Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 257 – Ambush

“Heaven-Shaken Sect’s team is crazy. They’re simply courting death!”

This thought flashed through Senior Martial Brother Fan’s heart, but the magic tool in his hand did not have the slightest hesitation as it went straight for Liu Zhifei’s back.

However, as if Liu Zhifei had already expected this, when he faced the encirclement from three to four Sirius Gate cultivators, including Senior Brother Fan, he actually exploded forth with all his potential and broke through the encirclement that the four of them were about to form, then reunited with Ning Ran who was at the side. Taking advantage that the surrounding Sirius Gate cultivators didn’t react in time, the two of them broke through the encirclement and reunited with Luo Bingkun once again.

After the three of them had gathered, although the three of them had attracted at least seven Sirius Gate cultivators to surround them, their tacit understanding allowed the three of them to escape from the encirclement. The three of them also continued to fight with the rest of the people, and very quickly, they met with Sha Zhi Hong and the other team members.

At this time, Liu Zhifei and the others had finally fallen intight encirclement between two small groups of cultivators, and their opponents could no longer give them a chance to escape. Furthermore, everyone from third team had gathered in one place under the desperate attacks of Liu Zhifei, Ning Ran and the others, so even though they were at a disadvantage, they could still protect themselves from the enemy for a short period of time. At the same time, they were completely entangled with the two small groups.

Senior Martial Brother Fan’s feeling was getting worse. Liu Zhifei was completely giving his all and the spiritual energy in his body was like pouring water. How long could he last in this state?

But what made Senior Brother Fan more uneasy was that Liu Zhifei’s desperate stance was not like he was trying to save someone, nor did it seem like he was trying to break through. Instead, it was like he was bringing his own underlings and jumping intrap.

After the two squads had successfully formed a circle, the Heaven-Shaken Sect squads looked like turtles in a jar, yet they were still fighting like beasts. Senior Martial Brother Fan seemed to have realized something and suddenly wanted to look around.

However, at this moment, a loud shout was suddenly heard from the encirclement. “What are we waiting for? Attack! Let them all stay here!”

Liu Zhifei’s loud shout made Ling Fan’s heart jump. In the blink of an eye, he saw two small teams of cultivators that were about two to three kilometers away from him. One on the left and one on the right, they attacked from both sides.

Crap, I fell for his trick!

Right when the fifth and seventh squads from both sides rushed out from behind the mountain ridges, not only was it Senior Martial Brother Fan, but almost all of the cultivators from the two squads were in a panic. They had actually managed to reduce the pressure on the third team s that were being attacked.

However, Liu Zhifei and the others did not use this as an opportunity to catch their breath, and instead rushed forward even more fiercely, trying their best to entangle themselves with the cultivators of the Sirius Gate, not giving the two small groups of cultivators a chance to hesitate.

A distance of one to two kilometers was nothing to Martial Realm Cultivator, just a sip of tea. It was so short that Senior Martial Brother Fan and the other Opening Spirit School’s team’s inner court disciple didn’t have time to organize a group of people to stop them. As for the Heaven-Shaken Sect’s team of three, they had already formed a pincer attack on the inside and the outside.

Chestnut smiled sinisterly as he controlled his magic tool to form seven whirlwinds and explode in the middle of the formation. In an instant, the area within a hundred feet radius was covered in sand and debris, and the few Opening Spirit School cultivators did not care about anything else but to protect themselves.

However, by the time the sandstorm dispersed, they discovered that five or six of them had already been split apart, and the cultivators of the fifth squad had already infiltrated them and formed a siege.

The small team from the Opening Spirit School was trying to save them but they were all blocked by Shadowgale. They could only watch helplessly as their teammates were besieged by their opponents.

On the other side, Sirius Gate’s Senior Martial Brother Fan also knew that the situation on his side was extremely bad. He no longer cared about his previous private thoughts as he took the initiative to face off against the seventh squad’s Ji Chenglin, attempting to stall most of the people on the seventh squad by himself. This way, he would be able to buy time for his side to break out of the encirclement.

However, just as Ji Chenglin was about to welcome Senior Martial Brother Fan, a loud shout suddenly came from the side, “He is mine!”

Ji Chenglin had an unfathomable smile on his face. Seeing that Senior Martial Brother Fan had already taken the initiative to attack him, he suddenly turned around and dodged.

The corners of Senior Martial Brother Fan’s eyes twitched as he saw a ray of light carrying a violent gust of wind rush over. Halfway there, it collided with his magic tool with a loud bang.

Senior Martial Brother Fan was shocked. When he looked up, he saw that Liu Zhifei had already escaped from the encirclement and was flying towards him. Although Liu Zhifei looked to be in a sorry state as he was surrounded by the two small squads, his aura was extremely strong.

And with Liu Zhifei holding them back, Ji Chenglin immediately formed the seventh group of cultivators to join hands with the people from the third team to surround and attack them. Helpless, Senior Brother Fan had no choice but to follow Liu Zhifei’s previous desperate stance, as he had to escape from the battle with the Imperial Censor’s surprise attack.

Such a sneak attack naturally wouldn’t work, but Senior Martial Brother Fan’s intention was only to keep Ji Chenglin at bay, so as to buy time for the cultivators on his side who were stuck in a passive situation.

As long as they were able to stall the three late stage martial arts realm cultivators for the time being and face the besieging of the others, even if they would suffer losses in this battle, they could still strive to minimize their losses.

When Senior Martial Brother Fan thought of this he couldn’t help but curse in his heart. Originally he was not very active in rescuing the Opening Spirit School, but now he had no choice but to go all out and fight them alone.

However, the situation had progressed far beyond Senior Martial Brother Fan’s expectations. Regardless of whether it was Senior Martial Brother Fan or the late stage Opening Spirit School’s group, they both knew that this battle was inevitable, but in the end, they were confident that they would be able to break out.

However, just as the two small teams of cultivators were preparing to break through the encirclement, a ray of light that was like a shooting star suddenly flashed across the mountain ridge above the entrance.

Right when most of the cultivators in the battle had yet to react, one of them who had rushed out of the encirclement, and was directly in front of the two cultivators of the same level, the second level of the martial arts realm of the Heavenly Wolves that was obstructing the seventh group, was suddenly stunned. His chest was suddenly dyed red by the blood that seeped out of his body, and in the instant that the two cultivators of the seventh group were stunned, they spit out a mouthful of blood and fell backwards.

Just as that person fell onto the ground, a sharp howl rang out from far behind him as he neared. It was the sound of his killing technique that was actually faster than the speed of the sound.

“Thief, how dare you!”

Although no one else had noticed the sudden attack earlier, the consciousness of the five late stage martial arts realm cultivators had already noticed where the assailant was.

On top of the mountain range at Sunset Ridge Pass, a young man holding a longbow had appeared out of nowhere. It was this young man who condensed a spiritual light arrow with his longbow, killing a Sirius Gate cultivator unexpectedly.

Although the power of the Spiritual Light Arrow was not as great as that of the magical equipment, much less as the flying magic tool, the speed at which it was released was astonishing. Moreover, its range had far surpassed the range of the cultivator’s flying magic tool!

and the other cultivators of the Heaven-Shaken Sect, especially those who were familiar with Yang Junshan, Ning Ran, Mu Jie and the others, had all known that Yang Junshan had a low tier s, but since when did this brat have a second magic tool and it was even a magic tool that very few cultivators like Zhang Gong were willing to use?

One had to know that even late stage martial arts realm cultivators like Liu Zhifei and Ji Chenglin only had one artifact in their possession. They would rather collect a large amount of cultivation resources and raise their own artifacts to middle or upper rank, than to forge a second artifact.

Although they were envious, their morale was still boosted. After all, with Yang Junshan, a threat that no one else could reach, it was difficult for the two groups of cultivators to focus all of their attention on breaking through the encirclement. Who knew if there would be an arrow from behind that would be able to push down the last straw!

Very quickly, after Yang Junshan made his move, two cultivators from the Sirius Gate and the other two groups of Sirius Gate joined hands to break through the encirclement. Because they did not have sufficient tacit understanding, the cultivators of the Opening Spirit School bravely moved forward, but the cultivators of the Sirius Gate were distracted by Yang Junshan’s deterrence, and they cowered before Yang Junshan. They quickly took their comrades into danger, and died under the encirclement of two members of the seventh team, along with Luo Bingkun and the other two.

Without the protection of his companions, that Sirius Gate cultivator was quickly surrounded by danger, and in the end, was taken advantage of by the fifth group of cultivators who were rushing over.

However, three cultivators had just fallen from the enemy’s encirclement, causing the hearts of both senior brother Fan and Zheng Qingyuan to sink. Their original plan to bring their subordinates to retreat as quickly as possible was immediately thrown away. They could not continue like this and had to make a decision to abandon a portion of the group.

The two cultivators that were separated seemed to havacit understanding, as Senior Martial Brother Fan desperately tried to keep Liu Zhifei and Ji Chenglin at bay while Zheng Qingyuan suddenly gave up on the two groups of cultivators and attempted to open a gap.

Swoosh!

A sharp whistling sound seemed to be far away, but Zheng Qingyuan’s expression changed, he did not even use the magical equipment in his hands, he only used one finger technique, and released two techniques in a row to annihilate Yang Junshan’s Spirit Arrow.

But Yang Junshan’s original intention was not to kill a Martial Realm Cultivator, it was enough as long as it could delay him in time.
