209 Chanting the scripture Scriptures! (1/2)
The middle-aged black-robed man's body blurred. His attention was no longer on Zhuo Yifan. He dashed towards Zhao Yameng, swift like the fall of lightning. However, as he approached, Wang Baole yelled. The latter was prepared to recite the scripture's line, regardless of whether it worked or not, to stop the man from getting closer.
He didn't have the chance to say a word. The moment the middle-aged black-robed man approached, Zhao Yameng's tightly shut eyes opened abruptly. They glowed with a blue light which exploded into an ocean of blue, and surged towards the approaching man as if to pull him under!
The intensity of the blue light was too great. As it spread outwards, thundering, all the assimilated cultivators started trembling. They shriveled on the spot as if cleansed of all life, turning into dust within the blink of an eye!
Wang Baole had been standing behind Zhao Yameng, but he didn't escape unscathed. His body shook, and he could barely form the words of the scripture. He grabbed hold of Zhuo Yifan, who, weakened and barely recovered from his earlier episode, had instantly blacked out, and retreated hastily. They barely managed to escape the full onslaught of the attack.
Both of their ultimate attacks can't be controlled! Wang Baole twitched with fear. He was thankful that they hadn't used such attacks on him previously; otherwise, he worried that he might have been killed by them both then…
In reality, Zhao Yameng in that state wasn't conscious, and Wang Baole was well aware of that.
Under the cast of the blue light, the surrounding walls of the tree hollow started shriveling and drying up. It was as if they were being forced to age rapidly. The pain from his true form reached the middle-aged black-robed man at that moment, and he started shaking, the expression on his face gruesome. He roared and pressed forcibly against the ocean of blue light, his hand clawing viciously at Zhao Yameng's face.
”Die!”
Wang Baole watched as the scene unfolded and panic rose in his heart. He grit his teeth and started reciting.
”As it is…”
As he spoke the first few words, Zhao Yameng, with blue light flooding out from her eyes, suddenly opened her mouth wide and let out a sound so piercing it shook the heavens and earth. The scream rang loudly across all directions!
The scream was shrill beyond measure, and as it rang out, a buzzing sound exploded in Wang Baole's head. Blood started dripping from his eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. If not for the devouring seed churning fiercely within him, he would have passed out.
Even though Zhuo Yifan was unconscious, his body trembled and blood seeped out from between his lips. They weren't even standing directly before the aural force but hidden behind Zhao Yameng.
The middle-aged black-robed man, who stood in front of Zhao Yameng, took the onslaught of her aural attack head-on. The look on his face changed drastically, and his breathing quickened as blood spilled from his lips. Then, the hand he had outstretched towards Zhao Yameng exploded. He retreated rapidly, unwilling to remain in the vicinity of Zhao Yameng in her aggressive state.
”Damn it! Damn it!” The man retreated, staggering. His disintegrated right hand regenerated swiftly, but the pain and humiliation of losing a hand drove him into a rage.
He never would have thought that a cultivator at the perfected Foundation Establishment realm like himself would be helpless against a True Breath realm cultivator.
All mutants are nut bags. A destructive power rests within them. One that, once awakened, even I can't survive it! Following the black-robed man's retreat, and as Zhao Yameng's screams echoed through the air, the walls of the tree hollow—having shriveled under the onslaught of the waves of light blue—could take it no longer. They cracked and fractured into pieces!
The fracturing wasn't contained within a small area but spread across the entire tree hollow. In that instant, it exploded. Everything turned into dust. The surrounding earth also couldn't withstand the attack and exploded outward into the air.
From afar, one could hear a rumbling from the center of the Coulomb Basin. Very quickly, the earth started to shake, then, it exploded, sending dirt and earth everywhere. Screams resounded in the air as blue light spilled out from the cracks in the earth.
It was noon, and the sun was shining brightly. As the opening in the ground appeared following the collapse of the tree hollow, sunlight spilled underground. Wang Baole could see the light of day!
It was then that Zhao Yameng, after her fearsome attack, exhausted herself completely. Her body grew limp, and she fell into unconsciousness. The blue light and the sound waves immediately vanished.
It was during that moment, as the black-robed man retreated and Zhao Yameng fell unconscious, that Wang Baole dashed out with his quick reflexes. Grabbing Zhuo Yifan in one hand and Zhao Yameng in the other, he leaped upwards, jumping off the surrounding earth and rocks and following the path of the explosion towards the opening in the ground. He charged out from underground and escaped from the inside of the giant tree!
Without pausing for breath, Wang Baole panted heavily and dashed forward. He pulled out his voice transmission ring hurriedly and called for help from the college. That time, he received a reply.
”Give us another thirty minutes, we'll be there!”
