Chapter 879 Fighting 'young master Zhong' (3)
As the black skeleton's dark-red greatsword arced downwards, hundreds of thin, black-colored qi strands suddenly emerged from the gigantic sword's edge, before they flew straight towards the adult-sized wind blades that were about to land on Bai Longtian.
In the next moment, the space within Jiang Chen's 'Kingdom of Darkness' was filled with unending explosions, as the hundreds of adult-sized wind blades collided directly with the black-colored qi strands!
BOOOOM!!!
BOOOOM!!!
BOOOOM!!!
It wasn't just Bai Longtian who was stunned from the scene that unfolded next, but so was 'young master Zhong' who had just unleashed his attack, as well as Jiang Chen and Xingyi who were watching everything from the distance!
The power within each of 'young master Zhong's' wind blades was undoubtedly terrifying and was more than enough to tear any average peak rank 6 Dao King to shreds, but the black-colored strands of sword qi didn't seem any weaker at all, as they met the wind blades head-on, painting a breathtaking scene.
The strands made from the black skeleton's sword qi seemed to be evenly matched against 'young master Zhong's' wind blades as they nullified each other, leaving Bai Longtian, Jiang Chen, and Xingyi, at a loss for words, before they all turned their gazes towards Liu Mei in surprise.
Naturally, the 3 of them all understood who the skeleton's master really was, but even though they all knew that this black skeleton was incomparably stronger compared to Liu Mei's normal skeletons, they hadn't expected it to be this monstrously strong, to the point where it could even block the attack of an early rank 9 Dao King like 'young master Zhong'! After all, just like Liu Mei, the black skeleton king's cultivation was also at the early rank 7 of the Dao King realm, and yet it seemed to be successfully defending against the attack of an early rank 9 Dao King like 'young master Zhong', all by itself!
Even if 'young master Zhong' was injured after getting hit by Bai Longtian's sword thrust earlier, he was still a powerful early rank 9 Dao King and his attack shouldn't have been something that Liu Mei's black skeleton could block!
At the same time, although he couldn't extend his soul sense too far from his body, the luxuriously dressed 'young master Zhong' could clearly sense that someone or something had appeared in the distance ahead and was now fending off the majority of his wind blades, leaving him completely dumbfounded before an expression of shock covered his face.
And yet, the scene that was unfolding in front of everyone's eyes was precisely this one!
..
At the same time, although he couldn't extend his soul sense too far from his body, the luxuriously dressed 'young master Zhong' could clearly sense that someone or something had appeared in the distance ahead and was now fending off the majority of his wind blades, leaving him completely dumbfounded before an expression of shock covered his face.
After all, even though these wind blades didn't originate from a martial skill and were nothing more than a casual attack of his, they were still an attack from an early-rank 9 Dao King without holding back as he had intended to kill Bai Longtian in one strike, so it was quite surprising that someone from his opponent's group had managed to intercept it.
''Don't tell me it's that monster...!'' A shiver ran down 'young master Zhong's' spine as the image of Little Silver appeared in his mind, but he quickly erased this thought as soon as it emerged before he muttered to himself in a pondering manner
''No... it can't be. If that was the case, that thing would have destroyed my wind blades directly. There is no way it would be struggling against them like this!''
Clearly, although 'young master Zhong' was confident in his own strength, he wasn't delusional enough to think he could overpower a peak rank 6 magic beast like Little Silver when he wasn't even a peak rank 9 Dao King himself just yet.
This was especially so since 'young master Zhong' was one of the few people in his group who had personally witnessed the scene of Little Silver brutally killing the red-robed peak rank 9 Dao King back in the 'Desert mural'! ..
At the same time that 'young master Zhong' was stunned and was contemplating on whether to attack again or to go back and retreat, Bai Longtian who wasn't affected by the suppressive effects inside Jiang Chen's 'Kingdom of Darkness' was even more astonished than him, as he had clearly seen the scene of the black skeleton's sword attack colliding with the enormous-sized wind blades.
In reality, Bai Longtian could tell that the strands of sword qi seemed to be slightly weaker than the gigantic wind blades, but they were still more than enough to contend with them for a while and block their path.
Naturally, whether it was Liu Mei, Xingyi, Bai Longtian, or even Little Silver, none of them were being negatively affected while they were inside Jiang Chen's 'Kingdom of Darkness' and they could clearly see everything that was going on around them. After all, Jiang Chen's control of his 'Kingdom of Darkness' was more than enough to allow him to distinguish between friends and foes and choose whom to suppress.
After raising his head and staring at the pitch-black skeleton king that was standing arrogantly in the sky, Bai Longtian nodded his head seriously, before his body turned into a streak of light as he flew back towards Liu Mei and the others.
''Zhong Lei? What the hell is going on?'' At the same time, the 4 early rank 9 Dao Kings who had kept quiet until now finally decided to make their move as well, as they quickly flew towards 'young master Zhong's' direction. They could clearly sense the direction of the commotion even through Jiang Chen's interference, and they could also tell that 'young master Zhong' had now turned serious, as his body was now emitting a thick, almost palpable killing intent!
The yellow-robed middle-aged man, Zhong Lei remained quiet for a brief moment after hearing their question, before he answered in a solemn manner
''You should keep your guards up. It seems that apart from that panther, there is also someone else among those bastards who could block my attack.''
''Eh? Their group only has 3 middle-stage Dao Kings and just one who is at the early rank 7. Who among them could stop you?'' A woman who seemed to be in her early thirties and was dressed in a long green robe suddenly asked, as she stared in 'young master Zhong's' direction in surprise.
Clearly, in her eyes, even Liu Mei who had stepped into the late stages of the Dao King realm shouldn't be able to withstand more than a single punch from 'young master Zhong', let alone the other 3 who were still in the middle stages of the Dao King realm.
Zhong Lei however simply shook his head, before he answered in the same solemn manner as before
''I don't know. Although it was just a casual attack of mine, it's still true that they managed to block it. Don't treat them lightly and just end this before they can escape.''
The green-robed young woman was about to retort when she heard Zhong Lei's forceful voice that sounded more like a command, but it was at this moment that the purple-robed young man, Yao Guanting suddenly interjected as he said calmly
''Zhong Lei is right. You know that we don't have much time in the first place. Just kill that panther first. The rest of them don't matter too much anyway!''
At the same time that Yao Guanting's words trailed off, dozens of auras suddenly appeared from behind him at the same time, as the remaining Dao Kings from his group finally entered Jiang Chen's 'Kingdom of Darkness' one after the other, before they all flew towards Yao Guanting's direction.
