Chapter 45 - Pawn No More, Formulating Ones Dao! (2/2)
He kept walking slowly towards the gates, his eyes calm, and aura surging outwards. Trying to bully him with numbers? Foolish.
After that, the Essence Formation cultivators were surprised. They communicated with each other and decided to only launch long-range powerful strikes. Unfortunately, these attacks would even harm the surrounding innocents who hadn't escaped out of range yet. This caused Yan Zaizen's eyes to sparkle with killing intent like never before.
”Dare to hurt others when dealing with me? Do you even have the time?!” He shouted violently. His body exploded in torrential silver-blue light, and like thin strings of light, they shot towards each Essence Formation Cultivator's glabella so accurately that it as if it was being done surgically.
Before they could release their attacks, each and every one of them lost their lives. A small hole burrowed into their cranium, leaking out blood and brain matter.
Finally, the Qi Unification Cultivators arrived. When they witnessed this scene, they were shocked. At least thirty Essence Formation that was on watch at the gate was dead before they could even arrive. They must've taken no less than ten seconds!!
Their expressions were solemn. They were contemplating their plan of action. None of them reached their cultivation by being rash and jumping into a situation they couldn't figure out.
However, how would Yan Zaizen give them that time? His eyes glowed with an aurora light. Since they were in mid-air, why shouldn't he be? He lightly smashed his right foot on the ground, propelling himself upwards, and when he ascended to their height, his body suddenly stopped. Essence Formation Cultivators can temporarily levitate, but they can't maintain that height for long.
Yan Zaizen wasn't using his qi cultivation base to achieve this flight, but his soul cultivation base to maintain his flight. His body glowed with a silver-blue light. He gave them one warning, they choose this. He had no mercy left.
Dozens of tendrils of Aurora-based light surged outwards at speeds that were incomprehensible for all but the most elite Qi Unification Realm Cultivators. There were only six Qi Unification Cultivators on the scene, and they were certainly not elites. Some weren't even at the mid-stage of the realm.
Their eyes shone with fear and panic. They attempted to run, but the aurora-light tendrils were simply too fast. They were wrapped up, restrained and they felt a pressure on their souls. They felt they couldn't even properly circulate their qi, and the qi they could move wasn't sufficient to break out of these tendrils formed from Aurora-based soul energy.
Three Qi Unification Cultivators appeared at the eastern gate, carried with them were He Shijing, Ying Yimian, and Ying Sumian. Ying Fanmian was one of the Qi Unification, and the other two were the old men Yan Zaizen saw when he first met He Shijing. When they saw the scene, their eyes widened, and their mouths agape in shock.
A peak-Essence Formation Cultivator with a body cultivation at the peak-Qi Revolving Realm was flying in the mid-air, tendrils extended from his body and restrained six Qi Unification Cultivators to the point they couldn't even speak.
Yan Zaizen saw these six arrive, and his eyes turned vicious. He wanted to just go home, but they dared set up a blockade to prevent him from doing so. Not to mention, he didn't like any of them. This Ying Fenmian, Ying Sumian, and Ying Yimian wanted to use him as a pawn for their own schemes. As for He Clan, he simply didn't like He Shijing. He didn't really need a reason. He just hated how he looked at him - like he was insignificant.
The mocking gaze contained that was oh-so-familiar to him. You dare look at me like that? Then, you don't treasure your life.
Ying Fenmian was the first one to speak up, ”Wait! We can talk this out!” He saw the situation develop and knew he wasn't Yan Zaizen's match; he had no intentions of getting closer. As for relying on the Earthly Titan Sect's Xuanwu City's representative to act, that was dreaming. Before they started this, it had been mentioned that not a single official member of Xuanwu City will interfere.
At the time, this was obviously something he wanted because Yan Zaizen had their entire clan's fortune. If the Xuanwu City dealt with him and took it, saying they couldn't find it, it would be their own loss. Now, he regretted making such a compromise.
