Chapter 1066: Who is the one at the end of the rope?
Translator: Lordbluefire Editor: Lordbluefire
Right now, Nanfeng Yunxi was together with Qin Wentian, riding the puppet phoenix as they shuttled past the canyon. Other than the two of them, there was another female expert from the Southern Phoenix Clan. This female was someone in charge of protecting Nanfeng Yunxi and she has a very high cultivation base.
"There are three people catching up to us. Dongsheng Ting, and two from the Violet Emperor's faction. One of them has a low cultivation base, merely at the fourth-level. However, his status should be extraordinary and his protector is extremely powerful." The lady beside Nanfeng Yunxi spoke.
"In that case, Dongsheng Ting's guard must have been obstructed." Qin Wentian's eyes flickered as he spoke. "Will you be able to handle that person from the Violet Sect with the high level of cultivation?"
"If we both use immortal weapons, I don't dare to say for sure that I can defeat him but there should be no problem to delay him." She spoke.
"Good. In that case I would have to trouble senior to remain behind to stop the guard. You only need to obstruct him and leave Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu to me and Yunxi." Qin Wentian spoke.
"No problem." The female nodded. Her silhouette flickered as immortal might gushed forth from her. A fearsome image of a phoenix appeared in the air, obstructing the way. When Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu saw this, their eyes flickered. They mutually exchanged a glance, feeling that this matter was extremely troublesome. If they were obstructed here again, Qin Wentian might really give them the slip.
Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu, who was at the fourth-level of immortal foundation, felt that the two of them could handle Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi for sure. In addition, they had many immortal weapons at hand while their opponents wouldn't be able to use any. The two of them possessed an absolute advantage.
"Go deal with her. The two of us will continue chasing." Zi Yunwu didn't hesitate and commanded.
That person nodded. Zi Yunwu has many treasures on him, if he was together with Dongsheng Ting, the chances of failure was nil.
They continued speeding forth, and the flying boat they were on arced through the sky like a bolt of lightning. The female protector from the Southern Phoenix Clan was shocked by its speed. Since it came to this, her job was to delay the guard as long as possible.
"Under the circumstances of us not being able to use immortal weapons, we would be at a disadvantage if we fought two against two. Dongsheng Ting is the son of the Eastern Sage Immortal Emperor, and the other person seems to be a descendant of the Violet Emperor as well. The treasures on them would surely be in abundance." Nanfeng Yunxi spoke to Qin Wentian.
"I know." Qin Wentian nodded. "Let's continue on our way."
"Okay." Nanfeng Yunxi didn't know what Qin Wentian was thinking but when she saw how confident he was, she felt certain that Qin Wentian would surely have a trump card capable of dealing with Dongsheng Ting.
"Qin Wentian, you won't be able to escape." From behind, a voice drifted over, echoing within the ancient mountain. Qin Wentian sped forward with even more speed and would occasionally encounter attacks generated by the divine essence. He had to guard his mind and steady his spirit to defend against the energy from the divine essence.
Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi finally arrived at a location with level ground. His silhouette flashed as he waved his hand. Instantly, a rumbling thunderous sound rang out as a majestic ancient city appeared before them. It was none other than the ancient and mobile Driftsnow City.
"Chi~!" Dongsheng Ting's flying boat directly broke through the air and arrived a few moments after them. The spinning wheel in his hand grew larger, its aura felt as though it could even absorb the heavens. Right now, under the pressure of the might generated from the spinning wheel, even the Driftsnow City was trembling.
"What level of immortal-ranked weapon is that exactly?" Nanfeng Yunxi stared at the spinning wheel of Dongsheng Ting. It felt like it was the king of immortal weapons, able to absorb everything.
"BOOM!" Qin Wentian stomped on the ground. Bell chimes echoed through the air as fearsome arrows broke through space, shooting towards Dongsheng Ting. However with the spinning wheel in his hand, he effortlessly blocked all the attacks. And all those arrows that were as sharp as divine weapons were all absorbed into the spiral created by the spinning wheel. The silver light from the wheel then enveloped the gigantic ancient city, causing it to tremble even more intensely. Nanfeng Yunxi had no choice but to keep her puppet phoenix.
"With that treasure in his hand, including those guards protecting Dongsheng Ting...even if the experts on my side in the ancient mountain are as common as clouds, it would be as tough as ascending to the heavens if one wanted to kill him. However sadly, Dongsheng Ting has purposely chosen a path of death for himself." Qin Wentian's eyes were ice-cold, gleaming with killing intent. He kept the ancient city and continued moving forward with Nanfeng Yunxi.
"Do you really think you can flee?" Dongsheng Ting laughed coldly as his long hair fluttered in the wind, exuding an aura of extreme tyranny. The spinning wheel reduced in size, he mounted the flying boat together with Zi Yunwu and chasing after Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi. Given how little the distance between them was, it was basically impossible for Qin Wentian to escape from here.
"Let's go down." In front of them, a place surrounded by mountain walls could be seen. Qin Wentian brought Nanfeng Yunxi along and directly entered the place while Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu hurriedly pursued after. Finally, after entering this place, Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi no longer tried to flee ahead. Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu stood on their flying boat in the air and peered imperiously downwards, coldly staring at Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi.
"Holy successor of the Southern Phoenix Clan, why must you interfere in this? Please just leave the area." Dongsheng Ting spoke to Nanfeng Yunxi. Nanfeng Yunxi would surely have protective immortal senses on her body. Although immortal senses couldn't exist for long in this place, as long as it was triggered, the Southern Phoenix Clan would know that he was the one who wanted to kill Nanfeng Yunxi. If it wasn't for this, he would long have made Nanfeng Yunxi pay for her actions. This woman had a lofty status and was extremely beautiful.
Nanfeng Yunxi was as though she could sense the nefarious thoughts in Dongsheng Ting's eyes. Her gaze flickered with coldness but at this moment, Qin Wentian was trembling violently, involuntarily taking a few steps back. A bolt of thunder went off in his mind and when Nanfeng Yunxi inclined her head, her gaze suddenly froze as well. Only now did she realize that on the walls in the surroundings, the energy of the divine essence could be felt contained within, condensing into formless attacks that blasted into them.
"RUMBLE~" She took a step back and groaned in a low voice. Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu also both discovered that something was wrong. The divine essence here was extremely strong. To think that Qin Wentian actually chose such a location.
"Don't stare at the walls." Qin Wentian spoke to Nanfeng Yunxi. If one didn't look at or extend their perception, they wouldn't suffer the attacks formed by the divine essence. Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu also discovered this point. They fixed their gaze completely on Qin Wentian and Nanfeng Yunxi, not daring to attempt to sense the divine essence.
"Qin Wentian, how do you want to die?" Dongsheng Ting spoke arrogantly.
"Are you so sure of your own capabilities?" Qin Wentian stared at him.
"Back then you are merely an ant from a country bumpkin world in my eyes. Do you really think you can become a dragon? You will always be a lowly existence in my eyes. Even if you obtain the help of the Southern Phoenix Clan and Qing`er, you will still die here in the end. After your death, I will go with my royal father to the Evergreen Immortal Empire to pay a visit to the Evergreen Immortal Emperor as well as to Qing`er." A pair of gloves radiating a powerful immortal might appeared on his palms as Dongsheng Ting spoke.
"Dongsheng Ting are you so afraid of me? Why are you acting so cautious?" Qin Wentian stared at Dongsheng Ting as a mocking smile could be seen on his face. He then turned his gaze to Zi Yunwu, "Are you a descendant of the Violet Emperor?"
"I am Zi Yunwu. The Violet Emperor is my uncle. Since my cousin Daoyang has died, you must be buried with him." Zi Yunwu coldly spoke. Towering amounts of violet light radiated from him, capable of dominating everything. This was the secret art of the Violet Emperor - the Ultimate Violet Saint Immortal Art. It contained boundless might and he who is currently at the fourth-level of immortal-foundation, when he activated this secret art, was much stronger than Zi Daoyang in comparison.
"Who?" At this moment, Zi Yunwu suddenly turned his head. After which, he saw a human and a demonic beast walking over here. This person had a bronze mask obscuring his features, but the eyes which were revealed to the outside were extremely cold.
"Sir, this has nothing to do with you. You best leave here with haste." Zi Yunwu flicked his sleeves as he spoke.
"Bzzz~" A diagram appeared above the mysterious masked young man, soaring up into the sky. After that, it transformed into a scroll so large that it blotted out the sun, wanting to seal this place away. Terrifying black-colored runic light flowed around the scroll, causing both Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu to frown. Dongsheng Ting's spinning wheel shimmered with silver light and grew larger as the terrifying absorption energy flew towards the scroll in the air, wanting to envelop and devour it completely.
However, the absorption silver light was blocked by a mysterious force. The black runes flowing on the scroll sealed the absorption energy away completely. The spinning wheel had no way to accomplish its objective.
"Hand over all your immortal treasures to me." That masked young man spoke. The countenance of Dongsheng Ting and Zi Yunwu grew heavy while a cold smile appeared on their faces. What a joke, handing all their treasures to him? How can this be possible.
"Sir, you best not seek your doom." Dongsheng Ting stared at the young man clad in the bronze mask as he threatened.
"How about we join hands?" The masked expert spoke to Qin Wentian.
"Sounds good to me." Qin Wentian nodded.
"You must be courting death." Dongsheng Ting's expression turned ashen. He stared at Zi Yunwu, "Brother Zi, kill him first, I will ensure Qin Wentian doesn't join the battle."
"Mhm." Zi Yunwu nodded. His immortal might gushed forth frenziedly as a terrifying violet-colored giant appeared behind him. His entire body was shimmering in violet light, containing a supreme power within.
"BOOM!" Stepping out, Zi Yunwu stepped towards the masked expert. Lifting his hand, he blasted out an indomitable purple palm imprint that crushed everything in its way.
Yet another diagram manifested before the young man with the bronze mask. It spiralled about in a frenzied motion, one Yin, and the other Yang, converging together to form the universal Eight Trigrams. An almighty sealing attribute energy gushed forth from it. The diagram seemed to transform into real living creatures in the form of a Yin-Yang Fish, flopping about in the diagram as though desiring to swim out of it. When that tyrannical purple palm imprint came smashing down, the entire power behind that palm imprint was sealed away in an instant as the palm imprint shattered into nothingness.
"Seals?" Zi Yunwu's eyes flickered. He saw the diagram growing bigger and bigger, hanging suspended high up in the air. The Yin-Yang Fish in the diagram represented the center of Taichi, numerous fish then manifested, swimming all around before they erupted forth with overwhelming speed. When the Yin-Yang fish came into contact with his body, Zi Yunwu only felt his immortal foundation shaking as a formless energy was attempting to seal his entire immortal foundation away.
"BREAK!" Zi Yunwu roared. Stomping out, a violet spear appeared in his hand. With a thunderous boom, it shot through the air, expanding continuously to a size of over ten meters, wanting to pierce through the throat of the masked young man.
"BOOM!" The palm of the masked young man blasted out, manifesting yet another fearsome sealing diagram. The violet spear directly stabbed into it but the force of the spear was stopped by the diagram. A moment later, a deafening blast rang out as both the diagram and spear shattered. At this moment, the black hound beside the masked young man lunged over with thunderous growls. Its body grew larger and larger as it swiped down with its sharp claws. Strangely enough, atop his claws, a sealing diagram appeared as well. This caused the expression on Zi Yunwu's face to turn incomparably ugly. Sealing-attribute energy techniques were extremely troublesome to deal with.
Dongsheng Ting stared at their battle as he begin to frown. However right now he heard Qin Wentian speaking, "Are you counting on Zi Yunwu? Things don't seem to look good."
Dongsheng Ting's gaze landed on Qin Wentian. His entire being was radiating killing intent as he coldly spoke, "Even if I'm alone, do you really believe that I can't kill you?"
"Are you really so confident? Seeing you decked in immortal-ranked defensive armor and wielding immortal weapons, it's only natural you would be so gutsy. However, your true self is naught but a coward. That hasn't changed at all." Qin Wentian's expression was cold. Dongsheng Ting was clad in armor and had the all-absorption spinning wheel in his hand. His palms were also equipped immortal-ranked gloves, and he was fully armed to the teeth.
"BOOM!" Immortal might from Dongsheng Ting gushed forth, as he silently cursed the mysterious masked young man in his heart. Initially it was a piece of cake for him and Zi Yunwu to kill Qin Wentian but when that troublesome fellow appeared, he changed the battle situation. But even so, he would still make sure that Qin Wentian dies here today. The ending wouldn't change!
At this moment, the scroll enveloping this space started to radiate runic energy in its surroundings. That terrifying sealing-attribute energy wanted to completely seal off this entire space!
