Chapter 158: Onslaught!
Space Cutting Technique!
This spell was extremely difficult to master and control. Dong Xingchang had originally managed to perfect this extraordinary spell, which enabled him to cut off a piece of the Alien World from that restricted area and arrange it as it is now.
However, this cutting technique was quite time-consuming, and it had taken a whole month to cut through the small space where Chen Ansheng and the other person were located, which was already the limit.
“Disciple, once your master cuts through the space, the two demon pirates will randomly appear within a thousand miles. Gather the people, and lock down this area!”
Dong Xingchang instructed.
“Yes, Master!”
Lin Xian accepted the command and left.
Subsequently, Dong Xingchang began to carefully cut the space around the ancient bell using a secret method.
Inside the ancient bell.
Zhong Li, who was just delving into cultivation, immediately sensed the disturbance.
“This old villain actually plans to cut through space!”
Upon sensing this, Zhong Li felt a great unease.
Once separated from the Alien World, not only would the task be left incomplete, but the defenses of the ancient bell would also fail.
Then, against the onslaught of numerous experts from the Xuan Yang Immortal Mansion, Zhong Li would have no means of self-preservation, let alone the ability to protect Chen Ansheng.
“Certainly the old villain won’t get the space cut open! Oaf donkey, I’ll do my best to delay, and it’s up to you now to see if your cultivation speed is sufficient!”
Zhong Li muttered and then abruptly delivered a palm strike from within the ancient bell.
Since Zhong Li was the owner of the ancient bell, her attack naturally passed through unobstructed.
The palm force that broke through sent shockwaves through the fractured space, causing it to distort chaotically.
Dong Xingchang’s secret method was thereby disrupted.
“You insolent wretch, still daring to act so brazenly? When this old man catches you, I’ll flay your skin and rip your sinews, leaving you in a state where you’d wish for neither life nor death!”
Dong Xingchang roared in anger.
“Foul villain, cease your pompous words! If I were afraid of you, I wouldn’t come here!” Zhong Li laughed.
“Stupid Female Demon, do you actually think you can delay time like this? How incredibly naive!”
Dong Xingchang conjured a magical force shield, wrapping the ancient bell within it and continued cutting through the space.
When Zhong Li launched her next attack, the transmitted force was blocked by the protective shield, which prevented any further interference with Dong Xingchang.
But did Zhong Li have only this one trick?
She channeled alien energy, empowering the nascent embryo of divine power within her, and a shadow with black wings emerged behind her.
“Skree!”
Zhong Li unleashed an alien immortal technique, sending out waves of interference through a bizarre sound.
Indeed, Dong Xingchang’s protective barrier couldn’t stop the transmission of the sound wave, and the space cutting was disrupted once again.
“You! You vile Female Demon, how dare you have such means! This old man will let you struggle, and the more you struggle, the worse your fate will be when I seize you!”
“Come ahead then! Your Auntie is waiting for you!”
Dong Xingchang stopped paying attention to Zhong Li, enduring her disruption while he continued cutting through the space by force.
Opposite Zhong Li, Chen Ansheng was seated cross-legged with closed eyes, completely ignoring everything happening around him and immersing deeply in cultivation.
Time flowed.
In a blink, three days had passed.
Three days here was equivalent to three months outside!
During this period, Zhong Li exhausted all her methods and tricks, delaying Dong Xingchang by two days.
“One more moment, and this space will be detached from the Alien World!”
Zhong Li sighed in her heart. She knew the mission was likely to be incomplete, and it looked like her life and Chen Ansheng’s would be lost as well.
Buzz!
At this moment, a tremor echoed through the space.
An ominous glow suddenly erupted from Chen Ansheng’s figure.
“Huff.”
In the next moment, Chen Ansheng opened his eyes.
“Senior Sister, I have reached the peak of the Blood Wheel Realm.”
Upon hearing this, Zhong Li, who was extremely disappointed, felt a flicker of hope. “To reach the Blood Wheel Realm in such a short time, your alien cultivation talent is not beneath me at all. Excellent!”
Chen Ansheng was somewhat surprised. It was rare for the demoness to compliment him.
“Is there still time? How should I proceed?”
Chen Ansheng’s spiritual sense detected the less-than-ideal situation outside and asked seriously.
“Time or no time, we must fight! As long as we remain in this space, the old villain will not dare to fight with all his might, and you don’t have to confront him head-on. You just need to disrupt the local rules, which will surely disarray him,” Zhong Li replied.
“Good, let me out quickly!”
Chen Ansheng understood that whether they would survive this time depended solely on himself and could not rely on the female demon.
“Alright.”
Zhong Li nodded and instructed further. “You bear the black pot well; it can save your life in a critical moment. I will be mindful of the situation and do my best to assist you.”
Using his spiritual awareness, Chen Ansheng scanned his entire appearance.
Carrying a large black pot on his back indeed looked peculiar.
But there was nothing to be done about it. Though unseemly, his life was more important.
“There’s no time! Begin!”
Seeing this small area had already been completely cut, Zhong Li opened the ancient bell and her figure retreated backwards.
As for Chen Ansheng, he transformed into a streak of black light and rushed out accordingly.
“Beast! Wanting to die!”
Seeing the space already cut open but the two magic cult youngsters rushing out willingly, Dong Xingchang felt as if he had wasted much effort for nothing, infuriated to grit his teeth.
Snap!
A crisp sound reverberated, as Dong Xingchang’s setup boundary was broken by Chen Ansheng’s onrush.
Given that it was just the spirit of Dong Xingchang present, and he dared not employ excessively powerful techniques for fear of disturbing the local spatial rules, Chen Ansheng managed to shatter the boundary.
“Evil thief, where are you fleeing!”
Dong Xingchang was surprised and angry. In this extremely short time, the thief had actually cultivated to such a high Alien Realm!
Still, Dong Xingchang was merely astonished by Chen Ansheng’s cultivation speed. A mere Blood Wheel Realm was nowhere near enough to be of concern for him, a cultivator for thousands of years with a strength comparable to the Xuan Immortals of the outside world.
The next moment, his immortal spirit raised his hands and pushed them forth.
“Bang!”
A powerful force collided with the oncoming black light.
Tremendous power waves rippled out, shaking the space violently.
“Bad, this little pest is actually tricking me!”
After the first strike, Dong Xingchang realized that the black light just now was not Chen Ansheng’s true body but a secret technique he had used.
Realizing this, Dong Xingchang quickly scanned with his spirit and instantly locked onto the figure of Chen Ansheng charging towards the blood sun in the sky.
“Thief, trying to die!”
Dong Xingchang panicked. If the thief were to reach the heart of the Alien Immortal, the consequences would be catastrophic.
Thus, Dong Xingchang temporarily put aside other concerns, unleashed his full force, and struck a palm towards Chen Ansheng’s figure.
A vast amount of Immortal-level force surged towards Chen Ansheng.
“Great Mark of Void Hand!”
Chen Ansheng, sensing the impending crisis, immediately invoked the Immortal Technique Zhong Li had given him, which he had comprehended during his cultivation.
In an instant, several massive black hands appeared, ignoring spatial distance, and clashed with Dong Xingchang’s attack.
However, the power gap between the two was simply too great. Chen Ansheng’s Great Mark of Void Hand could only block for less than a breath of time before shattering into pieces.
“You, truly you are a talented cultivator of alien arts! But, against this old man, you’re still too inexperienced!”
While admiring Chen Ansheng, to ensure his victory, Dong Xingchang used another secret method. Instantly, several black spears appeared in front, behind, and on either side of Chen Ansheng, charging towards him.
“Bang!”
Chen Ansheng’s back was first struck by that original palm of Dong Xingchang.
The overwhelming power penetrated into his internal organs.
Had it not been for the black pot on his back, Chen Ansheng would have been annihilated by that single palm.
