Chapter 286: Victor’s Fall!
Under the effects of the endless Spirit-Absorbing Law, Victor’s tall figure gradually shrunk and withered.
Very quickly, his body’s aura began to weaken.
His originally st.u.r.dy muscles and l.u.s.trous skin also began to shrink.
His eyes began to become empty, not a trace of emotion was present.
Apart from the changes on the surface of his body, the aura and voice of the spirit dragon in his body also became weaker.
His body was rapidly ‘dying’ at a speed visible to the naked eye…
“It’s over… Victor lost… he’s going to be absorbed by that strange black gas…”
“It’s over, it’s over. If Victor loses, we’ll definitely die. Run! Don’t be stupid, run!”
“Go back to the sect! Don’t look back! Hurry back to the sect as fast as you can! Tell the sect to go into seclusion and set up the sect protection formation!”
Apart from the Green Dragon Sect, the sect masters of the other three sects all shouted at the top of their lungs.
Seeing that Victor was about to become the Fire Sect Master’s spiritual nourishment…
Everyone’s eyes flashed with endless fear!
After saying these words loudly, they did what they said.
Without any hesitation, they directly turned around and flew towards their sect with their respective skills!
As they left…
The Green Dragon Sect disciples also had gloomy expressions, and their eyes flashed with trembling fear.
Victor’s defeat…
Completely destroyed the last bit of confidence in their hearts.
Facing the Fire Sect Master, the last bit of stubbornness in their hearts was eradicated…
‘What should we do?
‘Sneak away?
‘Or stay for the battle?
‘Stay here… to battle…
‘Just forget about it.’
Everyone thought of the word “battle” and smiled bitterly.
‘Am I worthy of saying the word “battle”?
‘Victor was already a core formation realm expert, yet he was still defeated.
‘I might not even be able to withstand one move from the Fire Sect Master.
‘Staying here would be equivalent to courting death.
‘Was it worth it to die for the Green Dragon Sect?
‘Was it worth it to sacrifice my life for the Green Dragon Sect?’
Once these thoughts surfaced, everyone fell into deep thought.
It could be seen that their deep thoughts implied hesitation. Everyone’s originally firm belief began to waver.
Just now, when they saw Victor pressed to the ground and beaten by the Fire Sect Master, they still had the hot blood to rush up and fight for him.
However, at this moment, that hot blood had cooled down.
They no longer had the spirit to sacrifice themselves for the sect.
They had no choice. When they saw Victor fighting just now, they felt that they could play a supporting role.
If they fought now, it would simply be sending themselves to their deaths.
These were two different things.
Everyone was willing to be the icing on the cake.
However, to die for the sect, everyone was hesitant…
Just as everyone in the Green Dragon Sect was fearful and nervous, a new voice suddenly sounded and shattered the silence.
“Eldest senior sister! Eldest senior sister is missing!”
“Senior Sister Lingxuan, she disappeared suddenly!”
A panicked voice came from the crowd.
As the voice rang out, everyone turned to look at the spot where Ye Lingxuan had been standing and realized.
Ye Lingxuan had indeed disappeared!
“Eh? What happened? Where did eldest senior sister go? When did she disappear?”
“What happened? Did eldest senior sister run away too?”
“No way! Eldest senior sister is the most loyal disciple of the sect. She would never run away!”
“If she didn’t run away, then where did eldest senior sister go?”
“That’s right, eldest senior sister must have run away…”
All kinds of guesses and discussions rose and fell in the crowd.
Moreover, as these doubts rose higher and higher…
The Green Dragon Sect disciples, whose confidence had already been shaken, suddenly felt even more eager to escape.
They could not be blamed for being disloyal.
If it were anyone else, if they knew that the most loyal eldest senior sister of the sect had escaped, no matter how firm their hearts were, they would definitely be shaken.
So, did Eldest Senior Sister Ye Lingxuan really escape?
Many people who wanted to escape subconsciously believed that she must have escaped.
However, those who were clear-headed knew that if Ye Lingxuan wanted to escape, she could have done so long ago. Why would she choose to escape now?
Rather, if Ye Lingxuan was timid, she could have stayed put. Why would she purposely risk her life to come and save them!
This was a basic conjecture.
It was also a reasonable conjecture.
However, these sect disciples thought of it but did not dare to say it out loud.
Because they had also admitted defeat.
They wanted to leave silently and secretly.
In fact, a few of the disciples had already left the crowd silently and went into the dense forest.
At this moment, it was already approaching sunset.
Once they went into the forest, it really would be hard to locate them for the time being…
Of course, it was not that no one was determined to stay.
It was just that very few disciples had the determination.
Subsequently, another thing happened, which made those who wanted to stay waver…
This thing was…
In the distance, Victor’s huge body, which was enveloped by the black tornado, began to crack inch by inch. Finally, a ma.s.s of seven-colored spiritual energy gushed out of his body.
Then, his body directly withered.
His skin began to crack inch by inch.
Finally, all of his skin decayed and degenerated, revealing ghastly white bones.
Numerous white bones flickered with traces of spiritual power. However, they were quickly devoured by the black tornado…
At the sight of this scene.
The last glimmer of hope in the eyes of the Green Dragon Sect disciples also disappeared.
At this moment, they all said the same thing in their hearts:
‘Victor is dead.
‘He couldn’t be any more dead.’
He was completely sucked dry by the Spirit-Absorbing Grand Magic of the Fire Sect Master, and it was impossible for him to survive anymore.
His soul was likely to be the seven-colored ray of light just now.
It had also been devoured by the Fire Sect Master.
He…
His body and soul had probably dispersed…
Everyone thought sadly as a cloud of haze shrouded their expressions…
Chi Chi Chi!
However…
Just as everyone was disheartened, the Fire Sect Master, who had absorbed all of Victor’s spiritual power, suddenly had a cloud of green smoke flickering on his fingertip.
As this cloud of green smoke ignited, the Fire Sect Master could feel the spiritual power in his body rapidly flowing away!
This made his face instantly turn ashen.
“What happened?
“Victor’s spiritual power… what’s happening!?”
He cried out in surprise and hurriedly withdrew the Spirit-Absorbing Law. At the same time, he urged the fire spiritual power to probe into his body…
