Chapter 1425 Watching the Fire from the Other Bank
As time went on, Lu Chen gradually noticed that Zhou Shuwen and the others were also keeping a certain distance, following the pack of Gale Ice Soul Wolves at a leisurely pace.
At this moment, Yun Kebo suddenly transmitted his thoughts telepathically:
"Brother Lu, are you sure we want to chase after them directly like this? Those people are all powerful experts at the level of the Dao Cultivation Saint Emperor. If they discover us, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Lu Chen nodded slightly, but did not stop walking. "I know, but we have no other choice. The Nine Luminaries Divine Spring is of paramount importance to us. If we miss it, we may never have such an opportunity again."
Besides, if we give up now, wouldn't we be letting down the painstaking efforts of your ancestors of the Youqiong clan?
“Brother Lu, you’re right. I’ll listen to you.” Yun Kebo said firmly.
As they were talking, Lu Chen suddenly changed his position and hid behind a boulder covered in ice and snow. Yun Kebo followed closely behind and carefully concealed himself.
The two were currently on a small hill covered in ice and snow, from which they could see the entrance to the canyon below.
Then, Zhou Shuwen and his group engaged in another fierce battle with the same pack of Gale Ice Soul Wolves.
The Gale Ice Soul Wolf pack swept across the area like a white storm, moving so fast that it was almost impossible to see with the naked eye, and even divine sense could only perceive blurry black shadows.
However, the constant tearing of the surrounding space and the terrifying energy fluctuations emanating from it were enough to show that being besieged by the Gale Ice Soul Wolf pack was a very troublesome matter.
However, Zhou Shuwen and the others remained unusually calm in the face of such a rapid offensive.
The five of them moved with lightning speed, their coordination was perfect, and they formed an invisible defensive formation.
At the same time, Zhou Shuwen formed a hand seal, and then a strange light flashed in his eyes. He seemed to blend into the surrounding natural environment and become a part of this world.
At his command, the other four Dao Cultivation Saint Emperors also reacted swiftly.
The five Holy Emperors of the Dao each displayed their supernatural powers, and for a moment the entire battlefield was enveloped in dazzling and colorful light.
No sooner said than done.
Suddenly, Zhou Shuwen produced an exquisite jade flute in his hand and began to play it softly. As the melodious notes drifted through the air, the atmosphere around them began to subtly change.
As a powerful figure in the Sacred Sound Pavilion, his flute playing is not only an artistic expression, but also contains powerful magic and control.
At first, the sound was as light as silk, like a gentle breeze, bringing warmth and tranquility.
However, as the melody progressed, the sound of the flute gradually became more intense, like surging waves crashing against the defenses of the Gale Ice Soul Wolf.
Each note was like an invisible blade, piercing through the air and striking the heart of the Gale Ice Soul Wolves, causing them to howl in agony and lose their ability to fight.
Immediately afterwards, another Daoist Emperor, dressed in a black robe, brandished his long sword.
In an instant, streaks of blue light burst forth from the tip of the sword, forming winding water dragons that roared as they charged toward the Gale Ice Soul Wolf.
This water dragon was no ordinary thing; it was formed from pure divine energy, leaving a crystal-clear ice mark wherever it went, freezing everything around it.
The water dragon was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, it pounced into the wolf pack. Several Swift Ice Soul Wolves that couldn't react in time were instantly frozen into ice sculptures, which then shattered with a crisp sound.
The third, the Azure-Clad Daoist Saint Emperor, employed an even more bizarre attack method.
He opened his palms, and two black flames appeared in his palms. These flames were not hot, but rather emitted a cold aura.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the black flames detached from his palm as if they were alive, spreading outwards.
Those flames, though seemingly slow, were actually incredibly fast. Once they touched the body of any Gale Ice Soul Wolf, they would immediately burrow into it, beginning to erode it from the inside out, causing the wolves to howl in agony and eventually turn into a pile of ashes.
The fourth white-robed Holy Emperor was skilled in manipulating the power of lightning. He formed a hand seal, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. Then, dark clouds gathered, and streaks of purple lightning tore through the sky, striking the wolf pack below.
These lightning bolts were incredibly powerful; each strike triggered a violent explosion, scattering nearby snow everywhere.
Some unlucky Gale Ice Soul Wolves were directly pierced through the body by lightning, their corpses charred black and emitting a pungent burnt smell.
The last purple-robed Holy Emperor was also a master swordsman. He simply put two fingers together and instantly conjured countless sword beams that seemed almost tangible.
Countless sword beams flashed through the space like lightning, bringing with them a dazzling light. Wherever they passed, the Gale Ice Soul Wolves fell one after another, their bodies torn apart by the sword beams and scattered into countless fragments on the snow.
"Those black flames are actually somewhat similar to the black flames in the air. How strange," Lu Chen thought to himself upon seeing this.
And all of this happened in just a few breaths.
In this fierce battle, the Gale Ice Soul Wolves put up a tenacious resistance, but ultimately could not withstand the powerful offensive of the five Dao Cultivation Saint Emperors.
Their defenses were pierced, or shattered by ice, or swallowed by black flames, or struck by lightning, or pierced by sword beams, and they all eventually fell on the snow.
The battlefield was filled with the thick stench of blood, a stark contrast to the pristine ice and snow.
After the battle, the five did not leave immediately, but quickly divided up the corpse of the Gale Ice Soul Wolf.
It's important to know that each Gale Ice Soul Wolf is incredibly valuable. Their fangs can be used to forge Saint-grade magic weapons, and their pelts are excellent materials for crafting defensive magic weapons.
As for the inner core, it is one of the most coveted treasures among cultivators, capable of greatly enhancing their cultivation level.
So they quickly collected the carcasses of each wolf, preparing to take them back to the sect for further processing.
Meanwhile, Lu Chen and Yun Kebo, who were hiding behind a boulder in the distance, witnessed everything.
Yun Kebo said to Lu Chen through divine sense with a solemn expression, "Brother Lu, they seem to have been hiding their strength before. The two of us are outnumbered and weak, and I'm afraid we will have a hard time fighting them."
While the Nine Luminaries Divine Spring was important, survival was paramount. His words betrayed a hint of tension and unease, for the enemy they faced was not only powerful but also overwhelmingly superior in numbers.
Upon hearing this, Lu Chen's lips curled into a slightly enigmatic smile. "If they hadn't concealed their strength, how could they have found this place? Besides, who told you we were outnumbered and outmatched?"
His voice was calm and confident, as if everything was under control, and he was not swayed by the predicament before him in the slightest...
