Chapter 266: Midnight Raid (2/2)
“This is the Dark Moon’s territory. How dare you intrude?!”
As Gu Yu let out a wild laugh, numerous shiny, silver metal balls shot out from within his palm. “It’s Lord Gu Yu from the Blood Skull!”
Each and every ball shone with an ice-cold metallic luster as they whizzed through the air and exploded when they reached the center of a group of Dark Moon members.
In the next moment, countless silver needles that were as fine as hairs emanated frightening cold light as they shot into their surroundings.
In Nie Tian’s eyes, the metal balls were like exploding hedgehogs, sending out all of their sharp needles.
PUFF! PUFF! PUFF!
Not having the time to react, a dozen Dark Moon experts were immediately pierced by the silver needles and covered in bloody holes.
As their ear-piercing screams filled the mountain valley, more Dark Moon experts charged out of their cottages, roaring and brandishing their spiritual tools.
A few Dark Moon experts were both shocked and thrilled to see Gu Yu, and they hastily rushed towards the wooden cottage Pei Qiqi was focusing on.
“It’s Gu Yu from the Blood Skull!”
“The Blood Skull has invaded! Get word to the Land of the Abandoned and have the headquarters send powerful experts here!”
“Gu Yu must be insane to dare to come here! He should not imagine that he can get out of here alive!”
Just like Ma Jiu was to them, Gu Yu was the Blood Skull’s highest commander of their forces in the Void Illusion Mountain Range. Him being here meant that the Blood Skull had planned to go all-out with this battle.
However, they also understood that if they could use their teleportation portal to inform their headquarters of the Blood Skull’s operation, every Blood Skull member, including Gu Yu himself, would be killed and buried here in the Void Illusion Mountain Range.
A wild laugh filled Gu Yu’s face as he blurted, “Hahaha! Go ahead and see if you can summon more of your scumbags from the Land of the Abandoned!”
With those words, he took the initiative and charged into the Dark Moon’s base like a bolt of lightning, chasing down and killing their members.
A shade of blood seemed to have filled Shi Qing’s pupils as he led the other Greater Heaven stage experts in a charge after Gu Yu, the Blood Skull patterns on their chests unleashing the light of bloodthirst.
In the center of the valley, dozens of early and middle Heaven stage Dark Moon members were shrieking as they attempted to contain Gu Yu and his men.
It was at that very moment that Cai Yuan charged into the valley and engaged in a fierce battle with them, along with several dozen Blood Skull members.
Nie Tian followed them to the battlefield, but he didn’t rush into battle. Instead, he used his Heaven Eyes to observe the situation.
WHOOSH!
The blue figure of a pretty woman flashed past right in front of Nie Tian’s eyes. She threaded her way through the fighting Dark Moon and Blood Skull members, and dashed towards one of the wooden cottages.
“Pei Qiqi!” Without even thinking, Nie Tian immediately realized it was Pei Qiqi.
He had long since noticed that Pei Qiqi had been focusing all her attention on that specific cottage since she had finished her spell.
From the look in her eyes, Nie Tian speculated that the Dark Moon’s teleportation portal was in there.
Inside the cottage, the Dark Moon expert, who had just claimed that Gu Yu and all his men would die in their base, roared angrily as his heart burned with anxiety, “Our teleportation portal isn’t working!
“Damn! Now that we can’t get in touch with our headquarters, we can’t have them send reinforcements from the Land of the Abandoned!
“It must be that cunt Pei Qiqi who did this!”
As soon as they attempted to start the teleportation portal, they noticed that the entire valley had been covered by an unstable magnetic field.
Unstable spatial energy had forcibly disrupted the spatial fluctuations in the area, and thus stopped their teleportation portal from activating.
“Why hasn’t Lord Ma Jiu returned? God dammit! Shouldn’t he have killed that bitch already!?
“Without Lord Ma Jiu here, we can’t possibly beat Gu Yu and his men with just the few of us!”
“Worst of all, now we can’t even inform our headquarters to send reinforcements!”
Unable to come up with a solution, the few Dark Moon experts became soaked in sweat due to anxiety.
Shi Qing saw through Pei Qiqi’s intentions and thus joined her after seeing her charge towards the wooden cottage. “Let me help you, Miss Pei!”
Moments later, Shi Qing arrived at the cottage before Pei Qiqi. He stamped his foot with great force, and then a wave of vigorous energy fluctuations spread out from under his feet.
It was as if there was a giant monster struggling under the earth, roaring and storming towards the wooden cottage.
Struck by the wave of energy fluctuations, the cottage instantly collapsed, and every Dark Moon member inside was exposed.
The teleportation portal, which could hold five people at one time, remained unscathed and stood unwavering like a large magnet sticking to the earth.
WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!
Pei Qiqi’s Ethereal Swords flew out from her ring of holding, but rapidly vanished from everyone’s sight, without leaving any trace.
“Ethereal Swords! The woman is using her Ethereal Swords!” Fear could be seen on the Dark Moon members’ faces as they fled in opposite directions.
PUFF! PUFF!
Two Ethereal Swords appeared out of nowhere and pierced through two Heaven stage Dark Moon experts.
