Chapter 1037: Chapter 708: Black Mist (Part 2)
The ability of the Travel Dao race is quite mysterious, capable of escaping through earth, water, fire, and naturally, electricity as well.
But at this moment, a powerful magnetic force suddenly surged through the electric net, roaring loudly like the sound of a mountain collapsing, then an irresistible force abruptly rejected Ye Qiniang’s power!
"Damn it!"
Ye Qiniang was very surprised, clearly she didn’t anticipate this situation; the strange attractor unexpectedly affected her Travel Dao ability, pulling her in without resistance.
Swoosh!
A mystical white Spiritual Power swiftly swept out, like a ripple, connecting to that mysterious magnetic force, instantly twisting that sudden attraction away.
Ye Qiniang took this chance to stabilize her stance.
"Great ability."
Ye Qiniang turned her head and looked at Xiang Beifei with appreciation, knowing that she was right to bring Xiang Beifei along. Although Xiang Beifei’s cultivation was only at the late stage of immortality, often at critical moments, being able to withstand part of the force could significantly relieve her burden.
She knew she hadn’t misjudged Xiang Beifei, bringing him was a wise choice.
Others couldn’t help but glance at Xiang Beifei, pondering which race his abilities came from. However, no one truly cared about Xiang Beifei; though his abilities were somewhat unique, almost everyone here had their own secrets.
In terms of true strength, one was definitely stronger than Xiang Beifei.
The Diviner’s body was once again covered with layers of tortoise shell formations, suddenly saying: "Be careful of the black mist around, these mists are not right."
Whish! Whish!
As he spoke, the black mist all around gradually coalesced into several shadows, counting them up, there were actually seven!
Soon, everyone frowned, these seven silhouettes formed by the black mist bore a striking resemblance to the outlines of the seven of them without detailed features!
"They’ve become us?"
Xing Meng grumbled fiercely, staring at the figure before him, which was burly and muscular like him, appearing extremely strong.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The seven shadows simultaneously pounced at them!
"That depends on whether you can possess our power!"
Xing Meng arrogantly rubbed his fist, producing a sound of joints clashing, booming loudly, as a force of Spiritual Power hurled towards the shadow that had become him!
His power was heavy, blasting away the mist, while golden iron light gathered on his arms, unstoppable. Across him, the shadow seemed to mimic his attack in the air, extending a fist to clash with Xing Meng!
Bang!
A violent aura exploded!
The waves rolled out, such a terrifying clash was enough to tear a person at the early stage of immortality into pieces, yet the shadow formed by the mist wasn’t shattered by Xing Meng; on the contrary, when Xing Meng’s fist struck the shadow’s fist, the shadow’s fist merely dented.
His fist felt like it was hitting sand, with a vortex appearing at the collision point, spinning incredibly fast; at the vortex’s center, the magnetic force reemerged, even swallowing all the power Xing Meng had unleashed.
"What the hell!"
Xing Meng frowned.
On the other side, others encountered the same trouble, especially the Sword Dao genius Xifeng. His sword light this time didn’t shatter the shadow that became him, because the opponent mimicked his sword strike.
Only the opponent’s sword light, unlike Xifeng’s sharp blue sword gleam, was formed by the black mist instead, when the two sword lights intertwined, the mist’s sword light was a series of vortices, absorbing Xifeng’s Sword Qi!
Banji didn’t make a move; he merely stood beside the Diviner, like the Diviner, combat was obviously not his forte. Ye Qiniang blocked the shadowy figures for them, but facing three entities, she didn’t have the upper hand, as her power was also devoured.
Lan Keju exchanged a glance with Ye Qiniang; both being of the Travel Dao race, had already seen that these black mists were peculiar, because these mists couldn’t be a target for escape techniques anymore.
"We’ve heard of the strangeness of these mists; today after witnessing, indeed they live up to their reputation," said Ye Qiniang in a deep voice.
They weren’t the first to arrive at the Rushou ruins; over the years, many people have entered the ruins, with some hearing about these mists, yet most with relatively weak cultivation couldn’t even get past the black mist, let alone reach the center of the relic.
"Rumor has it that the deeper black mist consists of fine magnetic sands, capable of forming various defenses like a huge magnetic field, absorbing many attacks; one must come up with a way to deal with these magnetic sands," said the Diviner.
"Daoist Mu!" Ye Qiniang called to Xiang Beifei.
Xiang Beifei gazed at these mists, his eyes gleaming with insights, analyzing them meticulously.
The Diviner was right; these mists indeed comprised fine magnetic sand, tightly interlinked, forming an attractive force during friction, any power hurled at them would be wiped away.
Even the escape techniques of the Travel Dao race were ineffective.
He pondered slightly, "Learn by Analogy" quickly allowing him to deduce the attack method of these magnetic sands, soon he had an idea.
"Just don’t resist," Xiang Beifei said.
"Don’t resist? Are you joking?"
Lan Keju murmured, feeling Xiang Beifei’s suggestion was simply ridiculous, because from every angle, these magnetic sands were aggressive; if they didn’t resist, they might be torn apart in the next moment!
"Listen to him!"
At this moment, the Diviner also spoke in agreement.
"Are you sure?"
Ye Qiniang seemed hesitant too; in such a perilous place, if one didn’t resist, wasn’t it like standing still waiting to die?
The seven shadows in the air burst again with powerful roars, even lightning struck over!
Xiang Beifei didn’t bother to speak further, rushing towards the shadow that had become him.
At this moment, the shadow that transformed into Xiang Beifei emitted a terrifying murderous aura, fierce and tyrannical, crashing towards Xiang Beifei!
Such an intense collision, if not resisted, he might be killed directly!
But Xiang Beifei calmly charged at the shadow, when he was about to collide with it, he stopped, without deploying any force, facing the shadow directly!
Ye Qiniang and others frowned; she even contemplated pulling Xiang Beifei back, but hesitated momentarily, and others harbored their thoughts.
No one acted, all focused on Xiang Beifei.
If Xiang Beifei’s approach was correct, it would solve their problem.
But if Xiang Beifei got killed, they wouldn’t mind.
Originally half-way partners, no feelings involved; in such cases, comrades were for selling out and exploring the path.
Whish!
The overwhelming shadow fiercely collided with Xiang Beifei!
Everyone frowned.
But the imagined scene of Xiang Beifei being killed didn’t happen; the surging shadow collided with Xiang Beifei, dissipating directly.
Xiang Beifei stood unharmed in place!
"Really can withstand it? Why is that?" Ye Qiniang said in surprise.
"These magnetic sands are quite intense, strong under attack, able to reach everyone’s deployed force. When we attack, it’s tantamount to supplying them with power, making them troublesome—But ignoring them, their power source vanishes," Xiang Beifei explained.
"I see!" The Diviner realized, smiling slightly, "Daoist Mu has strong judgment abilities."
Others appeared equally surprised, glancing at Xiang Beifei several more times.
"This person’s strength may only be at the late stage of immortality, yet he seems quite extraordinary, perhaps bringing him along would aid my plans," thought Xifeng slightly.
But he wasn’t the only one with such thoughts.
Everyone considered their own schemes, covertly focusing their attention on Xiang Beifei.
