Chapitre 114: Chapter 114. Discovered!
Waves of vigorous spiritual energy rippled around them, with some even wielding majestic spiritual artifacts to protect the group. These people clearly had some understanding of this world, and after realizing there was no immediate danger, they temporarily relaxed.
Everyone scrutinized each other suspiciously, eyes filled with vigilance and hostility, resulting in a peculiar tranquility even amidst the crowd of hundreds on this giant boulder.
The silence didn't last long as the people silently dispersed towards the surroundings.
Leading a group of about twenty, a young man in a fire-red brocade robe with equally flaming red hair and a crimson flame mark on his forehead seemed like a bundle of burning flames. With him around, even the air heated up; this was a fire path expert.
"The suppression here is terrifying. It seems very likely that the thing we're looking for is here!" the young man murmured softly, his identity clearly exciting him despite his usual composure.
"Old Wu, how do you feel?" the young man asked the leading elder behind him.
This elder was the strongest in the group, originally a five-star Supreme, but upon entering this world, he succumbed to the suppression of the Heaven Supreme and the Heavenly Demon Emperor's aura, leaving his current state uncertain.
"Young Master, there is no major issue, but the suppression here is so terrifying that I can only utilize the power of my physical body," Old Wu respectfully answered.
"Only the strength of the physical body?" The young man frowned. They had explored many such worlds, but none had such monstrous suppression.
"And you all?" The young man asked the remaining group members, who mostly responded with the Heaven Linking Stage, greatly surprising him.
"Young Master, this precisely indicates that the likelihood of finding those items here is very high!" Old Wu remained calm, reasoning that if he could only use the strength of his physical body, everyone else would be similarly restricted, leveling the playing field.
Moreover, their group remained strong despite the suppression, which was promising.
"Indeed, after exploring many worlds, this one seems the most hopeful," the young man excitedly gazed at the vast land. If they found those items, his status within the clan would dramatically rise. Boldly dreaming, if he received the adult's inheritance, even the position of Young Clan Leader might be within reach.
A flame of desire burned in the young man's eyes.
Unaware of the gradually lively world, Jiang Yun was still in seclusion.
As the central energy core of the formation slowly dissipated, the power of Jiang Yun and his companions soared rapidly.
Jiang Yun saw minor changes, advancing to the later stages of the Transformation Heaven Stage, while Medusa reached the peak of the Transformation Heaven Stage, just shy of breaking through to the Heaven Linking Stage. The greatest leap was by Zi Yan, who shot from the early Integration Heaven Stage to the early Transformation Heaven Stage. Now all three possessed the power of the Transformation Heaven Stage, significantly enhancing their safety in this perilous world.
Zi Yan rejoiced, while Medusa felt somewhat stifled, being so close to regaining her Heaven Linking Stage.
After breaking through, the three immediately flew deeper into the ruins.
"Something's coming!" During the flight, Jiang Yun's keen soul power picked up something, promptly pulling Zi Yan and Medusa towards the forest below, masking their auras.
Sure enough, just as they hid, the sound of rushing wind came from the sky. A team of eight appeared, radiating fierce auras, indicating a recent deadly battle.
"People... living people!" Zi Yan and Medusa were astounded, not expecting to encounter others in this seemingly lifeless fragment of a continent.
"They're from the Great Thousand World!" Jiang Yun somberly informed the two women.
The appearance of people from the Great Thousand World here suggested that this world was not as simple as he thought. Their preparedness implied they had precise coordinates, hinting at extraordinary secrets within this world.
Excitedly, Jiang Yun shared his hypothesis with Medusa and Zi Yan, who were instantly intrigued.
"Capture them, and everything will be clear!" Medusa's domineering nature prevailed, always opting for action over words.
For once, Zi Yan did not object; among the eight, only the burly leader was at the Heaven Linking Stage, the rest were at the Transformation Heaven Stage.
"Later, I'll handle those in the Transformation Heaven Stage. Zi Yan, Medusa, you two just keep the Heaven Linking Stage occupied. Once I'm done with the rest, we'll join forces to subdue him!"
Understanding the plan's rationale, Zi Yan agreed, even though she was not entirely comfortable cooperating with Medusa.
"Don't drag me down!" Zi Yan coldly remarked, crossing her arms, her imposing chest even more prominent from the gesture.
"If you falter, I won't save you!" Medusa shot a disdainful glance at Zi Yan.
"There's no one here, did you sense wrong?" one team member whispered to the leader.
Frowning, the leader scanned the surroundings, suspecting his earlier sense was mistaken.
"Maybe I was wrong, let's move!" He nodded, turning to leave.
"Ten Thousand Thunder - Fall!" Suddenly, he turned back, unleashing vast spiritual power, sending dazzling lightning towards the forest below.
"Boom—"
"Whoosh—"
Three figures shot out from the forest: Jiang Yun and his companions.
"There are people!" The eight men glared at the trio as their leader remained wary, knowing beauty often hid danger.
"Who are you?" he asked.
"How did you detect us?" Jiang Yun curiously inquired instead.
"Instinct!" the leader replied.
"Amazing..." Jiang Yun murmured, realizing it was a fluke but learning not to underestimate anyone.
"Answer our leader, who are you?" a yellow-clad man greedily eyeing Medusa and Zi Yan demanded.
"Your gaze disgusts me," Medusa coldly declared, attacking with a roar that sent a colorful energy serpent at the eight.
"How dare you!" Furious shouts erupted as energy attacks targeted the serpent.
"Everyone, stick to the plan!" Jiang Yun instructed, flickering forward in a blur, appearing before them.
"Fiery Palm!" Heaving flames descended, met by the leader's lightning spear.
"Boom—"
The clash forced them back as Jiang Yun vanished again, reappearing before the yellow-clad man, and declared, "Sometimes, it's your eyes that bring disaster." With a palm strike, the man was killed, his storage bracelet taken.
"Fifth Brother!" In mere breaths, they were backpedaled, and one was killed, daunting the remaining.
"Kill them!" Their leader raged, immense spiritual power surging.
Against him, Medusa's nine-colored sword energy rent the air, while Zi Yan's purple crystal dragon spear attacked from behind, forcing the leader into frantic defense.
"Boss!" The remaining six, anxious seeing their leader overwhelmed by the two women, faced Jiang Yun like an unmovable mountain, his fiery presence intimidating them.
"Damn it!" the burly one snarled, blocking Jiang Yun's fire giant finger, urging, "Attack now!"
As he called out, another launched a sneak attack on Jiang Yun from behind, but Jiang Yun calmly countered with a dragon of undying flames, engulfing the five.
Calmly, he punched backward, obliterating the assailant's weapon and killing him instantly. Grabbing the fallen's storage ring, he faced the others anew.
"Kill them!"
Eight furious assailants, intercepted by Medusa's deft sword and Zi Yan's powerful spear, were quickly outmaneuvered by Jiang Yun's precision and power, leaving them confused and desperate.
