Chapter 882
In an unfamiliar place
Time passed second by second. Zhuo Wen was like a corpse as he lay motionless in the chaotic flow of time and space. He had already been like this for nearly three days. However, to Zhuo Wen's disappointment, he did not discover any spatial cracks during these three days.
With the passage of three days, the dark energy around Zhuowen grew dimmer and dimmer, as if it would vanish at any moment. This caused Zhuowen to be on tenterhooks for a long time.
"It's already been three days, but I still haven't discovered any spatial cracks. Am I really going to die in this turbulence of space-time?" Zhuowen muttered to himself, unwilling to give up.
Xiao Hei remained silent, which was rare for her. Her beady eyes stared at the surroundings of the turbulence of space-time.
Zhuowen could not be bothered to say anything when he saw Xiao Hei's reaction. He continued to lie in the turbulence of space-time like a corpse.
"Hmm?
Kid, stop playing dead. There's a spatial crack up ahead. Hurry up and get ready. "
Suddenly, Xiao Hei's voice rang out in surprise. Zhuowen hurriedly stood up and looked in the direction Xiao Hei had pointed. Sure enough, he discovered a rather dazzling light there.
The turbulence of space-time was grey. It was impossible for any light to appear there. This light could only have come from the outside world.
Crack!
A clear sound suddenly sounded. Zhuo Wen was startled. He lowered his head and immediately discovered that the dark black energy covering the surface of his body had actually gradually dimmed. Moreover, densely packed cracks had appeared on the surface of his body.
"Oh no, this Emperor energy is about to dissipate!
Xiao Hei, how far away is the light? "
Zhuowen's heart was about to leap out of his chest when he saw the cracks that were constantly spreading. He had already reached a critical juncture. The spatial crack was just inches away. Was he going to fail at the last hurdle?
"There's still about a thousand meters left. With the current speed of the turbulence of space-time, we should be able to reach the spatial crack in about ten breaths. Kid, don't move around. Otherwise, you'll waste the excess energy." Xiao Hei also noticed Zhuowen's situation and said solemnly.
Zhuowen nodded when he heard that. He lay there motionless like a corpse again. Although Zhuowen tried very hard not to move, cracks continued to spread across the surface of the energy around him.
There were still five breaths left. The cracks had already spread to nearly half of the energy.
Five breaths … Four breaths … Three breaths … Two breaths … One breaths …
Finally, the spatial crack was just inches away. The light emitted a warm warmth. It was the sunlight of the outside world.
Crack!
At this moment, the energy on the surface of Zhuo Wen's body finally collapsed completely, turning into an ethereal black mist.
"Let's go!"
Zhuo Wen cried out furiously the moment the energy disappeared. His foot stepped forward and he stepped into the spatial crack that was overflowing with light.
Chi! Chi!
Chi! Unfortunately, just as Zhuowen was about to step into the spatial crack, Zhuowen, who had lost the protection of the dark energy, was completely exposed to the air. The endless space-time turbulence was like a violent storm and tsunami. It suddenly crushed toward Zhuowen, wanting to completely destroy Zhuowen.
"Damn it!
Divine Sun Cauldron, come out! "
Looking at the turbulence of space-time behind him, Zhuowen flicked his finger and quickly took out the dazzling Divine Sun Cauldron from his Spirit Ring. Immediately, the endless sun fire protected Zhuowen, and the Divine Sun Cauldron stood behind Zhuowen, trying to block the space-time turbulence.
Bang!
What shocked Zhuowen was that the power of the space-time turbulence was beyond his expectations. As soon as the Divine Sun Cauldron came into contact with the space-time turbulence, the originally dazzling Divine Sun Cauldron actually became dim.
Whoosh!
In just an instant, the Divine Sun Cauldron turned into a stream of light and returned to Zhuowen's Spirit Ring. The wisp of sun fire that wrapped around Zhuowen was scattered by the space-time turbulence.
Puchi!
The sun fire was dispelled, and the aftermath of the space-time turbulence immediately slammed into Zhuowen's chest, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood. Zhuowen, who was originally heavily injured, almost fainted under this blow.
"Let's go!"
Xiao Hei appeared beside Zhuowen at this moment. With a wave of her little claws, the ink-black energy turned into a palm and pulled Zhuowen's shoulder. Taking advantage of the momentum, Zhuowen immediately escaped from the spatial crack.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After exiting the spatial crack, Zhuowen discovered that he was actually on a cliff. Below the cliff was a lush forest.
Unfortunately for Zhuowen, he was actually in the middle of the cliff, and the cliff was very steep.
"Xiao Hei, what should I do?
Right now, I can't mobilize any power at all. If I fall from here, I'll be done for. "Zhuowen hurriedly called out to Xiao Hei.
"Kid!
This dragon lord isn't much better off than you. Just now, when I pulled you out of the spatial crack, I used up almost all of my Origin Energy. Now, I don't have any strength to help you. You can only pray for yourself. "
At this moment, Xiao Hei's entire body was dim and lightless. She quietly lay on Zhuowen's shoulder. After giving Zhuowen a helpless look, she turned into a black light and disappeared into the Spirit Ring.
Looking at Xiao Hei's appearance, Zhuowen knew that it was impossible to rely on Xiao Hei. Thus, he curled up into a ball and tried his best to protect the vital parts of his body. He dejectedly rolled down the cliff along the rock wall.
Bang!
When he finally reached the bottom, Zhuowen violently collided with a thick tree trunk. The powerful impact even caused the thick tree trunk to shake violently.
When this powerful impact spread to Zhuowen's body, it immediately caused him to feel as if all of his internal organs had shifted. He spat out a mouthful of blood and his vision turned black. He actually directly fainted …
In the lush forest, a winding path divided the forest into two areas. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the winding path, causing a flock of birds to fly into the air.
The sound of horse hooves came closer and closer. Soon, more than ten figures appeared. These figures were all riding tall horses and wearing the same black and gray uniform. They seemed to be the guards of some faction.
At the front of these figures was a middle-aged man with a face that had seen the vicissitudes of life. He carried a large blade on his back, and his spine was straight. He was in high spirits. He was clearly the leader of these people.
In addition, behind the dozen or so people, an extremely luxurious carriage was following them at a moderate pace. This carriage had two large horses at the front. Moreover, these two large horses were extremely extraordinary. There were flames on their four hooves, and with every step they took, a long fire snake would be dragged out on the ground. They were extremely mighty.
If a cultivator passed by here, they would definitely be able to recognize the two large horses in front of the carriage. They were powerful Origin Beasts called Scarlet Demon Horses.
Usually, Scarlet Flame Demon Horses had the strength of a First Wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm cultivator. Some mutated Scarlet Flame Demon Horses could reach the Third Wheel Ultimate Emperor Realm. However, these mutated Scarlet Flame Demon Horses were very rare.
Those who could possess Scarlet Demon Horses were basically wealthy clans or factions. It was very difficult for an ordinary person to possess a Scarlet Demon Horse. However, this group possessed two Scarlet Demon Horses all of a sudden. It was obvious that this group's origins were extremely extraordinary.
"Halt!"
Suddenly, the middle-aged man at the front pulled on the reins and forced his horse to stop. Seeing the middle-aged man stop, the rest of the people behind him stopped as well. They looked at the middle-aged man with puzzled eyes.
"Commander Ruan!
The young lady is asking why you stopped.
Could it be that you've encountered bandits? "
A clear and melodious voice came from within the carriage. A young woman with a cold expression came out of the carriage and asked the middle-aged man at the front.
"Lady Leng Ying, look!"
As he spoke, Commander Ruan pointed at the road ahead. There was a ragged figure with disheveled hair lying quietly in the middle of the road.
"Hmm?
Why would someone lie on the side of the road in this desolate area? "The cold woman called Leng Ying also noticed the figure. Her eyes flashed as she spoke in a low voice.
"Lady Leng Ying!
How should we deal with this person? "Commander Ruan asked politely.
"He's just an unimportant person. Moreover, from the looks of it, he's probably been hunted down by someone!
We shouldn't meddle in other people's business. Move this person away and we'll continue on our way, "Leng Ying said without even thinking.
"Yes!"
Commander Ruan nodded. He dismounted from his horse and walked to the side of the figure. He picked him up and unceremoniously threw him to the side of the road in the forest.
Commander Ruan clapped his hands. Just as he was about to return, another voice rang out. This voice was much gentler than Leng Ying's. It gave people a comfortable feeling as if they were bathing in the spring breeze.
"Commander Ruan!
This person looks like a pitiful person. After all, it's fate that brought us together. Bring him along! "
As she spoke, another beautiful figure walked out from the carriage. This woman was much younger than Leng Ying. She was slim and elegant. Her entire body emitted a gentle aura.
Although this woman did not have a peerless appearance, her clean eyes gave her a gentle and soft feeling. However, the only flaw was that this woman's face was extremely pale. It was so pale that it did not seem like a human face.
"Lingyu!
Why did you come out?
Your body is not well. Don't come out so casually!
As for this stranger, it's best that we don't meddle in his business. After all, this person's background is unknown. Who knows if he's good or bad? "
Leng Ying came to the side of the delicate woman. She took the opportunity to hold her right hand and supported her as she spoke in a slightly displeased tone.
"Sister Leng Ying!
This person is quite young and doesn't look like a bad person. Now that we've coincidentally met him, it can be considered a kind of fate. Let's form a good relationship with this person! "
The delicate woman named Lingyu smiled at Leng Ying. Although her voice was gentle, it revealed a trace of unquestionable meaning.
Seeing that Lingyu was so insistent, Leng Ying did not say anything. She turned to Commander Ruan and said, "Since Lady Leng Ying has said so, Commander Ruan, I'll have to trouble you again."
