Chapter 711 – Metal Devouring Wind

Chapter 711 – Metal Devouring Wind

This twist was beyond any of their expectations. The standoff was completely interrupted by the sudden change. Long Chen did not know what was happening, so he was a bit confused, but he saw panicked expressions on all their faces. Even the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage Du Jiu tossed Long Chen aside!

The only thing they could think of was to run!

Du Jiu ran the fastest, and everyone followed behind him. Shao Yu also knew that it was time to run. He obviously would not leave Long Chen behind, so he roared, “Brother, this is one of the five natural disasters! Run or you’ll die!”

Long Chen was no idiot. They were all running; he did not need Shao Yu to tell him. In fact, he ran much faster than all of them and got ahead of the group!

The dark-brown ground suddenly shook and endless, frightening sizzling could be heard. Gusts of golden air currents shot out of the ground like springs, and then tens of thousands of air currents as thick as an arm merged together!

These air currents terrified him. He did not dare get anywhere near Xiaolang’s Nine Devils Ancestral Fire, and he felt the same way about them. The air currents looked as if they were the sharpest knives. He was certain that he would be chopped to pieces if he touched them!

The golden air currents had only just appeared, but they were terrifying!

Five natural disasters? Despite the names, they probably aren’t that simple. Even Du Jiu looks terrified! Long Chen thought to himself, privately putting his guard up.

The air currents merged together mid-air, and a huge, golden male lion materialized. It let out an earth-shattering roar, then charged at Long Chen and the others!

The ground shook every time its paws landed on the ground. Their faces turned pale when they sensed that it was chasing after them!

The golden lion turned into a golden gust of wind as it ran. The mountains of metal were cut to crumbs where it passed!

It ran faster than them too. Long Chen finally understood why they were so afraid. They would be chopped to pieces with just a gentle touch. How could they not be afraid? This natural disaster could easily kill them!

Long Chen sensed just how serious the situation was.

He slowed down and grabbed Shao Yu, who was at the back of the group. Not caring if he was willing or not, he put him in the Primordial Realm, then covered his eyes with Primordial Qi so that he could not see anything.

After that, he felt more assured. However, the golden lion was frighteningly fast and pounced in front of Long Chen in just the blink of an eye. If he had not saved Shao Yu, Shao Yu would have been dead!

Blood Warp!

Facing critical danger, he used Blood Warp for a short moment. He did not dare use up all his essence for this technique, as he could easily die from any threat without essence. And threats were everywhere in the Ancient Graveyard!

He traveled five hundred meters in an instant, which used up one-tenth of his essence. The golden lion, which was behind Long Chen, was now a few hundred meters away. Long Chen also deviated from his original direction, so the lion did not run toward him. Instead, the lion turned into a golden gust of wind and pounced in front of Du Jiu and the others!

“Ahh!”

Cries of agony came from them. Long Chen watched in terror. The slower ones were directly swallowed by the golden wind; they turned into a powder of blood and flesh, which scattered in the wind. One by one, Du Jiu’s muscular subordinates were killed by the golden wind.

Long Chen was out of danger now, so he took Shao Yu out. To Shao Yu, everything had happened in less than two breaths. Before he knew what happened and where he went, he was taken out of the Primordial Realm!

“Long Chen, I ...” Before he finished, he spotted his teammates being turned into blood powder by the golden wind! It was a gory scene. All they could do was scream in despair, then die.

Shao Yu was pale with fear. He knew that without Long Chen, he would have also been turned into powder. Once again, he felt endless gratitude for Long Chen. At this point, even if Long Chen commanded him to enter a sea of fire, he would not even frown before obeying him!

One by one, they were killed by the golden lion. Shao Yu was not sad, but rather he felt like his anger had been vented. Everyone there had bullied him before, and he had suppressed his feelings in order to live. Today, they finally received their retribution!

The five natural disasters were notorious in the Ancient Graveyard, enough to instill fear the moment people heard their names. Countless people died from these natural disasters. That was why everyone panicked when they saw the golden air currents!

Long Chen and Shao Yu watched coldly as the ten-plus cultivators were all swallowed until one remained—Du Jiu. Du Jiu was at the Sixth Earthly Martial Stage, so he was several times faster than the others. That was why he could escape in time and the golden wind could not catch up!

The threat of death usually triggered endless potential within people, and it was the same for Du Jiu. Although the golden wind was close to him during the chase, there was still some distance between them. Du Jiu did his best to activate his essence and run so that he could stay alive!

Everyone only had one chance to live. He did not want to die due to a natural disaster. Not when Long Chen and Shao Yu seemed to have successfully escaped!

Ten-plus brothers were all dead. He was the only one left, and he was in great pain. This was a natural disaster, so he could not blame anyone, but his heart was still filled with rage!

And he could only vent this rage on Long Chen and Shao Yu.

Long Chen was watching the golden air current solemnly with reverence in his eyes. He knew that if it touched him, he would die. There was too much of it, so he would not be able to dodge. He asked, “Brother Yu, what was that? What are the five natural disasters?”

Shao Yu still looked terrified. He muttered, “Five ... Five natural disasters. They’re the five disasters that often kill many people in the Ancient Graveyard. They are natural, not man-made. That golden current is unique to the Metal District, and it’s called the Metal Devouring Wind!”

Metal Devouring Wind?

Long Chen had not expected something like that in the Ancient Graveyard. The Metal Devouring Wind had appeared suddenly without any patterns and even gave chase, making it terrifying. If a person were unlucky enough to be nearby when it appeared, they would be chopped into countless pieces!

The Metal Devouring Wind was a gust of wind formed from countless minute golden blades aggregated together!

“Oh no! Long Chen, Boss Du Jiu is getting away!” cried Shao Yu in panic. He could see the venomous look on Du Jiu’s face. So many of his brothers had died, so he was likely blinded by emotion. If he returned to take revenge, they would be finished.

But Long Chen was unaffected by Shao Yu’s words. He watched the golden lion chase Du Jiu. After it chased Du Jiu for a while but was unable to catch him, the golden lion let out a weak, sorrowful cry and turned back into thousands of airstreams that dove into the dark-brown ground.

“It stopped...” There was a resigned look in Shao Yu’s eyes. Looking at Du Jiu, who was in a violent rage, he knew that he had to leave it all up to fate now.

As expected, Du Jiu stopped and breathed heavily. When his strength returned, he suddenly looked in Long Chen’s direction with hatred and venom. Shao Yu was so startled that he took several steps back.

“Long Chen, we need to run!” Shao Yu knew that there was no room for negotiation. Du Jiu was clearly set on killing them both. The only hope was that Long Chen was faster than him.

But when he turned around, to his exasperation, Long Chen pulled him back. Long Chen’s arm looked like a baby’s arm compared to his own, but he could still grab Shao Yu’s arm firmly.

“Long Chen, you ...” Shao Yu looked at him, puzzled. They had lost their chance. He had not expected Long Chen to choose suicide. Or did he really think he could defeat Du Jiu?

Despite Du Jiu looking like he was in his thirties, he was almost fifty. In contrast to his fearsome sneer, Long Chen looked like an innocent doll. He did not look like he was a match for Du Jiu at all.
