Chapter 549 548: Surrounded
4,900 zhang!!
An unprecedented Great Fiend descended from the Cloud Sea. Surging Evil Qi formed shockwaves, spreading in every direction like the waves of a raging sea.
A Great Fiend of this magnitude instantly stunned everyone present!
Sima Yu, who was in the middle of fighting a Great Fiend, saw the new arrival, and his pupils shrank. He swallowed hard, his eyes filled with terror. 'Dammit, I completely miscalculated.'
'Who could have possibly expected that another Great Fiend like this was lurking in the Cloud Sea!'
Moreover, this Great Fiend's body was black and white, possessing the characteristics of both Yin Evil and Yang Evil. Its aura was so powerful it far surpassed that of an Era-Defining King!
"Damn it. This Great Fiend must be the Chief of the Tribe."
"Wielding both Yin and Yang Evil Qi... If I remember correctly, not even the Yin Yang Evil Spirit Tribe discovered 180 years ago had a creature like this. This was a grave miscalculation."
"What in the world has happened in these Slaughter Ruins for a Great Fiend of this level to appear? With our strength, how can we possibly stand against it?"
"A Half-Venerable! This is definitely a monster on par with a Half-Venerable!"
Sima Yu took a deep breath and turned, roaring, "Everyone, retreat now!"
The moment he spoke, no one dared to linger, and they all began to retreat from the basin.
But the Great Fiend's fiery pupils flickered. Suddenly, its two giant claws shot out and clenched at the empty air. A grayish-white fireball and a mass of black, frigid air instantly condensed, and the fiend tossed them out as if they were mere pebbles.
The hundred-zhang-wide fireball and mass of frigid air smashed into the ground not far from several Kings. With a deafening BOOM, a sea of fire and a wave of frost rolled out. In their wake, the earth was left either scorched black or frozen solid.
Those Kings were annihilated without even a chance to scream!
Hiss...
Everyone who witnessed this sucked in a sharp breath.
'Such terrifying power... and that was just a casual blow from the Great Fiend!'
'A Giant Fiend... To think the Yin Yang Evil Spirit Tribe actually had a Giant Fiend presiding over it, hidden in the sea of Evil Qi this whole time. No wonder we never found it.'
Sima Yu's expression was grim. He roared, "Qin Ya, Yun Feng, Zhang Ren! Help me hold this Giant Fiend off! Buy the others time!"
The men he called were the strongest among the group.
Hearing this, Qin Ya didn't hesitate. After telling Bi Xiaoyu to leave first, he hefted Breaking Army, and his figure blurred. He shot toward the Giant Fiend and struck out with his palm.
The Destruction Palm Qi slammed into the Giant Fiend's knee, causing its massive form to falter for a moment. Its enormous eyes turned toward Qin Ya, the flames within them flickering. Suddenly, it shot out two beams of energy—one of Flame, one of frigid air.
These two attacks were in no way weaker than its previous one. Qin Ya dared not be careless. His figure flickered as he activated Mysterious Speed and Shrinking Inches, crossing over a thousand zhang in the blink of an eye to narrowly dodge the assault.
BZZZT...
A humming sound echoed between heaven and earth. Immediately after, an ultimate, pure-white blade of light cleaved a mountain in two and slashed directly at the Giant Fiend's head.
"ROAR."
The Giant Fiend raised its claw. Grayish-white flame and frigid air roiled between its fingers as it swiped out, grabbing at the Blade Qi. In that instant, blood sprayed forth.
The Blade Qi carved a bloody gash across the massive claw. The sheer force of the blow sent the Giant Fiend stumbling back several steps, and a ferocious, evil aura erupted from its body.
Qin Ya looked into the distance and saw a middle-aged man in a black robe with a scruffy face standing on a shattered mountain peak. He had a War Saber propped on his shoulder, looking incredibly imposing.
This man was none other than the Gang Leader of the main city's Cyan Dragon Gang... Yun Feng!
'So strong! He's not the slightest bit weaker than Dongmen Gu!'
A flash of surprise crossed Qin Ya's eyes. Then, high in the sky, another astonishing power began to gather. A terrifying pillar of energy, wrapped in gale-force winds and torrential rain, suddenly blasted toward the Giant Fiend's head. "Haha, Zhang Ren has arrived!!"
As his arrogant words rang out, the Giant Fiend's head was forcefully blasted downward. The terrifying impact traveled through the Giant Fiend into the ground, sending out ripples of dust in all directions like waves on a lake.
"ROAR!!"
Provoked one time after another, the Giant Fiend tilted its head back and let out a long howl. It condensed a ball of frigid air in its left hand and a fireball in its right, then hurled them toward Zhang Ren and Yun Feng.
The two of them blurred, dodging the attack like streaks of Flowing Light.
"Damn, this thing is tough. My Blade Qi only left a scratch on its palm," Yun Feng said nonchalantly.
Zhang Ren, dressed in a magnificent brocade robe, pursed his lips and said, "You actually have the gall to embarrass yourself with that pathetic little wisp of Blade Qi? You should know, this thing even withstood my Wind and Rain Fall Together. Tsk tsk, it's a real handful."
Yun Feng raised an eyebrow. "You looking for a fight?"
"Hmph. Bring it on. Who's afraid of who?"
At that moment, Sima Yu walked over and said to the two of them, "Gentlemen, we're currently facing a Giant Fiend. Perhaps we should focus on how to deal with it first."
"How else? We fight it head-on," Yun Feng said, his War Saber propped on his shoulder.
As he spoke, he kicked off the ground and shot into the sky. His War Saber gathered a pure-white Divine Light that shook the void, and he brought it down with a slash that seemed capable of splitting the heavens and the earth.
"You don't say."
Zhang Ren smirked and followed close behind. A brilliant Divine Light burst from his body as a fierce wind began to swirl, mixed with droplets of rain.
"Qin Ya, let's go too."
"Mm."
With that, Qin Ya charged forward. Mysterious principles manifested around him as his True Essence erupted, condensing into a Four Symbols Dharma Aspect that was hundreds of zhang tall. He then gathered Natural Energy, forming an iridescent four-colored sphere of light, and forcefully pushed it forward.
The four-colored sphere shot through the void like a meteor, smashing into the Giant Fiend's jaw. It drew a huge splash of blood and knocked the creature's massive body backward.
"Ha! As expected of the young prodigy who killed Dongmen Gu! That move really packed a punch! Now, watch me! Mysterious Technique... Sea-Cutting Mountain-Slaying!"
Yun Feng laughed heartily as his figure soared high into the air. He gripped his saber hilt with both hands as Divine Light erupted from his body, condensing into a massive saber projection above the blade!
The saber projection slashed directly down at the Giant Fiend's head, carving out a huge spray of blood mist.
Not to be outdone, Sima Yu and Zhang Ren also unleashed their own techniques. Wind and rain coalesced into streams of Palm Qi, while a brilliant Sword Aura shone in all directions.
Violent fluctuations of energy erupted continuously, and the Giant Fiend began to look battered.
But the group felt no joy, because despite the intensity of their attacks, they were still unable to inflict any true harm on the Giant Fiend.
At most, they were inflicting superficial wounds.
"ROAR!!"
As if enraged, the Giant Fiend let out a sudden, long howl. The Evil Qi around its body began to boil as Flame and frigid air spread out continuously, instantly blanketing an area of over ten thousand zhang.
Sima Yu and the others quickly activated Divine Light Protection, while Qin Ya enveloped himself with his Four Symbols Dharma Aspect, so they were not afraid.
"ROAR." "ROAR..."
Just then, a continuous series of ferocious roars echoed from all around.
