Chapter 595: Section 383: Heart of Freedom of Wind Blade
The Dragon-man youth had already experienced numerous battlefields.
From these experiences, he realized that the key element determining the direction of a war was the top warriors.
In this ambush naval battle, Feng Lian, Yue Qian, Kong Pan, and Sashamanda were all at the Golden Level, the top warriors on the battlefield.
Without a doubt, only when one of them emerged victorious could the outcome of this naval battle be determined.
Feng Lian hovered high in the air, took a deep breath, and disregarding the consumption of his fighting energy, exerted all his strength!
Combat Skill—Wind Blade, Continuous Slash.
Combat Skill—Wind Blade, Great Slash.
Combat Skill—Wind Blade, Swift Slash.
He was using three combat skills simultaneously.
He swung the long-handled scythe in his hands, and with each strike, a wind blade flew out.
The wind blades flew in the air, rapidly enlarging, and finally took shape, measuring over 10 meters long!
The blue wind blades successively chopped down on the tough transparent space barrier.
Each strike made Kong Pan’s face grow paler.
In just a few seconds, Feng Lian had slashed over a dozen times, and Kong Pan’s face was pale as if he were severely ill.
“Quick! Stop him,” Kong Pan called for support.
Yue Qian had already taken action one step ahead and teleported behind Feng Lian.
Feng Lian was prepared, immediately turned around, and his scythe whirred as he slashed.
Clang, clang, clang!
Yue Qian also deployed a combat skill, causing his thin sword to produce a burst of dazzling sword light.
The white sword light and the blue wind blades collided with each other, slicing through the air and emitting a series of sharp, metallic cracking sounds.
Three seconds later, Yue Qian could no longer withstand the pressure.
But he couldn’t retreat, he needed to buy time for Kong Pan to catch his breath and heal.
Combat Skill—Five Stages, Air Raid!
Yue Qian retreated, stepping into another space.
But immediately after, he appeared at Feng Lian’s side, thrusting out his thin sword.
Fighting energy filled the thin sword, especially at the tip, which became extremely sharp, as if gleaming with sunlight.
Feng Lian extended his other hand and cast a spell.
A magic wind shield suddenly appeared, blocking the first attack.
Yue Qian’s strike missed, and he retreated back into space behind him, disappearing from sight.
When he reappeared, he was already behind Feng Lian.
He thrust his sword out again.
Feng Lian’s brows furrowed tightly.
He knew the Air Raid combat skill; it wasn’t exclusive to the Lijian family but was a classic space department attack skill combining transfer and attack in one.
This skill allowed a fighter to break through space, instantly appear at another location, and the first attack after transferring had spatial penetration effect, making it extremely powerful.
Yue Qian’s Five Stages, Air Raid was five position transfers and attacks.
Feng Lian couldn’t just let it be.
But if he exhausted himself in defense, then he would fall into the enemy’s trap and miss a valuable opportunity to strike!
Feng Lian growled and, on top of utilizing three combat skills, deployed the fourth.
Wind Blade—Chaotic Times!
His attack speed instantly surged fivefold, frantically swinging the scythe in his hands.
His arms and the scythe moved so fast that they formed black shadows in the air.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
Nearly a hundred wind blades burst forth, their devastating attacks covering all directions, above and below.
Yue Qian didn’t dare continue his attack.
He continued to use Air Raid, rapidly distancing himself from Feng Lian and landing on a Navy warship.
“This is bad! We can’t hold it here,” he exclaimed with horror as he saw nearly a hundred enlarged wind blades flying toward the surrounding space barriers.
Yue Qian was well aware of Kong Pan’s capabilities; facing such a terrifying attack, Kong Pan wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
However, Kong Pan miraculously held on.
The space barrier still existed!
Feng Lian’s brows deeply furrowed, and Yue Qian also felt puzzled.
“It’s because I used a time delay magic!” Sashamanda’s voice rang in Yue Qian’s ear, “This wave of attacks will take effect after some time.”
“I have also bestowed this spell on you, quickly go and entangle Feng Lian; we can’t let him continue attacking like this!”
Sashamanda’s tone was very urgent.
Time magic landed on Yue Qian, causing his body surface to occasionally flash with diamond brilliance.
With renewed confidence, Yue Qian once again charged at Feng Lian.
When Feng Lian clashed with him, he quickly realized that his attacks, falling on Yue Qian, had no effect.
Yue Qian, fearless in the face of death, exchanged blow for blow.
Although Feng Lian’s strength was clearly superior, he struggled to defend against such shameless tactics and focused mainly on defense.
Seizing this opportunity, Kong Pan decisively ordered the warship to launch a full-scale attack.
The Navy fleet had originally maintained a distance from the Divine Wind and other ships. Upon command, half of the ships, like a group of sharks, rushed towards the three pirate ships.
The pirates fired their cannons with little effect.
Seeing the Navy’s new warships about to collide, the First Officer activated two alchemy components in succession.
The first alchemy component created a giant blue airflow wind chain connecting the three pirate ships.
The wind chain linked the three pirate ships as one.
The second alchemy component generated a furious wind, blowing fiercely in all directions, forming a continuously moving wind barrier.
The Navy warships were pushed backward by the wind barrier.
However, the Navy was well-prepared.
These two alchemy components had already been exposed; the Navy was informed of this intelligence.
Once they closed the distance, they began deploying their troops.
The Avalanche Team was teleported directly onto the decks of three pirate ships thanks to the warship’s transportation device.
The Dragon-man youth thus caught sight of them.
This was the most famous team from the Ice Sculpture Kingdom.
The team members were all Snow Elves, almost without exception.
The Snow Elves were slender and tall, but the members of the Avalanche Team were all “fatty as balls.”
This was because their alchemical armor was very peculiar, known as Snowball Armor.
With this full-body armor equipped and activated, the Snow Elves’ bodies would attract the surrounding frost elements, enveloping them and forming individual snowmen.
Therefore, members of the Avalanche Team were all over 2 meters tall, with waists as thick as barrels, looking like little giants.
The pirates attacked these blue and white snowmen, but the Snowball Armor was so thick that the impact of their attacks was minimal, at most shaving off flakes of snow.
As long as the attacks paused or weakened, the surface of the snowmen would quickly regenerate.
The Snowball Armor also had self-repair capabilities.
The Avalanche Team rampaged across the deck. Some rolled around with arrows and swords sticking out of them, crushing the pirates directly underneath. Others formed snowballs and hurled them around. Wherever the snowballs struck, adult-sized blocks of ice formed, sealing the sails, ropes, and cannon muzzles.
There were indeed Silver Level leaders among the pirates, but no matter how fiercely they fought, not a single member of the Avalanche Team was lost.
They coordinated with each other with extreme tacit understanding.
Whenever a member’s Snowball Armor was whittled down to its limit, those nearby would immediately come to their aid, transferring their own body’s frost elements to him.
With such support, the team member’s armor’s recovery speed would surge multiple times. In seconds, it was restored as good as new, and he was back in the fight!
Such defense left the pirates in despair.
The Avalanche Team caused massive destruction, some began attacking the cabins, causing even greater chaos.
“The opportunity has arrived!” The Dragon-man youth, seeing this, immediately sprang into action.
He quietly left the Deep Sea Monster Fish, sneaking all the way into the Divine Wind.
Before his action, he had used Deception and Disguise Skill and Anti-Intelligence Prophecy Skill, disguising himself as one of the pirates.
The scene was too chaotic, making his movement very smooth.
The reason he didn’t disguise himself as a member of the Snowball Team was firstly because the team trained frequently and the members knew each other well, and secondly, transforming into a snowman would definitely lead to being attacked by the pirates.
The Dragon-man youth searched the cabin for Lan Zao, but an alarm went off from the alchemy device on his body.
After his departure, the Tower Spirit took charge of controlling the ship.
The Tower Spirit informed the Dragon-man youth that a large fleet of ships had appeared at the edge of the battlefield and was heading straight here.
“It’s our people!” The pirates’ First Officer exulted, shouting loudly.
The Pirates’ morale was greatly boosted.
The main force of the Divine Wind Pirate Group arrived just in time to provide support.
They entered the battlefield and activated their Alchemy Components.
Wind Chains linked the pirate ships together, eventually forming a green wind that blew towards the Divine Wind.
The green wind was blocked by a spatial barrier.
Feng Lian snorted coldly, for the first time holding the scythe with both hands, stretching his arms straight and lifting it above his head.
Wind Blade – Great Slash!
Shush.
A light sound, and a hundred-meter-long Wind Blade was launched.
Kong Pan’s heart alarm screamed, “Such an attack must not be met head-on, even with time magic to delay its effect, I would undoubtedly die!”
Kong Pan had to cancel the spell.
Without the spatial barrier, the green wind rushed to the Divine Wind, quickly condensing into a huge, thick Wind Chain.
Additionally, the Divine Wind had two other Wind Chains connecting the other two pirate ships.
The Wind Chains began to exert their force, pulling the three pirate ships outward.
Despite the fact that the pirates had lost their sails, such immense pulling force still allowed them to burst forth with terrifying speed.
The Dragon-man youth, still searching for Lan Zao in the cabin, was caught off guard by the sudden movement of the Divine Wind, nearly losing his balance and tumbling down.
“We can’t let them escape!” Kong Pan ordered sternly, “Avalanche Team, activate the Snow Giant!”
Members of the Avalanche Team quickly gathered together, stacking up into a pyramid-shaped human tower.
The frost elements on the surface of their armor spread rapidly, congealing into one.
Under their combined Combat Skills, they “combined” into a snow giant approximately fifty to sixty meters tall.
With a massive shove, the snow giant broke the main mast of the Divine Wind.
Another stomp, and it smashed a huge hole in the deck.
Just as the Snow Giant was about to continue its dominance, Feng Lian flashed into the air right above its head.
Kong Pan appeared in time to block Feng Lian.
Feng Lian didn’t even glance at him; his expression indifferent, he executed his trump card Combat Skill.
Wind Blade – Heart of Freedom!
He shut his eyes and breathed out on his scythe.
A humanoid phantom emerged from his body, dragging the phantom of a scythe, and made a gentle cut straight ahead.
A turquoise wind swirled out, only a small clump about 30 centimeters in length, starkly different from the previous terrifying and violent giant Wind Blade.
Kong Pan’s eyes widened dramatically, sensing the scent of death in this breath of wind.
He hurriedly retreated through the air, the next moment, returning to the warship.
“How could this be?!” He couldn’t dodge the attack, shocked beyond measure as he saw a wisp of turquoise wind penetrating his chest.
The turquoise wind infiltrated into the stent of the snow giant.
The Snow Giant crumbled, countless members of the team either dead or injured.
Another wisp of wind fell onto the deck, coming face to face with the Dragon-man youth.
The Dragon-man youth broke through the ship’s hull directly, fleeing into the sea.
The wind seemed slow yet was fast, embedding itself into his back.
The Dragon-man youth’s body violently shook, his strength drained instantly as his eyes bulged angrily, sinking to the bottom of the sea.
Boom!
The Divine Wind’s speed finally exploded, pulled by the tremendous force of the Wind Chains, and the entire ship leapt up, half a meter off the sea surface.
The next moment, the Divine Wind fell into the sea, creating huge waves.
It, along with the other two badly damaged pirate ships, successfully broke through and sailed away.
