This was a huge gamble, and they had to take a huge risk.
Seeing that Jingbian City was not far away, although he was a little uneasy, he was unwilling to give up just like that.
“Jingbian City is almost here. Don’t be impatient. In the past, we’ve always been safe and sound on this road, and this time, we won’t be an exception.”
Li Xing said in a low voice to comfort them, wanting to calm the hearts of the people first.
“That’s right.”
“Yes, yes, yes, Lord Li Xing is right.”
“Jingbian City is right in front of us. If we give up now, wouldn’t it be too much of a pity? We must enter this city. As the old saying goes, riches come from danger. That’s the truth.”
“Haha, not bad.”
These words immediately drew a chorus of agreement, and the merchants and cultivators happily agreed and made their decision.
Li Xing also laughed when he saw this, and he said, “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here, I’ll definitely ensure your safety. You’ll be safe on the way.”
“Yes, as long as Lord Li Xing is here, we don’t have to worry too much.”
“That’s right. We’ve walked this road countless times, and we’re already extremely familiar with it. What’s there to be afraid of?”
Everyone agreed, and the atmosphere on the flying boat was very relaxed.
But at this time, a red light appeared in the horizon. It was extremely fast and fierce, and in a flash, it arrived in front of the flying boat and smashed towards it.
Li Xing, who was standing on the flying boat, was stunned for a moment. He had yet to react to what it was.
With a loud bang, the defensive formation of the flying boat was instantly shattered and exploded. The red light shot towards Li Xing, and a ball of blood light erupted from Li Xing’s body. After a scream, he fell to the ground.
At the same time, the flying boat also split in half in midair and fell down. There were also the screams of many cultivators and merchants.
“Ah, help, I…”
“What’s going on? What happened?”
“No, don’t, help, who’s going to save me? I don’t want to die yet.”
Boom!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the flying boat smashed onto the ground and shattered into pieces. Many cultivators used all their strength to escape from the flying boat and saved their lives. They stood on the spot in shock and looked around with fear in their eyes.
There were some cultivators who were unlucky, and along with the flying boat, they were buried in the sea of fire.
“Who dares to attack us? You’re courting death!”
Li Xing’s face was covered in blood. He was holding his chest and continuously bleeding. He roared with extreme anger.
What welcomed him was the deafening shouts of killing.
“Kill!”
“Charge! Leave no one alive!”
“Our captain has given the order to kill without mercy.”
A wave of shouting and killing resounded from the clouds. Dozens of black figures carried the baleful aura of annihilation and the might to destroy everything as they pounced towards Li Xing and the others, and they were terrifying to the extreme.
It was precisely the Blackheaven Church’s battle squad.
Ye Fei was one of them, and he was mixed within as well. He’d witnessed the entire process, and it was only when Lu Fan attacked directly with a Flame Talisman that he heavily injured Li Xing, annihilated the flying vessel, and annihilated a few unknown cultivators and merchants along the way.
He’d actually done many things like killing people and seizing treasures, but for some unknown reason, he felt even more uncomfortable at this moment.
Why did they have to kill people and seize treasures for no reason at all? If they joined the Blackheaven Church and still did such a dirty thing, then what difference would there be between them and evil cultivators and devils?
He started to doubt it in his heart, and he started to waver, and he even started to feel lost.
But he knew that he was merely a drop of water in the vast ocean, and he was unable to play any sort of role, and he was even unable to change the flow of the water.
He could only do one thing, and that was to follow the flow of the water.
“Kill, leave not a single one alive.”
Lu Fan grinned, and he revealed a mouthful of ghastly white teeth while his eyes were filled with a gaze of cruelty. He held his saber and charged towards Li Xing first.
He’d noticed that only Li Xing had the strength to fight amongst the cultivators on the flying vessel, and the other cultivators weren’t worthy of being feared.
As long as he annihilated Li Xing first, then the others would only be lambs waiting to be slaughtered, and they weren’t worth mentioning.
“Yes.”
“Charge!”
Facing the sudden attack, the surviving merchants and cultivators turned pale with fright.
“Not good, it’s the people from the Black Heavens God Cult. They’re here to kill us.”
“Dammit, this is too unlucky. The Black Heavens God Cult is too evil. They’re simply too vile and filthy. The Black Heavens God Cult and I are irreconcilable. We must fight to the end.”
“What’s there to resist? What ability do you have? Running for your life is the priority. Run!”
“Let’s split up and run. There might still be a chance of survival. Lord Li Xing, I’ll have to trouble you to help us resist for a bit.”
A merchant cultivator shouted and turned to run without saying anything else.
At this point, they couldn’t care about anything else. They each used their own methods. The further they could run, the better. Attempting to resist was like a mantis trying to stop a carriage. There was no chance of winning.
When the other cultivators saw this, they all ran away. Some took out their Speed Talismans and stuck them on their legs, increasing their speed as they ran into the distance. In an instant, they were like flowers scattering in all directions.
When Li Xing saw this scene, he couldn’t help but laugh bitterly. His eyes were filled with despair and defeat.
“Run? Can you escape? Heh, today, I ran into the people from the Black Heavens God Sect. I guess I was unlucky. However, if you want to take my life, you’ll have to see your own abilities.”
Blue veins bulged on Li Xing’s face as he roared, “If you want to kill me, then come. Why are you afraid of a battle?”
Li Xing's words were rather imposing, but looking at his wounded Immortal Physique and unstable aura, he seemed to be a little too fierce on the outside, but cowardly on the inside.
When Lu Fan saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he shot out a cold gaze. He said, "If you want to die, I'll fulfill your wish. The rest of you, go and pursue them. Remember, don't leave a single person behind."
"Yes."
"Understood, Captain."
"Don't worry, Captain. None of these people will be able to escape."
The cultivators of the combat squad were laughing heartily, and their faces were filled with a relaxed expression. To them, this battle was really too easy, and it could not be considered anything.
It was not only because of the huge difference in strength between the two sides, but it was also because they were outnumbered, so they were bound to win.
"Ye Fei, what are you still standing there for? Come, follow me. Let's go kill people together."
A member glanced at Ye Fei, who was still in a daze, and reminded him.
"Oh, he's here."
Ye Fei had just recovered from his daze when he hurriedly followed behind him.
The two of them joined forces and swiftly chased after him. Soon, they caught up to a merchant cultivator, but he was only at the advanced-stage of the Prominent Divine Realm.
The companion by his side sneered and said, "A mere advanced-stage Prominent Divine Realm cultivator. Can you escape? Ye Fei, you and I will flank him from both sides. We must succeed in one strike."
"Understood." Ye Fei nodded and agreed.
After that, the companion did not hold back any longer. He took out a talisman and poured a stream of magical force into it, instantly transforming it into dozens of fireballs the size of a human head. They shot out and struck the back of the fleeing cultivator.
