"Retreat! Everyone, retreat for now! "
A thunderous roar resounded through the void. The golden giant on the mountain peak finally gave the order to retreat in a low, muffled voice. The Zhengqi League was far more difficult to deal with than they had imagined. In the current situation, it would be very difficult to defeat them.
"Buzz!"
When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. The men in black at the base of the mountain were the first to retreat, followed by those halfway up the mountain, all of them madly fleeing into the darkness. Finally, the three bamboo hat men also began to flee.
"Hmph! Where do you think you're going! "
With a cold snort, the Zhengqi League's vice alliance lord immediately gave chase, his robes flapping in the wind.
But a moment later, a white mist spread out, swiftly sweeping toward Song Yuanyi and the vice alliance lord.
"Careful!"
A voice came from behind. A hint of fear appeared in the white-clothed man's eyes. He could tell at a glance that this fog was poisonous, but he was not afraid. Boom! A tsunami of white Stellar Energy erupted from his body, instantly scattering the white fog. The Stellar Energy continued onward, striking the bamboo hat man who was at the very back.
Fwoosh!
This move was incredibly fast. Even though the third bamboo hat man had been prepared, he was still unable to endure the terrifying power of the Sundering Art. In a flash, his Stellar Energy crumbled, and he vomited a mouthful of blood.
Under the effect of this huge force, he lost control of his body and somersaulted a few times. However, he also borrowed this force to increase his speed and quickly escaped into the night, escaping without a trace.
"Forget it, Guangting. Don't chase a cornered enemy!"
Song Yuanyi saw that the white-clothed man still wanted to give chase, so he immediately stopped him.
In this brief delay, the men in black had already fled in different directions, vanishing from sight.
"Yuan Yi, what's going on here? Where did such powerful opponents come from, and their techniques are so strange?"
Since his opponents had already fled, Xie Guangting could only give up on the pursuit and turn to Song Yuanyi.
"I don't know the origins of these men in black, so I can't answer your question. Let's treat the wounded first. We'll talk about this later."
Song Yuanyi's face was a little pale. It was obvious that he had been injured in this fierce battle. However, he flicked his sleeves and slowly walked down from the sky.
Chi!
His gaze swept across the surroundings, and five fingers shot out from his sleeves. With a light flick, a dozen or so finger energies pierced through the air, and each of them landed on an injured Zhengqi League disciple who was lying on the ground.
Before defeating his opponent, Song Yuanyi didn't dare to expend too much energy. But now that the battle was over, everything was different.
"Ah!"
A series of painful groans could be heard as the Zhengqi League disciples, who were lying motionless on the ground, coughed slightly and slowly crawled up from the ground.
Their auras were still weak, but the color of their faces was visibly turning rosy. Even their injuries were rapidly healing.
"Alliance Lord!"
The crowd bowed when they saw Song Yuanyi, but Song Yuanyi showed weakness. He brushed past the crowd and rushed forward. Boom! He flicked his sleeves, and a boundless wave of Eternal Spring Stellar Energy surged out. Wherever the Stellar Energy passed, a large number of Zhengqi League disciples who had been lying on the ground stood up, and their injuries healed.
Even some of the Zhengqi League disciples who had been poisoned by the Celestial Powder were dispelled by Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Stellar Energy, and they woke up one by one.
Boom! In the end, Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Mantra poured down from the top of the mountain like a wave. Many of the Zhengqi League disciples stood up, but even more collapsed on the surface of the mountain, never to rise again.
Many of these people had died in the process of fighting with the men in black, but there was also a significant portion who had been poisoned by the Celestial Powder. Because they had inhaled too much, they were deeply poisoned. Even Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Mantra was useless.
"The Celestial Powder this time is different from the one we used last time. It's much more violent!"
As Wang Chong walked up the mountain, he swept his gaze across the surroundings and saw the miserable state of the disciples who had been poisoned by the Celestial Powder.
In Liuyao City, the men in black had also used the Celestial Powder on them, but that powder was colorless and odorless. It was mainly used to paralyze Stellar Energy and capture them alive. However, it was different this time. The poison was much more violent.
"Fortunately, the night wind only blows from one side. Otherwise, the losses would be even greater."
Wang Chong thought to himself.
The majority of the disciples who had died were concentrated on the east side of the mountain. The men in black had scattered the powder into the air and mixed it with the wind while they were defenseless, poisoning them.
As far as Wang Chong could see, the skin, fingernails, lips, and faces of these people had all turned dry and black. They couldn't be more dead. Moreover, their bodies were contorted, a clear sign that they had been in excruciating pain.
Although Song Yuanyi's Eternal Spring Mantra was said to be able to regrow flesh and bones from the dead, it was still powerless in this situation.
All was quiet once more, but the guards would need some time.
… …
After the battle was over, in a forest several dozen li away from the Zhengqi Alliance base, the three bamboo hat men and the surviving men in black had gathered together. The bamboo hat leader who had transformed into a golden giant had dispersed his giant form and returned to his normal size.
"What's going on? It's been so long, but none of you have found any trace of the target?"
The bamboo hat leader asked, his face pale. Naked, he took a towel from one of his subordinates and wiped his face. His body was drenched in cold sweat, and if one looked carefully, one would notice that on his chest, there was a golden warrior totem that seemed to be alive. This totem pulsed with his muscles, even exuding waves of light.
After this battle, the bamboo hat leader appeared extremely exhausted. Returning to his normal size from a golden giant of twenty to thirty meters had not consumed much of his Stellar Energy, but it had been a painful torment to the body and extremely taxing on his stamina. This Zhengqi Alliance Lord was far more difficult to deal with than he had imagined.
"No. We've been searching everywhere, but we've found nothing."
One by one, the black-clothed men lowered their heads.
The bamboo hat leader's hand froze in the middle of wiping his face, and his eyes turned cold.
Bang!
At this moment, Gang Energy erupted. Before the black-clothed experts could react, they were sent flying like broken kites. With a loud bang, they smashed heavily into several thousand-year-old ancient trees. Even the trunks, which were thick enough for three to four people to wrap their arms around them, were smashed into pieces. Half of their bodies were embedded in the ground, and countless splinters of wood splashed everywhere.
"A bunch of useless things!"
Another bamboo hat man cursed as he sent his men flying with a palm, and then he slowly drew back his palm. This night raid could be described as a massive defeat. They had believed that victory was in the bag, but they had never expected this result. In the end, they didn't even know where the target was. This was simply humiliating.
"Milord, we've been standing guard at the base of the mountain this entire time. It was true that no one had ever left. We don't know what happened, but the spirit eagles shouldn't have failed … "
A man in black lowered his head and muttered.
"Trash!"
The bamboo hat man's eyes chilled, and after glancing at the man in black, he sent out a burst of mental energy. A moment later, the man's eyes went slack, his hands clutching his throat as he kneeled on the ground, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets. Chi, a stream of black blood suddenly burst out from his eyes, mouth, ears, and nose. With a peng sound, this black-clothed man fell to the ground, motionless, without any signs of life.
Only now did the bamboo hat man seem to feel a little better. The other men in black were silent, their heads lowered, not daring to say anything else.
"Forget it. The mission has failed, so killing them is useless. Even the Immortal Lord was alarmed and forced to take action. This target is not as easy to deal with as we imagined. "
At this moment, the third bamboo hat man who had been silent all this time finally spoke.
"The most urgent task is to think about what we should do next."
The third bamboo hat man quickly turned his gaze to the ordinary men in black.
"All of you, withdraw! We will summon you if we need anything. "
"Yes, Milord!"
The group of black-clothed men were filled with terror and immediately scattered like birds and beasts.
Only after the three men in black had dispersed did they turn their heads.
"Milord, how is it?"
Once there was no one else around, the second and third bamboo hat men turned to their leader. Even though the others had yet to react, believing that this was just a normal Yellow Scarf Warrior withdrawing his cultivation, the two knew that his condition was rather bad.
"I underestimated him. I didn't think that there would be such a formidable figure in the martial arts world of the Central Plains! To be able to cultivate that technique to such a level! "
The leader of the bamboo hat men did not directly answer. Instead, he turned his gaze to the mountain where the battle with the Zhengqi Alliance had taken place. Slowly, a trickle of black blood seeped out of his lips.
The two bamboo hat men were stunned by this sight. They were well aware of the bamboo hat leader's strength. In this battle, he had transformed into a golden giant and possessed peerless might, but in the end, none of them had expected that he would still lose against the Zhengqi Alliance Lord.
"… Although he isn't as strong as I am, the toughness and toughness of his organs are unimaginable. Not even my giant transformation can compare. If I hadn't seen it for myself, I wouldn't have dared to believe it! We were truly too careless this time! "
The bamboo hat leader said.
"This Zhengqi Alliance is too bold. A bunch of lowly ants actually dared to oppose us Gods. Their audacity is unpardonable. Let's find a chance to completely annihilate this Zhengqi Alliance! "
The second bamboo hat man said, a chilling light in his eyes.
"Now is not the time to consider this matter!"
The bamboo hat leader waved his hand and immediately rejected the idea.
"The True Lord will soon descend. If we cannot find the target and complete the mission before the True Lord arrives, you all know the consequences."
"Buzz!"
The bamboo hat men paled at the mention of the True Lord's arrival, a suffocating fear appearing in the depths of their eyes.
"Milord, then we …"
The other two bamboo hat men swallowed, no longer as sharp as before.
"Relax. The Origin Immortal Mountain will appear soon. When the time comes, it won't be too late for us to deal with them! And if there are no accidents, our 'target' will also appear there! "
