Everlasting Chapter 134: Five Elements Capturing Ligh (1/2)

“I'll fight!” Elegant Gentleman's face turned grim as he regretted his actions of provoking Chen Feng. To his shock, the powerful killing intent that Chen Feng was sending towards him was accompanied by an unstoppable murderous sword.

“Driftflame Swiftwind Flight!”

Elegant Gentleman gritted his teeth and growled out. The fan in his hand abruptly spread open to release surging flames. Wind and flames stimulated each other and a surging fire dragon charged towards the Overwhelming Astral Sword.

At the same time, the short, middle-aged cultivator made his move. He reached out with his hand and extended five fingers towards the sky. Next, with a grasping motion, a large, black-coloured vortex suddenly appeared. The vortex spun furiously and the surrounding flow of energy, demonic energy and even the Flaming Spiritcrows were sucked into it. They transformed into surging energy currents, making the vortex grow even stronger.

“Five Elements Capturing Light. It is that secret magic!” Mo Ji herself was unable to stop herself from blurting out in shock as her calm face grew shocked once more.

Naturally, Mo Ji had noticed the fight breaking out between Chen Feng and Elegant Gentleman. Firstly, there was not enough time for her to interfere. Secondly, and more importantly, she wanted to check out Chen Feng and Elegant Gentleman's power.

Mo Ji had not revealed a shocked look when Chen Feng displayed out the Overwhelming Astral Sword. She had already expected this display of power from him. However, when the short, middle-aged cultivator took action, Mo Ji grew dumbfounded. The magic technique that he was using was a long-lost magic. She had only just heard rumours about it.

The scorching fire dragon and the large vortex charged forward, one following the other, making their way towards the Overwhelming Astral Sword. When they collided, the scorching fire dragon was dispersed and the fan in Elegant Gentleman's hand was set ablaze, turning into ashes in the process. To Chen Feng's surprise, the large vortex sent forth by the short, middle-aged cultivator was not dispersed in the collision. Instead, it was constantly chipping away the Overwhelming Astral Sword's power.

Finally, after stopping the Overwhelming Astral Sword's attacking momentum, the large vortex disappeared without a trace. Chen Feng waved his hand and the Overwhelming Astral Sword circled back to hover before him. Next, it flew about in every direction for a moment and the surrounding Flaming Spiritcrows were all killed.

What kind of magic technique was that? It is so magical. It could actually block off an attack from a Prized artefact. Chen Feng himself was feeling shocked. The short, middle-aged cultivator's performance had surpa.s.sed his expectations. After witnessing how he casually dealt with his attack, Chen Feng knew that he would be incapable of scoring any hits if they were to continue the fight.

As Chen Feng had chosen not to attack again, Elegant Gentleman and the short, middle-aged cultivator chose to do the same. For Elegant Gentleman, that earlier attack had destroyed his high-grade Magic artefact, causing his heart to ache. And yet, he dared not attack again. The power of a Prized artefact was not something that he could contend against.

As for the short, middle-aged cultivator, his eyes shone for a bit before regaining a calm look. It seemed he had come up with a plan.

When the short, middle-aged cultivator cast out the large vortex, a look of shock flashed across Ye Ziming's face. It seemed he had recognized the magic technique.

As both sides had their own scruples, they stopped fighting and continued combating the surrounding Flaming Spiritcrows.

“Elegant Gentleman, you got lucky this time. I wonder if you can block the next one?” said Chen Feng with a sneer. A moment later, a sharp sword energy flowed out to form a circle, wrapping up another Flaming Spiritcrow. This time, however, it was no longer one that moved according to his mere thought, bereft of the wondrous state he had entered earlier.

Bang!

A loud booming sound rang out as the minor Five Elements battle formation that the Five Heroes of Pot Mountain formed was broken by a powerful flock of Flaming Spiritcrows. Fourth Pot Bro and Fifth Pot Bro were wounded quite a bit and scorch marks could be seen on their bodies.

These Flaming Spiritcrows are truly powerful. Even if you disregard Big Pot Bro, who is at level 5 of the Concealed stage, the other four are all at level 4 of the Concealed stage. After forming that battle formation, they could even fight against a level 6 Concealed stage cultivator. Unexpectedly, these Flaming Spiritcrows could so quickly break the battle formation and wound them. Chen Feng pondered silently.

At that moment, Lu Ta staggered backwards and had to struggle despite Ye Ziming's a.s.sistance to repel off a Flaming Spiritcrow.

“Huh! The demonic energy here is too thick. Just the effort needed to fight off the demonic energy here is exhausting 30 % of my primary energy,” said Lu Ta, his face somewhat pale as black strands of energy flowed across his face.

“Right. How did I forget about the demonic energy?” Chen Feng was stunned. Only then did he recall that everyone was in a disadvantageous position by virtue of their environment.

However, the longevity-type primary energy I cultivate seems effective in dispelling the negative effects of the demonic energy. I wonder, can it allow me to absorb and refine the demonic energy here? Chen Feng thought to himself.

As he was considering that, the Overwhelming Astral Sword swiftly flew forward to circle once around the Five Heroes of Pot Mountain to kill off the tens of Flaming Spiritcrows around them.

“What a pity! Those are all good materials for the concoction of medicinal pills,” said Chen Feng with a sigh.

“Fellows, stay close to me and don't stray away!” Chen Feng shouted. Since he had already brought it out, he simply continued to send his Prized artefact out to kill the yao beasts. Wherever its sword light went, Flaming Spiritcrows would constantly be killed. Instantly, flames burst out and potent energy waves flowed out haphazardly. After that, a secure zone appeared around Chen Feng.

Seeing that, all the surrounding cultivators swarmed towards Chen Feng, hoping to gain his protection.

After a good two hours, more than 1,000 Flaming Spiritcrows had been slain. Seeing that, the remaining Flaming Spiritcrows understood just how powerful their opponents were and they all fled, leaving the wounded cultivators who swore about endlessly.

“Again, more than 10 cultivators died in this battle. However, the ones to survive are all the elites, each more powerful than the other,” said Chen Feng.

“Almost all the cultivators at level 3 of the Concealed stage had died just now. However, despite the brutality of the earlier battle, some have not gone all out. They are concealing their true powers,” said Ye Ziming with a sneer.

The expressions on Mo Ji's group remained calm. However, some cultivators sent furious glares at Ye Ziming in response. Yet, seeing the Overwhelming Astral Sword hovering before Chen Feng, looks of hesitation appeared on their faces. Of course, there were also looks of greed.
