Chapter 1069: Opportunity
On the land of danger, the sunlight was so bleak that it was charming, and it shone down on the ground.
Ou Yangming sensed the violent fluctuation of spiritual Qi and looked at the colorful spiritual light in the space. He looked around and chuckled.
“You fooled me?” Long Xiao and Long Ting uttered in a cold voice. Their eyes were bloodthirsty. If news about this spread, the 4 Rulers would surely be ridiculed by the powerhouses in the Great Wide World.
4 Rulers were actually fooled by a Venerable One. How stupid must they be? They were Rulers, who were a small group of powerhouses at the top of the pyramid in the Great Wide World! When they looked at the smiling Ou Yangming below, they felt a burning pain on their faces.
Given… Given their IQ, how did they even become Rulers?
For example, in a tavern, a waiter holding a tray of liquor bent down and said in a low voice, “Have you heard? 4 Rulers from the Dragons and the Phoenixes were fooled by a Venerable One.”
“It can’t be?” A customer chewed a scallion in his mouth. The smell of it was very strong.
“Tsk, tsk, why not? You have no idea. Let me tell you…”
Would such a scene be shocking enough? Would it be spicy enough?
Moreover, once something like this spread, it would certainly become a popular topic. A Venerable One fooled Rulers. This was a rare thing that would only happen once in tens of thousands of years. What was more, the Venerable One fooled all 4 Rulers at once. It was f*cking too much.
Therefore, at this moment, the 4 Rulers were in a terrible mood.
On the other hand, Ou Yangming could not care less. He was in a great mood at the moment. He chuckled innocently and cleared his throat before he repeated, “I was just passing by unintentionally and didn’t intend to disturb you. You guys continue, continue!!” As he said this, he even spread out his hands.
“Despicable!” The 4 Rulers gritted their teeth at the same time. The young fellow was undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire.
They exchanged a look and saw the meaningful look in each other’s eyes.
The Rulers had a tacit understanding that they would keep this matter to themselves and would not tell anyone else. After all, the fewer people who knew about this shameful matter, the better. If it was not for the fact that they were equally matched and could not do anything to one another, they would certainly kill each other to ensure that the matter would not be leaked.
Cold winds whimpered as if they were sobbing. The land was barren, and yellow sand could be seen everywhere
The 4 powerhouses were contending with each other, but they stopped and did not make a move.
Nonetheless, their eyes were burning as if they could burn everything. The more extraordinary Ou Yangming’s performance was, the more it showed how precious the Phoenixes’ Imperial Bloodline was. Naturally, the benefits he would receive in the future would be indescribable.
Ou Yangming calmed down and thought to himself, ‘The hatred between them is extremely deep. Besides, both sides want to obtain the Bloodline Power in my body. Only by making good use of this will I have a chance to escape.’ Indeed, that was the truth. The 4 Rulers had stopped for the Bloodline Power and were preparing for an even more violent attack. Even so, a large portion of their attention was on Ou Yangming. As long as the young fellow made a slight move, they would subdue him without any hesitation.
Therefore, Ou Yangming did not make any unusual movements. Instead, he acted very cooperatively.
Rulers were old monsters who had lived for more than 1,000 years.
They might not be able to win victories in battles by working out splendid plans from afar, but they could do so if they were close to where the fight was taking place.
At this time, there was an undercurrent between both sides.
Long Xiao cast a vague glance at Long Xiao and transmitted his voice, ‘Judging from the way Feng Yi’s acting, he can’t hold it in any longer. The young fella’s only a Venerable One, but he’s not easy to deal with. If Feng Yi doesn’t fully unleash his power, he won’t be able to catch the fella.’ As he said this, he recalled the illusory Yin-Yang Fish again in his mind. It seemed real and illusory, but also illusory and real.
‘I know. Then what should I do?’ Long Xiao replied.
‘As long as Feng Yi makes a move, the first attack will surely be blocked by the young fella. When the time comes for when Ou Yangming’s adjusting his Qi momentum, seize the opportunity and abduct him. I’ll hold Feng Yi and Feng Ai back and then find a chance to escape. This way, we’ll be able to bag the Imperial Bloodline. By then, we might be able to fight for control over this Great Wide World.’ The voice sounded a little hurried as it resounded in Long Xiao’s mind.
‘Okay!’ Long Xiao looked back at Long Ting without showing any emotion.
At this moment, Feng Yi roared, “Attack!”
The voice set off a boundless rumble, and the space within 333 meters from him exploded. Countless interspatial disturbances surged up majestically. Just Feng Yi’s voice alone had this kind of power. One could imagine just how formidable he was. He was a Ruler, after all, so every attack from him was tainted with a trace of the power of laws. The 3,000 great paths were all different, but they had one thing in common, and that was that their powers were unparalleled and could dominate the world.
As soon as this voice was gone, the chemistry between Feng Yi and Feng Ai was displayed. They were twins, and their chemistry was hard to imagine. With one look and one move, they could clearly understand what each other wanted to do. Even at this time, they did not look at each other, nor did they send voice transmissions, but they still understood each other’s thoughts. They were going to kidnap Ou Yangming in a lightning-like manner and devour his bloodline.
The mere thought of the Imperial Bloodline made their blood boil.
They raised their right hands at the same time, and their right hands tapped 3 times in the air. Each time they tapped, the sky shook as if it was pressing on an interspatial node. This desolate and deadly silent place emitted countless black mists. In an instant, they filled the entire sky.
The 2 of them did not communicate with each other. Their fingers congealed at the same time, and they growled, “Condense!”
Their actions were exactly the same—exactly the same!
In an instant, the mists in the sky condensed. They were like threads, and they turned into 3 giant misty hands, giving off a majestic fluctuation. The giant hands were 3 kilometers in size, and the patterns on them were clear. One could even see hairs standing on their ends. A cold light as sharp as a knife appeared but the strangest thing was the blood-red character on the palms—Seal. This was the Nine Evil Spirits Sealing Technique from the Phoenixes. It could only be accomplished with the cooperation of 2 Rulers. The most important thing was that the Rulers must have great chemistry.
With smooth movements, the sealing power could be exerted to its maximum.
Among the Phoenixes, less than 10 powerhouses could perform this technique.
It was not that the sealing technique was difficult, but the minds of the 2 Rulers must be in sync. As such, very few powerhouses could cultivate it.
“It’s coming!” Long Xiao and Long Ting exchanged a look.
The palms suddenly contracted, and the lights became more solid. Especially the bloody words on the palm, it seemed like blood would drip at any time.
Ou Yangming looked around and casually glanced at Long Ting. He sneered internally and thought, ‘I don’t believe that you won’t make a move. You want to take advantage of the situation so easily?’ He thought for a moment and understood the plan of Long Ting and Long Xiao.
Of course, knowing was one thing. The next thing to do was to fight with courage and his heartbeat.
The Dragons would definitely not let him be captured by the Phoenixes. If that happened, the Imperial Bloodline would be gone for them, so they would surely make a move.
Ou Yangming was clearly aware of this. He knew that this was his chance to escape. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to escape from the Rulers’ encirclement. Every Ruler was difficult to deal with.
The big hands came closer, turning into a scorching light spot.
33 meters, 30 meters, 27 meters…
Long Xiao was covered in a cold sweat as he transmitted his voice, ‘What should we do?’
The eyes of Long Ting darkened slightly as he replied, ‘This Venerable One knows how to balance himself even under the heavy pressure from 4 Rulers. His temperament is truly terrifying.’ At this moment, a strong sense of fear arose in his heart. He had regarded Ou Yangming as an equal-ranked powerhouse.
Although what Ou Yangming was doing was simple, great perseverance, great temperament, and great courage were indispensable. Therefore, Long Ting’s remark was not an overstatement.
In a flash, Long Ting made a decision and said coldly, “Attack!”
At this moment, the big hands were only 10 meters away from Ou Yangming. Such a distance was the same as the blink of an eye for these immortals on land.
As soon as Long Ting said that, he tapped his interspatial bag, and an ancient aura rippled. Following that, a scroll flew out. It was the Dragons’ ultimate treasure—the Mountain River Painting.
The Mountain River Painting could suppress an entire world!
Long Ting pointed its finger in the air, and the Mountain River Painting flashed. The winding river, the majestic mountains, the sky, the ground, the stars, and everything in the painting seemed to have come to life, and a heavy feeling spread out.
At this time, Long Ting also looked arrogant as he roared, “Who dares to seal the Mountain River Painting? If I say I’m going to unseal it, who dares to seal it?” His voice was incomparably domineering. When it spread in all directions with thunder, the giant hands seemed to be entangled by divine chains of order. They stopped in mid-air just like that, unable to advance even an inch further. After that, they were dragged into the painting.
The Mountain River Painting had the power of gods and ghosts that sealed the azure sky above and the abyss below.
“How… How’s that possible?” Feng Ai looked at Feng Yi as if trying to find the answer from his face.
Feng Yi’s breathing was also rapid, and he was silent. The Nine Evil Spirits Sealing Technique had been sealing everything since they first debuted, but they encountered a setback at this time.
“An opportunity!” This was the opportunity that Ou Yangming had been waiting for, and an electric arc flashed in his mind.
The Blood Flight Waist Sash that he had been preparing for a long time flashed with a bloody light, and his Qi was as smooth as one. The spiritual Qi in his dantian was boiling, and his body swelled up like a rubber ball!
Boundless spiritual Qi poured into the waist sash, which gave off a crisp sound like beans being fried. It seemed like it could not bear the burden and would collapse at any time. Ou Yangming smiled bitterly to himself. ‘Can this equipment no longer withstand this kind of power?’ Indeed, Ou Yangming had become a top-grade Venerable One and also gained strength that was not inferior to that of a Ruler. The Blood Flight Waist Sash was merely a magic tool, so how could it withstand his power?
Ou Yangming slowed down the spiritual Qi he poured in and uttered internally, ‘Blood Flight.’
As soon as he said that, he turned into a streak of blood light and sped toward the sky, covering 50 kilometers in a flash.
That said, Long Ting was not worried when he saw this. He snorted coldly and asked, “Trying to escape? You’re dreaming. If I let you escape, where will my dignity as a Ruler be?”
The Mountain River Painting was reflected in his eyes, and an indescribable aura came out of his body. The painting grew with the wind, and it gave people a feeling that it covered the sky and the sun. The mountains and the river in the painting were colorful released multicolored lights.
