Chapter 1372 1358: Forced Back

Zhou Yi brandished his blade and charged out.

With Flowing Wind Step, augmented by the shoes' aerial leverage and agility abilities, he swiftly overtook Guo Xiang, who had transformed into a man-wolf. The Horse-cutting Blade in his hand slashed forward with malicious intent.

A flash of fire glimmered from the blade.

Executing the Red Sun Blade Technique, each slash sent the awakened being, who could morph his body, flying away from the sword Qi.

Quickly, he realized.

The awakened ones controlled by the Mysterious Entity were significantly weaker than their natural powers, not at their peak state.

Combined with Zhou Yi's superior realm.

These manipulated puppets were not even a match for him in a single move!

After Zhou Yi cut down three of them.

The Mysterious Entity in the depths of the Peach Grove turned its attention to Zhou Yi.

In an instant.

Ten manipulated awakeners attacked Zhou Yi from all directions.

This was about the maximum the Mysterious Entity could control.

Those who hadn't eaten the peach, the Mysterious Entity couldn't easily manipulate.

Before, directly controlling Han Qin and Long Anliang must have been a huge drain.

It seemed it realized.

These two's powers were among the stronger in the group.

Zhou Yi discovered this while battling these controlled individuals; the entity seemed dormant here, and not as formidable as it appeared. Otherwise, when awakened, it would have either instantly subdued everyone or controlled them all.

But not in this scenario.

Ten people unleashed their abilities simultaneously, some forming Ice Cones, others conjuring Wind Blades, while some had physical mutations.

Without a second thought, Zhou Yi immediately activated the Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill.

Layer upon layer of golden protective barriers emerged.

His upper body skin turned coppery, like a Shaolin Temple copper man, impervious to blades!

Their attacks were instantly repelled.

Zhou Yi deftly maneuvered through the gaps between two manipulated adversaries, his left index and middle fingers together, channeling Purple Mist True Qi and Little Formless Skill simultaneously: "Shock God Finger, Awakening Thunder!"

Crack.

Like lightning storming down.

A bright electric glow flashed across his fingers, and with one thunderous point, a lightning orb exploded on the spot, blasting the two awakened beings away.

At that moment.

The commotion here finally caught the attention of everyone in the Peach Grove.

Not just the Mysterious Entity, but also the awakened ones not killed or controlled, they too were resisting.

Like Rakshasa Ghost Luo Yan.

And some formidable awakened ones still fought the Mysterious Entity's puppets.

"Interesting, fire, lightning, both awakening domains are elemental, and both are quite strong; whether following the lightning or fire path, it works... Moreover, he actually has my Jade Lotus; could he have opened the entrance?"

The Mysterious Entity sat in a straw-roofed house, eyes burning with intensity, almost eager to move this body.

Tapping its fingers lightly.

In an instant, those bleeding from seven apertures focused their gaze on Zhou Yi.

"There's another monster?"

Rakshasa Ghost looked on in astonishment, seeing Zhou Yi charge in with his blade, momentarily disbelieving his eyes.

"Well then, with someone fearless leading the charge, I'll retreat first."

Rakshasa Ghost Luo Yan smirked wryly, quietly heading to the shore, where a large snake extended its forked tongue, showing a human-like mocking grin.

"Beast, do you think I'm afraid of you?"

Rakshasa Ghost coldly laughed, as his body suddenly transformed into six black shadows, each identical, skimming across the deep pool.

He could practically float on water, not needing to step on the white lotus in the pond!

Clearly.

He had held back quite a few trump cards when he entered earlier.

Yet.

At that moment, the snake's expression was even more derisive, almost humanly mocking.

Rakshasa Ghost suddenly remembered; beside that muscular guy who charged back in with a blade, there seemed to be an awakened one who could foresee danger!

If there were no other dangers ahead, those three would surely have already escaped.

However.

They chose to return, facing the Mysterious Entity head-on, indicating... behind them lurked an even greater danger, one almost akin to death!!

Luo Yan's pupils widened, reflexively retreating from above the water.

Thud!

At this moment, a nearby white lotus suddenly reached over; though it only bit the air, the sound of petals colliding remained incredibly loud.

Luo Yan recoiled repeatedly.

Yet those gigantic white lotuses in the deep pool seemed to come alive at this moment, reaching out one after another, each white lotus attempting to engulf him.

Luo Yan dodged continuously, over dozens of times, all six shadows forced into the middle of the pool.

"What kind of monster is this... Damn, I knew I should have worn red underwear in my birth year; this calamity proves it. Shouldn't have come into these murky waters."

Luo Yan sweated coldly from his forehead.

At this moment.

Those white lotuses surrounding him stopped moving.

Just as he contemplated escape, he noticed an expanding shadow beneath the water surface where he stood.

It seemed... a massive entity was about to break the surface!

Luo Yan's pupils contracted, and he leapt high.

In the moment he leapt.

A massive monstrous fish lunged out from beneath the water.

It had neither eyes nor fins, its head the charred color of mud, covered in peculiar white lotuses!

Each white lotus opened and closed repeatedly, resembling monstrous jaws, seeking to tear him apart.

At the center of this monster's head lay a closed, larger lotus bud than the others!

With a splash.

The monster fish dove back into the water.

Luo Yan didn't fall from mid-air, levitating against the laws of physics.

But it was evident.

He struggled visibly, unable to move mid-air.

Meanwhile, beneath him, the monstrous fish surfaced partially in the deep pool, the white lotuses on its head opening and closing like gaping mouths, waiting for Luo Yan to fall in.

The snake nearby extended its forked tongue too.

At this rate.

He's as good as dead!

"Damn, who would've thought I'd stumble in this small place today..." Luo Yan thought, unwilling.

Of course.

He attributed most of it to not wearing red underwear in his birth year, causing bad luck.

"Jump down, I'll catch you!"

Suddenly.

Luo Yan heard a shout.

He turned his head and saw the companion of that muscular man who charged back in with a blade... the one who nearly got eaten by the large snake crossing the ice bridge.

"If I jump, I'll die immediately." Luo Yan felt a wave of tears.

"My ability is the air wall; jump down, and I can catch you, letting you spring back! Going back the old way is a dead end!"

Lu Chao said patiently.

Luo Yan wasn't one to hesitate; this kid indeed had the air wall ability, and he had no other options now.

"Count two-three-one, then jump!"

Lu Chao took a deep breath, then shouted, "Jump!"
