Chapter 69: Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm (1/2)
At that moment, the black gourd in Ye Ziming’s hand was shaking uncontrollably. One glance was sufficient to tell that Ye Ziming was doing his best. And yet, for some unknown reason, despite the tremors coming from beneath the Spring of Life, he could not collect it.
“Everyone, be careful! There is a big problem!” A look of seriousness suddenly appeared on Ye Ziming’s face.
“What big problem? If I had known you won’t be able to handle it, I would have taken action myself,” Chen Feng snapped. At that moment, his body had fallen into a weakened state and enemies were moving in to surround them. Should any issues arise from Ye Ziming’s side, they can forget about leaving the place alive.
“Ye Ziming, didn’t you say you have a way for us to leave this place? Hurry up and use it. We cannot hold on any longer. If those guys attack us one more time, all three of us will die!” Lu Ta cried out as well.
“Ha ha ha, the three of you actually think you can still leave? How laughable! Given the number of cultivators here, if you three can still escape, how will we face others in the future?” said Blood Profound Daoist with a sneer.
“Kids, as long as you hand over all your treasures, I guarantee I will allow you to leave with your lives intact. I can even accept you all as disciples,” said White Spectre.
“You want to be our master? You are not worthy!” Chen Feng gritted his teeth and shouted back.
“You are courting death! If that is how you want it, then go die!” Both Black Spectre and White Spectre made their way towards Chen Feng’s group. White-coloured energy streams emanated out of White Spectre’s body while black-coloured energy streams emanated out from Black Spectre’s body. The two energy streams suddenly merged together before expanding outwards, creating a powerful atmosphere, which forced the others to retreat.
“That is the Black White Limitless Array. Everyone, hurry up and run. It is said that they had used this secret technique to fight against a Sky Human stage expert before!”
Do I have to hide inside the Longevity Tower? If I do that, the Longevity Tower’s existence will be exposed. Chen Feng anxiously considered.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, a sky-shaking roar reverberated out from the centre of the Spring of Life. A powerful soundwave spread outwards, causing Chen Feng’s group of three to immediately bleed from every orifice. Their blood roiled about and they were forced to back away.
Next, a silvery-white wyrm shot out from the Spring of Life. After emerging, its long body circled about and snatched away the black gourd in Ye Ziming’s hand. Then, it opened its mouth and released a bellow, which caused hurricanes to form all around them. Some of the surrounding cultivators were swept into the hurricanes as a result.
“What is this?” Chen Feng did his best to steady his body amidst the raging winds. He could feel a formidable force pressing down on him. It was a feeling unlike anything he had ever encountered. Compared to this aura bearing down on him, the other yao beasts that he had previously encountered were like docile kittens.
Ten-metre long, flashing with silvery light, sporting a purple-coloured horn on its head, a wyrm had appeared.
“You annoying humans again? You dare disturb my sleep? Not a single one of you can hope to leave today. All of you will become my food!” Shockingly, the wyrm was uttering words in the human language.
“It can converse using human language? This is super bad! That is a Great Yao!” Ye Ziming shouted.
“That is a Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm, a variant beast. To think that it would appear here. Was it the one who had created the Spring of Life?”
“Great Yao, a Great Yao! Hurry, run!”
The surrounding cultivators finally reacted. Some, who were quick to react, had hastily turned around and dashed off. If their opponent was a yao beast, they could at least depend on their advantage in numbers to fight it. However, seeing the emergence of a Great Yao, not a single one of them had any thoughts of fighting it. Under such circumstances, being able to escape with their life intact was a blessing.
“Brother Chen, Brother Lu, hold on just a little longer. We will be booking it out immediately!” Ye Ziming shouted before waving his hand, sending eight colourful flags out, inserting them into the ground around the three of them. Next, the flags created whistling sounds as they emanated a peculiar power, which rose to the sky. After that, the space around them began to tremble ceaselessly and a crack suddenly appeared in mid-air to reveal grey-coloured energy streams.
“That is a spatial array! Those three want to use a spatial array to escape!”
“A spatial array, you are thinking of escaping? Not so quick!” The Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm scoffed and a purple-coloured thunderbolt shot out from the purple-coloured horn on its head. Instantly, two of the flags were struck and reduced to ashes.
Losing the two flags instantly affected the spatial array and it began showing signs of instability. The spatial rift that had just opened up was closed.
“Not good!” Ye Ziming’s face became highly contorted and he pulled out another two flags, which he inserted into the ground. By then, however, the Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm had arrived before them. Its long body coiled around all three of them.
It was then that Chen Feng decided to utilize the Longevity Tower. Chen Feng had judged that the probability of dealing with the Great Yao using the Overwhelming Astral Sword was close to zero.
Sou!
A dark-yellow light flashed out and a shabby-looking little tower emerged from between Chen Feng’s brows. Then, it expanded in size before gently encasing the nearby Purplebolt Silverlight Wyrm, sucking the wyrm into itself.
The scene immediately fell into a state of silence. The Great Yao that had been, just moments ago, sending tidal waves around while overturning the clouds had been suppressed by a tower.
“Hurry up and get us out of here!” Chen Feng shouted before sending the tower to cover the Spring of Life. Before Chen Feng could use his divine sense to give it the command, the tower had taken the initiative to exert a suction force, sucking up the entire Spring of Life into the tower. After that, only a big hole was left on the ground.
