Book 5: Chapter 115: Li Shenji’s Miscalculation

While Gu Hai fought the Supreme Ascendant Dao experts, Li Shenji was already hiding in the distance with the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples.

“The ‘Song of Noble Spirit’? Gu Hai could really bear to do that?” a Divine Strategy Battalion disciple said in shock.

“Of course, he could bear to. He would have to forget about leaving today if he did not,” Li Shenji said with slightly narrowed eyes.

“Battalion Commander, can those Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples do it?”

“Them? In this generation of the Supreme Ascendant Dao, aside from Xuan Du and the Grand Mohist, the rest are not worth mentioning. Xuan En? He is just a lackey!” Li Shenji said with slightly narrowed eyes.

“Ah? Look, an elder died! Gu Hai is truly ruthless!”

Everyone stared at the distant scene, watching Gu Hai start a massacre.

“We can’t wait anymore. If we let him grow further, we can no longer kill Gu Hai. Today is the day he dies!” Li Shenji’s eyes turned cold.

Rumble…!

Rumbling sounds came from the distance as Gu Hai carried out his massacre. In the end, Gu Hai swung his saber at the Grand Mohist but stopped.

“It ended?”

“Gu Hai did not kill the Grand Mohist?”

“Look at their horrified expressions. How embarrassing!”

The Divine Strategy Battalion disciples criticized the horrified Supreme Ascendant Dao disciples pleading for mercy. Eventually, Gu Hai spared them, and they fled with the Grand Mohist.

At this moment, Li Shenji took out a golden bow.

“Battalion Commander, are you making your move now?” a subordinate asked in shock.

“That’s right. The Supreme Ascendant Dao? Hah! Bunch of trash. In the end, I have to take action myself!” Li Shenji said with cold eyes.

“But…but…”

“Don’t worry. The Fourth Cycle that Gu Hai sent out earlier is not comparable to what I can do,” Li Shenji said coldly.

“However, Milord, why not wait? Gu Hai can maintain the strength from ripping the ‘Song of Noble Spirit’ for only a while. He will weaken soon. Wouldn’t it be better to take action then?” a subordinate asked in confusion.

“After the effects of the ‘Song of Noble Spirit’ are over, Gu Hai would still have the Classic of the Dao and Virtue. By then, the danger would be greater. He has only just used the ‘Song of Noble Spirit’ and is currently cocky about it. He would think that he wouldn’t need the Classic of the Dao and Virtue to deal with problems, so he would be reluctant to use it. If I don’t make my move now, when would be the time?” Li Shenji countered coldly.

As he spoke, the bow in his hand shone with dazzling golden light. Vast energy poured into his arrow before he released it.

Whizz!

When the arrow left the bow, it immediately turned into a meteor shooting at Gu Hai.

Just then, an Elite Hall disciple on the distant flying ship noticed the arrow.

“Battalion Commander, look!” that Elite Hall disciple exclaimed.

Mu Chenfeng’s expression suddenly changed. He did not hesitate to take out the Heaven Blasting Cannon.

“Fire!”

A Heaven Blasting Lightning shot out, flying past Gu Hai into the distance.

Boom!

The powerful impact kicked up a violent windstorm in the distance. While the Heaven Blasting Lightning failed to destroy Li Shenji’s arrow, it had weakened it to the point where Gu Hai could destroy it with one saber qi.

“Li Shenji? Hah! You finally could not bear it any longer!” Gu Hai said with a cold smile.

Li Shenji looked coldly at Gu Hai across the great distance. Gu Hai looked back coldly.

“Gu Hai, you are very lucky!” Li Shenji said while revealing a cold smile.

“You—Li Shenji—keep seeking death!” Gu Hai said with a cold expression.

“Hahahahahaha! Seeking death? Gu Hai, do you really think you are unrivaled in the world?” Li Shenji laughed coldly.

“We did not say that we are unrivaled. However, we are sufficient to deal with you, Li Shenji. Hah! We initially had some expectations of you and were preparing to subdue and take in your Divine Strategy Battalion. It looks like that is no longer necessary,” Gu Hai said coldly.

“Subdue the Divine Strategy Battalion?” Li Shenji revealed some disdain.

“Although you have schemed to harm us several times, you are quite capable. Unfortunately, you did not put your capabilities to good use, sneak-attacking people. In the end, you just take shortcuts. You must be taking revenge for your son, Li Haoran, right?” Gu Hai said with his eyes narrowed.

“Huh?” Li Shenji glared.

Li Haoran is my nephew; everyone in the world knows that. How does Gu Hai know that Li Haoran is actually my son?

“Your grudge never got resolved, and you are incredibly determined. Hah! Even if you had submitted to me, you would still have been full of malicious thoughts. Someone of your determined schemes would not be worth risking the people around us. Furthermore, you are not worthy of us valuing you so much,” Gu Hai said coldly.

Li Shenji sneered at Gu Hai. “I’m not worthy? Hah! Gu Hai, what bold words! Do you think you can leave alive today?”

“You were in such a rush to make your move that you did not care about getting exposed. You must be worried that Long Zhanguo gave me a mission, right? Those who are ignorant are not guilty? Everything would be over after you killed me? Hahahaha! Li Shenji, you are pretty good with minor plots. However, you cannot see the grand scheme of things. There are some people whom you should not offend,” Gu Hai said coldly.

“So what if I offend you? Gu Hai, do you still think you have control over everything?” Li Shenji glared and shouted, “Divine Strategy Ritual Array!”

“Hah!”

The Divine Strategy Battalion disciples immediately stood in formation, each holding up an azure bow.

Buzz!

A huge azure bow manifested in the air, with a huge azure energy arrow nocked on it. Even from a distance, its powerful aura was palpable.

“The Divine Strategy Ritual Array? The ritual array that allowed the Divine Strategy Battalion to sweep its way through the world. Combining the powers of everyone in the battalion to shoot a powerful arrow? Hah! What fame it has!” Gu Hai said coldly.

The azure energy arrow pointed at the flying ship behind Gu Hai. Even from afar, an intense murderous intent pressed over.

However, Li Shenji raised his golden bow and gently drew it, locking a golden arrow on Gu Hai.

“It’s too late for you to realize that. No one will leave today. Gu Hai, tell me, can you still protect the flying ship with this arrow pointing at you?” Li Shenji smiled coldly.

“Heaven Blasting Cannon, aim at the azure arrow!” Gu Hai said coldly.

“Hahahahahaha! You have used your last Heaven Blasting Lightning. Are you trying to trick me? Fire!” Li Shenji glared.

Whizz! Whizz!

The azure arrow and the golden arrow immediately turned into two meteors shooting at the flying ship and Gu Hai.

“Fourth Cycle!” Gu Hai glared and swung his saber.

“Humph! While you can protect yourself, can you protect the others?” Li Shenji sneered.

“Fire!” Mu Chenfeng shouted.

The Heaven Blasting Cannon shot out a Heaven Blasting Lightning.

Boom! Boom!

Gu Hai shattered the golden arrow with a saber strike. The Heaven Blasting Lightning exploded the azure arrow into fragments, sending out a powerful shock wave.

The two arrows shattered.

“What?” the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples exclaimed.

“Weren’t there only ten Heaven Blasting Lightnings? Why is there more?” Li Shenji said in shock while glaring.

“Li Shenji, isn’t there no information that your Divine Strategy Battalion cannot get its hands on? To think that you didn’t know that?” Gu Hai showed a cold expression.

“How can there be more? Humph! So what if there is more? Even if there is more, you will still die! Divine Strategy Battalion, Stars Falling Like Feathers!” Li Shenji’s expression changed.

“Yes!” the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples shouted.

Buzz!

The azure bow drew back again and accumulated energy, manifesting nine large arrows. The moment the arrows appeared, an intense murderous intent swept out again.

Then, Li Shenji pointed a golden arrow at Gu Hai once more.

“Indeed. I got careless. To think you still have more Heaven Blasting Lightnings. However, what about the Heaven Blasting Cannon? You only have one. Let’s see how you deal with my Stars Falling Like Feathers!” Li Shenji glared.

“Heaven Blasting Battalion!” Mu Chenfeng shouted coldly.

“Yes!” the Elite Hall disciples immediately shouted.

Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak! Creak!

The Elite Hall disciples set up another seventeen Heaven Blasting Cannons on the flying ship’s deck.

Ten Heaven Blasting Cannons pointed at the Divine Strategy Battalion, and the other eight pointed at Li Shenji.

“Eighteen? That’s impossible! They must be fake! Fire the arrows! Stars Falling Like Feathers!” Li Shenji shouted.

Boom!

Nine azure arrows and one golden arrow shot towards Gu Hai and the flying ship.

“Fire!” Mu Chenfeng shouted.

Boom!

Eighteen Heaven Blasting Lightnings shot at the arrows.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Nine azure arrows collided with nine Heaven Blasting Lightnings and exploded.

Two Heaven Blasting Lightnings destroyed the golden arrow.

Surging windstorms kicked up.

The remaining seven Heaven Blasting Lightnings turned into meteors, streaking towards the Divine Strategy Battalion’s flying ship.

“Oh no!” Li Shenji’s expression changed.

He quickly drew his bow and shot five golden arrows simultaneously.

Boom!

These arrows clashed with the Heaven Blasting Lightnings, blocking five. However, there were two left.

One shot towards Li Shenji and the other towards the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples.

“You bastard!” Li Shenji’s expression changed as he swung his bow.

One Heaven Blasting Lightning immediately exploded while the other continued towards the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples.

Boom!

“Save me!”

“Argh!”

A string of screams rang out, and the Divine Strategy Ritual Array exploded. Many Divine Strategy Battalion disciples were blasted into the sky, turning into a rain of blood splattering everywhere.

Countless Divine Strategy Battalion disciples suffered death or injuries, letting out miserable cries.

Li Shenji’s expression changed dramatically.

“It looks like your Divine Strategy Battalion is not even comparable to our Heaven Blasting Battalion!” Gu Hai sneered.

“Eighteen? And they are all real? Gu Hai, how could you have them?” Li Shenji exclaimed.

Gu Hai simply ignored him. Instead, he looked at the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples and ordered coldly, “Heaven Blasting Battalion, continue. Spare no one. Kill them all.”

“Yes!” Mu Chenfeng shouted.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The Heaven Blasting Cannons belched again. The Heaven Blasting Lightnings seemed like the grim reaper as they shot at the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples.

Li Shenji tried to block the Heaven Blasting Lightnings, but there were too many. Even with Li Shenji attacking the Heaven Blasting Lightnings with his full power, many Divine Strategy Battalion disciples still got blasted.

“Argh!”

“Argh!”

“Argh!”

Shrieks rang out as many Divine Strategy Battalion disciples died or suffered injuries.

“Gu Hai, how dare you?!” Li Shenji glared as he charged towards Gu Hai.

Li Shenji understood that all his subordinates would be done for if this continued. He could rescue the Divine Strategy Battalion disciples only by killing Gu Hai or destroying the Heaven Blasting Cannons.

“The Divine Strategy Battalion wanted to kill us earlier. Death is your retribution. It serves you right!” Gu Hai glared and stepped towards Li Shenji.

“Mu Chenfeng, kill them!” Gu Hai said coldly as he charged at Li Shenji.

“Yes!” Mu Chenfeng answered with a shout.

“Boom!” Many Heaven Blasting Lightnings shot into the distance.
