944 Black Wind Canyon (1/2)

Chapter 944 - Black Wind Canyon

”This next move will force you to use the array. Then, the next time I meet you will be your death.”

Sacred Lord Black Demon gave a wicked laughter. He was like a peerless Demonic God as he stood in the world of darkness.

Zhao Feng had a grim expression. He indeed hadn't thought that Sacred Lord Black Demon would have a rare treasure that could allow him to adapt to this ancient dimension.

This obviously wasn't the first time the Crown Prince trial was being held. Back in the day, the pressure of this ancient dimension was probably even stronger, so the peak forces of the continent had started to develop something in order to deal with it. A treasure that could allow someone to adapt to the ancient dimension had most likely only appeared during the last couple trials.

Furthermore, this wasn't something that any random force could have. This meant that the geniuses of the Yu Family, the Tie Family, and some of the other top forces should have this treasure as well. This gave Zhao Feng a warning.

Facing a Sacred Lord of the Demonic Dao who could use 80% of his full battle-power, Zhao Feng wasn't certain he could win even if he used all of his trump cards. He had used too much True Yuan fighting against Sacred Lord Hundred Refined in the Imperial Sky Inheritance, and he exhausted a lot of his Eye Intent to pass through the Imperial Sky Inheritance.

The strength of Nine Darkness Palace wasn't to be underestimated. Sacred Lord Black Demon had definitely prepared a lot, such as the defensive Soul item on his head and the treasure that could allow one to adapt to this ancient dimension. There were also three Quasi-Sacred Lords in his group as well.

The situation was looking very bad for Zhao Feng. Since Zhao Feng was in the range of Sacred Lord Black Demon's Little World, he couldn't use the teleportation skill of his Misty Spatial World either.

Without any hesitation, Zhao Feng used the hidden array within the Dragon Jade.

Weng~~

A complex and profound array spread from the Dragon Jade. Zhao Feng's body was covered in a flash of light before disappearing.

”Hmph, the next time I meet you is when you shall die.” Sacred Lord Black Demon had a cold expression, and the three below felt regretful, but there was nothing they could do about it. There was an array in every single Dragon Jade that could save the user one time.

Within a hidden cave outside the forbidden Black Wind Canyon in the Imperial Tombs, there were four figures.

”Old Ying, what should we do?” the Ninth Prince asked.

”The Wind of Darkness in the Black Wind Canyon has become weaker.” Jing Kai spread his Divine Sense and felt a group of three people enter.

Old Ying's sole eye scanned over the group, and he revealed a helpless expression. Although they had four people here, Zhou Su'er's battle-power was low, and even though Jing Kai seemed steady, he had lost confidence in himself due to the pressure.

This meant that the Ninth Prince couldn't enter with them either. While the princes could use draconic providence to increase their strength and fight against those with higher cultivations, there was no life-saving hidden array in the pseudo Crown Prince Seal. The pseudo Crown Prince Seal could only connect to the Imperial Grand Hall in the outside world, and once a prince used the pseudo Crown Prince Seal to admit defeat or ask for help, the prince and all his team members would lose their right to participate in the Crown Prince trials and would be forced out.

This also meant that the princes were usually the main targets; as soon as they used the pseudo Crown Prince Seal to ask for help, all his team members would be sent out as well.

”Ninth Prince, you can't enter,” Old Ying said in a certain tone.

”I know.” The Ninth Prince obviously understood and felt somewhat helpless.

The princes were the main protagonists in the Crown Prince trial. They had the ability to wield draconic providence, but they were also the main targets of all other forces. If there weren't many opponents, he and Old Ying would be a strong battle-power that could change the tide. However, if there were a lot of enemies around, the Ninth Prince would become a giant target.

”While the difficulty of the Black Wind Canyon has dropped, there's also the fact that Princess Zhou Su'er has already used the array within her Dragon Jade,” Old Ying analyzed and said.

There was only one life-saving array within the Dragon Jade. If someone had already used it and then entered a forbidden place, that was simply courting death.

On top of that Zhou Su'er was just a doctor, not some fighting expert.

”That leaves Old Ying and me.” Jing Kai's expression was grim; he didn't feel confident at all.

Their combined strength was just too low. Putting aside the dangers of the Black Wind Canyon itself, they didn't even have the ability to fight against other groups. There was no point in entering the forbidden grounds either way.

”Why don't we give up on the Black Wind Canyon Forbidden Ground? There's no need to take this risk,” Zhou Su'er suggested.

The Wind of Darkness in the Black Wind Canyon was occasionally strong and occasionally weak, but even the weakened wind was still more difficult than other areas. And since the overall strength of their group was on the weak side, the Ninth Prince couldn't reveal himself.

Just as they were pondering what to do:

Hu~ Weng~~

A light started to flash ahead of the Ninth Prince, and a golden array spread. Everyone's expression was grim – they knew that someone was using the array to escape danger.

”Zhao Feng?” Old Ying and company let out a breath.

Zhou Su'er had already told them about how Zhao Feng had met the group from Nine Darkness Palace. If someone from the third group had to escape something as well, the Ninth Prince's situation would be terrible.
