818 Sneak Attack! (2/2)
The sheer thought of being robbed of their military resources sent spikes of pain through his heart. He growled and sent his Divine Sense surging outward again, extending them towards the warehouse. He needed to see it with his own spiritual eyes.
It was then that Wang Baole's avatar looked up suddenly, a black dagger appearing in his hand. If not for the fact that everyone could see it clearly with their eyes, no one would've realized or registered its sudden appearance. Wang Baole's avatar plunged the dagger straight into the elder's thigh!
The strange dagger self-destructed and, with the force of the explosion, blew apart the protections enveloping the elder and pierced straight into his physical body. Poison surged into the elder's body through the wound. Everything had happened so quickly that no one had been prepared for it at all. The late-stage Spirit Immortal realm elder's eyes widened with shock and fury, and rage erupted from his person as he turned his face skyward and howled furiously. He unleashed his full cultivation, summoning a tornado that enveloped Wang Baole's avatar.
The attack turned Wang Baole's avatar to dust, and an uproar swept across the crowd of Never-Ending Clan cultivators around the elder. Wang Baole's primary avatar, the one he had first created with his essence technique, stood amongst the other Never-Ending Clan cultivators, looking equally stunned and furious. The elder continued howling, and his cultivation-powered tornadoes continued rampaging within the hall. As everyone descended into frenzied madness, a series of loud explosions suddenly sounded in the air.
The earth seemed to be swaying, the camp shaking. The sound of explosions rose from multiple locations, the force of which rippled across the camp. Multiple waves of spirit energy collided and merged into greater waves of spirit energy, culminating in an incredible force that sent the earth shaking and the skies quaking. Four army spheres blew apart and plunged from the skies, shattering upon impact as they crashed to the ground!
The camp descended into unprecedented chaos. Amidst the chaos, a Never-Ending Clan cultivator rushed towards the late-stage Spirit Immortal realm cultivator with an anxious look on his face. While the latter was still reeling back in shock at the destruction caused by the series of explosions around him and from the destruction of multiple army spheres, the Never-Ending Clan cultivator pulled out a black dagger and lunged straight at the Spirit Immortal realm cultivator.
”Another sneak attack?” The Spirit Immortal realm elder snapped his head back. His eyes were glimmering with murder as he shot his right hand out and caught the attacker. It was then that another Never-Ending Clan cultivator came charging at him, whipping out another black dagger and thrusting it towards him!
That was hardly the end of it. Some distance away, a fourth Never-Ending Clan cultivator turned raving mad all of a sudden. Instead of charging at the elder and attempting to assassinate him, he turned the other way and started running. He was trying to escape amidst the chaos that had descended upon the camp.
The series of shocking events sent the other Never-Ending Clan cultivators reeling. They were still in the midst of a stunned daze. They had just witnessed repeated assassination attempts, followed by an attempted escape. They howled furiously and started going after the cultivator who was trying to escape without even thinking.
The elder had crushed the avatar that he had caught earlier and had similarly exterminated the third avatar that had tried to creep up on him. He looked up and stared at the back of the cultivator currently running away in the distance… Never-Ending Clan cultivators were charging past him in pursuit. Suddenly, a Never-Ending Clan cultivator in their midst pulled out a black dagger and thrust it at the elder!
The sneak attack caught the elder by surprise, despite the latter being on guard. The dagger sliced into his arm. The elder lifted his face skyward and unleashed a terrifying roar as fresh poison flooded into his body.
”I'm going to kill you!” He no longer cared if he was killing his own. Tornadoes rose around him and wiped out all Never-Ending Clan cultivators that dared come near him. All that remained in a thousand-foot radius around him was blood and death. The elder charged out and started going after the escaping cultivator. The remaining Never-Ending Clan cultivators reeled back in horror at the mass destruction that had just occurred. No one dared to approach the elder.
Wang Baole's primary avatar was still hidden amongst these cultivators. The earlier five avatars had been lesser avatars, those of his primary avatar. His primary avatar had a look of terror on his face. He was quivering in fear and shock alongside his comrades. Privately though, Wang Baole was brimming with a sense of smugness. The Spirit Immortal realm Never-Ending Clan cultivator might be powerful, but he wasn't very smart. Wang Baole secretly formed a hand seal.
The remaining self-exploding beads that he had hidden in the camp… exploded instantly. The explosions shook the heavens and earth. Three army spheres caved in and went crashing to the ground. This appeared to be an attempt to stop the Spirit Immortal realm cultivator from continuing his pursuit…
The Spirit Immortal realm cultivator became increasingly relentless in the face of the increasing number of obstacles in his way. He had thrown everything to the wind in his pursuit and thus caught up instantly!
”Die!”
