Chapter 184: Chapter 178: Restricted Zone of Special Lifeforms
"Pfft!"
Wang Xu staggered and nearly fell. His face was as pale as paper, and he spat out a large mouthful of blood.
"Quick!"
"Quick!"
"Faster!"
A shimmering green light emerged within Wang Xu, covering his organs, quickly healing his internal injuries. Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead as he desperately shouted in his heart.
Behind him, thousands of special life forms roared and surged forward. His body technique speed was incredibly fast, yet only an invincible White Hole level special life form with black fleshy wings on its back could keep up with him.
The invincible White Hole level special life form’s true strength was faintly nearing the Mixed Universe Realm.
Even though Wang Xu possessed the Endless Sword and his body technique speed was swift enough, he still couldn’t evade its attack and suffered severe injuries.
If it were someone else, faced with such a heavy blow, their speed would have drastically decreased, becoming overwhelmed by the thousands of special life forms. But Wang Xu had Endless Life, allowing him to quickly recover and continue his escape.
The black fleshy-winged life form’s attack missed, and it immediately flapped its black wings, violently swooping in with its ferocious mouth wide open. It revealed sharp fangs as it traced a bloody trajectory straight towards Wang Xu.
"Endless Fire!"
Wang Xu suddenly turned around and spewed a blaze from his mouth.
The fire poured down, and as soon as the black fleshy-winged life form touched it, it was immediately ignited, engulfed, and buried by the raging flames.
The special life forms following closely behind were all set ablaze by the Endless Fire. The flames boiled and rose, lighting up the sky, reducing hundreds of special life forms to ashes alive.
Witnessing this scene, the special life forms quickly veered away, tracing a curve in the sky, continuing their pursuit of Wang Xu.
"The downside of Endless Fire is too great," Wang Xu sighed inwardly.
Endless Fire was powerful, able to ignite anything it touched until it was completely burnt out. But it was difficult for the Endless Fire to touch the enemy—only in the unexpected circumstances just now could it cause damage.
If the opponent becomes aware and uses body technique to dodge, the Endless Fire becomes utterly useless.
The black fleshy-winged life form let out a shrill scream, wrapped in flames like a fiery being itself. But soon, the flames subsided, and the black fleshy-winged life form shed its outer layer, revealing its true flesh and blood.
It roared furiously to the sky, its black eyes filled with violent fury, glaring fiercely at Wang Xu. Its blood-colored wings flapped, and its body rushed towards Wang Xu with speed.
"Quick! Quick! Quick!" Wang Xu dared not be careless, pouring all his energy to increase his speed even marginally.
However, the blood-colored fleshy-winged life form was just slightly faster than Wang Xu, but that slight advantage meant Wang Xu couldn’t avoid its attack.
"Pfft!"
The sharp claws of the blood-colored fleshy-winged life form pierced through the defensive Immortal Divine Soldiers, leaving five hideous cuts on Wang Xu’s body.
The pain from his back paralyzed Wang Xu momentarily, but he quickly recovered and continued to maintain his speed to escape.
The strength of the blood-colored fleshy-winged life form was too formidable, its realm already at the invincible White Hole level, its true strength not far from the Mixed Universe Realm. Despite Wang Xu’s Defensive Immortal Divine Soldiers and his strong physique resisting, he still sustained injuries.
The thousands of special life forms in the rear surged with light when Wang Xu’s body tensed, unleashing overwhelming attacks towards Wang Xu.
"Crack, crack, crack..."
"Pfft!"
Even Wang Xu’s strength couldn’t withstand such a frenzied assault. His Defensive Immortal Divine Soldiers shattered, his flesh bursting under the attack, exposing vigorous flesh and white bones underneath.
His feet also gave out after enduring multiple attacks and shattered directly, scattering blood and flesh downward.
"Go!" Wang Xu gritted his teeth and roared with a pale face, veins bulging on his forehead. The beads of sweat seeped into his eyes, stimulating his nerves.
Without his legs, it didn’t mean the Endless Sword disappeared. Below his severed limbs, there still remained a cyan bladeless Sword Shadow, carrying him frantically for his life.
Wang Xu’s body felt lighter, his speed slightly increased, but the blood-colored fleshy-winged life form spared him no respite. It caught up with a claw, adding five more hideous cuts to Wang Xu’s already exposed wounds, splattering fresh blood.
Wang Xu had Endless Life, but he dared not use it.
His energy was rapidly depleting, nearing exhaustion. If he used Endless Life to repair his body, he wouldn’t be able to maintain the Endless Sword, and he would be swallowed by the covetous army of special life forms from behind, with no glimmer of life left.
Bang~
Suddenly, as Wang Xu was in full flight, an invisible spiritual consciousness crashed down, suppressing Wang Xu’s awareness, causing his body to freeze, despair showing in his eyes.
"It’s over."
At this moment, a Cosmic Spirit appeared, shaking Wang Xu’s spiritual consciousness while he was completely unprepared. Even if Wang Xu had a chance to counterattack, he couldn’t escape the pursuing special life forms.
Wang Xu almost accepted his fate. In the last moments, he turned his head, wanting to see who ultimately killed him.
However, when Wang Xu turned his head, he displayed a look of astonishment.
"They... why haven’t they come over?"
In the distance, led by the blood-colored fleshy-winged life form, the special life forms stayed far off. Behind it, thousands of special life forms hesitated, gazing fiercely at Wang Xu, yet they dared not move a step forward.
"What are they afraid of?" Wang Xu could see that these special life forms were trembling slightly, a hint of fear in their eyes.
In front of them, it seemed there was an invisible red line. They dared not cross it, fearing even to touch it.
"Is it this spiritual consciousness?" Wang Xu wondered. Although an unknown spiritual consciousness continued to emanate from this place, its spiritual pressure should not have much effect on White Hole level entities... could it be there’s a presence here that they fear?
Without the threat of the special life forms, the shimmering green light promptly surged out, covering Wang Xu’s severed limbs and the wounds on his flesh. His injuries were healing rapidly.
A moment later, all of Wang Xu’s injuries were fully healed. The special life forms outside stared fiercely, but they were powerless.
"This place is temporarily safe. I need to recover my condition." Wang Xu sat cross-legged in the void, his spiritual consciousness bearing the impact while his body rapidly recovered.
......
"Sister, look! It’s the royal family; they’ve come to rescue us!"
Princess Bing Qing shouted excitedly. Beside her, Su Long was in critical condition, barely clinging to life. Princess Bing Xun’s face was pale, with blood stains at the corner of her mouth, as she forcibly maintained a light blue energy barrier, hastily escaping with the two of them.
Princess Bing Qing also wasn’t in good shape, her fiery red long dress tattered, a scorched smell wafting out.
However, compared to Bing Xun and Su Long, her injuries were much better.
Bing Xun and her companions had been fleeing for half an hour, and when the mixed spirit shield lost its effect, hundreds of special lifeforms came at them.
Princess Bing Qing took out a talisman, repeatedly fending off the attacks from these special lifeforms.
They didn’t possess the body technique like Wang Xu, so they could only use treasures to resist, but no matter how many treasures they had, they couldn’t withstand such consumption.
Su Long immediately erected an energy barrier, attempting to hold off the attacks.
But facing such a terrifying array, he only managed to resist for a moment before his body trembled violently, blood and flesh bursting as fresh blood forced its way out from his skin, his expression wan, breath weak, unable to sustain any longer.
With just one blow, Su Long was utterly defeated.
Had his strength not been sufficient, that single blow would have shattered him completely.
Princess Bing Xun had no choice but to support a light blue barrier. Her strength was inferior to Su Long, and the consequences she bore would be even worse.
But at the critical moment, the green pendant on her chest glowed, helping her fend off part of the attack.
"Pfft!" Despite this, Princess Bing Xun still spat blood, her delicate face as pale as paper.
"Princess Bing Qing!"
"Princess Bing Xun!"
From afar, the nobles of the royal family had already spotted them, but they also saw the hundreds of special lifeforms behind them!
Facing such a situation, some royals’ faces turned terrified, their bodies slowing down.
Against such a lineup, even if all of them present worked together, in the end, it would only result in death!
"Take out the treasures and protect the princesses at all costs!" Suddenly, someone shouted, a talisman flying out, once again helping Bing Qing and the others fend off an attack from the special lifeforms.
This startled the other royals into action.
Indeed, they weren’t here to fight, merely to rescue the two princesses. Taking out treasures for defense was enough.
Hundreds of royal nobles charged forward instantly, orderly releasing talismans, blocking the special lifeforms’ attacks for Bing Qing and the others.
Princess Bing Qing was saved.
Someone took out a "mixed spirit shield," leading everyone to retreat swiftly.
The army of special lifeforms pursued from behind, continuously attacking the mixed spirit shield, but to no avail.
......
"Bing Qing, Bing Xun!"
In front of the Bronze Giant Gate, the Sovereign immediately saw the Bing Qing sisters, and his heart was relieved of a huge burden, breathing a long sigh of relief.
"Hmm? Where’s Wang Xu?" The Sovereign noticed that Su Long, whom Bing Xun brought along, was still present, but Wang Xu, whom Bing Qing had brought, was nowhere to be seen.
As the group swiftly swept through the Bronze Giant Gate, the special lifeform army could only reluctantly stop their pursuit, helplessly watching the Bronze Giant Gate close once more.
These special lifeforms couldn’t leave Tai Long Peak. They were granted spirituality by the cosmic law of Tai Long Peak, with an oath embedded within that spirituality, turning to ashes immediately upon leaving Tai Long Peak.
"Father!"
Bing Qing whimpered, throwing herself fiercely into the Sovereign’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably.
The Sovereign gently stroked her head, softly comforting, "Bing Qing, it’s okay now. With Father here, no one will hurt you."
The Sovereign couldn’t bear to be harsh.
He had already warned Bing Qing not to enter the Bronze Giant Gate. She could only venture to Tai Long Peak once her strength matched Bing Xun’s.
But now, seeing the pitiful Bing Qing, the Sovereign sighed lightly, unable to muster any blame.
"Take good care and recuperate."
The Sovereign waved his hand, a rain of light falling on Bing Qing, Bing Xun, and Su Long, rapidly restoring their vitality, their wounds healing swiftly.
"Bing Qing, where is Wang Xu?" the Sovereign asked.
"Wang Xu... Wang Xu he..." Mentioning Wang Xu made Bing Qing cry even harder, heart-wrenching.
The Sovereign was startled, gently shook his head, and let out a heavy sigh.
It was a rare talent for Tai Long Cosmic Country to have someone capable of entering the Heaven-Reaching Pavilion, becoming a disciple. If he had grown, his achievements would surpass the Sovereign’s. Yet such a genius had fallen here... What a pity, what a pity.
"Bing Qing, let’s go back," the Sovereign said wistfully.
Losing a future superpower mean, uncertain when the second might appear, Tai Long Cosmic Country’s hard-won chance to rise, was lost just like that.
"No, I’m not leaving." Bing Qing wiped her tears, looking at the Sovereign with determined eyes, "Father, I believe Wang Xu isn’t dead. I will wait here until he returns!" (To be continued.
