Chapter 457: Moving Alone

Translator: Radiant Editor: Radiant

The Bloodshed God Palace Battle was finally underway.

A group of six Deity experts was currently assaulting a black venomous bug. Particles were forming in the surrounding space which would crumble ever so often at times; other times, it was cut… The six experts were putting all their power and techniques on display, leading the black venomous bug to howl and struggle. Its injuries were getting more serious by the second before a thin sword finally pierced its body, out of which fresh blood spurted out. At that point, the venomous bug finally stopped struggling, though the other five experts quickly followed with a few more strikes.

The six experts then looked up at the enormous blood-colored list which now contained a total of 191 names, with new names appearing ever so often.

“Haha, fellow gentlemen, my luck was good enough to net me the last hit on that venomous bug.” A rangy man holding onto two swords laughed. “It’s only by teaming together that we’ll have any hope to net a place in the top hundred. If each of us were to move alone, we’d all likely take spots lower even than the 500th! Instead, you can all see that Brother Ni is ranked 15th, while I am already in the top 200.”

“Alright, alright. It’s too early to celebrate; we four have yet to enter the list.”

One’s rank was determined by how many fatal blows they landed on venomous bug!

“Let’s keep going. I don’t think our luck can be this poor.”

“Continue.”

The six went on to seek more venomous bugs to kill.

In the air some three mountains away, Xue Ying was also looking for venomous bugs. He glanced over to the side, where he saw those six Deity experts killing a bug together. Are they some of those Deities with weaker combat power? They’re likely aware that it would be impossible for them to get spots in the top hundred if they were to move alone, so they chose to act together.

I should avoid them. Xue Ying was on full alert. With so many Deity experts acting all around, he had to be incredibly wary of any who might have grasped grade one Deity Hearts! If he wasn’t careful, he’d be killed and sent back immediately.

The records marked at least one instance of an expert with huge combat power being killed prematurely by a group of Deities during every single Myriad Flower Feast.

However, even if he carefully avoided them, how fast would a group of Deities rushing over to him be?

Hong hong hong~

Just as the three bodies of Xue Ying were attacking a venomous bug together, space suddenly distorted, and a group of figures flashed twice before appearing at the mountain where Xue Ying was.

This group of Deity experts had a total of eight members!

“He is Calm Sea Prefecture’s Dong Bo! Kill him!”

“Kill.”

The eight Deities sent out attacks without a trace of hesitation.

One of them, a gray-robed man, extended both his hands, which caused the surrounding space to as if turning into an endless quagmire. Invisible waves enveloped their surrounding, making it hard to see. This force permeated the Mirage, the Shadow Space, and the real world; nothing could resist it. It even affected Xue Ying’s true body which was hiding in the Mirage, which served to greatly shock him.

“I’ve found his true body.” Of this group of experts, only the gray-robed man was able to discover Xue Ying’s true body. He had just easily dealt with his concealment.

“Kill.” A thunder blade moved through the sky along an arc, pierced the void, and finally reached Xue Ying.

“Go.” Countless densely interwoven strands of white web were also sent over to envelop Xue Ying’s position.

“Extinguish.” A dazzling light condensed and converged on Xue Ying’s position from every direction.

All those Deity experts were simultaneously displaying their offensive skills.

Shua.

Xue Ying was so frightened that, without a second thought, he immediately switched positions with one of his mirage bodies.

Sou sou sou…

With the help of his mirage bodies, Xue Ying rapidly shifted his position all around as he fled with great speed! It was very difficult to predict where his true body was at any moment, since his mirage bodies could appear at any spot with a single thought from his part.

“There, there, here.” The gray-robed man was able to sense every switch of Xue Ying’s true body with his mirage bodies, but the offensive techniques of the others could not so easily follow his instructions. In the end, they could only watch Xue Ying escape with their eyes wide.

“That Dong Bo’s Mirage secret skill makes him truly formidable. It’s not such an easy thing to kill him.”
