Chapter 442: Black Mist Dispersed!

Chapter 442: Black Mist Dispersed!

Slowly, two hours passed, and the lantern oil was about to run out.

Dongfang Haojie felt immense heartache; this was his essence and blood after all.

"No, I have to ask that person what methods he has to deal with the threat outside!"

With that thought in mind, Dongfang Haojie scanned his surroundings and when he saw that the members of the Fang Family were still surrounding Fang Chen tightly, a hint of confusion rose in his heart.

"Brother, can you ask your family member what he's doing?" Dongfang Haojie held the Dragon Bones Heavenly Lantern and didn't dare to move around randomly. He could only ask Fang Xiu who was nearby.

Fang Xiu’s expression turned strange as he shook his head lightly without answering.

Unwilling to give up, Dongfang Haojie asked another member of the Fang Family, but he got the same response. Whenever someone tried to approach them to see Fang Chen, they would be stopped by Fang Wanli.

"What exactly is Fang Chen doing!?"

"He's just playing tricks. At this point, what tricks can he have as a Qi Refining Realm disciple? Haven't you seen that those Golden Core Realm ancestors are helpless and trapped here just like us?"

Everyone whispered amongst themselves, but more were closing their eyes to rest; they knew that the Dragon Bones Heavenly Lantern wouldn't last much longer and they would be in for a tough battle.

"Junior Sister, after the effect of the lantern wears off, I will take action against those three grand completion stage Golden Core Realm ancestors. With the cooperation of other Golden Core Realm cultivators, I can buy us some time. Try your best to escape to the outer capital. If you can hold on until the formation here breaks, report this matter to the sect. The Spirit Blood Sect will pay a heavy price for this incident," said the female sword cultivator with a dark tone as she transmitted her voice.

“Senior Sister, do you have any chance of winning against those three grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivators?” Fairy Yu asked seriously.

The female sword cultivator pondered and said, "Only a one percent chance."

Fairy Yu sighed inwardly. That's almost no chance at all.

She knew how sword cultivators were. If a sword cultivator thought there was only a one percent chance of winning, it meant there was no chance at all.

"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Let's wait a little longer. Maybe there will be a turning point," Fairy Yu advised through voice transmission.

She believed that Fang Chen had already taken action and was working hard on this matter. The Dragon Bones Heavenly Lantern was proof of that. Without the lantern, she couldn't imagine what the situation in Grand Qian would be like now.

At the same time, Qian Wuji and the other two's expressions changed as they saw a Golden Core Realm cultivator hastily returning from outside.

"We're being assassinated!" shouted the early-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator as he escaped.

If the odds of winning were zero previously, she now felt that there was truly a chance of winning. After all, they still had an unidentified expert who could hunt down early stage Golden Core Realm cultivators.

One of the Golden Core Realm cultivators in the grand completion stage frowned. "Shouldn't we send someone out to take a look?"

Qian Wuji and another person remained silent.

Send someone out?

Their opponent's strength was unknown. Who knew what methods he had at his disposal? If things went south, it would greatly affect the current situation.

Qian Wuji said coldly, "No need, let's control this place. It doesn't matter even if the Kunlong Battle General scolds us."

Another grand completion stage Golden Core Realm cultivator nodded in agreement. "Yes, after Kunlong Battle General deals with those three Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, we will still have a winning situation!"

After a brief communication, they fell silent and stared at Fang Wanli and the others with eyes as cold as venomous snakes.

Seeing that Qian Wuji and the others didn't send anyone out of the hunting ground, Fang Wanli and the others breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless, the situation should be good now. With that mysterious expert around, the Blood Spirit Sect's Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators were like cannon fodder.

Another two hours passed in what felt like an eternity for everyone.

The fluctuation of the Dragon Bones Heavenly Lantern became irregular. Qian Wuji noticed this and smiled. "Your lantern is almost out of oil, right?"

Fang Wanli and the others became nervous. Even though Fang Tingjian's terrifying wounds had healed over these hours of rest, his complexion was still pale, indicating that he hadn't fully recovered yet.

Now, their combat strength was only a fraction of what it was at its peak.

"Who told you it's almost out?" said Dongfang Haojie as he glared at Qian Wuji. He spat out ten drops of essence blood in front of everyone and dropped them into the Dragon Bones Heavenly Lantern.

The green light stabilized once again.

When everyone saw that, they were surprised. They quickly undetsood why Fang Chen had entrusted the lantern to Dongfang Haojie.

Qian Wuji and the others frowned slightly. "What kind of constitution does Dongfang Haojie have? His blood actually has such miraculous effects? No wonder Kunlong Battle General couldn't poison him."

When Dongfang Haojie saw Fairy Tianyin looking at him in surprise, he said with a pale and weak smile, "Fairy Tianyin, I will protect you. I won't let you be met with trouble."

As soon as he finished speaking, a loud roar echoed, and then the black mist completely dispersed....
