Condemning the Heavens Chapter 310

Chapter 310: 310
The experts were all filled with anger and frustrations . They had listened to the Berserkers throughout the time and understood that their end would be rather gruesome; all the blood would be drained from their bodies while still being alive .
They had felt hopelessness and despair as they knew that their end was coming; the only one who had been calm was Luoluo . She had claimed that her older brother would save her, and the sailors and delegations were feeling incredibly embarrassed for not believing her now that it had proven to be true .
In the cage were also the King and Lin Xiao . Both of them were severely beaten compared to the others who had no injuries . Their bodies were riddled with wounds, both shallow and deep ones; it was clear that they had been fighting to their last breath, and only kept alive because of their precious blood .
Anger flared in Xue Wei's heart . He considered these two people his friends, but now they had been beaten this badly, he could not accept it!
He quickly found a few pills from his storage artifact and placed them in the mouths of the two unconscious friends .
The pills he used were improved versions of the Returning Spring Healing Pills . These pills were not the best pills he had, but considering the injuries, they were the most suitable ones as they would treat every single wound and not focus on one specific injury .
As the pills dissolved in their mouths, the two slowly woke up, their bodies aching, but stream after stream of energy shot into their bodies and slowly alleviated their pain and healed their bodies .
While Xue Wei was busy dealing with his two friends, the sailors and the two delegations swept through the entire city . Their storage artifacts had been taken away from them, but they quickly found weapons or tools they could use as weapons or fought with their bare hands, releasing all the restrained anger and frustrations they had felt while being captured .
The city was painted red; blood was flowing in rivers . More and more were killed as their power was weak after the loss of blood from the blood river and blood lake, because of this, they were easy to kill, like sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered .
Panic erupted in the lost city of the Berserkers; the Berserkers were all filled with dread and fear . They had been the hunters, but now they became the hunted . All the feelings of fear that their original targets had felt were being returned to them one by one .
"Hei Gou, carry the King, I'll drag Lin Xiao with us," Xue Wei said, and as he said, he went to drag Lin Xiao with him out of prison, while Hei Gou carried the King .
Luoluo looked on in dismay . Clearly, she was unhappy, but because of the circumstances she did not cause any problems, but when Xue Wei saw her indignant face, he did not know whether to laugh or cry . It was clear that she was unhappy that her hubby was touching another woman .
Sighing he shook his head, and dragged Hei Gou with him, behind him was the Berserker and Bai Tianyi, both of them were observing everything around them, and both the King and Hei Gou were getting better and better .
Halfway through the lost city, they had not come across even one living person; only corpses were littered on the ground, blood flowing from their limp bodies, and vacant eyes staring in horror into the sky .
Xue Wei and his group of people showed no interest in these dead bodies, but Bai Tianyi was not so naive as to not inspect them . If any of them had the slightest trace of being alive still, then a spiritual energy sword severed the head from the body, ensuring that no ambush was laying on the way .
As they advanced, they soon reached the front of the battle . Here they saw how the Berserkers were pushed back, all of them filled with fear, and their attacks were filled with hesitation . It was clear that everyone was doing their utmost to escape, but where could they escape to? They were on an island; everything was under control of the delegation and sailors .
Xue Wei sent Bai Tianyi out to find the storage treasures of everyone, and soon he did not have to drag Lin Xiao anymore, soon he could support him, as they returned to the harbor .
There they were greeted by sight of the wreckage of their ship . It was completely burnt down; the charred wooden frame was all that was left .
Looking around the harbor, they found no other ship as magnificent; all of them were rather crude and not made for long distance sailing . They could not accommodate all of them either .
Pondering on what to do, Xue Wei placed Lin Xiao on the ground; the King was also being placed down on the ground, both of them sitting down and slowly using their own Qi and Spiritual Energy to heal their bodies .
Not long after, Bai Tianyi returned . He handed two rings to Lin Xiao and the King while the thing he gave Luoluo was a small bracelet . This was their storage artifacts .
"I kept them all," he said, "I found the one who had all the storage artifacts, and then I took them all with me . On top of that, I also looted the corpses I came across, so we have quite a few storage treasures . "
"Give the ones from our comrades back," Xue Wei said with a nod of his head, "but keep all the other ones for yourself . No need to share them with others . "
Bai Tianyi snickered . He felt the same, had they not been there to protect them, then it was likely they would all have died . To let them take the loot was not too much to ask for .
Slowly as time ticked by, the ones who had survived from the sailors and delegation made their way down to the harbor where they met Xue Wei and the others . They saw the stack of storage artifacts and their eyes shone . They thought they had lost their treasures for good .
None of them commented on the fact that Xue Wei and his friends kept the extra ones, they just found their own and placed them on their bodies before starting to ponder on what to do with the ship .
The delegation was the ones who felt the worst . They did not know much about ships or sailing, but they knew that they had to get away from here, they could not stay here for a long time .
"Don't fret," one of the soldiers chuckled . "We are sailors, and we know about building ships . Even the ship we sailed before was built by us . "
"Aren't you sailors? Not carpenters?" one of the members of the delegation asked curiously, but the sailors just laughed . "We are cultivators, and to build a ship, you need strength and speed . Normal carpenters can't build ships as fast as we can . "
There was a pride in his voice as he spoke, and right after, they began to run through the city towards the forest behind them .
The forest which had been green before was now red and blue; the trees were much stronger than they had been before .
After a few days, the red and blue wood had been turned into a magnificent ship . The ship before had been the brown shade of trees, but this one was now blood red and dark blue .
While they had been busy working on the ship, Xue Wei had been occupied speaking with the only Berserker still alive .
She had been shocked when she awoke from her stupor induced by mind infestation, but after thinking it through, she quickly decided to pledge her allegiance to their delegations .
"Let us set out," the delegation did not wish to stay on the Berserker's island any longer .
Having said this, all of them were eager to get away, and thus, they boarded the ship . Lin Xiao and the King were both feeling much better now than before, their wounds were also more or less healed, and they were ready to continue the travels .
Everyone boarded the ship, and as they began sailing, they soon found that this red and blue wood had a great ability to draw in the essence of the heavens and the earth, making cultivation even faster .
"The blue trees have been tainted by your blood, right?" Hei Gou asked with a low voice when they were seated in the corner of the room .
Xue Wei looked around and nodded his head, "should be," he answered, "I don't know what this blood river has done to the forest, nor do I know what my blood has done either, but it is without a doubt a treasure for cultivation, since the heaven-and-earth essence is absorbed so fast . "
Bai Tianyi looked at the wood beneath their feet and started contemplating . After a bit of time, he answered, "I think that the river of blood and the lake of blood from the Berserker's lost city was mixed with various herbs and treasures to make it easier to absorb . These medicines and treasures made it possible for the trees to absorb the blood fast .
"At the same time, this blood is making the trees much stronger than before; in fact, I think that if the trees had not been cut down, they would have evolved into spirits . "
Xue Wei was quite surprised when he heard this . Spirits were something that was created by nature, so to have made it possible for spirits to be created much faster, that was indeed a magical thing .
The ship was rushing through the sea, the front cleaving the waves as easily as a hot knife went through butter, and the boat was even steadier than before .
After the episode on the island with the Berserkers, the people onboard the ship were much more alert . When they docked in some other islands, they were all cautious and did not trust the citizens at all .
Like this time flowed by, they experienced nothing too exciting on the sea, a day turned to a week, and a week turned to a month .
During this month all of them, even the sailors, were eager to cultivate in the dense heavens and earth essence that was present onboard the ship .
During this time, Hei Gou had a breakthrough to the first layer of the Heavenly Knight rank, Bai Tianyi was at the ninth layer of the Sky Knight rank, and Lin Xiao was also at the first layer of the Heavenly Knight rank .
Xue Wei was at the ninth layer of the Sky Knight rank with his Qi levels and the ninth layer of the Sky Knight rank with his spiritual energy .
Although he and Bai Tianyi had the lowest rank, they were the ones they wanted to fight the least . Especially Hei Gou had felt the bloodline suppression from Xue Wei, and all the other delegation members from the Demon Phoenix Continent felt the same whenever they sparred against him .
He was not someone who was simple to fight against, and thus, he fought against the delegation members of Yan Dalu, and also the human sailors who were of higher rank .
This fateful day, just as they thought it would be a day like any other, they realized that it was not . A big ship came rushing towards them, the speed so fast that it had to be fueled by a person with an excellent cultivation base, even if Xue Wei and the others fueled the blood ship, as they had named the new ship, it would not be able to outrun it .
After experiencing the episode at the Berserker island, they were all rather alert and suspicious of others, hence when they saw the rushing ship, they all felt apprehensive and worried .
