Chapter 796: Chapter 794: Consequences of Not Eradicating the Roots of the Grass_1

"The magnetic field here has undergone a significant change. No matter what method you use, you won’t be able to rendezvous with your previous companions. Most importantly, even if they become aware of the dangers you’re facing here, what can they do?"

"I suppose you’re not very familiar with the situation in the sea domain. Once the sea domain is engulfed in such wind and waves, it will cut off all surrounding connections. The entire expanse of the sea domain will appear to undulate incessantly. At that point, attempting to venture in would be tantamount to toying with your own lives."

As he spoke, the Light Priest looked once again at the group of young girls at the back of the crowd. He squinted, then spoke gradually, "I have no intention of making things difficult for you. As long as you obediently step aside and do not interfere with us killing these individuals, believe me, I will absolutely not trouble you. I will let you go now."

On hearing these words, Xiang Tian burst out laughing, "Are you joking with me?"

"If you were really that benevolent, how could you have imprisoned all these people in the first place?"

"And don’t think I’m ignorant of your intentions. You’re probably worried they’ll get injured, preventing you from completing the sacrificial ceremony, aren’t you?"

"But since I’m here, you won’t achieve your goal. Even if I can’t protect these young girls before me, I have ways to kill them all. You want to enhance your strength through a sacrificial ceremony? That’s pure fantasy."

The corner of the Light Priest’s mouth twitched, and he clenched his fists slightly. After glancing at Xiang Tian, he gritted his teeth and said slowly, "Damn bastard, I didn’t expect you to have so much to say. In that case, there’s no need for any more nonsense."

He glanced at the people around him and waved his hand. "Why are you all just standing there? This fellow isn’t from the sea domain. And since arriving in the sea domain, he’s caused a fair bit of destruction here. So, hurry up and kill him!"

After exchanging glances, none of the crowd hesitated. They all got up and rushed towards Xiang Tian.

Since the two Priests had already made all preparations, the surroundings were filled with their people. If a fight broke out, Xiang Tian and his companions would gain no advantage. They would even suffer significant losses in the first wave of the assault. Yet, despite this, the Bounty Hunters showed no intention of retreating.

Xiang Tian also clenched his fists slightly and took out the familiar elixir from his robes.

Standing to one side, Han Junxiong’s expression turned grim. He hurriedly grabbed Xiang Tian’s hand and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Don’t you know the drawbacks of this elixir? Besides, didn’t I tell you long ago not to take this kind of elixir unless it’s absolutely unavoidable? That’s completely overdrawing on your life! Although Brother Wang managed to heal you this time, you yourself should know how terrifying the complications are."

Xiang Tian gave a self-deprecating laugh. After glancing at the crowd before him, he said slowly, "Things have already reached this point. Do we still have any room to retreat? Since we’re preparing for a desperate battle, we naturally have to lay all our trump cards on the table."

Xiang Tian’s gaze remained fixed on the Light Priest. In fact, Wang Zhan knew very well that if they could just kill this Light Priest before them, they might still have a chance to survive. After all, even though many people stood with the Priests, these were all inhabitants of the sea domain who had lived peacefully for years, merely suppressed by these two Priests.

Hearing this, Han Junxiong also chuckled and nodded. "If we can’t eliminate these Priests before us, how could we possibly leave this place? Moreover, after a battle, this group would surely not spare our lives and might even subject us to considerable humiliation. Since that’s the case, why continue to be timid and hesitant? It’s better to go all out; perhaps we can still secure a sliver of hope for those around us."

With these thoughts, Han Junxiong snatched the elixir from Xiang Tian’s hand and then said slowly, "Since we’re preparing for a desperate battle, then let me try this elixir first. I also want to see how much my strength can be enhanced."

A faint smile touched the corners of Xiang Tian’s lips. He patted Han Junxiong’s shoulder and then said, "No wonder you can follow Brother Wang. It seems you indeed have some commendable qualities. This camaraderie, at least, is rather unexpected."

"Alright. From now on, I consider you a friend."

Han Junxiong smiled and said, "Unfortunately, it seems we won’t be able to continue our friendship in this life. However, to have the chance to fight alongside you before dying is already an extremely fortunate thing for me."

While the two were talking, the people from the sea domain had already closed in on them. The young girls had long since scattered in fear, but the Light Priest and his men paid them no heed. After all, no matter how much they ran, they could never leave the confines of the Skywind Sea Area. Moreover, this island had long been under his control, and everything was within his grasp.

Following the command of the Light Priest, both forces clashed head-on immediately.

For a time, waves of tremors reverberated across the Skywind Sea Area.

Just as Xiang Tian was about to consume the elixir, a streak of light suddenly shot down towards them. Immediately after, several Fire Dragons soared into the sky and crashed directly into the crowd. Countless people from the sea domain were instantly killed or injured.

Upon seeing this, the Bounty Hunters’ eyes all lit up. They raised their heads in unison, looking towards the sky.

"Could it be Brother Wang coming with reinforcements?"

"From the looks of it, Brother Wang has fought his way back!"

"Excellent! In that case, let’s not hesitate any longer. We must quickly coordinate with Brother Wang from both inside and out, then kill all these people! This time, we absolutely cannot let these rats escape!"

If you cut the weeds but don’t remove the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows.

The expressions of the two Priests also turned much uglier. Especially after seeing the figure in the sky, the Light Priest clenched his fists slightly, his gaze filled with cold indifference.

The Thunder Priest at his side also looked grim. "The Skywind Sea Area has long been sealed off by the tsunami. How could this guy possibly still get in here?"

The Light Priest shot him a cold glance, then frowned and said, "Enough of your nonsense! Our priority now is to escape this predicament. After all, it won’t be easy to deal with this group relying on our strength alone. Besides, these people from the sea domain don’t really possess much skill, so we’d be better off using the chaos to leave."

This was actually just another contingency plan the Light Priest had prepared. He was worried that Wang Zhan’s men might suddenly attack, causing the situation to spiral out of control, so he had made backup preparations. Looking at it now, his foresight was not wasted.

There were still many people from the sea domain before them, so even if they wanted to leave, they could use these individuals as scapegoats to create chaos.

The Thunder Priest didn’t hesitate, directly saying, "Okay, let’s do as you say."

After exchanging a glance, they were ready. However, they hadn’t noticed Wang Zhan’s gaze.

From the moment Wang Zhan entered the battlefield, he had already locked onto the two Priests standing not far away. But because the scene was extremely chaotic, they naturally weren’t worried.

The Light Priest glanced at his companion and then said slowly, "Alright."

In an instant, the two of them shot backward rapidly.

But they never expected that there was still one person standing behind them.

Looking closely, it was Jiang Yin.

Jiang Yin pursed his lips into a smile and instantly revealed the ancient zither in his hands. He then glanced arrogantly at the two Priests before chuckling, "We’ve only just arrived, and you two are already preparing to leave?"

The Light Priest’s expression changed. He then said faintly, "If it weren’t for the black beads in that bastard’s hands, do you really think you could stop us here with your strength?"

"I advise you not to indulge in wishful thinking."

"Get out of the way, quickly! Otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless."

The Light Priest slowly raised his hand, and streaks of fluorescent light instantly converged on his palm.

Jiang Yin, however, showed no intention of retreating. He glanced at the Light Priest, then extended his hand and beckoned with a finger. "Make your move."

After exchanging glances, the Light Priest and the Thunder Priest transformed into two streaks of light and shot directly towards Jiang Yin.

But to their utter surprise, numerous Fire Dragons suddenly descended around them, completely encircling them.

Jiang Yin, without the slightest hesitation, immediately plucked the strings of his ancient zither. One after another, Spirit Beasts charged directly at the two Priests before him.

Since the two Priests were now trapped within the Nine Heavens Mysterious Fire Formation, their strength was also affected to some extent.

Just as the two were desperately trying to block the approaching Spirit Beast illusions, a furious shout suddenly came from behind them, "Damn bastards! I spared you last time, but I didn’t expect you to be so incorrigible! Since that’s the case, don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

"You damned bastards, surrender at once!"

Wang Zhan directly raised the Deep Fire Blade in his hand, and a massive blade of light suddenly slashed down.

"Fatal One Slash!"
