Chapter 389 - 239: Boarding Battle 2
He hadn’t practiced any kind of Body Refining Skill, so when an Ox Power Demon recklessly approached, he naturally had to shout for it to stop.
"Alright."
The Ox Power Demon reached out, and a Golden Melon Hammer abruptly appeared in his hand.
"I’m your daddy!"
He roared, swung the Golden Melon Hammer, and smashed it toward the Inner Sect Disciple surnamed Xing.
Although a sliver of caution had risen in the Inner Sect Disciple’s heart, he never expected this lowly Ox Power Demon would actually dare to attack him.
A deep, dark Demon Bell immediately flew up, instantly expanding to the size of a large basket. It emitted a shrill, demonic howl as it moved to block the incoming Golden Melon Hammer.
With a muffled THUD, the Demon Bell’s Spiritual Light was dimmed drastically by the blow, and even its mind-rattling demonic howl came to an abrupt halt.
The Demon Bell was sent flying back by the strike, leaving an imprint of the Golden Melon Hammer on its hard surface.
The bell’s material was quite extraordinary; it had actually dented the head of the Golden Melon Hammer.
With his life-bound Spiritual Artifact severely damaged, the Inner Sect Disciple immediately spat out a mouthful of Essence Blood. His face turned deathly pale in an instant, drained of all color.
"You! You’re definitely not an Ox Power Demon."
He stared at Yang Jing with wide eyes and shrieked.
The other Ox Power Demons also drew their Demon Soldiers and charged forward as one.
The deck of the Flying Boat instantly erupted into chaos.
In a head-on confrontation, the Ox Power Demons would be no match for these Demon Cultivators. But since the Ox Power Demons launched a surprise attack, and the battlefield was confined to the narrow deck of the Flying Boat, the fighting instantly became white-hot.
Before long, the sounds of fighting echoed from the cabins below deck, and the unending screams of the Demon Cultivators filled the air.
"All the Ox Power Demons have gone rogue!"
The Ox Power Demons held an overwhelming numerical advantage over the Demon Cultivators on the Flying Boat. Soon, the fighting across the vessel quieted down, with only the battle on the deck continuing.
A few Inner Sect Disciples of the Eastern Demon Sect, all in the Foundation Establishment Realm, were still putting up a desperate resistance.
The deck was almost completely soaked in the blood of Ox Power Demons, but the Inner Sect Disciples were also falling one after another.
Although they had taken down several times their own number in Ox Power Demons before they died, they could not escape their fate of being hacked to pieces.
"I’ve already sent a Talisman to the other Flying Boats! So what if you take this one? Hmph, even if we die, you’ll all be coming with us to the grave!"
The Inner Sect Disciple’s once neatly-tied black hair was now disheveled and messy. The Spiritual Light of his Treasure Robe had dimmed, and it was stained red with his own seeping blood.
Multiple Lock Chains were bound around his body, preventing him from flying away to escape.
"How do you know the other Celestial Demons haven’t also rebelled?"
Yang Jing stared at one of the ox heads as he asked the soul-crushing question.
The Inner Sect Disciple’s expression changed drastically.
Sure enough, a moment later, three Communication Talismans flew in from the distance, one after another. They circled around his body.
These Communication Talismans were all shaped like skulls. They were the specialized Talismans used for communication between the Eastern Demon Sect’s Flying Boats, only activated in times of extreme crisis to call for aid from nearby vessels.
"You!"
He glared daggers at Yang Jing, and just as he was about to say something, a hammer smashed down on his head, splattering his brains.
Yang Jing shook the brains from his Golden Melon Hammer. After smashing so many skulls, the hand-hammer forged from Demon Gold was finally showing signs of wear, its surface now covered in mottled marks.
After clashing head-on with the Spiritual Artifacts of several Eastern Demon Sect Inner Disciples, it was severely deformed and no longer usable.
"Niu Keli, have all the Array Masters who pilot the Flying Boat been secured?"
Yang Jing said to an Ox Power Demon beside him.
That Ox Power Demon was covered in flecks of blood and gore, radiating a murderous aura. He had clearly just cut down a good number of Demon Cultivators with his own hands.
"Reporting to the Great King, we’ve captured them all. A few of ’em tried to put up a fight, so I chopped off their legs."
He said good-naturedly, scratching his ox head.
"No matter, as long as they’re alive. Immediately order these Array Masters to pilot the Flying Boat and take us to reinforce our brothers in the other camps."
Yang Jing ordered.
"Yes! If these Array Masters won’t cooperate, Old Niu here will make them taste my axe!"
Niu Keli’s good-natured expression immediately turned savage.
Under the threat of a Great Axe, the blood-soaked Flying Boat quickly began to move again.
Traveling at top speed, the Flying Boat soon reached the first encampment. On the Flying Boat there, the din of battle still shook the heavens.
The Ox Power Demons and the Eastern Demon Sect’s Demon Cultivators were locked in a chaotic melee, with blood flowing like rivers.
Though the Demon Cultivators on that Flying Boat were few, they were barely holding their own against the Ox Power Demons under the central command of a few Inner Sect Disciples.
"Kill!"
Yang Jing, having swapped to a new Golden Melon Hammer, boarded the other vessel and landed on its deck.
When the Eastern Demon Sect’s cultivators saw the Flying Boat arrive, they thought reinforcements had come for them. They never imagined it was reinforcements for the Ox Power Demons.
The once-stable battle lines instantly fell into disarray.
Caught in a pincer attack, the Eastern Demon Sect’s forces collapsed. The leading Inner Sect Disciple was killed on the spot, while the Outer Disciples were spared to pilot the Flying Boat.
The two Flying Boats joined as a single fleet and flew toward the third encampment.
There, two Flying Boats were using Array Restrictions to bombard another Flying Boat on the ground, suppressing the Ox Power Demons below so thoroughly that they couldn’t even lift their heads, causing them to suffer heavy losses.
Yang Jing had his two Flying Boats feign that they were still under the Eastern Demon Sect’s control as they approached the two vessels attacking the one on the ground.
The two hostile Flying Boats were not the least bit suspicious. In their eyes, how could low-intelligence Celestial Demons like the Ox Power Demons possibly be capable of piloting a sophisticated Artifact like a Flying Boat?
Soon, they would pay a terrible price for their arrogance.
The approaching Flying Boats, postured as if to attack the ground, suddenly reversed their demonic light and bombarded one of their "allies."
With two Flying Boats concentrating their fire, they instantly shattered one of the vessel’s Defensive Spirit Light.
Yang Jing led the charge, boarding an Impact Boat with a hundred Ox Power Demons to engage in close-quarters combat.
"BOOM!"
The Impact Boat’s hardened prow rammed straight through the Flying Boat’s deck, lodging itself firmly in place.
"Kill!"
Wielding his Golden Melon Hammer, Yang Jing was the first to charge onto the Flying Boat’s deck.
The whistling head of the hammer instantly shattered the Defensive Spirit Light of an Eastern Demon Sect Inner Disciple, smashing his head to a pulp.
"All hail the mighty King!"
Seeing Yang Jing lead from the front—unlike the Dragon Power Demons and Elephant Power Demons, who were clearly more powerful yet merely drove the Ox Power Demons to their deaths—the morale of the Ox Power Demons soared.
With bloodshot eyes, they leaped down from the Impact Boat, brandishing a wide variety of Demon Soldiers.
Their battle cries were like a thunderous tsunami.
"Die!"
An Inner Sect Disciple of the Eastern Demon Sect formed a Spell with his hands, and a Dragon Power Demon was instantly shaken loose from a banner he held.
"Quick! Kill that Demon!"
He roared hysterically.
The next instant, a golden light came whistling through the air.
The Ox Power Demon had actually thrown his Golden Melon Hammer.
The Inner Sect Disciple who had summoned the Dragon Power Demon revealed a look of ecstasy. For a Celestial Demon like an Ox Power Demon, who only excelled at close-quarters combat, throwing away its weapon was suicide.
But in the next instant, his joyful expression froze on his face.
"BANG!"
With a heavy thud, the immense Giant Power behind the Golden Melon Hammer caused his personal Defensive Spiritual Artifact to flicker wildly, showing signs of imminent collapse.
The Defensive Spirit Light could no longer deflect the entirety of the hammer’s Giant Power. The residual force slammed into the Demon Cultivator, sending him flying like a rubber ball.
"PFFFT!"
He slammed viciously against the hull of the ship, breaking an unknown number of bones.
Even so, the Demon Cultivator kept his eyes glued to that Ox Power Demon. He wanted to personally witness the Dragon Power Demon under his Banishment spell chop off that vile beast’s head.
The Dragon Power Demon let out a war cry and swung its massive Two-Handed Horse-Slaying Greatsword, cleaving down at the Ox Power Demon.
In the next moment, the Two-Handed Horse-Slaying Greatsword somehow ended up in the hands of that Ox Power Demon.
In an instant, the supremely confident Dragon Power Demon was vertically cleaved in two by its own prized greatsword.
"This... What in the world is this monster?"
