Chapter 557: Slaughtering a few Rats

Sizzling sounds were heard all over the place, as a strong and thick mist covered the place and none of them were able to understand what was going on.

It was like a simple case of extreme cold clashing with extreme heat, a case of simple mist, and yet none of them was able to 'see' through it.

It was like their sharp senses didn't exist in the first place like they were normal people and not experts who had lived for hundreds of years.

None of them could believe this situation, but the more that thick mist approached them, the more they felt like their senses were disappearing.

In fact, some of those Masters that were closer to the explosion didn't move in time and were even swallowed inside that mist.

The powerhouses outside didn't know how to handle this case, while that thick mist made them a bit uncomfortable, Tianlong Yun's death was still unconfirmed.

While none of them believed that he had any chance of survival, they were all old fogies, and they had enough experience of calling someone dead only after they had seen the corpse.

It was precisely for that reason that they were in a big dilemma at the moment about what to do from that moment on.

'AAhh~!'

As they were caught up in the dilemma about what to do though, they heard a faint painful moan, that made them raise their guards even more towards that weird mist.

Why!?

This damn this mist covered their senses almost perfectly, when even their senses were blocked then what about their noise, and sounds.

And yet, even in such a situation, they were able to hear that faint painful moan from inside the unknown mist, didn't this mean that the disturbance was just too big at that moment.

This meant that the only reason why they were able to hear that thing, was because the person inside the mist had suffered a wretched death, and he had screamed like a madman.

Even in that case, they had only been able to sense and hear a small painful moan, making them even more afraid for this damn mist in front of them.

First things first, at the moment the best thing they could do was try their best and distance their selves from the mist.

They couldn't act rashly, they had to take an approach of wait and see at the moment and act only when they understood what was going on.

Deciding like that, a large part of them made a move backward distancing their selves quite a bit from the mist, when suddenly a black shadow pierced through the mist and followed behind them.

In that paradise of white, it was impossible to not see that shadow of pure and pitch-black pierce out, and follow them, as a lot of those old bones felt like their life was in danger.

They were all startled at that moment, as that black thing appeared just too suddenly, so they didn't have any time to think about it, as they all tried to defend their necks.

In fact, for a few of them was even subconscious action as they seriously felt something endangering their lives.

None of them was a normal figure, and yet at that moment, they felt like their life was hanging only to a suspicious thin thread.

Even then quite a few of them weren't lucky enough to survive, as something hit them from behind, and removed their heads from their shoulders.

In just one swing of the sword that black shadow had managed to cut 7 heads, and each of those guys who could no longer breath was a powerhouse in their own right.

One had to know that growing a powerhouse up to Boundary Ascension Realm upper level, and even more so for those on the Great Boundary Ascension Realm wasn't easy.

Only one in one million people would probably have that luck and right, that was considering the rest of the planet Earth.

Since on earth the mortal clueless people were in larger numbers then all the training resources were embezzled by the powerful groups, and that ratio dropped when one considered only people with strength.

While outside Earth the whole population had knowledge on cultivation and could try to cultivate, on Earth only a distinguished class of people could do something like that.

Even at that moment, that they had destroyed the barrier, there had been no more than 30 true powerhouses, the rest were just pricey cannon fodder.

Yet with just one swing that shadow had managed to reduce the fighting force of these guys by about 1/3 which was incredible.

Seven powerhouses had just died like that, as they could only 'see' their heads leave their bodies, and their souls tried to make an escape.

But none of them could, nor their bodies, nor their souls, as they were completely swallowed by that black shadow like it was picking up snacks on the way.

After cutting through the defense skills of 7 powerhouses though, even that shadow's swing had no other choice but to stop, as its energy was exhausted.

The rest of the crowd weren't able to believe their eyes, and their senses, a single swing to cut through seven powerhouses defenses wasn't that just overpowered.

Even though it was a defense system put up rashly it was still 7 powerhouses one after the other. Just what kind of stupid and senseless situation was this.

Not to mention that the black shadow didn't seem to have any intention of letting them catch a breath, as after the first came the second swing.

The strength of the second swing was in no way less than the first one, and in fact, it looked like it might even be a bit stronger.

Just what kind of overpowered bullshit joke was this!?

But they had no time to ponder about it at the moment, the only thing they could do was try to work with each other and try to protect their selves from the second swing.

If they were a close-knit bunch, hailing from the same organization, and having a pretty good understanding, and collaboration they might have worked together to block the shadows swing.

But they weren't, so faced with such a disaster in front of them, and seeing that their defenses weren't that useful against that swing, they did the next best thing running through their head.

Escape!

As long as they were able to dodge that swing, and escape they would be able to hold on to their lives. As long as there was green, there was hope.

They would be able to do something about this oddity only if they were able to escape this place alive, the moment they died everything else would be useless.

Since there were a lot of them, they thought that as long as they pick a different direction from the others, and that shadow is unable to capture them, then they had a chance.

For that reason, when the second swing of that damned sword rained upon them, none of them dared to raise their defenses together and defend anymore.

Each and every one of them picked a direction and decided to run in that direction without turning their head back, even if they died they didn't dare to look back at how they died.

The situation of a moment ago was just extremely weird for them, as this was the first time after a long time that most of them were sensing death knock on their door.

As they run away a lot of them were able to hear painful screams of pain and unwillingness to die, but none of them turned their head behind to see what was happening.

They didn't dare to do such a thing, as it was tantamount to surrendering their lives, completely opposing to the reason why they were running away like coward rats in the first place.

On the other hand, seeing them run away like coward rats for their lives, that black shadow stopped on its tracks, as it started screaming in pain.

"AAAGGGGHHHH~!"

One look at the stagnant black shadow was enough for anyone to understand that it was none other than Tianlong Yun in his true form, only that now there was a black gas leaking out of his body continuously.

Not only that, but even his flames, his scales, his wings, his horns had taken a truly weird and enchanting black shade, that would make anyone look at him in a daze.

But that didn't matter anymore, as Tianlong Yun screech and scream of pain was able to awaken every one of that daze.

It seemed like that screech of pain it was able to make even the souls feel terrified of what he might be going through.

Tianlong Yun was in extreme pain, even though his journey towards cultivation until now hadn't been a sea breeze, and he had passed quite a few difficult moments.

This was nothing compared to them, he could feel that not only his body, but even his Qi-body, and his soul was being attacked by thousands of little insects.

Pinching, piercing, biting making him feel like each and every one of them would ruin him totally. It seemed like the goal of these damn things was to eat him until the last tiny particle.

He was in so much pain that he should have already passed out, but the truth was that since even his soul was being affected, he was continuously passing out, and getting conscious.

His painful screech was so loud and so painful that it could even tremble the Heavens, as he could only scream, and scream like a madman.

Probably for the first time in this life he thought that perhaps it would be better for him to stop existing…
