Chapter 320: Chapter 285: Nether Spirit Race

"What are you all waiting for? Quickly extend your hands!"

The speaker was none other than the only late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator among the crowd, Guiyun Wanderer.

This man hailed from Pingding Mountain and was renowned for his expertise in ghost-controlling techniques, making him the most famous demonic path wanderer in Wei Country.

He usually comes and goes like the wind, rarely interacting with the various sects.

But now, for some unknown reason, he took the initiative to find Wan Tianming from Jiulian Mountain, willing to enter the Nether Abyss to resist the Nether Spirit Race.

His strength is formidable, and it is rumored that he has a Golden Core Stage Ghost General under his command, making him unmatched among Wei Country’s Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Hence, even among the entire team, people like Muu Qingyu and Yang Shulin treated him as a peer.

As soon as Guiyun Wanderer finished speaking, the other Foundation Establishment cultivators promptly took action.

In an instant, flying swords, talismans, and various magical artifacts flew out from the shield, joining the action to slaughter the Nether Fire Crows.

Zhang Shaoyang also summoned a flying sword to join the fray.

The flying sword he wielded was a top-grade magical artifact found from the Lei Family.

It was solidified with the Thunder-attracting skill and could emit a large amount of lightning when controlled, greatly damaging the Nether Fire Crows.

He considered this encounter a training exercise, so he was very diligent.

With both hands making gestures, he controlled the flying sword to flip up and down, quickly slaying a Nether Fire Crow.

Compared to the cultivators’ attack methods, the Nether Fire Crows had only two attack methods: spitting Nether Fire and their physical bodies, which were quite limited.

Under the joint effort of more than ten cultivators, over half of the Nether Fire Crows were quickly killed.

On the cultivators’ side, surprisingly, not a single person was injured.

This was all thanks to Elder Yang Shulin, who used his magical treasure to protect everyone.

Otherwise, simply relying on these ten-odd Foundation Establishment cultivators, encountering the Nether Fire Crows could very likely lead to total annihilation.

Zhang Shaoyang was fully committed to resisting the Nether Fire Crows, while Zheng Yi used this opportunity to observe the attack methods of several cultivators.

The foremost among them was, of course, the strongest Wan Tianming!

He stood with hands behind his back, a dense swarm of Nine Yang Linked Needles surrounded and slew three Golden Core Stage Nether Fire Crows like a torrential rain.

Each attack lifted a large amount of feathers and dark blue blood, making it impossible for the three Nether Fire Crows to escape.

As for these three Nether Fire Crows, they were screeching loudly while emitting a large amount of viscous black flames, trying to repel the Nine Yang Linked Needles.

Unfortunately, these Nine Yang Linked Needles were refined by Wan Tianming from extremely firm and pure yang materials, making them most effective against demonic entities.

Facing the Nether Fire spewed by the Nether Fire Crows, they remained undamaged and continuously broke their protective magical shields.

"Caw~"

"Caw caw~!"

The three Nether Fire Crows kept screeching miserably, having no choice but to rely on their strong bodies to resist.

At the same time, their sturdy claws danced incessantly, crushing one Nine Yang Linked Needle after another.

But even so, they couldn’t escape the siege of the Nine Yang Linked Needles.

Compared to Wan Tianming, the performance of the other three Golden Core cultivators was much inferior, clearly lacking Wan Tianming’s strength, barely engaging in battle with one Nether Fire Crow.

Of course, this does not rule out the possibility that someone deliberately hid their strength.

In Zheng Yi’s view, if any of these three Golden Core cultivators entered their Profound Cyan Realm, they could immediately sweep the entire realm, establishing a vast sect or power.

The two can’t be compared by any means.

It seems this is the manifestation of the fateful ’interdependence of blessing and misfortune.’

Thought Zheng Yi.

Normally, it would be impossible for so many Nether Fire Crows to appear at the entrance of the Nether Abyss.

But after Zheng Yi chose the fate of ’interdependence of blessing and misfortune,’ shortly afterward, a large flock of Nether Fire Crows appeared, attacking them.

Calling this an accident, he himself wouldn’t believe it.

It seems Wan Tianming and the others were also set up by Zhang Shaoyang, or perhaps Zheng Yi.

"Hmm~?"

At this moment, Zheng Yi suddenly noticed a figure appearing among the Nether Fire Crows.

"Caw...!!!"

Meanwhile, an ear-piercing raven shriek came from the crow flock.

An immediately visible sound wave rushed to the front of everyone at an extremely fast speed.

"Buzz...!"

Yang Shulin, who controlled the defensive magical artifact, shuddered, but quickly recovered, his face turned extremely grim.

Even though it lasted only a moment, he lost connection with his magical treasure ’Jade Treasure Leaf’ in that moment.

And using just that moment, a group of Nether Fire Crows charged forward without regard for their lives.

Simultaneously, streams of Nether Fire rushed towards people like Zhang Shaoyang.

Even in Wan Tianming’s direction, a shadow transformed into lightning, charging fiercely forward.

Vaguely, it seemed to be a humanoid figure.

Nether Spirit Race!!!

Wan Tianming reached out and grabbed, sending another Nine Yang Linked Needle shooting towards the shadow, but it effortlessly dodged.

"An accident? Or a conspiracy?"

Wan Tianming’s thoughts turned quickly, knowing this wasn’t the time to ponder, while controlling the Nine Yang Linked Needles to protect himself, he immediately said:

"Everyone scatter and regroup at Nether Abyss City!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he waved his hand, and at least a hundred Nine Yang Linked Needles shot towards many Nether Fire Crows, leaving trails of meteor showers in the sky.

"Puff!"

"Puff puff!"

Several Nether Fire Crows failed to evade, their bodies pierced through, screaming as they fell.

Even the humanoid shadow had to retreat into the Nether Fire Crow flock.

Meanwhile, Wan Tianming reached out and aggressively grabbed towards the three trapped Nether Fire Crows.

"Bang!"

"Bang bang bang...!"

In the blink of an eye, the Nine Yang Linked Needles surrounding the three Nether Fire Crows exploded violently.

Dense Pure Yang Flames and refined gold fragments burst out, tearing the bodies of these three Nether Fire Crows into pieces under the power of the shockwave.

After completing all this, Wan Tianming turned and ran.

The remaining cultivators had already dispersed, fleeing for their lives.

"Chase...leave none alive!"

A hoarse and somewhat cold voice came from among the Nether Fire Crow flock, as a pitch-black silhouette floated in mid-air, issuing a command.

The dense swarm of Nether Fire Crows flapped their wings, pursuing the fleeing cultivators.

"Young master...! There are four Golden Core cultivators here, should we pursue?"

Several shadows appeared behind the dark figure again, their tone sinister.

"Of course, we’ll pursue!"

The dark figure said coldly, "I’ve finally made it through the space rift to the Canglan Realm, I must accomplish something big."

"The cultivator controlling the needles just now has quite good strength, especially those needles..."

"Capture him within an incense burning time, I want to devour him personally!"

"Yes!"

In an instant, several shadows transformed into streaks of light, chasing after Wan Tianming and the others.

The dark figure, meanwhile, turned to look in the direction of the fleeing Foundation Establishment cultivators.

"How strange..."

"Among these Canglan human juniors earlier, there was surprisingly a Divine Thought capable of noticing me."

"Such strong Divine Thought... is it due to extraordinary talent, or powerful cultivation technique."

"Or perhaps... carrying an exotic treasure?"
