Everlasting Chapter 133: Longevity Sword (1/2)
“That huge fire arrow was the combined attack by 10 Flaming Spiritcrows.” Chen Feng, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta had only just steadied themselves when two more large fire arrows shot towards them.
“Let me.” As he spoke, Chen Feng stamped one foot down and the Magnetic acupoints on his feet began moving. Thick earthen energy was spurred forth and a faint, yellow-coloured s.h.i.+eld of light appeared before the three of them.
Cras.h.!.+ Cras.h.!.+
Facing the obstruction formed through the power of the earth, the large fire arrows exploded. Chen Feng and the others quickly darted away to avoid the resulting shockwaves.
After having gone through so many life-threatening battles together, the three of them now possessed a highly tacit understanding of each other. Lu Ta rapidly spun his Endless Sky of Turbidity staff to block the demonic energy and heat waves from a.s.sailing them while Ye Ziming secretly built up his power so that he could utilize his Voidslip technique when there was danger. As for Chen Feng, he flicked both his hands out and two Longevity Blades were condensed out. Chilling flashes of light were reflected off the edges of the blades as he swung them to meet the incoming fire arrows.
The sound of explosions kept erupting all around them as pillars of flames exploded non-stop. Flames spread out chaotically in every direction, causing the surrounding temperature to instantly soar. There were also wretched screams as sounds of battle and shouts intermingled. It did not take long for the scent of blood, accompanied by the heat waves, to waft into Chen Feng's nose.
“A lot of people are truly going to die,” said Chen Feng with a sigh. He finally understood why Mo Ji would spend so much money to recruit all these cultivators. Even if they had double their current number, this trip into Demon Soul Valley was still very dangerous. At any rate, they were not Sky Human stage cultivators. Forget encountering Great Yaos, even the act of resisting the thick demonic energy within Demon Soul Valley had forced the cultivators to expend a good amount of their energies. Thus, they were simply incapable of unleas.h.i.+ng their full power against the enemies they encountered.
Puchi! Puchi!
Two level 3 cultivators failed to block off the fierce fire arrows and the arrows instantly pierced through their chests. The intense flames from the fire arrows burned a see-through hole through each of their chests.
“Gale sword cleaves the river!”
“Divine sky-breaking G.o.d-slaying dragon spear!”
Suddenly, Mo Xigui and another young cultivator charged towards the sky-encompa.s.sing wave of fire arrows. A sword beam, spreading out against the sky, swept out repeatedly and a spear silhouette, resembling a divine dragon raising a tempest, broke apart the incoming wave of fire arrows. They continued to charge into the midst of the Flaming Spiritcrows that were flying before the cultivators. One sword and one spear rampaged about continuously as one Flaming Spiritcrow fell after another, the flames radiating off their bodies fading away.
The Flaming Spiritcrows, with their raging flames, were quite the peculiar yao beasts. When alive, their whole bodies burned with intense heat and flames that danced about. In death, however, the flames faded away and they looked like any other crow.
Due to Mo Xigui and the young cultivator's charge, the flock of Flaming Spiritcrows fell into a state of chaos. Next, the other cultivators charged forward and the battle was joined. More and more of the Flaming Spiritcrows fell into a state of chaos.
All the cultivators, even those with the air of young masters, Mo Ji's escorts, were engaged in battle against the Flaming Spiritcrows. However, the situation was different for Mo Ji and her four bodyguards. Although the five of them were constantly killing off any Flaming Spiritcrows attacking them, it was obvious they weren't giving it their all. Moreover, as long as the Flaming Spiritcrows were not specifically attacking them, they would ignore the Flaming Spiritcrows. Even if someone beside them was being torn to pieces by the Flaming Spiritcrows, the five of them would not do anything to help.
Shua! Shua! Shua! Shua!
Whenever a Flaming Spiritcrow approached Mo Ji, the four bodyguards behind her would attack. There were no fancy moves. Astral blades shot out and the Flaming Spiritcrows would be cut into two each.
The four bodyguards are quite powerful. However, they have been holding back all this time. That Mo Ji is even more unfathomable. Watching as these cultivators die while preserving her own power. She is either cold-blooded or she has a reason for that. Chen Feng considered.
After the escort cultivators joined the battle, everyone was finally able to close the distance between them and the Flaming Spiritcrows and they engaged in a melee battle. Like fireb.a.l.l.s, the Flaming Spiritcrows barrelled towards the cultivators, looking like meteors as they did.
As Chen Feng was fighting, he was also observing the short, middle-aged cultivator who was with Elegant Gentleman. He wanted to see him in action. However, Chen Feng was quickly disappointed. The cultivator was only displaying the power of a level 5 Concealed stage cultivator. Additionally, his attacks were done nonchalantly. There was a calm expression on his face as he followed Elegant Gentleman. He would only attack when there were Flaming Spiritcrows attacking him and would leave most of the work to Elegant Gentleman.
As for Elegant Gentleman, he was indeed skilled. Utilizing the fan in his hand, he sent out several bursts of strong wind to keep the surrounding Flaming Spiritcrows at bay.
Additionally, Chen Feng also noticed a few other experts. However, Chen Feng was able to conclude that they were all fighting for themselves. Every one of them was only fighting to ensure their own safety, disregarding what was happening to others.
It was not just the others. Chen Feng, Ye Ziming and Lu Ta were doing the same thing. The three of them grouped up and Chen Feng chose not to utilize the Overwhelming Astral Sword. Instead, he utilized the Longevity Blades he condensed out to combat the enemy beasts. Should the pressure they face grow too great for them, Ye Ziming would utilize his Voidslip technique to whisk them aside. In short, they were not going all-out to make a grandstand. Instead, they simply preserved their strength.
After breaking through, the Longevity Blades that Chen Feng condensed out had grown several times stronger. Chen Feng could feel it. The Longevity Blades he condensed out were comparable to grade 2 Magic artefacts.
The Longevity Scripture was incomparably mysterious. Chen Feng had only just begun cultivating it and thus, was only able to gain a superficial understanding of the Longevity Blade. He was incapable of fully unleas.h.i.+ng the sagacity contained within the weapon condensation technique from the scripture.
