Chapter 391: Brutal killing
Translator: Sigma Editor: Sigma
As soon as Shi Yan shouted, changes started to suddenly appear in the two rivers that were interweaving and hanging in the sky.
The weaving point of the two rivers discharged beautiful, dazzling lights, as an extremely violent energy suddenly spread out from that point.
In the middle of those blazing lights, ancient corpses sank into the flashing lights and were pulled up and down by the river. The river seemed to contain some secret treasures, which were vaguely visible and were moving towards that weaving point for convergence.
“CRASH!”
Silver raindrops drizzled down, and the light rain quickly turned into a downpour. The silver shower net came down from the sky, collecting in a shallow lake in the center of the ancient city.
That small lake was originally dry. However, after that silver rain, it immediately became moist; and in a short time, the lake had accumulated a few centimeters of water.
The silver lake emitted drizzling silver lights, covering the entire sky.
When the silver raindrops touched those beasts that were near the lake, they all screamed miserably and turned into diluted blood within seconds.
However, human warriors who gathered there were unharmed when the splashing raindrops touched them.
The silver raindrops from the sky seemed to aim for the beasts, while they caused no damage to the human warriors.
This mutation made those warriors extremely overjoyed. The warriors who were still wandering around rushed into the lake quickly, and were shrouded by the silver halo.
Some beasts came close to the small lake, but could only stare at those warriors with eyes filled with hatred, not daring to jump into the lake or approach that silver halo. They seemed to know that those silver lights were only meant to harm them. Hence, they only stayed in the periphery area of the lake, fiercely looking at those human warriors.
All warriors were moving and gathering towards the center of the ancient city. After realizing the lake’s abnormality, they were all excited and rushed towards the lake.
Anyone could see that other areas of the ancient city were not safe. Only the lake area in the center of the city could prevent the beasts’ attack.
Countless stars were sparkling on Shi Yan’s body. He could also see the marvelousness on the other side and thus shouted, “Go over there!”
Ai Ya, Cai Yi, and other people looked excited as they could now see hope. They hurriedly rushed out of the stone castle. Ai Ya and Cao Yi, who were in the Sky Realm, suspended next to Shi Yan and shouted, “We must hurry. If too many beasts gather around us, we won’t be able to pass through them.”
“Ai Ya and Cai Yi, you go with Lao Li and Lao Lun. Elder Chi Xiao, bring Zuo Xu and Zuo Shi over there with your fastest speed. I will stay behind to support you guys.” Shi Yan shouted.
Chi Xiao didn’t say anything as he brought Zuo Xu and Zuo Shi with each hand and quickly flew over to Shi Yan’s side.
“Shi Yan, can you do that?” Zuo Shi worried. When Chi Xiao was carrying her, she tried to stretch her head out with a tense face. “Although you have a cultivation base of the Third Sky of Nirvana Realm, you cannot resist these beasts as there are too many of them. If you are careless, it will be dangerous for you.”
“Can you do it?” Ai Ya also asked the same thing. Her face, however, didn’t show much emotion. She simply asked because she was afraid that if Shi Yan couldn’t complete this work, it would put her in a difficult situation.
Ai Ya and Cai Yi actually didn’t want to bring Lao Li and Lao Lun. Carrying a person would hinder them when facing the beasts, and prevent them from casting out their strength, which would slow down their speed.
“Stop talking nonsense.” Shi Yan grunted. “Before we can leave the Dark Magnetic Noxious Mist, we will have to work together. The two brothers haven’t reached the Sky Realm, and thus cannot fly. If you leave them behind, I will have to abandon you. I have already had a look, and that lake is not big. If we arrive there too late, the lake will be filled with too many people. Thus, if we want to get into that lake, then we will have to kick others out of it. And if we do not have consensus now, we will have less help by that time.”
Lao Li and Lao Lun expressed appreciation.
After listening to Shi Yan, they reluctantly agreed and were no longer long-winded. They quickly grabbed the two brothers’ hands and leaped up.
“Go!”
Shi Yan suddenly moved the Gravitational Fields while roaring out loud. The three Gravitational Fields now looked like crazy meat blenders, reverberating with ear-piercing sounds.
The three Gravitational Fields immediately changed directions, moving towards the beasts which were wandering and approaching the group of Chi Xiao and Cai Yi, creating a road leading straight to the center of the ancient city.
Zuo Xu’s group didn’t dare to hesitate and immediately sped up, moving towards the center of the ancient city.
Shi Yan lagged behind. His eyes were cold while he revealed a sneer. He used his mind to control the Gravitational Fields, clearing the road for the people of Zuo Xu’s group.
Three Gravitational Fields floated around Zuo Xu’s group, preventing the beasts from coming closer. With these three Gravitational Fields, they didn’t have to be scared of the beasts which were now on their sides or behind them. They just rushed forward all the way.
Shi Yan was the last one, controlling the Gravitational Fields. He waited for the three people to leave and then once again triggered his mind, ordering the three Gravitational Fields to gather in one place, forming an enormous, gray tornado.
After the integration of the three Gravitational Fields, this gray tornado was indeed obscure, and almost comparable to the one-hundred-meters high castle.
More than ten sturdy beasts saw the people of Zuo Xu’s group fly away and then suddenly made their way to Shi Yan, staring at him.
Seeing the beasts coming toward him aggressively, he remained calm. He turned into a bunch of starlights, and instantly merged into the huge gray tornado, controlling it and moving towards the direction of Chi Xiao’s group.
As Shi Yan was in the Gravitational Field, the beasts didn’t dare to come close, but just stared from a distance.
This gray tornado monopolized the whole area behind Zuo Xu’s group. The beasts that wanted to pass through the tornado were forced to take a detour.
While they were detouring, Shi Yan displayed the Life and Death Seal. The seal’s power bombed out of his hands. It created huge roars and hit those beasts, making them wobble and stagger.
Having built the Gravitational Field, he naturally couldn’t suffer from its strangling force. But after having fallen into it, his mind was agitated. The Golden Silks were bound in a region under the influence of the Gravitational Field, and thus, stayed motionless in one spot.
The Golden Silks were extremely sharp. Even he didn’t dare to see if his body could withstand them or not.
At this time, when the situation was critical, he didn’t dare to try the powerful Golden Silk. In the Gravitational Field, he was stagnant and could only concentrate on controlling the Gravitational Field, slowly moving towards the center of the ancient city.
Chi Xiao and the others sprinted in the air. They instantly avoided the beasts as soon as they came close. In case they really couldn’t avoid the beasts, they would work together to push the beasts to the side.
They didn’t seek to kill many beasts. They just needed to save a little more time to reach the center of the ancient city.
What Ai Ya and Chi Xiao did was undoubtedly correct.
The beasts rushed over from the four surrounding mountains. Most of them were in the periphery area of the ancient city. On the contrary, there were much fewer beasts in the area near the center of the city.
In the center of the ancient city, the warriors who were hiding in the small, silver lake had beheaded some beasts, helping reduce their number.
Therefore, the closer they got to the center of the ancient city, the fewer beasts they had to face. Thus, it was naturally quite safe.
On the contrary, outside the city center, as more and more beasts hustled over, those warriors who hadn’t realized the situation, were quickly submerged under the beast wave and bitten into pieces.
The Gravitational Field flew around at a moderate speed. Along the way, Shi Yan continuously took actions, dragging ten warriors who had been killed recently into the Gravitational Field to absorb their auras. Thus, his harvest was not small at all.
He was willing to bear the task of guarding at the back because he precisely spotted the opportunity to take advantage of the chaotic situation to absorb the auras of the dead warriors.
With the Gravitational Field, he didn’t need to worry about being besieged by those beasts. Having this confidence, together with this coincident opportunity, he certainly would not let it go.
Dozens of dead warriors’ corpses were tied up at the same places with the Golden Silks in every corner of the Gravitational Field, and were firmly wrapped up by the Gravitational Field as well.
While the auras were running into his body, he took the Demon Crystals out and stored them inside the Blood Vein Ring. He calmly controlled the Gravitational Field while moving towards the center of the ancient city.
Suddenly, changes started to happen in the small, silver lake in the center of the ancient city again.
The small lake was only ten square meters, which was not large and only was able to accommodate few warriors.
The warriors who got into that lake were enjoying their peaceful time without being worried about the beasts’ attacks. Thus, they obviously didn’t want to leave.
However, warriors who rushed into the center of the city after having gone through many dangers also wanted to jump into the lake.
With that modest area, it was not enough for all the warriors. The newly arrived warriors could only occupy the position of others if they wanted to get into the lake, or else, they would be left outside.
At this time, hundreds of beasts were starting to gather in the center of the ancient city. Once all those beasts made it to the center, they would absolutely exterminate warriors who were left outside of the lake.
By that time, those warriors who stayed outside of the lake would be torn down to pieces and wouldn’t be able to escape.
Therefore, in order to occupy the positions in the lake, the warriors began to fight with each other for their own lives. Hence, those warriors recklessly rushed into the lake.
The strange thing was that warriors couldn’t fly above the lake, even if they were Sky Realm warriors. They couldn’t just hang around above the lake and enjoy that silver halo.
Everyone who wanted to get into the lake to avoid the flood of beasts’ attacks would inevitably have to fight.
This was the human warrior-led battle, and even more cruel than the one with the beasts. In the Gravitational Field, which was a few hundred meters away, Shi Yan saw an area where many secret treasures were rampaging. Brilliant lights splashed out everywhere; all kinds of ice and lightning were constantly bursting out.
Suddenly, two messages were transmitted out from the Blood Vein Ring, “Let us out.”
The messages came from the Ice Cold Flame and the Earth Flame. These two Heaven Flames were moving and swaying inside the Blood Vein Ring as they seemed to spot some potential benefits.
