Chapter 716 Abyss (1/2)
“That’s just a warning,” Chen Feng said coolly before flying off again. This time, Tie Liuzhi no longer had the courage to give chase. That was suicide.
I suppose it’s just bad luck on my part. Though, I can also be considered lucky. It appears the other fellow is not some bloodthirsty character. Tie Liuzhi shook his head.
Sou! Sou! Sou!
One attack after another pierced through the sky to arrive before him in an instant. The three Chang Brothers and the Silver-armoured Gale Wolf had caught up to him.
What bad luck! In the end, I only managed to obtain two Deathstill Fruits. Not to mention, I had even provoked the three Chang Brothers. Tie Liuzhi shook his head again. The expression on his face flickered for a moment before his figure quickly dashed away.
“You’re thinking of leaving? If you don’t hand over the Deathstill Fruits, we brothers will chase you to the ends of the earth. Even after leaving this Ancient Battlefield of Immortal Humans, we brothers will continue to hunt you down!” the three brothers howled.
“Humph, do you fellows think that I am afraid of you? If you have what it takes, then come!” Tie Liuzhi responded with a scoff.
…
Chen Feng kept flying forward, covering a distance of over 500 kilometres before stopping. Hovering high up in the sky, he waved his hand and a portal appeared from his palm. Next, a formidable suction force emerged from the portal. It was as though there were thick roots inserting themselves into space.
Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou! Sou!
Black-coloured energy streams at three different spots began condensing into energy clumps, which jumped through space as they made their way towards Chen Feng. The three different spots were all at varying distances from Chen Feng. The first was 500 kilometres away, the second was 1,500 kilometres away and the third was 5,000 kilometres away.
Everywhere they went, the sky turned dark as both sun and moon seemingly lost their radiance. The exploring cultivators who were within the affected areas raised their heads in surprise. They did not understand what was happening.
“Is a treasure about to emerge?”
“It looks to me like a heretical object is about to emerge.”
Given Chen Feng’s present level of strength, attacking characters like those felt somewhat degrading.
On the third day, Chen Feng finally encountered some disciples from Heavenly Sword Faction.
It was a ruined piece of land. Even with Chen Feng’s eye power, he was incapable of seeing the ends of the ruined land. There were seemingly bottomless pits, mountainous mounds and holes on the ground. There were also places with uneven terrain there.
Clearly, this place had played host to an intense battle before. Strands of blade-like energy streams flowed endlessly there. There were malevolent energy, yao energy, demonic energy and various other fundamental energies mixed within them. After tens of thousands of years congealing together, they had transformed into a brand-new type of power, creating an even more powerful energy stream.
There were two forces fighting each other at the edges of one of the bottomless pits.
One of them consisted of the disciples from Heavenly Sword Faction. However, the other side was clearly holding the upper hand in the battle. The seven cultivators besieged the three cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction and both sides unleashed their killer moves again and again. The cultivators were constantly getting wounded and screams of misery kept filling the air.
Even so, neither side stopped attacking. Instead, with bloodshot eyes, every one of them revealed a desire to continue attacking until the other side was dead.
“Astral Sword of the Great Enigma!”
“Slash of the Five Elemental Cycle!”
“Driftwind Astral Sword!”
“World-toppling Battle Seal!”
The killer moves employed by the two sides caused the surrounding ground to crack without respite. Finally, one of them became grievously wounded.
A cultivator from Heavenly Sword Faction had gone all out, taking grievous wounds in the process as he pushed himself beyond his limits to utilize a sword technique that he had yet to fully master. Thanks to the sword technique, he managed to grievously wound two cultivators on the other side. However, he ended up losing all ability to fight as a result.
“It is said that you disciples from Heavenly Sword Faction are all madmen. Today, I finally got to witness your madness. However, no matter how mad you fellows may be, no matter how much you push yourselves, you cannot change the fact that you fellows will be dying here today.
“Naturally, you fellows also have another choice. That is to crush the Teleportation Talismans while you fellows still have the strength to fight back and leave this place. However, by doing so, you fellows will have to end this training session ahead of time.”
“Is that your plan? Have us leave and let you guys get the treasures here? Hah! You already know that we disciples of Heavenly Sword Faction are madmen. Today, even if we throw our lives away here, we will ensure that this ends with mutual destruction. Let’s see which of us dies first!”
The eyes of the cultivators on both sides turned even redder and the killing energy coming from their bodies grew increasingly strong.
By then, Chen Feng was already hovering up in the sky above them. However, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he curiously observed his surroundings.
