Chapter 798: The Terrifying Field
As tremors shook the nation, in Laogua, Xiao Shun stood motionless, watching Ada frenziedly absorb the dark qi. An ominous feeling crept over him, as if he were being watched, sending shivers down his spine.
He couldn’t hesitate any longer!
With that thought, Xiao Shun, without any further delay, raised his hand and pointed his sword towards Ada, who was not far away.
“Whoosh!”
A stream of energy emerged from his fingertips, shooting violently towards Ada.
As the energy approached within two meters of Ada, an unbelievable scene unfolded. The dark qi, which surged from the heavens and the earth, instantly dissolved his attack into nothingness, vanishing into the dark mass.
“Hmm!?”
Xiao Shun furrowed his brows.
Although he had only used about fifty percent of his strength in that finger strike, it was more than enough to deal with the “Wild Gu Person” Ada. Yet, this strike, capable of instantly killing someone of Anterior Heaven, couldn’t even get close to her body, which was truly alarming!
Ada continued to wildly plunder the dark qi. Seeing Xiao Shun’s expression shift from calm to anxious, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter.
“Ha ha, we ‘Wild Gu People’ are servants of the ‘Eternal Elder.’ Your attempt to take my life is nothing but a foolish fantasy!”
Xiao Shun had never even heard of this “Eternal Elder.”
But the fact that a mere servant could hold such reverence, and be as powerful as an Anterior Heaven expert, surely indicated that this master was a top-tier warrior.
With this thought, Xiao Shun snorted heavily, “Hmph, tonight, no one will save you!”
No sooner had he spoken than he burst into action, charging towards Ada with an unrivaled aura, no longer holding back. He was determined to annihilate her before she could complete some dreadful ritual.
Relying on his extraordinary skill in “Consolidation,” Xiao Shun almost instantly closed the distance to within three meters of Ada.
But at that moment, he found his speed drastically reduced, at least by half.
It was as if an invisible field was hindering his movements, making every step forward immensely difficult.
Despite this, Xiao Shun continued relentlessly, advancing another meter.
Just as he reached the point where his earlier attack had dissipated, he felt as if two massive mountains had suddenly pressed down on his shoulders, bending his normally erect stature.
Such immense pressure, even for a “Consolidation” expert like Xiao Shun, seemed almost unbearable as it continued to mount.
From the ground, Ruan Jinshui, who had been observing, jumped up excitedly.
“Ha ha, you bastard, now you know how powerful it is!”
Ruan Jinshui laughed at Xiao Shun’s plight, his words dripping with schadenfreude, his gaze towards Ada filled with even greater awe.
“Master Ada’s skills are unmatched; you’re just a bug trying to show off in front of him, utterly oblivious to your impending doom!”
Ruan Jinshui continued to taunt Xiao Shun, venting all the fear and anger he had accumulated.
Boosted by the praise, the already arrogant Ada chuckled to herself.
“Hehe, forcing me to use my divine power, causing the loss of thirty King Gu worms, you’re undoubtedly doomed today, boy!”
Harnessing such mystical powers was not without cost for Ada, indeed the price was so steep that it was almost unbearable for him.
The thirty Gu King insects were essentially thirty lifebound Gu.
Unlike ordinary Gu cultivators, the “Wild Gu People” had received a special inheritance that allowed them to command multiple kinds of Gu insects in one go, provided their strength was formidable enough.
At this moment, Ada could only muster the strength to control thirty.
In other words, to conjure divine powers to confront Xiao Shun, he had sacrificed all he had at his disposal!
Those were thirty top-tier Gu insects!
Thinking of this, Ada felt a pain so intense it was as if his heart bled, and his hatred for Xiao Shun grew increasingly uncontrollable.
“Damn it, I will make you suffer the agony of thousands of insects boring through your heart!”
After roaring, Ada’s speed of chanting spells increased even further.
Simultaneously, as ancient notes rapidly escaped his lips, the filthy energy swirling between heaven and earth gathered faster towards him.
Xiao Shun had no time to pay attention to these developments; all he could do was rely on his own strength to resist the pressure acting upon his body.
He remembered a laughable saying he once heard.
It felt like countless elephants dancing on one’s skin.
Truly, Xiao Shun could now empathize with that phrase.
The pressure he was currently resisting could better be described as countless elephants dancing inside his pores!
“This can’t go on, if the oppressive force keeps increasing, I won’t be able to look after Linger. Without my protection, she would instantly be crushed into a mist of blood in this domain.”
From the beginning, he had been reserving some of his strength to help Song Linger withstand the pressure; otherwise, she wouldn’t have lasted until now.
But Xiao Shun dared not simply abandon Song Linger, especially with Ruan Jinshui lurking nearby, ready to exploit any weakness.
Damn, what exactly is this domain, and why is it so terrifying that just a “Wild Gu Person’s” release can trap me in it!
Even if Xiao Shun racked his brain, he would never guess that his current adversary was not just any “Wild Gu Person,” but a “Half Saint” level powerhouse.
At this moment, Ada was merely channeling mystical powers from that being’s body; otherwise, who would have the strength to absorb the corrupt essence dispersed in the cosmos!
Right now, Xiao Shun was in grave danger, because his opponent was not Ada, but the “Eternal Elder” deep in the tropical rainforest.Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
Damn it, no choice but to use the “Fight Book”!
With this thought, Xiao Shun summoned all his energy, directing the newly born golden Essence Streams from his dantian to surge through his meridians.
As the Essence Streams filled his major meridians, a faint golden glow emerged on his body, exuding an overwhelmingly fierce aura.
At the same time, Xiao Shun abruptly opened his eyes.
“Swoosh!”
Two piercing beams of golden light shot out from his eyes, like two strong beams, instantly creating two gaps in the black aura surrounding Ada.
Immediately after, Xiao Shun bellowed, “Break!”
As the words fell, his fist, glowing with a dazzling light, heavily smashed into the mass of dark mist.
