The Sacred Ruins Chapter 792 - Divine Shot

Chapter 792: Divine Shot

Translator: Alsey Editor: Chrissy

Pu Lin appeared indignant and looked as though he wanted to kill Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng. Yet deep down, he was so excited that he was almost s.h.i.+vering. It was unexpected that those two ghostly slaves could actually ascend up the crimson peak and collect the holy medicine. This was a golden opportunity bestowed by the heavens, and those medicines were destined to be his!

It didn’t matter even if he was chastised by his uppers, who thought that he wasn’t fulfilling his duty enough when patrolling the medicinal gardens. Everything would be worth it if the holy medicine, and the divine beast blood were secretly left behind.

“Don’t let a single one escape. Chase those yin spirits for me. They dare to betray me, they’re just slaves I reduced to submission!” Pu Lin ordered, pressing his mount to pursue them.

He was wearing a hauberk and his whole body was s.h.i.+ning brightly. He held a dagger-axe in his hand as he rode upon a blue-eyed Fiery beast, whose talons were razor sharp. Frightening marks appeared every time it landed on the ground with the rocks almost shattering.

“Charge!” Pu Lin charged at the front.

Behind him, five thousand cavalries came roaring. The humans screamed and the beasts howled as the dense plane of armor soared with vigor. The torrential Yang qi surged upward, shaking this desolate plateau.

Chu Feng, Ying Zhexian, Ouyang Feng, the silver-haired loli, and the others were suffering a terrifying coercion. Despite the scarlet vigor being quite far away from them, it still made them jittery and tight-chested. It shook their souls as innately they were suppressed.

Roar!

At the rear, the people shouted and the beasts roared. The vigor of five thousand cavalries joined together and swatted forward like a scarlet wave.

With a bang, the wasteland trembled, as though rocked by a major disaster. The earth creviced and boulders burst open.

“d.a.m.n it!”

Ouyang Feng bellowed. Just then, the surging wave-like vigor had almost struck his body. All the same, his body emitted a green smoke. He scoffed as he was partly scorched.

The only thing to rejoice about was that they all possessed incredible speed. Not to mention Chu Feng had mastered the ancient divine techniques the World’s End Near at Hand.

And now, Ouyang Feng had evolved into a form that resembled a black swan. When he flapped his wings, he was as fast as lightning and even Chu Feng was unlikely to chase up to him if he didn’t use all his might.

Ying Zhexian was also quite spectacular. Her family studied origins and had acc.u.mulated secret techniques over the generations. Naturally, she possessed exceptional divine techniques and sped along with her younger sister like a beam of red light.

“Find someone to share the burden of the damage!” Chu Feng muttered in a low voice.

Ying Zhexian and Ouyang Feng nodded. In a split second, they dashed off in one direction. The glow of their spirits was blazing and emitting a gorgeous multi-colored rain of light. They quickly disappeared.

They were pursuing the Winged G.o.dhead, the Immortal Destiny Physique, and the purple-haired youngster. In this way, they, too, were under the suppression of the torrenting valor behind them.

“Despicable! Shameless!”

The Winged G.o.dhead couldn’t help but curse at them. He could sense that the situation was extremely disastrous, and this was evidently forming a sign that the three of them would also be chased by the great cavalry army.

However, they hadn’t even touched a single leaf of the holy medicine and hadn’t smelt the odor of the divine beast blood. Furthermore, one of their comrades had died for no reason and now they were actually being perceived as Chu Feng’s allies. They felt incredibly wronged.

Chu Feng and the others were not the slightest bit sympathetic as they hated these three individuals. How dare they pick peaches midway, waiting and ambus.h.i.+ng them at the foot of the mountain. It was simply aggravating and loathsome. They deserved to die!

Behind them, there was the howl of the ferocious beasts. The five thousand cavalries rushed wildly, violently shaking the ground like a huge earthquake.

Their omnipresent fury was most terrifying, as well as ocean-like valor, which came surging frantically. The situation became increasingly dreadful and desperate.

The Winged G.o.dhead, the Immortal Destiny Physique, and the purple-haired youngster were in utter rage. Behind them, Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng were glued onto them like dogskin plaster. They were set on sharing the damage with them.

At this moment, the three people muttered in a low voice. After a series of discussions, they decided to change directions and secretly communicate telepathically with Pu LIn, informing him that this matter had nothing to do with them.

The three people didn’t want to be pursued. They were hoping that Chu Feng and the others would continue to attract firepower, therefore, they explained themselves surrept.i.tiously. Then they ran off in one direction, hoping that Chu Feng and the others would become targeted.

Pu Lin wasn’t inexperienced, either, and laughed heartily upon receiving the telepathic communications. He yelled, “I’ll believe you if you three attack them at once and block their path for me!”

Behind him, the wasteland was ruined from the armored horses’ trodding and rolling with smoke signals.

Having heard what was said, Chu Feng’s thoughts spun rapidly. He shouted, “You purple-haired, how d.a.m.n untasteful you are. You three have forked away almost half of the divine beast blood, and now you’re trying to say you’re innocent and have nothing to do with the matter? Are you trying to take advantage of the chaos and escape?”

Upon hearing this, the three people’s countenance immediately turned white. They felt incessantly furious within their hearts.

This was simply an accusation they couldn’t disprove and would become turn despite not being so. The three were indignant, and no matter what they said, it would be of no use. They were already made off to be their a.s.sociates, and the Little n.o.ble G.o.d Pu Lin behind them was certainly not anyone benevolent. He would definitely rather kill someone wrongly rather than let them go.

“Chu Feng, how wanton you are. The divine beast blood is obviously on your body. Are you trying to s.h.i.+ft the blame?” The Winged G.o.dhead bellowed.

In any case, he must make his att.i.tude clear to explain to the great cavalry army behind them.

Ouyang Feng scolded, “The Winged G.o.dhead, you rascal. Give the old man the holy medicine; you even s.n.a.t.c.hed my share of it. One person having two shares, how inhumane?!”

The silver-haired loli argued noisily and said, “Exactly. You purple-haired fellow, you seized my holy medicine. You’re not a fine person!”

“The Winged G.o.dhead, I believe you three. Stop them for me!” Pu Lin yelled from behind, wearing a chilling smile. As long as those up ahead incited fierce battle, then none of them would be able to escape. Who cared if they were a.s.sociates or not, he was going to capture them all!

The faces of the Winged G.o.dhead, the Immortal Destiny Physique, and the purple-haired youngster dulled. How could they dare stop? They were fully aware that once captured, their consequences were definitely dire.

Ouyang shouted and said, “You three rascals, do you dare stop us? You yourselves s.n.a.t.c.hed away two holy medicines and forked away 60% of the divine beast blood. You should be guilty!”

The three people in front turned ashen. The black swan was splas.h.i.+ng dirty water at them while ridiculing them. It was provoking and enraging, and they were desperate to flay him.

“Chi!”

It was at this time that a horrifying arrow streaked through the sky. It had a terrifying radiance and was steaming with raging flames as it shot toward the middle of Chu Feng’s back.

The G.o.d-like archer amongst the cavalry had begun to attack!

Chu Feng’s body became taut. During high-speed s.h.i.+fting, he had experienced some sort of illusion as though he had encountered death. His entire body was ice-cold. He sensed that this arrow was formidable as it had rich Yang qi.

He was changing positions rapidly, but this arrow was changing directions, too. It came charging like a resplendent sun and brought a majestic aura.

“Be careful for me, don’t shoot him dead just in case it destroys the holy medicines and the divine beast blood. That would be a deadly sin!” Pu Yin shrieked. He was even more anxious than Chu Feng and, to one’s surprise was, worried for his death.

In Chu Feng’s ear, this was greatly humiliating. They were simply despising them.

However, the arrow was indeed rather terrifying!

During the brink of crisis, Chu Feng evaded the arrow, but the horrifying Yang qi that brushed past him was like a divine branding iron. It burnt his spirit beam so much that his body produced a chi-chi sound and a great puff of green smoke rose up. Furthermore “soul blood” overflowed from his mouth.

In this part of the universe, a spirit like his was in extremely dire conditions.

A golden-arhat level expert had shot only one arrow and almost destroyed him!

Nevermind Chu Feng himself, even his three enemies the Winged G.o.dhead, the Immortal Destiny Physique, and the purple-haired youngster felt a chill within their hearts. In the face of the cavalry’s attacks, they were just too weak.

“Are you okay?” Ouyang Feng said in a low voice. His countenance was also extremely unsightly and he reckoned they would be killed if this continued!

Pu Lin smiled and said, “Very good, as long as you don’t shoot him dead. I’ll have ten great G.o.d-like archers attack and burn these ghostly slaves with Yang qi for me!”

In an instant, ten G.o.d-like archers amongst the cavalry soared into the air. They each aimed their bows at those fleeing ahead.

In the sky, it was like ten ancient ferocious beasts and divine divine birds had been resurrected. They gave off a frightening aura and extremely Yang energy pervaded, spreading everywhere.

The ten great G.o.d-like archers were all golden-arhat leveled and were of the same standard as the person who had shot the arrow just then. Hitting the spirit of Ouyang Feng and the others would cause them to explode without any hesitation!

“Chu Feng and Ouyang Feng, my two Yin spirit slaves, are you still trying to run? If you kneel for me now, I’ll spare you from death.” Pu Lin sneered. The sound waves from his consciousness were strong and boomed throughout the sky. He said threateningly, “If you dare resist me, I’ll kill all of you!”

He already knew their real names, and with a wave of his hand, the ten great G.o.d-like archers in the sky became bright and resplendent. Their bows were drawn into the shape of a full moon and their arrows were gaudy.

Ouyang Feng screamed, “Pu Lin, don’t you think your Divine King was threatened through his childhood? Come, if you dare release your arrows, I’ll dare to shatter the spatial bracelet and destroy the holy medicines and the divine beast blood inside.”

“I will not be threatened. Release the arrows!” Pu Lin shouted.

In actuality, he was feeling incomparably nervous. He was truly afraid that Ouyang Feng would lose his mind and destroy that spatial bracelet, thereby creating a great explosion.

But he really didn’t want to be intimidated. He was worried that they would be emboldened from this and break away from his grasp.

Chi! Chi! Chi! Chi…

Beams of terrifying divine rainbows flew up in the sky with long flicking tails. They illuminated the vast plains like comets pa.s.sing through the sky.

It was superbly splendid. The ten arrows were exceptionally gaudy and were burning with scary Yang qi.

“Older sister!” Ying Xiaoxiao cried out in fear as she saw that when Ying Zhexian dodged a divine arrow with her, the arrow too changed directions and was interrupted in its pursuit of them.

Bang!

In the end, Ying Zhexian brandished a divine multi-colored radiance and forcefully changed the arrow’s direction. But her own multi-colored radiance flew up in a rain of light with a ‘chi’ sound as part of it was scorched. Her spirit was damaged and she had lost quite a lot of her spiritual energy.

“I’m fine!” Ying Zhexian responded.

Then her glance grew chilling. She turned her head and saw the great army behind and shouted to Ouyang Feng and Chu Feng, “Use the spatial bracelet as a s.h.i.+eld and shoot them dead. It’s fine if we are crushed along with the holy medicines and the divine beast blood!”

She had already taken out her spatial bracelet and used it to s.h.i.+eld herself.

On the other side, Ouyang Feng was crying out loudly. He was in a dead-end from the pursuing and he grew wild upon hearing Ying Zhexian’s words. He placed his spatial bracelet in front of his body.

If the opponent dared to shoot him, he would certainly die. Of course, the holy medicines and the divine beast blood would also be reduced to ashes.

Pu Lin was startled and secretively transmitted to the G.o.d-like archers. He said, “Keep away from him, don’t shoot the spatial bracelet!”

For anyone else, it would’ve been too difficult. After all, the arrow had already been shot. But these G.o.d-like archers had adhered a strand of their spirit onto the arrow and so it could change its direction.

Chi!

An arrow soared into the sky and brushed against the side of Ouyang Feng’s body, igniting that side of his body. It was so painful he cried out and hurried to extinguish the Yang qi flames.

“Rascal, how dare you continue shooting?!” Ouyang Feng shouted.

At this moment, Chu Feng and Ying Zhexian had also held their spatial bracelets and used them as s.h.i.+elds.

They had momentarily broken away from the a.s.sault, but the Winged G.o.dhead, the Immortal Destiny Physique, and the purple-haired youngster were, on the other hand, in immense pain. They didn’t have any spatial bracelets and couldn’t threaten the opponents to hold back from damaging anything.

Pop!

The purple-haired youngster cried out miserably as an arrow struck his palm. His palm immediately exploded, and his whole arm was reduced to ashes, completely burnt on the spot.

This shocked everyone. That golden-arhat leveled G.o.d-like archer was indeed terrifying. His arrow had only made slight contact with the body, yet it was so destructive!

“The Immortal Destiny Physique, can’t you use your Immortal Destiny Light? Take us away, otherwise, we’re going to die!” the Winged G.o.dhead consulted with him in a low voice.

“After using it, I will be incredibly weak for a long period of time and anybody could take my life.” The Immortal Destiny Physique sighed, but he didn’t have any other options now.

The Winged G.o.dhead and the purple-haired youngster quickly swore that they would protect him.

Buzz!

As the G.o.d-like archer released his arrow once again, the Immortal Destiny Physique broke out in a wide stretch of light rain. The other two people had been transformed into a beam of light and was inside as they rapidly vanished from the horizon.

This speed was too extreme and even a quasi-sage would be unlikely to catch up to it!

“Oh no, those three rascals have escaped and we can’t distribute the damages now,” Ouyang Feng said strangely.

Pu Lin’s face grew ashen. Three of those that he regarded prey, offerings that he had wanted to present to the Valkyrie, had actually managed to escape. This upset him greatly, and in hopes of intimidating Chu Feng and the others, he said, “It doesn’t matter, just shoot one dead for me first. Someone like me will not be threatened, so let’s see how you guys can stay strong-willed!”

In an instant, the ten great G.o.d-like archers took their aim at Chu Feng, Ying Zhexian, and Ouyang Feng.

“Shoot the bird first. Thinking it’s some Jun Tuo big-shot, but now who cares, kill them!” Pun Lin demanded.

“Pun Lin you rascal! You’re the son of a Jun Tuo, no, you’re his grandson!” At such a moment, Ouyang Feng still had the leisure to be infuriated. He was also fl.u.s.tered and exasperated.

“Come over here!” Chu Feng called out to Ouyang Feng. He had already produced a spirit bell and was using it to protect himself.

Then he also hinted at Ying Zhexian for the two sisters to quickly join them under the spirit bell.

In an instant, the big black spirit bell was enveloping them. Chu Feng used his powers, and as the light of his spirit flickered, the big bell issued long drawn out bell sounds. It shattered the air as they moved at an extreme speed.

Ying Zhexian said in a quiet voice, “Run in the direction the Winged G.o.dhead departed in. Yesterday they were chased by the cavalry but had successfully escaped from the great army. Perhaps they have found a terrain advantageous for fleeing.”

At the same time, she hesitated slightly. At last, she was determined and informed Chu Feng that she was going to use a prohibited technique to help him. But because of this, her vitals would be greatly damaged and she would depend on their protection following this.

“Fairy, don’t worry. You are Chu Feng’s dao companion so you’re my… younger sibling. We will look after you as well as the little loli!” Ouyang Feng started talking and almost said Chu Feng’s dao companions were his companions, too.

At such a moment Ying Zhexian didn’t bother refuting him.

Chi!

There was a flash of multi-colored light as she used a technique as powerful as the ten ultimate techniques. Once fully perfected, this was an unrivaled ability.

Now, she had only mastered a bit of it and had met all of the practicing requirements.

In no time, the entire spirit bell issued a divine multi-colored light. It was like they weren’t even in the five elements and were detached from the world of mortals. Fleeing at the speed of light, they disappeared from the end of the horizon.

Excitedly, Ouyang Feng said, “Amazing. We’ve finally broken off from those cavalry rascals. Let’s immediately consume the holy medicines and bathe in the divine beast blood before we go back and settle accounts with that b.a.s.t.a.r.d!”

Actual Author’s Note:

A reader has mentioned that in the last chapter it was a bit unreasonable that the Winged G.o.dhead could climb mountains and disregard domains. My response is that they must not have read it carefully. I wrote that Chu Feng could climb the mountain by using the light of their spirits to control the Cold Lizard. Their real spirits hadn’t ascended. When their real spirits had obtained the holy medicines and the divine beast blood the Cold Lizard had clearly returned and merged together with their real spirits. This was all at the foot of the mountain. It was then that they were ambushed.
