Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-350

Under a countless number of anxious gazes, the fallout of the energy
began to slowly scatter, revealing the ‘Seven-Colored Heaven Swallowing
Python’ that had been struck.

The current ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ had quite a miserable
appearance. Over half of its originally beautiful smooth seven-colored
snake scales had burst apart under the terrifying attack earlier. Bright
red fresh blood seeped out from the cracked snake scales and emitted a
dripping sound as they began to fall like a light drizzle.

Its huge body moved slightly, releasing the unhurt Xiao Yan within it.

Xiao Yan lifted his head and eyed the glow in the snake’s eyes which
had become much weaker. The fresh blood that dripped onto his face
appeared somewhat warm.

“Hiss!”

The ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ flicked its tongue toward Xiao Yan.
It’s snake eyes held an extremely human-like concern. Currently, the
‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ had already been promoted to a rank 5
Magical Beast and already possessed an intellect that was not inferior to
that of humans. If it was not being suppressed by the spiritual strength
of Queen Medusa, it was likely that it would already be able to speak the
human language.

Ever since the ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ was born, the first person
which it had seen was Xiao Yan. After which, it had been living
harmoniously with Xiao Yan. Although it was a beast, it had already
formed a kinship-like feeling toward Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan clenched his teeth tightly. He eyed the ‘Heaven Swallowing
Python’. Most of the scales on its body were cracked. A fury that had
nearly washed away his reasoning had rose within him, especially after
seeing the human-like concern in the eyes of the ‘Heaven Swallowing
Python’. However, it was fortunate that his reasoning suppressed his
fury. Xiao Yan glanced at Yun Leng below in a dark and cold manner. After
which, he hurriedly took out bottle after bottle of healing medicine from
his storage ring and smashed them against the ‘Heaven Swallowing
Python’s’ body.

When the bottles smashed on those scales, they suddenly broke apart. A
warm healing liquid flowed over the wounds, helping to ease the ‘Heaven
Swallowing Python’s’ pain.

“What a lucky fellow. Last time this beast saved you, but what about
this time?” Yun Leng coldly laughed as he eyed the ‘Heaven Swallowing
Python’ which had suffered somewhat serious injury. He waved his hand
and a huge energy spiralling sphere once again agglomerated within the
sea of clouds. The energy on the surface of the sphere spilled out and a
terrifying force shattered the surrounding air until nothing was left.

“Go to hell!”

A savage appearance surfaced on Yun Leng’s face. His hands pushed
forward suddenly and an enormous energy ball once again carried the sound
of compressed wind, a whizzing sound that could be heard from the
horizon, shot explosively toward Xiao Yan!

Xiao Yan stared intently at the energy ball which was expanding in his
eyes. He tightly clenched his teeth and held the Heavy Xuan Ruler with
all his might. The Dou Qi in his body was also circulated wildly!

“Hei, Yun Leng, with your status as the First Elder of the Misty Cloud
Sect, you actually used such a vicious attack against someone of the
younger generation. You are actually this shameless?” As the energy
ball was about to shoot toward Xiao Yan, Hai Bodong’s cold laughter
finally rang out.

“Ten Thousand Ice Flower Mirror!” As a cry rang out, a huge ice
mirror that enveloped tens of feet of space suddenly expanded in front of
Xiao Yan. Countless tiny small planes covered the surface of the mirror,
Under the sunlight, it appeared like a mirror which was formed from
sunlight.

“Bang!”

The energy ball heavily collided into the ice mirror. The incomparably
large energy immediately scattered countless tiny planes. After the
energy ball disappeared, the icy mirror had taken some damage, but it was
maintained until the cloud energy that permeated the surroundings
disappeared. Only then did a crack sound appear and the mirror was burst
apart into slowly falling ice crystals that filled the sky.

“Hey, are you alright?”A human figure flashed and Hai Bodong appeared
in front of Xiao Yan. The former had his back facing Xiao Yan as he asked.

“I’m fine.” Xiao Yan shook his head, held the ruler tightly and
softly spoke.

“It is going to be troublesome this time around. It is really
unexpected that this fellow has become so furious that he actually
unleashed the ‘Covering Sun Cloud Formation’. This is the Misty Cloud
Sect’s largest formation that is usually used in order to protect the
sect. The price to activate it does not appear small. Many years ago, it
helped the Misty Cloud Sect overcome an unknown number of
difficulties.” Hai Bodong’s gaze slowly swept across the sea of
clouds below. He smiled bitterly and said, “As long as there is still
energy remaining within the Misty Cloud Sect’s disciples, then it will
be equivalent to us fighting with nearly one thousand Misty Cloud Sect
disciples. Even a Dou Huang cannot forcefully withstand its entire
power.”

Xiao Yan frowned as he heard this before speaking in a deep and soft
voice, “Then what do we do?”

Hai Bodong lifted his head and looked at the energy cover that enveloped
the square. He said, “Unless we can break this thing… as long as it
breaks, I should be able to bring you away from this place. However, I
need to protect you now and cannot split my attention to do it.”

When he spoke up to this point, he then glanced at the enormous ‘Heaven
Swallowing Python’ behind Xiao Yan and said, “That energy wall is
created by over a hundred Misty Cloud Sect deacons. With its Dou Wang
class strength, it will likely take a long while in order to break it.
Yet, the thing that we lack the most of now is time.”

“The ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’ and I will go and try. Old Hai,
help us defend against those fellows’ attacks!” Xiao Yan mused for a
moment, made a prompt decision before he replied. Currently, they did not
have any extra time for them to expend.

“Ah. we can only do it this way. That ‘Covering Sun Cloud
Formation’ of Yun Leng can only be withstood by a strong person of the
Dou Huang class. It is fortunate that Yun Yun is absent. Otherwise, if
she used her Dou Huang strength to take charge of this large formation,
even a strong person of the Dou Zong class will fear her.” Although he
knew that there was quite a great amount of difficulty for Xiao Yan to
break the energy barrier given the latter’s strength, Hai Bodong did
not have any other solution after having reached this situation. If they
did not shatter the energy cover, they would only be forced to fight head
on with nearly one thousand Misty Cloud Sect disciples.

It was not a difficult thing for a strong person of the Dou Huang class
to fight one thousand people by himself. Unfortunately, with the
agglomeration of the ‘Covering Sun Cloud Formation’ and their
cohesion which had been groomed for over a decade or even a few decades,
the strength of these nearly one thousand Misty Cloud Sect disciples
appeared to be superimposed on Yun Leng who was in the middle of the
formation. In the face of this kind of special fighting method, even Hai
Bodong could only find shelter to avoid it.

“Hai Bodong, since you are unrepentant, don’t blame old me for not
taking into account our old friendship!” Yun Leng coldly watched Hai
Bodong in the sky. He was far from being vague. Once again, a cloud ball
was summoned from the sea of clouds. This time around, the ball’s size
appeared to be double that of the previous ones.

A seriousness appeared on Hai Bodong’s face as he eyed the large energy
ball which was at least forty to fifty feet in size. A cold air shrouded
his hands and countless number of tiny ice crystals slowly appeared in
the air around him.

“Ah, it looks like the issue has become quite big.” As he eyed the
two parties which were about to begin a truly large fight, Jia Xing Tian
sighed and shook his head, “For just a mere Mo Cheng, they are willing
to fight with a Dou Huang and someone with a terrifying potential, who
will become a strong person in the future, to such an extent. Is it
worthwhile?”

“It is not because of Mo Cheng. He, as an external decon does not have
such a great ability.” Fa Ma shook his head and laughed bitterly,
“The Misty Cloud Sect wants reputation. However, the trouble caused
over this matter is indeed a little overboard. That earlier attack of
Xiao Yan caused Yun Leng to lose a great amount of face. Therefore, he
activated the large formation to defend the sect. If we were to talk
about it, he has selfish motives.”

“Ah.” Jia Xing Tian let out a sigh and bitterly laughed. With things
having progressed to this extent, it was impossible for the matter to be
peacefully resolved regardless of who stepped forward to be the mediator.

“Bang!”

The heavy ruler carried a ferocious force as it violently smashed against
the energy cover. However, it only resulted in a tiny little ripple.
Other than this, it did not have even the slightest effect.

Xiao Yan’s expression was dark and solemn as he eyed that firm and
unshakable energy barrier. He turned his head and eyed the attack by the
‘Heaven Swallowing Python’. The waves of ripples that spread out had
some momentum. However, there was still a huge gap between it and
destroying the energy barrier.

“Bastard!” Xiao Yan turned around and watched the sharp force that
was emitted from the battle between Hai Bodong and Yun Leng while softly
and viciously scolded.

“I don’t believe that I cannot break this crappy thing of yours!”
Xiao Yan breathing gradually became more intense. His eyes became red. As
he tightly held the heavy ruler, Dou Qi surged wildly. He let out a loud
cry as he violently smashed it into the incomparably strong energy cover.

“Bang!”

Following the swing of Xiao Yan’s heavy ruler, an extremely loud sound
suddenly appeared in the square. Countless people lifted their heads and
watched as crack lines instantly spread out on the energy cover while
having completely stunned faces. After their shock persisted for an
instant, they immediately turned toward the similarly stunned Xiao Yan
who was holding the black ruler. This energy cover which even a Dou Wang
would need a long period of time in order to break was actually broken by
a random swing of a his ruler?

“Impossible!” Within the sea of clouds, Yun Leng was also stunned as
he eyed the energy barrier that was covered with crack lines.
Immediately, he cried out in a flustered and exasperated manner.

“Ha ha, it is really unexpected that the Misty Cloud Sect whose name
shakes the entire Jia Ma Empire is actually this shameless. The sect’s
nearly one thousand members have actually joined hands to deal with a
young man who is not even twenty. You really disgraced the face that Yun
Bo Tian had fought to gain for the Misty Cloud Sect on the continent back
then!” Just as everyone in the entire square was dull, a somewhat
hoarse laughter suddenly sounded from the sky.

“Who are you? You actually dare to insult a predecessor of our Misty
Cloud Sect. A person who only knows how to hide around. If you have the
ability, appear in front of the old me!” Yun Leng’s face changed as
he lifted his head and cried out sternly.

“Ha ha. If you want me to reveal myself, I will reveal myself. Other
people may be afraid of your Misty Cloud Sect, but I am not the least bit
afraid!” A loud laugh once again sounded. As the laughter fell, the
energy barrier which was already about to collapse finally turned into
shattered energy pieces that permeated the air after a ‘bang’, before
slowly disappearing.

“Grug!”

With the shattering of the energy barrier, the faces of the nearly one
hundred Misty Cloud Sect’s deacons on the surrounding trees became
abruptly pale. Immediately, mouthfuls of fresh blood were wildly spat out.

Yun Leng ignored those deacons who vomited blood. He lifted his head and
his eyes were locked intently on an empty space. At a certain moment, the
air at that spot suddenly began to ripple. A black shadow slowly appeared
after a while. A mere instant later, a human figure who was wearing a
black robe appeared in front of everyone’s eyes out of nowhere.

As the black figure appeared, the expressions of Hai Bodong, Jia Xing
Tian, Fa Ma, Yun Leng and the others on the square, suddenly changed
drastically.

“It is another strong Dou Huang?” Jia Xing Tian slowly inhaled a
breath of cool air. His voice contained a shock that could not be
concealed.

“It looks like he is Xiao Yan’s reinforcement. There is indeed an
extremely large strength behind this fellow.” Fa Ma’s expression was
unusually grave as he mumbled, “This time around, the Misty Cloud Sect
is really quite unlucky.”
