Book 11 Chapter 2 – Silver Fluid Gold Fluid

DECEMBER 10, 2017 ~ EMILYEVELAN

Lei Xinfeng sighed to himself. He didn’t dare say, “I’ve already obtained the sky crystal. I’ll give it to you as soon as we return.” He definitely couldn’t say it.

The slaughtering spread. The twelve forming Feng Chenzong’s group fidgeted more and more. They stood in a defensive circle atop the stone slab. If any Sage dare come, they were killed immediately. Every slaughtered Sage had a pair of bloodred eyes, each crazed to the point of unthinking.

Lei Xinfeng’s heart pounded. A Seventh Ring Sage is really nothing here. Even if he could block a few strikes from a Ninth Ring, in the end, he will get overwhelmed. If a chaotic battle royale started here, there was a chance of friendly fire.

As the bloodlust welled up, Lei Xinfeng tried to resist as best as he could. Fortunately, the frost pearl on his chest showed its power, calming him down.

Just as Feng Chenzong appeared to lose control, Lei Xinfeng took out another frost pearl. He’d obtained two last time. He threw it to Feng Chenzong. “Senior Brother, put it on!”

Feng Chenzong snatched it from the air, questioning, “Frost pearl?” The chilly air spread, clearing his mind in an instant. He realized Lei Xinfeng’s intention. “Good!”

With the help of the frost pearl, the killing intent that almost went out of control retreated instantly.

It’s just that the other six Ninth Ring Sages’ struggle became more and more precarious. Xin Zhaolun took down the frost pearl from his neck and tossed it to them. “Everyone calm down,” he ordered. The pearl was passed through the six Sages’ hands and they all calmed down quickly.

“Who would’ve known that frost pearls had such an effect? We should’ve killed more Zeshe beasts back then,” Jin Daya commented.

“This place is so large. Why are they all gathering here?” Lei Xinfeng asked.

“The core region is here and should have the highest possibility of producing sky crystals. The other places are barren,” Feng Chenzong said.

Boom!

In the far distance, two people clashed. An attack from a Metal Stamp sent rocks tumbling through the air.

Suddenly, a disturbance in the air rumbled. The shockwave was extremely strange and every person felt it like a loud echo in a gorge. Everyone heard it clearly, but not all could pinpoint the origin.

Excitement flashed through Feng Chenzong’s expression. “A sky crystal appeared!”

Lei Xinfeng realized that amidst the chaotic battle, countless rocks were being destroyed. Coincidentally, one of them contained a sky crystal and caused the shockwave disturbance. It was his first time feeling anything like it. It was quite special and can’t be missed.

When the shockwave appeared, the entire Great Stone Fields plunged into chaos as countless people flew toward the battle.

“Let’s go!” Feng Chenzong said.

Lei Xinfeng cried inside. He didn’t want to go at all. It was at this moment that he realized why this place held the nickname of the Slaughter Fields.

The two combatants froze and began searching. However, countless stone eggs laid on the ground. The shockwave was powerful at first but disappeared without a trace. They could only remember an approximate location but lost track in the frenzy of battle earlier.

Feng Chenzong’s speed was the quickest, appeared near the combatants as fast as he could. He had been paying attention to the battle around him, so as soon as the shockwave appeared, he could approximate the location immediately. The origin wasn’t near the combatants, but almost seventy meters away.

The two fighters saw Feng Chenzong drawing closer and immediately gave a warning. “Scram! Don’t come any closer!”

Feng Chenzong ignored them and came to the area that he believed the origin was from and landed. All the stone eggs in a radius of six or seven meters disappeared.

Lei Xinfeng had called from his guards to slow, so they were behind the majority of the people. When Lei Xinfeng saw Feng Chenzong’s movements, he couldn’t help but praise. That was a truly intelligent move: not looking carefully and simply absorb everything in the area into the Hidden Lun space, only sorting through the pile when he returns.

It took only a few seconds to clean the area out.

The two combatants instantly enraged. This place was originally a place where emotions ran rampant, so when they became enraged, they joined forces against Feng Chenzong.

Feng Chenzong was extremely satisfied. He knew that he had succeeded. Following that large amount of stone entering his Hidden Lun space, he will have to find helpers to sort them out. However, he understood that of that pile of stones, one of them contained the sky crystal. He just had to find it.

Seeing the two people charging toward him, he laughed and began glowing gold. “Kill!”

Xin Zhaolun was near him and attacked at the same time as they had planned. The other six Sages also began their attack. The eight attacks combined, and because the two targets were so enraged, they ran into the attack and was struck.

Boom!

Lei Xinfeng landed near the back and his three guards activated their defenses. Stones flew through the air and a layer of dust rose. The two Sages were completely destroyed, leaving not a single trace. They ran into the all-out attacks of eight Ninth Ring Sages whilst not being Monarchs, how could they possibly survive?

“Let’s go!”

If they didn’t run now, then when?

Feng Chenzong was smart enough to realize that now that he’d succeeded, there was no reason to remain.

Twelve people flew, but it was difficult to escape. A large group of practitioners neared them. Lei Xinfeng’s scalp tingled. “Uncle Jin, Uncle Ying, Uncle Hu, keep together and pay attention to your defense!”

No one was stupid. The shockwave drew the attention of all the nearby practitioners within thousands of meters. They all knew that something good appeared, possibly the sky crystal. They all rushed over and blocked Feng Chenzong’s escape path.

“Did you send a message to Master?” Xin Zhaolun asked.

“Already did, but we must hold on for a bit first,” Feng Chenzong replied.

“Ugh. Everyone pay attention and don’t split up. You should know without me reminding you the consequences of falling behind!” Xin Zhaolun said.

Everyone knew. Only death awaited those that fell behind.

The twelve people organized themselves into a defensive formation and flew toward the outside of the blockade. Within five minutes, they ran into a seven-man team. Feng Chenzong didn’t even bother warning and simply gave the kill command.

“Only a few more moments before Master comes!” Xin Zhaolun said.

Everyone’s confidence surged from the message. If their Master came, not only would they bolster their group’s strength, but they can also leave!

The twelve began attacking the seven opposing Sages. Even Lei Xinfeng used his utmost strength. His Chaos Wheel’s offensive power was impressive. If he wasn’t only a Seventh Ring Sage, then he could’ve become the main force of the group. Now, however, he only had the offense power of an ordinary Ninth Ring Sage without the defensive strength. He could only rely on his guards.

The blockers each had red eyes, unable to control themselves, or else they’d never have dared to confront Feng Chenzong. Of their seven, only two of them were Ninth Ring Sages. There were two Eighth Ring Sages, one Seventh Ring, and two Sixth Ring Sages. If they were in control, there was no way that they’d have dared stopping such a powerful group.

Lei Xinfeng’s Chaos Wheel’s attack was the fastest. Before the others could release their own attacks, he had already landed a hit.

In that attack, Lei Xinfeng hadn’t realized that there would be Seventh and Sixth Ring Sages in the opposing team, so that attack instantly killed two and hurt two more.

Following his attack, the combined blow of his group landed. It was too quick. Following a heavy rumble, the smoke dispersed, revealing that nothing remained.

Lei Xinfeng sucked in a breath. How strong does an attack have to be to kill so many at once? The shockwave from the attack left a huge hole two hundred meters wide and ten meters deep. Even through the holes was so deep, the bottom was still more stone eggs. Although he could see the silver glow of sky crystals, now was not the time to grab it. Because of the darkness at the bottom of the deep hole, the silver glow was especially apparent.

Lei Xinfeng sighed and followed Feng Chenzong.

No matter how many blocked their way, their group mustered all their strength and released one attack that killed all in their path. None could stop them. As they ran, the people ahead of them lessened while those chasing them started to fight amongst themselves.

After obliterating a few more people, the group was finally safe.

Because of Feng Chenzong’s straightforward attitude toward killing those that obstructed him, Lei Xinfeng was impressed. There was no hesitation. Lei Xinfeng knew that if there had been hesitation, then it wouldn’t take ten minutes before they were surrounded and killed. With someone to unify and command them, they managed to escape.

The ground here was also covered with stone eggs, but they were much bigger and varied than before. He saw a stone the size of a water barrel, while the most common size was of an ostrich egg. The surface was the stone wasn’t smooth. He picked up a rock to fiddle with.

“Don’t bother. There won’t be any sky crystals here,” Feng Chenzong said.

“How do you know, Senior Brother?” Lei Xinfeng asked.

“I’ve searched for seventeen years. If I don’t know, who does?” Feng Chenzong replied.

Lei Xinfeng nodded. “Indeed. By the way, the information about this place was leaked by you, right?”

A truly intelligent move would be destroying the area and looking for sky crystals that way before all the other people came. You had ten whole days or more. Idiots.

Also, why didn’t Lei Xinfeng say: I found something, but I can’t reveal it unless we can leave at any moment? It’s not like he would be in danger given the effect of the frost pearls.

Unskilled schemes in novels rely on the audience not thinking the whole thing through and just nodding and accepting the narration. Think of all the other novels world-travel novels that treat the natives like they’re idiots that can’t count or logic.
