Chapter 110 - Waiting Idly for Opportunity
Tornadoes raged in every direction, shrouding the sun and casting the entire sky in a swirling dance of sand and gravel.
The wind propelled the sand and gravel with tremendous force, hitting Chen Fan and Qin Yao’s layer of protective primeval qi to generate sparks.
The fine yellow sand, whipped by the powerful winds, swirled relentlessly. After countless rotations and accelerations, it could nearly pierce through steel.
Fortunately, the duo were Qi Grandmasters, so their primeval qi was robust.
If they had still been at the eighth level, Chen Fan would have been fine because of his strong physique, but Qin Yao would have become a colander.
The unforgiving desert climate spared no one, not even the other creatures in the blessed land.
When the tornadoes arrived, even some desert demon beasts with thicker skins had to fearfully burrow deep under the sand, possibly diving into underground rivers to escape the sandstorm\'s fury.
Exposing swords and blades to the tempest for an extended period would strip off a layer of fine steel, illustrating the destructive force of the sandstorm.
Whoosh!
Chen Fan jumped and grabbed at the empty space, destroying dozens of thick tornadoes with his primeval qi.
Sensing moisture in the air after extending his primeval qi, he informed Qin Yao, "Senior Sister, the Black Sea Demon Cave should be just ahead."
The duo darted in that direction.
His protective primeval qi formed a spherical shield around him, preventing any tornado from hitting them.
Flying for approximately two to three thousand kilometers, he realized no more sandstorms were around.
In the distance, they could see a vast sea in the heart of the desert. This ocean, pitch-black and weighty, surged with towering black waves. A mist hung above the sea, concealing the view beyond and obscuring the ends.
There was a sea in the middle of a desert—it was a natural marvel.
“So, this is the Black Sea. And Black Sea Demon Cave should be...” Chen Fan remarked as Qin Yao joined him, standing shoulder to shoulder. They gazed at the vast, pitch-black sea, its expanse seemingly endless.
How could a sea in the middle of a desert be anything other than amazing?
The enormity of the sea, stretching to the horizon, left them both in awe.
“This is the holy land the demon beasts in Dragon Mountain Blessed Land worship. Countless powerful demon beasts live in this sea, with the Black Flood Dragon species reigning as king over the Black Sea Demon Cave,” Qin Yao said.
Chen Fan nodded.
The sect had given them a little booklet containing some information on Dragon Mountain Blessed Land, such as maps, to help them grasp the overall situation inside.
“What should our next step be, Xiaofan? Do you want to enter the Black Sea Demon Cave to take a look?” asked Qin Yao, her head tilted.
No one else was present in their vicinity except the two of them. The depth of the Black Sea Demon Cave obscured any auras, making it impossible for them to sense what lay beneath.
Chen Fan shook his head and said, “No need; it should be dangerous. Although we’re strong, it wouldn’t bode well for us if we’re surrounded and attacked by hordes of demon beasts.”
Chen Fan didn’t rush in recklessly. “I can vaguely sense faint fluctuations emanating from below. Wang Fuchen’s group is still down there, trying to seize the lotus. Let’s find a good hiding spot. We\'ll act as the oriole behind and take it from them when they leave the cave.”
The Black Sea Demon Cave must be in chaos right now.
Securing the Ice Jade Snow Lotus was no easy feat. Perhaps Wang Fuchen and the others were already fighting the demon beasts inside.
If the two of them went down right now, wouldn’t that draw the fire away from them?
He wasn’t that dumb!
“Alright, I’ll follow your decision for everything,” Qin Yao nodded and said.
“Come on, Senior Sister. Let\'s find an inconspicuous hiding spot and await Wang Fuchen\'s group. Let’s prepare to give them the surprise of a lifetime,” Chen Fan said, smiling coldly.
Surveying the area, he spotted a dune and led Qin Yao toward it. The dune\'s strategic location allowed them to observe the Black Sea Demon Cave while maintaining awareness of their surroundings. Positioned for attack or retreat, they could monitor all aspects of their surroundings.
The two settled behind the dune, patiently awaiting their prey.
......
“Hoho, Sect Master Zhuo, disciples from your sect really aren’t afraid of death, are they? Are they really trying to set up an ambush? How funny.” Leng Feng remarked, looking at the primeval mirror. Seeing Chen Fan and Qin Yao arrive at the Black Sea Demon Cave and hide behind a dune, evidently preparing to ambush Wang Fuchen\'s group, he laughed coldly.
Zhuo Bufan, Qin Changkong, and the others furrowed their brow, finding this situation unexpected too.
After surviving a great disaster, Chen Fan and Qin Yao had immediately headed to the Black Sea Demon Cave to seek revenge on Wang Fuchen. However, could those two really fight a Yuanfu realm expert like Wang Fuchen?
How were their actions any different from seeking death?
It was no wonder Leng Feng would mock them.
“Hoho, laugh all you want, Elder Leng Feng. I’m afraid you won’t get a chance later.” Zhuo Bufan retorted, refusing to display weakness on the Spring Autumn Sect\'s behalf.
He knew that Chen Fan and Qin Yao weren’t impulsive; they must have a plan since they dared to go to the Black Sea Demon Cave.
Even though Wang Fuchen is formidable, he would have to pay a price to take the Ice Jade Snow Lotus from all those demon beasts. This should play in Chen Fan and Qin Yao’s favor.
“Sect Master Zhuo is still holding out for a stroke of luck. Let’s see who will be laughing in the end,” Leng Feng said, his words laced with icy disdain.
......
As Chen Fan and Qin Yao arrived at the Black Sea Demon Cave, news of the two being alive spread rapidly, leaving many astonished.
None had expected them to survive the fall—it was a miracle.
In particular, Chen Fan\'s survival after all his blood had combusted defied all logic.
In a distant valley, He Junyang and Bing Ye stood together.
Another figure came running to them.
“What’s the situation outside like, Yang Feng?” asked He Junyang immediately.
Yang Feng said, raising his eyebrow, “I’m afraid you won’t believe it even if I told you. Chen Fan and Qin Yao are still alive!”
“What?”
Astonishment flashed across He Junyang and Bing Ye\'s faces. He Junyang said, “How is that possible? They jumped off the Scarlet Cliff, and it wasn’t like they were Yuanfu realm experts. How could they possibly survive that? Even if Qin Yao survived, Chen Fan should surely be dead. Are you kidding me?”
“I am not joking around; it’s true. The news has spread everywhere. Some people have seen Chen Fan and Qin Yao. They are indeed still alive,” Yang Feng said.
He Junyang furrowed and said icily, “Damn it, that little bastard is still alive after all that? He’s fortunate. But it’s good that he’s not dead. Our boss is about to exit secluded cultivation soon. He will personally kill that rat after becoming a Yuanfu realm expert. Let’s see how he survives that!”
“Mhm.” Yang Feng nodded, smiling coldly.
He survived that great disaster.
So what?
Since he didn’t die the first time around, they just had to kill him again.
