Chapter 43 Chaos

In the cave Bai Ming sat with his legs crossed, he took out some more healing pills and scattered them around him. Next, he moved his finger and tapped multiple spots on his chest. Every time his finger touched his chest, there was a ripple of spiritual energy on his finger.

Slowly, as his hand began to move faster and faster, spots of light suddenly appeared on Bai Ming's chest. These spots of light came from inside Bai Ming's body.

The spots rapidly increased and formed the shape of a crimson leaf. Bai Ming placed his hands on each side of his chest, and swiftly pushed them out.

Those light points swiftly moved out of his body. The lights intertwined into the shape of a crimson leaf and looked as if they were rapidly leaving his body. Until the lights were floating three inches outside of his body.

Bai Ming's eyes lit up. He quickly slapped the ground below, the red leaf trembled violently before flashing a few times, the restriction quickly sunk into the ground and disappeared

A soft cry resounded, a blood sphere with numerous leaf patterns appeared, the blood color sphere was only two meters wide, and Bai Ming was the only person inside it.

"Good, the 2nd tier spiritual healing formation has been set up, In about five minutes I should be able to recover 50-60% of my strength back. Now there are only eight minutes left for the flame refinement to be completed...Okay, but for some reason, they still haven't made a move against me." Bai Ming took a deep breath, as he cycled his spiritual energy through his body and through his core to repair the injuries on his body. He felt the rich amount of medicinal essence nourishing his injuries and breathing life into them, it was a wonderful feeling.

Cold light filled Bai Ming's eyes, and he quickly sent out a dozen strands of his divine senses outside, towards the direction of the purple barrier.

The purple barrier soundlessly vanished upon the contact with Bai Ming's divine sense, before the rest of his divine sense continued to move along the dark tunnel.

"Careful three peak spirit realm martial artists along with thirteen core formation realm bugs are heading this way." Huang Long's cold voice suddenly resounded in both Li Wei and Li jun's minds.

"Let them come, we will crush them like the ants they are. Wei'er don't let your guard down, I am in a crucial period of refining. The asura will follow your mental commands, I cannot divert any more of my thoughts." Li jun spoke in a deep voice.

"Teacher, you focus on the refinement process, as for those intruders leave it to me." Li Wei spoke, her tone filled with seriousness and unwavering confidence.

Woosh! Woosh!

At this moment several figures flew out of the underground passage and entered the inheritance ground, but once they entered the barriers behind them automatically reconstructed. Various divine senses quickly scanned the 1600-meter enclosure.

"It's the earth vein! I knew it, no wonder the entirety of Xuan mountain was affected."

"We have to put a stop to this madness, kill them and prevent disaster."

"Where are the other elders? have these demonic scoundrels already killed them!"

Few of the elders had grim expressions, while others were burning in rage. This was a matter that concerned their villages and their homes there was no way in hell they would let others put a scratch on it, much less annihilate it. It was just unacceptable!

But right now, there were exactly four people who had something else on their mind, they were none other than Ye Qing Han and three ye clan elders.

They stared at the red barrier at one of the ends of the underground cave, thinking in their minds 'What is he doing here??'

Bai Ming instantly received four divine sense transmissions, their words were filled with doubts and suspension. The clan head was even slightly angered, his voice was cold and strict when he questioned Bai Ming. But Bai Ming was silent, his head down looking at the ground below.

But their expressions changed once again when they saw Bai Ming staring back at them with endless tears rolling down his bloodshot eyes while tightly clenching his teeth, he flawlessly displayed pain, sadness, shame, and guilt before it turned into that of utter despair and helplessness. Along with the numerous wounds on his young body, his pathetic image was directly imprinted in their minds.

Ye Qing Han's expression turned a shade darker, an exceedingly bad feeling birthed in his heart. He anxiously questioned Bai Ming again, but this time he didn't use his divine sense, instead, he shouted loudly.

Bai Ming sobbed uncontrollably, every time he wanted to say something his words were stuck in his mouth. Qing Han lost his patience and rapidly flew toward Bai Ming.

Li Wei gave a cold snort before commanding the eight-armed asura to attack the invaders. As she sat cross-legged recovering her spiritual essence, previously there was only 1% spiritual essence in her but within dozen seconds her spiritual essence storage had reached 5% already, this was because she wasn't just a regular cultivator, she was born with an ancient false yin physique. This is somewhat a rare physique, females born with it do not have the ability to cultivate the ice path from their awakening, but are 10 times more suited to tread on the path of ice than regular martial artists. Both their cultivation speed and recovery speed is ten times faster than regular people. But of course, there were also some limitations that came inherently with this physique, their affinity with other elements would be 10 times worse than regular cultivators.

Boom!

A sonic boom was heard as the demonic asura dashed toward Ye Qing han with astonishing speed.

The ye clan head was extremely shocked by the asura's display of agility, he quickly unsheathed his sword as he sent a horrific sword ray.

The asura punched out with two of its hands, and with a loud explosion, the sword ray was easily destroyed, while the asura was unscathed it continued to charge toward him.

Ye Qing Han's eyes shone with coldness, he swiftly retreated toward the group. The asura closely followed behind him, its hands were just inches away from capturing Qing Han.

The group of villagers quickly gained a surface-level understanding of the asura's strength, they hurriedly sent a volley of attacks toward the asura. Using this chance the Qing Han was able to safely regroup with his allies.

The group of cultivators had solemn expressions, the asura's strength was much more horrific than what they expected, then there were also two more cultivators who had yet to interfere.

Whole two minutes of intense battle had passed, and two of the core formation realm martial artists had already died. Qing Han and the group's situation was turning even more desperate now, they had intentions of secretly attacking Li Wei and li jun but now that thought was blown up in smoke.

Like this, another two minutes passed, and five more core formation experts had died now, but to be precise they were burnt alive.

'Only four more minutes before he completely refines the essence flame, the time is about to be ripe, let them become more desperate.' Bai Ming secretly thought, he once again glanced at the battlefield, just a dozen meters away from him Li Wei was sitting cross-legged, her divine sense was firmly locked on Bai Ming, the moment he makes a move she will be able to react quickly. Li Wei had already recovered 80% of her spiritual essence.

Bai Ming had discarded the possibility of him escaping right under Li Wei's watch, currently he had only recovered 40% of his strength back, and with his measly strength, he knew he could not run away from Li Wei.

During this period of time, he secretly made a few arrangements, he also had an assumption about who that senior was, he noticed Li Wei's gaze would occasionally shift from the battlefield to her teacher and then toward the statue of the old man, and this made him increasingly suspicious. Then when Bai Ming considered the fact they had kept him alive, his mind wandered thinking of the different possibilities. He had come to a few conclusions, maybe they wanted to use his body for some kind of refinement, or they wanted to take him as a slave, or maybe that senior is trapped inside that statue and now needs a new body. He had a few other assumptions, but he couldn't confirm them.

Another long minute passed, the group of cultivators looked extremely pathetic at the moment. All the core formation realm experts were dead, and the spirit realm cultivators looked like they would join them soon.

Boom!!

A thunderous explosion was heard, as for the first time since the beginning of the battle, asura had taken a dozen steps back.

"Huff, huff, huff!"

The Ye, Song, and Luo clan heads were breathing roughly.

"We just used our strongest moves together, but were only able to make it take a few steps back." The Luo clan head spoke in a low tone.

"Damn it! we can't even defeat this creature, how are we going to kill those two!" The song clan head felt both anger and helplessness at the same time.

"We cannot win.." Qing Han paused before continuing "There is no point in continuing this, let's retreat."

"Retreat? where are we going to retreat to? Huh, who knows when this mountain is going to collapse.." The song clan head immediately spoke, staring daggers at Qing Han.

"Then what do you want us to do, fight to the death? Will that help, if we retreat now we can probably evacuate our clansman before the mountain collapses, but if we fight to the death do you really think even one person from your village is going to survive!" Qing Han spoke with much anger, he was also unwilling, but he didn't have a choice. The enemy was too powerful.

The three of them fell silent, and after hardening their hearts, they finally decided to retreat. But little did they know that the entire mountain would collapse in just about three minutes and their action of retreating would amount to nothing.

But just when they were about to retreat, they heard Bai Ming screaming his lungs out "What is the use of retreating? are you thinking of saving the people in the village, it is futile. The refinement of the flame will be over in about a minute and the entire mountain will collapse before you could even break the barrier and go back, there is no use in going to the village now, and even if you stop the refinement what's the use? There is not a single soul left in the village, everyone was brought here using the formation and sacrificed to nourish that purple flame. Hahaha, everyone was killed! everyone! men, women, and even children were not spared! All of them were burnt alive and I couldn't even die alongside them! if you are going to fucking run away, then at least kill me! I beg of you please! Ahhhhhh!! I want to kill them!! I! Want! to! Fucking! Kill! them!!!" Bai Ming was barking like a mad dog, he was even standing on four of his limbs resembling a dog. Savagery and insanity had taken over him.

The three clan heads suddenly turned into sculptures, they stood motionless like corpses. Bai Ming's heartless lies made their soul burn, their eyes even lost their luster for a moment. But they quickly began to refuse Bai Ming's words, why should they believe his words? But when they stared at Bai Ming, a 14-year-old young kid who had gone insane. They knew deep inside, it was true.

The three clan heads stood silently, forget about them even the people who knew the truth were flabbergasted by Bai Ming's antics.

Li Wei even had suspicions that Bai Ming had cultivated some forbidden emotion path arts.

The three clan heads were still standing aimlessly, there were completely defenseless. All kinds of negative emotions assaulted them. They might be the great clan heads of their respective villages, but in the end, they were humans with emotions after all.

Li Wei quickly recovered from her stupor, this was a golden opportunity for her to kill them.

But would Bai Ming let her have this opportunity, definitely not!

Bai Ming spoke once again, but this time using his divine sense. Bai Ming's sinister voice resounded in their minds "Don't you desire revenge...then self-detonate!!"
