The Art of Chaotic Divinity-Chapter 1344: He Brought This on Himself

Clang!

Wang Ruquan raised his hand and released a streak of blood colored sword light that shot forward and sliced cleanly through a massive boulder.

"Hahaha! As expected of an inner sect disciple of the Dongling Immortal Pool. Your strength is indeed impressive."

A black shadow skimmed through the air. A middle aged man burst out from behind the shattered rock and landed lightly on top of it, steady and unshaken.

His aura was deep and imposing. He was unmistakably an Extreme Human Emperor!

At the same time, more than ten figures poured out one after another from a hidden passage beneath the boulder. All of them wore identical attire, their killing intent surging as they closed in on Wang Ruquan and surrounded him completely.

"You are the bandits who attacked the inner sect disciples of the Dongling Immortal Pool?"

Wang Ruquan's expression remained cold. Even when encircled by more than ten enemies, he showed no trace of panic.

This was the confidence of a Creation Star Ranking expert. Even if the opponent was also an Extreme Human Emperor, he had no reason to fear.

Moreover, the enemy leader was at most a first stage Extreme Human Emperor.

Aside from that leader who would require some effort to deal with, the rest were nothing more than mobs that could be suppressed with ease. Even if they tried to flee, he guarded the valley entrance while Li Fei and her group sealed the rear. These bandits had nowhere to run.

The black-clad leader curled his lips into a sneer. "That's right. It is us."

"How dare you provoke the Dongling Immortal Pool. Speak honestly. What exactly are you plotting by intercepting our disciples?"

Wang Ruquan stood with his sword in hand, his gaze locked onto the bandit leader as killing intent slowly spread from his body.

"You are not qualified to know."

The black-clad leader sneered coldly. "I only hope I can extract the information I want from you."

It turned out their deliberate attacks on Dongling Immortal Pool disciples were meant to obtain some kind of intelligence from inner sect members.

"Hmph! Mere thieves dare set their sights on the Dongling Immortal Pool. How laughable!"

Wang Ruquan was extremely arrogant. He sneered without speaking further. "It does not matter how stubborn you are now. Once I take you back to the Immortal Pool, the elders will have plenty of ways to make you talk!"

"Oh?"

A cruel curve appeared at the corner of the black-clad leader's mouth. "You really cannot see the situation clearly!"

"With just you worms, you think you can deal with me? Die!"

Wang Ruquan's eyes flashed with cold light. His blood sword arced like a rainbow as it slashed through the air.

Unexpectedly, the black-clad leader sidestepped and avoided the strike with ease. He sneered and said, "I am not your opponent!"

Wang Ruquan's heart lurched as a sense of danger surged within him.

In the next instant, a black beam shot down from the fierce winds high above!

It arrived without sound and moved like a ghost.

Caught completely off guard, Wang Ruquan was struck on the spot.

"Pff!"

He spat out a mouthful of blood. A fist sized hole was blasted through his left shoulder, blood pouring out as a wave of weakness washed over him.

In truth, if Wang Ruquan had not sensed the danger at the final moment and barely shifted away from a vital point, that black beam would have completely stripped him of the ability to resist.

Even so, he was already heavily injured. As a sword cultivator, an injury to his arm meant he had lost nearly half his combat strength.

Most terrifying of all was the fact that when the enemy struck, he had not detected the opponent's presence at all.

They came without a trace and vanished without a shadow!

A chill crept into Wang Ruquan's heart. Could the opponent be even stronger than him?

"Caw! Caw!"

At that moment, harsh and grating cries echoed from the sky. A gigantic crow as tall as a grown man flapped its broad wings and circled in the raging wind before folding its wings and landing on the black-clad leader's shoulder.

At such altitude, even an Extreme Human Emperor would struggle against the violent gales. Yet this bizarre black crow was able to control the wind itself and bend it to its will!

At the center of the crow's brow was a third eye that looked like a pool of blood, radiating an extremely sinister aura. The black beam earlier had been fired from that blood red eye.

"G-Ghost Eye Frost Crow?"

When Wang Ruquan saw the blood colored eye on the crow's forehead, he sucked in a sharp breath as his scalp went numb!

Who had not heard of the Ghost Eye Frost Crow?

This creature was an ice type abnormal species with an extremely special bloodline that allowed it to manipulate the winds between heaven and earth.

A demon emperor level Ghost Eye Frost Crow could overwhelm Human Emperors of the same realm with sheer speed. What made it truly terrifying was the third blood eye, which could unleash devastating soul attacks!

Wang Ruquan might not fear Extreme Human Emperors of the same tier, but once struck by the Ghost Eye Frost Crow's "spiritual consciousness ray", the lightest outcome was hallucination while the worst was immediate unconsciousness. When surrounded by enemies, falling into hallucinations was essentially a death sentence.

Cold sweat poured down Wang Ruquan's back. Today, he might truly die here.

What filled him with even greater regret was that he had sent all his "pawns" into the snow valley. Now he stood alone.

Those who commit their own sins cannot live. He had intended to trade the lives of outer sect disciples for contribution points. Now he finally realized the truth.

He himself was the big fish they intended to reel in!

"Damn it!"

He endured the intense pain surging from his shoulder. The Ghost Eye Frost Crow's attack was vicious. A ring of black energy still coiled around the wound, constantly eroding his body. The longer this dragged on, the higher his chance of death.

At that point, there was only one option left.

Run!

Li Fei and the others were guarding the rear of Snow Wolf Valley. As long as he could reunite with Li Fei, there might still be a chance to survive.

Without another thought, Wang Ruquan turned and fled. He looked no different from a beaten stray dog, with none of his earlier confidence remaining.

"You think you can escape?"

The black-clad leader sneered and glanced at the crow on his shoulder. He said calmly, "Ghost Eye Emperor, he is yours. I will handle the rest of the Dongling Immortal Pool disciples."

The Ghost Eye Frost Crow spread its enormous wings and soared into the sky. Black feathers swirled around its body as dark light flashed. In the next moment, it transformed into a cold faced adult man with wings beating behind his back. He spoke in a human voice. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

"He took one strike from me. Even if he runs to the ends of the world, he will never escape my grasp."

As soon as he finished speaking, a sharp whistling sound rang out. The Ghost Eye Frost Crow vanished into the raging wind, riding it at a speed far beyond what Wang Ruquan could hope to match.

Within this snow valley, the Ghost Eye Frost Crow was the absolute ruler of heaven and earth.

The black-clad leader sneered and waved his hand toward his subordinates. His voice was icy.

"The hunt begins!"

...

Unbeknownst to them, everything was clearly reflected within Ling Feng's Boundless Vision.

From the very beginning, Ling Feng had grasped the enemy's positions perfectly.

That was the advantage of Boundless Vision. There was no need to release spiritual consciousness, which meant there was no risk of alerting the enemy. Every movement of the opposition lay fully exposed before his eyes, yet they could not sense his existence at all.

This was a power that could only be described as outright cheating.

Ling Feng had originally considered warning Wang Ruquan. However, since Wang Ruquan had planned to use him as bait, Ling Feng saw no reason to show mercy.

People like that deserved to die sooner rather than later!
