Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Mysterious Lake
The Slaying Immortal Sword array was something Jiang Xiaobai was reluctant to deploy here.
It could slay Arcanists at the Major Cycle stage. There was no need to use it against the likes of such minor characters. That would be a complete waste.
Immediately, the golden radiance in front of Jiang Xiaobai became even brighter. Under the astounded gaze of the Creepy Dude, a small, golden pagoda swiftly flew toward him.
Watching as the golden miniature pagoda rapidly grew larger in his sight, the Creepy Dude’s eyes widened in disbelief.
“Impossible!”>
“Everyone, block it for me!”
With the roaring of the Creepy Dude, hundreds of shadowy figures encircled him, trying to block the golden pagoda.
What a pity! They vastly underestimated the power of the Seven Treasures Pagoda!
“Boom!”
The Seven Treasures Pagoda dropped from the sky, its massive body sweeping everything, repressing all falsehoods!
The attempt of hundreds of figures to halt it could only delay the pagoda for a moment before it was abruptly crushed.
Dark blood splashed around, shocking everyone!
At least half of the dark silhouettes in front of the Creepy Dude were annihilated. The Creepy Dude’s eyes almost popped out.
“What kind of treasure is this!” the Creepy Dude exclaimed in surprise.
“Hmph, the treasure that will take your life!”
Jiang Xiaobai’s face started to turn pale as his spiritual power was drained away, but he still directed the Seven Treasures Pagoda towards the Creepy Dude.
The Creepy Dude’s face twisted in anger. As he roared, black gasses suddenly appeared behind him. These gases transformed in midair into human forms, creating again hundreds of dark silhouettes that were all at the Late Stage of Fusion!
These silhouettes rushed forward fearlessly, trying to block the incoming Seven Treasures Pagoda.
After another rumbling oppression, many of them were lost once again.
“Just as I thought!”
Jiang Xiaobai smirked when he saw the Creepy Dude’s bizarre tactics. The Seven Treasures Pagoda began to hover around his shoulder in a much smaller size.
“Is that all you got?”
The Creepy Dude sneered relentlessly, his expression grotesquely distorted, once again summoning black gases behind him.
Following this, these black gases materialized into a hazy illusion. There were numerous human and beast forms, and even an unknown massive creature was part of them!
The manifestation of this scene was horrific!
“Jiang Xiaobai, your struggles are futile in this place. It’s all in vain!”
“Prepare to die!”
The Creepy Guy laughed incessantly, urging the numerous figures behind him to charge towards Jiang Xiaobai and the group.
Seeing this scene, Ao Yan knitted her brows, gripping her sword hilt tightly, prepared to risk it all in a decisive battle.
It was during this intense moment that Jiang Xiaobai began to smirk.
“Who said I was playing here with you?”
“If you dare, come out and play!”
Following this, the Seven Treasures Pagoda emitted a golden light, drawing in two other people. Then a random teleportation scroll appeared in his hand.
This was exchanged with the five thousand credits!
“Creepy Dude, right? Tomb guardian of the Sacred City, right?”
“I’ll remember you!”
As the space distorted, Jiang Xiaobai’s figure disappeared from the spot.
Inside the special tomb-space, the Creepy Dude watched as Jiang Xiaobai vanished right before his eyes and stood there, stunned.
He had survived for tens of thousands of years and had encountered all sorts of powerful figures, but he had never seen such a trick!
What was Jiang Xiaobai?
“Argh, damn it, damn it!”
“Jiang Xiaobai, no matter where you hide, even if it’s at the ends of the earth, you won’t escape from my grasp!”
The Creepy Dude went into a helpless rage.
He could only express his anger, because with the random teleportation scroll, Jiang Xiaobai himself didn’t know where he’d end up, let alone the Creepy Dude!
But in the end, Jiang Xiaobai managed to escape from the bizarre tomb-space using such maneuvers.
After a flash of white light, Jiang Xiaobai appeared over a lake, unable to react in time, and plunged into it.
Splash, water flew everywhere.
Jiang Xiaobai: “F**k, another lake. Can the next teleportation avoid being like this?”
After struggling out of the lake, he hurriedly released Ao Yan and the others while dragging his injured body.
“Why did you run away, Jiang Xiaobai? Isn’t your pagoda so powerful? Smash that bastard!” Ao Cheng shouted.
It was obvious that he was seriously annoyed by the Creepy Dude’s creepy attitude.
Jiang Xiaobai rolled his eyes: “He’s not killable. The guy is incredibly strange, seeming to possess some sort of special power within that space.”
“I feel… unless I can shatter the space on the spot, he’s unkillable!”
“At least that’s true within that space.”
Soon after he finished speaking, Ao Yan nodded along: “This person is indeed mysterious. He does not appear like a living practitioner at all, and the spiritual aura on him was cold and mixed, as if he emanates a deathly aura.”
Their guesses were mostly correct, or else Jiang Xiaobai would probably have risked an all-out battle. Why would he run away so easily?
After all, he was a man who pays back his grudges on the spot!
“Let’s leave it at that. Where are we now?” Ao Cheng shook his head and looked at the surroundings: “I feel something weird about this place. The fog on the lake is too dense, so much so that my mind probe can’t detect far.”
Jiang Xiaobai himself didn’t know where they were, so he cautiously decided to wait and see.
However, when he plunged into the lake earlier, he did not feel any particular danger and still didn’t sense anything up until now.
The three of them cautiously flew over the lake while consuming some pellets to restore their injuries.
But as time passed, they began to notice something off.
They had flown for quite a long time and had not yet seen any landforms except the surface of the lake?
Most importantly, whilst they were cautious, they were also swift. They had flown quite a distance in that amount of time, at least a few thousand miles in range.
“Damn, is this lake really this massive?” Ao Cheng scratched his head: “Also, do you feel something odd in this place? It’s dreadfully gloomy.”
Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes, his expression severe.
He had, of course, also sensed it. The misty water surface of the lake gave off an illusion of a fairy-country-like place to those who didn’t know the truth.
But in reality, this large lake held no trace of life at all!
There wasn’t even a single tiny live shrimp to be found in the lake!
“Let’s forget it. We will find something in some direction.”
Ao Yan said coldly, and they continued to press ahead.
Fortunately, about ten minutes after their continuation, they finally saw the shore in front of them. They carefully landed on the shore, looked back at the huge lake, and were all shocked.
The lake was at least tens of thousands of miles wide.
“Ahem!”
Just at this moment, a dry cough came from the foggy shore. The three of them were on high alert as they looked towards the direction from where the sound came.
From the fog, a hunched figure slowly emerged. The figure was an old man, with sparse hair and ragged clothes.
If it hadn’t been for their detection of the old man’s cultivation aura, they would have taken him for a beggar.
The…Major Cycle Late Stage?
