Bursting with energy!
A brilliant light enveloped Wang ng and the Little Fla. With a BOOM, the array exploded. Wang ng felt like he’d been thrown into a whirlpool and tossed around. He had never been in such a terrible Teleportation Array.
BOOM...
Wang ng felt himself being thrown out. He hastily channeled his Elental Power to control his body. The Broken Heaven Edge carried him as it shot into the sky, saving him from the danger of being splattered into a at patty.
Landing gently, Wang ng rubbed his face and surveyed his surroundings... ’What the hell is this place?’
Judging by the Elental Qi, this seed to be the Great Yuan Realm, but his Star Ring... still wasn’t reacting. Wang ng was frustrated. ’It seems the Star Alliance is all talk,’ he thought. ’They claim to be so amazing, but when I actually need them, they’re completely useless. At least give a location. Now I can’t even find my way back.’
The Little Fla cautiously touched a nearby tree. In the Fire God Little Thousand World, the Five Elents Fla was so rampant that it had never experienced other attributes. Seeing the Little Fla’s curious expression, Wang ng couldn’t help but chuckle. When the Little Fla’s hand touched the tree trunk, its round little face went blank for a mont before breaking into a wide grin.
"Master, it’s so..."
"’Fun,’ right? Don’t worry, there will be plenty more fun things in the future. But for now, we need to find a way back. It’s been a while since we left the Cultivation Academy."
Wang ng considered his situation. His current rank at the Cultivation Academy wasn’t high enough for him to be running around freely. Besides, he still had that agreent with the Old Demon Dean. ’All of this is just one big hassle,’ he thought.
Wang ng and the Little Fla flew into the air. As he gazed into the distance, his expression gradually grew serious. The surrounding area... was thick with killing intent.
SWISH...
A cold glint of light tore through the air. Wang ng’s reaction was extrely fast. The mont he sensed the killing intent, he knew sothing was wrong.
This kind of killing intent wasn’t developed overnight. It could only an one thing: he was in a very dangerous place.
Just as he landed, Wang ng heard a soft "Huh?" The other party probably hadn’t expected him to dodge the arrow.
Imdiately after, a blast of Sword Qi shot out. A figure darted out from the nearby woods. The man was clearly brazen. Otherwise, given the nature of a Bow Cultivator, there would be no need to fight a Sword Cultivator face-to-face—unless he was confident he had victory in the bag.
He was a middle-aged man holding a large bow. His Elental Power was abundant, and his eyes were sharp and full of spirit, but his attire was completely different from that of the people in the Star Alliance.
The middle-aged man was delighted to see Wang ng. "My luck is pretty good today. I actually ran into a little guy from the Cultivation Academy."
Wang ng stared at the man. ’The pressure he’s giving off is intense. His Elental Power is definitely above the Fortieth Layer.’ Beside him, the fla on the Little Fla’s head stood straight up; it too had sensed the heavy killing intent.
The middle-aged man’s gaze fell upon the Little Fla. He was stunned at first, then his eyes lit up with a glint of excitent. "Kid, where did you find this Essence of the Five Elents Fla? If you tell , I’ll spare your life!"
Wang ng lowered the Broken Heaven Edge, feigning hesitation. Finally, he gritted his teeth and said, "Senior, where is this place? I’m a mber of the Cultivation Academy, and I’m lost. If you can tell the way back, I’m willing to tell you the origin of the Little Fla."
The middle-aged man kept his hand on his bow, ready to kill Wang ng at any mont. Seeing that Wang ng had taken the bait, he smiled faintly. "This is the Slaughter Space of the Great Yuan Realm. Sects from all the Small Thousand Realms fight here. You don’t need to know any more than that. Unless you can find your own Sect’s station, you can’t get out."
"Senior, how do I find my Sect?" Wang ng asked, appearing sowhat timid.
The middle-aged man waved his hand impatiently. "The Saint Cultivator camp is to the north. This is Demon Cultivator territory. You’ve got bad luck, kid. Alright, now tell , where did you get this Essence of Fire?"
Wang ng smiled and patted the Little Fla’s head. The little creature clearly despised the Demon Cultivator before them.
"The Fire God Little Thousand World. They’re everywhere. There are at least a few thousand of them."
Wang ng wasn’t lying. There were indeed thousands of sentient Seas of Fire. Whether or not those people had the ability to communicate with them, or convince a Sea of Fire Consciousness to transform, was their own problem.
The middle-aged man’s expression changed drastically. "You little bastard, you dare to trick ? Die!"
From the very beginning, the middle-aged man had no intention of letting Wang ng go; he was just trying to squeeze so information out of him. And Wang ng had never been naive enough to trust him. Both sides were just using each other.
BOOM...
Using the Seven-Star Step, Wang ng dodged in an instant, and the middle-aged man’s arrow missed. Wang ng now had a better understanding of the situation. ’So this must be the place where the major Sects fight. I rember Elder Kuchan ca from here, and Elder Xu Huang probably ca here too. Here, Demon Cultivators, Evil Cultivators, and Saint Cultivators are all locked in a chaotic battle. This is the truly dangerous part of the Great Yuan Realm. Why did that Teleportation Array send here?’
Still, as long as he was in the Great Yuan Realm, he didn’t need to worry too much. Wang ng had been more afraid of being teleported to so godforsaken place a hundred and eight thousand li away. Now *that* would have been bleak.
SWISH SWISH SWISH SWISH...
After his first arrow missed, the Demon Cultivator’s body instantly flickered, leaving behind an afterimage as he fired off rows of arrows, pressing his attack relentlessly. Wang ng had fought Qi Feiyu before, but this was a completely different style. This man was clearly a practical combatant. Every move was aid to kill, with no flashy techniques and no holding back.
Wang ng also unleashed his Elental Power to its fullest. Faced with the pressure of an opponent with over forty Layers of Elental Power, not going all out was a death sentence.
Wu Shu was getting frustrated. He had already used dozens of moves, yet he couldn’t take down a re Twenty-Fifth Layer kid. The Star Rings on the hands of Cultivation Academy mbers fetched a high price on the black market. Moreover, a nascent Essence of Fire was even rarer—a priceless treasure. ’This foolish kid is parading it around in the open. He’s practically asking to be killed. Better for to take it than soone else.’
Wang ng began to fall back steadily; his opponent’s Elental Power was clearly much stronger. Wu Shu felt it too. Those like him, who entered the Slaughter Space directly from their respective Small Thousand Realms, detested these Cultivators nurtured by the Cultivation Academy. These guys might not have an advantage in Elental Power level, but their combat strength was several tis that of an ordinary disciple. Every Sect placed imnse importance on those who graduated from the Cultivation Academy. The standard procedure upon encountering one was to concentrate all forces to kill them imdiately.
’This kid in front of probably used the wrong Teleportation Array. Otherwise, he never would have co here.’
This was a gift from the heavens.
BOOM...
Wu Shu employed suppression, unleashing his full Elental Power to completely pin down Wang ng. He shot an arrow with a sinister grin. With such a huge disparity in power, the instantaneous burst of aura should have been enough to freeze the little guy’s movents.
But just then, his target vanished.
Wang ng, who had been steadily retreating and was on the verge of being killed, had suddenly disappeared, dodging Wu Shu’s hair’s-breadth attack. Then, a Double Arc Sword Qi erupted with a roar.
After all, Wu Shu was a battle-hardened Cultivator who frequently hovered between life and death. The biggest difference such a person had was their reaction speed. Wang ng’s feigned weakness earlier was all to create this very opportunity. If he were at the Cultivation Academy, this move would have been a near-certain hit. But Wu Shu actually sensed the danger. As ferocious as the Double Arc Sword Qi was, he managed to forcibly evade it. Still, it grazed him, tearing a gash in his arm.
Wu Shu shot backward, his eyes filled with a mix of shock and uncertainty as rage flared within him. "You little bastard! You dare to ambush your grandpa? I’ll make you wish you were dead!"
Wang ng abruptly pulled several red-glowing objects from his Qiankun Bag. "Eat my Celestial Fire Thunder!"
He hurled them at Wu Shu. By now, Wu Shu was quite wary. ’This little bastard is incredibly cunning,’ he thought. ’To possess a Five Elents Essence, he must be from a major Sect and definitely has defensive Magical Artifacts on him.’ The greatest weakness of a Bow Cultivator was their poor defense, so Wu Shu didn’t dare be careless. He instantly floated backward. The red-glowing objects hit the ground, and... Wang ng had vanished without a trace.
Wang ng dragged the Little Fla along as he sprinted for his life. ’Damn it all!’ he cursed internally. ’Comparisons are odious. The power of the Five Elents Body is indeed aweso, but the gap becos obvious when you’re truly facing over forty Layers of Elental Power, especially when your opponent is so experienced in battle.’
’What a waste of those Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stones.’ Wang ng had picked so up intending to exchange them for a bit of spending money. And now he’d just thrown a handful of them away. ’It hurts, but it’s better than losing my life.’
Wu Shu stared, dumbfounded, at the Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stones on the ground. ’Damn! This is a super-fat sheep!’ he thought. ’He can just casually toss out a handful of Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stones!’ Wu Shu’s anticipation for what was inside Wang ng’s Qiankun Bag surged. His figure flickered continuously as he scooped up all the Thousand Tempered Fire Spirit Stones from the ground and chased in the direction Wang ng had fled. He absolutely could not let him get away, and he definitely couldn’t let soone else get this prize. He’d want to die if that happened.
’If I can strip this kid of everything he has, not only will my own strength soar, but if I offer just a small portion to the Sect Leader, my status will definitely rise a level.’
Wu Shu’s heart burned with greed. He spread out his Heart Spirit. ’It won’t be so easy to run away.’
Wang ng could feel his enemy still locked onto him from behind, so he could only keep running. The Little Fla, on the other hand, was having a great ti, completely oblivious to the danger.
"My little ancestor, stop bouncing around!"
"Master, why don’t we just kill that big bad guy!"
Wang ng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "I want to more than you do, but we actually have to be able to kill him first."
Wang ng didn’t dare to let his guard down. Based on what happened, when the man said the north, he was likely telling the truth. At that ti, he must have been sure of his victory and had no reason to lie. As long as Wang ng could enter the Saint Cultivators’ territory, he should be able to find the Holy Hall’s station.
Wu Shu was also in pursuit. He originally thought he could catch the little bastard within half an hour, but after all this ti of stopping and starting, the kid was still running. This ant his Elental Power recovery was remarkably fast and his foundation was very solid. ’The more this is the case, the more I can’t let him get back,’ Wu Shu thought. ’A Sect that can train such a disciple is, nine tis out of ten, one of the top fifty. I must kill him.’
Wang ng was indeed quite frustrated. If he had already completed the third stage of his Five Elents Technique, he could have killed this Demon Cultivator instantly. But he was still a long way off.
For the mont, Wang ng couldn’t shake Wu Shu’s pursuit, but Wu Shu couldn’t catch up to him either. Wang ng always maintained a certain distance.
He would only rest when his opponent rested. It had to be said, his Elental Power and stamina were pushed to the breaking point each ti. If his opponent pushed just a little harder, Wang ng might have collapsed. But just when he was about to break, the man would stop, allowing Wang ng a chance to catch his breath.
Wang ng was also considering using the Fla Encyclopedia to kill the Demon Cultivator. However, a big move like that had to be a complete surprise. If the man dodged it, it would be like throwing a at bun at a dog—gone for good with no return. (To be continued.
