Chapter 13 - Dominating! (1/2)
The cultivator group pressed forward, ahead of them they could see that the space inside the cave started to get bigger, it just so happens that they got to the place where Krune had battled the Lizard Dragon leader, they noticed the mess on the ground, it was obvious that the stalactites from the roof had fallen down not too long ago, but that also meant that they wont see that happen any time soon, it take hundreds if not thousands of years for those stalactites to form, it's simply impossible for them to form on the roof without any outside help.
Further ahead, Krune could already sense the approaching bunch, he was feeling very calm, he had gone through quite a few battles recently and couldn't feel nervous anymore, this is the gift of experience.
'Guess that the old trick should work with those three, indeed, there is nothing better than being a wisp in a situation like this one, they are totally underestimating me.'
'But that in that also pisses me off, your grandfather here will show you what a real wisp is capable of.'
Sure enough, Krune was right, they didn't put him in their eyes at all, they simply communicated through their Divine Senses.
”Alright, lets finish it quickly, for this wisp to have reached the 9th of Qi Condensation it might have some tricks under his belt, but there is nothing to be afraid, I will use my earth protection and march forward, when it attacks me you two rush to the sides and throw the net, wait for me to block it first, as soon as that happens and will rush forward and keep it occupied so that it won't run away, got it?”
The other two cultivators agreed, the one who spoke is specialized in earth element, so he is the best to be the vanguard, at the same time, the Foundation Establishment leader behind kept his Divine Sense spread out, although it consumes a lot of spiritual energy he thinks that this battle will not take more than a few seconds, at most a minute.
Krune kept the play, he floated left and right as if trying to find a way to pass through them and escape, good thing that wisps had no face or bodily expressions to start with, it was too easy to fool those guys ahead.
”Haha, look at that, it still thinks it can escape, let's go”
The earth element cultivator rushed forward, his two companion were right at his back waiting for the signal, they quickly closed the distance, for them it was too easy to deal with this wisp, in their eyes Krune was as good as a captured wisp already.
Krune pretended to reach a dead end by mistake, when the cultivators noticed this, their confidence got even higher, but their guard against Krune dropped down even more, Krune started to form his wind blades above his head, when the earth element cultivator saw what Krune was about to use he almost burst in laughter.
'Does this wisp think he can really break my defense with some puny wind blades, he must be dreaming.'
The earth element cultivator sprinted forward, the two behind had their wisp nets ready for use, everything was going according to the plan, just when they were about to rush to the sides to trap the wisp, something unbelievable happened, right in front of them their earth element cultivator companion was split in three, two blazing wind blades passed through his body and went flying straight at them, despair appeared on their faces!
'Skill merge! Wind element and Fire element, Blazing Wind Blades!
Fast, those blades are too fast!
The Foundation Establishment cultivator behind noticed it before them and cried out.
”DODGE!”
But it was too late, the two blazing wind blades cut through the last two cultivators behind like knife cutting butter, their eyes showing their astonishment, they could only think one thing, in fact, their earth element cultivator companion ahead of them had the same thought before dying a second ago.
'How's that possible? Since when wisps are this strong?'
There was only black now, the three of them died just like that.
But that wasn't the end, those blazing wind blades didn't slow down at all and flew straight at the Foundation Establishment leader, he was alarmed, but his cultivator was higher than Krune and he was in the next realm after all, he immediately dodged jumping to the side, the blazing wind blades passed by him, he could feel the scourging heat coming from them, the blades hit the wall behind the leader and went through it, no one knows how far they have gone before losing their power.
But it wasn't over yet, as soon as he touched the ground he noticed something wrong, the ground wasn't solid anymore! He immediately plummeted down.
'Skill merge! Earth element and Fire element, Lava Lake!'
The cultivator immediately used his spiritual energy to created a barrier to protect himself from the heat, as soon as his feet touched the ground under the small lava pond he used all his strength to jump, but just as his head appeared outside the lava pond he stopped, not because he wanted to, but because he couldn't move anymore, that's because the lava around him had suddenly solidified!
He noticed that the temperature all around him had plummeted!
'Skill merge! Earth, Fire and Water element, Stone Prison!'
This was Krune's idea to stop strong enemies from moving, as long as he could catch them of guard and make them fall into the lava lake, he would used an water element attack to solidify the lava and imprisoning his target.
Their leader couldn't believe it, he saw everything that happened with his Divine Sense but he didn't pay attention to what happened bellow him, that wisp had prepared to throw two wind blades at the cultivator on the forefront, but suddenly those wind blades that shouldn't present any danger for the earth element cultivator became fiery red, their speed was inconceivable, it seemed like it could slash and burn everything in it's path, truly a fearsome attack that even he wouldn't dare to block, that would be suicide!
Right after that the two cultivators behind the earth element one only noticed the blazing winds blades when they had cut through their companion, it was too late to dodge.
The most amazing thing was that those blades didn't lose any power and directly flew at him, because of his surprise he was late to react and could only jump to the side.
But who could have thought that everything that happened was for the sole purpose of baiting him to fall in the trap?
