Chapter 433: Battle in the Flower Realm (2)
With Gui Li's agreement, Old Demon Tian Ming grinned wickedly, and with a swift step, he swept through the sky. An overwhelming Dou Qi surged out, and in an instant, he appeared before Fairy Qing. His pale hand, resembling an eagle's claw, directly tore through the void and lunged at her throat.
"Hmph!"
Fairy Qing let out a cold snort. Without any defense, she extended her right hand, revealing a treasured sword. She stabbed it towards Old Demon Tian Ming's head, seemingly willing to exchange a life for another.
"Keke, the life of the old me is more precious than yours..."
Old Demon Tian Ming's expression changed slightly as he smirked. Now that they held the absolute advantage, there was no need for them to risk their lives. He promptly retracted his claws, swiftly retreating to avoid Fairy Qing's sword attack.
As Fairy Qing's sword missed its target, she was about to chase after him when a black fog rushed towards her. A piercing scream echoed from within the mist, followed by a black chain breaking through the fog, causing the surrounding space to tremble, forming dark cracks.
"Get lost!"
Fairy Qing's expression turned icy as she shouted angrily. The swirling flower petals in the sky transformed into a tornado, attacking the dark space, forcefully driving back the black chain. At the same time, she dashed into the black fog, slashing her sword towards a certain direction.
Clang!
As the sword struck, a metallic clash resounded, and Fairy Qing's figure was forcefully thrown back from within the black fog.
Though all three of them were high-level Half Saints, Fairy Qing had recently broken through, and even in a one-on-one situation, victory was difficult to achieve. Now, even with the assistance of the large array, facing two high-level Half Saints simultaneously was too overwhelming.
"Together!"
Seeing Fairy Qing being pushed back, Old Demon Tian Ming smiled sinisterly. However, he didn't rush forward; capturing Fairy Qing required cooperation with Gui Li.
"Hmm."
Gui Li nodded calmly. Both of them shot out almost simultaneously, their overwhelming Dou Qi surging like raging dragons, sweeping towards Fairy Qing and covering the sky. Massive portions of space collapsed in the terrifying clash.
As Fairy Qing struggled against the combined assault of Gui Li and Old Demon Tian Ming, the intermediate-level Half Saint from the Hall of Souls also shifted his gaze towards the chaotic battlefield below. As he was about to make a move, Fairy Hua appeared before him, brandishing her sword.
"Hmph!"
Caught off guard by the sudden attack, the intermediate-level Half Saint's eyes narrowed. He flicked his sleeve, and a chain flew out, clashing forcefully with her sword, resulting in a muffled sound as both of them were pushed back.
Steadying his figure, the Hall of Souls' Half Saint locked his gaze on Fairy Hua.
"You want to stop me? So be it, I'll have some fun with you. Without you two, the Flower Sect is nothing more than a group of weaklings."
Fairy Hua's eyes narrowed slightly as she heard his words. Indeed, she noticed that the elders and disciples of the Flower Sect were retreating step by step under the siege of the Profound River Alliance's experts.
Many of the disciples who were defeated weren't killed but instead sealed and thrown aside. It was evident to everyone what the Profound River Alliance's experts intended to do. The female disciples of the Flower Sect were all beautiful and graceful, making them desirable either for sale or for personal enjoyment. The experts from the Profound River Alliance clearly had such intentions in mind.
As for whether anyone would buy them or not, slave trading was not a novelty on the Dou Qi continent.
"You shameless scum!" Fairy Hua rebuked angrily.
"Save your breath. Today, the Flower Sect will perish!" The Half Saint sneered coldly, and in a ghostly manner, he appeared right in front of her. A terrifying Dou Qi condensed into a peculiar black crystal layer on his palm, and then he struck his palm towards her.
Faced with the unexpected speed of the Hall of Souls' Half Saint, Fairy Hua was taken aback, and she forcefully swung her sword with all her might.
Clang!
A fierce battle erupted between the two.
...
While an intense battle unfolded within the Flower Realm, outside, a vast and continuous mountain range exuded an aura of tranquility.
Suddenly, faint cracks in space started to appear in the sky above. Within seconds, these cracks merged together, forming a black portal about a dozen meters high.
Stepping out of the portal was a man of outstanding temperament and appearance, dressed in elegant white attire. He surveyed the seemingly deserted mountains ahead and nodded slightly.
Rather than rashly barging in, he flicked his finger, and a letter appeared in his hand, only to disappear moments later.
After waiting for a while without receiving any response, Xiao Ming felt somewhat surprised.
"What's going on with the Flower Sect? In the simulation, it was said that I would be received with a grand welcome by the Sect Master. But in reality, they're not even willing to see me…"
"Something feels amiss. Could there be some unforeseen circumstances?"
As he pondered, Xiao Ming took a step forward. In front of him, the empty space emitted a strange ripple, and a massive spatial barrier appeared within his line of sight.
Without any apparent action from him, the spatial barrier fluctuated, and a crack opened up, allowing him to pass through effortlessly.
The Flower Sect's spatial barrier was entirely ineffective against Xiao Ming, who was a Dou Saint.
Upon entering the spatial barrier, a burst of colorful flowers and an exceptionally rich floral fragrance greeted him. Within this fragrance, an immensely powerful energy of heaven and earth permeated the air.
"Such a peculiar place..." Xiao Ming hovered in midair, his face showing a tinge of astonishment as he gazed at the hidden world beyond the spatial barrier.
Before him was an endless expanse of flower-covered mountains, each peak adorned with colorful blossoms. From a distance, it looked like a sea of flowers, swaying gently in the breeze. The vibrant petals danced in the sky, creating a scene akin to a fairyland.
"This flower sea must be a formation..." Xiao Ming observed the boundless expanse of the flower sea and detected a powerful energy hidden within it. Even the flower petals floating in the sky seemed to follow a specific mysterious trajectory.
Xiao Ming knew that this place was not the real location of the Flower Sect; rather, it was a boundary set up to prevent outsiders from entering.
Likewise, this formation had no effect on him.
Xiao Ming appeared at the end of the flower sea with a single step.
He found himself in the midst of a majestic mountain range, where clouds and mist intertwined and colorful flowers bloomed.
A broad and expansive towering peak rose from the ground in the center of the mountain range, surrounded by numerous buildings. A large square was cut open horizontally at the mountain's peak. The square was made of green stones surrounded by petal patterns that gave off an enticing fragrance.
Despite the enchanting scenery, the area was currently filled with darting figures, with the resounding sounds of battle and slaughter echoing through the air.
Gently raising his head, Xiao Ming could even see a pitch-black crack in the sky above.
"No wonder no one responded to me. It turns out that this place has been invaded..."
