Chapter 203: Chapter 203
Not long after, Zhao Letian caught up with the two masked men. Using his War Dragon Arm, he slew them all and took all the items they carried.
However, after killing the two men, there was no hint of joy on Zhao Letian's face; instead, his brows were tightly furrowed as he directly boarded the Cloud Piercing Boat, speeding towards the Baihua Tribe with astonishing velocity.
Before their deaths, the two had divulged a piece of news—currently, the Black Hawk Tribe, along with the tribe behind Ji Manli, as well as the tribes behind the young men he had killed that day, had unexpectedly banded together, launching a joint offensive against the Baihua Tribe.
The Black Hawk Tribe demanded only Cailian, while the other tribes sought to exterminate every single person in the Baihua Tribe in order to vent their fury.
"With the Earth Evil Demon Destruction Formation in place, as long as Cailian and the others stay within the tribe, there shouldn't be too much of a problem."
Zhao Letian stood at the prow of the boat with his hands clasped behind his back, musing to himself, and at the same time, he took out other Puppet parts from his storage ring, and started assembling them right there on the Cloud Piercing Boat.
"Click! Click! Click!..."
A series of sounds rang out as Puppet parts were being pieced together, and behind Zhao Letian, two huge Human-shaped Puppets, each over ten feet tall, were rapidly constructed.
These two Puppets were pitch black, flickering with a cold metallic luster, their contours smooth, and muscles robust. Save for the seams between parts, at a cursory glance, they did not look much different from real people.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..."
After the Puppets were assembled, Zhao Letian waved his hand, injecting a hundred Mid-Grade Essence Stones into each of the two Puppets.
Instantly, the two Puppets almost simultaneously emitted a buzzing sound, and then, from their empty, lifeless eyes, a blinding light shone forth. Concurrently, the seams between the parts swiftly sealed up, making them appear fully like living beings, emanating powerful fluctuations of Primordial Energy that made one's heart tremble.
"Not bad, their aura is even stronger than many in the True Martial Seventh Realm, and with the sturdy constitution of Puppet bodies, they're well-matched to fight against those in the True Martial Eighth Realm."
Zhao Letian sized up the two silent Puppets that stood like black iron towers, nodding his head in satisfaction. Then with a wave of his hand, he stored them back in the Storage Ring.
Over the Baihua Tribe, a grey light shield of the Earth Evil Demon Destruction Formation enveloped the entire territory.
Inside the Array Formation Light Shield, Mu Lang, together with all the men, women, elderly, and children of the tribe, totaling over a thousand, had gathered together, all armed and with solemn expressions on their faces.
Outside the Array Formation Light Shield, the allied forces of the Black Hawk Tribe and other tribes, numbering in the tens of thousands, were a dark mass that enveloped the entire Baihua Tribe. However, they did not rush to attack; instead, their brows were furrowed as they scrutinized the light shield. The Array Formation Light Shield was radiating a very potent aura, and penetrating it was anything but easy.
"A mere minor tribe has managed to deploy such a formidable Array; it seems we have underestimated the Baihua Tribe."
Above the army of the Black Hawk Tribe, a burly middle-aged man dressed in a black feathered war robe stood atop an enormous black eagle, looking down at the Array Formation Light Shield below and frowning.
"Hmph, a minor tribe like Baihua could not have set up such a powerful Array on its own, but within their tribe, there is a suspected young genius from a super tribe. This Array is very likely to have been arranged by that junior genius."
Not far aside, a man in a brown robe, standing on a small warship, scoffed disdainfully.
"A young genius from a super tribe? Jierhan, why didn't you inform me of such critical intelligence earlier?"
The man atop the black eagle's face darkened as he expressed his dissatisfaction.
"Wu Kui, even if I had told you, would your Black Hawk Tribe have given up on this expedition?"
Jierhan, the man in the brown robe, spoke unconcerned. He was none other than Ji Manli's father, here to avenge his daughter.
"Of course not. I don't care about the others; do with them what you will, but Cailian must be given to me."
Beside Wu Kui, Wusu'er also stood on a black eagle, his voice grave.
"You hear that? Even if you wanted to give up, your son wouldn't."
"Now that we are all here, talking about this is already too late. I am just worried that with that genius from a super tribe present, this battle will likely bring us a lot of trouble."
The leader of the Black Hawk Tribe, Wu Kui, said with a frown.
"Rest assured, someone is already taking care of that genius from the super tribe. As long as we break through this Array Formation Light Shield, the people of the Baihua Tribe will have no choice but to let us slaughter them."
Jierhan said with a cold smile.
"Oh? Jierhan, you dare to move against the genius of a super tribe? Wu is impressed."
Wu Kui said with a gleam in his eyes.
"Brother Wu, don't talk nonsense. The strong members of my Green Lion Tribe are all here; how could we possibly make a move against that genius from the super tribe? Forget all that useless chatter. The pressing matter at hand is that we need to find a way to break through this Array Formation Light Shield."
Jierhan, the leader of the Green Lion Tribe, said, shaking his head.
"Alright, let's try a forceful attack first. Everyone, act together, let's see if we can break through this Array with brute force."
"Everyone, follow my command and move."
The next moment, Wu Kui gave a deep shout, and the army of over ten thousand simultaneously attacked the light shield of the Earth Evil Demon Destruction Formation.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
For a moment, all kinds of attacks, like shooting stars, crossed the sky with spectacular trajectory, engulfing it in a massive onslaught.
Seeing this, Cailian and her father, along with the people of the Baihua Tribe, were all shocked, their hearts immediately tensed, silently praying that the Array Formation Light Shield would hold. Otherwise, the mere one thousand plus members of the Baihua Tribe wouldn't stand a chance against the tens of thousands of enemy soldiers outside.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!..."
Following that, attacks bombarded the Array Formation Light Shield, blooming like fireworks and releasing waves of energy, causing the light shield to shake violently, flickering like a candle in the wind, as if it could break at any moment.
"No good, this Array doesn't seem to be holding up."
Mu Lang's brow furrowed, his palms drenched in sweat.
"Dad, we have to believe in Zilong."
Cailian, on the other hand, was relatively calm. She had unwavering faith in Zhao Letian because, in her eyes, Zhao Letian was the savior sent by the holy spirits.
Sure enough, although the light shield of the Earth Evil Demon Destruction Formation was shaking intensely it ultimately withstood all the attacks unscathed. Moreover, the gray air currents above the light shield even became denser, swirling rapidly, and emitting a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.
"Not good, retreat quickly."
Wu Kui, upon the Black Hawk, seemed to sense something amiss and hurriedly shouted, retreating.
Following close behind, Jierhan's face also turned pale, and he quickly retreated.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!..."
Almost simultaneously, the gray air streams above the Earth Evil Demon Destruction Formation, after a swift circulation, suddenly transformed into fine streams of air and burst out, attacking the vast army of tens of thousands like a torrential downpour, covering the sky and hitting everywhere around.
