Chapter 1704 - 1703: The Show Begins
"Brother Qu, it seems the battlefield ahead is extremely intense!" Hei Wuchang remarked with a sigh.
"Indeed! In such a short time, a Mahayana Old Monster and two Unification Realm Cultivators have already fled back in disgrace! The situation up front doesn’t look optimistic! I guess we are in for a tough battle next!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.
"Brother Qu, there’s no time to lose. Give me the Xuantian Jiao Sword, Sea Snake Three Spirit Fork, and Heavenly Battle Armor just in case!" Hei Wuchang said solemnly.
"Alright." Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
With a thought, the Xuantian Jiao Sword, Sea Snake Three Spirit Fork, and Heavenly Battle Armor, all Mystic Sky Treasures, emerged from his body and swiftly landed in front of Hei Wuchang.
Hei Wuchang grabbed the three Mystic Sky Treasures without hesitation.
"Brother Hei, I’ll have to rely on you to make your move later!" Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
"Don’t worry, Brother Qu. If they dare to pass through here, I will not let a single one escape!" Hei Wuchang said, exuding a murderous aura.
"Zha Muzhen, you’re responsible for picking up any storage bags that fall to the ground. If trouble arises, the two of us will join forces to take them down!" Zhang Xiaohao ordered.
"Yes, my lord! I will complete the task, even if a single fly falls to the ground, I won’t let them leave from here!" Zha Muzhen replied respectfully.
"Since that’s the case, let’s go inside! I want to see whether the Heavenly Court is truly a step ahead or if our magic is superior!" Zhang Xiaohao said coldly, a cold glint in his eyes.
Swish swish swish!!!
In an instant, the three figures darted ahead into the floral sea arrayed before them.
As time passed, more and more powerful figures arrived from the ancient altar, each gravely wounded. Many had barely entered the floral sea before succumbing to the terrifying toxins, not even their Nascent Souls escaping, often being slain by Hei Wuchang. Zha Muzhen collected all the storage bags from their bodies.
In the blink of an eye, a month had passed.
Over this month, from the moment Zhang Xiaohao and the others entered the floral sea to now, they had killed at least three thousand people. Among them were five Mahayana Realm Old Monsters, not to mention countless Unification and Void Refinement Realm cultivators.
Having slain so many powerful figures, Zhang Xiaohao and the others naturally reaped a great amount of loot.
However, the faces of these three thousand slain cultivators were all filled with terror, as if they’d seen the world’s most fearsome monster. Each was gravely injured, with their lives already half-gone upon reaching the floral sea, where they succumbed to the toxins and the careful preparations of Zhang Xiaohao and the others without exception.
"Brother Qu, don’t you feel that something isn’t right on the battlefield ahead?" Hei Wuchang asked, his expression heavy.
At his level of cultivation, he was highly sensitive to looming dangers and naturally reacted to any irregularities.
"Yes, I feel it too. Looking at their expressions, it’s as though they’ve seen the most terrifying monster in the world! Could there really be some threat ahead that scared them so?" Zhang Xiaohao said gravely.
"Forget it, no need to overthink! We’ll deal with any challenges as they come. Since we’ve chosen to act this way, we must see it through to the end! Whatever beasts or floods lie ahead, we will surely slay them if they dare to set foot here!" Hei Wuchang declared, his murderous aura soaring.
"That’s all we can do now!" Zhang Xiaohao nodded.
"By the way, Brother Qu, how have our gains been these past days?" Hei Wuchang asked.
"Not bad! After all, the entire fortunes of Mahayana Old Monsters and Unification Realm cultivators were in our hands. Although virtually all their magic weapons were used up, just the Spirit Stones alone are a vast fortune!" Zhang Xiaohao smiled.
"Hmm? Someone’s coming! Over a hundred people, including thirteen Mahayana Realm Old Monsters! Brother Qu, be careful," Hei Wuchang said with a serious expression.
In the distance, more than a dozen rays of rainbow light shot through the sky, while over a hundred figures on the ground rushed rapidly toward them.
"Right! Be cautious, and wait until they enter the floral sea and are all poisoned before making your move!" Zhang Xiaohao instructed.
With those words, he led Zha Muzhen to quickly hide on the side.
Hei Wuchang did the same, and his body flickered into the floral sea.
As time passed, approximately a quarter of an hour later, over a hundred figures charged one after another into the floral sea, not even glimpsing what lay ahead as they rushed forward.
The thirteen Mahayana Old Monsters, initially soaring through the air, flew barely a tenth of the way before a potent toxin invaded their hearts. In less than a moment, their Spiritual Power was corroded, and their bodies went limp, one after another crashing to the ground.
Bang bang bang!!!
Thirteen crashes resounded continuously as their bodies were battered and bruised.
Before they could react, much of their Spiritual Power was corroded by the potent toxins within the floral sea, and the poison surged toward their heads, seemingly intent on fully corrupting them.
Seeing this, the thirteen Mahayana Realm Old Monsters’ faces changed drastically. Without delay, each slapped a hand to their waist storage bag, hastily swallowing a large number of Detoxification Pills into the air and frantically circulating their cultivation techniques to resist the overwhelming corrosive power within them.
As for the Unification and Void Refinement Realm cultivators, after advancing about three miles, they and their Nascent Souls were entirely corroded, leaving only storage bags on the ground.
A few breaths later, ten of the thirteen Mahayana Realm Old Monsters had perished to the violent toxins.
The remaining three, realizing the dire situation, disregarded everything, slapped their foreheads, and their Nascent Souls barely emerged before being swallowed whole by a massive maw from the sky, immediately devoured with a few crunches.
"Mahayana Realm Nascent Souls are truly delicious! Absolutely exquisite!" Hei Wuchang exclaimed.
"Enough chit-chat! Quickly help collect the storage bags on the ground! If I’m not mistaken, a large number of people may flee this way, and we might be in for a fierce battle!" Zhang Xiaohao said, his expression serious.
"Alright." Hei Wuchang nodded, joining in the gathering of storage bags.
