Everlasting Chapter 839 Secretly Taking Action (1/2)

811'>

Despite Marquis Scarletfire's sky-vaulting will to fight, he was only just a mid-level Human Immortal in the end. Fighting off an entire group of cultivators was difficult. Not to mention, there were also the surrounding lightning powers to deal with.

The biggest issue he faced was the number of enemy cultivators. There were simply too many of them. Many of them hated the Four Great Academies. Seeing one of the students in a disadvantageous position, they wanted to take action against him. That was also one of the reasons behind Marquis Scarletfire's predicament. The other was that Marquis Scarletfire's cultivation level was comparatively lower, making him an easier target.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Marquis Scarletfire killed off another cultivator, but the enemy cultivators finally found the chance they needed. Three attacks landed on Marquis Scarletfire's body in a row.

The armour Marquis Scarletfire wore stopped all of the attacks. Even so, the shockwaves from the attacks had still wounded Marquis Scarletfire to the point of coughing out blood.

Chen Feng, who was within the Lightning Bead, saw that and he quickly took action. Slapping both his palms, he sent a wave of power out through the Lightning Bead. With the support of the Lightning Bead, the wave of power became incomparably violent, causing a thick pillar of lightning water to charge upwards. Next, under Chen Feng's control, the pillar of lightning water became like a ribbon, swirling towards the cultivators besieging Marquis Scarletfire.

However, that was not the end. Chen Feng continued attacking, again and again. One ball of lightning after another swiftly flew forward to attack them. As the b.a.l.l.s of lightning had charged out from the lightning waters all of a sudden, they were hard to detect.

Boom!

One of the b.a.l.l.s of lightning exploded and one of the cultivators was sent tumbling due to the explosion.

“Chance!”

Marquis Scarletfire rapidly charged forward, the spear in his hand becoming like a fire dragon as it instantly pierced the cultivator to kill him off.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The b.a.l.l.s of lightning kept exploding and the formidable power behind them threw the cultivators into a state of chaos, leaving them with no time to attack Marquis Scarletfire.

Knowing that it was Chen Feng taking action in the dark, Marquis Scarletfire acted in tandem with the b.a.l.l.s of lightning. He made use of the opportunities created to unleash attacks consecutively, killing off several cultivators as a result. His savage performance scared the surrounding cultivators to back away. Due to that, the area around Marquis Scarletfire became empty.

Seeing his enemies retreating, Marquis Scarletfire swiftly took action to collect several Gla.s.sy Lightning Flowers.

“So, you are with Chen Feng.” Suddenly a soul wave reached him.

At the same time, several of the Gla.s.sy Lightning Flowers that had appeared earlier disappeared. Seeing that, Marquis Scarletfire knew that there were people hiding in the dark.

“Who are you?” Marquis Scarletfire's figure descended and his feet made contact with the surface of the Lightning Pond. Next, a ball of flames rose up from beneath his feet to quickly encase him.

“Like you, I am also Chen Feng's partner.”

“If you're a partner, you shouldn't s.n.a.t.c.h the Gla.s.sy Lightning Flowers from me,” Marquis Scarletfire said, inspecting his surroundings.

“It's useless. You will not be able to find me. I bear no ill will towards you. Now, I will be heading down to see what Chen Feng is up to. There should be more Gla.s.sy Lightning Flowers down there.”

Chen Feng sat down cross-legged within the Lightning Bead and fired out attacks without respite at the surface until Marquis Scarletfire's situation was resolved. At the same time, he also noticed that the Gla.s.sy Lightning Flowers were drifting up from the depths of the Lightning Pond. However, after testing it for a moment, Chen Feng came to the conclusion that the Lightning Bead alone would have quite a hard time going deeper.

I wonder, has anyone ever reached the bottom before? Chen Feng wondered. Next, he formed a handseal and rapidly pushed his hands forward, causing the lightning waters to form a rapidly rotating maelstrom. The maelstrom then charged out from the surface to attack Immortal Golden Soul.

Bang!

Blood sprayed out from Immortal Golden Soul's mouth as his figure was thrown backwards. However, the others quickly saved him. Immortal Earthslip moved to place himself before Immortal Golden Soul.

“Chen Feng! I know it's you! If you're a man, then just come out! Hiding down there, you call that ability?” Immortal Earthslip shouted.

Bang!

A lightning attack burst forward. This time, the attack was aimed at Immortal Earthslip.

No rush. I'll deal with them one by one. Still, killing them off like this will be quite difficult.

Chen Feng was well aware of the present situation. These cultivators were all geniuses with formidable strength. Additionally, they also possess formidable magic treasures on them. His actions were aimed at forcing them to reveal their hidden cards.

Immortal Earthslip cultivated the power of earth, which countered the power of lightning. Due to that, the several attacks from Chen Feng were all ineffective.

“I'll have you taste my move!” The staff in Immortal Earthslip's hand suddenly elongated, smas.h.i.+ng its way into the Lightning Pond.

Oh, a Dao artefact! Chen Feng could feel the staff growing bigger and bigger, charging towards the Lightning Bead.

“Block!”

Chen Feng grasped with both hands and the lightning water within the Lightning Pond moved, condensing into layer after layer of ice to block the staff.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

One by one, the barriers burst apart and the staff smashed against the surface of the Lightning Bead to create a sky-shaking booming sound. The great power contained within that charge caused the Lightning Bead to shake ceaselessly. Even the sea of lightning within the Lightning Bead was shaking, making it hard for Chen Feng to sit still.

Tsk, tsk. Looks like I have underestimated Immortal Earthslip. Chen Feng chuckled. He did not panic. Instead, he brought out the Deepsea Maelstrom. The highly destructive maelstrom spun within Chen Feng's hand and a power – condensed to the point of tangibility – moved through the Lightning Bead to affect the lightning waters within the pond.

The lightning waters began spinning rapidly to form a ma.s.sive maelstrom and a storm rose up around it.
