Chapter 1888: 1888
There were too many Heaven Devouring Ants . Even working together, Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can were only able to temporarily create an opening . This opportunity was fleeting .
The experts that the three of them had secretly communicated with about this plan had already drawn close and charged out as soon as they attacked .
As for the others, they were one step slower, and as a result, the terrifying army of Heaven Devouring Ants instantly collapsed on them, covering their exit .
Cries of despair rang out . With Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can leaving, they wouldn’t have any hope of escaping . They would only be waiting for death .
“Senior, you can’t abandon us!”
Similar cries rang out, but Di Feng and the others acted like they didn’t hear . As a result, the army of Heaven Devouring Ants split in two, one annihilating the experts that had been abandoned, while the rest charged at Di Feng’s fleeing group .
True Immortal Jiaoqi looked back at the group of less than five hundred people they had managed to bring out . Amongst them, there weren’t even a hundred Xuan Beasts .
The Xuan Beasts possessed large bodies, and so the area they had to defend was many times greater than others . This time, the Xuan Beasts had taken the worst losses .
Over a thousand of them had come, but less than a hundred were coming out . This was the greatest defeat in his life . Furthermore, he still didn’t know how he had lost .
“Bastards! The door’s been blocked by them!”
When Di Feng saw that the exit was blocked by a stone gate, his expression instantly changed . This meant Long Chen and the others had already left, sealing them inside .
“Attack together!” Break this damn door!” Seeing the exit sealed, True Immortal Jiaoqi’s anger soared . His qilin halberd lit up, and the light of a paragon art pierced forward .
Di Feng and Gui Can didn’t have time to overthink things . They also attacked all out because they couldn’t tarry . If the army of Heaven Devouring Ants behind them caught up, the same story would repeat itself .
BOOM!
The entire world shook . Tiny cracks appeared on the stone gate, but it didn’t immediately shatter .
“Ah!”
Suddenly, cries rang out . The shockwaves of three paragon arts forced the surrounding experts back, and some of them were thrown into the army of Heaven Devouring Ants . In that instant, their original army of three thousand experts was reduced to just the three of them .
True Immortal Jiaoqi let out a berserk roar . Unable to accept this reality, he attacked the stone door repeatedly . He had entered a crazy state .
Finally, the stone door burst apart . At that moment, divine light erupted . An arrow, saber-image, and Sword Qi all rushed out .
“It’s an ambush!” shouted Di Feng . The three of them activated their paragon arts to defend .
BOOM!
Mountains crumbled and the earth collapsed . The light of paragon arts pierced out in every direction .
Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can all coughed up blood and were blown backward . Their hasty defense put them at a disadvantage .
As for Long Chen, Mo Nian, and Yue Xiaoqian, they were standing in the exit . Clearly, they had been lying in wait .
The berserk power unleashed by the six of them caused the tomb to collapse . Heavenly Dao energy from the outside world was surging into it, wreaking havoc . A giant whirlpool appeared, sucking the contents of the minor world inside .
“The minor world is crumbling! If we get sucked in, we’ll die!” Yue Xiaoqian was appalled at this sight and hastily sent a message to the other two . The three of them hastily retreated .
It was quite literally the apocalypse . This minor world’s life had come to an end, and everything sucked into the whirlpool was turned to dust .
The Heaven Devouring Ants were crushed without the slightest ability to resist . As for Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can, their expressions changed . Even for experts as powerful as them, being drawn into this whirlpool would spell certain death .
Gui Can had it the worst because his power was the weakest . He had also been blown back the furthest from the ambush .
He was the closest to the whirlpool, and as he tried to fly away, an arm and leg were torn off his body .
With a furious roar, Gui Can raised his staff . Divine light enveloped his body, and he suddenly sped away .
The rest of him managed to escape, but his arm and leg were sucked up by the whirlpool .
Gui Can had a horrified expression . Fortunately, what had been devoured wasn’t the arm holding his staff, or he’d have died .
Wrapped up in the light of his staff, he sped to the front . Just as he was about to escape the pull of the whirlpool, a five-colored arrow shot toward his heart .
“Mo Nian!” Gui Can let out a furious howl . At this critical moment, Mo Nian was actually sneak attacking him .
Bang!
However, on its flight toward him, the arrow was smashed apart by a halberd . True Immortal Jiaoqi had saved him .
He had no other choice . If in a three-against-three, they were unable to suppress them, then without Gui Can, they would be in danger in a two-against-three .
The minor world gradually faded away, and the whirlpool shrank . In the end, the only thing left to show that it had ever existed was a bottomless hole .
“Long Chen, face your death!”
Just as Long Chen was preparing to ignite more of his green dragon essence blood to fight True Immortal Jiaoqi, a roar came from the distance .
“It’s Huo Lieyun! Xiaoqian, you have to leave!” Long Chen’s expression changed . He saw countless experts charging over from every direction .
It was unknown if they had been summoned by Di Feng or drawn over by the fluctuations . In any case, more and more experts were coming, with many top experts amongst them .
Yue Xiaoqian nodded . Forming hand seals, she began to chant a scripture . Runes appeared around her, and his body rapidly faded .
“You think you can run? Keep dreaming!” Di Feng saw this and immediately attacked, but he was blocked by Mo Nian’s arrow .
Before anyone else could do anything, Yue Xiaoqian vanished . She had used some secret technique to flee .
“So? Should we continue?” Mo Nian looked at Long Chen .
“Continue for what? That Huo Lieyun’s a tough opponent, and I also sense Xie Luo’s aura . Let’s end things here . We’ve already gotten our money’s worth,” said Long Chen .
“Alright then . ” Mo Nian nodded . “Count yourselves lucky! Next time, your daddy Mo won’t let you off so easily!”
Mo Nian took out a strange object that looked like the tip of a spear . It was pitch-black and just over three meters tall .
This strange object suddenly opened . It drew Long Chen and Mo Nian inside . Then, runes activated around it and it prepared to leave .
“Die!”
Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can launched powerful attacks that slammed into it . However, it simply flew away without the slightest damage .
“Children, your daddy Mo’s Earth Splitting Divine Shuttle can’t be damaged by even Netherpassage experts . As for you few? Hehe, don’t even bother trying . ”
Mo Nian’s mocking voice rang out . That strange Earth Splitting Divine Shuttle sped away .
Mo Nian actually flew it straight toward Huo Lieyun . Hence, Huo Lieyun took out his spear and activated its divine power, smashing it at the Earth Splitting Divine Shuttle .
As a result, Huo Lieyun was sent flying, hacking up blood . As for the Earth Splitting Divine Shuttle, it was sent flipping through the air by the impact .
“Damn, that Huo Lieyun’s pretty strong! Even without a paragon art, his attack is on the level of a Netherpassage expert!” exclaimed Mo Nian .
“Stop playing around . Let’s hurry up and leave,” said Long Chen irritably .
“It’s fine, I once used the Earth Splitting Divine Shuttle to play around with a dozen Netherpassage experts . Even after several hours, they weren’t able to break its defenses . It’s a supreme treasure,” said Mo Nian confidently .
This Earth Splitting Divine Shuttle was something he had found in an ancient tomb . It was a funerary object for a supreme expert . It was thanks to it that after all his years of grave robbing, no one had managed to kill him . This was another reason why Mo Nian could be so arrogant as to sweep through the Western Xuan Region with no one able to stop him .
“The problem isn’t its defenses . All I know is if this continues, I’ll puke!” shouted Long Chen . Flipping through the air like this made him nauseous .
After all, Long Chen wasn’t Mo Nian . After his years of experience, Mo Nian was already used to it, but Long Chen wasn’t .
“Alright, we’ll go . ” Mo Nian was a bit unwilling, but seeing more and more experts coming, he knew that killing Di Feng and the others wasn’t possible . They could only leave .
The Earth Splitting Divine Shuttle transformed into a shooting star that streaked over the horizon, vanishing from people’s sight . That speed made them feel despair .
“Bastards!” Huo Lieyun let out an angry roar . He wanted to block them, but the Earth Splitting Divine Shuttle was too fast .
Di Feng, True Immortal Jiaoqi, and Gui Can’s expressions were ugly . This time, they had suffered a double loss .
The three thousand experts that they had gathered had been annihilated . Amongst them were quite a few of their trusted subordinates .
Now experts from all the various powers had rushed over here . They looked at the three of them and their wretched appearances . Their gazes made the three of them want to start killing .
“What happened?” demanded a dark-faced Xie Luo to Gui Yan .
“You aren’t qualified to ask me . If you want answers, ask someone else . I’m not your subordinate,” snorted Gui Can . He turned and left just like that .
Clearly, Gui Can was too infuriated to answer Xie Luo’s questions . More importantly, he didn’t have the face to give the real answer .
True Immortal Jiaoqi also left on his own without looking at anyone .
Only Di Feng’s expression was calm . He was spiritually telling Huo Lieyun and Xie Luo what had happened .
“Long Chen and Mo Nian are both sinister and crafty . If we want to kill them, we’ll probably need to make things more difficult for them . We can’t be careless . Otherwise, if after all of us were mobilized and they still survive, we’ll be humiliated,” said Huo Lieyun after hearing the story .
“Let’s go . We should set up around the Yin Yang Valley . It won’t be long before it opens . Long Chen and Mo Nian will definitely appear there . We’ll make sure that they can never leave the Yin Yang World,” said Di Feng .
Huo Lieyun nodded . Xie Luo also expressed his consent . There really wasn’t much time left . It was time for a decisive clash .
