Chapter 268 - Sinking, Duan Chaofeng Moved
Chapter 268 Sinking, Duan Chaofeng Moved
“The Night Beast has really appeared! It’s just that…”
Outside the black light area, Chu He, Lie Ying and others looked inside in surprise.
They were not far from the edge of the black light curtain.
If they had been a little bit closer, they would have been enveloped by the black light.
“This Night Beast is not in the mid level of the dao realm, but in the high level of the dao realm!”
Chu He looked surprised.
When he heard the news of the appearance of the Night Beast, sources had described it as a mid level dao realm beast.
But now, it seemed that this news was false. Or maybe, after this news spread, the Night Beast broke through to the high level of the dao realm.
Either way, it was not good news for the people wanting to capture the Night Beast.
“Although a high level dao realm Night Beast hasn’t fully matured to its peak, it is already an adult… An adult Night Beast is not only terrifying because of its advancement in realm, but also because of its special ability. For example, once we get trapped into this black light curtain in front of me, it should be very difficult to get out…” “As an apex demon beast, a human master or other demon beast in the same realm as this Night Beast is no match for it…”
Chu He’s eyes were full of fear, but he also felt a little lucky.
If it weren’t for the fact that he had a treasure that could hide his aura, he would have definitely been discovered by the Night Beast.
“Master Chu He, what should we do?”
At this moment, another gray-robed man asked Chu He, “Should we leave this place?”
Chu He frowned, as if he was weighing his options.
“We’ll wait and see!”
Chu He said, “As long as we don’t take the initiative to do anything, the Night Beast will not notice us. If those two groups can seriously injure the Night Beast, we may still have a chance to take advantage of it. Even if they don’t, we can hide our aura and leave at any time.”
Afterwards, several people looked at the area covered in black light.
“This Night Beast is in the high level of the dao realm!”
In the black light curtain, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, who were the strongest, were the first to sense the strength of the Night Beast.
“Is there a mistake in the information, or has the Night Beast just recently advanced?”
Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua both felt a strong sense of discomfort after looking at the Night Beast.
“Senior Dong, let His Highness enter the spatial treasure!”
Zhang He reminded anxiously. Dong Ji reacted and quickly activated his spatial treasure.
However, Dong Ji’s expression changed. “Not good!”
“What’s wrong, Senior Dong?”
Zhang He quickly asked.
“This black light curtain is a temporary independent space created by the Night Beast!”
Dong Ji’s expression turned ugly.
If he couldn’t put Duan Chaofeng into the spatial treasure, then the risk of him getting injured or even dying would be extremely high.
‘Temporary independent space?’
Xu Ning was shocked.
He also tested it and discovered that he couldn’t hide in the Hidden Moon Bead.
He could come out of another independent space, but he couldn’t enter it.
‘It seems that this is going to be troublesome…’
Xu Ning took out the Cyan Wolf Knife and clenched it in his hand.
Although Xu Ning was facing the Night Beast, Xu Ning did not have the strength to resist its pressure.
“Zhang He!”
Dong Ji was decisive. “Protect His Highness!”
“Okay!”
Zhang He placed Duan Chaofeng behind him.
“Xue Jinghua!”
Afterwards, Dong Ji flashed and appeared in front of Xue Jinghua, who was protecting Princess Mo Lan.
“The situation is critical right now. We have to abandon our prejudices and join forces to deal with this Night Beast!”
Dong Ji took the initiative to collaborate.
“Okay!”
Xue Jinghua immediately agreed. “Guards, take good care of Her Highness!”
“Yes!”
Several mid-level dao realm masters, including Cen Yumou and Liang Tingang, surrounded Mo Lan.
They all knew very well that once something happened to Mo Lan, even if they could escape from the black light, their future would be very tragic.
He he he.
Suddenly, weird sounds came from the Night Beast’s throat.
Immediately after, the black fog around it started to spread, eventually becoming dense, turning into blade-waving bug demon beasts.
At the same time, everyone present felt their vision gradually turning black.
The weakest people in this black light curtain were void realm martial artists, so it had been a long time since they experienced the feeling of their vision being obstructed.
The weaker one was, the faster the darkness spread in front of their eyes.
Whoosh!
The bug-shaped demon beasts formed by the black fog rushed towards the crowd in the black light.
“Protect His Highness!”
Zhang He roared.
A large number of guards and trusted aides gathered around Duan Chaofeng.
On the other side, Mo Lan was also specially protected.
However, although everyone wanted to protect the prince and the princess, some people were powerless to do so.
This was because most of the void realm martial artists’ vision had been completely drowned by darkness, and their voices were also taken away. ‘Our sensory perception has been greatly affected!
Xu Ning possessed a deep foundation and great strength. Although he was also affected, he was not completely stripped of his perception.
‘I have to resist this interference at all times. If my perception is completely seized, I will really be in a desperate situation!’
Looking at the bugs flying at him, Xu Ning was ready to face the enemy.
Bang! Bang! Bang! A large group of bug beasts rushed towards him.
Xu Ning stepped forward and crushed several bug beasts into smoke.
He, Zhang He, and the other three trusted aides of the heir surrounded Duan Chaofeng to prevent him from being hurt.
“Your Highness, are you okay?”
Zhang He asked Duan Chaofeng.
“My perception is a little affected, but it’s not a big problem!”
Duan Chaofeng was also trying his best to resist the interference.
“That’s good.”
Zhang He was a little relieved. “However, you still have to be careful. The power of interference is getting stronger and stronger. You have to maintain a firm will at all times, otherwise you will be swallowed by the darkness!”
Swoosh!
A guard in front of Xu Ning was slashed by the bug beast.
The guard fell to the ground with one strike.
However, there were no wounds on his body.
“Hmm?”
Xu Ning also noticed this. ‘After being hit by the blade on that bug’s feet, the victim did not die, but the black fog on the blade was injected into his body. If I’m not wrong, the black fog entering his body should have accelerated the spread of the interference, depriving him of all his perception, causing him to completely fall into darkness!
Xu Ning suddenly became alert.
He couldn’t be hurt by these bug beasts when he fought them.
Otherwise, he would sink even faster.
While Xu Ning and the others were resisting the bug beasts, Dong Ji and Xue Jinghua, two high level dao realm seventh stage masters, joined forces to attack the Night Beast.
Whoosh!
Xue Jinghua controlled her flying sword and turned it into a silver light, slashing at the Night Beast.
Dong Ji also threw punches into the air, his terrifying fist force smashing towards the Night Beast.
However, the Night Beast was extremely agile, easily dodging the incoming attacks.
While dodging, it spat out black liquid from its mouth.
Xue Jinghua and Dong Ji dodged away, but the black liquid landed on the ground and splashed onto the bodies of the people nearby. Even if it were only a few drops, the victims would immediately lose consciousness.
Instantly, the black light curtain was filled with fights all around.
Whoosh!
After several exchanges, Xu Ning was slashed by the insect beast multiple times.
Every time the black fog entered his body, the darkness in front of Xu Ning’s eyes became stronger and the closer he got to the edge of sinking
‘Once this black fog enters my body, it can’t be forced out at all…’
Xu Ning felt a sense of danger. ‘And the number of bug beasts is increasing.’
“Xu Ning, can you hold on?”.
Zhang He shouted at Xu Ning.
Zhang He had also been slashed countless times, and his consciousness was already in a daze.
If it weren’t for his firm will to protect Duan Chaofeng, he would have died long ago.
Only Zhang He and Xu Ning were left in front of Duan Chaofeng, while the rest of the guards and other trusted aides had their consciousness swallowed by the darkness and fell to the ground. “I can hold on!”
Xu Ning gritted his teeth.
“You two…”
Duan Chaofeng had a complicated expression when he saw Zhang He and Xu Ning struggling to protect him.
Another bug beast flew over. Whoosh!
This time, Duan Chaofeng took the initiative to stand in front of Xu Ning and Zhang He.
He held a silver knife and slashed the bug beast into a cloud of smoke.
“Your Highness, retreat!”
Zhang He quickly shouted.
Xu Ning looked at Duan Chaofeng in surprise. He didn’t expect Duan Chaofeng to take the initiative to protect them. “At this point, let’s not talk about who should be protecting who!”
Duan Chaofeng said loudly.
Just now, the scene of Zhang He, Xu Ning, and others risking their lives to protect him made Duan Chaofeng extremely moved.
Especially Xu Ning, who was obviously only in the fourth stage of the dao realm, but blocked the swarm of bug beasts for him.
Zhang He and the others had followed him for a long time, so it was reasonable for them to fight for him.
But Xu Ning had only been with him for a short time, and he was already showing such an attitude, which made Duan Chaofeng feel warm.
He was already thinking that if he could safely return to State Wansheng, he would definitely reward Xu Ning greatly and promote his status, making him a vassal of the mansion. Seeing Duan Chaofeng’s fearless attitude, Xu Ning felt that although Duan Chaofeng was a prince, he was not arrogant and cold. He was sincere to the people around him.
Although Xu Ning was temporarily under Duan Chaofeng’s command, but because of the existence of the Martial Arts Panel, Xu Ning knew how high his limit was in the future, so he wouldn’t really submit to him.
Xu Ning regarded Duan Chaofeng as a dealer. He would help Xu Ning and Xu Ning would merely repay him for the help given.
But now, when Duan Chaofeng took the initiative to stand in front of him and Zhang He, Xu Ning had already promoted his status in his mind to a friend he could get to know.
