Chapter 802: Chapter 457: No Time to Waste
...
During these four days, they waited for the three Saints to break through, and no one appeared in the room; no one managed to pass through the tunnel, which made Yan Xiaobao breathe a sigh of relief. If half of the Saints had already passed them, he would feel frustrated, but considering he was sure only two groups had passed them, he didn’t feel too regretful.
Although Yan Xiaobao followed his own thoughts, he suddenly heard a loud banging sound, and his eyes were drawn to three experts. One of them radiated a golden hue from his body. The golden hue was martial power, which covered the whole body before it slowly slipped into his skin and merged into his body. Although it was absorbed, Wu Wei continued to glow, making his entire body look like a golden statue. The light slowly dimmed and then returned to its normal color.
After Wu Wei’s last trace disappeared, expert Zhu Jun opened his eyes, a faint golden light flashing. He was no longer just a star Saint but advanced. The power he gained was immense. Although he couldn’t be considered the cream of the crop, he was no longer a weak Saint. Thanks to the golden pill, his power increased more than double, and with the help of the white pill, he also managed to stabilize his cultivation foundation better than ever. He became stronger in every aspect.
After another half day, Ye Ling managed to break through, and a few hours later, Luo Qiang also broke through. Watching these three men and feeling the energy ripples from their bodies, Yan Xiaobao nodded in satisfaction.
"We have no time to waste," he said in a determined voice, though he didn’t complain about the time they spent cultivating their power. "We’re lagging behind the leaders, and thus, I believe they have already gathered quite a bit of treasure. Just the same, attack must come first, but stay alert. Anyone in the tomb is our enemy, even if they’re from our Kingdom. This is survival of the fittest; the strong Saints prevail, and the weak will die or be trampled on. I don’t want any of us to become someone else’s stepping stone, so please remain vigilant."
"I’m quite certain that the second band of fools, the noisy ones, is planning to ambush us. It’s the only explanation for why they’d choose to steal from another batch of pills and allow us to take pillar after pillar. Because they dared to oppose us, we must act without hesitation when we meet them. Kill first, ask questions later. If not, we will be the dead ones," he said, his voice harsh and eyes cold.
Hearing Yan Xiaobao’s words, Ye Ling, Luo Qiang, and Zhu Jun felt a little nervous, but the feeling quickly faded. They were no longer as simple and weak as they were days ago. They had entered the ranks of ordinary Saints, and they were not as easy to handle as before. Their confidence had soared to the heavens. They could feel the depth of their newly discovered power more than anyone else.
"That’s right," Yan Xiaobao grinned when he saw the confidence in their eyes. "That group has a Four-star expert, but we’ll leave him to Xiao Ning, and the others are two or three stars at most, you won’t fall behind them. Just fight for your own heart. We’ll be fine for the sake of killing," Yan Xiaobao said, and at the mention of Xiao Ning, the old man almost snorted. It was clear he would be doing most of the work.
"Don’t worry; I’ll be their target. They are most likely to eliminate the weakest first. Not because I’ll be the easiest target, but because they think I hold the most precious treasure. It seems everyone will see that the reason for coveting others’ treasures is to not value their own lives," Yan Xiaobao grinned, and the others nodded in agreement.
"When you attack them, I want you to try something," Lan Feng suddenly said from the Lower Dantian. His voice hesitant but full of hope. Hearing this, Yan Xiaobao was curious about what happened, so he waited for the bird to continue. Seeing Yan Xiaobao deep in thought, no one interrupted him. All his new friends patiently waited for him, as he knew he might be thinking about something very important. When they suddenly felt a strange sense of danger coming from him, their assumptions proved correct. There was no energy ripple, no sign of him increasing his rank, they only felt the air around him growing turbulent. It was as if some invisible force was compressing all the air around, twisting and turning it, although oddly there was no energy causing this effect.
With both of his hands placed opposite each other, Yan Xiaobao’s eyes were open and focused. A red fog slowly emerged in one palm, while a blue cloud of mist appeared in the other. These two small energy streams exploded forward, causing shockwaves to spread throughout the room, but the shockwaves couldn’t penetrate the turbulent air around him. Yan Xiaobao forced the two energies together, slowly pushing them closer to each other.
The moment the red and blue energies touched, a loud roar exploded outward. A wave of heat triggered a shockwave that swept the newly advanced two-star Saints off their feet, even Xiao Ning was overwhelmed. Yan Xiaobao staggered back a few steps, a trickle of blood flowing from his mouth, but his eyes remained as focused on the energy as before. He clearly saw the stubbornness in his eyes.
