Chapter 101
Chapter 101: Ambush. Qin Yefeng led his team closely behind Yao Moxie, his entire body erupting with Burning Heaven Dragon Flame to counteract the Earth Flames constantly rising from the ground.
Zi Baiying and the others only needed to watch out for the Heavenly Lightning descending from above.
Su Ying, being the weakest, nervously watched the azure lightning strike down from the sky, also fearing the red flames rising from the ground.
“You walk behind me, I’ll clear the path for you,” Xiong Yu said, trying to reassure Su Ying. “Don’t be afraid, Big Brother Yefeng is here.”
“Mhm,” Su Ying replied gratefully.
“Ah! Save me!” As the team advanced, one person from the ten-person squad following them was engulfed by the Earth Flames, letting out a terrifying, miserable shriek.
The agonizing screams sent shivers down Zi Baiying and Su Ying’s spines. Such torment could only come from an unimaginable burning pain.
Before long, the person was reduced to a skeletal frame by the Earth Flames, then tumbled into the abyss below, where red flames surged.
Afterward, Qin Yefeng walked even more cautiously, concentrating intensely to avoid being struck by the azure lightning from above, and suppressing the red flames on the ground to prevent the Earth Flames from burning him.
At this moment, Yang Tianfeng and Yang Tianguang also used special methods to catch up with Qin Yefeng and Zi Baiying’s team.
Unlike Yao Moxie, who used his Magical Energy to directly resist the azure lightning, Yang Tianguang walked with a peculiar rhythm along the path, sometimes even retreating.
Meanwhile, at the very end of the team, the Peak of the Xiantian Realm Student was diligently dodging the Earth Flames, but failed to notice the azure Heavenly Lightning descending from the sky and was struck directly.
Instantly, the air filled with the scent of burnt black smoke and roasted human flesh. With the death of this Peak of the Xiantian Realm Student, the morale of those attempting to break the formation plummeted even further.
After a period of advancement, Yao Moxie, who had set out first, had already reached the end of the Earth-Flame Formation.
Beneath the azure Heavenly Lightning and above the red Earth Flames, there were three swirling, dual-colored vortex formation eyes, constantly emitting explosive Magical Energy annihilations, a truly terrifying sight.
Yao Moxie erupted with pale red True Essence Power, momentarily blinding everyone, then chose one of the three dual-colored vortexes and leaped in.
“Damn it! Without us, he wouldn’t have been the first to enter the Cangyue Cave Abode, yet he still hides the correct passage!” Xiong Yu cursed, witnessing the scene.
Soon after, Qin Yefeng and the others also arrived at the most perilous part of the Earth-Flame Formation.
From the sky, destructive azure lightning continuously struck down, like colossal azure lightning pythons, while dark red flames surged incessantly from beneath the ground.
“It’s a good thing Big Brother Qin Yefeng gave me a Blood Bodhi, otherwise I really wouldn’t have been able to endure this, and I would have died in this formation,” Xiong Yu said, still trembling with lingering fear.
Qin Yefeng unleashed even more Spiritual Power, conjuring more Burning Heaven Dragon Flame to resist the Earth Flames continuously rising from the ground.
“Should I really listen to Yao Moxie and jump into the same formation eye as him?” Qin Yefeng felt a flicker of uncertainty as he gazed at the three nearly identical dual-colored vortex formation eyes.
In truth, this question was both incredibly complex and incredibly simple, for its core lay in whether Yao Moxie himself was trustworthy.
“Big Brother Qin Yefeng, you can’t keep thinking! I’m about to turn into a roasted pig!” Xiong Yu urged Qin Yefeng, sweat pouring from him, to quickly leave the area.
Beneath the azure Heavenly Lightning and above the red Earth Flames, there was a dual-colored vortex, with multiple formation eyes continuously releasing violent energy, making the surrounding environment truly terrifying.
Qin Yefeng looked at the multiple formation eyes before him, unable to discern any particular difference among them.
However, within the formation eye chosen by Yao Moxie, Qin Yefeng detected an additional layer of Spiritual Power Amplification.
“All of you, follow me and jump into this formation eye. No matter what happens, don’t panic. Calmness is the key to solving problems. If you truly encounter danger, then shout loudly.”
After Qin Yefeng finished speaking, his entire body erupted with golden-yellow Spiritual Power, and the Burning Heaven Dragon Flame directly enveloped him as he leaped into the dual-colored vortex with the greater Spiritual Power.
Xiong Yu, Zi Baiying, and the others followed Qin Yefeng into the dual-colored vortex without a moment’s hesitation.
Yang Tianfeng and Yang Tianguang, who had been following closely, also arrived at the formation eye where Qin Yefeng and the others had vanished, but they were not in a hurry to jump in.
“Brother, aren’t we jumping yet?” Yang Tianfeng asked, puzzled as to why Yang Tianguang wasn’t hurrying into the formation eye.
“My silly sister, do you know who went into the Cangyue Cave Abode ahead of us? A True Essence Realm expert, and a four-person team. If we follow them into the Cangyue Cave Abode, and either of those two groups decides to attack us, our situation would be very dangerous,” Yang Tianguang explained to Yang Tianfeng, analyzing the situation.
“Why would they attack us? They haven’t laid a hand on us since the beginning, and they seemed quite friendly,” Yang Tianfeng said, still confused.
“Martial Artists often waver between good and evil. In pursuit of benefits, killing us would be a perfectly normal thing,” Yang Tianguang explained to Yang Tianfeng once more.
The Cangyue Palace Gate was tightly shut, imbued with a powerful, blood-red restriction that pulsed across its surface.
Through a Purple Mansion Palace Gate, layered three times inside and out, Qin Yefeng and the others slowly materialized.
Qin Yefeng and his companions arrived at an unfamiliar palace. From a distance, they saw crossbeams made of purple jade on the palace, and the large black palace gate was carved with black Qilins.
On the rafters hung exquisite, translucent purple jade beads. The surrounding structure featured triple eaves and four clusters, adorned with layers of jade carvings depicting soaring dragons and phoenixes, and topped by a magnificent grand purple jewel.
“Holy crap, we’re rich!” Xiong Yu exclaimed, utterly thrilled as he gazed at a side hall within the Cangyue Cave Abode.
“We’ve reached the Cangyue Cave Abode. It’s true there are many treasures here, but it’s also very dangerous. We must be careful,” Qin Yefeng reminded Xiong Yu.
“I know! With the four of us together, even a True Essence Realm Student would have to think twice before messing with us. What’s there to be afraid of?” Xiong Yu declared boldly.
Xiong Yu stomped his feet, his entire body erupting with earthy yellow Spiritual Power, and leaped towards the top of the side hall, but he couldn’t jump at all!
“Damn it, what’s going on? My purple jade beads!” Xiong Yu complained, landing hard on his backside.
“This Cangyue Cave Abode seems to have a sealing effect on Spiritual Power,” Zi Baiying exclaimed in surprise after seeing Xiong Yu fall and then activating her own Spiritual Power, only to find its outward release significantly diminished.
“However, it doesn’t seem to affect me,” Qin Yefeng said, his entire body erupting with powerful golden Spiritual Power as he leaped and soared into the air.
Qin Yefeng directly resisted the restrictions within the cave abode, soaring up and plucking the purple jewel from the center of the hall.
Qin Yefeng lowered his head, examining the purple jewel in his hand. It felt cool to the touch and looked beautiful, but unfortunately, it contained no Spiritual Power energy whatsoever.
“Here, I’ve taken this down for you,” Qin Yefeng said, tossing the purple jewel to Xiong Yu.
“Then I won’t be shy about accepting it, this is great!” Xiong Yu chuckled happily, quickly placing the purple jewel into his Storage Bag.
“Whoosh!” Just then, a swift arrow tore through the air. Qin Yefeng’s expression changed drastically, and he quickly snatched the arrow heading for Xiong Yu with his hand!
“Enemies!” “Martial Artists are ambushing us!”
Just as Qin Yefeng and his companions were about to enter the palace, several sharp Auras swiftly surrounded them, and they even fired arrows that nearly killed Xiong Yu!
