Chapter 663 Ganging Up
Still, Cain didn’t lose his composure. He continued to ask, “And? Just where exactly are we on this planet? Does this region belong to the Astral Demons?”
“Well, not exactly.” Zexi began to slowly explain. “You see, this vast plain of land is called the Starfall Wasteland. And this entire region is controlled by the three surrounding Holy Lands. One of them is the Divine Astral Holy Land, where the Astral Demons come from. Another is the Lightning Wind Holy Land, where we come from. And the last is Moon Order Holy Land, that’s where most humans come from. Disciples like us mainly come to the Starfall Wasteland for experience and furthering our Divine Laws. We’re in brutal competition with each other every day.”
At this point, Lao Heng sighed with a mixed expression. Unsure whether to be grateful or full of bitter resentment. “Even special people like me can end up in such shitty situations without any help from our sect. It truly is a land where we need to save our own asses or die. That’s why, even with brother Cain’s extreme powers, we’ll absolutely need to avoid the Divine Decree Lords here.”
“Oh?” Cain showed a genuinely puzzled expression. “They would send even Divine Decree talents out here where death is possible?”
“Of course they would. Everyone in the Central Starfield is so…intense, for a lack of a better word.” Zexi nearly scoffed.
Shaking her head, her expression turned grave as she continue to say, “But junior brother Lao isn’t wrong. Divine Astral Master Hui and Moon Order Master Tu are completely terrifying. Among late stage Holy King masters, they practically have no equal. Even the oldest ancestor can’t take these two down! Master Hui’s body hasn’t been scratched once. And nobody wants to take on the force of Master Tu’s moon. Truly, it would be much more simpler to just avoid those two.”
“I see…” Cain’s tone was completely indifferent. Though, a faint surge for battle sparked within him.
Ever since he finished wiping off the slave camp, his injuries were practically completely healed!
The surge for battle spurred on Cain’s dragon god abilities at its highest rate. His regeneration already brought him back to the point where he’ll be able to easily crush Master Shui and Yao at the same time.
Even without his Dragon Swift Blade, Cain had full confidence in facing a late stage Holy King master. Even if he couldn’t defeat the talents, exchanging moves and escaping was completely possible.
After that brief introduction to the current situation, the trio’s talk turned much lighter.
Cain managed to learn some intriguing things about the Lightning Wind Holy Land and the duo. Though, he was more interested in knowing more about Zexi than Lao Heng.
Zexi nearly reminded Cain of Yulong in a way. They both were charming and brightly bubbly. Though, their difference comes in the fact that Zexi was far more causal and blunt than Yulong.
Zexi simply didn’t grow up in the environment of high-class young masters. Thus, she has her own special brand of air of being a divine maiden. One that made it easy to be natural around her, relaxed even.
Their brief flight went along quite well. That is until they got near the Lightning Wind base.
Cain, Zexi, and Lao Heng’s Divine Senses detected a tremendous disturbance. Rippling divine law shockwaves that crushed apart space and twist apart any lower level laws.
Divine Rulers would be crushed into mincemeat by the slightest touch of shockwaves. Even ordinary early stage Holy King would vomit out mouthfuls of blood if hit by the shockwave full force!
Zexi and Lao Heng completely froze. They were suppressed down to their souls.
Cain indifferently waved his hand. A faint lightning-ice barrier shrouded the duo, dispersing the law suppression.
Zexi and Lao Heng blinked. Their horror and confusion were replaced by fury and killing intent!
“Those shits really are banding together?!” Lao Heng viciously cursed out.
“Heh, hahahaa!!” Zexi erupted in disdaining laughter. “Of course rats need to band together to not get crushed. Jumping up is the only thing they’re good at!”
Compared to the fury boiling out of the duo, Cain calmly pierced his gaze through space to obverse a despairing scene.
Two middle stage Holy King masters majestically floated within an area of crushed space. Their holy lights drowned out all colors. They looked down on everything with supreme arrogance.
Their dual divine laws seemed utterly invincible.
One of them was a suffocating Astral Demon. Every strand of his Astral essence continually produced ear-shattering booms. In his hand was a gleaming, silver Warhammer that glimmered with pulsating law runes.
Just a glance at the silver Warhammer would crush souls into pieces.
While the other middle stage master was a mystical moon order Holy King master. His divine water laws seemed utterly unbreakable. Not a single a force in the world can even make the slightest ripple.
Within his hand was a terrifying, divine water sword. Every law rune shimmering on the divine water sword easily suppressed space.
These Holy King masters’ overwhelming momentum suffocated the Lightning Roc cultivator below them.
Beautiful lightning roc wings grew out of the Holy King master. But blood was splattered all across his feathers. His holy lights were greatly dimmed and the Saint Sword within his hand was chipped all over.
The situation was clear as day for anyone to see. Fate almost seemed determined for the Roc Holy King master.
But even so, the Roc Holy King stared up at death with a determined expression.
“Are you two going to keep wasting time? Or are you actually going to grow some balls and kill me?!”
“Tch.” The Astral Demon coldly sneered. “Don’t even try such bullshit tactic on us. You know, we can spare your pathetic life, right? Just tell us where the divine spirit’s golden blood is and stop wasting our time!”
The Moon Order master similarly sneered. “You’re delaying the inevitable in any case that for even a second, you minor Lightning Rocs think you could ever compare to us?! Submission will at least allow you to keep your lives.”
Their words could not be ignored. Even with the most courage in existence, the Roc Holy King furrowed his brows.
It was hard for him to retort at all. All words said weren’t necessarily a total lie.
Even Zexi and Lao Heng turned silent at their words. But they were quick to throw the issue out of their minds and focus on current problems.
Zexi murmured to herself, “Perhaps there’s a way to save his life. Those two seem pretty desperate to get their hands on the blood.”
Lao Heng was about to speak up in agreement.
But at this time, Cain curled his brows. “What are you two thinking so hard for? It’s as simple as this.”
Zexi and Lao Heng’s eyes jumped up. Their souls began to quiver, feeling a fear they could not describe.
Cain merely took a glance at the Astral Demon and Moon Order master. All his cultivation arts furiously revolved. Glimmers of lightning-ice emitted out of his eyes like the rays of a dazzling star.
His presence instantly suppressed the worldly laws!𝒐𝔳𝗅xt.𝗰𝓞𝓂
His fist clenched up, space twisting apart around it. World-shattering explosions tore apart the sky as Cain violently punched out two streams of lightning-ice laws!
Everything was drowned out by the laws’ luminous shine. All rays of holy light quivered before instantly dispersing into nothingness!
