Chapter 948 - A Harsh Battle - II

Sensing the spirit Qi fluctuations coming from the distance and the voice, the faces of the Long Cloud elders fell. 

They were all Junior elders of the Long Cloud sect and were at the nascent soul realm. There were currently no high elders near them and even if they wanted to ask for help from theme, they won't be able to arrive in time necessarily.

"What do we do now, elder Liu Cai?" one of the elders asked as he gripped the spirit axe in his hand tightly.

"What else? WE FIGHT ON! We'll explode out nascent souls if we have to, if it means killing that man!" The leading elder said with determination.

Hearing this, the others seemed to be a bit hesitant, but the cries of the disciples coming from all around them made them strengthen their resolve.

"Looks like today is the day that I have been preparing for. I'll be going ahead first, elder Liu Cai." A white haired elder said in a melancholic tone. 

He was the oldest looking one among them, but was only at the Infant Soul stage of the nascent soul realm. There were also several injuries on his body, the most severe one of them being a large one in the side of his chest that revealed his bleeding lungs inside.

Hearing the words of the white haired elder, the others looked on solemnly.

"If we live past today, the Long Cloud sect will never forget your contribution, Elder Sai." Elder Liu Cai said.

~WHOOSH~

"If your melodrama is over, then be ready to die!" The Dao Shell realm member of the Gu legion finally arrived.

Unlike the others, he was not wearing a mask and his face was open for all to see. Though his robes were the same as all others, being black with the Gu Legion character imprinted on the back.

"Your opponent is me!" Elder Sai shouted as he ate a pill.

The pill was pitch black in color and let out a foul smell. If anyone were to smell it they would find their head feeling dizzy and if they smelled it for a bit too long, they might just fall unconscious.

And yet, Elder Sai ate it as if it was nothing.

"HAAA!" Elder Sai yelled as a newfound power coursed through his body.

Black veins popped all over his body and his flesh started to shrink rapidly. By the time he was halfway to the Dao Shell realm cultivator, he was all but skin and bones.

"I wasn't as talented as others, but I still managed to become an elder of the Long cloud sect. With all that the sect has given me and nurtured me, it is now my time to pay back." Elder Sai said to himself as a fierce glint appeared in his eyes.

~PSHHHH~

He ruthlessly bit off his own tongue and spat out dense blood essence from his mouth. The blood essence was heavy like mercury and filled with dense vitality. Having done that, the chest of the old man burst open and from it shout out a small infant.

The infant was barely the size of a palm, but when it passed through the blood essence, it rapidly grew and aged in the blink of an eye. From an infant, it turned into a young man.

The Dao Shell realm Gu legion expert who saw all this felt danger in that moment as his pupils constricted.

"Don't you dare—" but before he could say much, the nascent soul reached him.

"CLOUD FATHER ERADICATION!" The nascent soul of Elder Sai shouted before exploding.

~KABOOM!~

The sound of the explosion was loud enough to be heard for several tens of kilometers and all those that were within its range had to forcefully shut their ears for the fear of going def.

The ones that were right next to it though, had it the worst and their ears were already bleeding. The Long Cloud sect elders who knew what was going to happen were a bit prepared though, and were able to defend to a certain extent.

Dense cloudy smoke filled an area of five hundred meters, making anyone hard to see what was happening there. Even the spirit sense was useless here as the cloudy smoke was filled with spirit Qi fluctuation that were chaotic enough to injure it.

"He did it…" Elder Liu Cai said in a low voice.

His expression was that of seriousness, yet a hint of respect could be seen in his eyes. The other elders that were with him had similar expressions, though there was also worry mixed in with that.

"I never thought I would ever get to see the Cloud Father Eradication being used in my life. And now I have…" One of the elders muttered.

"Though it might have been best if we never got to see it." A female elder added. "The cost of it is too great."

~woong~

But just as they said this, a wave of energy was felt coming from the center, alarming them all.

"No way… it can't be…" Elder Liu Cai gasped.

"FUCK YOU, LONG CLOUD SECT!" A hoarse voice yelled as a gust of wind forcefully pushed away all the cloudy smoke.

"He's really alive!" Elder Liu Cai said in an astonished tone.

"How can he live after that exposition of the Cloud Father Eradication? Even a Shell completion stage Dao Shell realm expert would die." The female elder said as dread appeared in her eyes.

~Kacha~

The sound of glass breaking could be heard as a small object crumbled in the hands of the Dao Shell realm expert.

"You all piss me off like hell! You even made me use up the Great Rampart Talisman…" The Dao Shell realm expert cursed.

Seeing that the self sacrifice of their companion and fellow elder had gone to waste, the Long Cloud sect elders didn't know what to do but feel lost.

"You shall all pay for this with your lives and your disciples's lives! Your souls and bodies will strengthen our lord!" The Dao Shell realm expert laughed out loud.
