"Sect Leader, I'm here."
An old and vigorous voice rang out from below. Immediately, a figure floated up from below and landed beside them. It was Elder Di. Right now, he looked extremely wretched. His grey robes were already tattered and could barely cover his body. His exposed skin was filled with wounds caused by the Power of Darkness. Although he was standing steadily, his face alternated between red and white. It was obvious that he had suffered serious internal injuries.
"It's good that you're fine."
"Let's not talk about anything else first. She must be at the end of her tether. She won't be able to launch such an attack again. We must not let her escape! Otherwise, putting aside our hatred for hurting Sect Leader, how can we be at ease with such a person in this world? " Shui Xuanfeng suppressed his injuries and gritted his teeth as he spoke. With that, he let out an explosive roar and rose into the air. With his fastest speed, he chased after Oculum who was flying towards Ye Wuchen.
She had already been in a stalemate with them for a long time. It was already a miracle that she did not die under the combined power of the Water Jade Dragon. It was impossible for her to still have the ability to move. However, no one expected her to launch another explosive attack and sever Shui Yunlan's arm … However, that was not her limit. Under that kind of situation, she had released another Power of Darkness that could change the color of the heavens and earth. The two Deity level experts were both injured to varying degrees.
Daughter of Tian Fa, just who was she?! Was there a limit to her power and her life?!
No matter what the outcome was today, the shadow that the girl in black had left in their hearts would never be erased. At this moment, they had to make a choice. The only choice was to seal her at all costs. If possible, they had to destroy her. Otherwise, as Shui Xuanfeng had said, they would never be able to rest easy with such a person in this world.
Elder Di and Elder Di followed closely behind Shui Xuanfeng and charged towards Oculum.
Her energy was almost depleted and Oculum started to feel her eyelids grow heavy. Her flying speed was initially as fast as lightning but now it was incomparably slow and before she could reach Ye Wuchen's side, Elder Tian had already caught up to her and a gush of energy that contained an extremely strong power of water jade attacked her from behind.
Feeling the power behind him, Oculum twisted his body and moved ten meters to the side, narrowly dodging the attack. As Oculum dodged it, the ice-cold energy streaked across the sky, stirring up turbulence and distortions in the air as it shot downwards. When it hit the ground, it happened to hit where Ye Wuchen was.
Just as Ye Wuchen sensed the danger, a mountain-toppling, tsunami-like pressure assaulted his chest. Before the pressure even got close to him, it already gave him a terrifying feeling as if his body was about to be completely crushed. He was shocked, but he quickly regained his composure. In an instant, he released all the power of Wuchen and built a wall of Qi in front of him.
This was the first time that Ye Wuchen had used all his energy for defense. However, even though that was only a hurried attack by Elder Tian, the power of a Godly level being was not to be underestimated. The defensive barrier that he had constructed using the power of Dawnless blocked the power of the water jade for a moment before a gap was abruptly torn open … Ye Wuchen felt a tightness in his chest and his vision went white. His body had already been lifted up by an irresistible force and smashed fiercely against the wall behind him. After smashing through two walls, he finally slumped down weakly.
His entire body was sore and painful and the energy in his body was extremely chaotic. Ye Wuchen took a light breath and quickly used the power of Wuchen to regulate his breathing. Fortunately, he had been far away and he had used the power of Wuchen to block a large portion of the impact. Therefore, he did not suffer too much damage. However, this was the simplest attack from a Godly level cultivator. It made him understand even more clearly just how much pressure Oculum had to endure when he was facing four Godly level cultivators on his own, and how much power he had to rely on.
When Ye Wuchen was attacked, Oculum's body suddenly froze in mid-air and his heartbeat seemed to have completely stopped as well. She watched as Ye Wuchen was sent flying until he fell powerlessly onto the ground … Something exploded in her chest. She slowly turned around and her eyes, which were suddenly filled with black light, reflected a gush of bitter hatred as she stared fixedly at Elder Tian who was charging towards her.
Ever since she had started following by Ye Wuchen's side, she had never been willing to leave his side. She had used her own hands to help him clear away all the obstacles in front of him. With her around, whoever Ye Wuchen wanted to kill, he never had to do it himself. And three years ago, during that short period of time when she had left Ye Wuchen's side, she had almost never been able to see him again. During that period of time when she had lost Ye Wuchen, she had lived in fear, extravagant hopes, longing and hatred towards herself. When she had finally found him again, she had sworn to herself that she would never let anyone hurt him again.
Just like today, she would rather not listen to him than allow herself to leave him for such a long period of time, allowing him to come to such a dangerous place alone.
And right now, she had watched helplessly as someone used his power to injure her. Although he had not done it on purpose, but no matter what the reason was …
The sky suddenly turned dark once again but it was obviously different from the previous few times. This time, the darkness did not have the suffocating pressure that accompanied the previous few times. Instead, it came too quickly, so quickly that it caught everyone off guard. The sky which was clearly still bright had suddenly turned as dark as ink. Before their eyes, there was no longer a sliver of light and they could not see anything clearly.
Absolute Darkness Space – A darkness exclusive territory that wiped out all light. Although the darkness elements which formed this Absolute Darkness Space did not have any offensive capabilities, it could cause all the target's world to descend into absolute darkness, rendering their eyes completely useless. On the other hand, Oculum could make use of the omnipresent darkness elements to accurately sense the target's location and movement position.
The moment the absolute darkness had just formed, everyone who had entered it subconsciously stopped moving. Elder Tian floated in the air, his expression extremely solemn. Other than the sound, he could no longer see anything else in his surroundings. However, the spiritual sense that existed through his God level abilities was telling him that there was a pair of pitch-black eyes staring at him from a corner in the darkness with a frightening hatred, causing him to feel an incomparably clear chill throughout his entire body, and even in the depths of his heart.
That feeling was as if an ice-cold knife was pressed against his neck and his throat could be slit at any time.
"Everyone be careful!!" Elder Tian retreated a large distance and shouted in a low voice. He was unable to use the power of the water jade to counteract this kind of non-offensive darkness energy and could only use light to dispel it. However, in Nanhuangzong, there were very few people who cultivated in light magic. Even though he was a high level Godly level master, he was still helpless and could only try to retreat and escape from this dark space. The darkness, brought him a heavier and heavier pressure.
Chi!
A soft, unbearable sound echoed in the dark space. It was this soft sound that suppressed the restlessness caused by the descent of darkness, and entered everyone's ears with incomparable clarity …
In the world of darkness, Oculum's body flew out parallel to the ground. She stretched out her right hand, the cold tip of the Sky Punishment Blade pointed straight ahead. Her body began to spin at lightning speed and in the blink of an eye, it brought about a spinning top shaped horizontal tornado of darkness. That tornado of darkness tore apart the darkness, tore apart the space, tore apart all the power that stood in its way, bringing with it an aura and pressure that could destroy everything in its path …
"Ugh!" A muffled groan was heard, it was a painful groan that came from a sudden attack and this sound obviously came from Elder Tian's mouth. Elder Di and Shui Xuanfeng were both shocked and shouted, "Elder Tian, are you alright!?"
Just as their cries of shock fell, the world before their eyes suddenly brightened. The sudden change from absolute darkness to light caused everyone's eyes, who had been in absolute darkness, to feel a piercing pain in their eyes and they instinctively closed their eyes. Following that, Elder Di and Shui Xuanfeng's tragic cries rang out in their ears at the same time, "Elder Tian!!"
Lady Sky Punishment and Ye Wuchen had already disappeared from their line of sight, their whereabouts unknown. Meanwhile, Elder Tian, who had the highest seniority in Nanhuangzong and was also the strongest, had already fallen from the sky and was lying limply on the ground. His eyes were wide open and his chest was heaving up and down violently. Shockingly, a blood-red dagger had been stabbed into his chest.
Right after that, Elder Tian's chest flashed with a scarlet brilliance for an instant. That Sky Punishment Blade flew up and like a flashing meteor, it flew towards the south, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"Hurry! Lady Sky Punishment has taken Ye Wuchen away … Hurry up and chase after them. Lady Sky Punishment is already an arrow at the end of its flight, they can't have gone far. Elder Tian's vital parts were not injured, he'll be fine. "Shui Yunlan said through gritted teeth. With Elder Tian's God-level Water Jade Technique's self-healing ability, forget about just piercing through a wound and not injuring his vital parts, even if his vital parts were injured, it might not be able to take his life.
"Hurry up and go, I'm fine. If she escapes, it'll be the greatest disaster for our Nanhuangzong." Elder Tian clutched his bleeding chest, his voice as calm as ever, without the slightest hint of pain.
However, no one noticed that the part that was covered by Elder Tian's hand was drifting with wisps of imperceptible gray gas …
Elder Di and Shui Xuanfeng nodded in unison. Without further delay, they chased after the Sky Punishment Blade at their fastest speed. Behind them, dozens of Nanhuangzong experts also quickly caught up.
Oculum brought Ye Wuchen and flew towards the West Pole. She used all her strength, using the last bit of energy in her body to raise her speed to the maximum. Even after the Sky Punishment Blade pierced through Elder Tian's defense and pierced his chest, she did not have the time to summon it back.
"Oculum … Silly Oculum, you still followed us." Ye Wuchen had one hand wrapped around her slender waist, the other hand caressing her head as he spoke softly.
Oculum's expression was flustered. She turned her face to the side, her eyes flashing brightly.
"If I continue to be spoiled by you like this, how will I be able to leave you in the future … If there comes a day when you have no choice but to leave me, what should I do?" Ye Wuchen's lips curled into a smile, his eyes glazed over.
Oculum's flustered expression disappeared. She pressed her body closer to him, feeling his warmth meekly. In the midst of flying, her body suddenly sank for a moment, then slowly rose up again.
Ye Wuchen flipped his arms over and hugged Oculum tightly in his arms, stopping her from flying. Just like that, he brought her to stay in the air. "Oculum, you must be tired. Have a good sleep. When you wake up, we'll already be home."
His voice was very soft and gentle. Oculum looked at him and blinked her eyes lightly. That heavy sense of fatigue and weakness finally attacked her at once. Her eyelids became heavy and finally, she slowly closed her eyes.
As she fell asleep, the Sky Punishment Blade that belonged to her left Elder Tian's body and flew back to her.
