The Desire to Be Eternal
Chapter 58: The Battle of the Cornered Beast!
Rain fell, thunder fell, and lightning danced in the sky. The world was a mixture of darkness and light, filled with booming rumbling and the sound of raindrops hitting the ground.
From a distance, everything looked like a rain fog, completely gloomy and desolate.
Bai Xiaochun trembled as he shot forward with all the speed he could muster. He flew together, feet hitting the ground, occasionally leaping into the air through some obstacles. He was like an arrow that slipped off the bowstring, whistling in the air.
"Must stay alive" he murmured. "You guys .. gotta stay alive!" That was what he kept repeating to himself as the images of Du Lingfei and Hou Yunfei continued to flash through his mind.
The shadow of death loomed, merging with the rain, making everything around him appear colder than usual.
At this point, around nine figures were speeding towards him from various directions. The one who was the furthest away from him was Chen Heng, but he was also the fastest. He was like a beam of light that pierced through the raindrops, moving faster and faster, causing rumbling sounds to reverberate out.
"You can't escape! No one can escape from our patriarchal spell formation! " Killing intent flickered in Chen Heng's eyes.
He had never imagined that the three disciples of the Outer Sect of the Spirit Stream Sect would manage to avoid him for days, and even, approach the border of the spell formation made by his Patriarch. As for the disciple who was currently approaching, he had a deep cultivation base, enough to not only take down Chen Yue, but many other members of the Luochen Clan.
He was now more certain than ever that this person was one of the famous Chosen Ones from the southern edge of the Spirit Stream Sect, either Shangguan Tianyou or Lu Tianlei. After all, when it came to the affairs of southern banks, northern banks would usually not interfere.
"Spirit Stream Sect Chosen …." Chen Heng thought, eyes gleaming with killing intent, and even sparks of amusement.
Rumbling rumbles filled the air as Bai Xiaochun darted along with gritted teeth. He was panting, and his internal spiritual energy was fading rapidly. Due to the rain, it was difficult to see anything, and he almost felt as if some ancient primordial beast had swallowed Heaven and Earth.
Suddenly, Bai Xiaochun looked up with red eyes, looking ferociously at a certain fluctuation in the rainwater several tens of meters ahead. The sound of an eruption rang out as countless rain then exploded and shot towards Bai Xiaochun.
Behind the rain sheet was the first member of the Luochen Clan to arrive to intercept Bai Xiaochun!
He was a middle-aged man, and the ugly scars flowing down his face made him look extremely ferocious. Moreover, he had a cultivation base in the great circle of the seventh level of Qi Condensation. He shot towards Bai Xiaochun, raising a giant battle axe in his right hand. As he approached, he gripped the axe trunk with both hands, lifted it high into the air, and swung it viciously towards Bai Xiaochun!
"You won't be one step ahead!" the man barked, his voice blaring like thunder.
Bai Xiaochun did not even hesitate for a moment. As the axe descended, it shot forward, shooting its left hand towards the axe itself!
The middle-aged man laughed coldly, pouring more cultivation base power into his hands, causing the axe to scream loudly in the air towards Bai Xiaochun.
In the instant Bai Xiaochun extended his left hand, a glimmer of black light could be seen as the Endless Iron Skin was released. Even when his left hand made contact with the axe head, it turned pitch-black.
An explosion rang out as Bai Xiaochun's left hand clamped the axe with such overwhelming force that the surrounding rainwater began to tremble, and then burst into mist.
Pain exploded within him, and blood flowed, but the strength of his Eternal Iron Skin kept his hands safe, despite being injured.
The middle-aged man frowned, then tried to pull his axe. However, Bai Xiaochun's grip was like an iron vice that kept the giant ax completely locked; no matter how the middle-aged man struggled, he could not move it in the slightest.
The man's face flickered, and then he looked up and realized that Bai Xiaochun's eyes were burning with the flames of madness!
It was insane that this fellow had only ever seen in the eyes of the various ferocious beasts in the Fallenstar Mountains.
The man's heart began to beat violently, and in the blink of an eye, the light of the defensive shield appeared around him. Without hesitation, he let go of the axe and fell back down.
He was fast, but .. Bai Xiaochun was faster!
Even as his left hand maintained its grip on the axe, his right hand flared with a black light, and simultaneously shot towards the middle-aged man.
His hand pierced through the man's defensive shield, causing cracking sounds to ring as one layer after another shattered. Bai Xiaochun cut them like knives as sharp as knives through bamboo. At the same time, due to the circumstances that Bai Xiaochun was in, his Throat Gripper suddenly did something that had never been done before.
Unexpectedly ...gravity strength appeared, causing the middle-aged man to stop. Even before he could react, his entire world was completely replaced by Bai Xiaochun's dark hand!
An explosion rang out as Bai Xiaochun's hand clamped the man's neck and then clenched loudly!
A wink of disbelief passed through the man's eyes, and then blood flowed out of his mouth. There was no time for him to shout when the bones in his neck were shattered. Then, his head slumped to the side. He's dead!
Unbelief could still be seen in his eyes. Although he was aware that the person they were chasing was strong, and had even prepared to fight, the punch he had taken out just a moment ago was not a deadly one. He was just trying to stop Bai Xiaochun and buy some time. How could he imagine that this skinny outer disciple of the Spirit Stream Sect would be so powerful?
By the time the man died, two more figures appeared from the distance. To his surprise, one of them had a cultivation base at the eighth level of Qi Condensation!
Looking at their dead comrades at Bai Xiaochun's hands, they let out a roar of anger. "Chen Zhong !!"
"You're forcing me to do this!" Bai Xiaochun growled. He threw the corpse to the side, then quickly changed direction and shot at high speed. He was trembling, panting, and yet, his eyes were gleaming with a light that was even more intense than before.
He knew that he could not stop for even a moment. After all, the essence of his plan was to have the members of the Luochen Clan follow him. As he changed direction, he could see a vast mountain range in the distance.
Since that particular mountain range was not a specific border region, it had no name. It was a mountain range separate from the Fallenstar Mountains, but its size was comparable, and even, perhaps even slightly larger. The rain there fell at a steep angle, and the entire area scattered with lightning.
In fact, when Bai Xiaochun looked up, the lightning seemed like a ball that then exploded into the rain.
Bai Xiaochun sped towards the mountains, two members of the Luochen Clan were hot on his way. At the same time, more cultivators approached.
There was even a beam of bright light that was none other than Chen Heng, who was getting closer at this moment.
As the cultivators of the Luochen Clan closed the distance to Bai Xiaochun, he got closer to the tree-covered mountains. He was now several dozen meters away, completely wet as he ran. At this moment, he was on the verge of making it into the forest itself.
"Stop him!" Chen Heng said grimly.
The cultivator closest to Bai Xiaochun was at the eighth level of Qi Condensation. He let out a roar, then grabbed and grabbed the seventh level clan member next to him. They exchanged glances, and immediately thought the same thing. The members of the seventh level clan curled up into a ball, and then the other clan members threw it forward as hard as they could.
Rumbling sounds filled the air as he called out all the strength of his cultivation base to push his friend through the air. The second planter shot through the rain at explosive speed, and in the blink of an eye, right above Bai Xiaochun.
As he approached, he released his cultivation base, causing rumbling sounds to reverberate out. Bai Xiaochun came to a halt, turned around, and performed a spell move. Waves of fingers sent his wooden sword flying out, yet the cultivator of the Luochen Clan actually allowed it to stab into him. Even when he died, a strange smile appeared on his face.
Suddenly, he exploded into a cloud of blood and blood which then turned into a blood rope that began to implicate Bai Xiaochun.
Bai Xiaochun's face fell down, and he turned to flee. However, at the moment of that interrupted retreat, a shouting voice emerged from behind him, which was an arrow!
The arrow had shot out was none other than a cultivator at the eighth level of Qi Condensation, who was currently holding a vibrating bow in his hand.
The other cultivator's sacrifice caused a critical moment where Bai Xiaochun was unable to dodge!
Bai Xiaochun's eyes flickered. Stopping in place, he suddenly shot straight towards the speeding arrow.
Explosions rang out as the arrow pierced Bai Xiaochun, causing a burst of pain that left him pale-faced.
The arrow pierced the bone in his shoulder, smashing it. The arrow itself was made of incredible materials, and was powered by the strength of the eighth level of Qi Condensation, making it extremely powerful. After breaking a bone, it actually sent the skinny Bai Xiaochun flying through the air past the blood rope!
POUNDING!
The arrow smashed into a nearby tree, simultaneously piercing Bai Xiaochun!
Excitement flashed in the eyes of the eighth level cultivator as he blinked moving, shooting forward and preparing to release a second arrow to slash at Bai Xiaochun!
The other cultivators of the Luochen Clan had brutal smiles on their faces as they approached. However, it was at this moment that Chen Heng's expression suddenly flickered.
"Revelation!!"
