Fishing the Myriad Heavens

Bei Feng’s face changed, and he furrowed his brows as he listened to the sounds of killing from a distance.

‘Are there some other factions intervening here? But is this faction really so confident that they can wipe out the gangster rabbits’ nest by themselves?’

Bei Feng could not understand what these people were doing. The several hundred people in the camp were mostly of the Fourth Layer of the Hundred Year realm, and they were an important chess piece in the campaign to wipe out the gangster rabbits. But now, there was actually a faction that was willing to disregard their own losses to wipe out these few hundred people? One had to know that these few hundred people were akin to free cannon fodder; before the gangster rabbits had been wiped out, the different factions were already trying to kill each other first, so wasn’t this a little too hasty?

“But please don’t be annihilated so easily…”

Bei Feng did not want something like this to happen. Once the few hundred people were wiped out, his own chances of fishing in troubled waters would be lowered by a great deal.

It wasn’t just Bei Feng, for the other groups of “orioles” were also cursing darkly under their breath. To these people, no matter who won, they still had no choice but to come out by themselves. Otherwise, there wouldn’t even be soup to drink at the end of the day.

There were quite a lot of these “orioles” in hiding. Most of them only felt the strangeness of the incidents, and came to take a look; they didn’t actually know what the treasure was. Only a small number of people knew what was at stake here.

The night passed, and Bei Feng awoke. Stretching himself lightly, he called out, “Lu Bu.”

“Your subordinate is here!” Lu Bu’s voice came from the outside.

Bei Feng thought for a while, and said, “Take the guards and leave this place; the battle that’s going to follow is not something that you guys can participate in.”

Among the entire group, only Lu Bu was a bit stronger. The rest were simply too weak; they did not even qualify to be cannon fodder.

“Family Head!” Lu Bu raised his head, and his eyes were filled with shock.

“There’s no need to say anything more, their strength is too weak.” Bei Feng shook his head.

This was the only group of experts he had; there was no point in losing all of them here.

“Family Head, it’s too dangerous; this subordinate must always be beside Family Head’s side! Lu Bing can take the rest and retreat first,” Lu Bu said firmly.

Bei Feng fell silent for a moment, and finally opened his mouth. “That’s good too; we’ll do it like this, then.”

“Yes!”

Lu Bu nodded, and left with great speed.

“Captain, what did Family Head say?” Lu Bu had just come out when the entire group swarmed up to him.

“I’ll stay behind; Lu Bing, you take the rest and leave this place,” Lu Bu commanded, with no room for negotiation.

“We want to stay too!”

“Yes, we want to follow Family Head to the death!”

The group objected immediately, every single one of them standing out valiantly.

Lu Bing did not say anything, but she still clutched the sword in her hand tightly.

Hearing everyone’s fervent objections, Lu Bu furrowed his brows and snorted coldly. “Hmph! All of you are to weak! You’re just giving your lives away! It’s fine if you die, but are you going to drag down the Family Head as well?”

“Boom!”

Like a booming thunder on a clear day, a loud bang rang out in everyone’s heads; their indignant expressions disappeared, replaced by unresigned ones.

‘It’s true. If we weren’t so weak, would there be any places that we can’t follow the Family Head into?’

The group of guards lowered their heads. The captain was right, it was not a big deal if they themselves died, but could it be that as guards, they still needed the Family Head to protect them?

“You’ve thought it through? If you’ve thought it through, go back and train more ruthlessly! When the Family Head and I return, I hope to see that all of you will have broken through to the Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer!” Lu Bu said his piece, and without waiting to hear everyone’s reaction, he directly turned and left.

Inside the forest, the camp which originally housed several hundred people was only left with a scene of desolation. The area of several kilometers was filled with large holes, broken trees, and grooves made by swords. Several Second Layer Hundred Year realm Demonic Beasts lingered in the destroyed camp, scampering about freely.

Numerous shadows appeared around the camp. These people all belonged to different powers, but they only looked warily at each other, and did not make any sudden movements.

“Family Head, it looks like these people were already defeated.” Lu Bu’s face was extremely grave. This camp originally had five, hundred people, ah! In the breath of a single night, all of them were destroyed.

“This faction is extremely strong. It was a crushing victory; is that the full strength of those people?” Bei Feng muttered to himself as he looked at some of the distorted bodies on the ground. No matter how he looked at them, these did not seem like human bodies.

The entire group of humans had disappeared cleanly, making it look as if they had never been there in the first place.

“Keke, so there’s actually so many little mice; we’ll catch them all in one stroke. Send the orders: before night falls, wipe out the gangster rabbits!” Shui Yuntian smiled faintly as he looked at the desolate camp.

The group of black-robed men behind Shui Yuntian all knelt down and chorused, “Yes!”

Each of them was leading a human-shaped Demonic Beast.

There was over a hundred black-robed men, and each of them had a three meter tall humanoid Demonic Beast beside them. These humanoid Demonic Beasts had drool dripping out of their mouths, and their eyes only contained violence and savagery!

The group of black-robed men did not hesitate at all as they brought the beasts with them and soared into the sky, quickly flying in a certain direction.

“This Red Phosphorus Powder is truly quite useful sometimes. Who would have thought that we’ll receive such a great surprise this time. A total of 3,600 Red Phosphorus Powder, and you alone has absorbed 3,000. Truly unbelievable.” Shui Yuntian’s mouth curled upwards as he gently petted the humanoid beast that had a long, faint golden horn on its head.

“They’re taking action!”

“Is it that faction?”

“With just a mere 200 people, they want to wipe out the gangster rabbits?”

The martial cultivators in hiding all looked at this scene in shock. The other party did not bother to conceal themselves. In that moment, a strange gleam flashed in the eyes of all the cultivators that hadn’t revealed themselves, and they also hurried towards the gangster rabbits’ nest.

“Those people are strong; they’re warriors that’d gone through a hundred battles!” Lu Bu said in a heavy tone. The pressure that each person emanated felt extremely terrifying to him!

‘Although I am at the peak of the Hundred Year realm, I can only at most exchange one move with these people. Even if it was one on one, my chances of victory will only be around 30 percent at most.’ Lu Bu silently evaluated them.

The experts from that group all had shocking killing auras. Looking from a distance away, the entire sky seemed to have turned black, and the shrill wails of countless wronged souls seemed to be echoing inside it.

Normal people would not even have the courage to raise a hand against these experts.

The two’s figures grew unclear, and gradually dissipated. It wasn’t clear when their actual bodies had left.

The group of 200 seemed like death gods that’d come out of hell. Not a single Demonic Beast was able to halt their steps.

In less than 10 minutes, a group of several hundred gangster rabbits had been killed. Without any pause, they killed their way into the core of the gangster rabbits’ nest like a sharp spear!

The black-robed men did not make any excess movements, slashing and stabbing in the most efficient manner!

Their swordsmanship might not seem that flashy to onlookers, and lacked grandiose poses, but each stroke would draw blood, regardless of friend or foe!

Every single sword stroke had been practiced countless times, and the moves had been branded into their very bones. There were no excessive moves; this was a killing sword!

Only when they got near did everyone realize that apart from the hundred-something experts whose appearances were masked, the others in the group were all humanoid Demonic Beasts. They were extremely savage, and did not have a single shred of emotion or intellect!

The defense of these creatures was formidable, while their bodies were exceptionally strong, and their speed incredibly fast. All these together made them very powerful killing machines!

“What kind of Demonic Beasts are those?! They’re actually so powerful!”

“Incredible. Every single one of those Demonic Beasts seems to be undefeatable under the Hundred Year realm. On top of that, those 100-odd cultivators are even scarier than those Demonic Beasts!”

“Just what kind of faction nurtured so many formidable cultivators? Do we really still have a chance?”

The experts hiding nearby all gasped with shock as they looked at this one-sided battle.

Bei Feng also could not help but sigh. If there weren’t any major changes to the situation, the Celestial Emperor Bamboo would probably fall into the hands of this faction.

The group of 200 seemed like robots who did not know fatigue as they charged forward steadily.

16 hours passed, and the sky turned dusky. There were 72 hours in a day, and this group had been fighting tirelessly for 16 hours. It was unclear how many gangster rabbits had met their end at the hands of these people.

The air was filled with a thick stench of blood. However, no Demonic Beast was drawn to this area by the blood scent. Instead, they all stayed far away from the area.

The blood scent of one or two Demonic Beasts would definitely draw nearby Demonic Beasts over for a meal. However, an uncountable number of gangster rabbits had died in a short time, and most of them were at the Third Layer of the Hundred Year realm. There were even over a thousand Hundred Year realm Fourth Layer level Demonic Beasts dead here. Any Demonic Beast that smelled this kind of horrifyingly powerful blood scent would not dare to come near!

The stench of blood was so dense that it did not seem capable of dispersing. If one breathed in deeply, countless blood mist would follow the flow of air into their nostrils.

There was only a group of less than 200 people standing in the middle of a blood lake!

After killing so many Demonic Beasts, the group had only lost 70-plus of their humanoid Demonic Beasts and three black-robed cultivators. This was an extremely terrifying record!

“This is the best chance!”

“My Lord, should we take this chance to make our move?”

“After such a long and intense battle, these people are all at their limits; if we make our move now, we can definitely kill this group of people!”

“If we don’t make a move now, once these people recover, we will have no hope of obtaining the treasure.”

The groups that were in hiding all simultaneously had the same thought after they recovered from their shock. A strange atmosphere hung in the air; as long as one side made a move, everyone would not hesitate to pour forth as well!

The pressure that this group of people created for everyone was too big. If these people were not removed from the equation, their chances of obtaining the treasure would be no lower than if they were asked to ascend to the heavens!

A chance like now was extremely rare—after such a long battle, no matter if it was their bodies or their mental power, these people were definitely at their limits. All of them would be the straw that broke the camel’s back if they joined the fight now!

“Family Head, do we make our move?” Lu Bu asked.

“No, it doesn’t make a difference whether we join the fight now. I have a feeling that these people are not that simple.”

Bei Feng’s expression was unreadable; this group of people had exceeded his expectations. After fighting for more than 10 hours, they were still able to sweep up enemies 10 times their numbers as if they were rotting wood.

There was no way that this group would not know about this outcome by taking action first. However, even now, they did not seem to be concerned about the forces in hiding at all.

“This subordinate understands.” Lu Bu nodded his head and fell silent.

Indeed, it was impossible to know how many people were hiding in the shadows; it wouldn’t make a difference whether the two of them were participating in the scramble or not.

“Peng! Peng!”

Just as the other forces were planning to take action, a series of steps rang out clearly, spreading for several kilometers!

One in front of the other, two figures appeared in the battlefield!
