War is the best test of character.
Cultivators, too, came from among mortals.
Compared to a few days ago, the restlessness in their eyes has gradually faded, and a sense of calm is gradually emerging from the four of them.
Despite the transformation, Chen Shuangbai showed no desire to linger in the fight.
But Ji Yang seemed to have some ideas.
From the Heart-Eroding Devil Cultivator stronghold he destroyed yesterday, he learned that the team his Senior Brother Yue was with had been captured by the False Foundation Establishment cultivator guarding the place, and their chances of survival were slim.
He was naturally seething with anger.
Wang Tongfang was the same, only she was calmer than Ji Yang, who was more outgoing.
Chen Shuangbai knew that the two of them were not in good condition, and since it was almost time, she decided to go back.
Day four, night.
The four stood before a water vein. Chen Shuangbai raised her hand and summoned water vapor, enveloping them in a layer of water film. Then, she plunged directly into the water with a gurgling sound.
The river was deep enough and flowed towards the territory of the Empty Sword Sect, so the group planned to use this waterway to return quietly.
The Law Technique Chen Shuangbai was using at this moment was the " Flowing Cloud Water Horse Scroll " that he had chosen to study as a supplementary text half a year ago. One of the Law Technique, called "Diving into the Abyss Diving Shadow Escape," could summon water vapor to envelop himself, combine with the fluctuations of the water veins, and use the power of the water veins to propel him into stealth.
This is a good stealth Law Technique.
The four of them traveled downstream, stealthily avoiding the Devil Cultivator and insect beasts patrolling and guarding the shore and the sky. Occasionally, they could also sense a large number of insect beasts crossing overhead.
Lin Jingtao couldn't help but whisper in their ears with his spiritual sense, "Good heavens, they've mobilized all of them, planning to capture us alive, haven't they?"
Wang Tongfang, however, held a different opinion, saying, "We've made such a commotion; I reckon they didn't capture us alive, but rather strangled us on the spot."
That's correct.
Lin Jingtao thought about it and agreed.
If it were your own people, and an enemy caused such a commotion on your own property, you would want to kill them as soon as possible.
The group followed the river downstream.
No one noticed them along the way, and their journey home was as smooth as it could possibly be.
Seeing that they would enter the territory of the Empty Sword Sect once they crossed the forest ahead, the tense expressions of the group relaxed considerably.
At that moment, Chen Shuangbai suddenly manipulated the water flow to stop.
" Senior Brother Chen, what's wrong?"
Lin Jingtao stepped forward and asked, while their spiritual senses cautiously probed ahead, but they could only occasionally see fish swimming underwater, without any ambushes or insects.
Chen Shuangbai did not answer immediately, but raised her hand to signal them to wait a moment, and then slowly closed her eyes.
Gradually, a unique perspective, looking down from a high altitude, appeared before Chen Shuangbai.
That was Feiguang's vision.
When deciding to infiltrate this place, Chen Shuangbai had already released Feiguang.
Feiguang Snow-Plumed Eagle, the king of the snow mountains, a fierce bird among birds, with outstanding flying ability, able to evade those low-altitude patrolling insects and beasts, and always fly at an altitude of ten thousand meters.
In addition, it was fed very well by Chen Shuangbai, and when it was full of energy and in excellent condition, it could maintain its flight state for about seven or eight days.
When deciding to enter this place, Chen Shuangbai had Feiguang follow her movements.
On one hand, they serve as a surprise force; on the other hand, they constantly observe the surrounding environment to determine if there is an ambush.
Chen Shuangbai didn't hide anything from the group, and they immediately realized what was going on. They all quieted down and waited for Chen Shuangbai's decision.
Under Feiguang's special vision, small gray-black dots were constantly surging in from all around the river, but they did not attack. Instead, they gently landed on the trees on both sides, and their numbers were increasing.
Chen Shuangbai saw clearly that they were grayish-brown butterflies.
He couldn't determine whether these butterflies possessed strong offensive capabilities, but this was Heart-Eroding Stronghold, Heart-Eroding Stronghold skilled at cultivating insects and beasts. Besides, it wasn't the peak season for butterflies, and such a large gathering of butterflies...
Chen Shuangbai suddenly opened her eyes and shouted, "Get out of here!"
In the river, the four figures suddenly burst out of the water, transforming into four streaks of speed, flying towards the territory of the Empty Sword Sect at top speed beyond the forest.
at the same time.
Suddenly, a large number of grayish-brown butterflies fluttered up from the trees on both sides of the forest, creating a rustling sound and a strange vibration.
From the hills not far away, a buzzing sound arose as dozens of ferocious insect beasts and a dozen or so Heart-Eroding Devil Cultivator suddenly flew out, spewing out a barrage of insidious demonic Law Technique.
Upon seeing this, Chen Shuangbai had a thought, and the black bronze mirror flew out and landed on the heads of the four people. Stimulated by its Law Power, waves of water spread out, and the thick and calm waves blocked all the sinister Law Technique.
But this delay allowed the Devil Cultivator riding powerful flying insect beasts to close the distance considerably, and their venomous cries could be heard.
"Kill!"
Kill them!
"The master said: If you successfully kill one person, you will be rewarded with a bottle of Heart-Rotting Pill!"
Their faces were contorted with rage, like demons crawling out of the underworld. They had gradually lost the composure that cultivators should have, and were utterly terrifying.
at the same time.
Hundreds of insect-beasts suddenly rose up in front of them. The Devil Cultivator stood on the insect-beasts, holding blood-red crystals the size of pigeon eggs in their hands. They poured their Law Power into them, and immediately blood-red light shone brightly.
In an instant, a large array formed a magical barrier in front of them, and a series of insidious Law Technique were thrown directly at Chen Shuangbai and his companions.
There's been a change ahead!
Lin Jingtao roared.
Seeing this, Ji Yang was about to charge towards the back.
Chen Shuangbai understood his thoughts; he wanted to buy the three of them a chance to escape. But before he could say anything, he suddenly sensed an extremely powerful aura approaching from behind at an incredible speed.
Zhang Heng, a cruel and ferocious smile on his face, was charging towards them at incredible speed!
" Foundation Establishment...!!!"
Chen Shuangbai raced, realizing that her chance of survival lay in those few short moments.
"Stand still!"
In the blink of an eye.
Chen Shuangbai has made her decision.
He raised his hand and aimed it at the magical barrier formed by the demonic array in front of him. All the power of the lightning seed in his body was gathered into this strike, and the lightning in his palm suddenly became intense!
A thick, eerie white bolt of Cold Light Yin Lightning, interwoven with cold light, suddenly cleaved out, carrying unparalleled power, and smashed a huge gash through the magical barrier formed by the demonic array in front of them.
In an instant, ice crystals scattered everywhere, countless white arcs of electricity shot out, and the corpses of insect beasts and Devil Cultivator fell like autumn leaves.
On the other hand, what about Chen Shuangbai and the other three...?
Suddenly, a cry from an eagle, as sharp as a hammer blow, pierced through the sky!
A white shadow suddenly swooped down from the sky, accompanied by a sudden gust of wind. When the sight was restored, the white shadow had already soared into the sky and disappeared into the thick clouds.
