"How can this be?"
The fiery spirit hairpin might seem like just a hairpin, but in the hands of Yan Lingji, the Baiyue witch, it could unleash incredibly terrifying power.
This wooden dragon was clearly just ordinary wood manipulated by Yinyang Family techniques. Yet, Yan Lingji's flames were completely ineffective against this mere piece of wood.
"Yan Lingji!!!" Seeing the wooden dragon getting closer and closer to him, and when Tian Ze tried to attack the wooden dragon with his snake-head bone chains, the powerful recoil almost made him lose control of the chains.
The crisis was imminent, yet Yan Lingji's attack was like a mere tickle; her usually invincible flames were completely ineffective against a piece of wood.
In Yan Lingji's heart, she truly had done her best at this moment. Under normal circumstances, the terrifying flames from the fiery spirit hairpin would be enough to burn three pieces of wood as large as the wooden dragon to ashes. However, this wooden dragon, manipulated by Ying An, could continuously repair itself.
The speed of the fiery spirit hairpin's burning was completely unable to overcome the wooden dragon's self-growth and repair.
This led to the effect that, at first glance, it seemed as if Yan Lingji was not putting in her full effort.
Tian Ze was instantly enraged.
"Master..." Yan Lingji explained with a wronged expression, "This wooden dragon is strange. The Yinyang Family techniques of the Central Plains can continuously repair it. My flames simply cannot destroy this wooden dragon in a short amount of time!"
Tian Ze leaped up, avoiding another charging attack from the wooden dragon while also leading the wooden dragon in front of Yan Lingji.
"Fire counters wood. Your abilities are enough to contend with this wooden dragon. I'll leave this to you. I'm going to kill the Yinyang Family disciple in the carriage!"
After directly throwing the danger to Yan Lingji, Tian Ze gave Yan Lingji no time to react. His body moved like lightning, making several turns to bypass the wooden dragon's front and once again charging towards the carriage.
Poor Yan Lingji was directly treated by Tian Ze as a pawn to hold back the wooden dragon.
Even so, after feeling wronged, Yan Lingji still dared not disobey in the slightest and carried out Tian Ze's orders.
The wooden dragon, created by Ying An using Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Stream, was almost as strong as refined steel due to his powerful Ghost Immortal Realm divine soul.
Yan Lingji, apart from her flames being able to cause a slight obstruction to the wooden dragon, could almost die at any moment under the wooden dragon's claws.
Fortunately, even from a distance, Ying An's divine soul power could still clearly observe the situation on Yan Lingji's side. Since he had no intention of killing Yan Lingji, he naturally wouldn't lay a murderous hand on this gentle and passionate young woman.
On Tian Ze's side, after pushing Yan Lingji out to hold back the wooden dragon, he once again rushed towards the carriage, realizing that this enemy was truly thorny.
"Bai Du Wang, use your poison to seal off the surroundings. Don't let the people of Han rush in. Qu Shi Mo, control your corpses and destroy the carriage for me at all costs! Wu Shuang Gui, go help Yan Lingji and hold back that strange wooden dragon!"
Although Tian Ze was the former crown prince of Baiyue, his ability to be followed faithfully by the extraordinary individuals of Baiyue, such as Yan Lingji, Qu Shi Mo, Bai Du Wang, and Wu Shuang Gui, showed that he possessed considerable leadership qualities. His current commands truly demonstrated this point.
If one disregarded the anomalous existence of Ying An, his commands almost maximized the capabilities of the Baiyue Celestial Group.
Using Bai Du Wang's poison to seal off the surroundings would cut off Han's aid to the Qin Army delegation. While those martial artists with strong internal energy might temporarily resist Bai Du Wang's poison, ordinary soldiers clearly lacked this ability.
Qu Shi Mo controlling the corpses to charge the carriage was entirely using the corpses as human shields. This could guard against unexpected methods from the Qin Army delegation, whose true strength was unknown, inside the carriage.
Wu Shuang Gui's physical body was naturally strong, even able to withstand Wei Zhuang's Shark Tooth Sword. One must know that while the Shark Tooth Sword was not listed in the Feng Hu Zi Sword Manual, it was because the Shark Tooth Sword was too sinister, not for any other reason!
In terms of pure power, the Shark Tooth Sword was not inferior to any of the top ten famous swords in the sword manual. Even the Abyss Rainbow Sword, ranked second in the sword manual, which Gai Nie would wield in the future, was broken by the Shark Tooth Sword, showing just how sturdy and sharp the Shark Tooth Sword was.
Wu Shuang Gui's physical body was so strong that he could allow Wei Zhuang to attack him with the Shark Tooth Sword in various ways without suffering any harm.
It can be said that within the Baiyue Celestial Group, Wu Shuang Gui combined with Yan Lingji brought out the full extent of their counter-abilities against the wooden dragon.
Under Tian Ze's command, the Baiyue Celestial Group, who were loyal to him, would act without any hesitation.
In an instant, Bai Du Wang's poisons had already scattered all around, and the astonishingly toxic mist spread, completely enveloping the Qin Army delegation.
One after another, tattered and stiff-moving corpses, propelled by Qu Shi Mo, lumbered but moved swiftly towards the carriage where Ying An was located.
This sudden turn of events immediately startled Li Si and many Qin Army elite soldiers.
Li Si's eyes were bloodshot, and he angrily said, "Quick! Block these damned corpses! They must not be allowed to collide with the Young Master!"
At this moment, Li Si no longer cared about finding the mastermind. The methods of the Baiyue Celestial Group were truly horrifying. While Bai Du Wang's ability to control poisons was one thing, Qu Shi Mo's ability to control corpses truly subverted their worldview.
Inside the carriage, Ying An, while controlling the wooden dragon, playfully launched what could be called teasing rather than attacking offensives against Yan Lingji.
At the same time, Ying An couldn't help but show a hint of unexpected surprise at how quickly Tian Ze had put aside his pride and dispatched the entire Baiyue Celestial Group to attack the delegation.
Tian Ze, imprisoned for more than ten years, had indeed become extreme in his thinking. However, his ability to become the former crown prince of Baiyue and even command Baiyue soldiers on the battlefield to contend against Chu and Han showed that his wisdom should not be underestimated.
"Young Master!" Feeling that the wooden dragon controlled by Ying An had been lured away, Jing Ni couldn't help but tighten her grip on the hilt of her jing ni sword, looking ready to strike at any moment.
Ying An, however, smiled slightly and said, "No worries, these people are merely clowns to me. Besides, I am only testing whether the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Stream is as I imagined!"
The moment his words fell, the hand seal in Ying An's hand changed again.
This time, the hand seal Ying An formed caused the Black and White Shao Siming's expressions to instantly change dramatically.
If Ying An's previous hand seal was based on the Yinyang art of plant growth, with some self-understood variations that didn't consume much spiritual energy, making it difficult for the Black and White Shao Siming to judge.
Then, the hand seal he was forming now was precisely what the Black and White Shao Siming were most familiar with.
Because this was clearly the most powerful technique of the Ten Thousand Leaves Flying Flower Stream, and also the one that consumed the most spiritual energy!
"Young Master!!" the Black and White Sisters exclaimed in unison, their pretty faces filled with worry.
