639 Separation! (1/2)
A few Core Formation realm cultivators hadn't managed to dodge the giant pythons' charging and were instantly swallowed alive. Muffled screams of pain were drowned amidst the corpses' furious howling. The group of cultivators had no choice but to scatter under the attacks of the giant pythons.
Wang Baole did just that as he retreated hastily. A giant python came charging at him from his right, roaring. It seemed like he was going to be swallowed alive. But Wang Baole's strength was akin to that of a Nascent Soul realm cultivator. The Flame Snatch Thearch Armor appeared on him instantly, and his eyes flashed with an icy cold glint as he surged forward instead of retreating, charging straight into the giant python!
The deafening sound of a collision rang out in the air as Wang Baole's Divine Armament arm pierced through the giant python's body upon their collision. He slid around the giant python, then leaped into the air. The giant python's head fell to the ground with a deafening thud.
The python's body continued to wriggle despite the loss of its head, thrashing at Wang Baole. Wang Baole formed a series of hand seals. His tri-colored flying sword came dashing through the air, slicing the python into multiple chunks. Then, the sword came flying back, buzzing as it circled Wang Baole and slashed apart the corpses that came charging at him.
Wang Baole paid no attention to the corpses around him. Instead, he looked around him with a dark expression on his face.
The giant pythons had separated the battlefield into multiple, smaller battlefields. Battle cries continued to rise into the air. Many of the pythons had already been slain by other Nascent Soul realm cultivators. However, there were still some wreaking havoc on the field, and more than a dozen cultivators had since perished.
A fish-scale armor had appeared on Kong Dao. It seemed to have augmented his speed and gifted him semi-transparency. Kong Dao dashed about on the battlefield, fighting alongside a Nascent Soul realm cultivator and slaying another giant python!
We can't keep this up forever. No one's going to make their way out of this alive if we don't do something! Wang Baole's breathing quickened slightly. He approached a few Core Formation realm cultivators and, with a wave of his hand, put down a giant python. Then, he lifted his head abruptly to the sky and stared.
In the skies above, Feng Qiuran and Zhao Yameng were currently surrounded by countless winged beasts. The pair shone with a dazzling light that continued to grow even more blinding. Feng Qiuran suddenly raised the ruler in her hand into the air. Her eyes shone with an intense light as she yelled, ”A hundred thousand feet!”
Feng Qiuran's right hand forcibly slammed the ruler downwards, towards the ground. Zhao Yameng formed a series of hand seals at the same time, unleashing the power of nine hundred and ninety-nine array runes that she had accumulated earlier!
The heavens rumbled, and the earth quaked. Winds howled, and the clouds rolled back. Within a hundred thousand feet of Feng Qiuran, all corpses and beasts, including pythons and black-robed zombies alike, shook violently. It was as if a sudden incredible force had descended from the heavens and crushed everything in sight!
Within the hundred thousand feet of land, explosions rumbled, and everything turned to dust. Everything living was wiped out. Zhao Yameng's array formation intensified the attack and pushed the shock waves further outwards, reaching nearly three hundred thousand feet. It was as if a gigantic hand had reached out from the cracks in the earth and wiped out everything!
The monsters in the sky were Feng Qiuran's and Zhao Yameng's primary targets. The area of attack spread much further in the air!
”Quick, go!” The lands rumbled, and everything turned to dust. Feng Qiuran grabbed Zhao Yameng and raced off into the distance as she shouted frantically.
The rest needed no reminder from Feng Qiuran. They had witnessed their attack earlier, and everyone had been on high alert and ready to run. With the sudden opening presented, as well as the appearance of the next horde of enemies in the horizon hundreds of thousands of feet away—already charging towards them—they dashed out immediately and sped off.
Wang Baole did the same. He leaped into the air and pulled Kong Dao along with him. The group was about to make use of the cleared battlefield to make an escape when suddenly, another rumbling roar rang out from the caved-in ground, where the dozens of giant pythons had emerged.
The ground sank further in before it erupted. A huge crevice appeared in the earth, and a fierce howl, striking terror in everyone's hearts, rang out from its depths.
The howling was accompanied by the sound of chains clanking. An enormous blank hound, partially decomposed, charged out from the crevice rapidly. It appeared in mid-air in the next instant and snapped its jaws shut, catching and gobbling up a Nascent Soul realm and three other Core Formation realm cultivators instantly!
