Everlasting Chapter 631 The Third Outpos (1/2)

This time, they spent longer on their recuperation and a good ten days pa.s.sed before Wen Shaoxiu and the others gradually recovered.

Due to how severe their injuries had been, even after spending ten days healing themselves, taking medicinal pills and absorbing spiritual energy to help their healing process, they were only able to heal about 80 % of their injuries. A full recovery would require more time.

Naturally, they would have no problems fighting.

“It's been a long time since I'd had to suffer from such grievous injuries. I nearly died this time around.”

“Yes. The a.s.sa.s.sins are truly not to be underestimated. Additionally, there are also the cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace. They are even stronger than the a.s.sa.s.sins. Looks like we've been viewing the sky from the bottom of the well all this time. The cultivators of this world cannot be underestimated.”

“Still, we had to spend so long to recuperate. Looks like the final outpost must have received word by now. The a.s.sa.s.sins there have most likely left.”

“Or maybe they have already prepared themselves thoroughly, setting a trap just for us.”

“Regardless, we have to go check it out. Returning just like this doesn't sit right with me.”

After a round of discussion, they decided to head to Killer Palace's third outpost.

According to the information Chen Feng obtained from the Human Immortal a.s.sa.s.sin's soul, there were also cultivators from Nine Firmaments Palace in the third outpost. Thus, Chen Feng speculated that Xu Shan will definitely head to the third outpost as well. However, it had been a long time since they escaped. Due to that, it was highly likely that the outpost was now empty.

Naturally, that was only Chen Feng's speculation. He was unwilling to go back without checking it out.

There was practically a never-ending grudge between him and Nine Firmaments Palace. Thus, Chen Feng would gladly chip away at their power.

This time, they did not rush forward to find the third outpost. Thus, they only arrived at the outpost on the second day. Before they could investigate the place, however, they noticed that there was something going on.

It was something they found very interesting.

Blade light and sword silhouettes raged, mountains collapsed and the lands cracked, flames surged into the sky and lightning flashed. Sounds of collision, shouts and cries of misery could be heard.

Even a fool could tell that a battle was raging there. Additionally, the intensity of the battle seemed greater than the one that Wen Shaoxiu's team had just gone through back then.

“Am I hallucinating here? Is this an illusion?” Situ Nan's eyes were wide open.

“Obviously not. Looks like we are a bit late. Someone is attacking this outpost.”

“That may have been the case in the beginning. However, it would seem that this outpost was prepared. The attacking cultivators are now like sheep to the slaughter.”

“The a.s.sa.s.sins really did set up a trap for us. Such audacity! Are they not afraid that we would bring more men with us to attack them?”

Chen Feng activated his Magic Eyes of Darkness and was able to clearly see everything that was happening 100 li ahead. The chaotic streams of spiritual energy and shockwaves were simply incapable of disrupting his vision.

“There is a Human Immortal in this outpost!” After just one glance, Chen Feng cried out.

“Indeed. A Human Immortal a.s.sa.s.sin. Heh, Killer Palace is truly powerful! They have three outposts within such a small area. Additionally, every one of the outposts boasts a formidable level of power. It is said that Killer Palace has the same level of strength as Heavenly Origin Trade a.s.sociation and their forces are spread throughout the whole world. If they have as many outposts as this in other places as well, then Killer Palace's strength would indeed be unimaginable.”

“That's unlikely. Killer Palace is indeed powerful and the average first-rate sects and families would not have the courage to mess with it. However, their forces are mainly focused in the Central Plains. Additionally, two of the three outposts were only recently established. Also, it looked as though they were established for the sake of taking down Brother Chen.”

“He he! Unexpectedly, Brother Chen is so famous. Looks like Killer Palace is really giving you a lot of attention.”

“I am feeling hard pressed just thinking about it. And yet, you guys are laughing about it? This Killer Palace issue is a big problem. If the a.s.sa.s.sins keep on coming after me, it is just a matter of time before they succeed in killing me off. Last time, they sent forth Sky Human a.s.sa.s.sins after me. Next time, they will probably send Human Immortal a.s.sa.s.sins after me. Even ordinary Human Immortals would find it hard to deal with them. Not to mention, these are a.s.sa.s.sins who have gone through deathly training. I fear that they would be able to kill me off with just one move.” Chen Feng revealed a bitter smile.

“Brother Chen, you are too modest. Didn't you manage to kill off a Human Immortal a.s.sa.s.sin earlier?” Wen Shaoxiu said smilingly.

“I only got lucky. Besides, I cannot take sole credit for killing him.” Chen Feng waved it off and continued to observe the battle.

“From the looks of it, this battle is even more ferocious compared to our previous battle,” Liu Quan said with a chuckle.

“It truly is more ferocious. There aren't that many a.s.sa.s.sins in this outpost. Even after adding that Human Immortal a.s.sa.s.sin in, there are only six a.s.sa.s.sins. Maybe some of them are still hiding. Heh! I see two familiar faces. However, they are not from Nine Firmaments Palace. Rather, they are from Transcendent Firmaments Palace. One of them is Mo Lei while the other one, I believe his name is Mo Feng. Two years ago, the two of them were only level 9 Sky Human stage cultivators. Right now, however, they have risen up to the half-step Human Immortal stage. Impressive.” Chen Feng's eyes lit up .

“Transcendent Firmaments Palace, Nine Firmaments Palace and Purple Firmaments Palace. The three sects split out from the Heavenly Firmaments Palace. The fame of the Heavenly Immortal Technique that the three sects practice rings loudly across our Eternal World. Brother Chen, looks like there is quite a lot of pressure piling down on you.” Wen Shaoxiu chuckled.

“With pressure comes motivation. Besides, I do not believe that the three sects would send out a high number of men over.” Chen Feng smirked.

“There are ten cultivators attacking the outpost and six corpses on the ground. One of the corpses is a black-clad a.s.sa.s.sin's corpse,” Chen Feng said, his brows furrowing.

“A five-to-one mortality rate? Looks like these guys are in serious trouble. Though, why do their techniques look familiar to me?” Liu Quan said.

“They must be from the Xu Family,” Wen Shaoxiu said.

Although Wen Shaoxiu and the others did not cultivate the Magic Eyes of Darkness, they were half-step Human Immortals. Peering several hundred li ahead with their eyes was not an issue for them. Only, they were not able to view what was happening there with the same clarity as Chen Feng.

“Indeed, some of them are indeed using the power of s.p.a.ce. Judging by the way the battle is unfolding, if it weren't for their proficiency in the power of s.p.a.ce, they would have died long ago,” Chen Feng said.
