873 Mysterious Girl (1/2)
As the scenery transformed, turning into a scene of bleak autumn, He Zhi Qiu's body swelled rapidly like a balloon, his black hair flowing behind him in a wild manner. His face was filled with chilly killing intent, the colors of autumn surging from him endlessly!
Jun Mo Xie instantly understood: He Zhi Qiu's 'Ten Thousand Li Sorrowful Autumn' not only had a supernatural infectious ability on other people's emotions, it also allowed him to draw out the lifeforce of all the green plants for his own use when the skill was active.
This meant that he could constantly replenish his strength at any time. In that way, he was practically in an invincible position! But his opponent did not have such an advantage. So even if their strengths were comparable at the start, if they fought on like this, the victor would be easily determined as the fight went on. Or perhaps one could say, that the longer the fight went on, the greater his advantage would grow!
Bai Qi Feng's white robes billowed impressively as he raised his voice and shouted: ”Good skill! Impressive! What a good Ten Thousand Li Sorrowful Autumn! Now, take a look at my 'Grotesque Peak Thrusting Into The Sky, Ten Thousand Rugged Ravine'!”
His hands moved rapidly, and Bai Qi Feng's body was hidden into a storm. It was as if he'd completely disappeared. Instead, the ground suddenly became uneven, and patches of small mountains grew out of the ground. Each mountain had sharp peaks, with sheer precipices. At the same time, countless huge rocks rained down from the sky!
”Ten thousand li of autumn, endless scenery; how could a mere pile of rocks and mud be enough to cover it? Preposterous!” He Zhi Qiu scoffed coldly. The autumn winds rose up, and only a bleak desolation remained as far as the eyes could see!
Although Bai Qi Feng had also activated his unique ability and also ignited the unique Power of Heaven and Earth that he'd comprehended, creating a huge transformation, he was still obviously disadvantaged in this fight!
After activating Ten thousand Li of Autumn, He Zhi Qiu obviously had the upper hand.
In the instant their bodies clashed together, they both disappeared into the special terrain they created. But against the impressive power of autumn, Bai Qi Feng's grotesque peaks were suppressed heavily, and he could only hold on with great effort.
Bai Qi Feng was not the only person who knew this; the other Saint Emperors at the side could also see it clearly.
With five Saint Emperors of the Misty Illusory Manor here, just any one of them joining the fight would be enough to turn Bai Qi Feng's situation around with ease. It wouldn't be a difficult thing to invert defeat into victory. But a fight between Saint Emperors was something that affected one's reputation and prestige. No matter what, it was inappropriate to interfere. Both sides would definitely be unable to accept a result like that, especially the losing side; they would rather be killed in battle than accept help!
Although Bai Qi Feng had fallen into a clear disadvantage here, he was still a long way away from being defeated. But if he wanted to turn the situation around, the only person who could interfere, would be the other person whom he was fighting alongside with this time, Cao Guo Feng! No one else!
As expected, Cao Guo Feng streaked across the sky with a loud shrilling sound behind him!
Cao Guo Feng who had always been experienced and steady, had not exerted his full strength against his opponent just now. Although the alliance between the three Holy Lands and Misty Illusory Manor had gone south, the two sides' relationship had not dropped to the point of being enemies. So in the fight just now, he'd always been displaying a strength equal to his opponent. Otherwise, with his third level Saint Emperor cultivation, while he might not be able to defeat Hai Wu Ya quickly, he would undoubtedly be able to maintain a position of absolute dominance once he used his full strength!
But in this moment, Bai Qi Feng was already completely suppressed by He Zhi Qiu, and it was difficult for the situation to be reversed by himself. Furthermore, He Zhi Qiu now harbored great hatred towards Bai Qi Feng. As long as there was an opportunity, he would definitely not permit Bai Qi Feng to live! One could say that although Cao Guo Feng and Hai Wu Ya were similarly fighting now. They could only be considered to be sparring with each other. However, Bai Qi Feng and He Zhi Qiu were truly engaged in a battle of life and death!
In such a high intensity situation, death could occur at any moment!
Left with no choice and afraid that anything would happen to Bai Qi Feng, Cao Guo Feng could only use his true abilities! Because only by defeating Hai Wu Ya quickly could he go and rescue Bai Qi Feng!
In the moment that Cao Guo Feng exploded with his full strength, the battle changed shockingly in an instant!
It was no longer a fight for pride anymore. Rather, it'd become a true fight for life or death! The life and death fight between the three Holy Lands and the Misty Illusory Manor!
”Brother Hai, forgive me!” Cao Guo Feng's voice rang out, and the winds and clouds instantly grew turbulent. As his body moved, the entire sky was suddenly filled with Cao Guo Feng's afterimages! Waves of powerful oppressive might pressed down, and Hai Wu Ya instantly felt his body grow stiff, and just moving his body became hard!
Hai Wu Ya also shouted loudly, using his strongest Xuan ability to break free. On the other side, He Zhi Qiu who was in the clear advantage, suddenly laughed aloud, and the two rushed towards each other.
Hai Wu Ya scoffed with disdain, and raised his head with extreme anger. ”Misty Illusory Manor, so it's true that you're trying to kill the both of us here! Cao Guo Feng, you've finally revealed the true intentions of your Misty Illusory Manor! The two of us will not stay around to entertain you anymore! As for those weapons and random items, you can keep them to play, haha… as high as the mountains and as long as rivers, we will ultimately meet again!”
Two shadows flashed and disappeared amidst the laughter, a loud boom rang out, and the lotus pond at the side of the battlefield which hadn't been used for a long time suddenly exploded, sending the countless amounts of dirt and mud which had been accumulating at the bottom of the pond for several hundred years into the sky. Like a huge curtain of water and mud, it fell down and covered the entire area!
Everyone in the area were immediately faced with the danger of being pelted by the dirt!
Hai Wu Ya and He Zhi Qiu both laughed aloud coldly, and after that, there was no more sound. Quite clearly, these two had set off this blast as an evil move to get one last strike back and use it as a cover for themselves to retreat!
The both of them were old demons who'd already lived for several hundred years. How would they possibly behave so rashly as to continue fighting a battle without any chances of victory? This matter was still only considered as a test to see what the Misty Illusory Manor's attitude towards the Holy Lands was. If Cao Guo Feng and Bai Qi Feng really moved to kill them, that would be the most concrete proof of the Misty Illusory Manor's wild ambition! At that time, the two of them would immediately escape the encirclement at all costs!
In truth, they'd already left this path of retreat the moment they came here! The spiciest ginger was still the old ones!
Comparing schemes and planning, the Misty Illusory Manor which had secluded itself away from the world for so many years was still much weaker!
But while they went all out to escape, the people from the Misty Illusory Manor hadn't actually moved to pursue or kill them! Even Bai Qi Feng only wanted to teach them a harsh lesson, and had never once thought about killing them!
Now that they've left so suddenly, the fight had ended. When the report was sent back, the misunderstanding between the three Holy Lands and Misty Illusory Manor would no longer have any possibility of being resolved!
With the departure of the two Saint Emperors, the relationship between the four factions were completely shattered!
At this time, Young Master Jun who was well within the range of the sludge and dirty waters' downpour was staring with wide eyes and open mouth with shock!
Cao Guo Feng and the rest had all kinds of marvelous techniques which they could use to shield themselves from the dirt. They also had amazing movement techniques which they could use to dodge, so they naturally had nothing to be worried about. But Young Master Jun couldn't! He had been watching the show, waiting for a scene where both parties killed each other or were ridden with injuries, with the intent of going forward to take advantage of the situation.
