Chapter 1422: The Ambush (Part Two)
Seeing that the surrounding demonic beasts did not immediately surround them after discovering the aura here, Donglin Tingyue and the others also breathed a sigh of relief.
It seemed they had made the right bet. The few of them had quickly discussed via voice transmission before. After observing the pursued woman in colorful clothes, they felt that she should be the fourth-rank “Glazed Butterfly” that ruled this area, whom they had not seen before.
So they decided not to attack her. Although they were not afraid of these low-level demonic beasts around, and even including the woman in colorful clothes, they should be able to block them.
But if they could deal with that “Golden-Winged Great Peng” with peace of mind, that would of course be the best.
“Damn human cultivators, so it was you who ambushed this young master. You dare to make an enemy of the ‘Golden-Winged Great Peng’ clan, you bunch of brainless fools who don’t know death when you see it. Get lost if you know what’s good for you!”
The Golden-Winged Great Peng was knocked back by the suddenly appearing green curtain. In a mixture of shock and anger, he immediately began to curse loudly.
But under the impact of his abnormal speed, some cracks also appeared on that green curtain. He estimated that he could break out after a few more consecutive impacts.
It was just that with just this slight delay, several figures had already separated around him and had surrounded him.
When this Golden-Winged Great Peng scanned the three people and one dog around him, he immediately understood the reason. Someone had actually targeted him, and he was still unaware.
Among these people, there was actually a Late-stage Nascent Soul existence. The other two people and one demon were of the same realm as him.
If he only wanted to escape, he didn’t have to worry too much about the two Mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators. It was just that the Late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator and that “Dark Blaze Demondog” needed to be paid attention to.
Although the bloodline of this “Dark Blaze Demondog” clan was not as good as the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” clan, the other party’s innate divine ability, “Blazing Flames Nine Layers,” had some effect on his spatial rules.
If it were a one-on-one situation in normal times, even if this “Dark Blaze Demondog’s” cultivation was a small realm higher than his, he would not have paid too much attention to it.
But these people were clearly plotting against him. Even a little influence during his escape could put him in a desperate situation.
While the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” was cursing angrily, his movements did not stop at all. His arrogance was only on the surface; he was extremely cunning.
While his body was still being pushed back by the green curtain, his body had already turned almost transparent in an instant. His retreating figure was like it was rapidly melting in the air.
In the short time he spoke, his figure was almost invisible.
When Li Yan had just flown up, he had seen this scene. The “Golden-Winged Great Peng’s” voice was still coming out, but its retreating figure had instantly blurred, leaving only a faint afterimage in the void.
A sharp light suddenly flashed in Li Yan’s eyes, and he thought to himself, ‘What a powerful spatial divine ability. This demonic beast’s understanding of the laws of space seems to be a bit stronger than my understanding of ‘Quaking Cosmos.’ The existence of such a bloodline, to be able to quickly understand the power of rules without arduous cultivation, is simply heaven-defying.’
Just as Li Yan saw the other party about to disappear, a flame, red with a hint of black, suddenly descended from the sky and covered the area where the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” was.
The power of the laws of space there had not yet dissipated, but it was immediately affected, as if it had been burned clean.
A startled roar came from three hundred zhang away from the “Golden-Winged Great Peng’s” original position.
“Truly a lapdog! Your ‘Dark Blaze Demondog’ clan will pay a great price for this…”
As this voice sounded, the area where the red and black flames fell had long since lost the trace of the “Golden-Winged Great Peng.” The originally almost transparent figure had also completely disappeared in the flames.
Where the fierce flames passed, the void space burned, and a series of “crackling” sounds were heard, like countless firecrackers being lit.
And not far away, a figure staggered and flashed out. It was the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” that had just disappeared.
His figure was translucent, and some red and black flames covered his body, but they were blocked by a thin layer of golden light outside his body, which quickly drowned the flames.
And his voice was filled with an uncontrollable, man-eating shock and anger, as well as a sky-high resentment.
Li Yan glanced at the distance. The black mongrel dog was standing in the void. At this moment, there were still two wisps of residual flames in his nostrils, which were being slowly sucked into his abdomen.
And at this moment, the black mongrel dog’s body no longer had the appearance of a domestic dog at all.
Under his black fur, a strange dark red light was surging. His two eyes had also become pitch-black, and his two pupils were actually slowly rotating, like two bottomless abysses.
‘What a powerful flame. It actually has an effect similar to the ‘Five Elements Disarray Mantle.’ It’s just that he’s not disrupting the five-element power in that area, but using the flames to isolate heaven and earth. The red and black flames he sprayed from his nose seem to be able to instantly divide into several layers, and in the overlapping layers, they can temporarily isolate some of the power of heaven and earth. This should be some kind of innate divine ability of his clan. No wonder the Donglin Family brought this demonic beast with them both times they came to capture the ‘Golden-Winged Great Peng.’ This is not just for assistance, but to indirectly restrain the ‘Golden-Winged Great Peng’s’ spatial power and prevent him from escaping into the void in the first instance…’
Li Yan saw through the trick in an instant.
Although the Five Elements Sect’s cultivation arts were unparalleled in the world, the secret arts of other sects, or the unique innate divine abilities of demonic beasts, were not necessarily inferior to the Five Immortal Sects’.
Li Yan felt that his “Five Elements Disarray Mantle,” compared to this divine ability of the “Dark Blaze Demondog,” it was hard to say who was stronger.
If you just compared them in terms of being able to disrupt a piece of the laws of power, he could disrupt the five-element power of heaven and earth around the opponent before the opponent launched an attack, preventing the opponent from launching this kind of fire-attribute attack.
But the opponent could also, before him, first isolate his part of the heaven and earth, preventing him from stirring the five-element power of heaven and earth.
It all depended on who had a deeper and stronger understanding of their own laws of power. If it surpassed the opponent by too much, even if they acted later, they could still forcibly interrupt the enemy’s art.
These thoughts only flashed through Li Yan’s mind for a moment. The situation in front had changed again.
As soon as the “Golden-Winged Great Peng’s” figure was revealed, although he was shocked and angry at the “Dark Blaze Demondog’s” intervention, he immediately cast a spell to escape again.
In the current situation, he would not even think of fighting the few people. In that case, his head must have been kicked by a donkey.
As long as he could escape from here, he would definitely take revenge on these few cultivators who wanted to capture him. Someone actually wanted to make him a spirit pet. He was a prodigy of his generation in his clan. This made him extremely angry.
With a thought, a golden turtle shell with a distorted light, constantly blurring in the light, appeared under his huge claws.
He began to quickly activate a hand seal in his heart. A light immediately began to spread from the golden turtle shell, as if it was about to wrap him in it.
He no longer planned to merge into the void to escape, but to rely on this defensive magical treasure given to him by his clan to forcibly break out of the encirclement.
This magical treasure was his strongest defense. It could defend against a full-strength attack from an Initial-stage Spirit Transformation cultivator, and it could also instantly increase his physical strength by nearly three times.
With such an increase, he would definitely be able to break out by force. And if anyone wanted to clash with him head-on, the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” was confident that he could kill the other party.
But just as the golden turtle shell had just appeared, in the air on the other side, Jia Fugui made his move. An abacus that seemed to be made of neither copper nor iron had already appeared in his hand, and the one hundred and five beads instantly collided with each other.
A series of chaotic sounds, overwhelming, went towards the “Golden-Winged Great Peng.”
Instantly, within a certain range of space, a series of mixed and complicated sounds, as if thousands of people were chanting at the same time, began to appear one after another.
“… three up three, four up four, five up five, … two down five less three, three down five less two…”
The voices were high or low, male or female, shrill or muffled, like a series of sharp arrows, they all forcibly drilled towards the “Golden-Winged Great Peng’s” mind.
These sound wave attacks instantly covered him, causing the “Golden-Winged Great Peng’s” action of activating the magical treasure to suddenly stagnate.
The joint attack of the few people around was dense and seamless, continuous and endless, giving the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” no chance to breathe.
This “Golden-Winged Great Peng” desperately mobilized its Magical Power, wanting to activate the golden turtle shell under its claws.
But as soon as Jia Fugui made his move, his Magical Power was suddenly unable to condense smoothly, and the light on the golden turtle shell immediately began to flicker and become unstable.
Just as he suddenly bit his tongue, a sharp pain shot into his mind, making him a little clearer.
But just as he had just re-condensed his Magical Power, a sound with extreme penetrating power came at him.
“Ding!”
On the other side, Li Yan stood in the void, holding a copper bell in his hand and shaking it at the other party.
“Ah!”
The “Golden-Winged Great Peng,” which was desperately activating its Magical Power, in the next instant, let out a shrill and miserable scream.
His Sea of Consciousness, which was already splitting with a headache under Jia Fugui’s attack, had made his perception of the outside world become dull and ethereal.
This deep and crisp sound, like a long nail, directly wedged into his Hun and Po souls, causing his huge transformed body to suddenly freeze.
Then, the divine soul in the “Golden-Winged Great Peng’s” body suddenly felt like it was being forcibly torn apart.
This heart-wrenching pain instantly swept through his entire body’s bones, meridians, and even every pore, making him unable to help but scream in pain. The Magical Power he had just gathered in his entire body collapsed in an instant.
The golden turtle shell, no longer able to hold on, fell directly from under his claws…
And at the instant his Magical Power could not be condensed, Donglin Tingyue on the other side, attacked again!
She waved her snow-white jade-like hand, and a black great net suddenly appeared. Like a cloud of dark clouds, it instantly covered the head of the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” and fell down.
And with a flicker of Donglin Tingyue’s body, she had already arrived below the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” and caught the falling golden turtle shell.
After the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” was continuously attacked, he could no longer block the opponent’s attack. The black great net above his head covered his body at once.
The moment he was covered by the opponent’s magical treasure, the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” felt his body tighten, and he was imprisoned by a powerful force.
“You bastards, you all will die a terrible death. Let me out quickly…”
Although the “Golden-Winged Great Peng’s” consciousness was still a little blurry and his divine soul was still in excruciating pain, he instinctively knew that he was already in a precarious situation.
A great golden light shone from his body as he desperately fought against the black great net that covered him. It was just that he had already lost the initiative, and everything was in vain.
Four Nascent Soul realm experts had teamed up to plot against him. Unless he didn’t show his face, otherwise, as long as he fell into the trap, he would almost certainly be unable to escape.
This was a series of nested methods that the four had planned long ago. Not letting his spatial divine ability be used, with a well-planned surprise attack, every blow hit his joints, making him unable to use his strength.
This “Golden-Winged Great Peng,” apart from his speed, his true strength was at most comparable to Donglin Tingyue’s.
But with the joint suppression of Jia Fugui, Li Yan, and the “Dark Blaze Demondog,” pitifully, not only was his spatial divine ability not used, but even his Magical Power was imprisoned.
With his heaven-defying cultivation, he had only managed to display fifty to sixty percent of it before he was bound by the opponent’s magical treasure.
This black great net that Donglin Tingyue had deployed was a supreme treasure of the Donglin Family. The greatest function of this treasure was to be able to suppress some bloodline power.
Once a demonic beast lost its bloodline power, its cultivation would also weaken sharply.
The two sides fought extremely quickly, and it only took five or six breaths of time. It seemed extremely simple, but Donglin Tingyue and the others had secretly planned it countless times. It was interlinked and unavoidable.
“Quickly capture him!”
The big black dog urged rare.
He knew the “Heavenly Demon Prairie” better than these people. Although the surrounding demonic beasts might not have surrounded and killed them because of the “Glazed Butterfly” before, when these demonic beasts saw the human cultivators capture the “Golden-Winged Great Peng,” an instinctive impulse began to erupt. They actually became a little restless. In the end, it was their immense hatred for human cultivators.
In the distance, the woman in colorful clothes also did not expect that in just a few breaths of time, that abominable “Golden-Winged Great Peng” would be captured alive.
Her gaze was still flickering, and for a moment, she had not yet reacted.
A sharp look also flashed in Donglin Tingyue’s eyes. Then, she pulled her fingers, as if pulling a wireless rope tight in an instant.
The black great net rapidly shrank, and with the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” inside, it quickly flew towards her hand.
“Bang!”
And just as the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” in the black net had no more strength to resist, and the black net was about to fall into Donglin Tingyue’s hand, a muffled sound suddenly came from the black net, which had already transformed to the size of a head. This sound appeared abruptly, and the few people were all stunned.
But then, a pressure that made the souls of Li Yan and the other three tremble suddenly arose out of thin air, enveloping them from all directions!
Their minds were still on that short, muffled sound. The heart-palpitating feeling that enveloped them, the three people and one dog instinctively looked around.
In the next moment, they discovered that this heart-palpitating suppressive force was actually emanating from that cloud of black net.
Donglin Tingyue was even more astonished. Their family’s supreme treasure, once a demonic beast below the Spirit Transformation entered it, would soon be completely imprisoned.
Even if the other party could still use some divine ability, it would be weakened by tens of thousands of layers of restrictions inside, and its power would be almost invisible, and it would not be able to exert any power at all, let alone transmit such a heart-palpitating power.
“Not good, he has a life-saving talisman given by a high-level cultivator. Quick, run!”
Jia Fugui was knowledgeable and was the first to shout.
And at this time, the black net had already turned into the size of a drop of water and was grabbed by Donglin Tingyue.
And the terrifying power that seeped out from the black net had also disappeared from the surface of the water drop, but had begun to quickly gather in the air.
After Jia Fugui reminded them, his face changed drastically, and he had already turned into a faint streak of light and fled quickly towards the horizon.
“Let’s go!”
Li Yan’s pupils also suddenly shrank. He didn’t even have time to see clearly what that power had condensed into. He also gave a low shout, and his body also soared into the air.
With half of her pretty face exposed outside the mask, her face unsightly, Donglin Tingyue quickly glanced at the black water drop in her hand. At this time, the black water drop had become quiet and incomparable. She wished she could directly kill this “Golden-Winged Great Peng” inside.
The other party actually had such a supreme treasure on him. This meant that her family’s speculation should have been wrong. This “Golden-Winged Great Peng’s” status in the clan should be very high.
But this was not the time to dwell on these things. Ahead of her, Li Yan had also soared into the air. Donglin Tingyue and the “Dark Blaze Demondog” immediately followed, quickly fleeing towards the distant horizon.
In the distance, the woman in colorful clothes also sensed a terrifying power quickly condensing in the place where the “Golden-Winged Great Peng” had last disappeared. She trembled violently.
A boundless fear, from the depths of her soul, surged out like a flood. As soon as this fear arose, she felt as if she was about to die.
Originally, the woman in colorful clothes was about to enter her Cave Residence in this area and fully open the formation to avoid disaster. She also did not dare to stay here for another moment.
At that moment, without another word, she also flew quickly towards the outer direction of the prairie.
There was still a temporary Cave Residence of hers there. After she went there, she would completely seal that place, so that not a single bit of her aura would leak out again.
