Dangerous Encounter (2)

The group of 18 cultivators were all laughing jovially as they walked together. 

They were not aware that they were being watched by Fairy Xuan Xueqi and Ye Fan who were high above them as they were being concealed by the dense tree coverings. 

Also, this was an unintentional encounter by Fairy Xuan Xueqi and Ye Fan as they were trying to throw off the pursuing Titan Wolverines away from them.

Young Master Zheng Tianwu from the Morjinn Martial Sect was laughing jovially, "It is all thanks to Young Master Xi Wugui that we have so much fun in this place."

Elder Yan Daxia from the Lineart Sword Sect was also laughing quite jovially, "That's right. As soon as we have entered into the Undermountain Trial, we have fired our signal flares to alert each other to our locations. As we are the first 3 celestial sects to be inside, no one else will know about this."

Young Master Xi Wugui from the Divine Mist Peak laughed coldly, "The other celestial sects are beneath us. Why should we want to share the profound treasures with them? In this way, we can also have a little fun too…"

As he said that, he began to take a lecherous look at the two naked maidens that were behind him.

The older naked maiden was soaking with tears as she pleaded frantically, "Young Master Xi Wugui… please let us go. We promise you that we won't tell anyone about this. Just let us go… we won't tell anyone that you have killed our fellow protégés. I swear…"

The younger naked maiden was also pleading tearfully, "We are all part of the Aegean Alliance. Please have mercies upon us…"

But Young Master Xi Wugui reacted by slapping her as he coldly said, "You are just meats for us. Whether you are from the Aegean or the Boburi Alliance, it doesn't matter to me."

The Boburi Alliance is an opposing celestial alliance that is opposed to the Aegean Alliance. 

Ye Fan's first encounter with the Boburi Alliance was from the Myriad Swords Sect that had infiltrated the Profound Cloud Sect to steal the Golden Lotus Natal Pill from the Profound Cloud Sect. (Chapter 1).

If it was not for Fairy Xuan Xueqi that was gripping firmly on Ye Fan's shoulder, he would have dashed forward to confront this Young Master Xi Wugui. 

But he soon calmed himself down because there were 3 golden celestials in this group and it was suicide if he were to confront these ruthless cultivators. 

Moreover, he had turned really ashen because of all the places that Fairy Xuan Xueqi was gripping him, she had to grip on his badly injured left shoulder.

Young Master Xi Wugui had suddenly said to Elder Yan Daxia, "You and your celestial sect stay here and wait for us. Young Master Zheng Tianwu and I will go in that direction to take a look…"

He was grinning now because he could sense that there were some slight movements beyond the forest. 

Fairy Xuan Xueqi was also smiling when Young Master Xi Wugui had taken most of the group to investigate in the direction where they had just come from. 

It was because Fairy Xuan Xueqi knows that a nest of vicious Titan Wolverines was in that direction.

Very soon, it was only Elder Yan Daxia and his group of 4 other protégés that were left behind.

They were all from the Lineart Sword Sect.

Elder Yan Daxia was now saying viciously to the two maidens, "Darn, your puny sect has dared to kill two of my protégés. If I do not extract payment from the two of you today, then I am not fitted to be called Yan Daxia…"

All of a sudden Fairy Xuan Xueqi had dashed down upon him with her heaven-step divine sword to attack him!

Even though Elder Yan Daxia was caught by surprise, his profound aura was triggered automatically by the sudden killing intents and he had blocked Fairy Xuan Xueqi's attack.

Now a fight between 2 cultivators is different from a fight between two non-cultivators; it is because a cultivator is protected by the cultivation profound energies that they have cultivated. When under attack, their profound aura will be automatically triggered. That is why without profound strength, it is extremely difficult to hurt a cultivator.

It is also the reason why bows and crossbows are not a popular weapon in the cultivation world because these weapons are not able to hurt a cultivator as well as a direct weapon. 

Even if a cultivator can imbue his profound strength into a arrow, the profound energies will quickly dissipate by the time it reaches the opposing cultivator; it will be bounced off harmlessly away by the profound aura of the cultivator. 

The stronger a cultivator's realm level is, the more powerful is his profound aura and defense will be.

So even though Fairy Xuan Xueqi had taken the initiative but she still failed to make a successful attack as her opponent Elder Yan Daxia was also a golden celestial at the 5th True Origin cultivation realm.

But unfortunately for the 2 proteges of the Lineart Sword Sect that was next to Elder Yan Daxia, they were quickly slain by Fairy Xuan Xueqi when she was swinging her divine sword as they were in her way. 

Against a 5th realm cultivator like Fairy Xuan Xueqi, these 2 protégés completely stood no chances at all! 

The other 2 protégés had barely raised their swords to attack Fairy Xuan Xueqi when Ye Fan had also suddenly appeared behind them as he attacked them.

These 2 protégés were actually in the 3rd and 4th realm cultivation and were technically stronger than Ye Fan.

But Ye Fan fought with tenacity and he had even wounded the 3rd realm cultivator that was fighting him! 

One must know that Ye Fan had a sparring match with Xuan Manyu who was a 4th cultivation realm inner protégé of the Profound Cloud Sect and he was on par with her. 

Even though these two opposing cultivators were also core protégés but Ye Fan still had the superior swordplay that he had learnt from the Six Aura Swords. 

But he got a problem and that was that he was facing two higher level cultivation realm core protégés at the same time so he was not able to gain any advantage. Moreover, he was also injured in his left shoulder and he could only use just a arm to fight.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi was startled when Ye Fan had suddenly flashed in to join her in the fight. 

She thought shockingly: He is not afraid to die? 

As for why she was also acting quite irrational by dashing in to fight Elder Yan Daxia, it was because she felt indignant by the cruelties of these cultivators. 

But so was Ye Fan when he had joined in the fight; he was feeling quite indignant as well.

The two of them were actually on the same page on this.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi had no time to focus on Ye Fan for now as a battle between two golden celestials were never easy.

For a cultivator to become a golden cultivator, they all have exceptional cultivation and talents. 

Also, a golden celestial unlike a normal cultivator, can even regenerate their wounds with the visible eyes like a profound beast and their golden bodies are also harder. Even if they lose all their limbs and damaged their organs, given enough time, they can still fully regenerate.

In short, golden celestials are hard to kill and the only way to kill them is to behead them or to completely destroys their hearts.

Fairy Xuan Xueqi had now displayed her sword as she sent 6 burning blue swords to explode over Elder Yan Daxia.

This was her Profound Burning Heavens Swords, a more powerful version of the Six Aura Swords.

But Elder Yan Daxia was fully prepared for the profound attack as he mustered his profound defense to absorb the profound swords.

He shouted loudly, "Iron Shroud of the Apostle's Wall!"

Fairy Xuan Xueqi was started, "You have learnt the Iron Shroud of the Apostle's Wall?!"

This defensive profound skill was an epic defensive profound skill of the Lineart Sword Sect. 

Elder Yan Daxia laughed jovially, "The Lineart Sword Sect is a major celestial sect. Naturally we have many powerful profound arts that Fairy Xuan Xueqi cannot imagined. Why don't you submit to me and I let you off? I can take you to the nine heavens and you will have an unforgettable experience…"

But Fairy Xuan Xueqi interrupted him coldly, "Disgusting, filthy man!"
