Chapter 1415 - 728: Blood Desolation 2
The second person Song Junwan mentioned was Zhang Yunshan. The third person was that man currently near Yan Xiaobao... Yang Hongwu!
Yang Hongwu’s cultivation base was established in the later stages of the Foundation establishment, possessing a powerful Magic Treasure. Essentially, it was a precious artifact capable of releasing terrifying power beyond his current basic domain. With this artifact, he was almost invincible to anyone in his domain.
So far, besides the turtle pot, Yan Xiaobao had no other powerful Magic Treasures. If he had remained in the Spirit Stream sect, he would certainly have been bequeathed this reward upon reaching the latter Foundation establishment stage. However, he left while still in the early Foundation establishment stage and hence was not eligible for such a reward.
After all, during the later stages of Foundation establishment, such powerful Magic Treasures are typically not granted to anyone. Not only would it be difficult to unleash the item’s full potential, but there would also be a risk of it being snatched away.
Yan Xiaobao’s students were shrinking. Almost smoke emitted from Yang Hongwu’s aura immediately filled him with a sense of impending crisis. Although his physical strength was very high, which reduced the sense of danger, his heart still thumped with fear.
From his feelings, if this power continued to increase, it would negatively affect him. By now, his eyes were already bloodshot.
"There are too many people here, too many eyes." Bai Xiaochun gritted his teeth and then began to borrow the "Undying King of Heaven." His hands flashed in a cursed pose, and after a moment, a strange power surged from his palms.
This was gravity and repulsion, something he could barely unleash. He had barely scratched the surface of electromagnetic force but was still able to call upon it when needed.
When the two forces erupted, Yan Xiaobao let out a hoarse yell and gathered them together to form a powerful repulsion force. He was immediately pushed back at the fastest speed, heading into the distance in the blink of an eye.
Despite this, the smoke in Yang Hongwu’s incense sliced through the air where he had just been. Considering the cracks seemed to cut everywhere, it was clear that if Yan Xiaobao was any slower, he would be sliced into pieces.
Xue Mei’s Dharma Protector frowned, and the killing intent flickered in Yang Hongwu’s eyes. Yan Xiaobao had eluded him twice, even though he possessed a powerful Magic Treasure. He found it very unusual.
"Mortal-Dao Foundation establishment. I can hardly believe he’s actually avoided me twice.... It seems he’s hiding many secrets." Yang Hongwu took a deep breath, and then his chest sank. Suddenly, his speed soared, surpassing all other cultivators, turning into a beam of light, shooting directly toward Yan Xiaobao.
He inhaled but never exhaled, and after a while, he took another deep breath. Once again, his chest sank, accelerating, closing the distance between him and Yan Xiaobao.
Seeing Yang Hongwu flying toward him, Yan Xiaobao’s eyes were more bloodshot than before.
"You think I’m easy to accept?!" he shouted. Suddenly he turned around, didn’t flee, but charged at Yang Hongwu.
His shooting speed was faster than the lightning arrow, directly appearing in front of Yang Hongwu, releasing his fist with his right hand.
Yang Hongwu extended his right hand, murder intent flashing in his eyes. The incense burned, smoke flew towards Yan Xiaobao.
"So, you want to lure me into a solo fight?" Yang Hongwu laughed coldly, his powerful Magic Treasure spewing more smoke, causing a Death Net, making Yan Xiaobao’s scalp tingle so fast it seemed it might explode. Yet, he didn’t evade. As the smoke scattered on him, he injected more power into his fist.
When Bai Xiaochun’s "Undying King of Heaven" second layer power erupted, a rumbling sound could be heard. The power of seven Fierce Ghosts could shake mountains, causing echoing sonic booms. Massive electrical leakage even caused huge gusts of wind.
From afar, the scene was completely shocking. Yan Xiaobao punched, and the image of a Mad Ghost appeared behind him. This was not an ordinary Mad Ghost. Like all kings of the Fierce Ghosts, when Yan Xiaobao rushed out, it howled from the top of its lungs.
Shockingly, the smoke filling the area began to shrink immediately, as if it was about to be destroyed!
Although all of this takes some time to describe, it actually happened as the sparks flew from a piece of Fire Stone. The massive explosion swept over Yang Hongwu with a roar. As he was pushed backward, blood seeped from the corner of his mouth. His eyes suddenly filled with fear. Clearly, he knew Nightcrypt had amazing combat abilities, yet still had enough confidence to confront him alone. However, from this moment on, he could see Nightcrypt was even more terrifying than he previously realized.
Bai Xiaochun also spewed blood from his mouth, feeling as though his body was being torn apart by a Death Net. Yang Hongwu’s Magic Treasure’s power fiercely eroded the image of the Mad Ghost. However, Yan Xiaobao’s "Undying King of Heaven" power ensured he wasn’t severely harmed, let alone torn to shreds. It took some effort, but he managed to break free from the smoke, in the process fully destroying it.
Even as the wisps of smoke dissipated, the air not too far from Yan Xiaobao twisted, as someone appeared out of nowhere. It was a young man with a fan in his hand. His expression was dark and somber, his eyes flickering with murderous intent. He hesitated not a bit and swung in Yan Xiaobao’s direction.
The fierce wind screamed, turning into a tornado, connecting the sky and earth, flying towards Yan Xiaobao.
"Zhang Yunshan!" Yan Xiaobao’s students contracted from the impending crisis. Tossing his head back, he roared, his energy began to rise as another Mad Ghost appeared behind him, then a third, and fourth.
In the blink of an eye, seven Fierce Ghosts appeared, causing the heavens and earth to shake vigorously. All of them strutted and roared. Although the terrifying energy they unleashed was not enough to constitute a Heavenly Demon’s body, it was sufficient to create... a giant hand!
That was a giant pale hand, not the claw of a ghost, but the hand of a Heavenly Demon!
It was pale as death, the contours of its scales and malevolent bone spurs barely visible. As soon as the hand appeared, it came crashing down on Zhang Yunshan!
The first thing it hit was the tornado. As the tornado shattered, a massive rumble echoed, and at the same time, the hand of the Heavenly Demon flickered. But it was not destroyed.
Another roar could be heard, blood seeped from Zhang Yunshan’s mouth corner. Even though he flew back at top speed, the heavenly demon’s hand gradually faded. Yan Xiaobao’s face was pale and gray, he coughed out another mouthful of blood. His eyes were deep red, making him appear ruthless. Glancing at Yang Hongwu and Zhang Yunshan, he turned and flew into the distance.
Yang Hongwu hesitated for a moment, wiped the blood from his mouth. At this moment, he was too shaken to pursue Yan Xiaobao. The power just released, especially during the last attack, made him feel a sinking sensation, that Nightcrypt... hadn’t even invoked his full combat ability.
Even Zhang Yunshan’s sneak attack was nothing more than helping Nightcrypt unleash greater power.
"Exactly how many secrets does this guy have...?!" Yang Hongwu took a deep breath. As for the young-looking Zhang Yunshan, as he watched Yan Xiaobao escape, his face was equally cold.
The rest of the pursuers were completely shocked, all hesitated. After a while, Zhang Yunshan and Yang Hongwu exchanged a glance, and then they blinked as they led their team in pursuit.
Yan Xiaobao’s face suddenly turned ashen. On the outside, his clothes seemed bloody, appearing vicious and ruthless. However, inside, he was exhausted.
"A bunch of bullies. If I didn’t have to be careful maintaining my secret identity, I could wipe the floor with them. It’s not over yet, still six hours left...." As the seventh hour approached, his anxiety increased.
This time, he was mentally prepared. In the early morning hours, as the key was about to appear, just as he was about to escape, he heard one of Song Junwan’s other Dharma Protectors shouting.
"Nightcrypt, don’t absorb any more keys! Give them to us!"
"Nightcrypt, enough!" Song Qu shouted.
