As time passed, the distance between the Beihai Navy and the enemy was getting closer and closer.
An hour passed, and the enemy was still ten miles away from the Beihai Navy.
Two hours passed, and the enemy was still five miles away from the Beihai Navy.
When the third hour passed, the distance between the two sides was still less than three miles.
Mao Jiang stood on the rear army's warship, looking at the figures rising into the sky, his expression became more and more heavy.
The opponent launched an attack, using the strong men of the Jizhao Realm and the Xiantian Warriors as the vanguard to forcefully launch the attack.
This situation is actually rare. Generally speaking, innate warriors are the elite force in the army, and the powerful ones in the Jizhao Realm are the spiritual pillar and the most important combat power of an army.
Before the opponent's Jingzhao Realm strongmen are eliminated, the Jingzhao Realm strongmen should try to preserve their strength. Unless the opponent's Jingzhao Realm strongmen no longer pose a threat, their own Jingzhao Realm strongmen will take action to clean up the ordinary soldiers and completely attack them.
Break the determination of ordinary soldiers to resist.
But now the other party actually directly uses the powerful Jizhao Realm and Xiantian warriors as the vanguard, obviously determined to keep them.
"How much longer?"
Mao Jiang asked Ye Xiangzhen beside him.
"Two hours!"
Ye Xiangzhen said.
Mao Jiang raised his head and looked at the sky. It was already approaching dusk. Two hours later, it would probably be night, which meant that they might have to have a night battle.
Fighting at night on the sea is definitely not a good thing.
But now he doesn't care about that anymore.
At this moment, figures flew out from behind him.
It was the enshrining deity headed by Ye Gucheng who made the enshrinement.
Ye Gucheng took the lead with his sword, and the bright sword energy burst out instantly and shot straight into the sky.
The next moment, the sword energy slashed down and landed on the turbulent sea, forming a ravine a hundred feet long.
The seawater splashed for more than ten feet, causing a group of powerful Jingzhao Realm warriors who were flying towards them to stop.
This sword carried the most condensed sword intent. Although it did not strike anyone, everyone could feel the strong murderous intention.
Zhao Lun, the Jingling Marquis of the Giant Spirit Dynasty, is known as the Jingling Sword Marquis. He has the late stage of Ji Zhao Realm and the fourth level of Divine Intention Realm. He is considered to be one of the few strong men in the entire Giant Spirit Dynasty.
At this time, Zhao Lun looked at Ye Gucheng who was standing in front of him, his eyes full of surprise and surprise.
"Who is coming?"
He was very interested in Ye Gucheng's identity.
"Dali Ye Gucheng!" Ye Gucheng was hanging in the sky, holding a long sword and looking at him calmly.
"Zhao Lun from the Giant Spirit Dynasty!" Zhao Lun introduced himself with a slight curl of his lips.
As a swordsman, he could feel the powerful sword intention from Ye Gucheng.
Facing Ye Gucheng, he was delighted to see him.
Of course, he did not forget about business. Their mission was to stop the Beihai Navy who wanted to evacuate.
Zhao Lun winked at the people around him, and the next moment, everyone around him rushed towards the Beihai Navy again.
However, these people were also blocked by the masters and strong men on Dali's side.
In just one breath, bursts of roaring sounds erupted from the sky and the sea, and terrifying energy fluctuations spread in all directions like frenzied waves.
Ye Gucheng glanced around.
In terms of the number of strong men alone, the Giant Spirit Dynasty undoubtedly has an absolute advantage.
Although there are six powerful men from the Jizhao Realm who are following the Beihai Navy on this expedition, there are twelve from the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
Not only the powerful ones in the Jingzhao Realm, but also the innate warriors and the Giant Spirit Dynasty also had an absolute numerical advantage.
Zhang Jihai represents the noble class of the Juling Dynasty. Although Hou Yunrui has the support of the Juling Emperor and the court, the strong men Zhang Jihai brought to this expedition are not much less than those around Hou Yunrui.
A strong man at the fourth level of the Divine Realm is enough to prove how powerful Zhang Jihai represents.
The two sides fought, and within just a moment, Dali's side began to retreat steadily.
It's not that the strong men on Dali's side are not strong enough, but that there are too many people on the other side.
Seeing this, Ye Gucheng frowned.
This situation was somewhat beyond his expectation. He originally thought that even if the Giant Spirit Dynasty was more numerous than them, they would not be far ahead of them, but he did not expect that the opponent would actually have so many powerful men from the Silent Light Realm.
"Your opponent is me!" Zhao Lun seemed to see Ye Gucheng's thoughts and chuckled.
Ye Gucheng frowned and looked at Zhao Lun. Obviously, this Zhao Lun was a difficult opponent.
Just when Ye Gucheng was tangled, a loud burst of laughter suddenly came from the northern sky.
"Hahaha, it seems that the dean came at the right time!"
The loud voice vibrated between the sky and the sea, and Ye Gucheng knew who was coming without even looking.
His frown relaxed, and a faint smile appeared on his lips.
The visitors were none other than Xiong Ba and others.
I saw Xiongba wearing a black robe, walking in the air, exuding a mighty and domineering aura.
Behind him were Cheng Mo, Xie Lingyun, Wu Hua, Huang Yaoshi and others.
Although their arrival did not reverse the situation, it kept both sides in a balanced state.
At the very least, the Giant Spirit Dynasty's advantage in the Jingzhao realm's powerful men has been wiped out.
As for who was strong and who was weak, Xiongba told everyone around him with just one punch.
Tianshuang Fist!
A punch shook the sky, and the next moment an unlucky Jizhao Realm expert was blasted into the sea.
It's a pity that Xiongba has not broken through to the fourth level of the divine realm until now.
Originally, Xiongba was the first person in Dali to sense the opportunity for a breakthrough, but it turned out that Ye Gucheng broke through, and Taoist Tongxin also broke through before, but Xiongba was unable to break through.
It's not that Xiongba is incompetent, but that's what breakthroughs in cultivation are like.
No one can predict it, and no one can accurately control it.
Seeing Xiongba making a strong move, an imposing old man immediately stood in front of him.
"Who are you?" Now it was Xiong Ba's turn to ask.
The old man stroked his beard and said calmly: "The widowed old man Zhang Ye!"
Xiongba's eyes moved, "I know you."
"Oh!" Zhang Ye was slightly surprised.
Xiongba laughed, "You are a well-known strong man in the Giant Spirit Dynasty for a long time!"
Zhang Ye is very old, already over two hundred and fifty years old, and is considered an old man among the powerful men in the Silent Light Realm.
Within the Giant Spirit Dynasty, Zhang Ye's reputation is very high because he has an apprentice who is the current Giant Spirit Emperor.
The current Giant Spirit Emperor had trained with Zhang Ye for more than ten years before he ascended the throne, so Zhang Ye also has a title, that is, Emperor Master.
However, Zhang Ye never admitted that he was the master of the Giant Spirit Emperor, so he always called himself the widowed old man.
Having no wife, no children, no disciples, no descendants, he is a widower and an old man.
Xiong Ba is not Ye Gucheng. Ye Gucheng only cares about kendo and doesn't care about other things at all.
Xiongba is also the dean of the Enshrinement Court, and he pays considerable attention to secular affairs, especially now that Dali is at war with the Giant Spirit Dynasty, so he has made a point of getting to know the powerful people in the Giant Spirit Dynasty.
He had known both Zhao Lun and Zhang Ye before.
"Since you know I'm old, don't be polite!"
Zhang Ye was just slightly surprised, then waved his sleeves and rushed towards Xiong Ba with a majestic energy.
The next moment.
The two collided together.
It has to be said that Zhang Ye's strength is still very strong. Under the same realm, he can compete with Xiongba on a par, which is enough to prove that his strength is far superior to the average third-level powerhouse of the Divine Realm.
…
On the warship of the Western Route Army of the Juling Dynasty.
Zhang Jihai looked at the powerful Jizhao Realm warriors fighting in the air, his meticulous face full of solemn expressions.
"Is the other party's support coming?"
"No, just a few powerful men from the Silent Light Realm came here!" the general next to him replied.
Zhang Jihai asked again: "How far away is their army from here now?"
The general next to him looked stagnant, and said with some embarrassment: "There is no trace of the opponent's army yet!"
They don't have a machine bird to extend their detection range to thirty miles around.
Zhang Jihai didn't blame him, he just took a deep breath and said, "We don't have much time!"
"Push the gun boats up!"
"Here!"
…
On the sky.
Ye Gucheng no longer worried about other people, and instead focused all his attention on Zhao Lun in front of him.
"Show me your sword skills!"
Ye Gucheng stared at the sword in Zhao Lun's hand.
With a smile in his eyes, Zhao Lun slowly raised the long sword in his hand, and the sharp sword power spread instantly.
A dazzling light suddenly appeared, and just then there was a sweet sword cry. The bright sword light cut through the void, and a sword thrust out.
The bright sword light flows over the long sword, releasing endless edge.
Vaguely, there seemed to be a hissing sound, and the void was torn apart like cloth, leaving nothing to hold it.
In an instant, the sword light spanned dozens of feet and appeared in front of Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng only felt his eyes stinging, as if being pricked by needles.
The sharp sword!
In just a moment, Ye Gucheng felt Zhao Lun's sharp sword intent.
This is a completely different sword intent from Ye Gucheng.
Ye Gucheng's sword intention is not limited to a certain attribute of the sword, but pursues the all-round perfection of the sword.
Zhao Lun is just the opposite, he only pursues the ultimate in edge.
Indestructible and indestructible.
It stands to reason that the sword intention that Ye Gucheng perceived includes Zhao Lun's sword intention.
But the problem is that Zhao Lun far surpasses Ye Gucheng in terms of sharp swordsmanship.
Ye Gucheng has just broken through to the fourth level of the divine realm, and his ultimate sword intention has not yet truly reached the ultimate level of the fourth level of the divine realm.
So in terms of the sharpness of his sword, he is not as good as Zhao Lun.
But this does not mean that Ye Gucheng is weaker than Zhao Lun.
Facing Zhao Lun's extremely sharp sword, Ye Gucheng did not retreat but advanced. The long sword was unsheathed and the sword pointed straight out.
The tip of the needle faced the wheat awn and collided with Zhao Lun's sword.
The two swords collided, and the bright sword light burst out, causing the color of the sky to change.
