Chapter 784: The Cunning Old Fellow
Yalan and Tie Mu were both at the Second Sky of King God Realm. They had followed Carthew for many years so they must have various fighting experiences. Who could make them run with such haste like this?
"Stop!"
Shi Yan suddenly shouted.
Yalan and Tie Mu didn’t stop. In fact, upon seeing him, they started to attack.
Yalan cultivated the Earth power Upanishad. As soon as she activated her God Domain, the land in her area suddenly twirled. Boundless earth energy immediately turned into a mist of dust, snatching over Shi Yan.
Tie Mu didn’t hesitate. Gusts flew around his body. The wind blades sparkled like shining knives, cutting hundreds of trees around him into pieces.
Since they had been together for a while in the gravitational room, Shi Yan understood their powers Upanishad well. They were using Wind and Earth powers Upanishad. Once they urged the God Domains, they could cooperate well which made people not be able to fly to the sky or to get underground seeking escape.
This is also why Carthew let them two enter the Extreme Purgatory Field together.
The two powers Upanishad exploded together. The gray dust rolled on the ground working with the tornados in the air, covering Shi Yan’s instantly.
Shi Yan’s consciousness was affected badly. Staying in that grey area, he couldn’t locate their positions. Energy tornados were marching furiously, uprooting the giant trees. Such energy movement was strong enough to cut his body into small pieces.
It was different from the prisoners Shi Yan had encountered. Yalan and Tie Mu’s forces were tremendous individuals as their understanding of earth and heaven powers were more profound.
Their God Domains had coordinated their attack together. After Shi Yan got covered, he couldn’t get rid of it. The tornado rolled his body into the air, spinning it. Shi Yan felt dizzy immediately.
Yalan and Tie Mu were the experienced warriors with long battling times in outer space. They had so many divine pellets. They trained their bodies marvelously while also using their wonderful powers Upanishad.
As Shi Yan stayed in their God Domains, he had to be very careful. He immediately released his Space God Domain.
Shortly, the energies of earth and tornado were frozen for three seconds.
But he could hold them only for three seconds.
After three seconds, their two powers got rid of his constraint and moved towards him again.
However, three seconds to the King God Realm warriors like Shi Yan were more than enough. Especially in fighting, it was enough for him to do many things.
He escaped Yalan and Tie Mu’s God Domain, approaching them shortly. He shouted angrily. "What the heck are you doing?"
While shouting at him, he accumulated the energy of his God Body. Special powers of his twirled around him. Starlight spots as brilliant as diamond scattered around him thickly.
"Star Upanishad!" Tie Mu screamed in astonishment. He suddenly woke up, shouting, "Yalan, he’s real!"
Yalan was startled. She scrutinized Shi Yan and then said, "In the gravitational field, you and I talked. How many siblings do I have?"
"An older brother and a younger sister," Shi Yan frowned skeptically. "What did you ask that for?"
Yalan calmed down, exhaling in relief. "So you’re real."
Tie Mu looked like he had finally put the burden aside. He panted. "I thought it came again. F*ck it. That freak has almost made me collapse mentally. So many illusions. I can’t help it anymore. I can’t differentiate reality from an illusion."
Shi Yan was surprised. "What did you encounter?"
The two retrieved their powers. The God Domains disappeared. The area became calm again.
"You’ve broken through?" Tie Mu’s eyes were sharp, screaming with astonishment. "You’ve broken through in this Extreme Purgatory Field?"
Yalan was frightened. She continued shouting ’monster.’
Frowning, Shi Yan expressed his impatience. "True. I’ve broken through, but it doesn’t matter right now. Tell me what happened. What did you do? Why did you need to hide? Who in this Extreme Purgatory Field could put you into such a disordered state? Ao Gera’s team or Madame Leona’s team?"
"None of them," Yalan and Tie Mu forced a smile.
"Those prisoners? They besieged you?" Shi Yan was surprised, asking disbelievingly. "Although they aren’t weak, you guys are experienced warriors who have been through perilous training. What happened?"
"An old fellow at the Third Sky of King God Realm. He cultivates a peculiar power Upanishad that could create illusions. People, scenes, rocks, rivers, mountains; he can create everything you can name, just like a real world." Tie Mu was still scared. "In his illusions, we were attacked by so many friends and even Sir Carthew. We almost got killed. Then, when we diverged, we would meet the illusion of each other. We would be ambushed wickedly. We are exhausted. He has been chasing us this entire time."
Yalan felt helpless. "Although the warriors in the Extreme Purgatory Field are all at the King God Realm, we aren’t afraid of them when we join hands. However, that man has a special power. Until now, we haven’t seen his real face. We only heard his sinister laughter."
Shi Yan couldn’t help but be stern. "Third Sky of King God Realm? He knows how to create illusionary worlds and creatures. You guys couldn’t use the Soul Consciousness to detect it?"
"Our realm is lower than his. We can’t break the illusion. The illusionary characters he created also have living energy fluctuations. We can’t say if it’s real or not." Tie Mu shook his head, unable to avoid a headache. "Anyway, his power Upanishad’s lethality isn’t good. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have survived until now. However, after getting deceived so many times, we’re exhausted."
"Seems like your trouble isn’t small," Shi Yan contemplated and then smiled. "If we meet him, just join hands. Is that old man still here?"
Then, his Soul Consciousness checked the Purgatory Token on his waist. Shi Yan sensed carefully for a while but he didn’t find any beam of living energy. He relaxed his vigilance.
"I’m sure he is around here. This cunning old fellow is like a resentful ghost that will never disperse. He hasn’t left yet. Oh f*ck. He has targeted us for our Purgatory Token. It would help him survive!" Tie Mu cursed, facing the sky and yelling indignantly. "Hey f*cking bastard, if you have the guts, come here and fight. What is interesting about your stealthy operations?"
"Hehehe. I like to hide the head and show the tail. I don’t dare meet people. You guys should show mercy to me." A voice floated in the vast forest like a wind they couldn’t catch or locate.
"Interesting. Another prey at the First Sky of King God Realm. Hehehe, I’m even more certain now that I could get out of this damn place." The sound of the voice wound around many times, sounding close occasionally and far away at other times.
Shi Yan changed his visage.
He sensed the Purgatory Token the second time. His face darkened as he muttered. "He can avoid the Purgatory Token’s sensing?"
Tie Mu and Yalan nodded miserably.
"How could he do that?" Shi Yan was baffled. "My Purgatory Token has never failed in the Extreme Purgatory Field. It’s obvious that the old man’s around but we can’t detect his living trace?"
"We don’t know. This is his dangerous feature. With the Purgatory Token, we would be the hunters. But now, he knows where we are but we can’t detect him. We are under the light while he stays in the dark. We’ve become his prey." Yalan frowned and pulled her hair. "This cunning old man is familiar with the Extreme Purgatory Field. Seems like he hasn’t been here only once. He can use his understanding of the topography and the special situation of each location to create illusions. If he didn’t understand the terrain here like it was the back of his hand, he couldn’t be so subtle."
"Little girl, you’re right. Until today, I’ve been participating in the Extreme Purgatory Field five times. I’ve been the prey every time. However, I’ve been living for well over two hundred and fifty years. Hehehe, the Extreme Purgatory Field is a good place. If I haven’t reached the bottleneck of my realm and I can’t make a good use of the conditions here, I wouldn’t have to leave urgently. Perhaps I could give you a chance to live." The inwardly evil-hearted ridicule arose timely as if he was about to ambush. No matter how much they lowered their voices, he could still hear them clearly.
What he had said paled Shi Yan, Yalan, and Tie Mu.
Participating in the Extreme Purgatory Field five times meant that he has been in the Extreme Purgatory Field for at least two hundred and fifty years. He was a condemned-to-death felon two hundred years ago. As he was able to withstand the Extreme Purgatory Field five times, he was definitely a tough character.
According to him, if he hadn’t reached the bottleneck of the Peak of the King God Realm, he would stay for more.
With such a character watching them and their Purgatory Token, Yalan and Tie Mu didn’t know what to say. They could only blame their bad luck.
"In fact, I’m a nice guy. Actually, I don’t need your lives. If you guys give me a Purgatory Token, I won’t continue watching you guys anymore. How does it sound?" The old man giggled in the dark, talking sinisterly. "Your little buddy at the First Sky of King God Realm is the weakest. It should be easy to kill him, right? Okay. Kill him and you will have an extra Purgatory Token to give to me. I’ll let you guys go. What do you think?"
This old fellow said he was cunning and wicked enough to attempt to tear apart the relationship between Shi Yan and the other two.
Hearing his words, Yalan and Tie Mu became silent. Their eyes sparkled strangely.
Shi Yan shuddered inwardly. He couldn’t help but snort. He looked at the two coldly and frowned, waiting for their decision.
There are no friends in the Extreme Purgatory Field. Except for oneself, one shouldn’t believe trust anyone else. This is what Yalan and Tie Mu had taught him before.
Today, what they taught finally surfaced...
