Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“You want to leave? Dream on!” Cultivator Zuosi sneered. Then, countless treasures appeared out of thin air with a wave of his hand. All of the treasures were Defense Ultimate Treasures and they had him in a watertight protective circle. He knew he was not their match, and so, he decided to retreat.
As a matter of fact, his Soul-shocking Bell was not even as effective as some old rags, and it would lessen his chance of escaping even further if he dragged the battle on. He had to run! The other four thought the same, too, and were steadily retreating as they battled. “The only ending for you is to die here! Brothers, let’s get out of here!” said Cultivator Zuosi ruthlessly.
Immediately, a golden ark appeared under the five of them, and then they shot out in a ray of light, disappearing into thin air. However, Yang Jing and the others were faster than them. “One sword between life and death!” Xiao Chengfeng laughed and remained standing where he was. Then, he raised his hand and pointed at one of them. His sword flew through the air and in a blink of an eye, appeared in one of the man’s chest, piercing right through it.
That man’s Primordial Spirit and flesh were being annihilated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Even at his last moments, he still could not believe that he was not able to escape Xiao Chengfeng’s attack, especially when he had so many Defense Ultimate Treasures protecting him.
Xiao Chengfeng moved on to his next target. He pointed at another man and his sword disappeared again. The man was terrified to the extent that he nearly pissed his pants. He was about to dodge the attack when he felt a stabbing pain in his chest. He looked down and saw that Xiao Chengfeng’s sword was already embedded in his chest. “Hey, Xiao Chengfeng. Leave some for us, will ya?!” said Juling Shen angrily, annoyed that Xiao Chengfeng had stolen his limelight. His body expanded and his ax fell on the rest of the men from a great height, almost like a comet falling on them. Even before the ax landed on them, Cultivator Zuosi and his two men could already feel the drowning force of the ax’s momentum.
Powerful mana poured down from the ax and shrouded Cultivator Zuosi and the others, causing their treasures to flicker and cutting off their path of escape. “This guy’s way too strong!” “Where did this group of people come from? All of them are invincible! It’s too scary!” ‘The regret in their hearts was indescribable. They wished they had never come across Xiao Chengfeng and the others. They had no one else to blame but their own rotten luck.
Suddenly, in the depths of the Mirage, a terrifying aura appeared, causing everyone’s hearts to skip a beat. Yang Jing arched his brow and said gloomily, “Five third-step Wisdom Elites are coming and they all seem to be under the control of the Mirage!”
Cultivator Zuosi was ecstatic, for the more chaotic the situation was, the easier it was for him to escape. “Let’s escape separately!” He shouted. Then, he rushed in the direction of a third-step Wisdom Elite without looking back! ‘The faces of the other two were instantly gloomy. They had been abandoned by Cultivator Zuosi, for he was the only one with the treasures that could help them get out. “Hehe, what an idiot!” said Xiao Chengfeng. He, Yang Jing, and Juling Shen gave up chasing the remaining two men and chased after Cultivator Zuosi together. They had only one goal in mind, and that was to get their hands on the treasures that could point the way out of the mirage.
It might have taken Yang Jing and the others more effort to capture Cultivator Zuosi and his brothers if they had stayed together. In fact, they might even have lasted until the group of third-step Wisdom Elites reached them. Therefore, they could not help but think that Cultivator Zuosi was courting his own death by escaping alone. The same realization must have dawned on him, for a look of despair flashed across his eyes when he saw Yang Jing and the others coming for him. “Second Brother, Third Brother, I wasn’t right in my mind just now! Only by sticking together do we have a chance of surviving! Help me!” screamed Cultivator Zuosi hysterically. “Too late.” Xiao Chengfeng and the others smirked as the distance between them and Cultivator Zuosi was rapidly shortening. Even if his brothers wanted to rescue him, it was too late. Cultivator Zuosi could not even win against one of them, let alone three of them working together. Within three seconds, his body and spirit were completely destroyed. “Let’s go!” Yang Jing took away all of Cultivator Zuosi’s items. Together with Xiao Chengfeng and Juling Shen, they went in search of the treasure that could guide them out of the Mirage. After a while, they broke through the siege of the group of third-step Wisdom Elites and there was a golden pointer in front of them, directing them out of the Mirage.
As for Cultivator Zuosi’s two brothers, they were not so lucky. It was only a matter of time before they fell under the control of the Mirage. Yang Jing and the others were very fast, and the people who were manipulated by the Mirage could not keep up with them at all. Within five minutes, they found their way out of the Mirage.
Cultivator Junjun and the others were still standing in the same spot. When they saw Yang Jing and the others come out, their expressions relaxed and they smiled. However, they retreated with a disgusted look on their faces the moment they took a step toward them. “I didn’t expect this Mirage to be so weird. It’s terrifying how you all came out with a new fetish,” said Tong Tian with shock.
Yang Jing and the others froze and quickly took off the rags that were covering their faces. They explained helplessly, “Don’t get me wrong, this is a treasure that can resist the Mirage. I wouldn’t have used it if I had a choice.” “didn’t expect you to come out so soon. I take it the trip went well?” asked Goddess Nuwa with a smile. “We were lucky to bump into Cultivator Zuosi and the others. It really saved us a lot of trouble.”
Cultivator Junjun laughed and said, “I guessed right. They’ve been keeping watch over this place to see who would fall for their trap. I sensed there was a high probability that they had a way to get out of the Mirage.” “He was a good guide,” said Xiao Chengfeng sincerely.
Cultivator Junjun’s face turned solemn and he asked, “What’s it like in the Mirage?”
Yang Jing shook his head slightly and replied, “It’s hard to say, the Mirage was so thick that we couldn’t even see our hands that were right in front of us. Moreover, we had to deal with beings who fell under the control of the Mirage. I know for sure there are five of them… No, seven of them who are three-step Wisdom Elites!” “Meaning to say that you didn’t come across the Mirage Dragon at all?” asked Cultivator Junjun. “No.” “That’s odd. Why didn’t the Mirage Dragon come out?”
Everyone was thinking the same thing, How could the Mirage Dragon, who had already woken up from its slumber, tolerate any outsiders stepping into its territory? It was only logical to think that it would have done something to wipe them out. They might not have found it as odd if the Mirage Dragon let intruders slide once or twice, but Cultivator Zuosi and his brothers had gone in and out so many times. Yet, there was still no trace of the Mirage Dragon. “After entering the Mirage, the Mirage Dragon never showed up. It only manipulated those under his control to deal with the intruders. This is completely different from the usual behavior of demons. There must be a reason,” mused Yang Jing. “The reason the Mirage Dragon didn’t appear is probably because its strongest attack comes from using the Mirage. He’s probably quite weak physically,” added Goddess Nuwa.
Xiao Chengfeng’s eyes suddenly lit up and he said, “In other words, we can kill it as long as we have a way to find its body in the Mirage!” “There’s no need to worry if we’ll fall under the control of the Mirage when we have the manure rags. That means we just need to find a way to deal with the people who’ve been manipulated by the Mirage,” said Yang Jing with a smile.
Cultivator Junjun looked at the rag and suddenly said, “I think we can do this….”
