"What is in the city?" wondered Lin Feng, looking at the ancient road leading to the city. It was filled with Qi. People felt extremely good in that Qi, they all looked more carefree and happier. It was completely different from the forest they had come from, which had been cold. But could that really be a beautiful city?
Nobody thought so. But since the road was there, they followed it.
"Move!" said Lou Lan Yu. People's silhouettes flickered, only Fan Jiang didn't manage to follow, his legs too heavy.
Lin Feng stopped and looked at Fan Jiang, "If you don't feel well, you should give up."
Fan Jiang looked at Lin Feng and smiled even though he looked like he was struggling. He understood what Lin Feng meant. They were seven people, they didn't know one another, yet they had to stay together. In case of danger, nobody would care about him, they would protect themselves before protecting him.
Fan Jiang wasn't stupid. His arm had been cut off. In case of danger, they weren't going to risk their lives for him.
Lin Feng warning him, that was rather nice of him.
"Thank you. And thank you for having helped a moment before. I still want to try, though!" said Fan Jiang, smiling at Lin Feng. When the griffon had torn off his arm, Lin Feng had helped him kill it. Without Lin Feng, Fan Jiang would have died.
"It's just my duty," replied Lin Feng. He turned around and continued walking on the ancient road. They rapidly drew closer to the city.
People stopped when they arrived in front of the entrance of the city. Lou Lan Yu turned around and smiled, "Fan Jiang, how do you feel? Can we still rely on your defense spirit? Even though the city looks calm and peaceful, we don't know what awaits us there."
Fan Jiang nodded and walked forwards. He released his shield spirit and entered the city.
People behind closely followed him into the city. Mist enveloped everything. There were many streets and roads, and darkened buildings. Everyone was nervous.
"A mist city. That's a big mist palace," said Lou Lan Yu after taking a few steps. It was difficult to see the main road.
"A mist city?" Lin Feng was astonished. The Diviner had made a mist city in here? After leaving the forests, would everyone end up in this mist city?
"What does it mean?" the crowd didn't understand.
Lou Lan Yu rose up into the air. When he reached the same level as the building tops, he realized he couldn't move forwards and frowned. "It's not only a mist city, it's also forbidden to fly. We can only walk around and try to understand what we have to do."
Lou Lan Yu looked at the crowd. "Let's keep the group harmonious; otherwise, it will be very difficult to move on."
"Indeed, now, we need to stick together more than ever."
"Let's go, then. Let's see what kind of mist city this is."
The road was extremely wide. Since they couldn't fly, they had to run.
They tried many roads, but found nothing.
"There's a sound." At that moment, the crowd shivered. In the distance, some loud sounds were audible. They stopped walking. The sounds grew louder and louder. On the path, terrifying black lights appeared, and Demon intent filled the air ominously.
"Zun level beast, that's a Zun level beast."
"The black light is fire, a black fire. It's a demon lion. His demon fire is terrifying. Demon fire abstruse energy can easily kill us."
People's faces stiffened. The lion was getting closer and closer. The atmosphere became oppressive.
"Fan Jiang, shield, protect us!" shouted Lou Lan Yu. Fan Jiang's face stiffened. However, his shield spirit still moved forwards and grew bigger and bigger, turning into a gigantic shield. The demon lion was getting closer and closer and showing its claws. Cracking sounds could be heard as the shield spirit began to shatter.
"Let's go!" Lou Lan Yu shouted furiously. He turned around and started running. The others turned around without the least hesitation and abandoned Fan Jiang.
"No…" Fan Jiang released pure Qi and condensed his shield again. With the strength of the seventh Tian Qi layer, he could resist that Zun level beast.
However, the demon lion continued advancing and destroyed his shield. Fan Jiang looked desperate. However, at that moment, a strong wind started blowing. Fan Jiang sensed a strong wind carry him backwards, he had cold sweat. He turned around and saw Lin Feng as his heart pounded.
"Thank you…" Fan Jiang looked confused. He had almost died, and the others had abandoned him.
The demon lion continued running. Lin Feng was really quick, and rapidly caught up with the others.
"What are you doing?" They were all furious. Lin Feng was drawing the demon lion right to them!
"I want to kill the demon lion!" said Lin Feng indifferently. People's eyes glittered thoughtfully. If they joined hands, they could kill the lion, but the problem was, who would dare risk their life?
Fan Jiang was a perfect example, everybody had abandoned him without the least hesitation.
"Alright, let's kill him together," said Lou Lan Yu, his eyes glittering. He said, "Let's join hands. Can you still defend, Fan Jiang? We'll all join hands and kill the lion in one attack."
Fan Jiang was amazed at their gall, but Lin Feng nodded so Fan Jiang said, "Alright…"
After that, he released his spirit again. At the same time, he condensed pure Qi. Lin Feng stopped as a gigantic shield appeared in front of Fan Jiang. The air began to rumble with building energy.
The lion caught up with them and its power bore down on them. Cracks appeared on the shield. But at that time Lou Lan Yu also attacked from one side. The young man with the blade attacked from the other side.
"Cut!" A terrifying Sword intent filled the air. The Sword intent was really powerful, Lou Lan Yu had hidden his real strength before. The young man with the blade cut off the lion's legs, crippling it.
"Roar!" the demon lion roared furiously and spat out black flames.
"Condense!" It was as if time had stopped. The fire stopped and then continued moving forwards. They were all in the air above the lion, Lin Feng included. They could fly as high as the buildings were, and since lion was only half as tall, they could stay above it.
A wind sword descended from the sky and split the lion's head.
The lion exploded loudly, and then it disappeared. At the same time, two lights moved towards Lin Feng. Lin Feng raised his hand. The others were startled and stared at Lin Feng.
The lion had disappeared, nobody was worried anymore.
"Lin Feng, what was that, show us," said Lou Lan Yu, smiling at him.
"Lin Feng proposed killing the lion, and he carried out the last attack. The item is his. He doesn't need to show it to everyone," said Fan Jiang coldly.
Dazzling blade lights moved towards Lin Feng. He was startled and almost didn't have time to react. Fan Jiang turned around and looked at the young man with the blade. Then, he looked at Lin Feng and said, "Lin Feng, you have to-"
Lou Lan Yu's sword lights shot towards Fan Jiang. Fan Jiang disappeared.
"Piss off, everybody else," said the young man with the blade. He and Lou Lan Yu rose up into the air at the same time. They were both staring at Lin Feng.
What a surprise. The two cultivators had hidden their cultivation level, of course.
They know one another from outside, thought the crowd. They all pulled long faces. Someone asked, "You two are really strong, why did you want us to stay with you?"
"As a plan B. How could we know what we were going to bump into on the way?" replied Lou Lan Yu, smiling coldly.
"I wouldn't have thought that beast could have such great treasures. If we had known that earlier, we would have attacked already!" agreed the other one. They both knew one another, and were fellow disciples. They hadn't even given their real names!
