Ambush

In a scorching deset-like world filled woth nothing but sand and fallen architecture, a group of young people were surrpunding a single person who was undergoing the process of accepting an inheritance.

Within the Gu Feixu, there were numerous inheritances that were hidden and waiting to be discovered. As a blinding light shined upon the body of one young man, the physical manifestation of their Way of Spears could be seen growing stronger by the naked eye.

After a while, the light dimmed, as the young man had completely absorbed the entirety of the inheritance into himself. After absorbing the inheritance, the young man seemed like an extremely sharp sword that could inflict damage just by setting ones gaze on him. There was something slightly different about this young man, which the Celestial Lotus Sect disciples couldn't quite make out.

In Yan Lenglei's eyes, the inheritance was extremely ordinary, however for these disciples, it was an extremely powerful inheritance. Afterall, even the ruler of the entire Great Solar Realm was only at the peak of the Marquess Realm. The inheritance of a peak Viscount that was already half a foot into the Earl Realm was exceedingly rare.

Another factor was that the inheritance left behind on this battlefield may only be at this level. Afterall, a large war had went on in which countless experts lost their lives. Obviously, there wouldn't be much time for them to be able to leave behind an inheritance for the future generation while fighting for their lives.

Searching further into the distance, he couldn't see any traces of other inheritance that had been left behind. With his vision, he could see in every single direction, including above and below himself. At the same time, his cultivation base was still low, which limited his sight, in which there could be an inheritance hidden beyond his sight.

After receiving the inheritance, the disciple who had absorbed it joined the group. With Ning Lianqi leading once again, they explored in search of the rest of the disciples from the sect, as well as any inheritance that they may come upon by chance.

A few days later, a powerful surge of Spiritual Qi could be felt. It was night time, in which everyone was resting, as well as absorbing the rich Spiritual Qi inside the Gu Feixu, working towards the way to make a breakthrough. After a few days within the Mini World, someone had finally made a breakthrough.

Opening their eyes, a young girl felt the changes in her Spiritual Qi after she had broken through. This girl was Ning Lianqi. After just more than a week inside the Gu Feixu, her cultivation base had gone from the First Stage of the Noble Realm, to the Second Stage of the Noble Realm. With this breakthrough, it was obvious that she was much stronger than before.

Her breakthrough had caught the attention of the other disciples who congratulated her, before they continued to cultivate without disturbing anyone. The next morning, the group went out to continue the journey.

A few shi of time later, the group stopped. From afar, they could see a group of disciples dressed in black, that were looking towards them with unfriendly gazes. Obviously, they were waiting to ambush the group that were passing by without staying hidden, which meant they were extremely confident in their own strength.

Looking forward, the strongest fighter in the opponent's group was only at the Eight Stage of the Noble Realm. There was no powerful Spiritual Tool that could enhance his combat strength greatly, which meant that they could deal with them.

As the disciples of both sides drew their weapons, a surge of powerful Spiritual Qi could be sensed on both sides. Immediately, both sides attacked without waiting for the other. Concepts of different kinds were released at the same time, as two sides began to clash. The stronger disciples faced the stronger ones, while the weaker ones faced the weaker disciples. Clearly, a better strategy was for the stronger disciples to quickly eliminate the weaker disciples so that they had less people to deal with, obviously both sides were either confident in their own prowess, or neither side were smart enough to do so.

Standing at the back without getting involved, Yan Lenglei, Mo Jidong, and Long He Yu watched the battle from a short distance away. In the middle of the fight, a disciple from the other sect slashed down his opponent and charged towards them, seeking his own death.

Boom!

Mo Jidong gently tapped the ground beneath him, as large cracks began to trail towards the discople heading in their direction. The ground cracked extremely fast, giving the opponent no time to react, as he quickly fell inside and was buried alive in sand. Since nobody was paying attention to this, they naturally wouldn't notice that one disciple had disappeared.

As the battle raged on, both sides were injured, with both sides having casualties. A few disciples on each side had died and would never return to their respective sects. Both sides seemed to be completely even and in a deadlock, with neither side gaining even the slightest edge over the other.

Ning Lianqi had just cut down her opponent, while the only Body Refiner of the Celestial Lotus Sect had broken the bones of his opponent, crushing him. Both of them were injured, but nothing was major since they could overwhelm their opponents. Very quickly, the two sides changed strategy and focused on eliminating as many people as they could.

Raising his eyebrow, Mo Jidong sensed a powerful Late Stage Second Grade Demonic Beast heading in their location. Obviously, it had sensed the ongoing battle and wanted to come and swoop in dozens of prey at once. Behind it, were two more Late Stage Second Grade Demonic Beasts that gave off a slightly weaker aura.

Leaving their spot, away from the conflict, Yan Lenglei's group disappeared in the blink of an eye and headed to intercept the three Demonic Beasts.

Roar!

Three large Demonic Beasts that resembled antelopes roared at the three humans that appeared in front of them. Splitting off to fight one opponent each, Yan Lenglei took on the strongest of the three, while Mo Jidong took on the second strongest, leaving the weakest for Long He Yu. Even though all three were of the Late Stage, there was still some disparity in their battle prowess.

Of course, they could also use this chance to have Long He Yu fight an opponent that was much stronger than him to learn, however they weren't on there on in thr Gu Feixu. With the need to return after this battle, they quickly urged their cultivation bases to the highest level.

Whoosh!

As a large antelope headed for Long He Yu, he immediately split into three with two clones that were identical to himself. Raising his rod, Long He Yu and his clones dashed forward against his opponent.

Roar!

The antelopes' horns shined brightly with red light, as its horns grew larger suddenly and could stretch to an extremely long range. Avoiding the horns, Long He Yu and his water clones took a step sideways and forward, as an overbearing tsunami of Water Qi erupted from behind him. The tsunami was extremely large, being able to cover the entire surroundings of over two li. Of course, he controlled it and limited it to the space in which he would fight against the antelope.

Hiding within the tsunami, the antelopes' movements were thrown off, while it was physically slower than before. even though it didn't suffer any damage like it thought that it would, it only became slower and more sluggish than before. Of course, this was intended by Long He Yu, which was all he needed to end this fight.

The black rod in his hand shined with five elements, as he quickly appeared in three different directions around the antelope and smashed down as hard as he could.

Bang!

Long He Yu's rod came down hard, smashing intonthe thick hide of the Demonic Beast, and cracking its armor. Lifting his arm, he quickly smashed down hard again just moments later, not giving his opponent any chance. It only took a few hits from him and his clones for the antelope to become lifeless. Since it was slowed, it couldn't move as it was used to, making it hard to react to Long He Yu's surging attacks.

As the battle ended, the tsunami of Water Spiritual Qi dispersed into thin air, while the two water clones became raindrops and dripped into the sand, leaving behind a lone figure.

Boom!

Nearby, a youth in black was surrounded by a thick Demonic Aura. The Demonic Aura was pitch-black and extremely overbearing. As the antelope felt this aura, it was weakened considerably just from the aura alone. As if a Demon Emperor had arrived to deal with it. It felt like kneeling to Mo Jidong who was just a step away from it.

Roar!

Mo Jidong's hands were surrounded by black flames and his Demonic Aura. Grabbing the antelopes horns, he clenched his fists and squeezed.

Crack!

With his extremely tyrannical physical strength that was unrivaled, he crushed the antelopes' horns using his bare hands with ease. After crushing its horns, Mo Jidong grabbed its neck and body, before holeing it in the air and ripped it apart.

Roar!

The antelopes' head and body were seperated in an instant, while its limbs and blood were revealed and peeking out from its body. After shredding apart the antelope, Mo Jidong threw it on the ground like trash, before wiping his hands and crossing them together.

Mo Jidong and Long He Yu had finished off their opponents quickly. At the same time, Yan Lenglei had his arms behind him. Standing back, the Demonic Beast charged at him with its greatest strength and speed that it could muster. Even though Yan Lenglei didn't have a Demonic Aura like Mo Jidong did, the Demonic Beast felt that he was the biggest threat of the three humans.

It used all of its power hoping to finish off Yan Lenglei who was looking at it without emotion, as if he was looking at a corpse. As the anteloped got closer, it suddenly started slowing down, before completely stopping just three meters away from the former.

Whoosh!

A floating sword appeared above the dead Demonic Beast that was split into countless parts in an instant. It hadn't even seen how it had died, before it did so. He hadn't felt any pain, before it suddenly stopped breathing, while it saw that its head was tilting sideways to the left, while its body was tilting to the right.

The floating sword quickly disappeared, as Yan Lenglei's group quickly returned to the battle between the Celestial Lotus Sect and the other sect that were waiting in ambush.
