Blue Card Starry Sky

Chapter 39 Hard Fight
Everything happened so suddenly that the demon commander was completely bewildered. What was going on? Were there resistance fighters attacking?

"What happened? Who dared to ambush us? Find out for me, and I'll make sure they all die a horrible death!" The commander of the main ship was furious and berated his subordinates.

"Yes, my lord."

His deputies all went down to investigate what was going on. Just then, a dark cloud appeared in the sky and drifted towards the main ship, a large, dark mass.

"My lord, the enemy is attacking! It's those remnant alliance again!" the guard shouted, pointing to the dark cloud. It turned out to be a battle group of demonic unicorns, hundreds of them swarming in the sky.

"Archers, shoot them down!" The commander of the main ship hurriedly ordered the guards to shoot down and eliminate the enemies in the sky.

But before the archers could fire, the demonic Qilin warriors in the sky unleashed a barrage of arrows, raining down on the large ship, each arrow carrying a fiery blaze as it hurtled towards them.

This commander, a veteran of countless battles, spread his black wings and swiftly soared into the sky. As he rose, he gathered power, forming a massive ball of lightning in front of him. It grew larger and more unstable, charging straight at the incoming rain of arrows. A thunderclap echoed across the sky, and lightning filled the entire area in front of him.

With a deafening boom, the lightning ball exploded, shaking off most of the incoming rain of arrows, which then fell into the sea. This wave of damage was averted.

Seeing the demonic unicorn battle group in the sky being attacked and injured by this commander, Lan Tian did not expect that there were sixth-level experts here, which made it difficult for him to deal with them. It seems that his cultivation level is about the same as this lord's, and their strength is comparable.

Lan Tian no longer concealed himself, unleashing the full power of his fiery phoenix form to set the main ship ablaze. This prevented the ship's guards from shooting down the demonic Qilin warriors in the sky, weakening their attack. Seeing his lord about to launch a second attack, Lan Tian quickly spread his wings and soared into the air, gathering his lightning power into a large, powerful ball of lightning before him, which he then unleashed towards Lan Tian. This powerful demon was no ordinary being either; sensing the powerful lightning attack from behind, he immediately changed direction, directing his newly formed lightning ball to meet Lan Tian's lightning attack head-on. The two enormous balls of lightning energy collided.

"Boom!" The heavens and earth trembled, energy fluctuations reverberated all around, lightning flashed, and white light shone everywhere. The demonic Qilin warriors and the main ship were all damaged to varying degrees, and those with lower cultivation levels could not withstand the impact and died one after another.

Lan Tian was also seriously injured, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he crashed onto the main ship. His lord was also severely wounded and fell straight into the sea. Everything happened so suddenly that everyone was at a loss. The demon warriors on the main ship, seeing their leader fall into the sea, didn't know what to do. At this moment, a dense barrage of arrows rained down from the sky, riddling the demon guards who couldn't react in time with bullets, killing them instantly! Those of higher rank retreated into the underground cabins, still desperately resisting. The demonic Qilin warriors landed on the cabins and engaged in hand-to-hand combat with those who fought back, resulting in countless casualties on both sides.

Unsure what lay beneath the ship's hold, the battle raged fiercely, with both sides launching repeated attacks regardless of casualties. Lan Tian, ​​meanwhile, was tending to his wounds in a secluded spot, hoping to recover as quickly as possible.

Suddenly, the lord who had fallen into the sea flew up from the water, a huge splash echoing through the night sky. Then, bolts of lightning struck. The demonic Qilin warriors, now attacked from both sides, suffered heavy casualties. Seeing this, Lan Tian disregarded everything else and immediately rushed forward. Two bolts of lightning collided directly. "Bang, crackling!" The lightning scattered, stopping the lord's killing spree.

Lan Tian is now going all in, channeling all his dark energy. Instantly, black smoke fills the air around him, demonic energy soars into the sky, and his entire body is emitting billowing black smoke.

"Who are you? How do you know our demon race's skills?" The lord was astonished to see Lan Tian unleash dark energy, unable to believe that the Demon Lord's attribute skill had reappeared in the world. This was the Demon Lord's unique devouring skill, which hadn't appeared for a long time. How could it appear on this human? Could he also be one of our demon race, a successor of the Demon Lord?

Lan Tian didn't take his lord's words to heart. He was using all his dark power to deliver a final blow, determined to make his lord vanish without a trace.

"Ah!" A terrified roar rang out. Lan Tian rushed to his lord with a furious roar, and a dark power instantly enveloped him.

"Who are you? You want me to die... in the underworld..." The powerful dark suction force left him with no power to resist. Energy flowed continuously into Lan Tian's body, and his entire body gradually became thinner, smaller and smaller, shrinking into a small ball.

With a "bang," the small ball shattered, scattering metal objects and rings all over the ground. The lord's energy had been absorbed into Lan Tian's body, his entire body charred and pulverized into powder, drifting into the air and disappearing without a trace. A high-level expert was thus devoured without leaving a trace.

Lan Tian picked up the ring from the ground and put it into his time ring. Ignoring everything else, he continued fighting. The energy absorption he had just received instantly boosted his combat power, restoring him to full strength. The absorption of lightning-attribute skills had increased the progress of his same-attribute skills, and he seemed about to break through to the seventh tier.

The demonic Qilin warriors hadn't even had time to react before the battle was over. They only saw a surge of dark energy descend, assuming it was a demonic attack, and didn't see Lan Tian make any move. The dark energy vanished, and the demonic expert disappeared along with it. Very strange.

Now, the demon guards were utterly powerless to resist, and the remaining ones were all dealt with one by one by Lan Tian and the Demon Qilin warriors, leaving no one alive. On this main ship, in the lower cabins, there were more than a dozen large boxes neatly arranged, their contents unknown.

"These are all tributes for the Demon Clan's Great Leader, the accumulated wealth of humanity over tens of thousands of years," a demonic Qilin warrior said to Lan Tian. "These should all be returned to us." Lan Tian didn't open the boxes; he let them keep them. Thinking this, he calmly left the cabin and went aboard. He negotiated with the demonic Qilin warriors, asking them to return the other three ships and properly settle their human kin. Then Lan Tian explained that he would also accompany them to their settlement and went to ferry his small boat over.

Lantian spread his wings and flew into the sky, searching for Yingying and the others, afraid they would worry. Everything went so smoothly that Lantian was very satisfied.
