Chapter 502: Skilled and Effortless Kills
In Lu Bai’s eyes, the floating continent before him had already become a land of humiliation.
Firstly, He Xu, Wu Cui, and Luo Ting had died miserable deaths on it. Then, after Zhang Jiu and Sha Cheng’s narrow escape, they had led another group of nine Greater Heaven stage disciples into the depths of the continent, which had once again ended in them suffering great losses.
Their opponents, however, were just Pei Qiqi, who was at the middle Greater Heaven stage, and an early Greater Heaven stage young man with an unknown background.
Lu Bai found the current situation to be simply unacceptable.
Soon, under Dong Tuodi and Qin Yi’s leadership, members of the Dong Clan and the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce arrived by the group of Poison Sect members.
Seeing that Lu Bai wasn’t in the mood to talk, Dong Tuodi didn’t impose. Instead, he just greeted him by nodding briefly at him before turning to order those who had come with him, “Alright, let’s go take a look inside this continent.”
A hint of a sneer appeared at the corner of Lu Bai’s mouth.
BOOM!
Dong Tuodi, who had already put away his Rainbow Lightning, instantly rammed hard into the invisible ward and triggered the restrictive spell around the floating continent.
As large amounts of green aura rose high into the air from the dense forest, the green, semi-transparent ward once again revealed itself, with innumerable complicated tree patterns roaming quietly on it.
A mysterious force that could ward off living creatures and soul fluctuations from that piece of heaven and earth was instantly born within the green, glowing ward.
Surprised and confused, Dong Tuodi unleashed a few incantations along with his soul awareness to examine the ward.
Moments later, he seemed to have reached a good understanding of the situation, and thus said, “There’s something strange about this continent.”
He looked over his shoulder at the Dong Clan juniors and said, “This strange ward is preventing both my spiritual and soul power from entering. I suppose it’s some sort of restrictive spell that works on Profound realm cultivators like me. Now you go and try.”
Two Worldly realm Dong Clan members followed his instructions and made their attempts, which also turned out to be unsuccessful.
Seeing this, Dong Tuodi turned to look at Dong Kang, Dong Baijie, and Dong Li, and said with a commanding tone, “Dong Kang, Baijie, Li.”
Upon hearing his words, the three most outstanding members of the Dong Clan’s younger generation shot towards the floating continent.
The three of them were all at the Greater Heaven stage. Unaffected by the ward, which had once again become invisible, they fell towards the land wreathed by rich wood power.
Standing by the edge of the floating continent, Dong Baijie turned around and said with a smile, “We have no problem entering this area.”
Upon hearing his words, the Greater Heaven stage members of the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce flew in after them, Qin Yan being their leader.
Dong Tuodi, Qin Yi, and a number of their Worldly realm members remained floating some distance from the edge of the continent.
After a moment of silence, Dong Tuodi looked towards Lu Bai and said, “Juniors from your sect are in there right now, right?”
Lu Bai let out a cold snort and said, “A few of them, indeed.”
Rubbing his chin, Dong Tuodi chuckled cunningly as he turned to Dong Baijie and the others, and said, “Spare no effort to uncover the mysteries of this continent. Remember: should you come across any precious treasures or rare cultivation materials, those who are strong enough to hold on to them should be the keepers.”
Infuriated, Lu Bai blurted, “Dong Tuodi! Are you saying that it’s okay for your juniors to take things from mine?!”
“What if I am?” Dong Tuodi said in a unconstrained manner, turning a blind eye to Lu Bai’s fury. “This floating continent isn’t your sect’s property. You can explore it. Why can’t we?”
Just as Lu Bai was about to refute Dong Tuodi’s statement, it suddenly occurred to him that Pei Qiqi and Nie Tian were still on the floating continent.
The two of them had already killed quite a few juniors from the Poison Sect on this very continent. They had apparently considered it their private territory.
Lu Bai thought that if the juniors from the Dong Clan and the Water Moon Chamber of Commerce entered the deepest parts of the continent, they would probably also encounter Pei Qiqi and Nie Tian.
He started wondering what would happen to them if they did...
Having reached this point in his train of thought, Lu Bai masked his fury with a composed expression, and then with a gentle nod, he said, “Alright, let their strength speak for themselves.”
“That’d be the best.” With these words, Dong Tuodi waved at the juniors from the Realm of a Hundred Battles.
Upon receiving his consent, the juniors turned around and headed towards the depths of the floating continent.
At the heart of the forest, a number of dead bodies were scattered around on the ground.
Zhang Jiu’s gentle smile gradually faded away as beads of sweat started to appear on his forehead.
Within such a short time, six of his fellow sect members who were also at the Greater Heaven stage had been slaughtered by the joint efforts of Nie Tian and Pei Qiqi.
Pei Qiqi had constantly switched back and forth among her illusions, avoiding a head-on confrontation with Jin Lin or Sha Cheng. She had only launched attacks when it had been necessary to kill the early and middle Greater Heaven stage Poison Sect disciples.
No one had been able to identify Pei Qiqi’s real self from the few dozen illusions, much less launch effective attacks.
As for the other one, Nie Tian, he had traveled in the dark like a ghost.
He had seldom revealed himself, yet whenever he had, one of Zhang Jiu’s Poison Sect companions died in the next moment.
Everything seemed to have happened in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Jiu suddenly found the situation he was currently in very similar to earlier when he and Sha Cheng had been forced to split up and escape in different directions.
The only difference was that, other than the two of them, they had one more person on their team, Jin Lin.
Fuming with fury, Jin Lin thundered, hoping to provoking Nie Tian to come out from the dark, “Sneaky little bastard! I dare you to come out and fight me in a fair fight!”
