Chapter 407 Turning the Tide
As mentioned before, compared to the Auspicious Cloud List and the Blood Demon List, many Wanxiang Sect leaders actually pay more attention to the disciples' ranking on the Contribution List.
This is because this ranking proves the contributions that the disciples have made to the Wanxiang Sect, especially those under a thousand years old, who have unstable minds and erratic behaviors and can easily go against the sect.
Now that Lu Changjing has made it onto the top three lists, he has proved his talent and aptitude, as well as his overall strength. Now even his loyalty has been proven. How can we not be happy?
Although the ranking on the contribution list cannot fully prove a disciple’s loyalty to the sect, the loyalty of a disciple who is not even willing to contribute to the sect is definitely questionable.
However, Lu Changjing, who was on three lists in a row, also made Cai Chaoan's residence lively again, or it could be said that it was quite lively during this period, as other Heavenly Lords and Supremes would come to attack him from time to time.
After all, if Cai Chaoan had not cheated and sealed off the entire Nine Yang Elephant, preventing them from leaving, Lu Changjing might have already been their disciple instead of Cai Chaoan.
Now Lu Changjing's performance is getting better and better, which naturally makes the other five Heavenly Masters feel unwilling.
It has only been a few years since Lu Changjing joined Jiuyang Xiang, but he has already been on three lists in a row. Even if he has the excuse of being a reincarnated person, it is enough to prove Lu Changjing's excellence.
After the tenth day, the number of blood beasts began to decrease significantly, and it was obvious that the blood disaster was coming to an end.
Lu Changjing still did not rest, maintaining his vigorous energy, manipulating the wind, fire, thunder and wheel mysterious formations to continuously kill the blood beasts that swarmed in.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."
"Chi chi chi chi chi chi..."
……
Endless wind blades shot out from the Wind, Fire, Thunder Wheel Mysterious Array group continuously, landing on large groups of blood beasts, killing each blood beast one by one and turning them into contributions and resources.
In order to take care of the warriors who came to Laiyun Island, Lu Changjing did not go too far and deliberately left behind some blood beasts.
To Lu Changjing, this blood disaster, in which there were not even any blood beasts above level 40, was purely for the purpose of gaining contribution points and was basically not challenging at all.
After all, with his current strength, he can even kill blood beasts of around level 45, not to mention that these blood beasts, the strongest of which are only level 40, are assisted by a group of top-level mysterious formations.
Two days later, just when Lu Changjing thought that the blood disaster was about to end, he was surprised to find that the sound of a blood dragon whale was coming from the distant end of the sky.
"Roar……"
"Roar……"
"Roar……"
……
And it wasn't just one sound, but three in a row, coming from three different blood dragon whales. From the sound alone, one could tell that they were all blood dragon whales above level 40, comparable to warriors at the Earth Venerable level.
Lu Changjing frowned slightly. It was almost over, so how come three blood dragon whales suddenly appeared?
Generally speaking, if there are blood beasts above level 40 joining the blood disaster, most of them will appear in the early stage, occasionally in the middle stage, and basically will not appear at the end.
Moreover, before the small blood disaster occurred, Laiyun Island had already investigated the situation within millions of miles around it, and found that there were no blood beasts of this level joining in, otherwise Lu Changjing would not have been allowed to come here to make contributions.
Now, blood beasts above level 40 suddenly appear, and there are three of them at once. This can no longer be described as a mistake. They want to kill Lai Yundao.
After all, if they had known in advance that this small blood disaster would involve blood beasts above level 40, Laiyun Island would have made preparations in advance and dispatched warriors at the Earth Venerable level to deal with it.
However, it has been said before that there are no blood beasts above level 40, so there are no warriors at the Earth Venerable level. If Laiyun Island is destroyed as a result, those who investigate will be severely punished, and death is the lightest punishment.
"Island Master, this... this is not right. Before the blood disaster occurred, we had already gone deep into all the places in the surrounding seas and confirmed that there were no blood beasts above level 40. At least there are no blood beasts of this level within nearly a million kilometers of Laiyun Island."
"There must be something wrong. We have never neglected our duties. This concerns the life and death of the entire Laiyun Island, as well as the lives of our relatives and friends. How could we neglect our duties and not investigate this matter properly?"
"In order to confirm this matter, we investigated and killed hundreds of warriors, and did not miss a single place. This situation is definitely an accident. No, there may be something wrong here."
"Yes, even if we didn't investigate clearly and accidentally missed a blood beast above level 40, it is impossible for us to miss three."
……
The voices of the warriors responsible for investigating the blood disaster came from afar, which made Lu Changjing frown. He didn't believe that the investigating warriors from Laiyun Island would be so careless as to miss three blood beasts above level 40.
This is a matter of life and death for themselves and their relatives and friends. How could these reconnaissance warriors be so careless?
Moreover, the timing of the appearance of these three blood dragon whales above level 40 is also a bit strange. Even a fool would not believe it if you say there is no problem.
Is it possible that someone deliberately framed me?
Lu Changjing frowned, and the figure of Cao Mei immediately appeared in his mind. With the paranoia and viciousness of this crazy woman, she would definitely do such a thing.
But now is not the time to pursue this. Looking at the panicked warriors from Laiyun Island, Lu Changjing remained calm. He exerted the power of the Wind, Fire, Thunder Wheel Xuan Array Group to the extreme, preparing to meet the approaching three blood dragon whales.
"It's over, it's over. There are three blood dragon whales above level 40. Each one is comparable to the Earth Overlord. This time there are three of them at once. How can we resist them on Yun Island?"
"What were those scouting warriors doing? How did they make such a big mistake? If they had known that there were blood dragon whales in the blood disaster, they should have requested reinforcements earlier."
"What should we do now? Should we take our family and run for our lives? If we can, as many as possible will do."
"Have you forgotten Prince Lu? Previously, Prince Lu was able to use the Wind, Fire, Thunder Wheel Mysterious Array Group to drive Cao Mei away. This time, he may be able to defeat the three-headed blood dragon whale."
……
Soon, all eyes gathered towards the Island Master's Mansion. Everyone knew that under the current circumstances, if there was anyone who could resist the three blood dragon whales and protect the safety of everyone on Laiyun Island, it would only be Lu Changjing.
If Lu Changjing fails, the entire Laiyun Island will face a devastating disaster.
Facing the pairs of pleading eyes, Lu Changjing had a calm expression and said slowly, "Don't worry, the three blood dragon whales can't get in. You all retreat to a safe place, and leave these blood beasts to me."
Lu Changjing's words were like a shot of adrenaline, calming everyone down, and they all began to retreat as he said.
"Thank you, Prince Lu. If you can survive, our family will definitely offer you a longevity tablet."
"I thought Prince Lu was here to get some contribution, but I didn't expect Prince Lu to save us again."
"Quickly kowtow to Prince Lu and thank him for saving my life."
……
By using the ability of seeing through illusions, he has detected the strength of the three blood dragon whales. The strongest is level 43, comparable to a three-star Earth Lord, and the weakest is also level 42, or one is three stars and two are two stars.
The leading level 43 blood dragon whale was nearly 30,000 meters long, spewing out waves and coming in an overwhelming manner.
The other two were also nearly 20,000 meters long. They followed behind the level 43 blood dragon whale, and rolled up a tsunami that was hundreds of meters high, so vast that it covered the sky and the sun.
"Roar..." Even though they were hundreds of miles apart, they had already naturally manipulated the power of heaven and earth, forming waves as big as mountains, which were smashing down towards Laiyun Island.
Although the waves look soft, they are actually much harder than steel and can easily crush most Xuanzuns into powder.
"Wind, Fire, Thunder Wheel!"
Lu Changjing did not dare to be careless. The top-level Xuan formation group under his feet burst out with the strongest power, forming a wind, fire and thunder wheel tens of thousands of meters long, rushing towards the dark waves.
"Chi chi chi chi chi chi..."
When the Wind, Fire and Thunder Wheel collided with the mountain-like waves, a strange sound was made, cutting the waves into pieces and scattering them all over the sky.
The seemingly soft waves were actually like pieces of iron and stone, being cut off by the wind, fire and thunder wheel with a clanging sound.
By the time the Wind, Fire, Thunder Wheel disappeared, there were not many waves left, and they hit the formation light shield heavily, but had no other effect except making it flicker a few times.
"Roar……"
Seeing that the attack was ineffective, the three blood dragon whales roared and pounced towards Laiyun Island again.
With the hurricane and rolling waves, the entire Laiyun Island seemed to have fallen into the end of the world and was surrounded by layers of sea water.
The three blood dragon whales were like world-destroying demons, roaming across the sea and crashing down with a loud bang.
"Wind, Fire, Thunder Wheel!"
Wheels of wind, fire, and thunder rolled up and blocked the three blood dragon whales, making a deafening roar after the collision.
Lightning snakes danced wildly, flames rose, and strong winds raged, falling on the three blood dragon whales, continuously weakening their strength.
The spiritual stones and black stones from Laiyun Island are being consumed at a terrifying rate, far exceeding before.
Ordinary attacks could not do anything to the three blood dragon whales. The power of the wind, fire, thunder and wheel formations had to be exerted to the extreme, and with the assistance of the earth talismans released by Lu Changjing, the attacks of the three blood dragon whales could be stopped.
"Boom..."
Even so, the attacks of the three blood dragon whales would occasionally shatter various obstacles and fall on the light curtain of the formation formed by the wind, fire, thunder and wheel mysterious formation group, causing the thick light curtain to flicker continuously and even shake violently, as if it could collapse at any time.
"Dragon Emperor Bell!"
“Heart power!”
……
Without daring to reveal his magical powers, Lu Changjing could only quietly mobilize his mental strength to mobilize the power of the Dragon Emperor Bell, thereby influencing the judgment of the three blood dragon whales.
His extremely powerful spirit and willpower were also exerted to the extreme. Without relying on any magical powers, he managed to stop the three blood dragon whales and even gained the upper hand.
Mental strength and the Dragon Emperor Bell worked wonders when dealing with the blood beast driven by the chaotic will. Even though its level was not as high as the Blood Dragon Whale, it still aroused its chaotic will, making it even more confused, and even causing its attacks to fail one after another.
Seeing Lu Changjing not only stopping the three blood dragon whales but even suppressing them, countless human beings on Laiyun Island were dumbfounded, and Zhou Zhi was also confused.
It's just a top-level mysterious formation, but the power it exerted in the hands of Prince Lu is too great, isn't it? It's a bit exaggerated, it always feels unbelievable.
Or maybe Prince Lu used some trump card to weaken the power of the Blood Dragon Whale, otherwise how could it be so strong.
Those were three blood dragon whales above level 41, each with the combat power of a Earth Overlord. Yet they were suppressed by Lu Changjing with the help of the Wind, Fire, Thunder Wheel Mysterious Array. It was simply a fantasy.
Twenty-one times the spirit and mental strength of warriors of the same level, the Dragon Emperor Bell, the Wind, Fire and Thunder Wheel Mysterious Array, various combat skills and secret techniques... Lu Changjing's attack power has reached the level of Earth Venerable without activating any of his major or minor magical powers.
With the mental strength to restrain the blood beasts and the Dragon King Bell, he was able to suppress the three blood dragon whales and began to gain the upper hand little by little.
"Roar……"
"Boom..."
"Chichichi..."
……
As far as the eye can see, Laiyun Island has been covered by overwhelming sea water. The Wind, Fire and Thunder Wheel is raging in the sea water, resisting the waves of attacks from the Blood Dragon Whales.
While Lu Changjing was controlling the mysterious formation group, his figure would disappear from time to time and fall into the sea, attacking the three blood dragon whales with the Dragon Emperor Bell and his mental power.
The Dragon-Tiger Sword in his hand has reached the level of a ground weapon and is fully capable of breaking through the defenses of the Blood Dragon Whales. From time to time, it would stab into the bodies of the three Blood Dragon Whales, continuously weakening their strength.
Without ever using his Big and Small Ruyi skills, Lu Changjing had already exerted his fighting power to the extreme. With the cultivation level of a six-star Xuanzun, he managed to block three blood dragon whales that were comparable to Earth Zun.
Nine Dragon Sword Technique, Nine Dragon Fingers, Nine Dragon Steps, Nine Dragon Tribulation...all kinds of combat skills, secret techniques, and skills were displayed one after another, and Lu Changjing fought to his heart's content.
However, he knew in his heart that if he was not facing a Blood Dragon Whale that was restrained by its mental power and the Dragon Emperor Bell, or a Blood Dragon Whale that was in a state of confusion, he would definitely not be able to defeat it without the help of his major and minor Ruyi magical powers.
Not to mention gaining the upper hand, he couldn't even put up a fight and would only be severely suppressed. Eventually, his mysterious formations were broken through, and he could only escape with the help of the Earth Talisman given by his master.
Yes, Lu Changjing still has a lot of earth talismans given by Cai Chaoan, which can be regarded as his trump card.
He originally wanted to use it, after all, he didn't dare to use his big and small Ruyi magical powers now. This was one of his hidden trump cards.
However, he did not expect that the combination of mental strength and the Dragon King Bell would have an unexpectedly good effect, making the three blood dragon whales dizzy and almost unable to do anything but passively take the beating.
In this situation, as long as Lu Changjing can break through the defense, he will definitely win this time.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."
This time, it was no longer the wind blades that attacked, but the figure of Lu Changjing.
Holding the Dragon-Tiger Sword and stepping on the Nine Dragon Steps, he shuttled in and out of the Wind, Fire, Thunder Wheel Mysterious Array, cutting the blood dragon whales into pieces at an astonishing speed.
The three blood dragon whales were weakening at a speed visible to the naked eye. Although they roared angrily from time to time, they were completely helpless.
Although the warriors on Laiyun Island could not see the specific battle situation, they could hear the wailing of the three blood dragon whales. They were dumbfounded and almost thought they were dreaming.
I thought I was doomed this time, but I didn't expect that Lu Changjing could not only turn the tide, but also showed signs of killing three blood dragon whales. Didn't he chase them away?
In just a few hours, the three blood dragon whales were already covered in wounds and were about to die under the Dragon and Tiger Swords. But at this moment, Lu Changjing suddenly became alert.
The danger perception characteristic begins to give a warning, but the warning is so small that it is almost imperceptible.
Along with the warning, a figure suddenly approached from thousands of miles away and attacked Lu Changjing who had just left the Wind, Fire, Thunder Wheel Xuan Array Group.
