In the vast, boundless, and brown wilderness, two figures were speeding across it like streams of light.
Li Fuchen noticed that every two hours, the blood skull mark on his body would suddenly lit up. Once it lit up, his qi blood would be consumed at an increased rate of 100 times. At the same moment, an ambiguous wave would be emitted.
With the first experience, whenever the blood skull mark lit up, Li Fuchen would activate his spirit soul ability and did his best to hide the incantation markâs wave.
He wasnât able to hide everything, but it was better than nothing.
This wilderness was an area that was a few tens of thousands of miles and was the biggest wilderness in the Dragon River Seat. When the duo was traveling across it, they saw plenty of people that were in combat.
When they were about to exit the wilderness, Li Fuchen said, âWe have been surrounded, we can break out from this direction.â Li Fuchen changed his direction suddenly and said to Shangguan Yu.
Shangguan Yu didnât doubt him. During the past few days, he had already noticed how powerful Li Fuchenâs spiritual awareness was. It wasnât exaggerating to say that even a half-emperorâs spiritual awareness might not be as powerful as Li Fuchenâs spiritual awareness.
After rushing through several hundreds of miles, Li Fuchen changed another direction.
If one could see from the limitless skies above, one would see that the duo were surrounded with black figures. Each time Li Fuchen chose a new direction, it would be the gap between the group of shadows.
However, as the encirclement got smaller, the gaps were also smaller.
âThere are only three of them in this direction, one of them is at the 8th level of Primary Sea Realm.â Li Fuchen stated.
âLeave it to me.â Shangguan Yu revealed a confident expression.
Soon enough, the two parties met.
The opposition consisted of one black-masked man and two white-masked men.
They didnât waste any time and immediately got into combat.
âBlack Snake Palm!â
Shangguan Yuâs Black Snake Palm was extremely overbearing. He executed two palm strikes and sent one black snake qi power into each of the white-masked men with rapid speed.
Bang Bang!
There were two blood mist explosions.
âEarth class peak-tier qi power?â The black-masked man was appalled and retreated frantically.
âHeaven and Earth Extermination.â Li Fuchenâs sword locked onto the void where the enemy was at.
The sword art that contained void dao laws was too powerful. Even if he couldnât hurt the enemy, he could freeze the enemy for a split moment.
This split moment had given Shangguan Yu an opportunity.
âBlack Snake Drill!â
Shangguan Yu raised his right hand and with a twist, a massive black snake qi power burst out and it was ten times bigger than before. The void seemingly had slight loss of stability and was distorted by the black snake qi power.
âNo!â
The speed of the black snake qi power was too fast and it felt as though it took just an instant. The black-masked man didnât have time to dodge and could only raise his long saber to cleave at the black snake qi power. However, he could only utilize around 30% of his full strength on this last minute move.
Bang!
The long saber distorted and broke while the black-masked man vomited fresh blood and his body was blasted with countless blood pits.
Shangguan Yuâs Black Snake Drill turned into countless black snakes after bursting apart, the snakes then lunged at the black-masked man.
If it was like before, Shangguan Yu would definitely use the Grand Binding Rope to tie up the black-masked man. But now, he only wanted to break out and had used this Black Snake Palmâs move to blast the enemy.
âGo!â
Shangguan Yuâs body had a black halo and his speed was faster than Li Fuchen.
Soon after the duo left, a group of masked men appeared.
âThis person is extremely powerful and is at least a mid-class half-emperor.â
âHmph, even if he is a mid-class half-emperor, donât even think about escaping.â
...
For the next few days, the duo didnât encounter any more enemies. It was obvious that a certain amount of time was required to form another encirclement.
Shangguan Yu said, âAs long as we can reach the Dragon River Seatâs main city, we can use the teleportation array and teleport to the Sky Light Seatâs main city.â
The construction of teleportation arrays required spatial crystals and the number of spatial crystals determined the number of teleportation arrays.
If one had the wealth of the Red Moon Emperor or the Soul Emperor, it wouldnât be a problem to construct a teleportation array in each city. The materials to construct teleportation arrays might be precious, but it was only in regards to monarchs.
The duo moved at an extreme speed but would have the occasional rest.
Traveling at full speed consumed a lot of qi and qi power. They had to maintain themselves in their best conditions to deal with abrupt incidents.
When there was still less than half the journey left to reach the Dragon River Seatâs main city, the duo were obstructed again.
This time, they were obstructed by five individuals. Three of them were high-level monarchs and two of them were mid-level monarchs.
Furthermore, the two mid-level monarchs were 6th level monarchs and not just 4th or 5th level.
When the battle erupted, Shangguan Yu used his overwhelming strength to fight against three and all three were high-level monarchs.
Li Fuchen would have to deal with two 6th level monarchs alone.
These two 6th level monarchs were formidable and not the regular 6th level monarchs. From their moves, Li Fuchen was certain that they cultivated heaven class martial arts. However, their proficiencies werenât high and werenât able to utilize the quintessence of the heaven class martial arts.
After executing two spiritual awareness attacks, Li Fuchen took advantage of the split moment when they were frozen and engulfed them with the sword move, Heaven and Earth Extermination.
Pfff Pfff!
Apart from the parts where their bodies were protected by the artifact armor, the rest of the body parts were severed, including their heads.
âWhat?â
One of the high-level monarchs that was locked in combat with Shangguan Yu had eyes that contracted as he couldnât believe what he saw.
The Blood Sift Unionâs mid-level monarchs might have a huge gap of strength from the high-level monarchs. It was because the mid-level monarchs would only cultivate the heaven class martial arts for a short period of time and their proficiency wasnât high. High-level monarchs had been cultivating the heaven class martial arts for a much longer time and were able to utilize the quintessence of the heaven class martial arts. Their strengths were basically comparable with low-class half-emperors.
However, heaven class martial arts were still heaven class martial arts. With a certain level of proficiency, it allowed for powerful bursts of strength.
It wasnât exaggerating to say that the mid-level monarchs of the Blood Sift Union were comparable with high-level monarchs on the outside. Furthermore, Li Fuchen was merely a low-level monarch and he was actually able to kill two of their mid-level monarchs in such a short period of time. If the high-level monarch didnât see it personally, he would never believe this matter.
Shangguan Yuâs strength was very formidable and he was almost a mid-class half-emperor. With his tough defense, even mid-class half-emperors werenât able to hurt him easily.
However, these three high-level monarchs werenât normal.
The strongest among the three was probably a high-class half-emperor while the other two were a low-class half-emperor and a mid-class half-emperor.
If it was another monarch who was also a mid-class half-emperor like Shangguan Yu but didnât cultivate the body refinement as their main path, the monarch would already be dead a long time ago.
âBrother Shangguan, later on, kill that weakest monarch first.â Li Fuchen transmitted a message to Shangguan Yu.
âOkay.â
Shangguan Yu knew that Li Fuchenâs spiritual awareness attack was incredible, but he had never witnessed it first hand.
âNot good.â
That low-class half-emperor with the black-mask suddenly felt a splitting pain in his head while his body was frozen for a moment.
It was a very short moment of freeze. If Shangguan Yu was a low-class half-emperor, it wouldnât be a threat to the black-masked man.
However, Shangguan Yu was a mid-class half-emperor and also a body refinement monarch. When the Black Snake Palm was executed, a streak of black snake qi power destroyed his body.
âDamn it!â
The high-class half-emperor with the black mask was enraged. He said to the other black-masked man, âI will deal with this person, you go and kill that kid.â
