The Planar Wars: Book 7 of the Coiling Dragon Saga Page 45

by Wo Chi Xi Hong Shi


  The cold, grim Planar Battlefield. A gray-robed figure was flying towards the mountain.

  “This is a rare, superb opportunity. Perhaps I’ll be able to acquire a badge.” The gray figure flew at a very high speed, but by the time he flew to the base of the mountain, he suddenly came to a halt. His form was revealed as that of a violet-eyed, gray-robed youth with long hair.

  He was currently staring at a nearby white-clothed figure.

  “Benfield of the Celestial Realm?” Terrified, the violet-eyed, gray-robed youth’s face changed. “Benfield. That means his other two companions must be present as well. If they surround me, I’ll definitely die. Since those two have come, that idiot in the mountain who actually brought a God-level divine clone into the Planar Battlefield definitely won’t be able to survive!” Not hesitating at all, the violet-eyed, gray-robed youth immediately retreated at high speed.

  He flew over, saw the white-robed figure, then immediately retreated.

  This process happened in an instant.

  “Eh?” The white-robed figure seemed to have felt something. He suddenly turned his head and saw the gray-robed figure disappear. The white-robed man let out a calm laugh. “He ran fairly fast.” The white-robed figure had long, silver-white hair. His face was as beautiful as a woman’s, and his eyes seemed to contain the stars within them as he stared upwards into the sky.

  “Swoosh!”

  The white-robed man flew into the sky, towards the midway point of the mountain.

  “Boss, we are already halfway up the mountain, close to the point where the natural Law ripples descended,” a deep voice echoed out in the white-robed man’s mind.

  “Elder Brother, I arrived as well,” a clear voice rang out in his mind as well.

  Right at this moment, suddenly…

  The natural Law ripples suddenly weakened at a fast pace. The transformation upon breaking through was a fairly fast process. Clearly, Linley’s divine wind clone’s divine spark transformation had already concluded.

  “We didn’t make it in time for the best opportunity,” the clear voice said discontentedly.

  “Third Brother, let’s do it,” the white-robed man gave the order.

  “Haha, watch me!” The white-robed man was less than a hundred meters away from a black-armored man, who was standing there in midair. This muscular, black-armored man was nearly three meters tall, and he had a pair of thick, curved horns on his forehead. His hammer-like fists were covered with a crimson pair of gloves.

  The muscular man give a low growl, bending as he suddenly smashed downwards with his fists towards the mountain.

  Soundlessly, the two giant crimson hammer-fists slammed against the mountain.

  “Rumble…”

  Space itself trembled, and instantly, at the location where the two fist blows landed, a deep round crevice that was a meter in diameter suddenly appeared. A large number of shattered stones fell out from this new ‘cave’, and the entire side of the mountain cracked as well, as one savage-looking crevice after another appeared.

  The muscular man stared, then roared furiously, “Motherfucker, break!!!”

  This time, he swung down with open palms, like two giant fan-shaped objects, smashing down upon the cracked mountain. Instantly, the upper part of the mountain, with a “boom”, completely crumbled, and countless stones of various sizes fell down from high above.

  The white-robed man, the black-armored man, and a red-robed, jade-haired woman stood there in midair.

  Linley hadn’t imagined that the enemy would be so powerful. Almost as soon as he had collected his divine wind clone back into his body, such a terrifyingly powerful tremor had gone through the mountain, which actually shattered. Although it didn’t crumble, the insides of the mountain were already damaged.

  The first blow had damaged the insides.

  The second blow seemed to have the power to shatter the heavens and the earth, causing the entire upper half of the mountain to completely collapse.

  “What a powerful material attack.” Bebe couldn’t help but sigh in astonishment. “I imagine this attacker has a Sovereign weapon.” The mountains of the Planar Battlefield were exceedingly tough, on a higher level than even the mountains of the Netherworld and the Infernal Realm. To destroy half of a mountain was something that even most commanders would find difficult.

  “However, they clearly are afraid to come in.” Bebe snickered.

  Linley and Bebe didn’t care about the crumbling mountain per se.

  “Not only are they strong, they are cautious as well. They will be hard to deal with.” Linley held Mirage in his hand as he watched the surrounding boulders come cascading down. As the mountain crumbled, Linley was able to see the outside world, and indistinctly, he was able to make out the figure of a muscular man who had two horns on his forehead.

  “Bebe, let’s flee,” Linley hurriedly shouted through divine sense.

  “Right.” Bebe didn’t hesitate either.

  Linley and Bebe flew directly towards the direction opposite from the muscular man, while at the same time Linley spread out his Blackstone Space. But just as they began to flee, Linley was shocked to find… “There are two people on this side!” Linley’s Blackstone Space easily discovered…

  That a white-robed man and a red-robed, jade-haired woman were standing on each side.

  The white-robed man, the jade-haired woman, and the black-armored man were situated in a triangle.

  No matter where Linley and Bebe fled, the three would still be able to attack in unison.

  “The two of you, don’t even think of running.” The white-robed man swept them with a calm gaze. Although the Blackstone Space was applied to his body, the white-robed man just swayed slightly before counteracting the gravitational pull.

  “Benfield!” Linley’s face was exceedingly ugly to behold right now.

  Linley never would have imagined that the person who had to stop them was actually the legendary ‘Benfield’. He would rather encounter Hemmers than encounter this ‘Benfield’, because…Benfield was a supreme expert who was close to Beirut himself in power!

  Beirut’s book had one bit of advice for someone who encountered Benfield; flee! Think of nothing else, just flee!

  “Bebe, quick, flee towards that red-robed woman. Hurry, flee!” Linley immediately made his decision.

  They had to break out from the direction of the red-robed woman, then escape.

  “Got it, Boss. I didn’t expect it would be Benfield. What horrible luck!” Bebe recognized him as well. Over the past sixty years in the Planar Battlefield, Linley had already provided Bebe with all of the information regarding the supreme experts through their spiritual link.

  “Swoosh!” “Swoosh!”

  Linley and Bebe were like two bolts of lightning, shooting towards the jade-haired woman.

  “Hmph, you want to flee?” The white-robed man and the black-armored man flew towards the red-robed woman at virtually the same instant. Clearly, they wanted to join forces with her and to stop Linley and Bebe.

  Suddenly…

  Linley and Bebe changed directions, fleeing towards the original direction.

  The black-armored man, white-robed man, and red-robed woman reacted very quickly, hurriedly attacking towards and chasing after Linley and Bebe. Unfortunately, Linley had already spread out the ‘Blackstone Space’ around himself. Upon entering the Blackstone Space, Benfield and the other two weren’t able to catch them at all.

  “They actually aren’t willing to give up.” Bebe turned to give them a glance. He couldn’t help but feel frantic.

  “This looks bad.” Linley had a hint of worry in his eyes.

  This was because the white-robed man and the black-armored man had actually flown out of the Blackstone Space. They accelerated from the sides, seemingly planning to block Linley and Bebe from the front.

  “Haha, Third Brother, Second Sister, watch how I’ll block them.” The white-robed man let out a loud laugh. His body moved as fast
as lightning from the side, speeding past Linley and Bebe. And then, he suddenly charged into the Blackstone Space region, his body having transformed into white spots of light.

  Spots of light?

  No. It was multiple extremely thin white lines. Countless extremely thin white lines exploded forth from Benfield’s body, appearing at first glance to be a dazzling radiance. Those countless thin white strands shot out from every direction, surrounding Linley and Bebe, giving them no way to flee.

  Linley and Bebe’s faces instantly changed.

  “Bebe, careful. A soul attack,” Linley hurriedly sent through divine sense.

  “Bastard!” Bebe bellowed, and suddenly he flew out from the side.

  Behind Bebe, an enormous illusion of a Godeater Rat appeared. Bebe’s expression became cold and grim, and he stared unblinkingly at the black-armored warrior. At present, the black-armored warrior was less than two hundred meters away, and he was charging towards Linley and Bebe. He hadn’t imagined that Bebe had a supreme technique such as this.

  “No…!” The black-armored warrior was badly shocked.

  He recognized this. This was Beirut’s supreme technique!

  “Not good! This is Beirut’s innate divine technique!” Previously completely confident, Benfield’s face changed, and he called out nervously, “Second Sister, protect Third Brother!” Bebe’s innate divine ability was simply too fast, and he wasn’t able to stop it. He knew… that right now, only his second sister was able to save his third brother.

  Unfortunately, the red-robed woman was currently a bit too far away. They were unable to communicate by divine sense, only by voice, but how could a vocal shout make it in time? However, clearly the red-robed woman needed no warning. She too knew that her third brother had encountered a dangerous situation. Not hesitating at all, the red-robed woman’s body suddenly transformed…

  “Rumble…”

  Suddenly, the red-robed woman’s body disappeared, and instead, an enormous crimson serpent that was more than a thousand meters long appeared. When it’s coiled body appeared, it naturally was located in front of the black-armored warrior. Its enormous serpentine body easily protected the black-armored warrior’s entire body.

  “Rumble…”

  Bebe’s spiritual energy surged towards the enormous serpentine body, but it was unable to reach the black-armored man.

  “Damnit, yet another one who has a soul-protecting Sovereign artifact,” Bebe sent furiously through divine sense.

  Linley, upon seeing this happen, had already guessed what the result would be. For the red-robed woman to dare act in such a way definitely meant that she was confident this would work against Bebe’s technique. Otherwise, wouldn’t it be as good as suicide?

  “Bebe, quick, flee. Stop wasting time with them,” Linley sent frantically through their mental link. Using his Blackstone Space at full force, Linley hurriedly fled.

  Fighting against Benfield was a no-win proposition.

  “Swoosh!” Bebe hurriedly followed Linley in fleeing at high speed.

  Within the Blackstone Space, the three weren’t able to catch up to Linley and Bebe.

  “Damnit, I thought that it was only Benfield who would be formidable, but who would’ve imagined that the two he brought with him are so powerful as well? That horned fellow’s material attacks are very powerful, while that red-robed woman actually has a soul-protecting Sovereign artifact,” Bebe sent mentally to Linley, complaining. “These three together, with the powerful Benfield leading them… Boss, how are we supposed to fight against them?”

  “Don’t even think of fighting. Flee, and be thankful if we are able to,” Linley said hurriedly.

  The two fled at high speed.

  However, Benfield didn’t want to let the two of them off!

  “You two!” The white-robed Benfield was now truly angry. He cared deeply about his little sister and little brother. “BANG!” Suddenly, a wild surge of energy blasted forth from his body, and an aura of light instantly appeared on his form. Benfield’s speed suddenly increased dramatically!

  “Whoosh!”

  After charging into the Blackstone Space, although Benfield’s speed dropped dramatically, he was actually still faster than Linley and Bebe.

  Linley could clearly sense that this person was quickly catching up to them within the Blackstone Space; he was actually faster than them. Linley turned to look, and was badly startled. “Not good. This Benfield has gone crazy. For the sake of catching us, he’s actually used up a drop of Fate-type Sovereign’s Might!”

  56

  A DEAD END? A NEW BEGINNING!

  Benfield’s speed was far faster than theirs to begin with!

  Linley had the Blackstone Space, but Benfield had used Sovereign’s Might. Now, his speed was still faster than Linley’s! If they just let him chase like this, in just a few hundred meters, they would be caught!

  “Hmph!” Linley willed…

  … his Blackstone Space to suddenly change. The repulsive force transformed into an upwards gravity!

  “Eh?” Benfield’s body couldn’t help but sway, and he actually shot upwards.

  “My Blackstone Space isn’t as simple as that,” Linley thought to himself. At the same time, he began to frantically change the direction of the Blackstone Space’s gravity, from up to down to repulsive. It must be understood that the power of this gravity was tremendous to begin with, and this sort of constant changing caused even Benfield to be affected tremendously.

  Benfield couldn’t help but feel furious.

  “All of you, die!” Benfield’s voice was icy.

  “Whoosh…”

  One translucent arrow after another shot out from Benfield’s body, shooting directly towards Linley and Bebe. Ten translucent arrows sliced through the air towards Linley and Bebe. The speed of this soul attack was extremely fast. Linley and Bebe were only able to dodge very slightly, and four translucent arrows still shot into Linley’s body.

  As for Bebe, his body was struck by three arrows as well.

  Shocked, Linley’s face turned white. “Bebe, use Sovereign’s Might!” Benfield’s soul attack was described in the materials that Beirut had provided. It was extremely terrifying. Now that Benfield was using Fate-type Sovereign’s Might to attack… one could imagine how mighty it was.

  “Rumble…” An earthen-yellow aura instantly spread out from Linley’s body.

  Without hesitating at all, Linley used his earth-type Sovereign’s Might!

  Within Linley’s mind.

  “BANG!” “BANG!” “BANG!” “BANG!” Four translucent arrows struck viciously against the translucent membrane, but shattered like eggs striking against a rock. After shattering, however, they transformed into a large amount of translucent threads that spread out to surround the entire translucent membrane. And then, a large number of threads coiled about, attacking the flaw.

  Countless invisible ‘Voidwave Swords’ shot out, clashing against the translucent threads.

  “I have a soul-protecting Sovereign artifact and used earth-type Sovereign’s Might, but the patch over the opening was still more than half-broken through.” Linley was stunned.

  Linley had rebuilt and repaired the patch over the flaw in his soul-protecting Sovereign Artifact after leaving the Abyssal Mountain. Including the sixty years they had spent in the Planar Battlefield, it had been nearly a century. A hundred years of work was half-wrecked in an instant, and that was after Linley had used earth-type Sovereign’s Might. If he hadn’t used earth-type Sovereign’s Might, he wouldn’t have been able to resist at all.

  “How terrifying. Without this soul-protecting Sovereign artifact, even if I used Sovereign’s Might, I probably wouldn’t be able to endure.” Linley’s face suddenly changed. “Bebe!”

  Bebe had been struck as well.

  “Boss, I’m fine,” Bebe’s voice rang out in Linley’s mind.

  Linley discovered, to his amazement, that Bebe hadn’t used his Sovereign’s Might. However, someho
w, Bebe had still been able to endure the blow despite not using Sovereign’s Might. If he had only relied on a soul-protecting artifact, there was no way he should have been able to do this. “Can it be that what Bebe has isn’t a soul-protecting artifact, but a soul-protecting Sovereign artifact? Or perhaps… Bebe’s soul is very unusual and his soul defense is extremely powerful?”

  This thought flashed through Linley’s mind.

  Right now, however, he couldn’t ponder it in depth, because… things had gotten dangerous!

  “Elder Brother!”

  A deep voice rang out. The black-armored figure was currently standing atop the giant, coiling crimson snake, which was flying over at high speed. The giant crimson snake had already flown to the area in front of Linley and Bebe.

  “Boss, the situation looks bad,” Bebe said frantically.

  “I know.” Of course Linley knew the situation was bad.

  The front was blocked by the giant crimson snake and the black-armored warrior, while Benfield was behind them. They could neither go forward nor go back!

  “How is it that Benfield has two allies such as them? And they aren’t even in the same alliance,” Linley cursed angrily. In the course of his flight, Linley had discovered that Benfield and the other two weren’t in the same alliance; Linley wasn’t able to sense Benfield’s badge’s aura. Clearly, he was an enemy!

  But Linley could clearly sense the auras of the ‘red-robed woman’ who had transformed into a giant crimson snake, along with the black-armored man. Clearly, they were on Linley’s ‘side’.

  People on different sides who had joined into a single squad.

  “Bebe, follow me to flee this way. Hurry!” Linley surrounded Bebe with his earth-type Sovereign power, flying at maximum speed. Linley and Bebe flew towards the side at high speed. By moving in this direction, Benfield wouldn’t be able to attack them easily.

  The power of the Blackstone Space had increased nearly a hundredfold as well, and the terrifying gravitational power made it hard for Benfield to catch them.

  “Swoosh!” Benfield flew out of the Blackstone Space. Within the Blackstone Space, he wasn’t able to catch up to Linley as well. “You two punks, listen up. Today, I, Benfield, will definitely kill you two. Definitely!” his furious voiced echoed in the air.
