Chapter 1989: Ambushed
Chapter 1989: Ambushed
The Immortal Ship is moving at full speed, but there is still nearly half a month’s journey to Beichen Mansion.
And now, it’s been just one day since Bai Li went into seclusion.
Encountering provocation on the first day makes Xu Nian feel that the guardian duty is not easy. The next few days are likely to be turbulent.
"Forget it, consider it as repaying you for helping me find the intelligence on Leng Yanran," Xu Nian thought to himself.
The reason he agreed to help Bai Li as a protector was mainly to thank her for helping him find information about Leng Yanran.
Without Bai Li’s help, he could hardly have received news about Leng Yanran so quickly.
Although he doesn’t have concrete news now, having some information is far better than none.
Next, there was a period of calm, and Xu Nian sat cross-legged at Bai Li’s cabin door, quietly comprehending Gold Attribute Heavenly Dao.
Within the Chaos Divine Palace, Wind Attribute Chaos Qi is slowly transforming into flesh.
Currently, the most basic skeleton has almost formed, and next will be the flesh.
This process still needs a long time.
However, Xu Nian is in no hurry, as the body formed from Wind Attribute Chaos Qi will surely be terrifying.
Once the Wind Attribute Avatar is successfully formed, he can quickly make the avatar divine, adding a powerful ace up his sleeve.
"Buzz!"
Suddenly, an extremely sharp aura shot towards Xu Nian from afar.
This aura was wrapped in immensely powerful dark energy, terrifying, possessing at least Daluo True Intent level Power of Destruction.
It was an arrow feather, a frightfully fast arrow feather.
Xu Nian was astonished, definitely an arrow fired by a Daluo God Level Expert proficient in dark attribute energy.
Without thinking, Xu Nian directly wielded the God King Level shield to block the arrow.
"Boom!"
The terrifying arrow collided with the shield, erupting with thunderous sound.
Next, Xu Nian was directly blasted away by the terrifying force, crashing hard into the ship.
"Pfft!"
Xu Nian spat out a mouthful of blood, his arm holding the shield trembling uncontrollably.
The force of the arrow was too terrifying.
Even with a God King Level shield, he only blocked the penetration, but couldn’t fully disperse the frightening energy from the arrow.
"Is this the power of a Daluo God?" Xu Nian thought to himself.
Only a Daluo God could shoot such an arrow.
Looking towards the direction the arrow came from, Xu Nian didn’t see any figure, making his expression even more solemn.
At this moment, the defensive formation on the ship had disappeared, precisely because of the disappearance that allowed the arrow to attack Xu Nian easily.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, a second arrow feather shot over.
This arrow was more potent and more domineering than the previous one.
Watching the incoming arrow, Xu Nian’s eyes turned sharp instantly.
The next moment, Xu Nian, dressed in gold attire, suddenly changed into earth-colored clothes.
Simultaneously, an extremely heavy aura erupted from Xu Nian.
Additionally, massive Earth Attribute Divine Power emerged directly.
Xu Nian leaped onto the bow, wielding the shield, far more formidable in stance than the first arrow.
"Boom!"
Another earth-shattering bang.
Xu Nian was blasted away again.
But this time, Xu Nian only retreated to the edge of the cabin, managing to stabilize his body by stepping on the deck, not crashing into the ship.
"Hmm?"
A curious sound came from the distant void.
Holding the shield, Xu Nian’s eyes were exceptionally domineering, emanating a heavy aura of Divine Demon.
Indeed, at this moment, Xu Nian didn’t just change clothes but switched avatars.
The shield-bearer wasn’t the Gold Attribute Nine Infant Avatar but the Earth Attribute Divine Demon Avatar.
The previous move was a defensive technique fused from the Shield Technique Secret Book on the bronze board, creating the Earth Shield Technique’s first move, Unloading Mountain.
A defensive technique capable of unloading attacks with force multiples of one’s own.
The previous arrow’s power was at least around five thousand extremes.
The Gods’ limit is around two thousand extremes; even those with Perfection in Heavenly Dao Enlightenment can only unleash two thousand extremes.
Most Ninth Level Heavenly Dao Gods are around one thousand extremes, close to two thousand extremes is absolute talent.
Even now, Xu Nian’s all-out strike is only around twelve hundred extremes, so the shooter could only be a Daluo God.
A Daluo God resorting to assassination attempts is truly shameless.
Moreover, the disappearance of the ship’s defensive formation was surely an act of betrayal.
"Who? Show yourself!"
At this moment, a loud voice came from inside the cabin.
Then four figures emerged from the cabin, these were Li Mu and others.
Without hesitation, Xu Nian instantly changed the Earth Attribute Avatar to the Gold Attribute Avatar.
For now, he didn’t want to expose the existence of the Earth Attribute Avatar.
Yet after Li Mu’s voice fell, no response came.
Nothing remained visible in the surrounding void.
"Nephew Xu Nian, are you alright?" An Zhihong asked immediately.
"I’m fine, just sustained some injuries," Xu Nian waved his hand, pale-faced.
These weren’t fake injuries; the first arrow caught Xu Nian off guard.
Indeed caused severe damage to Xu Nian’s God Body, dark energy now impeding Divine Power from repairing the body.
Clearing it out will not be done in a short time.
"Did you see who ambushed you?" Li Mu asked stepping forward.
"No, but it’s likely a Daluo God Level expert using dark attribute," Xu Nian shook his head.
"A Daluo God expert? You can withstand?" Li Mu looked at the two fallen arrow feathers.
Clearly made from Daluo God Artifact Level materials.
Yet these arrow feathers failed to kill Xu Nian?
Beside An Zhihong, Cheng Sanjian, including Chen Mingshan were surprised.
This guy can withstand arrows shot by Daluo God Level Expert?
"I obtained survival Divine Talismans from a relic before, just now they saved me," Xu Nian quickly made an excuse.
Upon hearing, everyone suddenly understood.
This guy really has great luck, possessing survival Divine Talismans to defend against Daluo God attacks.
Though such Divine Talismans have limited uses, usually invalid after one use.
Thus Xu Nian likely no longer had such survival means.
"Elder Li, may I ask why the Divine Ship’s formation suddenly disappeared?" Xu Nian asked immediately.
"The core capacity, God Stone, was exhausted. I was cultivating, failed to replenish, thus the formation temporarily malfunctioned," Li Mu explained.
"Such coincidence?" Xu Nian sharply questioned.
Could it be coincidental?
Formation disappears, assassination occurs?
Such coincidences are rare in the world.
"What do you mean, suspecting me?" Li Mu’s gaze sharpened, looking unhappily at Xu Nian.
The atmosphere descended to an extreme cold point.
