Chapter 1314: Chapter 1310: Escaping Alive?
"You actually want to escape?"
Elder Dong Feng saw that Daichong, the Sect Leader of Tianmen, was actually taking Ye Tian away. With a cold snort, he spurred his horse to pursue them.
Even though Daichong’s Qinggong was exceptional, in the eyes of Elder Dong Feng, it was nothing noteworthy. He merely tapped his toes and, in an instant, was right behind Daichong. He only needed to reach out and grab to catch Daichong’s foot!
"Shrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr~~~~~~"
Just as Elder Dong Feng attempted to attack Daichong, a series of crisp sounds rang out. Elder Dong Feng slightly tilted his head, only to see several black Qi Forces shooting straight towards him.
These black Qi Forces were like deadly swords capable of fatal injuries. However, Elder Dong Feng paid them no mind. With a casual flick of his hand, he deflected the Qi Forces away.
Nevertheless, despite easily resolving the attack, Elder Dong Feng had already been distanced by Daichong. He wanted to continue pressing forward, but unexpectedly, more Qi Forces were coming at him!
"You dare to try this again! Tian Qi, are you not afraid of death?"
Elder Dong Feng said coldly. The person launching these black Qi Forces at him was none other than Tian Qi!
Tian Qi’s black Qi Forces weren’t something Elder Dong Feng truly feared, but he couldn’t completely ignore them. However, this need for defense slowed his pursuit of Ye Tian.
"Ignorant traitor!"
Elder Dong Feng cursed furiously and waved his hand.
This time, instead of deflecting Tian Qi’s black Qi Forces, he mirrored them back, directly reflecting them towards Tian Qi.
"Oh no!"
Tian Qi shouted, his black Qi Forces were exerted with full strength, and if hit, he’d be riddled with holes.
So Tian Qi could only leap with all his might, thus avoiding the attack of the black Qi Forces!
Seeing Elder Dong Feng was about to catch up with Ye Tian, Tian Qi immediately shouted, "Annihilation Squad warriors, listen up! Ye Tian’s life and death concern the fate of the entire South City and the Black Hole Clan. Therefore, he absolutely cannot die! Even if it costs us our lives, we must protect him!"
At this moment, Tian Qi had already become the rightful commander of the Annihilation Squad. So it was only natural for her to issue orders to the squad’s warriors.
The warriors of the Annihilation Squad, upon hearing Tian Qi’s order, all became excited!
"Don’t worry, Commander, even if we die, we will ensure Ye Tian escapes successfully!"
"Sacrificing our lives for the peace of South City and the Black Hole Clan is worth it! Totally worth it!"
"Yes! No matter what, we must hold back this damned Elder Dong Feng!"
...
With that said, all the warriors of the Annihilation Squad swarmed in, encircling Elder Dong Feng, preventing him from pursuing Ye Tian...
Of course, Tian Qi only ordered the warriors of the Annihilation Squad because she was only their commander, not having the authority to order the warriors of Tianmen and Night King Hall.
But regardless, the warriors of Tianmen and Night King Hall were not cowards fearing death. Everyone understood very well that the outcome of this war was closely tied to Ye Tian’s life!
No matter how great our losses, as long as Ye Tian remains alive, there is hope for turning the tables; conversely, if Ye Tian dies, even if he’s the only casualty, the war’s hope for victory will be lost entirely...
"What a joke! When it comes to sacrifice and dedication, we won’t lose to the Annihilation Squad’s warriors!"
"Exactly right! Our leader is the hope for all of us, our lives exist for him! So, no matter what, we will protect our leader, Zhou Quan, safely!"
"That’s precisely the truth! As long as Ye Tian can get out alive and make a comeback, we won’t lose this war!"
"Even if it means sacrificing my life, as long as someone avenges me in the future, I can rest in peace!"
...
The warriors, filled with fighting spirit, rushed forward meeting the assault.
All the warriors combined, they couldn’t match the formidable Elder Dong Feng.
However, the sheer number of these warriors, each employing reckless combat tactics, proved troublesome even for Elder Dong Feng.
Thus, Elder Dong Feng could not continue pursuing Ye Tian for the moment, only able to watch as Tian Qi and Daichong fled southeast towards the South City...
"Bastards!!"
Since pursuing was hopeless, Elder Dong Feng naturally vented all his pent-up rage on the martial artists who stood in his way.
Thus, the Power of Death within Elder Dong Feng’s body instantly burst forth!
At first, Elder Dong Feng paid no attention to the martial artists, so he didn’t even use the Power of Death. But once he did, the surrounding air suddenly became frozen!
"What is happening!?"
"This power... it’s beyond just being strong or not..."
"It’s as if it could devour everyone—it’s utterly terrifying!"
...
All the martial artists marveled at the immense power Elder Dong Feng possessed. Accompanied by such colossal force, the martial artists became paralyzed as if struck by lightning...
"What’s going on... what’s happened to my body?"
"Just the pressure of this power makes my body refuse to fight. What kind of formidable power is this?"
"Heavens! This is the first time in my life I’ve encountered such power. The gap between his strength and ours is unbelievably vast!"
...
The martial artists all wore expressions of disbelief, while Elder Dong Feng coldly smiled, saying, "Just this alone makes you tremble? In fact, this is merely a small part of the power I possess. If I were to use my full strength, I’m afraid this southern city would no longer exist!"
Elder Dong Feng’s words deeply shocked the hearts of all the martial artists.
If just a small portion of his power is this unbelievably strong, what would happen if Elder Dong Feng used his full strength? Could he not then destroy the heavens and earth?
Could this be the power of the ultimate master of the Black Hole Clan?
Noting the stunned expressions of all the martial artists, Elder Dong Feng continued, "However, this power is merely mine as the leading elder of the Black Hole Clan. If the Spirit Vein Stone’s power were fully unleashed, and I inherited the Divine Race’s bloodline and strength, then my power could increase a hundredfold, a thousandfold! At that time, no one in this world would be qualified to stand in my way!"
Elder Dong Feng’s words left everyone speechless.
Not only were their bodies immobilized, but their hearts were also severely shaken...
The martial artists originally believed that by relying on their own efforts and Ye Tian’s exceptional skills, they could defeat the four elders of the Black Hole Clan, thus liberating the southern city and the entire clan.
However, the overwhelming power of Elder Dong Feng cast a shadow over the hope of liberating the southern city and the Black Hole Clan...
Since all the martial artists were immobilized, Elder Dong Feng did not abandon them to pursue the fleeing Ye Tian, but stood proudly in place.
Observing the martial artists who attempted to stop him by sacrificing their lives, Elder Dong Feng merely smiled faintly and said, "Trying to stop me? Unfortunately, even if the weak bet their lives, they can’t achieve their goals, especially in the face of a peerless powerhouse like me!
Fortunately, although I could easily send you to hell, since you will become part of my power, I won’t kill you for now. You may as well take a temporary nap. When the Spirit Vein Stone of the southern city’s underground city activates, I’ll come to harvest you!"
As he spoke, the ground beneath the immobilized martial artists suddenly split open, akin to a beast opening its massive maw!
"What is this? Is this city going to devour us?"
"Even though I’m a member of the Annihilation Squad, I never knew the southern city had such a mechanism!"
"And this location is the old city district, why would there be such a mechanism?"
...
All the martial artists were utterly astonished, even members of the Annihilation Squad were shocked by the indescribable scene before them!
Yet Elder Dong Feng regarded all the martial artists as if they were mere grass, stating, "It’s only natural you don’t know the structure of the southern city. In fact, ever since the Black Hole Clan took control of the southern city, I’ve already transformed the entire city! Now, it is like my body. Soon, I will absorb this city! At that time, I will be a god! A god enough to dominate the world!"
Elder Dong Feng’s words were incomprehensible to the martial artists, who could only look at him in terror, unable to stop their bodies from being absorbed by the ground...
Once all the martial artists had been absorbed underground, Elder Dong Feng lightly leaped forward, setting off in the direction that Ye Tian, Tian Qi, and Daichong had fled.
Since the entire city was now empty, Elder Dong Feng moved extremely fast, sprinting toward the southeast of the southern city, and in an instant, reached the city’s outskirts.
Here, a special barrier of the Black Hole Clan was in place. Generally, not even the strongest martial artists could break it.
Not long ago, when Elder Dong Feng had just returned to the southern city, his familiarity with the city’s barrier, along with his formidable strength, allowed him to break the barrier without being noticed and secretly infiltrate the southern city.
"A hole has appeared in the barrier? What is going on? Why didn’t I detect it? How did those three escape?"
