Chapter 1080 - Yin-Faced Ghost
Experts at the pinnacle of the Earth Profound Realm surrounded Liu Wuxie, cutting off all paths of retreat.
He threw his head back and let out a roar; the desolate world within him echoed with a long and deep rumble. He unleashed a terrifying surge of true essence that burst through his limbs like a tidal wave.
"Great Dragon Aspect Art!" he roared. The Heavenly Dragon Seal rose to block the descending palm strike, granting him a split-second window to escape.
"We can't let him get away!" someone shouted.
His use of the Death Dao Art only hardened their resolve to kill him. If he managed to reach the Barefooted Elder, it could spell disaster for the entire Eastern Domain.
A thunderous boom followed as Liu Wuxie's Great Dragon Aspect Art clashed against the myriad palm strikes. Shockwaves rippled outward. Black trees exploded, and the force surged into the Ghostwater River, where countless water ghosts—just freed from the ice—were obliterated on impact.
Meanwhile, Fiery carried Tian Wucang through a series of dense groves before arriving at a dark, oppressive forest where the trees seemed to be cloaked in black miasma.
Even Fiery paused, sensing danger. Despite its divine status, the forest's poison still posed a threat. Entering could put its life at risk.
Liu Wuxie soon tore through a gap in the encirclement and rejoined them. However, their pursuers were relentless. They closed in on them fast, surrounding them from every direction. No matter which way he turned, there was no exit.
There was only one option left. They had to head deeper into the forest. Escape was out of the question. Cultivators from the Eastern Domain were swarming the outer region.
To make matters worse, Heaven Profound Realm experts had arrived. With their divine senses, they could scan half of Ghosthead Mountain in an instant. Evading them would be nearly impossible unless Liu Wuxie burrowed underground.
Fiery growled lowly and paced with unease, unsure of what to do.
