Chapter 45: Under Attack
Li Lang looked around in confusion as he stayed on all fours. The ground below him continued to tremble, and the purple fog that was engulfing the entire coliseum was adding to the chaos.
Thankfully, the shaking soon stopped. Numerous disciples cried out in panic throughout the venue, but Li Lang decided to chase after Ling Xue.
What is she up to…Everyone was in a panic but she was running with a purpose in mind. Is there somewhere safe to weather the storm?
Li Lang’s curiosity won over him as he searched for the two most talented disciples of their generation. Visibility was severely limited, even when he tried to enhance his vision with Qi. It wasn’t just any ordinary fog as it blocked Qi senses, too.
Many other people were running around in the haze and just when Li Lang was pushed to the side by one of the panicking disciples, a loud explosion rang out from above.
It cleared away some of the smoke above, revealing several sect elders and deacons, locking swords with unfamiliar cultivators.
Each unknown assailant wore fully black attire that even covered their face and hair. Only their eyes peeked out, but it was unmistakable that they were all at least in the Foundation Establishment realm as they flew around and held their own against the party from Spirit Grove.
“Despicable demonic cultivators, how dare you invade our sect? You all court death!” An elderly man in olive-green robes shouted.
The men in black didn’t bother to respond and continued their attack. Seeing the intruders’ silence, the elder turned to his comrades.
“Spirit Grove! We will not yield to these cowardly invaders. Now is the time to show your loyalty to the sect and eliminate these evildoers! They will all surely perish once our grand formation starts up!”
“Great Strike of the Forest!”
“Mystic Serpent Slash!”
