Chapter 508: Directing Troubled Waters To The East
Translator: AstralGhost Editor: Kurisu
This was human nature!
When one was down-and-out, being unlucky alone and knowing that someone else was in the same predicament were two completely different concepts!
The two completely ignored the gangster rabbits around them as they directly fought with each other.
“Ji-ji!”
A tall rabbit hopped over, looking at the humans with its beady eyes narrowed slightly. This rabbit’s fur was grayish white unlike the usual snow-white color on the other rabbits. It looked rather old and experienced, and its eyes flashed with disdain.
Seeing its chance, the powerful muscles on its legs bulged as it leaped off the ground!
“Rumble!”
“Kuang!”
A terrifying might burst out from under the rabbit’s foot. Before they could react, the two humans who were fighting among themselves were kicked squarely by its powerful feet!
The two cultivators were sent flying like cannonballs shot from the barrel of the cannon, leaving streaks of afterimages behind them and crashing into several large trees.
The strongest part of a rabbit’s body was naturally their hind legs. Even a normal rabbit could kill an eagle if it managed to land a kick on the latter with its hind legs. There was no need to mention the power behind a kick from a Fourth Layer rabbit Demonic Beast!
This gray rabbit was incredibly powerful, and even though it was similarly at the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm, it was much stronger than the other Fourth Layer gangster rabbits!
This old-looking rabbit was the real king in this region. Its strength had been gained by itself by painstakingly cultivating and breaking through. It was not like these little rascals that only achieved their current strength with the aid of a lucky occurence.
The chests of the two cultivators had caved in, and large mouthfuls of blood constantly flowed out of their mouths, along with pieces of their internal organs.
“Faster!” Ge Fei was incredibly anxious, and she did not even dare to turn her head as she fled.
Too terrifying. This entire area had turned into a playground for the gangster rabbits! There were thousands of gangsters rabbits at the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm, not counting the smaller minions behind them! At this moment, Ge Fei felt extremely regretful after coming here and stepping into these muddy waters.
“Damn it, just what kind of magic occurence is it that could make these low-grade Demonic Beasts level up to such an extent in such a short amount of time!” Li Wei gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with unwillingness. If he could get his hands on this kind of thing, he might even be able to break through to the Thousand Year King realm on the spot!
“Looks like we can only sell this information at this rate.” Li Wei decided. This kind of lucky chance was not something that he could get his hands on. He simply lacked the ability to do such a thing. At this point, he could only try to obtain as much profit as possible.
Initially, when Li Wei first obtained the news, he had gone wild with joy, bringing several hundred people into the Hundred Break Mountain Range to obtain the rabbits’ source of strength. But at this moment, there was only a scarce remainder of people with him. The others around him were people from another group.
“Hm? There’s someone in front!”
Martial cultivators all possessed extremely good vision. They could even see a trace of smoke from several kilometers away at this point. In that moment, an idea came into everyone’s mind.
“Young miss, there’s someone ahead of us; we need to be wary of a pincer attack later on.”
The few middle-aged men around Ge Fei grew excited as they looked at the stream of smoke far in the distance. A complete set of plans had already appeared in their minds.
“Family Head, aren’t we behaving a little too brazenly? If we were to attract a large group of Demonic Beasts…” Lu Bing and Lu Bu stood on each side of Bei Feng, looking at the dense jungle warily.
In the middle of the clearing, there was a huge Demonic Beast carcass slowly roasting above a bonfire. Large droplets of golden fat oil glistened on the surface of the Demonic Beast, and a thick fragrance rose from it.
Bei Feng shrugged his shoulders nonchalently as he munched on a piece of meat, and said, “Don’t worry about it. If we can beat the Demonic Beasts, we’ll fight. If not, we’ll just run.
“Not bad, the exterior is crispy, while the flesh is tender. The skin is nice and chewy, and the longer one chews, the more fragrant it gets. The meat is not dry at all, and there’s so much juice in every bite.” Bei Feng nodded his head. Demonic Beasts were certainly natural delicacies. There wasn’t any need to put too many ingredients to cook them, and their meat would still taste amazing.
Lu Bu and the rest was rendered completely speechless by these words, but they had no other options except to raise their vigilance further.
“Hm? Someone’s here!” Lu Bu’s face suddenly stiffened as he looked into the distance. A group of more than 10 cultivators was approaching their location rapidly.
“Zeng!”
One of the guards immediately drew his sword and looked at the group of quickly approaching people warily.
“Family Head, the situation is bad! There’s a group of cultivators, and all of them are at the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm. From their faces, they look extremely wretched, as if they are being chased by Demonic Beasts,” Lu Bu immediately reported.
“En, then let’s leave this area first,” Bei Feng said unhurriedly as he slowly swallowed the last mouthful of his meat.
Of course, Bei Feng was not so arrogant to think that he could disregard these people and whatever was chasing them. More than 10 Fourth Layer cultivators was a decently strong group, but they were obviously in an exhausted state, and he also had no reason to get himself involved in their matters.
“Damn it! Those people are trying to leave!” Li Wei saw that Bei Feng’s group was preparing to leave and immediately cursed. How could they let things be just like that? In that moment, his already very fast speed increased another notch! At the same time, he shouted in a loud voice, “Friends in front, please wait! I have a proposition to discuss with you!”
Bei Feng looked over, and a sly smile appeared on his face. “Sure, let’s talk later on after you manage to survive.”
“Damn it!” Seeing that his plan to lead the troubled waters to the east had been exposed, Li Wei cursed lowly and continued charging towards Bei Feng’s group without care.
There was a good story about two youths in the forest who met a tiger midway. The story basically went like this: there was actually no need to run very fast when trying to escape from the tiger. One just needed to run faster than the other person!
Li Wei’s group was indeed running very quickly. They were all Fourth Layer Hundred Year realm cultivators. As for Bei Feng’s group, except for Bei Feng and Lu Bu, everyone else was merely at the Third Layer of the Hundred Year realm. Their speed was naturally not as fast as Li Wei’s group’s. As such, the distance between the two groups began to close.
“Ji-ji!”
A patch of white suddenly appeared behind Li Wei, along with the dreadful squeaking noises. Numerous floppy ears could be seen bouncing up and down behind him, and from the looks of it, the bunny rabbits could jump several hundreds to a thousand meters with each leap!
At this time, there were less than 50 gangster rabbits chasing behind Li Wei’s group. The other gangster rabbits had already dropped out of the chase due to a lack of strength.
The distance between the three groups continued to narrow, from a thousand meters to a hundred meters!
“Ice Sealing Freeze!”
Li Wei’s blood Qi erupted, and a frost-attributed martial technique rose in his hands. In an instant, an ice pheonix reared its head and appeared before Li Wei. Instead of throwing the ice pheonix at the rapidly approaching gangster rabbits, he directed the ice pheonix at Bei Feng’s group!
“Family Head, run! I’ll block it! Unparrelled Battle Will!” Lu Bu shouted suddenly after he looked at the 10-zhang-wide ice pheonix and his blood Qi erupted like a volcano. The blood Qi aura surging from him rose high into the sky, and his domineering presence increased like a flood, growing higher and higher!
A streak of blood-red energy formed before Lu Bu’s body, transforming into a simple and unadorned large halberd. The halberd looked extremely real, and an aura of history and ancientness surrounded it!
Lu Bu suddenly charged forward instead of retreating as he chopped down with his huge halberd at the ice pheonix!
“Ka-cha!”
The two attacks collided together and resulted in a stalemate. Lu Bu’s face had turned completely red, and his dark hair flew wildly in the wind. The blood-colored halberd pressed forward with greater strength, slowly pushing the ice pheonix back!
Numerous cracks appeared on the ice pheonix’s body, and at the same time, numerous strands of icy frost Qi seeped towards Lu Bu’s soul.
“How can this be! Just the third rate Unparelled Art was able to stop my Frost Intent?!” Li Wei’s expression changed drastically. In just an instant, he recognized Lu Bu’s martial technique and cultivation technique. But that was exactly the thing that made him feel even more shocked!
The name Unparelled Art sounded extremely dominating, but it was actually just a cultivation technique that was only slightly better than low-grade cultivation techniques. It was a kind of rubbish technique that could be found anywhere on the streets. But such a low-grade technique had actually been able to stop his graded martial technique!
This was simply a miracle! The Frost Intent blood Qi that he cultivated was at least 40 percent purer than the Unparelled Art’s. Not to mention, he had even used an accompanying martial technique!
Ge Fei’s eyes flashed with some unwillinness, but it quickly steeled into determination as she commanded the guards around her, “Attack together!”
“Yes!”
The few guards all attacked without hesitation, throwing all their various skills out!
Just dealing with the attacks of Li Wei alone had caused Lu Bu to expend his entire strength. Now that several more attacks were flying at him, his chances of winning completely disappeared.
Lu Bu stood quietly watching the attacks flying towards him, his face devoid of joy and grief. ‘The family head should have already escaped safely?’
“Eagle Bear Strike!” A domineering voice suddenly rang out beside Lu Bu just as he gave up hope. The figures of a huge Giant Bear and a Heaven Splitting Eagle joined together, forming a silver gray vortex of energy!
The terrifying energy continued to surge, increasing manifold in strength as if there were no limit to it. With Bei Feng’s current strength, the killing technique of the Form and Will Fist could only be described as horrifying!
“Ka-cha!”
“Pu!”
“Bang!”
As easily as crushing dry weeds and smashing rotten wood, Bei Feng relied on pure strength to overpower all opposing forces. The first to be shattered was Li Wei’s ice pheonix, followed by Ge Fei’s guards’ attacks!
Four shadows shuddered and spat out a mouthful of blood as they were blasted backwards!
Ge Fei shot a deep glance at Bei Feng and unhesitantly brought her remaining two guards to leave.
Li Wei and four others had all suffered heavy injuries, but just tens of meters behind them were the cluster of gangster rabbits!
“Boom!”
“Crack!”
A gangster rabbit arrived beside one of the heavily injured in a single breath, with an exaggerated smile on its face as it lifted up the spiked mace in its hands. Without any shred of hesitation, it swung the heavy mace towards the heavily injured cultivator’s head!
Like a watermelon that’d been smashed open, a reddish white substance was splattered all over the place. The innocent-looking rabbit’s face was tainted with a line of fresh blood, causing it to look incredibly ferocious.
Li Wei hurriedly circulated his blood Qi as a gangster rabbit loomed over him, lifting up a black colored-cooking wok and smashing it towards his head!
“Dang!”
The solid black wok smashed solidly against Li Wei’s head, and its center directly broke apart, trapping Li Wei’s head in it.
“AHH! DIE FOR ME!”
Li Wei did not care about the chaotic blood Qi in his body as he forcibly circulated his blood Qi, enduring pain which felt like his veins and meridians were being torn apart to form an ice pike above the annoying rabbit, which was stll wondering why this human’s head wasn’t smashed by its attack.
“Ka-cha!”
The ice pike dropped with incredible speed, instantly stabbing through the gangster rabbit’s body. The ice pike stabbed with such might that the entire gangster rabbit was blown backwards and lifted into the air. In the next instant, a layer of ice covered the gangster rabbit, and with an abrupt shrinking motion, the gangster rabbit shattered into countless pieces of thumb-sized icicles!
“Family Head…” Lu Bu turned to look at Bei Feng, not knowing what to say. He hadn’t expected that the family would actually come back to save his life!
“Don’t say anything. The ten of you, do not get seperated. Move together.” Bei Feng did not say too much. The guards were simply too weak, and fighting alone would result in many casualties. Bei Feng did not wish for a group of men so loyal to him to die here.
“Yes!”
Lu Bu nodded heavily, not saying anything else. However, his aura rose dangerously, and his battle intent continuously surged upwards!
