Chapter 573: Turbulences Rise Again (2/2)
Yang Kan and the others arrived.
“The Dong Clan.” With a nasty grin, Yang Kan unleashed his psychic awareness to scan the vicinity. Convinced that the other groups weren’t anywhere nearby, he put his heart at ease and waved at the people standing behind him. “Alright guys, we need to finish them off as quickly as possible. Otherwise, it’s gonna be a lot harder when the people from the Ice Pavilion Sect, the Yin Sect, the Yang Sect, and the other forces from the Realm of a Hundred Battles arrive.”
Zhang Jiu agreed by saying, “Exactly. If we can finish them off now, we’ll have much less pressure dealing with the other forces. As for that Nie Tian, as powerful as he might be, I doubt that he’d be able to turn the situation around by himself. Not to mention that the outsiders must have got him good. His battle prowess must have dropped greatly now. He’ll probably just be another piece of meat on our plate.”
Everyone around him nodded in assent.
“Yang Kan!!” Dong Baijie shouted furiously.He was instantly wreathed in a fierce, bloody aura, and a huge gray wolf rapidly came to form in the air behind him.
Its every hair could be seen with great clarity, and they trembled slightly as it threw its head back and howled into the heavens. As it did, its aura surged like an ocean in storm.
After sensing Dong Baijie and his beast spirit’s overwhelming auras, Yang Kan’s expression instantly grew grim.
The pressure he was feeling now was completely different from when he had single-handedly dealt with Dong Li and Dong Baijie in the colorful band.
Back then, Dong Baijie had been at the middle Greater Heaven stage. He had recently advanced to the late Greater Heaven stage, and his battle prowess had gained a strong boost from his mysterious discoveries on that other island.
At the same time, Dong Li summoned her black phoenix and, with its help, soared up into the sky.
Compared to Dong Baijie, Dong Li, who had refined the essence of the eighth grade black phoenix’s corpse into herself, didn’t seem any weaker. Streams of dark spiritual aura swam across her milky-white skin as they wreathed her curvaceous body.
“Kill them all!” Yang Kan called out.
A fierce battle broke out upon his words.
Yang Kan, Zhang Jiu, Lu Jian, and their people instantly pounced on the Dong Clan members, as well as Qin Yan and Feng Ying.
Meanwhile, the disciples of the Thunder Mountain Sect and the Heaven Expanse Sect were rushing to this place after chasing down and killing all the other Water Moon Chamber of Commerce members.
At this moment, Su Lin, who had given consent for her senior martial brothers from the Heaven Palace Sect to join the battle, arrived.
She was shocked as soon as she caught sight of the huge black phoenix and gray wolf. With the Heaven Palace Sect’s unique magic, she examined them from afar. Soon, her eyebrows slowly furrowed. “Such strong auras!”
Dong Baijie and Dong Li’s fierce and explosive auras didn’t seem to belong to cultivators who were only at the late Greater Heaven stage. Instead, they even looked as formidable as a couple of Worldly realm experts.
Su Lin was well-aware that her battle prowess was limited, and thus instead of rushing onto the battlefield, she observed from the side.
As the battle went on, her eyes switched back and forth among the members from the different forces. The longer she observed, the more shocked she became.
Not only was Yang Kan, who was caught between the Greater Heaven stage and the Worldly realm, failing to subdue Dong Baijie, but he was even gradually falling into a disadvantaged position.
After losing his six crimson stone columns to Nie Tian and with his cultivation base in an awkward position, Yang Kan seemed to have lost his trump cards to win a battle.
Dong Baijie, however, summoned a greenish-black spiked club into his hand. As he brandished it with great force, his huge, gray wolf unleashed its bloodthirsty and violent nature, forcing Yang Kan to focus on defense.
Meanwhile, Zhang Jiu and Lu Jian had teamed up on Dong Li, but the two of them didn’t seem to be able to handle her.
Like a phoenix that soared in the highest heavens, Dong Li sailed through the air and cast profound spells down on Zhang Jiu and Lu Jian. Bitter expressions appeared on their faces as they exerted themselves to defend against her storm of attacks.
Due to the rise of Dong Li and Dong Baijie, they seemed to gain a noticeable upper hand in this battle of chosen ones.
In contrast, the disciples of the Flame God Sect, the Spirit God Sect, and the Poison Sect seemed to be pressing down on the other Dong Clan members. One of the Dong Clan members had his soul breached by a discarnate soul while trying to protect Feng Ying. The discarnate soul rapidly gnawed his soul away and killed him.
With a deep sigh, Su Lin muttered, “Things are completely out of my control now. I just hope that Nie Tian has indeed suffered serious injuries and can’t join this battle.”
At that moment, the people from the Thunder Mountain Sect and the Heaven Expanse Sect rushed onto the battlefield, joining the others in attacking Qin Yan, Feng Ying, and the other Dong Clan members.
Their arrival instantly gave them an overwhelming advantage in the ongoing battle. Even though Dong Baijie and Dong Li’s performances were still outstanding, they wouldn’t be able to win the battle when they were outnumbered by their enemies by such a great margin.
Gradually, Dong Baijie and Dong Li started to feel the pressure as the other Dong Clan members struggled and suffered more and more injuries.
It seemed that they would lose the battle before the other forces could arrive. However, just as a Thunder Mountain Sect disciple attempted to cast a thunderball towards Feng Ying, something strange happened.
