Peach Blossom Mountain Liu Jiaxiu's Biography

Chapter 1496 Counterattack (Part 5)

After cleaning up the battlefield, Liu Changxu did not linger there. He immediately led the human army away on the Ruyi Sky-Patrol Ship.

More than twenty days later, the Ruyi Sky-Patrol Ship appeared above a vast and boundless swamp lake, gleaming with an oily green luster under the sunlight. Rotten aquatic plants and withered branches floated on the turbid water, and the air was filled with a damp and fishy smell.

Countless enormous, blood-red mosquitoes swirled and danced above the swamp, their buzzing wings creating a chilling sonic boom that, from afar, resembled a flowing mist of blood. This was the stronghold of the Blood Mosquito Clan, their target of this attack.

Liu Changxu, Jin Haonan, and the others stood on the deck of the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, gazing into the depths of the swamp.

Suddenly, a sharp whistling sound came from the depths of the swamp. Although the sound was short, it had an extremely powerful penetrating force. Even from such a distance, it still made everyone's blood surge.

Soon, eighteen enormous, blood-red mosquitoes suddenly appeared in the distance. Upon closer inspection, they were all at least at the ninth rank, and then they rushed towards this place at top speed.

At the same time, the ordinary blood mosquitoes that were originally flying everywhere also received the order from the Blood Mosquito King and changed direction, rushing towards the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship like a blood-red torrent.

As the distance between the two sides grew closer, the roars emitted by the eighteen ninth-tier blood mosquito kings became increasingly terrifying. Even Liu Fuyang and the others, who were at the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending stage, were shaken by the terrifying sound waves and suffered splitting headaches.

Seeing this, Liu Changxu didn't hesitate at all. He immediately took all the people with lower cultivation levels on the deck into the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, and then said to his daughter, Liu Fuyin:
"Yin'er, you are in charge of the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship and hold off the Zerg head-on. Brother Jin, Sister Su, and Fuhai will follow me into battle."

As he spoke, Liu Changxu flashed out of the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship, and then summoned all the innate spiritual treasures, including the thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, the Ruyi Void Mirror, the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp, the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda, the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron, and the Crimson Lotus World-Destroying Seal.

The thirty-six Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords suddenly split into eighteen groups, with two swords in each group circling each other. As the blades crossed, they emitted even greater heat waves than before. They were enveloped in the scorching Crimson Lotus Karmic Fire, transforming into eighteen streaks of crimson light, accompanied by sharp whistles that tore through the void, as they shot toward the eighteen ninth-tier Blood Mosquito Kings.

Above his head, the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda suddenly transformed into a towering golden tower, its surface shimmering with a thick halo of light as runes were inscribed upon it. A golden light curtain descended, protecting him at its center. The terrifying sonic waves emitted by the ninth-tier Blood Mosquito Kings struck the light curtain, instantly creating ripples.

Above the void, the Great Sun Purple Gold Cauldron transformed into a giant purple-gold cauldron, spewing forth continuous Great Sun True Fire from its mouth. The golden flames cascaded down like a waterfall, burning the surging swarm of blood mosquitoes to ashes, and the firelight even tinged the clouds with gold.

On the other side, the Crimson Lotus Annihilation Seal transformed into a gigantic seal interwoven with gold and red, its body ablaze with raging crimson lotus karmic fire. Like a falling star, it slammed down with the power to shatter the earth, hurtling towards a mid-grade ninth-tier Blood Mosquito King. The insect king flapped its wings to escape, but was locked in place by the annihilation pressure emanating from the seal, and could only watch helplessly as the giant seal grew larger and larger in its field of vision.

Further away, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd transformed into a gigantic silver halberd tens of thousands of miles long. Its blade shimmered with a cold light, resembling a leaping silver dragon, slicing through the sky and heading straight for the sole ninth-tier superior-grade Blood Mosquito King. Where the halberd tip passed, even the void seemed to be torn apart, carrying an overwhelming and unstoppable force.

On Liu Changxu's left and right sides, the Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror and the Ruyi Extinction Lamp floated and stood.

The Ruyi Kongxuan Mirror lit up, and a condensed silver beam shot towards the ninth-grade superior blood mosquito king. Wherever it passed, space seemed to freeze, and the speed of the insect king's wing flapping suddenly decreased, as if it had sunk into an invisible swamp.

The Soul-Destroying Divine Light emitted by the Ruyi Soul-Destroying Lamp followed closely behind, instantly enveloping the ninth-rank superior-grade Blood Mosquito King. In an instant, the King let out a painful hiss, its soul feeling as if it were being pierced by thousands of steel needles, and its movements became sluggish.

At the same time, Liu Fuhai, Jin Haonan, and Su Yuxue also unleashed their spiritual treasures and supernatural powers, attacking the Blood Mosquito Kings in an attempt to alleviate some of the pressure on Liu Changxu. However, facing the sonic attacks of these ninth-tier Blood Mosquito Kings, their situation was extremely difficult. Even with the protection of the Ruyi Xuanhuang Pagoda, Liu Changxu's internal organs and blood were still trembling violently.

However, this situation was quickly met with a counterattack. Faced with the fierce counterattack of dozens of mid-grade ninth-rank innate spiritual treasures, these ninth-rank blood mosquito kings had no choice but to scatter and hide.

Their frail bodies were no match for the bombardment of a mid-grade ninth-rank spiritual treasure.

Even the physical defense of that ninth-tier superior-grade Blood Mosquito King was insufficient, and it dared not confront the Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords head-on.

Therefore, after a period of being on the defensive, Liu Changxu and his team quickly took the initiative.

The ninth-tier superior-grade Blood Mosquito King perished on the spot under the combined attack of the Ruyi Void Mirror, the Ruyi Soul-Extinguishing Lamp, the Heaven-Turning and Sea-Overturning Halberd, and the two Crimson Lotus Immortal Swords; even its primordial spirit could not escape.

Liu Changxu and his companions fought with increasing ferocity, their sword light and the glow of their spiritual treasures weaving into an impenetrable net, and they successively slew five more ninth-tier Blood Mosquito Kings. Seeing their companions fall one after another, the remaining ninth-tier Blood Mosquito Kings lost their previous ferocity and scattered in all directions, wishing they had more wings.

How could Liu Changxu and his group let them escape? They immediately used the Time Cage technique to imprison six ninth-tier Blood Mosquito Kings within the Time Cage.

Then, Liu Changxu commanded his innate spiritual treasures to launch a fierce attack on the six ninth-tier blood mosquito kings.

In just the time it takes for two incense sticks to burn, these six ninth-tier insect kings perished under the siege of the innate spiritual treasures.

At this moment, Jin Haonan and his two companions, who had been chasing the ninth-tier insect emperors, also returned and launched a one-sided massacre of the blood mosquitoes in this swamp area.

Although the number of blood mosquitoes in this swamp is as numerous as hairs on a cow, and there are quite a few at the peak of the eighth rank, they are not a threat at all in front of the three Mahayana stage experts.

Those low-level blood mosquitoes could barely get close, let alone launch an effective counterattack. Jin Haonan and his two companions were like tigers among sheep, their sword light, sonic blades, and golden light intertwining, and wherever they passed, swarms of blood mosquitoes fell.

At this moment, Liu Fuyin, the daughter, also joined the battle and released the 30 million human army from the Ruyi Sky Patrol Ship.

With the participation of this 30 million human army, the speed of eliminating low-level blood mosquitoes was greatly accelerated. However, unexpectedly, the human army suffered heavy casualties. By the end of the battle, a total of 50,000 human cultivators had perished.

Upon learning of this situation, Liu Changxu was deeply saddened by the loss.
