Chapter 579: Chapter 242: Holding the Moon with One Hand, Slaying the Enemy in a Single Strike

"Ugh!"

Sun Haoyi, who was in charge of maintaining the Array, let out a muffled grunt. She felt a metallic, sweet taste rise in her throat, but she forced it back down.

This sudden battle had already lasted for an hour, and the Defense Array was on the verge of collapse.

At such a critical moment, she knew she absolutely could not show any sign of weakness.

This was both to deceive the enemy and to keep her second brother from being distracted.

"Cyan Rainbow Sword Aura, slash!"

Sun Haoran stood within the Array, having poured nearly all his True Essence into his Flying Sword.

The moment the battle began, he had activated his Spirit Ascension Form, attempting to intimidate the attacking enemies.

But however brilliant his Sword Light was, the enemy had deployed four Spirit Shields that pressed forward, blocking every one of his attacks.

After all this time, he hadn’t even managed to injure them; he couldn’t even get close.

In most cases, when Cultivators of the same level engaged in Magical Combat, a two-to-one numerical disadvantage resulted in an overwhelming difference in Combat Power.

If it weren’t for the Spirit Ship they had for support, they would have probably been fed to the Sea Fish by now.

Sun Haoran turned his head and glanced at his third sister.

Although she was gritting her teeth and making no sound, her cheeks looked exceptionally pale against the dark of the night.

Moreover, the chaotic aura she couldn’t control around her had already revealed that her condition was far from good.

A glance at his fifth brother revealed an equally dire situation.

It was his first formal Life and Death battle, and he was so nervous his movements were clumsy.

Although he was protected by the Defense Array and was clearly starting to adapt to the fight, such progress was clearly coming too late and was doing nothing to help their overall situation.

Defeat was inevitable. It was time to think about breaking out.

.

"It won’t be long before the Compassion Sea is thrown into turmoil."

"We can’t hide any longer. We must seize this opportunity and fight for a future for our family."

Sun Haoran had never forgotten the old master’s assessment of the situation during the clan assembly.

’Things have come to this... I have to at least get the family’s Secret Technique and the news that the Wang Family made a move back home.’

At this thought, he reached out, took out a special Golden Talisman, and handed it to his side. "Fifth Brother, take this. In a moment, I’ll count down from three, and we’ll charge out together."

"I’ll create an opening for you. Seize the chance, activate the Golden Talisman, and leave immediately."

Sun Haize was struggling to control his Flying Sword to attack, trying to relieve some of the pressure.

Hearing this, he couldn’t help but freeze. "Second Brother, if you give me the Light-Stealing Golden Talisman, what about you and Third Sister?"

Sun Haoran’s hands moved through a Sword Technique as he kept his tone as steady as possible. "Fifth Brother, focus on your mission. Take the Secret Technique back."

"Don’t think about anything else right now."

"Repeat what I just said."

Images from the storybooks and biographies he had secretly read in the family’s Scripture Pavilion flashed through Sun Haize’s mind.

He gritted his teeth and decided to be a hero for once. "Second Brother, I’ll create the opportunity for you."

"Your Cultivation is higher than mine. You have a better chance of getting away."

A trace of relief flashed in Sun Haoran’s eyes, but his words were merciless. "Don’t you fucking argue with me right now. I don’t have time for you to waste."

"Wang Ruiyang is here for me. Only if I stay behind can we keep him tied down."

"Take the Golden Talisman and watch my lead."

Sun Haize’s eyes immediately reddened, but he couldn’t speak. He silently took the Golden Talisman.

A Divine Sense transmission sounded in his ear.

"Three. Don’t be nervous."

Sun Haize gritted his teeth and began to gather his True Essence, but his mind felt empty. He just couldn’t understand how things had come to this.

"Two. Get ready."

Sun Haize summoned a Spirit Shield to protect himself, preparing to charge out with his second brother.

In that moment, he felt as if time itself was stretching out.

Even the sounds of Magic bombarding the Defensive Array seemed to fade into the distance.

...

Huh?

But the final ’one’ seemed to get stuck; several breaths passed, and it never came.

Sun Haize looked up to see his second brother staring towards the West in astonishment.

Even the Wang Family Cultivators outside had actually stopped what they were doing.

’What happened?’

He hastily turned his head and looked to the west.

There, under the pitch-black night sky, where the sea met the horizon, hung a lustrous white, bright moon, practically floating just above the ocean’s surface.

’Did the moon fall from the sky?’

The absurd thought flashed through Sun Haize’s mind, but an instant later, he realized something was wrong.

That moon was clearly moving, and it was getting closer to them!

Sun Haize’s eyes widened as he watched the distant Crystal Moon Wheel come into focus, especially the slender figure beneath it who was striding over the waves.

The figure was dressed in a Feather Robe whiter than snow, holding the massive, bright moon in one hand as he sped across the sea’s surface.

The pure, flowing light illuminated his form, and the evening wind caused his robes to flutter, making him look almost like an Exiled Immortal descending to the mortal world.

He wasn’t the only one stunned by the sight.

Across from them, Wang Ruiyang and the surrounding Cultivators were also dumbfounded, unable to make sense of the situation.

This was the northwestern corner of the Compassion Sea, an exceptionally remote area.

’Could we have run into some reclusive old monster?’

The newcomer was none other than Xiao Chen, returning with his Crystal Moon Wheel. He had come this way before, so naturally, he took the same path back.

To be honest, even he hadn’t expected this Witchcraft Artifact to be so bright.

Tonight, the sky was filled with dark clouds obscuring the moon, with only the faintest moonlight scattering through.

Yet the Crystal Moon Wheel in his hand was completely unaffected, continuing to radiate an exceptionally brilliant light.
