Chapter 776: Pick the Tough Target to Start!
Translator: Sigma Editor: SSins
Three warriors of the Sea Clan at the King God Realm were burned down, leaving only bone dust on the ground.
Shi Yan stood in the center of the rolling fire and retrieved his Dead power Upanishad with negative energy. He squinted, absorbing the Essence Qi of the three King God Realm warriors into his body. He held a look of indifference with no traces of fatigue after a fierce battle.
In fact, Shi Yan didn't consume much energy at all.
With the Earth Flame and the Vermilion Bird Flame's assistance, he could simply destroy the opponents' Water power Upanishad. His Space power Upanishad had swallowed an enormous part of their energy. He expected a smooth victory.
Shi Yan didn't have enough time to calm down in his sea of fire. Shortly, he frowned and then snorted.
The Purgatory Token on his waist sent him eight energy flows of living beings. Apparently, his battle with the three Sea Clan experts had alerted the prisoners around here. They silently gathered.
At the other corner of the Purgatory Star, the five feudal vassals were still sinking in fright. At this moment, they were sensitive to any changes. They were all clearly shaken. Their eyes shifted to the mirror, holding their own gaze.
"Mwahahaha!" Ao Gu Duo laughed fiendishly. He didn't say anything but his face said it all.
In Ao Gu Duo's eyes, Shi Yan had just finished a tough battle killing three Sea Clan experts. Therefore, he must have consumed a lot of his energy.
At this moment, more and more prisoners were coming to him. One of them had reached the Second Sky of King God Realm. With his experience, Ao Gu Duo believed that that warrior wouldn't control himself and instead burst out and kill Shi Yan to take the Purgatory Token, which would help him survive the Extreme Purgatory Field and gain a new life.
Carthew and Rochester had the same thought. They frowned, observing.
Only Leona stayed calm and cold. She glared at Ao Gu Duo's group and mockingly snorted.
"It's over for him," Ao Gu Duo spread his arms, laughing cheerily. "You should prepare to hand me your life star."
The corner of Carthew's mouth twitched. He looked at Ao Gu Duo, and then Leona. He didn't say anything, his face strange.
"Hand you my life star? Ao Gu Duo, are you blind? Watch it!" Leona smiled faintly. Apparently, she wasn't someone who would yield easily.
"Zi Yao has chosen a good guard. If he can pass the challenge in the Extreme Purgatory Field, his attainment in the future is something we can't assess." Du Tian Le said with emotions. "Battling with higher realm when he's at only the Third Sky of True God Realm and he won easily. I don't think many juniors in our divine nation can achieve such a feat."
Rochester nodded. "This kid does have some tricks. No wonder why Zi Yao gave him the quota, which should be Ao Gera's. Yeah, I think that little girl's correct again. Her vision is getting sharper indeed."
"Damn it!" Ao Gu Duo looked at him indignantly, shouting. "My nephew Ao Gera didn't want to compete with him. He knew he would receive a quota from me. That's why he gave the other his. Harrumph, I want to see if he can survive or not!"
"Then you should watch carefully," Rochester lifted his head, looking at him without fear. "I don't know why I suddenly believe that that boy will get out of the Extreme Purgatory Field alive."
"Rochester, you mean my nephew would die?" Ao Gu Duo spat out coldly with a ferocious look on his face.
Nodded, Rochester grinned. "True. If Shi Yan could break through the King God Realm shortly, I believe he can survive. Your nephew? Perhaps he will die. Hahaha."
Ao Gu Duo grimaced. He harrumphed indignantly, his eyes giving off a savage gaze as if his wild nature had been aroused.
Anyway, since Carthew and Rochester were feudal vassals like him, of course they wouldn't be afraid of him. Sometimes, they would mock him, which enraged him badly.
He gazed at the mirror lake. If his look could cross that lake, with his cultivation base, perhaps he could use his look to pierce Shi Yan to death.
Too bad, Du Tian Ji had hired specialists to create this lake. It hid a great mystery that he couldn't use his soul to get through it.
--------------------------
Dark Firmament Star.
"Not bad," King Du Tian Ji of the divine nation nodded and rubbed his chin. "Not bad at all," he continued.
Zi Yao was happy. "I told you, Father. This man is so mysterious. It's not easy to make him lose."
"You little girl. Your eyes had always been sharp. I am proud of you." DJ looked at her deeply. After a while, he sighed. "Unfortunately, you are not a man. Otherwise, I wouldn't have such a headache."
Zi Yao's face darkened as sorrow pierced her heart. She just sighed and said nothing.
Inside the furious fire, the temperature was getting higher and higher. The ancient trees around had contributed to this mighty fire. The burning fire got beautifully fiercer. In the fire sea, Shi Yan was calm, standing upright like a spear, watching here and there.
Deep inside the dark forest, eight prisoners were hiding. One of them was at the Second Sky of King God Realm. His life magnetic field was obviously stronger than the others'. Shi Yan spotted them via his Purgatory Token.
Shi Yan didn't dare to act rashly. There were seven First Sky of King God Realm warriors and one Second Sky of King God Realm warrior. Even if he was more arrogant, he wouldn't dare say that he could defeat this force, especially since he had just finished a battle. Absorbing the Essence Qi of the Sea Clan experts would take time to filter. If he engaged in another battle at this moment, it would be too unfavorable to him.
Shi Yan didn't dare show a trace of fatigue.
He knew that when those hungry wolves saw that he was tired, they would swarm over wildly and slash him, grinding him to take his Purgatory Token.
At this moment, he became calmer, pondering in the sea of fire. Abruptly, he faced the sky and laughed crazily. In the ear-piercing whistle, he took action first.
Clusters of flaming energy balled next to him. Just like the burning meteors from the sky, they started to precisely bombard those hiding warriors.
Rumble Rumble Rumble!
With the fireballs falling, those who were hiding urged their God Domain to retreat or to use their powers to resist.
Swoosh Swoosh Swoosh!
The fierce whistle that could prickle people's eardrums exploded inside the field.
Although nobody could detect the source of the hissing, they all felt an extremely sharp force. Three Bone Thorns darted so fast that no one could actually see them move. With space power, they glided and disappeared, leaving only the terrifying whistle.
The God Domain of one of the hiding people was pierced instantly. A Bone Thorn appeared, flying towards his neck.
Boom!
A low, rumbling sound echoed from that man's direction. In just a blink, that man showed himself. He was an expert of the Dark Spirit Clan, the one who had the highest realm among the prisoners hiding here.
Second Sky of King God Realm!
Boom Boom!
Two other Bone Thorns appeared from the shadows, furiously stabbing.
The Dark Spirit Clan's expert put on a grim face while both of his hands were making hand seals and different techniques in the air. Light sparkled gloriously.
Just like the blooming firework, the Bone Thorns and his hand seals brought more light which flashed dazzlingly, hurting people's eyes.
His hand seals and techniques turned into special symbols of the Dark Spirit Clan. Just like living creatures, they stopped the furious Bone Thorns. However, he had to retreat.
Massive fireballs flew toward seven other warriors. They quietly retreated, not daring to stay and sneak into this battle.
The Second Sky of King God Realm Dark Spirit Clan expert had to make the hand seals continuously while the three Bone Thorns were chasing after him like the spooky ghosts. No matter how hard he wiggled, he couldn't get rid of them. After one futile attempt, they would disappear. Immediately, they would reappear from a cunning angle, which made the other struggle hard to dodge and resist.
Shortly, that man glared at Shi Yan from a far distance, snorted, then ran away.
When the other seven saw the Second Sky of King God Realm running away, they didn't stop to think and immediately ran for their lives.
In just a blink, no one was hiding near Shi Yan.
At this moment, sweat started to bead on his forehead. His tense nerves relaxed. He hastened to use pellets to adjust his conditions.
The man at the Second Sky of King God Realm was truly strong. Shi Yan had used the Bone Thorns with space power but he couldn't pierce through his God Domain shortly to attack his God Body.
Shi Yan had tried his best to apply the knowledge of space power to his attack. He had even added Star energy into the Bone Thorns. However, it was only enough to make his opponents afraid of him, not sufficient to deal any damage.
The reason why the expert retreated was because he couldn't estimate Shi Yan's real competence. He was afraid that once he fought with him, both would receive damage, which was the best chance for the other seven prisoners to attack them. In the end, he couldn't get the Purgatory Token and he could have been wounded badly or even gotten killed.
Shi Yan understood that if there weren't so many people hiding and waiting for a chance around them, that Dark Spirit Clan's expert probably would not have given up his scheme. He would do everything he can to kill Shi Yan.
The main reason why the other had left, besides Shi Yan's beyond-realm performance, was that he was afraid of stealthy operations of the others. Thus, he had to leave for now.
Choosing the strongest to attack had given the best intimidation effect. It happened all according to Shi Yan's plan. Although he had to use a lot of his energy, no one dared to stay near him now. He had assumed correctly. He found the way to deal with them.
If he had chosen a First Sky of King God Realm warrior to attack, the result wouldn't have been as desired. He wouldn't have created the scaring effect. Instead, he would have created the chance for that Second Sky of King God Realm warrior to kill him with one strike. In the end, he would have died pitifully here.
"Watch out. Cover ten miles around. Tell me immediately when any creature approaches!"
His Soul Consciousness sensed a while in the Purgatory Token. He ordered the heaven flames resolutely. When all the heaven flames flew out of the fire sea, he left the place immediately, crazily flying toward the more perilous and isolated area.
Shortly, his image disappeared in the view of Leona and the other. His figure wasn't projected in the mirror lake anymore.
"Very clever. He has many fighting experiences, too. Being calm at a critical moment like that... he's truly a character." The master of the divine nation suddenly laughed in the Dark Firmament Star far from them. He nodded, "Indeed, he's not bad. Not worse than Ao Gera. I'm anticipating that he and Ao Gera could have a battle. I think it would be more interesting."
Zi Yao's face was gloomy. A gleam of begrudging sorrow sparkled in her eyes.
Ao Gera and Shi Yan were her subordinates. No matter who won or lost, she would suffer from grief.
