805 Misery

Black light spread across the sky. Several startled gazes looked towards theancient black symbol hovering in the sky. An astonishing undulation wasspreading from it.

“Darkness Ancestral Symbol?”

There was no lack of sharp eyed individuals in the area, hence, they quicklysensed the mysterious undulation. Immediately, cries spread like a ripple.

Yuan Cang frowned as he stared at the Darkness Ancestral Symbol drifting outfrom between Qingtan’s brows. The fluctuation it gave off was indeed verysimilar to the Darkness Ancestral Symbol. However… there seems to be somethingamiss…

The Darkness Ancestral Symbol was not this weak…

Yuan Cang’s eyes flickered. A moment later, his brows raised as if he hadthought of something. He muttered, “It’s actually a symbol created based on theDarkness Ancestral Symbol…”

Yuan Cang’s eyes were extremely sharp. With just a few little clues, he wasable to deduce that the ‘Darkness Ancestral Symbol’ in Qingtan’s hand was notthe real deal.

“The Darkness Ancestral Symbol is the greatest palace treasure of the Palaceof Darkness, and this ‘Ancestral Symbol’ is almost a perfect replica. It islikely that only some old monsters in the Palace of Darkness have the abilityto make it. Just who is this girl? To think that she has actually obtained suchan item?” Yuan Cang’s eyes flickered as he continuously guessed Qingtan’sidentity.

“Could she be someone from the Palace of Darkness?”

Yuan Cang knitted his brows. If that was true, things become rathertroublesome. The Palace of Darkness was not inferior to Yuan Gate. If he killedthis girl, it was likely that the Palace of Darkness would not let the matterrest. Moreover, the fact that she had obtained this replica ‘Darkness AncestralSymbol’ likely meant that her status within the Palace of Darkness was quiteextraordinary…

“Bang bang!”

While Yuan Cang’s expression was fluctuating, monstrous black luck suddenlyexploded from the ‘Darkness Ancestral Symbol’ that had flew out from betweenQingtan’s brows. The black light agglomerated in the air. In the end, it turnedinto a huge black figure that could not be seen clearly. A faint but extremelyferocious undulation spread from the figure.

The enormous black figure was formed. After which, it extended its huge blackhand and grabbed the large black sickle before countless pairs of eyes.

The black figure stood in the sky while wielding the black sickle. Itsappearance was just like a descending grim reaper. Wave after wave of extremelyfierce ripples filled the area.

“Li!”

A clear phoenix cry suddenly resonated across the sky. Suddenly, a paleexpression surfaced on Ying Huanhuan’s pretty face. However, she immediatelyclenched her teeth. The zither string moved as zither music resounded alongwith her icy cold voice.

“Heavenly Phoenix Zither, Divine Nirvana Tone!”

After Ying Huanhuan’s clear voice appeared, the bright red light cluster aboveher suddenly emitted a soft cry that reverberated across the sky. Subsequently,a monstrous crimson flame suddenly surged out from the light cluster. In thenext instant, the light cluster whizzed out. It was just like a fiery meteoriteas it streaked past in the sky, and was accompanied by a destructivefluctuation that intended to engulf the far off Yuan Cang.

Wave after wave of mysterious sound continued to spread from within themeteorite as it flew. Yuan Power seemed to completely rebel due to this soundwave.

“Sickle of Darkness, Soul Execution!”

A solemn expression also flashed across Qingtan’s eyes while Ying Huanhuanlaunched this powerful attack. Immediately, the seal formed by her handschanged and a soft cry emerged from her mouth.

Qingtan’s voice had barely faded when the large figure holding the blacksickle took a step forward. The black sickle in the figure’s hands hackeddownwards at Yuan Cang from a distance.

Bang!

The space before it strangely distorted as the sickle swung downwards. Aseveral hundred feet large black light directly penetrated through the void. Ina flash, it was accompanied by a dark and formidable aura as it angrily rushedtowards Yuan Cang.

Bang bang!

The attacks of the two women were unleashed almost simultaneously. Countlessindividuals lifted their heads and watched this scene. Intense shock waspresent in their eyes. They were clearly unable to imagine that Ying Huanhuanand Qingtan were actually able to unleash such frightening attacks despitetheir strength. Even an expert at the half foot into Profound Life stage couldonly dodge this attack.

“It is really unexpected… these two girls might be young, but their techniquesare already so powerful…” Wu Qun lifted his head towards the sky and sighed.

“However, their opponent this time is Yuan Cang. That fellow has even defeatedChen Gui. Who amongst the younger generation of the Eastern Xuan Region cansubdue him?”

Wu Qun looked to Su Ruo beside him when he spoke to this point. The latter didindeed appear as though she wanted to say something. Immediately, he shook hishead bitterly and said, “Are you going to tell me that your big brother LinDong can do it?”

Su Ruo’s face reddened. She muttered softly but did not speak out in the end.

“You should pray for that fellow to return quickly. Otherwise, this battlewill be an enormous blow to his reputation once it is over. Even if he has areasonable excuse for his absence… given the great hopes that the Dao Sectdisciples have placed onto him, his failure to appear will cause many to bedisappointed.”

Wu Qun thought about it as he stared at Su Ruo and said, “It is much easier torespect a defeated person than one who refuses to even show up.”

Su Ruo involuntarily clenched her hand tightly when she heard this. Afterwhich, she bit her lips and reaffirmed, “Big brother Lin Dong will definitelymake it.”

“Hopefully…”

Wu Qun spread his hands outwards. His eyes, however, were unblinkingly focusedon the sky. A split second later, his pupils shrunk a little. This was becausethose two extremely ferocious attacks had actually sealed off all of YuanCang’s retreat paths. In the end, both of them smashed downwards and exploded.

“Yuan God Codex, Yuan God Bell!”

An attack that could frighten any expert at the peak of the nine Yuan Nirvanastage finally crashed violently into Yuan Cang’s body before countless pairs ofeyes. However, Yuan Cang’s low and sinisterly cold voice was suddenly heard atthe moment of collision!

Bang!

An loud earthshaking sound suddenly resounded across the sky in a deafeningmanner. An unusually frightening Yuan Power storm formed in the sky.

Bang bang bang!

The sky seemed to distort at this moment. A mountain below the storm wasdirectly shattered. The surrounding land also crumbled, as many enormous cracksemerged. Several people retreated in panic as they were afraid to be caught inthe destruction.

The fluctuations continued for a couple of minutes before the many shockedonlooking gazes. Only then did it gradually disperse. When the raging YuanPower storm disappeared, everyone’s eyes emitted a ‘swoosh’ sound as theylooked towards the source of the storm in the sky.

Berserk light gradually scattered from the source of the storm. Soon after, anenormous ancient bell appeared under the many watching gazes.

“Yuan Cang actually blocked it… such terrifying strength!”

The Yuan Sect disciples below immediately erupted into an earthshaking cheerwhen they saw the ancient bell appear. On the other hand, the Dao Sectdisciples had were somewhat pale. All of them clearly knew that Ying Huanhuanand Qingtan could no longer unleash such frightening attacks again.

“Crack.”

Under the many watching gazes, a crack began to appear on the ancient bell. Itswiftly extended and split apart as Yuan Cang’s body once again appeared in thesky.

Every gaze was fixed onto Yuan Cang. After which, many pupils slightlytightened. This was because they had discovered that a bloody wound that washalf a foot long had appeared on Yuan Cang’s chest.

“Yuan Cang has been wounded…”

Several shocked voices sounded in the sky when everyone saw the bloody woundon Yuan Cang’s chest. These two girls were really strong. Their earlier attacksmight had been blocked by Yuan Cang at the critical moment, but it still causedthe latter to be injured.

The hearts of Ying Huanhuan and Qingtan sunk a little when they saw this. Theydid not expect that they were still unable to obtain their desired resultdespite having unleashed their strongest attacks. Yuan Cang’s strength wastruly frightening…

“Haha, it has been many years since I was injured…”

Yuan Cang glanced at the wound on his chest in an indifferent manner. Soonafter, he lifted his head. His eyes were a little malevolent as they stared atYing Huanhuan and Qingtan. “However, your performance shall now come to an end!”

A dark and sinister murderous aura spread from Yuan Cang’s body after hisvoice faded. He suddenly took a step forward. His body flashed and turned intoa light figure that headed straight for Ying Huanhuan.

Ying Huanhuan’s expression changed slightly when she saw Yuan Cang move. Herhand rose and fell on the zither as over a dozen sharp crimson sonic wavesimmediately whizzed towards the latter.

Bang bang bang!

Yuan Cang flicked all ten of his fingers in the face of Ying Huanhuan’sattacks. The force directly shattered all the sonic waves, and did not slow himdown at all. From the looks of it, he was already intending to finish her off.

“Stop!”

Qingtan was startled when she saw Yuan Cang attack Ying Huanhuan. Her lovelybody rushed forward. With a clench of her hand, the black sickle flew back intoit. The sickle danced as it penetrated through space and swung at Yuan Cang.

“Get lost!”

Yuan Cang’s expression was cold and indifferent. His hand swatted outwards asmajestic Yuan Power directly swept out like lightning and slammed ontoQingtan’s body.

Bang!

Qingtan’s body immediately flew backwards after being struck by this attack.Blood appeared at the corner of her mouth.

Yuan Cang had already arrived in front of Ying Huanhuan after sending Qingtanflying with a palm. His hand contained an aura of death as it was swung outruthlessly. When she saw this, Ying Huanhuan slammed her hands on the HeavenlyPhoenix Zither. The zither bounced upwards and acted like a shield as itblocked in front of her.

Yuan Cang laughed coldly upon seeing this. Without dropping in speed, his palmpowerfully slammed into the Heavenly Phoenix Zither.

Clang!

A clear metallic sound echoed as an uncontrollable violent wind unfurled.Redness surged onto Ying Huanhuan’s pretty face, and a mouthful of fresh bloodwas spat out. Her lovely figure shot downwards. Finally, she staggered andlanded miserably on the ground.

“Little senior sister!” The surrounding Dao Sect disciples’ expressionsdrastically changed when they saw this.

“Swoosh!”

In the sky, an evil glint flashed in Yuan Cang’s eyes when he saw that YingHuanhuan had avoided his killing blow. His body flashed and descended to givechase. Although he was a little afraid of Qingtan’s status, he clearly intendedto kill Ying Huanhuan.

“Protect little senior sister!”

The dozen Dao Sect disciples closest to Ying Huanhuan immediately cried outwhen they saw that Yuan Cang was actually planning to attack again. Veryquicckly, they appeared in front of Ying Huanhuan. Their expressions werefilled with fury as they watched the figure rapidly approach.

“Suicidal fools!”

A sinister smile appeared from the corners of Yuan Cang’s mouth when he sawthat these ordinary Dao Sect disciples actually dared to block him. With a waveof his hand, majestic Yuan Power swept out. Immediately, those dozen Dao Sectdisciples were sent flying backwards as they spit out blood, while their bonesemitted cracking sounds.

Ying Huanhuan’s eyes quickly turned red when she saw those Dao Sect disciplesspitting out blood and flying backwards.

“Huanhuan, pull back!”

Wang Yan, who had been fighting Lei Qian in the sky for a long time, suddenlycried out. This was because he saw that Yuan Cang had once again unleashed asharp palm wind.

However, Ying Huanhuan’s Yuan Power was already exhausted at this moment. Shewas unable to put up any defence as she watched Yuan Cang approach with aferocious expression on his face.

“Swoosh!”

Yuan Cang’s sharp palm wind rapidly magnified in Ying Huanhuan’s eyes.However, it was just about to land on her when Wang Yan’s bloody figuresuddenly rushed over. He slammed his palm onto Ying Huanhuan’s body and senther flying. Subsequently, he also hurriedly tried to withdraw.

“Since you want to save her, you should pay a price for your action.”

An evil grin surfaced on Yuan Cang’s face just as Wang Yan was just about toretreat. His hand reached out at lightning speed and caught hold of Wang Yan’sarm. Immediately, his eyes darkened. A force was emitted and Wang Yan’s armquickly started to twist as the sound of cracking bones appeared.

Bang!

Yuan Cang’s leg kicked out after breaking Wang Yan’s arm, and directly sentthe latter flying dozens of metres away, forming a long scar on the ground inthe process.

“Lei Qian, finish her off.” Yuan Cang spoke indifferently after sending WangYan flying with a kick.

“Yes.”

In the air, Lei Qian immediately gave a savage smile and nodded upon hearingthis. His body moved and appeared in front of the young lady, who was blanklygazing at Wang Yan from afar.

“Do you still have the time to pity others?”

Lei Qian looked at Ying Huanhuan, who was watching Wang Yan with teary redeyes. The corners of his mouth lifted as he curled two of his fingers. Anunusually cold and sinister force pierced towards Ying Huanhuan’s snow whitethroat at lightning speed.

“Let’s see who will be able to rescue you now!” Lei Qian licked his lips as hegazed at the young lady’s long snow white neck, while a perverted joy flashedin his eyes.

The expressions of all the surrounding Dao Sect disciples changed drasticallyat this moment, and their eyes turned blood red.

“Huanhuan!”

In the sky, Ying Xiaoxiao, who was being forced into a life and deathsituation by Ling Zhen, had a drastically altered expression when she saw thisscene. A somewhat mournful screech contained a heartache inducing distress asit rang out in the air.

“At such a time, you should first worry about yourself.”

Ling Zhen smiled indifferently before his body rushed upwards in a ghost likemanner. The foldable fan in his hand thrust out like a viper, penetrating YingXiaoxiao’s defence and landed on her shoulder. A force spat out, and a bloodyhole immediately appeared. Subsequently forcing Ying Xiaoxiao to withdraw in amiserable fashion.

However, Ying Xiaoxiao currently was not in the mood to pay any attention toher injuries. Despair was revealed in her eyes as she watched Lei Qian’s attackdescend upon the young lady who was staggering like a wilting flower. Tearsgathered in her eyes.

“Lin Dong!”

Ying Xiaoxiao suddenly raised her head and shouted to the sky. Her desperatevoice appeared as though she had tore her throat to shout with all herstrength. It was just like a bleeding lark, and caused the eyes of countlesspeople to be dyed red.

The Dao Sect disciples had already been forced to such a miserable state!

Ying Xiaoxiao’s shriek faded. She gazed at the still silent sky as tearsfinally flowed down her cheeks. She sat powerlessly collapsed into a sittingposition. What face would she have to return to the Dao Sect if anythinghappened to Ying Huanhuan…

Bang!

However, an extremely deafening sonic boom rumbled across the sky just as ahopeless grey glint was revealed in Ying Xiaoxiao’s eyes.

Along with countless other gazes in the area, Ying Xiaoxiao lifted her eyeswhen this sonic boom resounded. After which, all of them saw the suddenappearance of a green light figure shuttling through the sky at anindescribable speed. The figure seemed to be in with a brutal and cruel aura.

“Lin Dong!”

Ying Xiaoxiao gazed at the familiar green light figure. Her originallydespairing expression immediately began to flicker.

“Lei Qian, be careful!” Yuan Cang cried out in a deep voice. His expressionsunk when he saw this sudden scene.

Swoosh!

However, his voice had just sounded but the frighteningly fast green lightfigure had already charged over from afar like a meteorite. Before Lei Qiancould react, a dragon fist that was flickering with green light smashed ontohis chest with an extremely violent rage.

Bang!

A deep sound seemed to reverberate beside every person’s ear. Subsequently,they saw Lei Qian’s body shoot backwards with a ‘bang’. In the end, it smearedacross the ground for a couple hundred of feet and violently crashed into acliff. His entire body was embedded into it, while many large cracks began tospread.

“It’s big brother Lin Dong! He has returned!”

On a mountaintop, Su Ruo watched the green light figure that had charged intothe battlefield. Joy immediately surged into her eyes as she spoke in anexcited manner.

“That fellow… has really returned in time…”

Wu Qun was also a little shaken as he watched the green light figure that hadsent Lei Qian flying with a punch. Soon after, his expression changed slightly.This was because he could sense the monstrous brutal aura being emitted fromwithin Lin Dong’s body. That brutalness was even thicker than those demons inUnique Devil Region…

At this moment, he could tell that this murderous god of the Dao Sect… seemedto be raging…

Wu Qun swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He was clearly aware that there was anextremely vast gap between Lin Dong and Yuan Cang, but for some reason, hestill vaguely felt… the Yuan Gate would come to a tragic end this time…

The green light human figure who had charged into the battlefield, seemed topossess a kind of magic that caused the originally chaotic battleground toimmediately become much less so. All the disciples from both sides had theireyes glued to that figure.

The green light on that figure’s body slowly disappeared under those countlessgazes. Finally, it turned into a young figure. It was Lin Dong.

At this moment, Lin Dong’s face was filled with a heart chilling brutalness.He glanced at Yuan Cang from afar. Those wild beast like eyes caused even thelatter’s heart to feel a slight chill in his heart.

Lin Dong took a single look at Yuan Cang before turning his body around. Helooked at those red eyes of the young lady, which seemed to have now lost itsformer liveliness. A heartache immediately surged along with a brutal murderousintent.

Lin Dong trembled slightly as he extended his hand, and rubbed the younglady’s icy-cold cheek. An apologetic expression flashed across his eyes as hespoke in a hoarse voice, “Sorry, I am late…”

Lin Dong’s hand touched Ying Huanhuan’s ice-cold cheek. Only then did theyoung lady’s dull eyes focus. She simply watched the young man in front of her,whose eyes contained a brutal expression that was vaguely accompanied by atrace of tiredness from travelling at a crazy pace. Tears finally gushed outfrom those originally red eyes.

The young lady took two steps forward, before she finally pounced into LinDong’s embrace. The emotions that had been suppressed in her heart finallycompletely erupted at this moment. She appeared like a child as she cried in aloud heartbreaking manner. Her cries caused one’s heart to be filled withsorrow.

“We… so many seniors and juniors were killed… Wang Yan’s arm was also broken…big sis has also been injured…”

Lin Dong hugged Ying Huanhuan. His arm trembled as it stroked the young lady’slong hair. This was the first time he had seen the usually smiling andcontagiously lively young lady cry in such a manner since he had becomeacquainted with her…

She had not cried even when she stayed behind alone to block the Devil SealMass back then.

Lin Dong hugged the young lady. After which, he slowly lifted his head. Hegazed at the surrounding Dao Sect disciples who were covered in injuries. Atthis moment, their eyes were filled with fervour as they stared at him.Moreover, their eyes did not even contain a sliver of blame for his latearrival…

“Junior brother Lin Dong, we are useless. We actually had to rely on littlejunior sister…”

Pang Tong wiped away the blood from his face. He sat on the ground andbitterly laughed towards Lin Dong. Subsequently, his expression becamecomplicated as he paused. He continued, “Junior brother Lin Dong… you have beencreating miracles ever since you joined Dao Sect… although I know that thismight be making things difficult for you, but…”

Pang Tong suddenly stood up. After which, he knelt down towards Lin Dong withone knee. His face had a faint craziness and savageness as he stared at LinDong like a wounded beast grabbing onto its last hope. A low roar rang out.

“Please strengthen our Dao Sect!”

Thud thud thud!

The surrounding Dao Sect disciples crashed to the ground as they suddenlyknelt on one knee. All of their eyes were frighteningly savage.

Senior brother Lin Dong, strengthen our Dao Sect!”

The low and orderly voices of the Dao Sect disciples contained a rich hatredthat reverberated across the area, causing the expressions of many to changeslightly.

Lin Dong slowly hugged the young lady in his embrace. Soon after, he onceagain gently released her as her crying slowly halted. His hand reached out andvery gently wiped away the tears on her face. After which, he lifted his headand looked at the Dao Sect disciples. Frightening ferocious smiles were slowlyclimbing up bit by bit on their young faces.

“I will use all of their lives to honor our dead brothers.”

Lin Dong’s voice was not loud. However, it slowly spread about the area. Theentire place seemed to have fallen into silence at this moment.

Faintly, amidst a monstrous brutalness that filled the heavens, a sleepingasura was awakening in this bloody land.
