Boom!
Boom!
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Dust and smoke filled the sky, shooting straight into the clouds. Rolling shockwaves swept in every direction as the earth shook without end, cracks spreading outward like a spiderweb that made one's scalp tingle.
Hearing the earth-shattering explosions behind her, Ya Fei was both frightened and deeply grieved.
Such a commotion could only have been caused by Elder Huang Tailang choosing to self-destruct.
The self-destruction of a Dou Wang powerhouse was enough to flatten everything within dozens of zhang and reduce it to ruins.
"Elder, if Ya Fei escapes, I will definitely avenge you one day and wipe out the Mad Sand Mercenary Group."
Ya Fei swore inwardly as the Dou Qi wings behind her back beat rapidly, carrying her away at full speed.
Yet before long, four streaks of light emerged from the billowing smoke.
Mad Wave was at the very front. Since Huang Tailang's self-destruction had mainly targeted him, he had suffered the greatest impact.
A faint earth-yellow suit of armor covered Mad Wave's burly body. This was Dou Qi Armor. The higher one's cultivation, the more solid the armor became and the greater its defense.
However, more than half of his earth-yellow armor had been damaged, and he was covered in injuries, making him look utterly wretched.
"That old bastard was actually decisive enough to self-destruct."
Black Widow could not help saying. She had also been caught in the blast, her body covered in a layer of gray dust.
"A Dou Wang's self-destruction is immensely powerful. If we hadn't reacted quickly, the price we paid would have been far greater. Quite a few Da Dou Shi under our Mad Sand Mercenary Group were killed by the aftershock. Our losses are severe."
The skinny man wore a frightened expression, secretly relieved that the old man had not used such a ruthless move while fighting him.
"Hmph. We'll recover the price we paid from that girl who ran away."
A savage gleam flashed in Mad Wave's eyes. With a beat of his wings, he immediately gave chase.
The other three exchanged glances and followed.
The mission their mercenary group had accepted was to ensure that those two never made it to Wutan City.
Although they despised the open and secret struggles and scheming within those great families, the nature of mercenary groups was to do work for money.
Ya Fei had not flown far when the four leaders of the Mad Sand Mercenary Group appeared behind her, the distance between them steadily closing.
She would be caught within a few breaths. If they caught her, Ya Fei could already foresee her fate.
It would definitely be worse than death. These mercenaries who lived by the blade were exceptionally twisted and depraved.
Faster!
Ya Fei cried out anxiously in her heart, occasionally looking back at the four leaders.
But all she saw was Mad Wave's savage, terrifying face, looking exactly like a beast.
Bang!
"Ah!"
It seemed as though she had crashed into something. Ya Fei cried out instinctively, her mind going blank as her body flew backward uncontrollably.
A look of terror appeared on her exquisite, stunningly beautiful face.
Because of the collision, her vision was somewhat blurry. She seemed to see someone!
As if her luck could not get any worse, her flying artifact seemed to malfunction at that moment. Her purple wings gradually faded away and vanished in the blink of an eye.
Ya Fei felt her body falling, a wave of sorrow rising within her as she thought:
From such a height, won't she fall to her death? Elder Huang Tailang's vengeance has yet to be taken. Dying from such a stifling fall would truly leave her unable to rest in peace.
But what happened next proved that... she had overthought it.
The person she had crashed into reached her side in an instant and grabbed her with a warm, powerful arm.
An incomparably handsome face radiating unparalleled charm entered her view!
How could there be such a handsome man in this world!
That was what Ya Fei was thinking at the moment. For a time, she was utterly amazed, as though she had seen a celestial being.
Wang Shu looked expressionlessly at the woman before him. He had been flying while meditating and cultivating. The moment he came back to his senses, a human-shaped cannonball had slammed straight into him?
Though this one was soft and squishy!
And she seemed to be a girl who had not fully grown up yet, though upon closer inspection, she was quite a fine beauty.
As her eyes shifted, a seductive aura inadvertently radiated from her, reminding him of his cheap disciple, Flame Spirit Ji.
"Hey, wake up. Stop staring like an idiot."
Wang Shu said with a stern face.
Only then did Ya Fei come back to her senses and realize that she had lost her composure. She immediately became immensely embarrassed, a blush spreading across her pretty face.
Wang Shu held Ya Fei with one arm to keep her from falling.
Because he discovered that this girl, who had just been flying through the sky, did not have even a trace of Dou Qi energy in her body. She was plainly an ordinary person.
Then how exactly had she been flying?
"Thank you, young master, for saving my life."
Ya Fei lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz. She did not dare meet Wang Shu's eyes and was extremely annoyed by her earlier lapse.
Seeing that the girl was sincere, Wang Shu's expression softened somewhat. What he feared most was encountering someone unreasonable and difficult.
"No need to thank me. I'm fine, but you were sent flying after hitting me. You didn't suffer any aftereffects, did you?" Wang Shu asked.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
As soon as he finished speaking, several streaks of differently colored light flew over in an instant, each of them radiating a fierce aura with a pair of wings behind their backs.
"Why aren't you running anymore? Watch me torture you viciously!"
Mad Wave shouted crudely. Huang Tailang's self-destruction had left him dazed, and he was bursting with pent-up rage.
Ya Fei's pretty face turned deathly pale. Still, she quickly said:
"Young master, they're here for me. Hurry and leave. Don't mind me!"
"Oh." Wang Shu replied.
"..." Ya Fei.
"Damn it, who the hell are you, pretty boy!"
Mad Wave noticed Wang Shu. As a ruthless man who lived by the blade, he had no taboos and immediately cursed at him.
"Boss, this man's aura is strange. I can't sense any Dou Qi cultivation from him at all," Black Widow, the second leader, said suspiciously.
"And despite seeing the four of us Dou Wangs, he shows no fear at all. Either he has something to rely on..."
"Or he's an idiot!"
Before the skinny man could finish, Mad Wave interrupted him and drew a huge saber four to five chi long.
The saber emitted a ghostly white glow. Its chilling blade aura stung their faces painfully, as though they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Young master, they're from the Mad Sand Mercenary Group. They're very powerful..." Ya Fei could not help warning him.
Yet Wang Shu merely sighed gloomily and muttered:
"There are thousands upon thousands of roads in this world. Why did you insist on choosing the road to death?"
"Isn't living good enough?"
"Pretty boy, quit acting so damn smug!"
"Watch me use a Profound Rank High Level Dou Skill!"
"Mad Wind Severing Strike!"
Mad Wave roared. Powerful earth-yellow Dou Qi erupted from his burly body as he swung his saber, unleashing a thirty-meter-long silver-white blade aura that tore through the air as though it had split space itself apart.
He hated people who were more handsome than him, especially those who acted so smug.
The thirty-meter saber arrived in an instant, its sharp blade aura splitting the clouds high in the sky in two.
Violent Dou Qi energy surged wildly from both sides of the blade, causing the air to churn intensely.
"Be careful!" Ya Fei cried out.
Wang Shu smiled faintly. The Thousand Machine Umbrella appeared in his hand out of thin air. With a casual flick, the energy of heaven and earth around them erupted as endless Fire Element was drawn in.
Following the spear tip of the Thousand Machine Umbrella, a massive blazing fire dragon dozens of zhang long coiled upward, its roar resounding in all directions.
