Chapter 226 – You Guys Go First!
Cao Zhilan quietly stood outside of the palace, she didn’t rush to enter, but instead she smilingly looked towards Shi Yan who poked his head out from behind the stone pillar. The look in her eyes was somewhat shady.
Pan Zhe and the rest saw that Cao Zhilan was already here. They didn’t dare to delay, and all sped up their pace, quickly appearing behind her.
Almost a hundred Earth realm warriors, lined up neatly, and stood behind Pan Zhe, Gu Linglong, Xie Kui, and Qu Yanqing. They coldly watched the rubbled palaces, as if waiting for something.
“Did they hide because they want to make a sneak attack?” Cao Zhilan chuckled and shook her head, her thin hand slightly raised up, and beams of blue light flew out of her five delicate fingers, attacking the Yang family warriors that hid inside the rubbled palace.
Yang Mu and the rest that hid in the dark, seemed surprised. Under the attack of the bright blue lights, they had to move out of their hiding spots, and all revealed their whereabouts.
Shi Yan’s expression slightly shifted.
This gorgeous woman, was even harder to deal with than Nirvana realm warriors. Inside the Abyss Battlefield, mind power was restrained, and even vision was greatly affected. Inside the Abyss Battlefield, even Nirvana realm warriors, have a hard time picturing the life force fluctuations around them.
But this woman was still fifty meters away from the palace. However she seemed to have the all-seeing eye, and pointed out the all the Yang family warriors that were hiding. With her sole power, she broke the sneak attack plan of Shi Yan and the rest.
“You don’t need to hide, there’s no point, I know your exact spots.” Cao Zhilan smiled, she kept waving her hand, and shot out more bright lights, forcing the Yang family warriors to shift and appear in plain sight.
Pan Zhe smiled casually, he stepped forward, and stood beside Cao Zhilan. He nodded towards Yang Mu from a short distance, “We meet again so soon, hehe, this time you can’t use demon beasts to block us, I wonder if you can still escape from this.”
“I think I remember, that the ones who fled in panic last time, were not us?” Yang Mu seemed stunned, he scratched his head and looked towards Yang Ke, “I’m not wrong am I? It wasn’t us who jumped into the sea?”
Yang Ke chuckled coldly, “Big brother, you might have remembered wrong, some people seem to think that they won before.”
When facing enemies twice their amount, Yang Mu and Yang Ke were not startled at all. They still had the leisure to mock Pan Zhe, as if they didn’t take this crisis seriously.
Pan Zhe, Qu Yanqing, and Gu Linglong immediately darkened their expressions.
“Hmm, the ones that should come out are all out now. Isn’t this great?” Cao Zhilan smiled, she turned back, glimpsed at Pan Zhe and the rest, then said confidently: “You can go inside to complete the objective of this mission now. Don’t worry, there won’t be any messy traps for you to deal with.”
Then, Cao Zhilan suddenly whistled.
The crisp whistle spread far and loud, on the sound of the whistle, her delicate body was like a lightning flash, that shot straight towards Shi Yan.
At the same time, rings of blue aura flew out of her body. These blue auras were like hula hoops, quickly flying inside the palace, with the intention of going towards the Gravitational Fields that Shi Yan made.
Inside the blue auras, there was a flow of extremely obvious soul fluctuation. Inside every blue aura, there seemed to have Cao Zhilan’s mind power. Once these blue auras fell inside the Gravitational Fields, they immediately rippled with bright blue light, and the blue light instantly filled the entire Gravitational Field.
The Gravitational Fields that were hard to be seen by the naked eye, now appeared in plain sight because of the blue light.
When the blue auras fell into the Gravitational Fields, the bright blue light that it released, had no effect on the operation of the Gravitational Fields. However, the existence of these blue lights, marked the placement of the Fields, letting Pan Zhe and the rest know where the traps were, so they could dodge them.
Cao Zhilan didn’t remind them, but from the location of the blue lights, Pan Zhe and the rest clearly saw the traps that were secretly made by Shi Yan.
The Gravitational Fields, were now useless.
“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”
In the whistling sounds, Cao Zhilan shot towards Shi Yan like lightning. In a mere moment, her delicate body appeared in front of Shi Yan.
“Sky Spirit Bound!”
Cao Zhilan shouted, a blue light cover formed by vigorous spirit energies, suddenly fell on Shi Yan’s head.
The Sky Spirit Bound was a Mortal level martial skill, it uses the natural spirit energies to form a constraint, directly capturing the opponent. As long as the spirit energies remain, the constraint of the Sky Spirit Bound would not disappear.
Performing the Sky Spirit Bound while being in the third sky of Earth realm, Cao Zhilan was confident that even Yang Mu would be bound by her for a while.
“It’s not that hard.” Cao Zhilan chuckled, she looked at Shi Yan’s figure inside the blue light cover, and shook her head, feeling slightly disappointed, “I thought you would have some things up your sleeve, but it seems that you’re nothing more than this. Boring.”
“What are you talking to yourself about?” Shi Yan snorted coldly.
“Hmm?” Cao Zhilan’s bright eyes lit up, with some excitement she looked at Shi Yan who was outside the light cover. Then she immediately looked at the blue light cover, suddenly realizing that the original figure of Shi Yan was slowly dissipating, and disappearing bit by bit.
“Shadow?” Cao Zhilan’s pretty face smiled more, she nodded, “You kind of have some skills, didn’t get captured by me immediately. Hmm, very good very good, this is more interesting.”
“Yang Mu, you won’t get away!” Pan Zhe yelled, with the feather fan in his hand, he already started battling with Yang Mu.
The Earth realm warriors that rushed in from outside the palace, also quickly sought opponents. They formed into an arc, and surrounded the Yang family warriors, moving closer towards them.
Yang Mu, Yang Ke, and the rest, were dealing with their opponents, and quietly backing up and the same time. They moved closer towards the area behind the palace with the thick dark clouds.
When Cao Zhilan pointed out their exact spots, Yang Mu already had the thought of retreat. At the moment his figure appeared, he already made hand gestures, signalling everyone to retreat to the area where the meteorite formation was.
Li Fenger and the rest all know very well in their hearts. They knew that the situation was not fit for a battle to the death. According to Yang Mu’s idea, they all moved closer to that side.
“Pan Zhe, you weren’t worthy of being my opponent then, and it is still the same now.” On that side Yang Mu laughed loudly, with a fearless expression on his face. Surrounded by many warriors, an extremely explosive power was bursting from his body. That giant sword pressed towards them like mountainous waves, forming continuous explosions sounds, beating the hell out of those tight-knit warriors.
Yang Mu had the Immortal Martial Spirit, he wasn’t scared of being heavily injured at all. He even purposely injured his body just to kill those surrounding attackers.
Very soon, there were many wounds on Yang Mu’s body. Many of the wounds were so deep that the bone was visible, they seemed extremely severe.
At the expense of heavily injuring his body, in this mere moment, Yang Mu had already killed three warriors in the first sky of Earth realm. Plus this result was under the situation in which he was facing Pan Zhe’s attacks at the same time.
Yang Ke and Yang Xue were about the same as Yang Mu. They relied on their fearlessness of wounds, and when they battled with attackers, they often didn’t care about getting injuries on their body. They killed the surrounding attackers at the expense of injuring their own bodies.
“Shi Yan! How are you gonna escape this time?” Gu Linglong shouted coldly, a long magic sword flew through the air. This magic sword was in a strange prism shape, with a chilling cold ambience.
The look in Shi Yan’s eyes was calm, he didn’t look at the cold magic sword that Gu Linglong shot out, instead he gravely stared at Cao Zhilan.
After one blow from Cao Zhilan, she didn’t attack again. Instead she observed the situation in the battlefield with interest. She saw Pan Zhe and the rest quietly surround Yang Mu’s group, and she saw the Yang family warriors retreat towards that meteorite formation in an orderly manner.
The moment when Gu Linglong’s ice magic sword attacked, Shi Yan immediately guessed her intentions.
In the last battle, the aftershock power of the seven magic swords of Gu Linglong had once rushed into his body. However they were burnt completely by the fire power of the ten thousand year-old Core Fire.
As the master of the magic sword, Gu Linglong naturally knew that inside Shi Yan’s body there was a strong fire power. So, this time she didn’t shoot out all seven magic swords, instead she concentrated the power in her body, and solely controlled this one ice sword with the cold energy, wanting to use the cold energy on this magic sword to suppress the fire power in Shi Yan’s body.
The ice magic sword pierced through the air.
Shi Yan’s expression was cold, he didn’t make any actions. When he sensed that bone-chilling cold energy, a chilling grin suddenly appeared on his lips.
“Boom!”
Raising his hand, he gathered the negative energies, and a Death Seal suddenly bursted out.
The Death Seal explosively shot onto the ice magic sword. Negative powers that were several times stronger than the last battle, suddenly exploded, and actually blew away that cold magic sword into the air.
Gu Linglong’s delicate body shook, her face suddenly became paler, and her eyes were extremely surprised. But after the surprise, she smiled, “Let me see how you are going to get rid of that cold energy this time!”
The moment when the Death Seal blew on the Cold magic sword, the bone-chilling cold energy in the ice magic sword also flowed out at this opportunity, seeping through Shi Yan’s entire body.
The true motive of Gu Linglong, was to let the cold energy of this ice magic sword, make Shi Yan’s body freeze up completely!
Cao Zhilan chuckled, she looked towards Shi Yan with interest, and said: “The cold energy has entered your body, how are you going to deal with it?”
“Why is there a need to deal with it?” Shi Yan frowned, and glanced afar at Gu Linglong, he mocked: “Didn’t that retard Gu Jiange tell you, I was once sealed in ice by the Ice Cold Flame for three years? Even the cold energy of the Ice Cold Flame couldn’t do anything to me, can the cold power of your little ice magic sword be stronger than the cold power of the Ice Cold Flame?”
Gu Linglong’s face suddenly changed.
“Retreat!”
At this very moment, Yang Mu suddenly roared, the light in his giant sword shone, and beams of extremely sharp sword aura accurately shot towards Pan Zhe and the rest.
Taking this opportunity, Yang Mu and the group of Yang family warriors, immediately stepped inside the meteorite formation.
“Let’s go.” Karma waved his hand, and shouted: “Young master Yan, we should leave now.”
“You guys go first!”
Shi Yan’s face suddenly changed, all the hair on his body seemed to raise, his eyes stared straight at that Cao Zhilan.
