865 Ch 865: LORD's Awakening (1)
Deep inside the Cloudsmoke Forest…
“Phuu!” Wen Xiang let out a deep breath, turned around to look at a beautiful girl, smiled, and said: “We finally managed to kill this damn demonic beast. What the hell is happening right now anyway? Why are the demonic beasts attacking cities all at once? Many beast hoards have already destroyed many cities and this is still continuing. When, exactly when will this destruction end?”
The beautiful girl’s name was Xiao Ling. She sighed and said: “We have received the news from the Great Xia Empire, and it seemed that Beast Hoards are not only running rampages in our country but also in the Great Xia Empire. It is just that Great Xia Empire has many powerful experts that they are able to hold on to. Maybe, everything is related to those meteorites. Those meteorites are the ones that are causing so much trouble. And they must be the reason why so many Beast Hoards have destroyed so many cities.”
“Maybe you are right!” Wen Xiang nodded his head and looked at his attire. His clothes were all stained with blood now.
While Wen Xiang and Xiao Ling were still talking, a monstrous pressure suddenly descended on them. Xiao Ling was slightly weaker than Wen Xiang and was unable to endure this kind of pressure for long. She started feeling as if she can’t breathe.
Only Wen Xiang was able to resist.
At this time, Wen Xiang naturally hid Xiao Ling behind him and took out a sword hidden in his spatial ring. Then he looked at his surroundings and saw a middle-aged man standing not far away from them. What was different about this middle-aged man was that he had two horns growing out from his forehead. Moreover, he actually had four hands. This shocked the two of them greatly.
“You still want to struggle? You are really reckless!” When that horned figure saw Wen Xiang taking out his Sword, he sneered and said with mockery on his face.
In the next moment, he extended his hand and grabbed at the air, instantly releasing a terrifying pressure on Wen Xiang.
Facing this attack, Wen Xiang’s expression was also cold. He agilely moved the sword in his hand, and immediately, a ray of sword light shot out towards the incoming attack.
“Clang!!”
After this sword attack, a metallic sound echoed and Wen Xiang was sent flying as he spurted out a mouthful of blood. Wen Xiang suddenly had a bad feeling. He looked at the sword in his hand that actually shattered after their collision. That horned figure’s power could no longer be described with words.
“Hey!” Seeing Wen Xiang still alive, that horned figure let out a light gasp of surprise. Although he did not use his full strength, this attack was still something that even Martial Ancestor could not withstand, let alone a Peak Martial Emperor like Wen Xiang.
“Who are you exactly?” Wen Xiang stood up after a slight struggle and asked.
“You don’t have the right to know about me!” That figure smiled evilly and said. Then he continued: “Stop struggling! Both of you will die today!”
As he spoke, he attacked again. This time, he used slightly more than half of his strength and did not hold back in the slightest. Peak Martial Ancestor’s aura burst out of his body, converging into violent waves and spreading everywhere, as if he was going to crush everything.
Facing this horned man, Wen Xiang also felt an unprecedented sense of danger. The violent aura on the horned figure’s body in his eyes continued to grow bigger, causing him to be blown back once again.
“Since that’s the case, let’s do it!” A trace of coldness flashed past Wen Xiang’s eyes, and then, he took out another sword and slashed across the air.
“Burning Heaven Sword!” In the instant that Wen Xiang shouted out, the sword body of the sword was lit ablaze by the flames wrapped with spirit energy, forming a powerful sword intent.
This sword strike seemed to come from the sky that landed on earth, turning the altitude of three hundred meters into a sea of fire. From the sea of fire, an immense amount of Spirit Energy howling out, converging onto Wen Xiang’s sword moves, making them even harder to defend against.
“Boom!”
Finally, after waiting for a short while, the two powerful attacks clashed with each other, creating an endless number of shockwaves that collided and caused the aftermath to be chaotic.
“Hu!” After Wen Xiang used this move, his body also collapsed, and he found it hard to continue.
Just a single sword strike had drained almost all the spirit energy within his body, leaving him in a weakened state and no longer able to fight.
And as for the price, the final result was that he blocked the opponent’s attack. Thinking of that, Wen Xiang could not help but reveal a bitter smile.
The difference between the two of them is too great. Even with his strongest strength, he was only able to barely defend against the enemy’s attack. Moreover, only he knew that his internal organs have all been greatly injured. And if he continued to fight in this state, he’ll definitely die. So, he has to think of ways to escape from this place.
“Kid, you’re not bad indeed. Unfortunately, this is the end!” That horned man was also extremely surprised that Wen Xiang was not killed by his fist, but after looking at Wen Xiang’s current state, he also came to a realization.
Wen Xiang had most likely used some kind of secret technique to block this punch, but it was still nothing to worry about. Wen Xiang’s current aura was extremely sluggish and he no longer had any tricks up his sleeves.
“Grandfather, we are here. Come and help us kill this man.” Suddenly, Wen Xiang seemed to have found a chance of survival behind the horned man and shouted to the front.
Hearing Wen Xiang’s words, the horned man was startled, his heart had a bad feeling.
Wen Xiang was so strong even though he was so much weaker than him. Then his Grandfather must be a powerful expert. If his grandfather is to arrive, he would be in great danger. Thus, he could not help but look back, only to realize that there is no one behind him. He immediately turned around, wanting to vent all his anger on Wen Xiang.
However, since Wen Xiang was using a trick to trick him into turning his head around, how could he possibly wait for him to react? The instant he turned around, Wen Xiang flew away with the help of Xiao Ling.
By the time the horned man had reacted, he was already several thousand meters away.
“Damn human!” The horned man was deceived, he was instantly enraged. He gnashed his teeth and pounced on Wen Xiang. This time, he wanted to hack Wen Xiang into a thousand pieces.
Just like that, the three of them started to chase. When Wen Xiang saw that the other party was getting closer to him, he became even more anxious.
It was difficult for him to escape the pursuit of this strange creature with two horns. What is more, he was currently escaping with the help of Xiao Ling. It is the same as putting Xiao Ling in great danger.
For some reason, after the meteorite fell, the wall of fog disappeared from the Cloudsmoke Forest.
Currently, they were already deep inside the Cloudsmoke Forest. After fleeing for a while, Wen Xiang suddenly discovered a cave-like hole in a huge mountain in front of him and directly charged in with Xiao Ling. The moment Wen Xiang and Xiao Ling charged in, an external barrier suddenly appeared that sealed the entrance instantly, preventing others from entering.
“This… What just happened?” Wen Xiang and Xiao Ling were really surprised, for they did not expect this to happen.
The moment he and Xiao Ling entered, an incomparably strong barrier once again appeared, blocking off the horned figure who was chasing after them. The strength of the barrier was extremely shocking, even after a few punches from the horned figure, it did not budge the slightest bit.
Seeing this scene, Wen Xiang’s heart lifted, and he relaxed quite a bit.
“Looks like it’s safe for now.” Wen Xiang let out a long sigh of relief and thanked Xiao Ling for her help.
Xiao Ling also blushed a little. For a moment, her heart was a little bashful. But then she shook her head and didn’t say anything.
“Brat, do you really think you could get away after entering that place? Let me warn you, that place is not something a mortal like you could enter. If you dare to go deep inside, you’ll only be courting death. Come out right now and you might still have a chance to escape alive!”
The horned figure didn’t dare to continue punching the barrier. He seemed to have thought of something terrifying and stopped making noise. After warning Wen Xiang and Xiao Ling, he retreated and muttered in an extremely low voice: “These two fools, they actually entered that place. They are going to wake up the LORD soon. It’ll be better for me to escape before LORD wakes up. Otherwise, along with these two fools, he might swallow me as well.”
