Chapter 197: Three Sneak Attacks
Each immortal had their own path for breaking the shackles or mortality. Beasts and demons all had their own secrets. The pair of flame and ice wolves did not cultivate any flame or ice secret art like the human cultivators of Glacier Palace and Divine Blazing Mountain. Their breakthrough might have come from feasting on the flesh of humans, weaker beasts, and even demons. Or perhaps similar to Jasmine, they had innate affinities towards elements that went beyond human understanding.
The two wolves were able to hold Jasmine within their domains. Though if she really chose to leave, it was uncertain if they would be able to prevent her. Jasmine would probably run out of energy first in the standoff but it would still be a while before that happened. The key to the battle was the greater goblin. It was supposed to be helping but it was instead focused completed on the wrong prey.
Greater goblins were still pretty much the same as ordinary goblins and were demons born to kill and eat. It probably had a lucky encounter and managed to eat a few corpses of powerful beings. Although it was not one of the demons that gained power through s.e.x, it still had a strong s.e.x.u.a.l appetite and it especially liked to play with females before turning them into food.
The greater goblin was supposed to stay with the plan and finish off Jasmine but he was instantly consumed by bloodl.u.s.t at the sight of Chen Wentian's other disciples. Long Yifei looked especially ravishing like a shining star among a beautiful constellation.
The greater goblin finally finished its transformation and its spiritual aura soared. It gathered its full immortal energy and charged towards the girls like a mountain of vile flesh. Su Xue and Su Yue had managed to make it into Tortoise Can Fly but the others were still outside.
In an instant, the greater goblin arrived in front of them and a long, clawed arm shot out towards Long Yifei. It was about to grab her when a transparent golden shield that appeared out of nowhere.
Bam!
The greater goblin was knocked back ten steps and shook his dizzy head. It was still quite a powerful Spirit Lord and quickly recovered.
"What? What is this?" The goblin yelled.
It saw the golden wall and clawed at it but it wasn't very effective. It managed to leave deep grooves but those quickly regenerated. The shield also completely blocked its spiritual energy and it could not touch Long Yifei at all.
"Come here!" It screamed in rage.
Its green spiritual energy exploded and crashed upon the golden shield, making it creak and groan. The green goblin immortal was a demon that cultivated bodily strength above all else. It wasn't very intelligent but it made up for it in raw strength and close-range combat ability.
"Chengcheng, can you hold?" Wu Qianyu yelled in alarm.
"I can!" Lin Qingcheng cried, "Master says it can hold so it can hold!"
In these few seconds, the ice sisters all managed to get into the tortoise carriage. Long Yifei was also about to make it in and only the trio who held immortal items were left defending.
The green goblin howled upon seeing its prey hide in the weird carriage and doubled its efforts. The golden shell started to develop cracks and some of the green spiritual aura started to seep in.
The three girls would have panicked but Chen Wentian was speaking to all of them through his soul art.
"Chengcheng, don't be afraid, hold your ground! Ziyun, Qianyu, attack on three. Ready?" His bodiless voice sounded in their ears, comforting their shaking hearts.
"Yes master!"
"One two THREE!"
Two flashes of light blinded the green goblin, one purple and one white.
First Movement, Slash the World!
First Flight, Dragon Snatching the Sea!
The goblin had its claws on the golden shield and left its torso open. The attacks from two Spirit Lord weapons went through the golden shield and pierced it, much to its surprise. The attacks were backed by Chen Wentian's soul energy and broke through the goblin's spiritual aura and its tough immortal body.
It screamed in pain. "Ahhhh! Vile humans! I'll kill you all!"
But before it could move, a ring of blue flames erupted around its feet. Chen Wentian had finally sneaked up behind it without being detected and entombed it in a devastating inferno.
"Yaaahhhhh! HyaaaaaaaHHH!"
The goblin screamed in agony and tried to fly away but Chen Wentian forced it back to the ground with a jet of flames. They were both soon lost in a sea of fire and his disciples could no longer tell what was happening in there. They didn't remain and quickly retreated into the safety of Tortoise Can Fly and watched everything from inside.
Within the inferno, the goblin swiped and punched at the fire around him, trying but failing to find Chen Wentian. The ground had already melted into a molten lake and every breath it took of the flaming air charred its throat and lungs. Every second it stayed in there, its skin and flesh were being quickly turned into ash. Even with its powerful body, if it didn't escape, it would have no hope.
The goblin tried to fly away again but how could Chen Wentian let his precious new cultivation resource run away? He grabbed its legs and pulled it back into the inferno.
"Ahhhh, save me! Mercy!" It panicked and started to beg. "Spare me, I'll be your slave!"
"No chance." Chen Wentian said simply and increased the temperature to cook the demon alive.
The green goblin couldn't overcome the destructive power of blue dragon flames and it was quickly consumed. Its powerful body was filled with a vast reservoir of strength that pitifully could not be used to its full potential. If it had not been wounded heavily by the sword and saber strikes initially, it probably would have been able to escape. If it had sensed Chen Wentian beforehand, might have been able to avoid the flame domain.
Sneak attacks were usually fatal, even in battles between immortals. The green goblin suffered not one but three sneak attacks so its fate was sealed. Its body turned to ash layer by layer as it burned to death. It held onto the last fragment of its life bitterly before its spiritual aura finally failed and the flames consumed everything.
In the that last moment between life and death, Chen Wentian's soul art activated. The last of the green goblin's body disintegrated as its soul was forcibly ripped out and transported into a different realm, the endless soul space that was Chen Wentian's true power.
The green goblin cried out in surprise as it awoke in this black space filled with shining stars. It almost felt like it had been reborn into a new world. But its momentary joy was quickly squashed by sheer terror when it realized it could not move. It couldn't even use a single bit of spiritual energy.
It screamed and screamed but it didn't change the fact that it was trapped in this vast emptiness.
