Chapter 205: Flight Amidst Blood
“Ahh!”
Boom!
A loud cry and a explosion resounded simultaneously.
In face of the scorching blaze, the horrified Liu Shaoyuan quickly summoned a white divine light screen and a black artifact shield.
However, the golden blaze of the Divine Six-Suns Firefork smashed in and instantly shattered the black artifact shield into pieces. Following that, the white divine light screen flickered for a split second before shattering as well.
Then, the Divine Six-Suns Firefork struck against Liu Shaoyuan’s chest with unstoppable momentum.
KAZSST! Even his cyan robe, which appeared like a top grade defensive artifact robe, couldn’t defy the might of the Divine Six-Suns Firefork that had just broke through two defensive barriers. However, it failed to puncture through the artifact shield, but only sent Liu Shaoyuan flying backwards as his chest emitted bone fracturing sounds.
Struck in such a severe manner, Liu Shaoyuan directly fainted while still crashing away in mid-air.
“Impudent! Who dares to act violently in Perching Phoenix City!”
All of a sudden, a scholarly looking yellow-robed cultivator emerged before Wei Suo. This was also a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 4 cultivator. He initially adopted a composed expression but upon witnessing Liu Shaoyuan getting struck flying without being able to defend, his expression turned incomparably pale as he roared with imposing words but a cowardly tone. Then, he scrambled in panic to summon out various defensive artifacts.
Instead, Wei Suo didn’t wish to be tangled up with him. After he just summoned two artifact shields, Wei Suo was already soaring dozens of meters away on his White Jade Crane.
The stunned cultivator, who was scrambling to summon his defensive artifacts, was instantly flabbergasted by Wei Suo’s escape. He then proceeded to fly to the unconscious Liu Shaoyuan before activating a red jade talisman.
The red jade talisman shattered and released a red beam into the sky. Instantly, it transformed into a ma.s.sive blood moon above the entire Perching Phoenix City.
Consecutively, at least 20 plus flying lights soared up from Perching Phoenix City.
Upon noticing those flying lights, Wei Suo cursed bitterly in his heart as he urged the White Jade Crane to its maximum velocity.
In the blink of an eye, he was now a rogue cultivator against all cultivators of this city. Thus, wanting to utilize the city’s transportation array was simply impossible and fleeing by the wilderness was the only alternative left.
“Who are you?!”
Wei Suo was soaring towards a direction without a flying light. Despite that, not too far from the city wall of Perching Phoenix City, two cultivators abruptly surfaced and shouted at Wei Suo sternly.
“Scram!”
Wei Suo didn’t dare to tarry and immediately activated his Divine Six-Suns Firefork at the two random cultivators.
“Divine Six-Suns Firefork!”
The features of the two cultivators couldn’t be determined under the darkness of night. Still, they were rather knowledgeable and immediately exclaimed when the Divine Six-Suns Firefork was activated. Then, they strove to stack layers of defence.
Boom! Pa! Explosions pierced the air as the Divine Six-Suns Firefork shattered some of the two cultivators’ defense and returned to Wei Suo’s hand.
Following that, Wei Suo surged past above the two cultivators without slowing down.
Seeing there was only one final divine light screen shielding them, the two cultivators broke out in cold sweat.
At this moment, the cultivators responsible for those flying lights in Perching Phoenix City had identified Wei Suo’s fleeing orientation. They soared in simultaneously like meteorites catching a moon.
A couple dozen of flying lights in mid-air pursuing a single streak of white light. It was indeed a splendid sight to behold.
“Wakao!”
Wei Suo glanced backwards and quickly stored his White Jade Crane with an exceedingly sullen expression. A firecloud was conjured beneath his feet as he activated his Firecloud Flying Skill.
Flying artifacts were pretty rare and Wei Suo considered himself as freaking impressive amongst the loose cultivators of Spirit Peak City. However, he noticed that amongst the cultivators pursuing him, more than half of them possessed flying artifacts better than the White Jade Crane. If he didn’t summon the speedier firecloud, they would catch up to him within half an incense worth of time.
Concurrently, the unpleasant looking Wei Suo fished out seven sealed Black Drillworm ruby globes.
After a brief hesitation, he stored back three and immediately incinerated the four other ruby globes with his Xiantian True Flames. He then hurled the four ruby globes behind.
Wei Suo initially wanted to release all 7 remaining ruby globes to hinder the pursuing cultivators. Instead, he felt reluctant due to their surprising effectiveness, and decided to keep three in the end.
Wei Suo continued fleeing with all his might after tossing out the ruby globes.
As expected, the group of cultivators instantly segregated into a chaotic mess, calling out various skill techniques and artifacts that spiralled into a bombarding mess.
Some of the cultivators’ flying light was extinguished and they fell from the sky.
Despite that, Wei Suo’s expression remained exceedingly ugly.
Three flying lights with velocities superior to his firecloud weren’t affected by the Black Drillworms at all. They were not even a km away from Wei Suo now.
“Mommy!” Wei Suo gritted his teeth helplessly and retrieved a talisman that glinted with a blood light. He then quickly channeled his true energy in.
The blood light instantly intensified throughout the talisman and first encapsulated Wei Suo with a blood red light screen. Following that, countless blood mists lingered around Wei Suo’s skin and seemed to be sucked into the blood light screen unceasingly.
Eventually, the blood light screen flashed with a fiery brilliance. Wei Suo then dispelled his firecloud but on the contrary, his flying speed amplified by several folds.
He transformed into a blood light that sped through the sky with a speed indiscernible by the naked eye, pulling the gap between the 3 pursuing flying lights behind further and further.
“Blood Flight Talisman!”
Of the three pursuing cultivators, one was a middle-aged violet robe cultivator, one a yellow robed elder and one a grey robed youth with a grave and stern countenance.
The violet robed middle-age cultivator was riding a wooden fishboat like flying artifact. His appearance was straight and dignified and emanated a thick fire spirit energy from his body. Evidently, he was an innate Fire Spirit Root cultivator.
The elder displayed skinny features but a pair of ominously glinting eyes. His brows were yellow and incredibly peculiar. He was using an unknown skill technique to fly, that were two yellow streaks beneath his feet that soared with shocking ferocity.
The last grey robed youth flew with a white flying sword. He was astoundingly a pract.i.tioner that grasped a sword controlling skill.
When the three cultivators observed their target dispelling the firecloud and transforming into a blood light, their expressions sank.
“What should we do?” While the grey robed youth called out ‘Blood Flight Talisman’, the violet robed cultivator asked the nearby yellow-brow elder with shock. “Old Ancestor Zhang, we definitely can’t chase up to his speed.”
“He is merely a Heavenly Circuit Stage cultivator and cannot sustain for long even if he employs a genuine Blood Flight technique.” His twin yellow brows straightened as the elder revealed a murderous intent. “If we can’t take care of him after causing such a tremendous commotion in Perching Phoenix City, the city will become a laughing stock once word gets out. Many cultivators will despise us as weaklings who can’t even guard the safety of a city. The spiritual stones profit of our houses will undoubtedly plunge. Therefore, we must arrest the culprit today. Clan Lord Liu, this matter concerns the fate of everyone, I implore Clan Lord Liu to offer a Heaven’s Path Pellet to me, so I can kill that cultivator.”
“We can only resort to this…” The violet-robe middle-aged cultivator reload an aching countenance but gritted his teeth and produced an archaic wooden container for the yellow-brow elder. He then added.
“This pellet is exceptionally precious, I hope Old Ancestor will take circ.u.mstances into account when allocating his possessions after settling him.”
“Naturally.” The yellow-brow elder nodded and opened the archaic grey wooden container. A mystifying golden pellet exuberated out a brilliance.
Without saying much, the yellow-brow elder swallowed the pellet under the aching gaze of the violet robed cultivator.
In a flash, the yellow-brow elder’s body fluctuated with golden brilliance as his entire speed increased by several folds. He similarly transformed into a golden light amidst the darkness of night.
“What’s going on? How did his speed suddenly accelerate so rapidly?”
Upon glancing back occasionally, Wei Suo naturally noticed a shocking golden light blasting in.
“Wrapped in golden brilliance, could it be a divine light flyer? Not right, he increased his true energy power with a Heaven’s Path Pellet! Wei Suo, speed up, if he chases up within an incense worth of time, you’ll be dead meat!” The green gowned Old Man first murmured suspiciously but quickly reacted, and shrieked in great dismay.
“Heaven’s Path Pellet? What kind of pellet medicine is that?”
“An Earth grade pellet medicine of the ancient Heavenly Law Alliance. It can swiftly boost one’s true energy strength for an incense worth of time! If you consume this pellet medicine with your current cultivation, even if your cultivation stagnates, your true energy strength will immediately ascend to the realm of a Thought Division Stage level 1 cultivator!” The Old Man quickly explained. “That person is clearly a Thought Division Stage cultivator, with that pellet medicine, his strength will at least be at the Thought Division Stage level 3. You absolutely aren’t his match! Quick, escape! Even if he still catches up after an incense worth of time, it’ll be better than facing him at his current state!”
“I don’t want to be caught either!” Wei Suo observed the blood light screen around him with a teary countenance.
At present, he had indeed activated the Blood Evading Talisman he acquired from the old freaks back in Sky Valley. Upon activation, his speed will equal a Blood Flight artifact but required a huge amount of blood energy to activate it everytime. It was equivalent to extracting a huge bowl of blood from his body. Due to him losing so much blood, Wei Suo’s complexion had turned pale.
