Chapter 1349: A Shocking Turn of Events
“Hmph! Don’t think you can just ignore me!”
Following the demonic cultivator charging towards the envoy of the Ice Cave Abode and the three young potential disciples he was carrying along with him, the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect, who had been fighting with the demonic cultivator, instantly strung into action. Charging forward to block the path of the demonic cultivator just before he could reach the envoy and three young children.
Bang!
Along with the two once again colliding with each other, a small shockwave was created. Forcing the already terrified envoy from the Ice Cave Abode to retreat and try to look for another way around the two battling almost directly in front of him at this point in time.
Even more so considering that the small shockwave just now had allowed him to perceive the strength of the two people fighting. Allowing him to understand that the one from the Star Shattering Sect should be around the First or Second Stage of the Core Formation Realm, while the strength of the demonic cultivator was somewhere slightly above that.
In a sense, the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect was fighting above his realm and was currently winning against the demonic cultivator.
The only problem with this was that the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect couldn’t completely overpower the demonic cultivator. Giving the demonic cultivator a chance to slowly get closer and closer to him and the three children he was carrying even though he had been using his full strength to retreat.
Seeing this as well and knowing that he himself would be in for a rather troublesome situation if the demonic cultivator managed to catch and devour the envoy from the Ice Cave Abode and the few children he was carrying along with him, the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect didn’t hold back as he used everything at his disposal to try and keep the demonic cultivator in one place and stop him from getting closer to them.
Unfortunately, even though he had the upper hand in fighting the demonic cultivator head on, he wasn’t a match for the demonic cultivator when it came to speed. Only barely keeping up with the demonic cultivator through the help of a special artifact that allowed him to temporarily boost his speed just enough to catch up with the demonic cultivator every few seconds.
“Hehe, as I said, this fresh blood and cultivation is mine!”
Because of this, it didn’t take long before the demonic cultivator was standing in front of the envoy from the Ice Cave Abode. Grinning happily as he finally managed to catch up with him and the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect still a few seconds behind him-
BOOOOM-!
However, just as he was about to move to devour the envoy of the Ice Cave Abode before the disciple of the Star Shattering Sect could reach him, a terrifying explosion could be heard somewhere higher up in the sky before a towering demonic figure more than a dozen meters tall came plummeting towards the ground a few thousand meters away-
RUUUMBLE~!
As the massive demonic figure crashed into the ground under the horrified gaze of both the demonic cultivator and the envoy from the Ice Cave Abode, a terrifying earthquake soon hit both of them, causing them to lose their footing and fall to the ground.
Momentarily giving the disciple of the Star Shattering Sect, the opportunity to close the distance and once again engage in battle with the shocked demonic cultivator, while the envoy from the Ice Cave Abode remained frozen on the spot while staring towards the towering demonic cultivator that now laid motionless on the ground a few thousand meters away from them.
Is that perhaps a demonic cultivator at the Third Demonic Transformation Realm? Able to fully turn into a demonic being and having the strength comparable to someone in the Domain Lord Realm…?
Feeling a shiver run down his spine as he realized just how powerful the demonic being in the distance was, the envoy of the Ice Cave Abode could barely gather enough courage to move out of the way of the battle between the demonic cultivator and the disciple of the Star Shattering Sect, as he kept his gaze focused on the massive demonic figure-
Rumble~!
And just at that moment, the massive demonic cultivator that had crashed into the ground and remained motionless so far, started rising from the ground, causing both the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect and the demonic cultivator he was fighting to stop, as they similarly turned their attention towards the terrifying demonic cultivator in the distance.
At this moment, be it the demonic cultivator, the envoy of the Ice Cave Abode, the three children or the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect. All of them understood that they would be dead the moment the demonic cultivator noticed them.
The only one who did decide to do something was the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect, who had taken out a communication talisman to inform his seniors about the situation, but it could be some time before someone strong enough to deal with a demonic cultivator at the Third Demonic Transformation Realm could show up.
For now, their only hope was that the one behind the demonic cultivator being knocked into the ground was still around and in a better state than the demonic cultivator.
At least, everyone except the demonic cultivator standing next to them hoped this, as he would die either way.
His only hope for now was to use the opportunity to try and sneak away while everyone was distracted-
Whoosh-!
So that was exactly what he did, as he soon sped off into the distance when the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect had his full attention focused on the terrifying demonic cultivator slowly standing back up-
Swish-!
Ptsh!
However, before he took more than a few steps, a small red colored light suddenly descended from above and directly cut him in half without giving him any chance to react or fight back.
At this moment, two figures descended from the sky. Hovering above the demonic cultivator that had just gotten back up, both carrying a terrifying presence no less than that of the demonic cultivator. Making it clear that these two people were both in the Domain Lord Realm.
“Elder Hu, Elder Lan!” Recognizing the two figures who had just descended, the disciple from the Star Shattering Sect called out in an overjoyed voice.
“Hm? Would you look at that, I didn’t expect for there to be a disciple and a few others around when I knocked this fellow over here. Haha, at least there are two of us around. Brother, can you help those people get out of here safely before they get caught up in the battle?”
Having already noticed the disciple from his sect earlier and also the envoy from the Ice Cave Abode and the three children he was still carrying with him, one of the two people, who turned out to be none other than Wang Hu, one of the original elders of the Star Shattering Sect who had managed to reach the Domain Lord Realm, called out to his brother to help them get to safety.
“Fine, just make sure to not finish things before I come back!” Nodding his head, Wang Lan, who had similarly managed to break through to the Domain Lord Realm made sure to remind his brother to not kill off the demonic cultivator too fast, as he really wanted to take the opportunity to refine his combat techniques.
In a sense, it was for this reason that they had found a relatively remote area to knock this demonic cultivator towards. Creating a place where they would be able to refine their combat techniques in real combat against a demonic cultivator.
Although doing so was dangerous considering that the strength of the demonic cultivator was no weaker than theirs, it was far more beneficial than training inside the Combat Hall and would help them more easily pick up flaws in their combat techniques.
Whoosh-!
Not a second later, the group of five soon found themselves being lifted into the air before being carried off into the distance by Wang Lan.
“Wha-!?”
“W-we are flying?!”
“Wooow! Flying!”
And while the envoy from the Ice Cave Abode was keeping quiet out of fear of accidentally offending this senior from the Star Shattering Sect, the three children didn’t have any of this fear, as they all just clamored excitedly over the fact that they were flying.
Luckily, as the envoy of the Ice Cave Abode glanced towards the Wang Lan, he discovered that he didn’t seem to care about this. Allowing him to breathe a sigh of relief before he took the opportunity to look back in the direction where the towering demonic cultivator and the elder from the Star Shattering Sect were confronting each other.
Hoping to witness the fight, even for a short time, as he understood that he was unlikely to get the chance to do so again in the future.
