Chapter 778: Chapter 777: All Poisoned to the Ground
When Yang Fei discovered that he was being spied on by Wang Changchun’s Divine Thought and attacked Wang Changchun, Wang Lei, Helian Rong, and Xu Jian also opened their eyes.
Seeing Yang Fei shooting forward like a cannonball into the dense forest, the three were startled and immediately followed.
By the time the three of them arrived at the scene, Yang Fei had already exchanged a move with Wang Changchun. Wang Changchun had made a breakthrough on the spot, grasping the Giant Sword Domain. His second strike furiously slashed towards Yang Fei.
Helian Rong was shocked, but too far to quench a nearby fire. Brightness burst forth from Xu Jian’s eyes as he locked onto the figure shrouded by leaves, unleashing the Power of the Divine Soul at it.
Wang Lei leaped forward, charging into the field at his fastest speed.
Above the sky, thunder rumbled, and the Thunderclap Saber Technique was unleashed, intending to encircle Wei to save Zhao to help Yang Fei block Wang Changchun.
Zhuge Cang had already developed a bit of fear towards Yang Fei, having clashed with him twice and even utilizing the powerful Five Elements Thousand Mechanism Formation, yet all attempts failed to subdue Yang Fei, and instead, Yang Fei rebounded on him. Thus, the sight of Yang Fei cast a certain shadow in his heart, and his first instinct was to flee.
However, Wang Changchun had a breakthrough, grasping the Giant Sword Domain, which gave him hope and he immediately stopped fleeing.
When he saw Wang Lei charging at Wang Changchun, trying to save Yang Fei, Zhuge Cang did not hesitate, raising his hand to grab and throw toward Wang Lei, shouting, "Scram!"
A strange force suddenly appeared in the void, wrapping around Wang Lei’s body. Following the wave of Zhuge Cang’s hand, Wang Lei’s body was eerily dragged to the side.
Wang Lei was greatly alarmed.
Although he had not stepped into the Divine Travel Realm, his cultivation was solidly at the Innate Realm. Such a situation like this was the first he had ever encountered.
Was Zhuge Cang’s cultivation truly so terrifying?
His gaze swept around, only to see a flickering light in the palm of Zhuge Cang’s waving hand, the residual from a just-exploded talisman not yet completely dissipated.
Rune Tao!
Wang Lei understood, and as his body flew to the side, he swung his blades, stirring up a flurry of saber aura in the void.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
A violent vibration spread out.
Using aura to break the strange force enveloping Wang Lei, the blade aura shattered it, and Wang Lei completely broke free.
Boom!
A loud noise, dust and stones flying everywhere.
Though much has been said, it was merely one or two seconds since everyone had made their move.
Wang Changchun’s giant sword collided for the second time with the Fusang wood in Yang Fei’s hands.
At the same time, a loud bang echoed in Wang Changchun’s Sea of Consciousness as the giant sword collided with the Fusang wood, a terrible rebound force hit him and his Sea of Consciousness was also attacked by Xu Jian’s Telekinesis, under the dual onslaught, Wang Changchun groaned and spat out a large mouthful of fresh blood.
Yang Fei, meanwhile, was sent flying.
His internal energy churned, his cheeks flushed red, and his entire body trembled violently.
His arms ached faintly, feeling like they were about to split at the base, but due to his strongly defensive Foundation Establishment Body, they did not actually split.
Even so, this strike from Wang Changchun was the most powerful and domineering one he had encountered in his life.
Boom!
Thunder roared in the void, and Wang Lei slashed his blade toward Zhuge Cang.
Having freed himself from Zhuge Cang’s Rune Tao control, by the time he saw Yang Fei had already been sent flying by Wang Changchun, and catching a glimpse of Wang Changchun spewing blood instead of attacking Wang Changchun further, he turned to attack Zhuge Cang.
This old man had actually ambushed a junior like himself, utterly shameless.
Meanwhile, speaking of Xu Jian.
Seeing Yang Fei in danger, he activated his Divine Thought to suddenly attack Wang Changchun, and after a successful strike, he himself felt a violent shaking of his Divine Soul, nearly fainting on the spot.
Indeed, as a veteran of the Hidden Sect in the Divine Travel Realm, Wang Changchun’s Divine Soul Power was extraordinarily powerful.
If it had been someone else, they might have been annihilated by his strike by now, or if not killed, turned into an idiot. Yet, Wang Changchun had endured the blow and even managed to send Yang Fei flying out—truly terrifying!
After the strike, Xu Jian no longer made a move.
The fact was, he had already expended much of his Divine Thought and sustained injuries while at the Duanmu aristocratic family. He had barely recovered in the past few days of travel, and now it had all been used up again.
Helian Rong also arrived at the scene. She looked after Yang Fei with concern. Seeing that he was not killed by a single sword strike from Wang Changchun, she breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, a fierce light flashed in her eyes as she waved her arms.
Standing nearby, Xu Jian glanced at her. As a master of poison, Xu had a vague feeling about something irregular but was not quite sure.
"Bang Bang Bang!!!"
A series of collision sounds ensued. Wang Lei and Zhuge Cang were fighting. Wang Lei’s Thunderclap Saber Technique was wide and forceful, each strike harnessing the Thunder Power from the void, immensely powerful. Though Zhuge Cang was a strong practitioner in the Divine Travel Realm, he was seriously injured and in poor condition. Under Wang Lei’s furious assault, he was being suppressed and forced to retreat repeatedly.
Meanwhile, Wang Changchun was also being increasingly injured.
After escaping from the Qingtian Sect with Zhuge Cang and shaking off Wang Chunyang’s pursuit, they had already been severely injured. Encountering Yang Fei and his group in such a condition, Wang Changchun had thought he could easily overpower these juniors but had not expected Yang Fei’s combat strength to be so formidable.
He had made a breakthrough on the spot, mastering the Giant Sword Domain, and thought he had the upper hand. However, Xu Jian’s Divine Soul assault on his Sea of Consciousness, combined with the monstrously strong force of Yang Fei, had caused him to sustain injuries again. His current state was the worst ever.
Hearing the sound of Zhuge Cang and Wang Lei fighting behind him, Wang Changchun could not lend a hand; his gaze was firmly locked on Yang Fei, trying to find some injury on him to feel a bit better.
Unfortunately for him, although Yang Fei looked disheveled, the Inner Qi within him had returned to calm, and his presence was overwhelming, seemingly unharmed at all.
Wang Changchun silently gathered True Yuan, ready to retreat.
This young man was indeed as peculiar and demonic as Zhuge Cang had said, frighteningly strong. They couldn’t linger since they were not far from the Qingtian Sect.
However, soon, Wang Changchun’s pupils constricted, and his expression drastically changed as he suddenly looked up at Helian Rong.
Simultaneously, after another exchange between Zhuge Cang and Wang Lei, both sensed something awry. They felt their bodies turning numb, and their True Qi seemed uncontrollable, unable to be mobilized.
"Demoness, you... you secretly used poison to scheme against us?" Zhuge Cang’s pupils narrowed, instantly locking onto Helian Rong.
The two great practitioners of the Divine Travel Realm turned their gaze toward her, causing Helian Rong to shiver; she hastily closed her eyes.
At the same time, she heard Yang Fei’s shout, "Be careful."
In the next instant, Yang Fei flashed in front of her, shielding her.
"Hum Hum!!!"
In the void, three forces of Divine Soul Power collided, making Yang Fei’s complexion instantly turn deathly pale, and he vomited a large mouthful of blood.
Zhuge Cang and Wang Changchun also suffered, both staggering and actually falling to the ground.
The severely injured duo had been entirely focused on their respective opponents. Silently ambushed by Helian Rong’s poison, they failed to detect it in time. By the time they realized, their internal True Yuan was already unable to gather.
Both decisively struck with their Divine Thoughts, trying to control Helian Rong, but hadn’t expected Yang Fei’s reaction to be so quick, blocking their assault.
Now, their bodies weakened, their internal True Qi unmanageable, and their Sea of Consciousness heavily damaged, their Divine Soul Power was vastly depleted. They were pushed to a desperate situation by several young people.
"Thud!"
Xu Jian, being the weakest in terms of Body Realm cultivation, first could not withstand the toxins released by Helian Rong in the void and fell to the ground headfirst.
Then came Wang Lei and Zhuge Cang.
Next, Wang Changchun also sat down cross-legged, trying to practice and force the poison out.
Finally, it was Yang Fei, who once again experienced the feeling of being ambushed and trapped by Helian Rong.
With no choice but to look helplessly at Helian Rong, he was quite speechless.
You even poison your allies, huh?
