A bright light from the aft side of the warship immediately erupted, Ning Cheng knew that it was Yang Honghuo shooting.
“Bang Bang Bang….” Several rounds were shot out continuously, moreover they exploded out with a fierce and powerful fluctuations. These powerful fluctuations were not as mild as that of Spiritual Qi, but rather the burst was full of energy from the explosions of the Spirit Stones.
Those Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivator army who had momentarily met up, under the constant bombardment of the Spirit Stone Cannon were all ripped to pieces. It was just like before when the Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivators had used those Spirit Stone Cannons to shred apart the Jia Continent’s cultivator army, but at this time it was the Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivator army that could not even offer a shred of resistance against this terrible Spirit Stone Cannon.
Ning Cheng could constantly feel the shocks reverberating through his foot, and was secretly worried that under the constant bombardment from Yang Honghuo, the warship wouldn’t finally end up falling apart, right? As for the Spirit Stones, he was not much depressed about it, but in the case that the warship blew apart, then how could he get back to the Hua Continent?
However, after several more cannon shots, Ning Cheng felt that this worry of his was simply unnecessary. Although this Black Silver Warship was constantly vibrating, but it did not show any signs of falling apart.
Ning Cheng finally calmed down. When he saw those Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivators in heavy confusion, he directly spoke up, “Yang Honghuo, use the warship to rush over there, I want to swing out a few times with my axe.”
“Yes, Second Lieutenant Zhuo.” Yang Honghuo happily controlled the warship to rush in the direction pointed, although he was still a bit upset in his heart because he was thoroughly enjoying this sensation, but since the Second Lieutenant has asked for it, how could he not oblige. As to the power of the Second Lieutenant Zhuo’s golden coloured Axe Line, he was very clear on it.
As their warship rushed towards into the middle of the Yi Xing Ocean’s flying warships, Ning Cheng did not hesitate even in the slightest as he threw out a golden coloured twisted and distorting Axe Line. Many of the Yi Xing Ocean’s lower levelled cultivators and their flying warships, under Ning Cheng’s Axe Line’s Killing Intent, behaved as if they were dumplings, as they started to fall into the sea dead.
When Xuan Feihong saw both Ning Cheng and Yang Honghuo rush past him, moreover instantly taking control of the scene, his heart was overjoyed, as he also started to organise the Jia Continent’s cultivators on the island to loot the warships, and then use them to encircle back to kill the Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivators.
From the point of view numbers, the Jia Continent’s cultivator army was by no means a match to the Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivator army. But because Ning Cheng killed a Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator and also helped in killing their two Essence Building Cultivators, the scene instantly fell into the control of the cultivators from the Jia Continent.
Eliminating one person after another, the Jia Continent’s cultivator army soon took over the scene. As for the Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivators, under the leadership of the remaining Profound Congealing Cultivator, reluctantly began to retreat. It was not that the Profound Congealing Cultivator did not dare to fight against Ning Cheng, but he was afraid that if he did then the Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivator army would be completely annihilated. As for those lower levelled monstrous beasts, they simply could not retreat, as a lot of those monstrous beasts were still following the commands that were given to them previously. Once the cultivators who gave them the commands were dead, then these monstrous beasts completely messed up everything.
Ning Cheng along with his warship was extremely aggressive, but the number of Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivators was simply too much. As these cultivators started retreating, the Jia Continent’s cultivator army also killed a few of them, but if they wanted to completely wipe them out, they simply had no way to do it with their numbers.
“Yang Honghuo, aim the cannon of the warship at those retreating, do not be a miser with the Spirit Stones.” Ning Cheng found that the warships of the Jia Continent’s cultivators were relatively few in number, while the warships at the side of Yi Xing Ocean were more. As such those Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivators who were retreating would definitely use those warships to try and get away, as such Ning Cheng did not hesitate to allow Yang Honghuo to direct the cannon fire at them.
He gave up on those cultivators trying to escape, as he exclusively targeted the Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivators aboard the warships.
These cultivators who were preparing to escape soon understood Ning Cheng’s plot, as those cultivators hastily threw themselves down from the warships.
The cultivators on the side of the Jia Continent also understood Ning Cheng’s attempts to control the warships. As long as they controlled the warships, the escaping Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivators would not be able to escape very far.
After two hours, this piece of battlefield finally completely stabilised. As a large expanse of the warships were now under the control of the cultivators from the Jia Continent, but at the moment most of these warships were in a damaged state, and were unable to battle right away, which allowed a lot of Yi Xing Ocean’s cultivators to escape.
The two Essence Building Cultivators, Si Yongchun and Xuan Feihong understood Ning Cheng’s attempts, he knew that it was impossible for the Jia Continent’s cultivator army to completely wipe out the cultivator army from the Yi Xing Ocean, but still for them to beat them to such a state, was already a good luck within a good luck.
It was already a bit too late for the two Essence Building Cultivators to come up and greet Ning Cheng, as they quickly gathered the rest of the Essence Building Cultivators, as they realigned the cultivators from the Jia Continent, and then proceed on with their cultivations aboard the warships.
“Second Lieutenant Zhuo, my Yi Fei Battalion has already been annihilated, I would like to formally request to join the Yi Cheng Battalion as a soldier under Second Lieutenant….” Yang Honghuo excitedly came out from the control room of the warship, and spoke with an excited tone.
He had never fought such a head on battle, which involved directly clashing against and tearing apart opponent’s ships. This Second Lieutenant Zhuo’s Golden Great Axe, was simply invincible, all the cultivators that wanted to come close to their warship, were all killed by his Golden Great Axe by droves.
Ning Cheng simply waved his hand and said, “Yang Honghuo, this battlefield is not even the tip of the iceberg, there was not even a single master that came here, as long as there was even a Late Stage Profound Congealing Expert or a Profound Core Expert, let alone winning as easily as this, we would not be able to even escape. I heard that in the Le Continent’s Yi Xing Ocean’s battlefield, even experts of Crucible Transformation Realm could be found, compared to them our existences are simply like that of cannon fodder.”
Ning Cheng was very calm, from what he could see, an Early Stage Profound Congealing Realm Cultivator was already a top class existence here, but in the entire battlefield of the Yi Xing Ocean, it would not only have Profound Congealing Cultivators, but would also certainly have more formidable masters. It was just that those masters were busy against others, otherwise once those masters arrived, then even with his powerful Angry Axe Killing Intent, he would only be like a floating cloud.
Yang Honghuo was just about to speak, when a tyrannically strong Spiritual Consciousness swept towards them, which was followed by an angry voice, “Little bastard, I am going to skin you……”
When Ning Cheng heard that voice he suddenly shuddered, this voice was definitely coming from extremely far away, but he could still feel his soul vibrate. This definitely was an expert at Soul Essence Realm at the very least, not to mention an expert at Soul Essence Realm, even if it was a Profound Core Realm, or even Late Stage Profound Congealing Realm, Ning Cheng knew that he was simply not their match, facing against a Soul Essence Master, would he still
be able to live?
Quickly escape,
Ning Cheng had just thought of this, when an extremely huge Sword Shadow descended, while Ning Cheng could not even see a shadow of the opposite party anywhere in his sight.

“Run……” Ning Cheng had only had the time to call out just a single word to Yang Honghuo, before he frantically poured all of his True Essence into the chop from his Golden Great Axe.
The other person, because of the distance between them, could only send out a Sword Shadow, if it truly was a substantial Sword Light then Ning Cheng would not even try to resist it, because he knew that even if he employed his full power he would not be able to stop it on his own. Moreover, this Sword Shadow was made from that person’s Spiritual Consciousness, as such Ning Cheng felt that if he could give it his best shot, then he should be able to block it.
As long as Yang Honghuo understood in time what he had meant, and promptly maneuvered the warship, then he still had a glimmer of hope of escaping. Even if Ning Cheng was able to come up with a better plan, once Yang Honghuo could not control the warship, or if his Axe had no way to hold up against that Sword Shadow, then the only option left for him was to jump into the Yi Xing Ocean, and then try to escape into the Mysterious Yellow Bead.
At this time Ning Cheng was regretting that he could not use the Blood Escaping Talisman, he did not know how many times he had reprimanded himself in his heart for it, but even if he cursed himself innumerable times, him using the Blood Escaping Talisman could not be turned back.
But at this moment Yang Honghuo’s experience on the battlefield was even richer that Ning Cheng. When he looked at his posture, he immediately knew that he had absolutely no way of helping him, the only way to help him was to control the warship to escape far away. As such, he did not need any hints from Ning Cheng, Yang Honghuo once again burst into the control room of the warship, and promptly started the warship.
“Boom……”
The Sword Shadow that fell down towards them from a distance and finally collided with Ning Cheng’s golden coloured Axe Trace, immediately letting out an intense explosion of True Essence and Imposing Manner, causing Yang Honghuo and the warship to directly fly out. Because of the sharp and berserk True Essence fluctuations, a huge whirlpool with a radius of several feet formed in the raging waters of the sea below them.
Some of the still struggling cultivators in the sea were directly swept away by this powerful whirlpool, before completely disappearing.
At this moment, Ning Cheng felt as if a terrifyingly huge million-pound hammer had stuck his chest, the horrendous powerful force was not something that he could fully bear.
The next moment, Ning Cheng was just like a cannon shell that had been shot out of a cannon, as he was thrown off from the warship. His hopes of using the warship to escape was completely and thoroughly finished.
Ning Cheng who was still in the air, sprayed out several mouthfuls of blood, while the meridians in his entire body were undergoing a searing pain. However, although he was blown off, at least he was able to escape from the range of the Imposing Manner of this Sword Shadow, moreover because of the toughness and resilience of his meridians, although they were violently shaken, but at least they did not break apart. But even if that was the case, Ning Cheng in his mind was not that happy, the other party had just casually sent out a Sword Shadow from a faraway distance, which rendered Ning Cheng in such a state, once the other party came face to face with him, then would he still have a chance of survival?
At this moment Yang Honghuo was able to finally take control of the warship, because Ning Cheng had blocked most of the power and Imposing Manner of the Sword Shadow. Which only resulted in them flying out because of the powerful True Essence shockwave, as for the warship, and he himself, they did not suffer any injury.
Once Yang Honghuo stabilised the warship, he did not control the warship to escape, but rather controlled the warship to rush towards the side of Ning Cheng. It was apparent that he wanted to be by Ning Cheng’s side at any cost.
“Yi! a mere Essence Building Cultivator. But still able to block my Sword Shadow formed from my Spiritual Consciousness? It seems that I will have to pick up my sword once again……” As the words fell down, a tall and thin man suddenly appeared in the eyes of the people, in the air and above the waters of the still churning sea.
Ning Cheng’s heart sank, the other side had casually sent out a Sword Shadow from a faraway distance, it was already enough to almost kill him, but now that the person himself has come in front of him, just where in the world could he even hide? Moreover, on seeing the man he knew that he was not mistaken. This definitely was a Soul Essence Cultivator, what was even more depressing was that he was actually a Late Stage Soul Essence Cultivator.
“Haha, Wa Lu, you already are a Late Stage Soul Essence Cultivator, and you still want to bully an Essence Building Cultivator, do you really have no sense of shame, let this father accompany you to play……” Another voice spread throughout the battlefield, moreover this voice was like a common knife passing through a bolt of white silk.
“Kong Peng Peng. Today I will kill you, then exterminate all these ants, as revenge for Tuyun……” That tall looking man had a knife scouring mark on his face, and had a fierce light in his eyes. At the moment he had already given up the idea of killing Ning Cheng, as he turned around and immediately starting fighting with the other person.
Ning Cheng finally felt a bit relief, as he fell onto Yang Honghuo in the open space of the warship, as he spoke to Yang Honghuo, “Thank you, but you could have escaped from this place.”
Yang Honghuo immediately stood up and said, “Please do not say that, my life was saved by Second Lieutenant Zhuo. Moreover, I have also become a soldier under Second Lieutenant, how could I try and escape first.”
Ning Cheng just nodded his head and did not speak anymore, as he sat up on the deck of the warship and began to heal himself. He had just advanced to the Essence Building 4th Level, and had also managed to kill an Early Stage Profound Congealing Cultivator. Although he was a bit self-satisfied with it, but he was not proud. Compared to the person who had almost ended up killing him from extremely far away with just a Sword Shadow, his strength was still too low.
Fortunately, the injury that Ning Cheng had sustained was not heavy, because the Soul Essence Cultivator was extremely far away that Sword Shadow was able to be blocked by Ning Cheng’s Golden Axe Trace.
After the time it took for half an incense stick to burn, Ning Cheng finally stood up. At this time, he was shocked to find out that the fight between these two Soul Essence Cultivators was not something that ordinary cultivator could even interfere. Because all around the two people fighting, for almost in a range of hundred feet, their True Essence was violently surging.
Within that range, there was neither a cultivator nor a single warship present, moreover everyone near them already knew that they had to withdraw, otherwise they all would have ended up dying from just the residual shocks from the two people fighting.
Even the seawater below them was churning violently to the point of creating massive waves, as such even the nearest spectators, had already withdrawn thousands of meters away.
Ning Cheng came to understand, no wonder that before when the cultivators were fighting against each other, the highest cultivation among them was only at Profound Congealing Realm, as long as an advanced level cultivator entered the battlefield, the entire battle field would belong to that advanced level cultivator.
The two people fighting were clearly cultivators in the Late Stages of Soul Essence Realm, Ning Cheng saw that the tall man with thin eyes had a long sword type magic weapon that was as long as his
body, while his opponent was a short man, that had an extremely wide edged knife type magic weapon.
But looking at both of them, there magic weapons were completely out of tune, but even then one could still tell that the two of them were fighting extremely fiercely with just a glance.
As the thick Knife Light that looked like a bolt of silk and the Sword Light collided at the same place, Ning Cheng could only see a formidable True Essence whirlpool even with using his Spiritual Consciousness.
After the time it took for another half an incense stick to burn passed by, that tall man angrily stormed out of the Knife Light and Sword Light’s range, as he coldly stared at Ning Cheng and said, “Little bastard, you killed Shen Tuyun, sooner or later your head will be sent to the Yi Xing Ocean.”
Saying that he looked at the short person he was battling against and spoke with a grunt, “Kong Peng Peng, be proud that I am giving you some more time, once I advanced to the Soul Sculpting Realm, let’s see if you could still compete with me?”
After that remark, his stature flickered a few times, before he disappeared in a twinkling of an eye.
“To defeat me as your opponent, you want to advance to the Soul Sculpting Realm, do you think that your grandpa will just sit still? Bah.” The short man did not go catch up to him, but rather landed at the front of Ning Cheng’s warship.
Yang Honghuo’s action was even faster than Ning Cheng’s, as he hurriedly came forward and offered a military salute, “Yi Fei Battalion’s Yang Honghuo greets General Kong.”
As Ning Cheng saw this, he quickly learnt from Yang Honghuo’s action and spoke, “Yi Cheng Battalion’s Zhuo Yi greets General Kong.”
Meanwhile Ning Cheng already had taken a glance at the man’s shoulder, it had a blue card with 6 Stars, with the name Kong Peng Peng written on it.
