The Battle Through Heaven
Moments of Life and Death
Wu Hao nodded. He took out a map scroll from his storage ring and slowly pushed it open. He used his finger to point to a certain area and said, ’’ According to our intelligence, several large factions of the ‘Black’ Alliance are heading to this place. I think that/that's your second brother should be there. According to our speed, we should be able to get there tomorrow morning. ’
Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He slowly calmed his somewhat anxious heart, and sat cross-legged on the griffin before closing his eyes to recuperate.
Xiao Yan's group avoided the fatigue of traveling with the ground and also many problems within ‘Black-Corner Region’ because they had griffin, a beast that specialized in long-distance air travel. Therefore, in one night, they had already begun to approach their destination. If they had walked instead, it would have been impossible for them to reach this place within four to five days even if everything had gone smoothly along the way.
Xiao Yan's gaze studying the mountains in the distance was covered by a faint mist as he stood on top of the griffin. The restlessness in his heart grew stronger the closer he got closer. Xiao Yan continued to feel this uneasiness for a few minutes before he could no longer hold back the emotions in his heart. He turned his head and spoke to Lin Yan, Wu Hao, and the others, ” I will move first, all of you should hurry and follow. ’
Wu Hao and the others were shocked when they heard this. However, they did not try to stop him. Given the forming power, it is likely that/that one could hardly find anyone who would cause him to suffer losses even in ‘Black-Corner Region’. Moreover, Xiao Yan was not a little novice who had just left the house. He was outstanding regardless of whether it was in terms of fighting experience or other areas. Therefore, Wu Hao and the others were not worried about him. They simply reminded him to be careful due to habit.
Xiao Yan smiled and nodded at Wu Hao and the others. His shoulders trembled, and a pair of beautiful fire wings stretched from his back. Perhaps it was because his Dou Qi had turned into a dark green color after the merger of ‘Heavenly Fire’, but the original green flame had turned into an emerald color. At a glance, it looked as if it was made of emerald, having an extremely beautiful appearance that caused others to feel envious. This could be deduced from the envy that appeared on everyone's face in the griffin behind him as his wings appeared.
The jade-like fire wings flapped gently as Xiao Yan leaped from the griffin's back. After a few wings straight from the wings, his body turned into a black shadow that quickly disappeared in front of everyone's sight.
’Ke Ke, looks like we need to increase our speed. Otherwise, everything might have been settled by this person by the time we got there. ” Wu Hao laughed when he saw Xiao Yan disappear quickly. With a wave of his hand, the ten plus griffins emitted a low rumbling sound as they immediately flapped their huge wings. Their huge bodies rode on the wind and rushed forward.
This was a mountainous region covered in complicated terrain. The huge trees around him were like pillars supporting the sky as they pierced through the clouds. They also make it difficult for sunlight to enter, so the mountain becomes very dark.
A huge fortress stood in the shade of large and dense trees in a certain place within the deep mountains, causing this place to be quite hidden. It is hard to find if someone accidentally searches for it.
The whole fortress was very quiet. However, there were quite a number of human figures that came and went. These black figures did not make any sound under their feet as they hurriedly rushed up and down the street. The entire fortress was filled with an anxious atmosphere but it did not seem to be confusing.
A human figure completely wrapped in a black robe stood upright and straight on the stage in the middle of the fortress. The dense bloody aura emitted from this person's body was something that could be clearly smelled even from a great distance away. However, the hundreds of black figures below the tall stage did not seem to smell it as they stood quietly and orderly. In addition to the sound of ‘hua hua’ emitted by black clothes when the wind blew, only the sound of very slow footsteps could be heard.
A black figure suddenly shot out from the distance amidst the calm atmosphere. Finally, he appeared under the tall stage, and knelt down with one knee on the ground. Her voice was low as she reported, ’’ Head. According to our secret investigation, about seven or eight secret guard posts we had in the forest had been secretly destroyed. From the appearance of some traces within the forest, it seems that our traces seem to have been found. This place is no longer safe. ’
’’Apakah’ Black Alliance ‘finally left us untouched.’’ The black-robed person on the high stage spoke in an indifferent voice. He slowly raised his head as the diffusing sunlight landed on that young face where a deadly aura seeped out. That appearance was actually Xiao Yan's second brother, Xiao Li!
” How many people surround us this time? ” Although he had heard this news that would make people restless, Xiao Li's face did not even change in the slightest. He was emotionless as his eyes swept over the black figure below while he spoke indifferently.
’’ There are at least two hundred people. All of them have great power. In addition, they work with each other quite well. ’’The black figure reported without hesitation.
’’ Who is their leader? ’’
” I have not seen it personally, but this subordinate has found members of ‘Sekte Blood’ among the factions that are around us. The worst case scenario should be that/it they are led by ‘Blood Sect’ leader, Fan Lao. ”
’’ Fan Lao huh .. ’’ Xiao Li slowly narrowed her eyes. A moment later, a savage smile spread from the corner of his mouth. It seems that the third brother has a bit of grudge with this old man who will not die? Back then, this fellow was also one of the top names who had participated in the attack against the Inner Academy.
” Anyway, I don't have much time left. Today, I will risk my life and have him buried with my third brother. ” Xiao Li smiled widely and darkly before immediately waving her hand gently. An indifferent voice echoed throughout the place, ” Murder Unit, hide yourself in the forest and pull as you fight. Try your best to weaken their fighting strength. Remember, even if you die, you must attract someone to cover you as a blanket. Otherwise, your death would be worthless. ’
TL: buried does not mean physically buried
”Ya sir!”
Almost half of the people below suddenly replied in unison. Their bodies immediately flashed, and black figures pierced through the shadows one after another. Finally, they jumped out of the defensive fortress and disappeared into the vast forest. They did not question the fate of their near death. This was because anyone within this Killing unit who questioned Xiao Li's words had already been removed. Those who could remain were basically the ones who gave up their hearts and even their souls to Xiao Li.
’’ Everyone will defend the fortress of defense. Defend with all your strength! ’
”Ya sir!”
The remaining people also responded in unison. Finally, their bodies flashed and entered into various dark and hidden corners of the defensive fortress. The dark black sharp daggers in their hands slowly emitted a cold glint.
Xiao Li's gaze was cold and indifferent as he looked at the black figure that disappeared. He slowly closed his eyes and a faint death aura surrounded his body as if he was a death god.
” Third Brother, wait for second brother to pull someone with me! ’
….
Countless numbers of sharp screams suddenly emanated from the lush green forest when morning arrived. A miserable scream echoed over the mountain, causing one to feel a chill all over the body.
Countless numbers of human figures filled with killing intent appeared in the dark forest. They quickly rushed towards their target when numerous black figures suddenly shot out from the shadows of the forest. They carried the slightly muffled sound of one's flesh being cut as fresh blood spilled …
Although the ambush's sudden killing caused certain units to suffer considerable losses, these people were obviously very experienced in combat. Hence, they could rely on their advantage in numbers to stabilize the situation in a very short period of time. After which, the two sides entered into an intense and fierce exchange …
Xiao Li, who closed his eyes while in the fortress, suddenly opened it. He observed dozens of black figures rushing back from within the forest. These figures quickly flashed into the fortress before they finally knelt down with one knee on the ground in front of the tall stage.
’’ Heads, more than half Murder unit dead. However, the other party's death toll is more than double that of ours. This time around, the troops that come around us are all elites of some large factions. Moreover, they had the help of three Dou Wangs and one Dou Huang! Our Homicide unit didn't get the results we wanted. ” Dark and deep voice emanated from the mouth of a black human figure.
Xiao Li's face was indifferent. He just nodded a little.
”Width. Be prepared to fight to the death with those who have attacked. ’’ Xiao Li lifted her chin and spoke indifferently.
Although Xiao Li ultimately did not say anything about the withdrawal, none of the black-skinned human figures like the wood said anything. All of them really did as they were told.
Xiao Li raised his gaze as he looked at the human figure that was starting to spread. After which, he stared at the distant forest as wild savagery surged onto his face.
The situation was actually worse than what the black human figure had reported. About five minutes later, several human figures emerged from within the forest. After that, more rushed out. Within minutes, the entire fortress had been surrounded to the point where water could not even pass.
’You should be the leader of an organization that doesn't even have a name, right?’
A cold laughter suddenly sounded in the air above the fortress. Xiao Li raised his head only to find four figures hanging in the air. A powerful aura wrapped around the entire fortress. The person in front surprised the leader of ‘Blood Sect’ who almost died at the hands of Xiao Yan back then, Fan Lao!
Xiao Li's gaze was dense as he stared at Fan Lao in the sky. But he didn't say anything. He clenched his hand, and a long, black spear appeared and appeared. The powerful silver-colored Dou Qi carried a faint rumbling rumble as it wrapped around the spear.
Fan Lao indifferently watched Xiao Li who put up the final resistance before dying. The first one waved his hand. ”Kill him.”
A fierce glint instantly appeared in the eyes of the three expert Dou Wangs behind Fan Lao after hearing the order. With a low shout, the three human figures carried a powerful aura as they rushed down rapidly from the sky like meteorites. The combined strength of the three Dou Wangs even caused the air to emit a rumbling sound.
Xiao Li's face was extremely ferocious as he looked at the three human figures rushing over. His grip on the long spear in his hand had become even tighter. He would not even fear a single Dou Wang. He would probably fall into a nagging battle against two Dou Wangs. On the other hand, fighting against three Dou Wangs would likely cause him to be at a disadvantage.
Although this was the case, Xiao Li did not even back down in the slightest. After not much time left, he did not have to worry about his life. What else is there to fear?
”Mati!”
A loud cry came out loudly from the mouths of the three Dou Wangs. The three of them clearly cooperated well with each other. Besides, they are also cruel people. Hence, the three of them joined hands to unleash a powerful attack as their first attack. Three powerful Dou Qi attacks flew across the sky before finally intertwining with each other like a trident that shot explosively towards Xiao Li!
” Only Dou Wang also dare to offend ‘Black’ Alliance. You are truly exaggerating your strength! ’’ Fan Lao raised the corner of his mouth. He spoke in a dark and cold manner when he looked at Xiao Li, who looked extremely small under the three powerful attacks.
Xiao Li watched the fierce attack that rushed over with a savage gaze. His long spear shook and a silver-colored light surged. The sound of rolling lightning was brewed at the end of his spear. A moment later, a silver-colored Dou Qi like a snake suddenly exploded explosively before three attacks collided with each other.
’’ Bang! ’’
A loud voice appeared in the air. A powerful energy ripple spread from it. While this wind spread, Xiao Li and the three experts were shaken and forced to take several steps back. However, it was clear that/that Xiao Li suffered an even greater loss. If one hears a low muffled sound from his throat, it appears that/it he has suffered some minor injuries during the collision.
Fan Lao's expression immediately became darker and colder as he stood in the sky and watched as Xiao Li managed to withstand the attacks of the three expert Dou Wangs, and clearly only suffered light injuries from him. His gaze was filled with envy as he watched Xiao Li take a dozen steps back. His body suddenly shook before it immediately disappeared.
On the ground, Xiao Li who had just stabilized his body, had no time to take a breath when his expression suddenly changed. Immediately, his palm was used to being shot fiercely in front of his body.
The figure of Fan Lao strangely appeared just as Xiao Li's palm attacked. With a cold and dark laugh, his tightly wrinkled hands met with Xiao Li's palm. A terrifying strength immediately surged out explosively!
’’ Grug! ’’
Xiao Li might be strong, but there was still an enormous gap when compared to an elite Dou Huang like Fan Lao. It was natural that/it would suffer losses in such a collision. Therefore, he immediately spat out a mouthful of fresh blood while his legs were dragged to the ground as he was forced back. Finally, his back collided with a huge rock. That power was unleashed and the boulder behind him was immediately filled with a countless number of crack lines. In an instant, it would be shattered.
Fan Lao coldly smiled as his eyes darkly glared at Xiao Li who had spewed blood. However, the former did not give the latter any time to recover. He clenched his fists, and a blood spear agglomerated within it. His hand trembled immediately, and the blood spear carrying a fishy scent as it rushed towards Xiao Li, whose Dou Qi within his body had become a little sluggish, in a lightning-like manner.
” You dare to kill people from my ‘BloodSecte. Today, I will break all your limbs and make you a blood slave! ‘
Due to the slow Dou Qi within his body, Xiao Li could only watch as a blood spear shot at him at this moment. He did not have the slightest ability to avoid it.
” Third brother, second brother is useless and actually cannot drag someone along with him. ’
A bitterness slowly appeared in the corner of Xiao Li's mouth as she looked at the blood spear that was quickly magnified in her eyes. He quietly closed his eyes and muttered with a sigh, ” It seems like the sky wants to destroy our Xiao clan .. ”
’’ Chi! ’’
A slight rumbling sound suddenly resounded in the sky just as the blood spear was about to attack Xiao Yan. Immediately, a wall of dark green flames suddenly appeared in front of Xiao Li, causing Fan Lao's face to suddenly change drastically. The blood spear looked like a boiling snowfall and quickly melted. What's more, it even emits ‘chi chi’ sound waves.
”Who is this? ‘Black’ Alliance we are doing a mission. Please don't put your nose in someone else's business! ’
Fan Lao's expression was extremely dark and cold when he saw the dark green flame that suddenly appeared. He raised his head and shouted out loud.
’Ke Ke, Sect Leader Fan, I haven't seen you for two years, but you've really become more impressive. Back then, you were lucky to get away with your life. I wonder if you will remain so lucky today? ’
A faint laughter quietly sounded in the sky. Immediately, a strange black-robed human figure appeared in the sky in front of the many shocked gazes. If you find any errors (broken links, non-standard content, etc.), please let us know so that we can fix them as soon as possible.
