long will it take to reach Tianzhu Island?" Ye Chunyang asked.
He didn't care why the monster tide appeared, but only cared about the purpose of his trip.
"It will take about ten more days." Ding Ning estimated for a moment and said.
If it weren't for the last resort, Ding Ning didn't want to change his route, but the demon tide was raging in front of him, and there was absolutely no chance of survival if he forced his way through. Even if he could really rush through, it would consume a lot of energy, and the result would be more trouble than gain.
"In that case, let's change the route." Ye Chunyang raised his hand and said, the journey of ten days was not far.
Although he also wanted to reach Tianzhu Island as soon as possible, he was too lazy to consume his mana to fight these demon beasts. Instead of doing so, it would be okay to delay for a few more days.
"Old Ling, let everyone turn around!" Ding Ning ordered immediately.
"Yes!"
Old Ling responded and left.
Soon, the sea ship turned around and accelerated to another place.
Although the Ding family's sea ship was not as good as the high-level warships of Tianjue Palace and Qingyun Sect, it was equipped with a driving array on board. In an emergency, a large amount of spirit stones could be invested as a price to increase the speed in the shortest time.
In the blink of an eye, everyone escaped from the encirclement of the waves.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
The ship had just sailed out when a huge wave suddenly rolled up in front of it. A strong demonic wind swept through it, turning into a vortex storm, sucking everyone in at once.
Ding Ning was shocked and quickly chanted the spell to control the magic circle to stabilize the ship.
The next moment, the ship was out of control and flew towards the group of monsters. Many low-level cultivators on the ship turned into blood mist and exploded on the spot under the demonic wind.
Ding Ning groaned, but was unable to resist the invasion of the demonic wind and flew out of the ship.
"Young Master!"
Ling Lao's face changed drastically. He wanted to take action but it was too late. At this time, he saw a figure passing by like lightning, gently grabbing Ding Ning's arm and pulling her back.
Seeing Ye Chunyang's face clearly, Ding Ning breathed a sigh of relief, but then she turned pale. Because she found that their ship was in the center of the demonic tide at this moment, and the demonic wind just now rolled them here!
"This..."
Ding Ning's heart was chilled, and Elder Ling and other Ding family cultivators were also full of panic.
None of the densely packed monsters was below level 4, which means that the weakest among them could rival a human cultivator in the Jindan stage.
In front of the monster tide, they also vaguely felt a terrible breath, which was more terrifying than the monsters around them. Obviously, there was a higher-level existence hidden among them.
"Senior, what should we do now?" Ding Ning was at a loss.
Although she had experienced a lot of fighting and fighting, and her state of mind was far better than that of ordinary people, she was still just a girl in the Yuanying stage after all. Now the vast sea was full of monsters, and she couldn't help but feel panic in such a dangerous situation.
"I'm afraid I can't leave now." Ye Chunyang frowned.
There was no fluctuation on his face. Although there were many monsters, they could not pose any threat to him.
He wanted to avoid it just now because he didn't want to waste his mana in vain, but he didn't expect to be sucked in by the monster wind.
Ding Ning was even more frightened when he heard his words: "Are we all going to die here today?"
"Wait for me here!" Ye Chunyang said.
Ding Ning looked at him puzzledly, and was about to say something, when he suddenly saw Ye Chunyang step into the air and shoot out like an arrow.
"Buzz!"
A low sword sound was heard, and the next moment, Ding Ning and Ling Lao saw only lightning flashing around Ye Chunyang, and silver flying swords wrapped in divine thunder rose into the air, slashing down at the monsters like a violent storm.
The divine thunder suddenly burst out like a tide, and Ding Ning only felt a flash in front of her eyes, and she could not see anything, so she subconsciously covered her eyes with her hands.
When she came back to her senses, the surroundings became very quiet, without any sound.
When she opened her eyes, Ye Chunyang had returned to the ship at some point, standing there calmly. The surroundings were calm, and the monsters separated a path from them, not daring to approach this side.
"It seems that there is no need to change the route, just go along the original route." Ye Chunyang said.
His eighty-one flying swords circled around the sea ship, turning into a sword formation and releasing a cold edge. The monsters that wanted to rush towards them were strangled by the sword energy before they got close.
"What a powerful sword formation!"
Ding Ning took a deep breath, and her eyes looked at Ye Chunyang with awe.
She only knew that Ye Chunyang's realm was in the late stage of the transformation of the spirit, but she had never really seen him take action. Except for a little bit of it on the Cangqiong Island, the rest were his "senior brother" Ye Xiaobao suppressing the enemy with the cultivation of the return to the void period.
Feeling the sharp breath coming from the sword formation, Ding Ning's heart trembled. Although she did not practice flying swords, her father was a sword cultivator and had some understanding of flying swords. Judging from the sword formation released by Ye Chunyang at this moment, his strength was probably far beyond his apparent realm.
"No wonder he dared to lead the monster away alone. He is indeed extraordinary. Maybe he can really break the master's ban this time when he goes to Tianzhu Island." Ding Ning thought so, but he was not slow in action. He immediately asked everyone to work together to activate the magic formation, and the sea ship rushed towards the group of monsters quickly.
The demon wind just now had completely blocked their retreat. At this moment, except for moving forward, they had no way to retreat.
Ding Ning was a little worried at first, but as the sea ship went deeper, she was constantly hearing the hissing of sword energy and the wailing of monsters all around, and she immediately felt relieved.
"The power of the senior's sword formation is not bad, it is even more powerful than a rubbing fairy magic that I have seen before." Ding Ning smiled and praised.
"Imprinting immortal arts? Could it be a sword array magic?" Ye Chunyang asked with some surprise.
The magic copied from immortal arts is rare in the world.
Ding Ning nodded and said, "It is indeed a sword array."
After a pause, she continued, "My father was injured by that sword array magic. Although the realms are similar, the other party easily injured my father with this magic."
"So that's it." Ye Chunyang suddenly realized.
While the two were talking, the ship had arrived at the center of the monster tide. The monsters around were getting denser and denser. The monster wind covered the clouds and the sun. Looking around, it was as dark as the end of the world.
The creepy roars resounded in the ears, and everyone on the ship was terrified, and some were even scared to death on the spot.
These Ding family cultivators were only in the Nascent Soul stage, and they had never experienced such terrible dangers. Even the most experienced old Ling couldn't hide the horror on his face at this time.
You know, none of these monsters are below their realm. If they fall into them, they will be torn to pieces on the spot.
"Senior, can we really rush through?" Looking at the increasingly dense monster tide ahead, Ding Ning's body trembled a little.
With so many monsters, she was worried that no matter how strong Ye Chunyang's cultivation was, his magic power would be exhausted. What would happen then was unimaginable.
"As long as there is no level 6 monster comparable to the Return to Void period, we can leave here safely." Ye Chunyang said.
Now the besieged monsters are basically all level 4, and there are no high-level monsters above level 5. With the Great Thousand Sword Formation, he can kill them with one move.
Of course, even if a level 5 or even a level 6 monster comparable to the Return to Void cultivator really appears, Ye Chunyang is not worried at all, because at this time the clone is hidden next to him. If there is a monster of this level, it will also be killed.
Seeing Ye Chunyang's calm look, Ding Ning really put his mind at ease.
The fact was just as she expected. The ship was moving forward under the protection of Ye Chunyang's sword formation, and no monster could stop it.
During the period, a level 5 mid-level sea monster even appeared.
This monster was as powerful as a mid-level cultivator of the Spiritualization Stage. It could not even approach the ship three feet away, and was split in half by a sword light from Ye Chunyang.
This scene made Ding Ning and others very excited. While moving forward, they also collected the skins, bones and inner pills of various monsters. These are precious materials, and they can get a high price when sold to alchemists and weapon refiners.
Not to mention the level 5 sea monster, this level of monster is not something that ordinary people can hunt.
Therefore, although the journey seemed dangerous, there was actually no obstacle. Instead, the Ding family made a lot of money, which was a pleasant surprise.
