Everlasting Chapter 112: Wretched (1/2)
As the cultivators from the Six Great Sky Grottoes were talking, Chen Feng, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta were quickly discussing what to do using their divine senses.
”The Six Great Sky Grottoes. There are over 20 cultivators from each sect. In total, there are over 100 cultivators. There are also some experts concealing themselves, not intending to take action just yet. As for our surroundings, there are others looking at us like preys for the sake of the Water of Life. This is a really unfavourable situation for us,” said Ye Ziming.
”This is not merely unfavourable. This is an extremely hopeless situation. Unless we have cultivated up to the Sky Human stage, it will be very difficult to charge our way out,” Lu Ta cried out.
”There is nothing we can do about it. If it comes down to it, we will just enter a b.l.o.o.d.y battle against them. If they want to kill us, we'll just have to kill off at least 10 of them,” Chen Feng suddenly said with a loud voice. Killing intent and combat resolve was already radiating off his body as stream after stream of sword light flowed around his palm.
By then, the attacks from the Six Great Sky Grottoes had arrived. Sword beams, primary energy blasts, palm silhouettes, magic treasures and various other streams of light engulfed Chen Feng and the others.
”Let's go!”
The ones to react first were actually Shadewind Scholar and Blood Profound Daoist. They made their move the very instant the cultivators from Six Great Sky Grottoes attacked. Shadewind Scholar waved the fan in his hand furiously to summon forth a sinister wind. Instantly, dark clouds roiled and ghastly cries rang out. There were also traces of devilish and b.l.o.o.d.y energy mixed within the atmosphere.
The fan in Shadewind Scholar's hand was a sinister Magic artefact, which had been fused with vast amounts of sinister energy. It had also absorbed the blood essence of some cultivators. When in combat, he could directly blow sinister energy into his enemies' bodies, causing their souls to shatter apart. It was a truly sinister move.
Blood Profound Daoist attacked at the same time. Two b.a.l.l.s of blood rapidly flew out from his palms before exploding, sending countless strands of blood out into their surroundings. The nearby trees immediately withered before turning into ashes.
”Ha ha! Have a taste of my Blood Profound Bonechange Magic!” Blood Profound Daoist's menacing laugh echoed across the sky.
”Be careful. Stay close to me!”
Chen Feng, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta did not run away because the incoming attacks had already sealed off all possible routes of escape. The pressure brought forth by the attacks was such that Chen Feng's group knew there was no chance for them to charge out.
A dazzling burst of sword light radiated out from within Chen Feng's body to swiftly form a spherical s.h.i.+eld, which protected all three of them. It would appear that Chen Feng planned on using the power of the Prized artefact to block off all the incoming attacks.
The moment the s.h.i.+eld - formed from sword light - was created, the countless attacks engulfed Chen Feng and the others. At present, at least 100 cultivators from the Six Great Sky Grottoes were attacking them, all at once. It was an attack that even a Sky Human stage cultivator would want to avoid.
They are dead!
Seeing Chen Feng and the others engulfed by the attacks, the cultivators from the Six Great Sky Grottoes and the nearby cultivators thought so. The situation was self-evident. The difference between the two forces was simply too great.
”Argh!”
”This is bad!”
The miserable cries of Blood Profound Daoist and Shadewind Scholar rang out.
”Eh? Where are they? Could they have been blasted into smithereens?” When the attacks finally dissipated, all the cultivators became shocked to find that Chen Feng's group had disappeared.
”They must have been torn to pieces by the attack,” cried out someone from the Six Great Sky Grottoes.
”There is a big hole here!” It was then that someone suddenly noticed a circular black hole on the ground. At a glance, they were unable to gauge how deep it went or determine where it led to.
Somewhere hundreds of metres away from them, the hard ground suddenly exploded outwards. Chen Feng, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta - still wrapped up by the sword light - burst out from underground, causing dirt to scatter all over.
”Although I do not know any earth-slipping techniques, I can still utilize my magic treasure to drill a pa.s.sageway through the ground. Did they really think I would face their attacks head-on? Only a fool would do that,” said Chen Feng with a chuckle.
”Huh! It is so easy to escape? I did not even have to utilize my Voidslip technique,” said Ye Ziming in disbelief.
”We haven't escaped yet. Hurry, they've found us,” Chen Feng was quick to say.
”There! Hurry, don't let them escape!” By then, the cultivators from the Six Great Sky Grottoes had discovered Chen Feng's group.
”Let's go!”
Having successfully made their way out from the encirclement, the three of them did not hesitate to quickly flee.
”Blood Flight Magic!”
Suddenly, Blood Profound Daoist released a pained cry. Next, b.l.o.o.d.y light emanated out from his body as the aura on his person began swelling up and his speed shot up several times. Grabbing Shadewind Scholar, he charged out from the Six Great Sky Grottoes' encirclement with lightning-like speed. He ended up running in front of Chen Feng's group.
”Woah! He is so fast!” Lu Ta exclaimed.
”That is the Blood Flight Magic. Combusting one's blood essence to obtain great power. This fellow is going all out. Even if he successfully escapes, his strength will deteriorate greatly as his cultivation base drops,” said Ye Ziming.
In all honesty, after utilizing his Blood Flight Magic, Blood Profound Daoist could have easily escaped. Yet, who knows what he was thinking as he made his escape? He suddenly attacked Chen Feng's group.
”Ha ha ha ha! You three kids can stay behind!” Blood Profound Daoist suddenly laughed out loudly. With a flip of his hand, he attacked Chen Feng's group. Three b.a.l.l.s of blood shot out from his palm before exploding. Next, powerful blood energy wrapped Chen Feng's group up.
Blood Profound Daoist had attacked them during a critical juncture. He wanted to delay the rate at which Chen Feng's group was escaping so that the cultivators from the Six Great Sky Grottoes can catch up to them. This was a most vicious move.
”This old b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Lu Ta's swearing voice rang out from within the b.l.o.o.d.y mist.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
Suddenly, sword energy expanded from within the b.l.o.o.d.y mist to instantly cut it apart. Next, Chen Feng and the others charged out with lightning-like speed.
”Chen Feng, kill him!” Ye Ziming spat out through gnashed teeth. Due to the delay, their pursuers had gotten closer. All three of them were infuriated and the thought of rus.h.i.+ng forward to tear Blood Profound Daoist into pieces raged within them.
”Don't worry. I will not let him go,” said Chen Feng with a sneer.
Shua!
