Battle Through the Heavens - chapter-621

This was an extremely dense forest. Although there was occasionally some
light that seeped through the gaps and scattered into it, it was still
difficult to expel that darkness within the forest. It was likely that
the pressuring atmosphere would be difficult for one to endure when one
walked in such a place.

A wave of hurried footsteps suddenly sounded within the quiet forest.
Immediately, a large group of indistinct black figures appeared at a
corner of the forest. These black figures walked extremely quietly and
were clearly extremely experienced old hands. While they walked, their
gazes were cautiously sweeping over the surrounding dark corners. In this
‘Black-Corner Region’ one must alway place the word ‘cautious’ in
one’s heart at all times, regardless of one’s identity. Something
like a boat sinking in a drain happened almost everyday. If one wanted to
live longer, one must always maintain a cautious state.

to happen

“Crack!”

A dried branch on the ground where a human figure landed suddenly cracked
as they walked. The clear sound reverberated throughout the quiet forest,
and was exceptionally ear-piercing.

The walking figures suddenly stopped because of this sound. Their leader
was a black-robed person. His gaze was dark and stern as it cut his
companion who had stepped on the broken twig. He waved his hand and was
about to instruct the group to continue advancing when his ear suddenly
picked up the sound of some leaves moving. His face immediately changed
as he cried out sternly, “Be careful!”

“Xiu! Xiu!”

His cry had just sounded when arrows suddenly came shooting out from the
dark-black forest in all directions, attacking this group until its
formation was in complete disarray. The surrounding trees suddenly shook
after the rain of arrows. Immediately, numerous similar black-robed
people rushed out in a lightning-like manner. Finally, they raised their
shiny blades. They did not say any nonsense. Only a dark, cold killing
intent which filled the dense forest was present.

“Be careful, fight them!”

The heart of that black-robed leader immediately sank upon seeing the
black figure unit that had attacked without the slightest noise, and
whose bodies were filled with an extremely dense bloody scent. At a
glance, one could tell that such a well-trained unit frequently muddled
along on the edge of a blade and was extremely experienced. Moreover,
from the looks of the speed in which these black figures rushed, it was
clear that their strength was quite great. Just which faction did such a
powerful strength belong to?

These black figures were extremely quick and agile. In only a couple of
flashes, they directly pierced the formation of those black-robed figures
like a blade. The blade contained a cold glint, and a low, deep sound
would appear each time it cut past some flesh. This sound caused the
leader’s heart to sink further.

The leader drew his weapon from his waist and forced back a couple of
black figures which had shot over silently. However, the price he paid
was a cut between his thumb and his forefinger, resulting in his hand
being filled with blood. Taking the opportunity to withdraw, his gaze
swept over his unit which had suffered serious deaths and injuries within
less than a minute. Shock immediately flashed across his eyes as he put
up a brave front and cried out, “You even dare to touch someone from
the ‘Black Alliance’. Are you seeking death?”

In the face of his cry, the reply he received was a couple of blades that
contained traces of blood.

This black-robed leader’s body rolled on the ground in a miserable
manner. His feet stomped on the ground and he remained close to the
ground as he shot out of the forest in an explosive manner. That speed
was extremely quick. Even those black figures behind him could not catch
up.

The instant the black-robed figure was about to flee from the forest, a
bloody wind suddenly sounded beside his ear. Immediately, his back sunk
as a ferocious force came diving down, and peremptorily smashed the
former violently to the ground.

“Grug!”

The black-robed person could not resist spitting out a mouthful of fresh
blood after receiving such a heavy blow. He turned his head with much
difficulty only to see a human figure whose entire body was wrapped in a
large, black robe.

“The ‘Black Alliance’ will not let all of you off!” The
black-robed person spat out a mouthful of blood and spoke in a dark
manner.

“The number of people from the ‘Black Alliance’ who have died in my
hands is already in the triple digits.” A voice that contained a dense
bloody scent was slowly emitted from the black robes. Immediately, he
gently pressed his feet down, and a force surged out before smashing the
back of the black-robed man, killing him with one strike.

While the black figure kicked the dead black-robed man aside, another
black figure swiftly leaped forward before searching the body of the
black-robed man. A moment later, he took out a letter from the former’s
chest pocket and respectfully handed it to the mysterious person beside
him whose entire body contained a dense bloody scent.

The black-robed mysterious man tore opened the envelope and slowly opened
the letter. A moment later, he laughed in a dark, cold voice, “It is
really unexpected that even the ‘Wild Lion Gang’ has joined the
‘Black Alliance’. Have their arms already been extended to this
place?”

“During these two years, experts from the Jia Nan Academy have
repeatedly come out to search and find trouble with those experts who
participated in the ambush of the Jia Nan Academy back then. In order to
fight the Jia Nan Academy, that Han Feng founded the ‘Black
Alliance’. Now, the strength of the ‘Black Alliance’ is growing
even larger. Even the Jia Nan Academy is unable to do anything to it.
From the actions of Han Feng, I think that he intends to extend the
‘Black Alliance’ to the entire ‘Black-Corner Region’. Chief, they
will discover that we are repeatedly finding trouble with them. From the
looks of it, we should change our location again.” A black figure
flashed and appeared. His voice was somewhat hoarse when he spoke.

“Yes.” The black-robed man whose entire body was filled with a bloody
aura acknowledged what he said with a faint sound. He waved his hand and
immediately walked toward the exit of the forest. The black figures
within the darkness flashed behind him. At a rough glance, there seemed
to be over a hundred people. These people were all quietly following
behind the black-robed man a short distance behind him. Their footsteps
seemed as though it came from a single individual.

The faint sunlight scattered down upon exiting the dark forest. The
black-robed man raised his head and revealed a young familiar face filled
with a ruthlessness. This person was shockingly Xiao Yan’s second older
brother, Xiao Li.

At this moment, the entirety of Xiao Li’s body was filled with an
extremely dense blood scent. His expression was indifferent and his eyes
were void of emotion. Most importantly, the aura that was spread from his
body was actually comparable to an expert Dou Wang. It was difficult to
imagine that he was actually able to leap from the Da Dou Shi class to
the Dou Wang class within two short years. However, if one were to
carefully observe him, one would discover that there was actually a
thread of death aura on Xiao Li’s forehead. It was somewhat strange
that such a death aura had appeared on the face of such a young man.
Perhaps, this might have some relation toward the swift rise in his
strength.

“All of you should return back first.”

Xiao Li spoke faintly. Those hundred plus black figures behind him
immediately nodded respectfully. Their bodies slowly withdrew into the
darkness. Immediately, they completely vanished amid a slight sound.

The indifference on Xiao Li’s face finally relaxed slowly after
everyone had completely disappeared. He turned his head slightly and his
gaze looked toward the distant northern direction. That direction was
where the Jia Nan Academy was located. It was there that Xiao Yan had
turned into ashes.

Xiao Li felt a faint pain within his chest as he recalled the bright
smiling brother of his. Before he came to the ‘Black-Corner Region’
his big brother Xiao Ding had said he can die but his third brother
cannot! Only with the latter would the Xiao clan be saved. Now, however…

A beast-like fierce glow flashed within Xiao Li’s eyes. A moment later,
a savage smile was lifted from the corner of his mouth as he spoke in a
dense low voice, “Xiao-yan-zi, rest assured that second brother will
not let off those fellows who caused you to die. I will kill all of them
during my residual life!”

Dense laughter slowly reverberated. Xiao Li’s body, however, quietly
disappeared like a ghost.

…

The deadly quiet magma world was still completely bright-red. The hot
temperature caused this place to be a completely lifeless one!

“Bang!”

The magma in this dead and silent world suddenly split apart. A wave of
white fog rose and two figures rushed out explosively from within.

One of the figures was at the front while the other was at the back. At a
glance, it looked like the one at the back was chasing after the one in
front with the intention to kill. This was because numerous extremely
powerful colorful energy pillars that carried extremely sharp killing
intent shot out explosively during the chase. The human figure at the
front was clearly extremely afraid of these colorful energy pillars. Even
though his body was in an extremely miserable state, he still narrowly
dodged them one after another.

The seven-colored energy that missed were shot into the magma world.
Immediately, an earth-shaking explosion sound shot over the vast magma.

“Are you done or not? I am not arguing with you because you are a
woman. Don’t blame me for turning against you if you continue to pester
me!” That young man wearing a black robe narrowly dodged a sharp attack
once again as he cried out furiously.

The bewitching beauty completely ignored the furious cries of this young
man. Her cold and glamourous pretty face was filled with frost. Her eyes
were filled with killing intent. From her manner, it appeared as though
she had a feud with the former that was absolutely irreconcilable.

“I said that once I recovered my strength, the first thing I would do
is tear you into ten thousand pieces!” The bewitching beauty clenched
her silver teeth and spoke in a chilly voice.

“Big sister, I am also a victim. I was completely void of any sense of
reasoning in that kind of situation. Please let me off. We can treat it
as though nothing happened. I will definitely not tell anyone.” Xiao
Yan’s face was filled with bitterness as he cupped his hands toward
Queen Medusa and spoke.

“In your dreams!” Queen Medusa immediately became extremely furious
upon hearing this. She waved her hand, and a seven-colored energy surged
out explosively.

“Queen Medusa, don’t you dare go overboard. Don’t blame me for
being insensitive if you continue!” Xiao Yan’s eyes stared furiously
as he shook his hand. A dark-green flame that was just like a faint ghost
flame surfaced on his palm. The magma world immediately began to become
violent as the cluster of dark-green flame appeared. Magma began to churn
before eventually stopping under Xiao Yan’s feet like ocean waves. At a
glance, it looked as though Xiao Yan was walking on waves. However, this
was no ocean wave, but a wave consisting of magma.

Even with Queen Medusa’s strength, her expression could not help but
change upon seeing the uprising of the magma wave. She also clearly
understood that this bastard in front of her had already subdued the
‘Fallen Heart Flame’. Fighting him in this environment would do her
no good even though she had already recovered her strength to her peak.
Moreover, she really had difficulty truly attacking Xiao Yan. She
concluded that this should be some side effect from having merged with
the ‘Heaven Swallowing Python’. Otherwise, given her usual character,
she would definitely tear this bastard, who had committed blasphemy
toward her, even if she had to fight until both of them were seriously
injured.

Xiao Yan only sigh in relief when he saw that Queen Medusa had become
much quieter than before. He wiped off the perspiration on his forehead
and smiled bitterly in his heart. Dammit. What damn thing had happened?
He had actually in his muddiness took this beautiful snake…

“Let’s not continue to fight among ourselves now. You don’t wish to
stay in such a place forever right?” Xiao Yan shrugged his shoulders
toward Queen Medusa and pointed toward the top. “With your own
strength, it would be somewhat difficult to break the seal. It should be
much easier if we join hands. What do you say?”

A glint flickered in Queen Medusa’s eyes before she nodded with a cold
face a moment later. She had already made up her mind. Once she left this
damn place, she would definitely let this bastard pay the price for
sullying her!
