Pa pa pa!
A series of urgent footsteps rang out in the silent space.
Yana, Yi, and the other two returned to the lair. However, their auras were greatly weakened and they looked extremely fatigued.
As the potion’s effect was over, they were left with less than 30-40% of their usual strength.
Looking around, they were very shocked to see so many corpses all over the place. When they saw Feng Lin standing there, seemingly very weak and his body was shaking as if he was going to fall at any moment, they immediately went up to him.
Boom!
The earth exploded.
Five figures leaped out from the soil, wearing ashly countenances. They were the paladin team and their vitality had suffered a great impact.
Each of them had a Holy Light Shield placed around their entire body, fending off the lethal damage caused by the death rays. However, they were not in a good state.
“Let go of the spirit crystal bead and we’ll leave you with a complete corpse! Otherwise, all of you can just turn into ashes under my holy light!” The leader of the paladins stared at the spirit crystal bead Feng Lin was holding, wearing an eerie expression.
Having suffered in Feng Lin’s hands for two consecutive times, with them almost dying this time around, he no longer called them thieves. Instead, he blatantly emitted cold and brutal killing intent, not concealing it at all.
Yana and the other three stopped in their footsteps, facing the five people from the paladin team. The atmosphere was extremely tense.
“Hahaha…” A series of sarcastic chuckle broke the silence.
Feng Lin was unable to stand firmly on his feet, but this wasn’t enough to make him back off.
He had finally gotten his hands on the spirit crystal beads at the expense of setting off Deathray Grenades. How could it be possible for him to just hand it over after all that effort he had been through?
“Do it!” Yana let out a low bellow and instantly understood Feng Lin’s decision.
Aris, Yi, and Su Li took action immediately. They understood that at this point, it was impossible for either party to back off.
There was only one spirit crystal bead!
If either side were to give up on it, it would mean that they would be automatically eliminated. Neither party would be willing to let go!
War God Spear!
Golden Crow Descent!
Three-tails Demonfire!
Mental Barrage!
…
A huge spear, flaming bird, demonic fire, golden light… The four of them had built up a rapport and sent their well-coordinated attacks launching out in an instant, drowning the paladin team.
“Holy Light Protection!” A deep bellow rang out.
The paladin team’s five members hugged together closely, and holy light encompassed their entire bodies. It was as if there was a golden bell of protection cast over their heads.
The light wavered and the when the energy impacts struck it, they immediately disintegrated,
A huge light sword came slashing down fiercely from the sky, sweeping through everything.
The four of them were sent flying out.
Both sides had been through a great battle and had suffered severe damages. However, the huge differences in their cultivation and vitality were right there. The four of them were no match for the paladin team.
“Add points to the Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene!”
Seeing that the situation was critical, Feng Lin decisively used the genetic point he had.
The Spiritual Stone Monkey Gene was strengthened from 5 to 6 points.
Warm currents broke out and circulated within, nourishing his parched body. He quickly regained his strength.
Feng Lin’s fatigue was slowly swept away.
The reason he dared to set off the Deathray Grenades was not because he was unafraid of death.
Other than the fact that the Stonebirth Transformation could reduce a great portion of the damages, he could also add the genetic point at a crucial point, allowing his body’s recovery abilities to increase greatly. With it, he would be able to pass through the fatigue period.
However, his injuries were too serious and the addition of one transcendent-grade gene genetic point only allowed his body to recover by 60%. He was unable to fully recover.
However, this was already enough.
“Come over toward me!” Feng Lin let out a deep bellow and his metal cudgel grew rapidly, turning into a thick metal pillar that came crashing down. It caused the holy sword light to keep on wavering.
Yana and the other three quickly got close to Feng Lin.
“Don’t think of leaving!” The paladin team was both surprised and enraged. They released light, forming a huge light pillar that pushed against the landing metal cudgel. At this moment, the sword light came slashing down fiercely.
Grow, grow, grow…!
Feng Lin letting out a deep bellow non-stop, and the metal cudgel kept on growing bigger rapidly as if there were no limits to its growth. It smashed through the mountainous space.
The earth trembled and stones came rolling down. There was great chaos.
“Go!” Feng Lin grabbed hold of Yana and the other three with his spirit force and rapidly flew upward.
Boom boom boom!
Flames spurted out.
The paladin team followed closely after them. They were all wearing Micro Mecha.
Clearly, after suffering in Feng Lin’s hands previously, they had become smarter. Each of them put on a piece of Micro Mecha that could allow them to fly into the sky and dig into the ground.
The two groups started a chase.
“Where are you thinking of going?!” The paladin team kept on shouting out furiously. With the great swords in their hands, they were releasing great light and streams of sword qi that cut through the sky.
Each sword slash they performed would cut through the void and release sharp sounds.
Feng Lin could only keep dodging amidst the sword light incessantly.
Swoosh swoosh swoosh!
Yi kept on drawing his bow, sending countless arrows raining down.
Scorching demonic fire flew across the sky.
Tyrant aura condensed into black fists that smashed out through the air.
…
Feng Lin’s team continued to retaliate.
One team was chasing while the other was fleeing. A battle took place in the sky.
Angel’s Sword!
It was without a doubt that the paladin team had taken the Angel Mythological Path and had cultivated to become grand cultivators. The powers of their holy light were abnormally strong, and there seemed to be indistinct traces of angels singing within the light pillars, suppressing Feng Lin’s team.
Even though Feng Lin’s team had gotten their hands on the spirit crystal bead, it seemed that their fight to get out of the impasse had just started.
Feng Lin’s team was instantly thrown into a desperate situation, and they were at a great disadvantage.
Success was right before their eyes, but this one step was like a heavenly trench that was extremely hard to cross.
The paladin team got increasingly vicious in their chase and was just right behind them.
It was as if they could see the scene in which these five abominable thieves were going to die horrible deaths under the swords. All of their gazes were sharp like blades.
“I have an idea!” Golden light flashed in Yana’s eyes. At the sight of this scene, she suddenly spoke up.
“What is it?” The others sounded anxious.
“If we were to fight against them head-on, we’ll definitely not be a match for them! We must make use of the prowess of nature!” Yana spoke slowly, communicating with them mentally. “We must do this…”
The team of five started taking action.
Mental Storm!
The golden light in Yana’s eyes burst out and violent will swept out, causing the paladin team’s actions to pause.
Hu!
Feng Lin rode on the clouds, bringing along the other four and headed straight up into the sky.
3,000 meters, 5,000 meters, 10,000 meters…
They soon rose high into the sky and even the air became extremely thin.
“It’s about time!” Feng Lin suddenly stood up and stopped moving. He looked down coldly at the paladin team who had come chasing after them. He raised his hands high up.
Spirit force gushed out in all directions. The wind blew and the clouds seethed. Endless amounts of water vapor gathered over from all directions, forming a series of connected clouds and covering up even the sunlight. Very soon, they spread out across over 40 kilometers.
“Thinking of escaping like this? You’ve thought too simple!” The leader of the Paladins smirked. “You guys, give me all of the holy lights’ powers!”
“Yes!” The remaining four paladins let out a deep bellow, and holy light surged toward his body like flowing water.
A light sword that was over 500 meters long came slashing down fiercely from the sky, cutting the clouds into two parts and opening up a path.
The paladin team was about to continue to give chase.
Suddenly, a burst of soft laughter rang out, “Thanks!”
“What?” the leader of the Paladins suddenly had the feeling that things weren’t good.
At the next moment, a flaming bird burst out in the sky, entering a stretch of clouds, scorching it. The temperatures rose.
Ice-cold wind gushed into another stretch of clouds and the water vapor froze into ice crystals.
Both Yi and Su Li had made a move.
Feng Lin wore a struggling expression as he controlled the two groups of clouds to collide together fiercely. With one being hot and the other cold, the air currents collided, instantly sending out vibrant electricity splattering out. Lightning flashed and thunder roared.
The wind and clouds gathered, forming thunder and lightning!
The dark clouds seethed and electricity flashed. It was an extremely terrifying scene.
“This is bad!” The leader of the Paladins was about to back off.
At the next moment, Feng Lin’s muscles all over his body tensed up. With great difficulty, he seemed as if he was dragging two huge mountains and he suddenly pushed out fiercely.
Dark thunder clouds had encompassed the paladin team.
Explode!
Feng Lin grabbed his hands together and the thunder clouds exploded. Endless thunderbolts engulfed the opposing team.
With the joint efforts from all five of them, Feng Lin had turned the tables around completely.
Borrowing the forces of nature, they sent down a thunderstorm.
“Go!” Feng Lin didn’t have any reservations and rapidly brought the other four with him, leaving the scene.
Endless feelings of fatigue and weaknesses gushed up in their hearts, but the joy of successfully getting chicken for dinner [1] overwhelmed everything else. They started to congratulate each other, with cheerful laughter resonating in the sky for very long.
“Congratulations on having chicken for dinner. This is great luck and fortune!”
“The same to you, the same to you!”
“Hahaha…”
