Chapter 723: Saving in time
The transcendent cultivator that is running around the front yard didn't have much choice and from the looks of it, he seems to be unable to use the wood element or any other long-range attack.
He has decent physical force and movement though.
After some time, he finally got a little used to the gravity and started throwing punches in the air.
The spiritual energy manifested in the form of fists and blew the cards that are triggering the grenades along with the puppets, that barely managed to escape the fists.
The field was once again even with this and the trio didn't hold any advantage, but the three of them didn't panic at all. Because the explosions that injured the legs and the back of the transcendent cultivator along with the five stingers that either stabbed themselves into his body or scratched his skin are not just for the show.
The poison might be of the lower level, but it is the poison of the hydra and many other poisons that are even rare in the Naga Loka.
A peak stage Transcendent would even feel the pinch from escaping it, much less an initial stage one.
They decided to take advantage of the situation and decided to move on to the next step as they threw some poison smoke grenades into the field.
And even threw some decaying flame grenades. The cultivator tried his best to throw fists continuously to make them explode within the air, but it is not much of a loss for the trio. The poison gas will still stay within the air.
And Watt happened to be a decent wind manipulator. The intruder was soon completely surrounded with the poison gas inhaling it forcefully and even the poison from his feet started acting up.
He almost knelt on the ground due to the pain and his muscles are not responding properly.
Taking the advantage of the situation five large bugs came from the rear and bit him on the back. Led by the Zoi termite queen, all five of them took a chunk of flesh each and created large holes on his back.
The intruder not wearing any armor is a plus and the five bugs didn't stay there, they just escape as soon as their task was completed.
"ARRGGHHH." The intruder yelled in a painful voice and he looked around particularly at the three hidden spots of the trio and said.
"I was told to finish this off silently, and if you provoke me anymore, I don't think I can hold back."
As he spoke, he slammed his fist into the ground, and cracks appeared around him while a wave of spiritual energy cleared the poisonous smoke around him.
There is a quake around and by this time all the surrounding farmers already understood that something is happening, but nobody dared to come out of their houses. Not just the farmers' street, even the people in the market street already knew that something is wrong. But no one came forward, because the guards are strictly patrolling the remaining areas, while they ignored the farmer's street.
This made them understand that something is happening and they are not qualified to get involved in this.
By this moment, the trio came out of their hiding spots with the hoverboards. The plan is going on smoothly.
They hovered over the boards and started their attack.
First thing is that the decaying flammable gas is coming out of Watt's board while Philip's board is giving out the flames and finally Jack is doing the damage of cutting the flesh and letting the decaying flames directly entering the system and burning them down.
The intruder was throwing the fists left and right without any reservation and soon the whole estate is crashing down. The trio is fast enough on their boards and the gravity is not bothering them because of a special addition to the formation.
They are flying and pestering the intruder until he lost his cool. The intruder's punches and kicks became extremely violent to the point that the farmers in the nearby houses got afraid and ran away to their neighbors and some even ran out of the street completely.
But the battle didn't stop.
Seeing the frenzied mental state, the trio is relieved and decided to proceed with the next step. The soul formation.
This formation was actually created after their trip to the undead realm. When Sam saw the battle between the guardian and the old Vampire King, he got this idea and gave some thoughts to the formation department and the necromancy department.
So, they managed to create this with some framework that was provided by Sam.
Currently, it is a standby project for Sam and the testing prototype for the trio which they would work on when they are free.
Now the formation discs are activated and dropped in three places.
The intruder is currently stuck in the point where all three formations overlap each other and all the spirits that came out of the formation are attacking the intruder's mind as the trio already escaped out of the formation range and attacking from there.
"ARrggggghh."
"Nooooooo.."
"HMPPHHHH….."
The intruder is going through hell as he felt the damage slowly accumulate his mind and body.
The trio got a bit relieved and decided to do finish this off and was about to make the final move, but at this exact moment, the aura around the intruder changed.
"Puny Pests, how dare you do this to me? Just because, I held back, do you think I will take it all lying down, I will fucking kill you all."
With that, the man's aura started rampaging the surroundings and the soul formations are the first ones to be deactivated.
He then stomped the ground so hard that the formation network for the gravity formation was also deformed. Now he focused on the poison gas.
His body is already mangled and there are several open wounds where the decaying flame is still burning and it seemed to be intent on eating him away.
Due to the constant moves he made to get rid of the two annoying formations, he already spat quite a lot of blood and he is extremely weak, but that was all enough for him to deal with the trio.
No matter how fast they are and no matter how planned they are, they are still weaker in terms of cultivation and this is the first time, they are against someone powerful when Sam is not involved in the plan.
So, once the planning failed, they are shaken to their cores and one punch directly landed on Philip's board activating the formation that could only activate when it is an extreme crisis and rider on the board must be protected at all costs.
Philip crashed on the ground and felt torn both physically and mentally.
With one of the trio gone, the remaining two are also in great danger.
Even though they really damaged the intruder, they didn't break his spirit rather they fueled his anger and provoked him to the extreme. Now he is going on a rampage. Half of the building has collapsed and the shadow mice that are watching the situation couldn't take it anymore and went to the divine dimension to call for Sam.
Sam came out and looked at the situation and his blood boiled with fury.
He is not furious at the intruder but at the trio.
With just a mere thought, he could guess what happened and what led to this kind of situation. And he felt like this behavior is utter bullshit.
But he controlled his urge and anger and move to their rescue. First, he took out the harbinger and started attacking the intruder.
He threw a small energy cell on his back which exploded the flesh and he angrily turned around to look at Sam.
"You are here for me, so come and get me if you can."
The angry intruder, who is already provoked, couldn't take the provocation anymore and went to clash with him.
Sam used the superior speed of the harbinger to his advantage and started throwing the spirit stones after destabilizing them.
He didn't use energy cells, because he is sure that he cannot kill the man in a single cell and if the intruder realized how dangerous the cell is after he took one attack, then it would be hard for Sam to drop the second cell.
So, he decided to reduce the already exhausted body into even more exhaustion and make him drain his energy and physical damage his body and make it accumulate the strain and he is planning on doing all that while the enemy is still in his frenzied state.
Soon, Sam achieved the desired state and he is sure that he can take this guy down, so he decided to use the recent invention he made with the bagasse.
The bio-fuel that was made from it. It is liquid in state and he threw a large bottle of it on him and set him on the fire.
Even though the bagasse has nothing related to fire in it and it is purely wooden in nature, it propagated the fire element greatly.
Sam could only attribute this to the nature of wood which is extremely flammable.
