Chapter 253 (1/2)

Yao Yuan’s expression became cold.

The Golden Flame Chariot had travelled hundreds of millions of li. It had long entered the central region of the Luo Yun Tribe and yet they were ambushed by enemies!

The pursuers must be strong for being able to catch up with the Golden Flame Chariot silently!

Yao Yuan couldn’t identify the three pursuers’ qi that was chasing them!

But those strong demonic qi caused Yao Yuan to mentally tremble.

There’s no mistaking it. The three pursuers behind us are Spirit Severing Realm Demon Generals!

Only when the three pursuers got closer could Yao Yuan identify one of them was the Demon General of the Lie Tu Tribe, Bai Yuan!

The other two pursuers were also from the Lie Tu Tribe!

“The Lie Tu Tribe is really audacious! Sending out three Demon Generals to assassinate General Bei!”

Yao Yuan felt extremely angry. The group of three had silently and patiently followed the chariot for a whole year. In other words, it just showed how determined they were in bringing Lu Bei down!

The incoming party constituted of three Spirit Severing Realm beings, however, on Yao Yuan’s side, there was none.

Moreover, the place they were in was the internal region of Luo Yun Tribe that was far away from the borders where the seven generals of the Luo Yun Tribe were stationed at.

The area within hundreds of thousands of li* surrounding them was deserted. There was not even a single demon city to request for backup.

A place like this was the best place to intercept and assassinate a target…

“Old Yu! Pick up the speed! Whatever happens, do not stop the chariot! We will be killed if we’re overtaken!”

“En!” The driver was a pill master surnamed Yu, who was complaining inwardly.

He would definitely have not joined in this journey if he knew that it was such a perilous journey where they would be ambushed by three Demon Generals!

But there wasn’t any room for regret now. There was only one thing for him to do and that was to run away, run away with all his might!

He didn’t believe that Ning Fan could go against three Demon Generals simultaneously, let alone the strength to withstand one of the them.

Even if Ning Fan possessed a royal bloodline… he was rumored to only be an Early Nascent Soul Realm demon…

As a matter of fact, Yao Yuan and the others had the same thought.

Not only that, the three demon generals that were pursuing the chariot had the same thought too.

The silver-armoured Demon General Bai Yuan snickered while he pursued at a moderate pace.

“Lu Bei? Hmph! The one who has wiped out my Fallen Peak Guards, causing me to lose the battle. I was wondering what kind of person would be so arrogant to even carve his own name at the site of murder. So this is the Lu Bei, the slayer from the Luo Yun Tribe! A ‘hero’ who is now running away just like a stray cur! Laughable! It’s funny that such a person like you could awaken a royal True Spirit Bloodline. It’s even more ridiculous that the Honorable Demon General placed a one hundred million bounty on your head...”

“General Bai, what you said is incorrect. How could you, as a Demon General, question the judgement of our Lord General?! Since he thought that this kid’s life is worth 100 million immortal jade, then it’s not wrong!”

It was the voice of a black-armoured Demon General among the three. His name was Feng Ziqi.

Feng Ziqi was of a different faction from Bai Yuan and he used the Honorable Demon General’s name to rebut Bai Yuan.

Bai Yuan’s gaze became gloomy and he let out a cold snort, not arguing any further.

Then, he shifted his gaze towards the gold-armoured Demon General with a semi-respectful expression said, “We’ve silently followed them for such a long period of time so that we could arrive at this optimal assassination spot. Rumor has it that General Xu Ri possesses half a drop of the Immemorial Fire Phoenix’s Bloodline after the Third Blood Awakening. It has a strong restraint towards fire. General, would you please extinguish the flame of the chariot and stop it at its track!”

“Sure!”

The golden-armoured Demon General was named Xu Ri. Apparently, he was a taciturn person. As his left eye flashed, afiery-red half star emerged.

He pointed his finger from a million li away, aiming directly at the Golden Flame Chariot. The next moment, the chariot shook and its flames dispersed, absorbed by a fire vortex that had appeared out of nowhere, completely extinguishing the flames surrounding the chariot!

The Golden Flame Chariot without the flame was nothing more than a crystal chariot. Its speed began to slow down without its propulsion.

Bai Yuan sneered and slapped on his storage pouch, taking out 6 silver nails which were three cun* long. Tossing them into the air, they transformed into 6 rays of silver threads that tied down the chariot.

The chariot rocked violently once more and was forcefully brought to a halt.

The people on top of the chariot staggered due to the rocking.

In just a single breath, three columns of demonic smoke surrounded the chariot, blocking three directions for them to escape!

Yao Yuan’s expression drastically changed. After the chariot was stopped, there would be no chance for them to get away alive from the pursuit of the three Demon Generals with their strength which would not even stand a chance against one of them.

Yao Yuan knew that he was going to die. So he took a step forward and unsheathed his sword, pointing it at Bai Yuan with a hostile gaze.

“General Bai! You’re a Demon General of the Lie Tu Tribe and yet you dared to trespass the territory of Luo Yun?! Have you forgotten about the agreement that had been signed by all nine tribes that no Demon Generals shall trespass the enemy’s hinterland!”

“Hmph! What qualifications does a mere Mid-Nascent Soul Realm Demon Soldier have to question me?!”

The silver-armoured Bai Yuan took one step forward. As soon as that single step touched the ground, it compressed his aura force, making it as if it was Yao Yuan’s heart which he was stomping upon.

Yao Yuan immediately coughed up blood and retreated backwards. Only by plunging his sword into the ground could he regain his balance. He lifted his head and stared at Bai Yuan in disbelief. A move was all it took for him to be injured critically!

This is the prestige of a Spirit Severing Realm Demon General?!

The might of a single step of a Demon General... A Demon Soldier like me who has experienced hundreds of battles is still unable to withstand even a single of his steps!

“I, Yao Yuan, can die. But General Bei cannot! My comrades, attack!”

Under his word of command, the other 40 demon soldiers leaped up into the skies without considering their own lives.

Even if they were afraid of the enemy, a military order must be obeyed!

“Hmph! Pebbles of the Luo Yun Tribe are always so arrogant. Even if there are 40 soldiers, they are all mere Nascent Soul Realm demons. What is there to be afraid of?!”

Feng Ziqi’s expression became ugly when he saw Bai Yuan injuring a mid-Nascent Soul Realm with just a single step.

Although Feng Ziqi was a Spirit Severing Realm Demon General too, he couldn’t injure a mid-Nascent Soul Realm demon with just a single step from far away!

Actually, Bai Yuan might seem to be punishing the ants of the enemies but he was secretly trying to show off his power to Feng Ziqi.

But Feng Ziqi refused to accept it!

He indeed did not have the strength to injure others with a single step, but his newly acquired Profound Heaven Defective Treasure was extremely powerful. He would have a higher chance of victory if he were to have a life and death battle with Bai Yuan!

Bai Yuan! There’s nothing to be proud of!

“Crouching Tiger Seal! Smash them!”

Feng Ziqi summoned a glossy black iron seal that had cracks all over its surface. But shortly after it had soared to the skies, the heavens trembled. Subsequently, a deafening tiger roar reverberated throughout the skies, nearly shattering the heavens and exposing the void!

The surface of the iron block was carved with 1096 Spirit Seals which caused the treasure to have such terrifying might!

“A Profound Heaven Defective Treasure with 1096 Spirit Seals?! Don’t tell me that the Spirit Seals were engraved by the best spirit augmentation master of our tribe?!”

Bai Yuan couldn’t help but be surprised. He knew for sure that he could not stop and withstand that weapon even with the Profound Heaven Defective Treasures he currently possessed if it were to crash upon him.

Only a spirit augmentation master who has attained 1096 units of demonic power can possibly carve 1096 spirit seals.

Everyone knew that spirit augmentation techniques were extremely hard to learn. For one to be proficient with spirit augmentation, they need to possess magical power at least at the level of Spirit Severing Realm. In the Second World, only one person had managed to achieve such a feat and that person was none other than the Cloud General, Lu Daochen!

The best spirit augmentation master of the Lie Tu Tribe was just a Late Nascent Soul Realm demon. It was rumoured that this person had stopped every spirit augmentation activity and chose to focus solely on cultivation, trying wholeheartedly to break through to the Peak Nascent Soul Realm. It was hard to imagine that he would restart his spirit augmentation activity for Feng Ziqi and to go as far as to carve 1096 Spirit Seals for him…
