Chapter 1655 - Bloody Ground (1/2)
Mu Lingxi sent Zhang Ruochen a message. “It’s so strange. The cultivators of Heaven Field seem to have split into two groups.”
“Not every cultivator dares to come into this forbidden zone,” Zhang Ruochen said. “It must be that one group followed the footprints and scent in the air to pursue Xiang Chunan and the Psychic Sage. Another group doesn’t dare to venture in, so they stayed outside the cave.”
“Then we must hurry over and help Brother Xiang,” Mu Lingxi said.
Zhang Ruochen shook his head. “Xiang Chunan has the Thousand-Mile Vision and his eyesight is far better than us. He has a great advantage in this forbidden zone. He’d probably discover the Heaven Field cultivators before they can even find him, so there’s nothing to worry about.”
“Then, we should…”
Mu Lingxi sensed the murderous Qi pouring out of Zhang Ruochen’s body and immediately stopped.
Zhang Ruochen stared at the exit of the cave. “This forbidden zone isn’t controlled by the Truth G.o.dly Palace. If we get trapped by them, what do you think they’ll do?”
Mu Lingxi understood what Zhang Ruochen wanted to do. She tugged her hair softly and said, “But there are many cultivators guarding the exit. Each of them is in the Saint King Realm.”
“The enemies are out in the open,” Zhang Ruochen said. “We are hidden. This is an advantage.”
“Okay, since you’ve decided, I won’t try to dissuade you. What do you need me to do?” Mu Lingxi lifted her pale face and studied Zhang Ruochen.
“No hurry,” Zhang Ruochen said. “Wait until I get closer and test how strong they are before acting.”
A black-robed man who was skilled in formations had set up a fog formation with the cave exit as the center.
Hiss, hiss.
Cold black smoke rose up from the ground. All land within 100 feet became one with the blackness of the forbidden zone.
“With the fog formation, even if the zone has prehistoric monsters, they won’t be able to find us.” The black-robed man held a crystal formation ball and sat down.
Lan Sibai took out a red piece of jade and threw it out. When it landed, it started burning with a whoosh and turned into a fireball.
“What are you doing?” a bone thin creature berated. “Do you want to lure the monsters over?”
“What are you scared of?” Lan Sibai asked casually. “With the fog formation blocking all light and heat, even if there are monsters here, they won’t be able to discover us.”
The bone thin creature was like a bat. His cultivation was even higher than Lan Sibai, but Lan Sibai was from Heaven Field, so he didn’t dare to offend him. Thus, he stopped speaking and closed his eyes, using his ears to listen to any noises in the darkness. He was on high alert.
The saint jade burned and firelight illuminated the darkness.
Feeling the waves of heat, Lan Sibai’s fear finally scattered, so he asked, “I keep hearing you all mention prehistoric monsters…what exactly do they look like? Are they really creatures that have survived from prehistoric times ’till now?”
The black-robed man holding the crystal formation ball shook his head. “It’s not that dramatic. I heard that it’s creatures with prehistoric Yin Qi… Might be dead spirits.”
“In that case, what’s so scary about it?” Lan Sibai scoffed.
“The prehistoric Yin Qi may be the evil that destroyed the civilization before Heaven Field. Even a Supreme Saint fears it.”
Suddenly, the bone thin bat’s ears twitched. He gestured for them to stop talking and sent a message to the six Saint Kings. “Movement in the darkness.”
Lan Sibai’s smile vanished. Growing nervous, he summoned his white sword and gripped it.
The other Saint Kings held their breath and tensed to the max. They all looked into the darkness, but they couldn’t sense anything wrong at all.
Just as they furrowed their brows, thinking that the bat had an auditory hallucination, the entire s.p.a.ce shook violently.
Kaboom!
The s.p.a.ce exploded and caved in. Half of their outer formation was destroyed.
“Can these prehistoric creatures use spatial power too?” Lan Sibai kept retreating in fear.
“Everyone, spread out!” the bat yelled. “King Yinjie, hurry and activate the formation. Stop the second wave of the attack.”
King Yinjie, dressed in black robes, pointed his ten withered fingers at the crystal ball to activate the formation. But then there were crackles and a layer of ice spread from the distance. It actually froze the formation runes so they couldn’t be activated.
“Oh, no. It’s Extreme Yin Pluto Ice. Everyone, hurry and leave.”
The bat spread its wings and flew dozens of feet into the air. His expression was dark. Evil Qi bounded out of his body. Next, a ring-shaped Ten-thousand-year-old saint weapon released Second Yao power and attacked somewhere in the darkness.
Boom!
The ring landed on the ground and made the ground collapse. Wild energy spread in all directions.
Whoos.h.!.+
A spatial crack flew out of the darkness and hit the bat’s abdomen. Blood sprayed out.
The bat cried out in pain and fell to the ground, landing on the ice. Strands of Extreme Yin Pluto Ice Qi surged into his wound.
Gradually, his cries disappeared and he was sealed in ice on the ground.
The expressions of the remaining six Saint Kings changed. They hadn’t expected that this place would be so dangerous. In an instant, a Saint King had died and they didn’t even know what the enemy looked like.
Whoos.h.!.+
Dozens of spatial cracks flew out of the darkness.
When they discovered the spatial cracks, they were already within 100 feet of them. They had no time to dodge them. Blocking them was even more impossible.
“Saint Light Rune.”
Lan Sibai sent out one of his runes. A layer of white saint light emerged, enveloping the six Saint Kings.
The dozens of spatial cracks landed on the white light like rain landing in a river. They produced ripples but didn’t tear it apart.
