Void Traveller continued to march forward with its speed slowing down. You have to know that though this spaceboat was repaired at Tusk Island for a while, it was too short a period of time to restore its previous consumption. In order to get out of Tusk Island quickly, it exhausted its strength to step up its speed, so its speed could be that fast in a moment. Now after flying for a while, its speed should be slowing down.
It is because of the slow speed, a dozen of people in the spaceboat became nervous. After all, the flying distance of Void Traveller just now meant nothing to an Individual Immortal who had survived four ordeals.
Zhou Bao also secretly regulated his breathing. Now that Lan Shui'er would not let him go, then, he had to fight for himself. They were flying high in the sky, not under the sea. His Internal Qi and Real Essence were almost recovered, even if he was confronted with Lan Shui'er, he could take the initiative. More importantly, he had decided to activate the Natal Sword of Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. When the Natal Sword was activated, it was endowed with the power of a fairy weapon. It was hard to tell who should be afraid by then.
After the speed of the spaceboat slowed down, it flew dozens of thousand miles for another hour smoothly. When everyone was about to relax themselves, suddenly a series of turbulence and quivers shocked the Void Traveller.
"What's going on?"
Everyone looked pale at this moment. A Highest Heaven Celestial Device like Void Traveller would not quiver like this, even if it met with the turbulence at a great height. There must be something special.
"Sea water! It's the sea water!" At the tail of the spaceboat, Ji Yeyue screamed after he realized something.
As soon as the people saw it, their hearts sank. It was a transparent rope which entangled with the Void Traveller firmly. That rope was only as thin as a little finger, and was completely made of sea water. It stretched to a high altitude of 50, 000 feet and firmly fastened to the Void Traveller.
"Damn it! Void Traveller has exhausted itself too much. Otherwise, this thing can hardly trap us!" Yu Nantian said angrily, glaring at that rope.
At that moment, there were some experts of Divine Wind Palace who brandished their knives and cut fiercely right on that rope.
Swish!
This rope made of seawater looked transparent, as if it could be broken by one gentle pinch. Just one cut and the rope was divided into two pieces. Then the Void Traveller started to shake, as if it could get out of this trap. However, as the old saying goes, "You cannot beat a river into submission." Void Traveller only quivered a bit, and the two pieces of rope linked together again and trapped Void Traveller.
"Go to hell!" The expert of Divine Wind Palace was furious and cut that rope several times more, but the rope remained intact. When he was about to cut it for the ninth time, that rope spared one extremely thin branch and suddenly entangled his saber. The branch crawled along his saber until it prevailed all over his body.
"What a moron!"
Zhou Bao reproofed lowly. This Void Traveller was protected by a magic formation. Generally, even if that rope had some magic tricks, it could by no means break the golden light protection of Void Traveller. Now, this expert brandished his saber and cut that weird rope directly, which enabled that rope to find out where the loophole was and to crawl all over his body.
"Nooooo!"
The entangled expert screeched suddenly and then his body shriveled as quickly as everyone could see it, yet the rope on his body became more and more shining.
"This thing can inhale people's essence, blood, and pneuma!" Everyone on the spaceship was startled. They saw the thin rope was glowing glittering and translucent light, with runes floating faintly on it.
That expert of Divine Wind Palace did not notice at first, so he activated his Gang Qi to resist the rope. Just a few seconds later, his Gang Qi was all absorbed and empowered this rope.
It was the weird power of this bizarre rope that made everyone on the boat powerless to help that expert. All they could do was to watch him wither and die. At that moment, everyone looked sullen and solemn.
As for Yu Nantian, he looked gloomy, yet he could do nothing. Watching his subordinate die before him, with a flash in his eyes, he gnashed his teeth and activated his slivery saber to cut off his subordinate's head.
The blood splattered to a height of 30 feet without a drop dripping on the deck.
They saw millions of filaments emitting from that rope and shooting upward. Numerous threads were waved into a sophisticated web and trapped the blood of that expert inside the web. Then it extended downward at a visible speed. This water rope gradually inflated and then suddenly contracted. That headless corpse was exhausted to a dry mummy in a blink of an eye.
"Pia!"
At this moment, the head of that expert finally dropped on the deck. It bounced twice and he died with his eyes wide open.
"It's not good. Let's go!"
At this point, there was no one cared about that poor guy who died with his eyes open. After that water rope absorbed this poor guy, its pneuma skyrocketed. Then it again divided itself into 16 thin water ropes and crawled to 16 other people.
The entire Void Traveller was turbulent with the halo of Gang Qi sparkling, but there was no one who dared to fight against this weird rope.
They all figured it out. This weird rope was able to absorb the pneuma and essence of experts and turned them into its benefits. Even if a person activated his Gang Qi, once he got trapped by it, he would still be absorbed. Luckily, though this thing was eccentric and insidious, it was not intellectual. People on the spaceboat had excellent Qing Kung and they could dodge it easily, and Yu Nantian even had extra power to manipulate the Void Traveller. A few seconds later, the water rope gained nothing and had to retreat. The golden light outside the Void Traveller became brighter and cut out the connection between the water rope inside the boat and outside the boat. They could tell the water rope inside the boat had gradually lost its power and finally melt into a puddle of blood on the deck without any movements at all.
No dared one to act rashly. After watching this for a while, Zhou Bao finally raised his hand and released a thin fire dragon to cover the entire Void Traveller in a hot spirit. That fire dragon flew around that puddle of blood and evaporated all the water in it, vanishing into the air.
It was only now that everyone on board finally relaxed.
"There are really something eccentric in this ocean. What on earth is this thing? How can it have such a weird power. A Level Eight expert was killed in an instant!" The Third Dark Lord of Dark Sect, Chen Dao, was mumbling aside.
"The crisis is not over yet. Void Traveller is still trapped by this damn rope. If we couldn't destroy the one outside, we would never leave this place." Yu Nantian said coldly and turned to Zhou Bao, "Zhou Bao, you look like you recovered well. Your Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Technique seems like it can oppress this weird water rope!"
"I hope so." Zhou Bao could hear the grudge in his words. Zhou Bao should not be the one to blame. Although there was no direct evidence to prove that this resentment was caused by Zhou Bao, no one knew what happened when Zhou Bao was called away alone in the Tusk Island. Since no one knew what happened, Yu Nantian certainly would have doubts about Zhou Bao. Now he had lost one of his most loyal subordinates and he even cut off his head himself. How could he not be irritated?
Zhou Bao could understand his anger. Therefore, though he knew there was a grudge in Yu Nantian's words, he did not give a damn about it. He raised his hand and nine fire dragons came out of the fingertip of his index finger. Swish, they flew out of Void Traveller and hovered high in the air, forming a golden cover which shot right to that rope trapping Void Traveller and wrapped it inside its cover.
It was the Nine dragons Heavenly Fire Shield!
Sizzling...
Water could overcome fire, but fire could overcome water as well. The power of nine fire dragons could never be compared to regular fire. The water rope entangling Void Traveller was evaporated by the Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield of Zhou Bao in a blink of an eye. Void Traveller finally could move and rushed forward. When the mounting power inside the boat was released, the boat left the place quickly.
However, since the other party had first attacked, it would not be this easy.
As Void Traveller rushed forward swiftly, the water rope, a part of which was evaporated by Nine Dragons Heavenly Fire Shield of Zhou Bao, rose again and dashed to Void Traveller at almost the same speed as Void Traveller.
Meanwhile, there were threads of hazy mist around Void Traveller.
Void Traveller went straight into the hazy mist, but no matter how hard it tried, it could not go through this mist.
"It seems like a formation!" Great Dark Lord Du frowned and said, looking at the mist outside the boat. If one was to stretch out his hands, he could not even see his fingers.
"We are at a high altitude of 50, 000 feet. If someone is able to set up such a formation, he must have an extremely strong Dharma power. It must be the Island Owner of Tusk Island!"
This time, they were meant to go after Ye Qingtian and his team, but before they arrived at Three Western Regions, they had already lost one expert and got stuck in such a dangerous place. They did not even know who was their enemy and how powerful he was. Their enemy was a Four-tribulation True Immortal, according to Zhou Bao. Yet they had not figured out what would happen later.
Now that it was caught in this mist, if Void Traveller had enough energy, it could slice the hollow and dashed out of the mist as what it did under the sea. However, there was not enough energy left to maintain the initial speed, let alone to accomplish all of those moves.
"I am Yu Nantian from Divine Wind Palace. If we have offended you, Your Excellency, please show up and let's talk it over. Now you are hiding in the dark and secretly attacking us. I don't think it is what a gentleman would do, is it?"
As the nominal commander of this hunt-down, he had to stand up and say something since he had already lost one of his subordinates.
"Gentleman, huh, this kid from Yu family. I tell you what, we are not humans like you, so don't tell us to be gentlemen. I didn't want to meddle with this trivial chore, but Rolling Dragon King had issued the sea-closing order. Therefore, this is my territory and you can't cross it without my permission!"
"Since you don't allow me to pass through, we can just find another way, why would you attack us like that?" Hearing the words of his enemy, Yu Nantian looked pale with anger.
"Oh, boy. Don't get me wrong. That Sea-turning Rope doesn't belong to me. I just used it to block you!"
