Chapter 212: The Pitiful Hall of Creation
Seeing them escape the spell formation one after another, the black-and-white male descended into a violent rage.
He realized that he wouldn’t be able to trap them all, so he decided to only hold one or two of them back!
“Red Lotus Demonic Lightning!”
The male clapped his hands together and a crimson lotus bloomed on the path that Wang Xuanzhan and the others had to take. It appeared sinister yet beautiful.
Looking closely, it could be seen that this lotus was actually formed by small arcs of crimson lightning. It exuded a terrifying aura as it laid there.
Before them was the Red Lotus Demonic Lightning which was on the verge of exploding, and behind them was the pursuing black-and-white male. They only had a split second to make their decision.
Huang Shan used a forbidden spell, and his body became alike a golden flying sword. His speed became so quick that it was almost impossible to stop him.
Wang Xuanzhan and Qing Zhi decided to stop where they were. They cast long distance immortal spells in an attempt to prevent the male from chasing over.
Boom!
The Red Lotus Demonic Lightning exploded. Carrying with it the contrasting energies of evil and holiness, the lightning enveloped Huang Shan’s entire body. Instantly, the lightning blasted out over thousands of feet, and the chaotic energy that it carried wreaked absolute havoc, obliterating everything that it came into contact with…
After this explosion, Wang Xuanzhan immediately dashed toward the breach in the formation.
Seeing this, the black-and-white male threw an extremely condensed bolt of lightning toward Wang Xuanzhan. It whizzed toward him like a sharp sword, and it attempted to prevent his escape.
Unexpectedly though, Wang Xuanzhan paid no heed at all to this bolt of lightning. Instead, he focused all his power on sprinting toward the breach. The lightning pierced through his dragon scales and penetrated through his body, injuring his organs and causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. However, he didn’t slow down a single bit and instead relied on the momentum of the strike to charge out of the breach.
Meanwhile, Qing Zhi immediately used a defensive forbidden spell. His aura weakened rapidly and a golden defensive barrier appeared around his body. This barrier was as sturdy as a tortoise shell, and neither lightning nor wind could penetrate through it. Encased in this defensive barrier, Qing Zhi also dashed out of the breach.
Wang Xuanzhan and Qing Zhi practically broke out at the same time.
In the end, it was Huang Shan who was the last to recover from the male’s attacks. He had underestimated the power of the Red Lotus Demonic Lightning, and the explosion had dazed him and riddled his body with wounds. By the time he recovered, he had already fallen behind Wang Xuanzhan and Qing Zhi.
Without any hesitation, he immediately drew upon all his strength and lunged toward the crack.
“Aiyah!”
Seeing Wang Xuanzhan and Qing Zhi break out, Liu Qianhuan suddenly let out a soft cry. Then, like a delicate willow, she slowly collapsed. Just like that, her slender and shapely body laid down on the floor. Her breathing was shallow, and she appeared delicate and pitiful.
She pursed her lips and said pitiably, “I have no strength left…”
With no one holding the breach open, there was nothing left preventing the spell formation from self-regeneration.
After being held down for so long, the self-regeneration ability of the spell formation burst forth like a compressed spring. It healed the breach in an instant, and the representatives had no time to react.
“F*ck!”
Huang Shan’s angry roar sounded from within the spell formation, and this was the last that they heard from him.
Just like that, a golden streak of lightning crashed into the spell formation’s barrier and exploded with a loud rumble…
“Huang Shan!”
Hong Dou and Dong Yan both exclaimed in shock. Then, they started casting immortal spells and attacking the location where the breach had previously existed.
The roars of immortal spells crashing into the barrier were unceasing. As energy raged about, the web of wind and lightning merely trembled slightly. There was no sign that it was going to tear apart again any time soon.
The thick pool of lightning blocked their view, thus they were unable to see what was going on inside the spell formation. However, it was clear as day that the situation inside was very desperate!
“You! Hurry up and tear an opening from the outside!” Hong Dou roared at An Lin.
Right now, only An Lin could aid Huang Shan and give him a fighting chance at survival.
A look of ridicule flashed in An Lin’s eyes. Lying on the floor and panting heavily, he waved his hand feebly. “I’m spent, Big Brother Hong Dou.”
Looking toward An Lin and Liu Qianhuan who were both lying on the floor like dead fish, Hong Dou erupted in rage. “Y-you…” he stammered with a shaky voice. “You guys are clearly doing this on purpose!”
An Lin and Liu Qianhuan both ignored him. They secretly performed Expiration and recovered the vital energy in their bodies.
The representatives outside the spell formation couldn’t see what was happening inside. However, the tens-of-thousands of spectators on Blue Sky Plaza had an omniscient view, and they could all see Huang Shan’s miserable state.
Huang Shan’s anguished wails sounded without pause. He was a powerful lightning wielding cultivator, yet he was absolutely ravaged by the black-and-white male…
The black-and-white male was furious. He was only able to trap this one creature after letting so many other people escape from his grasp. Naturally, his anger was all vented off on this one creature that he had captured.
“Wind Sparrow Frost Slash!”
“Ahhh…!”
“Darkness-Obliterating Lightning Spear!”
“Ahhh…!”
“Nine Dragons Divine Lightning!”
“Ahhh…!”
…
The members of the Hall of Creation all turned pale. Watching the scenes unfolding on the crystal screen, the members of the three other forces could also hardly bear to watch on. Some of them even turned their heads around and averted their gaze, choosing instead to look at An Lin and the others who were lying on the floor like dead fish.
Soon after, a resounding voice boomed in the skies above the Zhong Long mountain ranges.
“Hall of Creation’s Huang Shan, eliminated!”
Hearing this voice, Hong Dou and Dong Yan stood rooted to the spot in despondency.
Even though they had anticipated this, they still received a massive shock when it truly eventuated.
Their strongest teammate had now been eliminated. What were they going to do for the rest of this battle for the holy grails?
They wouldn’t even be able to obtain iron holy grails, let alone the other more valuable holy grails…
“Benefactors, there’s no need to panic. This humble monk can help you guys obtain iron holy grails.” Just as Hong Dou and Dong Yan were feeling despair, Qing Zhi walked before them and sincerely offered his help.
Dong Yan grimaced as it looked toward Qing Zhi. It really wanted to yell at him.
Meanwhile, Hong Dou really wanted to beat up this monk. This entire series of events had given him a very farcical feeling. The monks had snatched their silver holy grail in exchange for iron holy grails and had even caused their head representative to mysteriously be eliminated. After all this, they still wore a look of benevolence as they offered to help them.
Phew… Keep calm… Remain steady and still like a boulder…
Hong Dou’s body shook in anger, and he kept reminding himself to stay calm…
In the end, the Hall of Creation and Buddhist Kingdom decided to continue with their cooperation.
Initially, Wang Xuanzhan had wanted to seize this opportunity to eliminate the members of the other two forces.
However, this thought was quickly rejected by himself. First of all, he was heavily wounded and could barely wield any of his power. Secondly, his two teammates were both exhausted of vital energy and were currently lying on the floor like dead fish. He shook his head begrudgingly.
“Let’s not waste time,” Wang Xuanzhan said. “We’ll rest for a while then head off to the next destination.”
An Lin and Liu Qianhuan nodded. They knew the general location of the remaining three holy grails. After recovering for a bit, they could directly head to one of these locations.
The representatives of the Buddhist Kingdom and Hall of Creation had already soared into the sky and flown off into the distance.
Wang Xuanzhan applied some spirit medicine to his wounds and roughly bandaged them up. He raised his head and said unhurriedly, “Let’s deal with the Ghost Axe Giant next…”
In the northwest region of the Zhong Long mountain ranges.
On a plateau which was dotted with white trees.
As if they were searching for something, the monks and creatures scoured around as they flew.
“This is where we came across the Blue Winged Bone Dragon before. This bone dragon is fierce and violent, and its regenerative ability is insanely strong. That time, Qing Xin, Qing Yan, and I decided to temporarily retreat as we were unable to outlast this dragon…” Qing Zhi calmly explained the situation to Hong Dou and Dong Yan.
In reality, he had no faith in defeating this dragon. After all, Huang Shan, the Hall of Creation’s strongest member, had already been eliminated. Their current formation of three Spirit Nurturing Final Stage cultivators and one of Half-Step Soul Formation Stage cultivator was not all that different from the formation last time.
Hopefully, we won’t have to flee in disarray from the dragon like last time…
Howl…!
The loud and resonant roar of a dragon traveled over from a nearby mountain.
“It’s the Blue Winged Bone Dragon!” The four of them were overjoyed and they immediately hurried over in the direction of the roar.
A short while later, the four of them arrived at where the dragon roar had come from. Then, they all fell into a daze.
What greeted them was the sight of three handsome and pretty people. They had majestic white wings spread behind their backs, and they were currently looking at them in surprise.
A male with a powerful aura was currently holding an iron holy grail in his hand, and he blinked when he saw the four of them.
“Congratulations! Garden of Eden has received one point!”
An announcement boomed in the skies.
Qing Zhi: “…”
Qing Xin: “…”
The two representatives of the Hall of Creation started crying.
What the f*ck!
You can’t bully us like this!
