Chapter 863: Signs of Decline

eir overall defense and attack capabilities, but it couldn't improve their inner magical power. 。"These flaming monkey wines, need not be sipped sparingly." 。Do not act without my orders. Your magic...Situ Lang, as well as several other Jindan cultivators from the Xingyue Demon Sect, looked at the Feiyuan warship with surprise as its speed suddenly reached its peak.

A warship, flying in the air, has different speeds: cruising speed, top speed, and low speed. Usually, in cruising mode, it consumes the least spirit stones. Maintaining a high-speed state for a long time is extremely harmful to the consumption of spirit stones.

And the flying hawk warship before them, not only had its defensive spirit shield raised to the maximum, but its speed also suddenly increased several times. In a blink of an eye, it took advantage of the fact that the flying celestial warship's speed hadn't yet picked up, and the side of the flying hawk warship was already aimed at their bow. Although the side of the flying hawk warship only had four spirit cannons, the firepower of the flying celestial warship was mainly concentrated on the flanks, with only two spirit cannons at the bow.

After a probing attack, the four spirit cannons on the side of the ship were now aimed at the flying warship and fired in unison.

With a thunderous roar.... Four beams of light intertwined and surged towards the prow of the Star Moon Demon Sect's flying battleship.

"Damn it, have the marines raise their defenses, increase speed, and change course! Take down that blasted flying warship in one shot!"

Si Tu Jingfeng hastily withdrew from the bow of the ship. Although he didn't believe the opponent's spirit cannons could break through the defenses of their flying warships immediately, a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall. Even though he was a late-stage Jindan cultivator, four spirit cannons were still enough to seriously injure him.

"Third Junior Brother, the opponent is clearly a layman giving orders. In a naval battle between two ships, there's no such tactic! Our Sky-Flying Warships are powerful, but if we follow your plan, it would consume their resources several times over. We might manage to shoot down the Lingxiao Palace's Flying Falcon Warship, but we wouldn't gain any real benefit. We would simply waste a large amount of spirit stones for nothing. Why bother"

At this time, a hook-nosed cultivator walked out from the room on the deck of a flying battle ship, his face solemn.

“If we don't shoot it down directly, can we just outlast it Who knows how long the other side can hold on for”

Si Tu Jingfeng glanced at the hawk-nosed cultivator. This man was his senior brother, and he took advantage of his higher status within the sect to make things difficult for him. In the end, it was all about completely suppressing him, seizing the opportunity to earn merit, and winning rewards from the sect.

“It’s best to win at the lowest cost, a single cannonblast is worth tens of thousands of inferior spirit stones. Such a high price, how could one move lightly” The man with the hooked nose said.

The other five Jindan cultivators, because their cultivation was lower, were all only at the early stage of Jindan. They just watched from the side and did not participate in the fight between Situ Jingfeng and Eagle Hook Man.

"In that case, let the Second Senior Brother lead. I shall observe from the side and see how the Second Senior Brother achieves victory with minimal cost."

Sithu Jingfeng originally wanted to fight with this eagle-hooked nose man again, but he knew the ruthlessness of the man with the eagle-hooked nose. He wasn't very skilled, but he was good at internal struggles. At this time, if they were to stalemate, it would inevitably delay the opportunity. It would be better to take a step back for now and try not to act with this guy again next time. Out of sight, out of mind.

"Activate the defensive aura, turn the helm, prepare the spirit cannons, and maintain a show of force." The hawk-nosed man's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise, but he was pleased that his opponent didn't contest him. He immediately gave the order.

Si Tu Jingfeng let out a slight breath. Although the relationship between the two was not harmonious, his response was considered reasonable. Turning the ship's direction had a huge deterrent effect. If the situation was wrong, he could always shoot down that Feiyan warship at any time.

As the sky battleship's defensive aura shield activated, a golden light shimmered like a giant eggshell, enveloping the sky battleship. The four spirit cannons fired, blasting against the surface with the force of splashing water, but the golden aura shield only trembled slightly.

The flying battleship, despite its size, was exceptionally nimble. Otherwise, Initial Yuan Min wouldn't have been so fearful from the start.

Taking advantage of the fact that the flying war ship had not yet completely turned around, Lu XiaTian ordered his cultivators to fire another spirit cannon. The opponent's spiritual shield defense was weakened once again.

The Flying Peregrine Warship, with Lu Xia Tian's abundant supply of spirit stones, maintained an incredibly high speed. This resulted in the warship consuming spirit stones at maximum capacity and keeping its defenses constantly active. The hooked-nose man had initially thought this wouldn't last long, but the turn of events surprised him.The Flying Sky Warship was several times larger than the Flying Peregrine Warship. Constantly flying in circles like this ended up consuming more resources than the opponent.

Lingxiao Palace has never been particularly wealthy in the Yueyue Cultivation Realm. Even within the Yueyue Cultivation Realm, there are few who would be so generous with spirit stones and adopt such a desperate fighting style.

Although he had just argued with Situ Jingfeng, the eagle-nosed man now had to admit that perhaps it would be most efficient to open fire at full strength as soon as they arrived to bring down the flying swallow warship.

It's just that if we change our course now, it's inevitable that we will be ridiculed by Si Tu Jingfeng and others. The man with the hooked nose's face darkened for a moment, realizing that this was not the time to get angry.

Not long after, the adjusted flying warships, fueled by an unrestrained expenditure of spirit stones, quickly found an opportunity to retaliate.

Five spirit cannons on the ship's side opened fire first, with beams of light crisscrossing and bombarding the Feiyan Warship's defensive spirit shield. The shield trembled violently, but it had not yet been completely destroyed.

Taking this opportunity, the Lingxiao Palace's Feiyan warships retaliated fiercely several times.

Although Lu Xia Tian was able to gain an early advantage by using a clever tactic and firing ten shots first, the disparity in their defenses was still significant. In the end, his trickery couldn't bridge the gap caused by the sheer difference in strength.

“Retreat! All Foundation Establishment cultivators, protect the Qi Refining cultivators and descend to the ground. We’ll make our plans then. Yuandao, you watch over them.”

As more spirit cannons flew towards them, the Flying Eagle Battleship’s defensive spirit shield had already been broken. It would take at least another hour for the Flying Eagle Battleship’s defense formation to reactivate its spirit shield. However, the Star Moon Demon Sect wouldn't give him that time. Moreover, besides attacking and defending, the Flying Heaven Battleship also recovered much faster than the Flying Eagle Battleship. In this aspect, the Flying Eagle Battleship had no chance of winning.

Lu XiaTian secretly estimated that he would probably need at least three Feitian fighter ships to take down the Sky-Flying Warship before him.

"Lu Daoist, what about you" Seeing Lu Xiaoteng had no intention of leaving, Yuan Min hurriedly asked, "The flying warship's combat power is extremely powerful. It cannot be confronted head-on by anyone other than a Nascent Soul ancestor. Lu Daoist might as well retreat while there's still time. If we wait any longer, once the other party sets their sights on us, it will be too late."

Yu Min thus suggested, the facts as Yu Min saw them, Lu Xia Tian had already fulfilled the responsibilities of a palace master. These Qi refining cultivators, at crucial moments, being treated as expendable was also an unavoidable matter. After all, their combined value was far less than Lu Xia Tian's. At this time, they were not unwilling to fight, but that flying warship was truly too powerful.
