Chapter 745: Strongest Five Elders
Proofreader: Papatonks
Whoosh~
Two dozen more Ethereal Stage experts showed up on the six’s side. They were now thirty Ethereal Stage experts!
Eight were in the 6th layer, ten in the 5th, and the rest were in the 4th and 3rd layer. While on Luo Yunhai’s side, only Li Jingtian and the sages were in the 6th, with the power couple in the 5th.
The Luo clan was at a clear disadvantage. Mystical Heaven Sect’s thirty Ethereal Stage experts had them surrounded with a look of scorn.
“Where’s the fire? Ha-ha-ha, you ran all the way over here, just to save some Radiant Stage and Profound Heaven cultivators? Now you’re in an even worse state, with them as your shackles that seal your fate.”
An elder with a large mustache laughed.
The five did not care. Li Jingtian turned to Luo Yunhai, “Clan Head, take Flying Tiger Army away. We’ll stop them from coming after you.”
“Five stopping thirty?” Yue’er cried, “No way! They have experts stronger than you!”
Qiu Yanhai mocked, “La.s.s, don’t lump us with your rowdy Demon Scheming Sect elders. Our words to Clan Head are just like in the military. We do what we say. We won’t let one of them slip past us, or my head is on the line.”
Yue’er looked at him hard.
[Are the Luo clan’s rules that strict?]
Five holding back thirty was pus.h.i.+ng it beyond their limits. It was simply one to six.
[And now they add another harsher condition, to not let anyone slip by?]
Luo Yunhai nodded heavily, “Then I’ll leave it to Venerables. We’ll go join the Demon Scheming Sect at the treasury!”
Luo Yunhai pulled Yue’er’s soft hand and flew away. “Flying Tiger Army, with me!”
“Yes, sir!”
The soldiers shouted and converged, following Luo Yunhai outside of Ethereal Stage experts’ range.
Yue’er was frantic, watching the five in worry, “Y-you truly believe they can fight one on six?”
“Ha-ha-ha, don’t worry. They are the strongest force brother Zhuo left for the Luo clan, they’re Luo clan guardians, keeping their word. If they said it’s alright, then it’s all in their hands.”
Luo Yunhai kept pulling Yue’er’s hand as he flew away.
Li Jingtian chuckled, then his eyes turned savage, “With Clan Head safe, we can let loose!”
“Humph, show off. So you’re telling me you couldn’t go all out before?” One Ethereal Stage expert mocked, “Did you forget who gave you that fresh wound?”
Qiu Yanhai sneered, “We got hurt on purpose. How else were we supposed to save Clan Head? That was your only shot at harming us.”
“Indeed.”
An elder with white hair stepped out, his dreadful aura made him the strongest. “You five do stand out of the crowd, stronger than the common Ethereal Stage experts. But you forget, you were in a deadlock before you saved the juniors, and couldn’t get any advantage either. And now, you are much more tired than us. You’ll be fighting one against five. You’re finished!”
The five just cracked up.
“Why are you laughing? Aren’t I right?” The old man asked.
Li Jingtian nodded, “Ha-ha-ha, right, you’re totally right. Though, that was when we fought alone.”
The elder had a sinking feeling.
“Who knew the day would come for old coots like us that would need us to work together, ha-ha-ha…” Qiu Yanhai chuckled and said, “In any case, we’re also fighting for Steward Zhuo this time around, who showed us so much favor all this time. We best not drag our behinds any longer or Clan Head might actually suffer and we’ll be worse off.”
The other four grinned, “Sure.”
Heaven and Earth Sages made a sign and one black and one white glow each shot from them. The two used this s.h.i.+ning light to vanish.
When the light dispersed, the scenery around the thirty enemies changed. There was no more clamor of the fights from other people, just a world in shades of gray.
“s.h.i.+t, this is a domain soul. We have to get out of here before we fall victim any further!” One elder shouted.
The others took out their souls, a glittering display of swords, spears, axes and other weapons.
“It won’t change anything. The two had a domain soul but we will smash it with thirty souls attacking it at once! “
The others shouted as well but when they took out their souls to attack, the world s.h.i.+fted. Black and white kept changing and turning their power into nothing. Even their soul power was being consumed.
Outside the domain, the sages stood before the black and white ball as it spun around, “Ha-ha-ha, our domain is the Yin-yang Reversal. Your strength will be sapped from the constant change, given back to the world. Until you have nothing left and your soul crumbles. You’ve got no chance in forcing your way out.”
The elder startled and thought of another way, “Don’t waste your energy, or the domain will take it. Gather your soul power together and breach the domain. We’re thirty Ethereal Stage experts! It can’t dissipate so much power all at once.”
“Ha-ha-ha, right you are. Yin-yang Reversal has the yin and yang characteristics. No matter how many people are inside, their power will be taken away if acting alone. But together, you can get out.”
Heaven Sage mocked, turning to Li Jingtian, “They’re about to join hands and won’t be able to hold it. You should fight as well.”
“Ha-ha-ha, well said.”
Li Jingtian’s black aura surged and roared. A black dragon took to the skies and shot into the black and hite ball. “Soul variant, Necro Dragon Chained Claw!”
Roar!
As the soul power of all inside the domain gathered, a draconic roar entered their ears.
Before they could figure out what was happening, black claws fell from above like spears. They carried a sinister power as they pelted their souls and forced them to scatter.
Everyone coughed blood and grew pale. The weaker ones took it harder, their souls gone from this world.
The other cried out in fear. They never thought a large-scale attack would hold so much power in each strike.
In a blink, the thirty Ethereal Stage experts were reduced to around half.
What they didn’t know was while they were scared inside the dual ball, Li Jingtian was spent outside, gasping, “It’s not easy taking on so many. Old Qiu, I leave the rest to you two.”
“Tch, of course you’d be exhausted taking out half!”
Qiu Yanhai grinned, “Old Li, you’re just showing off. Wasn’t there five of us? It should be one to six.”
“Fine, then don’t join and leave the rest to the sages.” Elder Li rolled his eyes.
Now, though, Qiu Yanhai’s face fell, “No way. Since you got half, how can I fall short?”
Qiu Yanhai turned to Xue Qingjian with desire, about to spew fire.
Xue Qingjian shook her head and giggled. She rolled her eyes.
[Looks who’s showing off now!]
The two made their signs as one hot and one cold soul came out and made contact. In a blink, they became a scorching and bright light as it shot for the domain.
[Yin-yang Convergence, World Annihilation…]
