Chapter 442: Obtaining Fortune From Disaster (2/2)

A dim grey energy blade sliced past Mo Wuji’s previous position; even the space around that position seemed to tremble. This was the longest Yin Fire Centipede he encountered since he came to the Immortal Chasm; it was close to 60 meters long.

Mo Wuji stood in the distance unmoving. He knew he couldn’t move; both the pressures from the Yin Fire Centipede and the Void Toad were pushing down on him.

Mo Wuji didn’t move. Similarly, the Void Toad and the Yin Fire Centipede didn’t move. The three parties seemed to be glancing towards one another. Mo Wuji was very clear, if he were to move, the two demonic beasts would immediately attack him together.

Just like that, time passed slowly. Mo Wuji could feel more Colourless Leeches gathering nearby; his heart was filled with anxiety.

He had been in the Immortal Chasm for one and a half months. Even though he had the defenses from his Scholar’s Heart, he knew that the Colourless Leeches were very terrifying. The Colourless Leeches here were different from the ones in the Mining Area of Death. These Colourless Leeches didn’t even fear death; as long as there was a human being, they would swarm over in large amounts.

His fire defenses required large amounts of elemental energy; this was inextricably tied to the use of his immortal crystals. If there were too many Colourless Leeches, his defenses might not be able to take it. Even if his defenses could take it, it would be at the expense of copious amounts of immortal crystals, and he did not have many of those.

Another half a day passed. The Colourless Leeches swarmed towards Mo Wuji like moths to a fire. The pressure Mo Wuji felt got heavier and heavier. Just as Mo Wuji decided to risk his life to escape, the Yin Fire Centipede and the Void Toad moved simultaneously.

What infuriated Mo Wuji was that the Yin Fire Centipede and the Void Toad actually decided to join hands to deal with him.

Ten huge boulders were spat out from the Void Toad’s mouth, whizzing towards Mo Wuji. Mo Wuji felt as though the space he was in had been pressed down by these ten boulders. He was actually unable to teleport away.

At almost the same instant the Void Toad spat out the ten boulders, it extended its long grey tongue. Mo Wuji knew what this toad was thinking; it wanted to pull him into his mouth.

The fire around Mo Wuji exploded forth with greater intensity; directly turning all the Colourless Leeches around him into ash. At the same time, he formed over ten lightning swords and his Tian Ji Pole slammed against one of the boulders. He was going to destroy himself a path of retreat.

”Boom!” Mo Wuji’s Tian Ji Pole directly smashed one of the huge boulders into smithereens. The pressure on space finally eased down by a bit. Before Mo Wuji could escape, ten blades of fire raced towards him.

Against expectations, Mo Wuji heaved a sigh of relief. Even though he was trying to find a way out, he had always been worrying about the Yin Fire Centipede. He wasn’t a match for the Void Toad, nor was he a match for the Yin Fire Centipede. He thought that the Yin Fire Centipede work together with the Void Toad and attack him simultaneously. Unexpectedly, the Yin Fire Centipede’s attack was late by a few breath’s of time. Regardless of the reason, this gave him a bit of breathing space, as well as the chance to escape.

Mo Wuji surged with energy. Once again, he swung his pole out. While he was trying to break through the space pressure, he also kept his guards up for the Yin Fire Centipede’s Yin body.

He had suffered under that thing once before. Naturally, he wouldn't be careless.

Indeed, as Mo Wuji’s Tian Ji pole descended, he felt the chill from the Yin energy.

The Yin Centipede was going to attack him. Mo Wuji’s Tian Ji Pole descended, breaking the space pressure from the Void Toad’s boulder. At the same time, he had already prepared his ten over lightning swords, he was not going to let the Yin Centipede stop him from escaping.

”Gua…” The Void Toad uttered another hoarse croak. With his spiritual eye, Mo Wuji discovered that the Yin Fire Centipede’s Yin Centipede wasn’t actually targeting him, but the Void Toad.

At this instant, Mo Wuji finally understood what was going on. No wonder why the Yin Fire Centipede’s first attack had been delayed for a few breaths of time. It was because the Yin Fire Centipede wanted him to stall the Void Toad. From the looks of it, this Yin Fire Centipede’s true target was the Void Toad.

Indeed, a huge hole of blood was torn through the Void Toad’s abdomen by the Yin Centipede.

The Void Toad seemed angered by the betrayal of the Yin Fire Centipede. After another load croak, it suddenly spat out a yellow bead. This yellow bead was around the size of a volleyball.

The bead shot towards the Yin Fire Centipede with intense energy; it was as though the heavens were crumbling and the earths were tearing.

This was the Earth Elemental Bead? Mo Wuji’s heart was filled with shock. The Earth Elemental Bead had actually been refined by this Void Toad and had become its magic treasure.

This was a price magic treasure. Even though Mo Wuji had already gotten rid of the spatial pressure from the Void Toad and could teleport away, he did not move. Mo Wuji’s eyes had already turned red from the Earth Elemental bead. He was also sure that the Yin Fire Centipede was here to snatch the Earth Elemental Bead.

Only a spiritual beast like the Void Toad could find a unique treasure like the Earth Elemental Bead.

”Boom!” The Earth Elemental Bead clashed against the Yin Fre Centipede’s fireballs. Flowers of fire exploded within the Immortal Chasm.

At the instant the Earth Elemental Bead struck the fireballs, Mo Wuji activated his Wind Escape Technique to the max, whistling by like breeze.

The force from the explosion swept outwards. Mo Wuji seemed to be sending himself to get struck; he immediately coughed out a mouthful of blood. Because of the clash with the fireballs, the Earth Elemental Bead was delayed for an instant of time.

That instant was enough for Mo Wuji. The reason why he risked his life was just for this instant. He immediately swept the sluggish Earth Elemental Bead into his storage ring, then he furiously teleported away. At this moment, he had even withdrawn his defenses of fire. He only had a layer of Scholar’s Heart around him as he rapidly teleported away without restraint.
