Chapter 416: Ming Cult Disciples
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
When the players saw the elites from the six great system-allocated sects jump into the fire like swallows, they wanted to rush into the ravine and chase after them, but they soon noticed just how difficult it was to move inside.
Flames could be seen tumbling everywhere inside the ravine. There was also a thick, pungent smell that suffocated the people so much that they felt dizzy. It made it difficult to move about inside. If the player was the slightest bit careless, they would suck in poisonous gas and become unable to use their qi.
Some people instantly fell into the sea of fire once that happened.
There were also some people who did not see where they should land clearly. They made a wrong judgment and landed slightly off where they should be, which resulted in accidents .
When other players saw how the ones who had rushed in first fell into the flames, they instantly squashed the urge to go forward in their hearts. No one wanted to die in fire because of some baffling reason.
“d.a.m.n it.”
“Why isn’t the fire going out yet?”
The players outside the ravine were restless. The sea of fire was at least 656 feet long, and there were plenty of people inside it. The ravine was also surrounded by a black fog.
It was very easy for accidents to happen inside, so the injured disciples from the six great system-allocated sects did not even dare to move, which was enough for the players to know that it was a test from Light Summit.
Soon, more than three thousand disciples from the six great system-allocated sects left.
“What should we do now?” Momo asked with a frown.
Ancient Wind, too, looked undecided.
Most people could already tell that they could only pa.s.s through this fire if they wanted to reach the valley and witness the grandest battle at Light Summit—Zhang Wuji going up against the elites from the six great system-allocated sects.
But the fire locked most people out of the battlefield!
Happy’s thoughts were not on the fire. The higher one’s qi realm was, the greater their field of vision. As long as they activated their qi realm when they moved forward, pushed the black smoke away from themselves, moved along the wall of the mountain carefully, and chose their landing spots accurately, it was not a problem to get through the ravine. To people with supreme-grade lightness skills like Phantasm Body Movement Skill, there was no problem with getting through the ravine.
Happy’s goal, however, was Dream Clouds and Blood Robes, who were among the people from Mount Hua Sect.
Right then, there was no longer anyone from the six great system-allocated sects before the ravine, and he could not help but want to kill his two enemies inside the fire.
But those two seemed to have already noticed this as well. They stood in the crowd very calmly and watched hihs group. They did not show any intention to go inside first.
Happy leaned over and whispered into Momo and Ancient Wind’s ears, “Let’s forget this. We’ll go in.”
Under countless players’ gazes, the trio then dashed into the fire.
“Look!”
“It’s Happy, they went in.”
“d.a.m.n, how are they fine?”
Dream Clouds and Blood Robes’ expressions changed while they were in the crowd. They stared at the ravine after the trio entered it until they were swallowed by thick, tumbling smoke.
*****
Waves of heat came cras.h.i.+ng into their faces.
Boom!
Happy swallowed a Dew Pill, and the moment he increased his qi realm, he began madly releasing true qi through his pores. He formed a crude qi circulation system around him to block the black smoke from invading his body.
At the same time, he placed all his focus on his surroundings.
With a few lightness skills, he landed in the middle.
Momo’s lightness skills were above Happy’s, and she had an easy time inside. As for Ancient Wind, he seemed to be a little nervous after he entered, and he nearly made a few mistakes during several jumps. He staggered, and once he sucked in a breath of poison gas, he was nearly unable to preserve his breath. In the end though, he relied on a wheeled shuttle to drag himself out of the fire zone.
His first wheeled shuttle was gone just like that.
At that moment, the trio was just halfway through the ravine.
Happy quickly noticed that Ancient Wind was in a dangerous situation. He frowned and calmly brought out two Soaring Eagle Swords from his Universe Bag. After a thought, he flicked his wrist and threw out the knives!
Thud! Thud!
The Soaring Eagle Swords shot into the spots that were rather close to Ancient Wind.
Ancient Wind followed closely behind Happy. He relied on his abilities to listen to the wind to tell the location of certain items. He understood the meaning behind the sounds, and he felt as if two spots had appeared within the dark vision before him.
He understood the meaning behind Happy’s actions. His body became light, and he landed on one of the spots without hesitation. Then, he exerted force in his legs and jumped to the other spot in front of him.
Thud! Thud!
Even though they were compet.i.tors, Happy thought about helping as much as he could. Once he threw seven Soaring Eagle Swords outward, he saw the exit of the tunnel.
There were already more than three thousand people inside the big valley. The disciples from the six great system-allocated sects surrounded hundreds of Five Banner Division members, Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, the Five Wanderers, and other Ming Cult members. Their expressions were stern, and they were filled with great killing intent!
The six elites of the Ming Cult were injured, and under the protection from hundreds of Five Banner Division disciples, they sat on the ground with chaotic qi. It was clear that they lost during the battle just then.
The Ming Cult members had miserable looks on their faces, and they looked as if they had accepted death.
As for the elites from the six great system-allocated sects, they were filled with high spirits, and they looked very energetic!
If it were not for the appearance of Heavenly Eagle Cult’s master, White-browed Eagle King, the six elites from Ming Cult would have already become relics of history.
Happy, Momo, and Ancient Wind squeezed into Emei Sect’s lineup from behind the crowd. They did not attract anyone’s attention, except for Emei Sect disciples of course. The trio had already formed quite a good reputation along the way and gained a lot of favor.
Even Zhou Zhiruo, Ding Minjun, Bei Jinyi, and the others nodded at them and smiled.
The trio did not notice this detail, but instead looked around anxiously at the area up ahead to observe the situation. They wanted to make sure that the quest had not progressed too far.
White-browed Eagle King Yin Tianzheng was fighting against six of the seven heroes from Wudang Sect in the valley. He was merciless and won Song Yuanqiao and the other six heroes’ favor. The six heroes took the initiative to admit defeat.
However, Eagle King was injured all over. He was already heavily wounded.
Song Yuanqiao took the place of the six heroes and asked to fight against the injured Eagle King.
The trio’s expressions changed!
Zhang Wuji should appear right then…
When they thought about how they were about to meet the teenager who would use his Nine Yang Divine Skill, Heaven and Earth Great s.h.i.+ft, and his kind, merciful heart to win over the six great system-allocated sects’ favor in the Heavenly Sword and Dragon Saber, the trio could not help but look over with eagerness. They swiftly examined the people of the six great system-allocated sects.
Zhang Wuji would appear together with Xiao Zhao, so it was not difficult to find a beautiful girl and boy in the crowd.
When the trio noticed their target, they did not expect that someone from Ming Cult would s.n.a.t.c.h Zhang Wuji’s words from him.
“Great Swordsman Song!” Judging by the voice, the speaker was a woman. “Wudang Sect fighting against an injured old man via continuous battles will just hurt Wudang Sect’s reputation!”
Zhang Wuji was about to say something, but after hearing the woman’s words, he instantly brought a halt to his plan.
When the crowd looked over, they saw someone stand up from among Ming Cult’s members and walk out slowly.
Whoosh…
A fierce wind blew up the dust beneath the woman’s feet. Everyone first noticed her curvaceous and exquisite body before their eyes traveled up to her face.
Happy, Mono, and Ancient Wind felt their hearts tremble in shock.
Ancient Wind had a disbelieving look on his face before it turned into mockery.
“That woman should be a player. She’s quite bold to actually dare to pick a quarrel with Song Yuanqiao. Doesn’t she know the definition of death?”
Song Yuanqiao was the head of the seven heroes of Wudang Sect. He was the strongest after Zhang Sanfeng, and there was a high possibility that he would inherit the t.i.tle of the next teacher of the sect. Yet a Life and Death Realm player had come to steal Zhang Wuji’s spotlight? She had to be quite stupid.
However, when Happy saw the female player’s face once she walked out slowly from behind White-browed Eagle King, for the first time since the event’s start, a grave expression appeared on his face.
“That might not necessarily be the case!”
