"Buzz~~"
Accompanied by a vibrating buzz, an entire group of people was frozen mid-air like statues.
For so reason, at this mont, Li Chen recalled the Binding Spell from mythological stories he had read.
Didn’t his technique have a bit of that familiar flavor?
However, Li Chen was aware that if one were to make a comparison, his Cease Spear was quite different from any "Binding Spell."
Firstly, the mythological Binding Spell was only effective when used by higher levels against lower ones. Secondly, while Li Chen’s Cease Spear could immobilize soone stronger than himself, it couldn’t allow any reckless moves once the target was immobilized.
Cease Spear seed to create a ti loop around the target.
Within this loop, the trapped person could still move and attack.
However, whether they moved or attacked, it would be confined within this ti loop, aning everything would eventually return to its origin.
As a result, to an outside observer, it would seem as though they were completely motionless.
If one’s strength was imnse, they could indeed break free from the ti loop, but clearly, for this group, escaping the ti loop was a considerable challenge...
Without hesitation, after immobilizing the group, Li Chen pulled out a Spiritual Artifact level brick he had treasured for a long ti and knocked each one of them out.
Indeed, during his attack, the ti loop would break for a mont, but the people within would need ti to regain their bearings. They wouldn’t know what was going on, while Li Chen was ready to strike; the result was predictable.
Generously, Li Chen refrained from killing them, but the fortunes they had gathered over more than a year in the Nether River Space inevitably ended up in Li Chen’s hands.
"Wow, these guys actually have quite a few nice things." Checking the possessions of the unfortunate ones, Li Chen remarked as he walked toward another direction.
Bai Shi had inford him that energy fluctuations were coming from that direction.
"Have a taste." Li Chen took two Spirit Fruits from his ring, which he had "acquired" from the unlucky bunch, tossing one to Bai Shi while taking a bite of another.
These were Spirit Fruits of rather high rank, each one extrely valuable outside, but here, Li Chen casually took them out to munch on. It was clear he had stumbled upon quite the windfall.
"Tastes good." Li Chen chuckled, asking Bai Shi, "How is it?"
"Delicious!" Bai Shi nodded repeatedly with a smile, "I’ve been through several layers of spaces and never tasted such good fruit!"
"Don’t worry, there’ll be even tastier ones outside." Li Chen laughed heartily.
"Ahead, there’s a combat disturbance, quite significant, and there seems to be... soone of my level!" Bai Shi’s brow suddenly furrowed.
Li Chen didn’t need Bai Shi to say it, as he too felt the terrifying battle waves ahead.
Indeed, not far in front of them, continuous waves of terrifying energy could be felt.
"Conceal your breath, I’ll take you closer." Frowning slightly as he approached, Li Chen realized that besides the two terrifying presences, there were also faint signs of others.
Recalling the "trouble" ntioned by the Nether River, Li Chen felt a twinge of worry. Could Mo Wushang and the others be here too?
After Bai Shi suppressed his aura, Li Chen used Spatial Movent to bring Bai Shi closer to where the disturbances originated.
As expected, two terrifying Celestial Demon Beasts were indeed battling here.
Both of them were above the Fifth Rank, fighting with earth-shattering might. Even from a distance, Li Chen could feel the powerful montum.
Although Li Chen felt he could handle those in the Higher Heaven Realm, facing such Fifth Rank and above beings, he remained quite wary.
Moreover, Bai Shi ntioned that one of these two Celestial Demon Beasts might be of the sa level as him.
Could it be a Fifth Rank Heavenly King Level monster?
Though proud, Li Chen knew he was no match for such a being.
Cautiously avoiding the battling Celestial Demon Beasts, Li Chen used his Divine Sense to search for the faint presences detected earlier.
"In that direction."
His gaze glanced to the side as Li Chen, with Bai Shi, swiftly traversed a large swath of forest to a hidden cave entrance.
"Who’s there?!"
As Li Chen got closer, he heard a wary voice.
"Hmm, it’s you?" Gazing curiously at Yan Jing, who appeared before him, Li Chen couldn’t help but ask, "You’re still alive?"
"You’re the one who’s dead!" Yan Jing replied with a sullen face, annoyed.
They were searching for treasures, but also looking for Li Chen. Yet, upon eting, he’d say such a thing, of course, it irked Yan Jing.
"I didn’t an it that way." Awkwardly rubbing his nose, Li Chen asked, "Where are the others? Are they here?"
"They’re here; just that everyone... got a bit injured." ntioning this, Yan Jing’s face darkened.
They had been careless, attracting such a formidable entity. Had it not been for another Fifth Rank Celestial Demon Beast arriving for revenge, they might have all perished.
"Take to them." Seeing Yan Jing’s expression, Li Chen’s face changed, thinking of sothing urgent.
"Alright!"
Without hesitation, Yan Jing agreed, thinking if the rest were praising Li Chen, he must have so skills.
The cave bore a tinge of blood scent. Clearly, it belonged to its previous owner whom they killed. However, this scent wasn’t from the demon beasts but the few people in the cave.
Upon entering, Li Chen saw the pale faces of Mo Wushang and Jing Invincible, even Xuan Ming looked weak lying aside.
"Brother Li?!"
"Brother Li, you’ve returned?"
Seeing Li Chen, both their eyes lit with joy.
Realizing they were rely weak and not severely injured, Li Chen relaxed, then asked, "Where is You Xue?"
Upon hearing this, guilt washed over their faces: "Brother Li, sorry, we couldn’t protect Junior Sister You Xue; she’s gravely injured and has fallen unconscious."
"Where?" Li Chen asked grimly.
"In the cave’s deepest part."
Li Chen turned and quickly headed deeper into the cave.
Shortly after, he erged with a tense expression.
"Who did this?"
Even Yan Jing could hear the suppressed rage in Li Chen’s voice.
