Chapter 1117: Chapter 748: Divine Soil Merciful Hand
Wu Yumen was engulfed by the sudden darkness, causing him to lose his perception of the surroundings in an instant. However, being a seasoned expert, he didn’t panic at all, realizing immediately that someone must be trying to rescue that Human Race little boy!
He halted his movement, immediately shifting towards the direction of the Human Race little boy. For him, who is in the ascension realm, even without perception, he had a fairly accurate judgment of the distance and dimensions of the entire city in his mind.
But just as he was about to get closer, a very fierce attack came from the left and hit him, launched by an expert in the mid-Inquiry Dao Realm!
Such an attack, of course, couldn’t penetrate his defense. At first, he thought it might have been Ge Hengzi or other border-level elders who accidentally struck him after losing their perception. However, upon closer comparison, this attack felt very unfamiliar, definitely not from his own people!
"A stranger’s breath! It’s a member of the Human Race!"
Wu Yumen immediately thought of this because all experts entering and leaving Jingxi City were registered, and he was well aware of the strength of his subordinates. But the owner of this attack was definitely not within his familiar range, immediately being identified as an expert here to rescue the Human Race little boy!
His eyes revealed a strong killing intent as he charged towards the original master of the attack on the left. However, that person would retreat as soon as they collided, not intending to stay and fight. But with his rich combat experience, he knew very well where the opponent’s retreat direction would be if they attacked like this.
He immediately adjusted his direction, chasing after the opponent. But he hadn’t gotten far when an even more terrifying force struck him, almost blasting him away!
"Mid-ascension realm! There’s actually an ascension realm expert ambushing!"
Wu Yumen quickly adjusted his posture, let out a cold shout, and attacked the opponent!
Boom!
The two mid-ascension realm strikes collided, causing the heavens to collapse, and the violent spiritual power fluctuations erupted fiercely!
Wu Yumen hadn’t expected that his target was actually Wu Qiuhong!
Logically, both sides know each other well. They should be clear about each other’s attack characteristics. If it was just a misunderstanding, both Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong would instantly realize that the opponent was one of their own.
However, the biggest mistake they made was that both Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong had comprehended Xiang Beifei’s Dao Stone!
Ge Hengzi had offered three Dao Stones to Wu Yumen. Because of his close relationship with Wu Yumen, Wu Qiuhong also studied the Dao Stones, merging Xiang Beifei’s Dao embryos into their acquired heavenly Dao cultivation.
Their cultivation was stronger than Xiang Beifei, and Xiang Beifei couldn’t use this Dao embryo to defeat them, but he could interfere with their perception!
This means that whether it’s Wu Yumen or Wu Qiuhong, if they can’t see each other, they simply cannot recognize who the other is!
And now, both domain-level elders of the Dao Palace marked each other as formidable foes, so without a word, they decisively struck, determined not to stop until the opponent was beaten to death!
In an instant, spiritual power exploded violently in the darkness!
However, Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong were obviously measured because the city is the foundation of their Dao Palace. Additionally, there are quite a few of their own people here. If they fought without restraint, they might kill all their own people too.
So while fighting, these two intentionally or unintentionally moved towards the void outside the city. Without any concerns there, they could go all out to kill the opponent!
Wu Yumen and Wu Qiuhong were leading each other towards the void.
But this time, three ascension realm experts and a domain-level elder were lying in ambush outside Jingxi City!
——
The domain-level elder lying in ambush outside the city was named Wu Kexi. His strength was slightly lower than the two inside the city, being only at the early ascension realm, responsible for leading six Inquiry Dao realm experts to reinforce the formation.
This formation was named "Endless Houtu," a very formidable trapping formation.
An early ascension realm expert reinforced the formation while six Inquiry Dao realm experts guarded it, each holding a position. Utilizing the breath soil’s protection, it wasn’t simply adding up their power.
They relied on the Dao Palace’s unique formation secrets, combined with a powerful spiritual power foundation as guidance, making its power enough to overawe the late ascension realm!
Once inside, even a mid-ascension realm could not break through!
Wu Kexi immediately became aware when chaos broke out in Jingxi City. However, due to their preparation for a rescue by the Human Race, the responsibilities were clearly defined. No matter how chaotic it got inside the city, Wu Kexi would never leave his post!
This was the unwavering dedication of Dao Palace experts!
"Pay attention, no matter what happens, don’t let yourself be confused, guard your duties, and don’t let the traitors in the city escape!" Wu Kexi shouted to the six Inquiry Dao realm elders.
"Yes, Sir!"
The six Inquiry Dao realm experts responded in unison. As soon as chaos broke out in the city, they unanimously activated the formation, injecting their spiritual power into it, forming a powerful trapping and killing formation, not letting even half a mosquito fly out!
Then the sky began to darken!
The range of Xiang Beifei’s Candle Dragon Eye was limited, only dragging Jingxi City into darkness. And the "Endless Houtu" formation in the high sky outside Jingxi City was not affected, so in Wu Kexi’s eyes, the city suddenly plunged into darkness, as if the whole city was shrouded in a black mist.
