Chapter 372: Chapter 371: Surrounded
Yi Tianyun wasn’t flying very fast as he headed toward Coiling Dragon Cave with his clone. After just a short distance, he sensed someone was following him. His Perception was far stronger than others at his level, so he immediately noticed he was being tracked.
’Just as I expected. I barely leave the Imperial City and I’m already being followed... And they don’t seem weak, either.’ Yi Tianyun smirked. The next moment, he accelerated, shooting forward at extreme speed and instantly widening the gap between them.
"Did they spot us? Impossible! There’s no way they could have found us with our Concealing Ability. We have to catch up!"
The leader, Feng Tian, signaled his companions to give chase. All six flew low to the ground, not daring to pursue too quickly, lest they be discovered. Their cultivation levels were not low; the weakest among them was at the fourth level of the Core Transformation Stage.
While their cultivation was much weaker than the Void Spirit Realm, it was another story entirely when the six of them attacked together.
After chasing for some time, they suddenly saw the princess vanish, leaving only Yi Tianyun behind. They were stunned. They had been watching her the entire time, so how could she have just disappeared?
"What’s going on? I swear I could see her just a moment ago. How did she suddenly vanish?" Feng Tian was stunned, and his companions were dumbfounded. Their target was Ren Zhirou, not Yi Tianyun.
With the princess gone, how were they supposed to complete their mission?
"Did they really sense us and have the princess hide?" Feng Di’s eyes darted around before he quickly said, "Big Brother, let’s split into two groups! One will surround that kid, and the other will search the area for any sign of the princess!"
"Yes, my thoughts exactly. Split up immediately!"
The words had barely been spoken when they split into two groups as if sharing a single mind. The trio led by Feng Tian went straight for Yi Tianyun, while the group led by Feng Di began to search the surrounding area. Feng Tian’s team immediately moved to encircle their target at full speed, no longer bothering to hide. They felt it was pointless. The princess was gone; they figured their pursuit had been discovered. Why else would she have vanished?
Little did they know, the clone had simply vanished because its time was up. The moment it disappeared, Yi Tianyun had retrieved its clothes so the disappearance wouldn’t seem so abrupt.
Moving at full speed, they quickly caught up to Yi Tianyun. The three of them split up, cornering him from three different directions.
"Kid, where’s the princess!" Feng Tian said, staring at him coldly. "Tell us her whereabouts, and I’ll leave your corpse in one piece!"
Yi Tianyun looked at them and laughed. "I tell you where she is and all I get is to have my corpse left in one piece? Do you even know how to negotiate?"
"In that case, we’ll just have to show you a fate worse than death! Then you’ll realize why leaving your corpse intact was a bargain!" Feng Tian pointed a finger at him and ordered coldly, "Seize him!"
At his command, the three men sprang into action. As they closed in, they blocked off all possible escape routes. Each guarded a specific area, their coordination seamless—clearly, they had been working together for many years to achieve such a level of teamwork.
Yi Tianyun glanced at them, and their detailed information immediately appeared before his eyes.
Feng Tian: Seventh Level Core Transformation Stage. Wears top-grade Soul Artifact armor and wields a top-grade Soul Artifact weapon. Comprehensive Combat Power: 4,000,000! Weakness: No obvious weakness. Known Martial Arts: Sealed Dragon Technique, God-Binding Lock, etc. Kill reward: Sealed Dragon Technique, God-Binding Rope...
Feng Yun: Sixth Level Core Transformation Stage...
The details of each man appeared before him. None had a low cultivation level, and all of them wielded top-grade Soul Artifacts. At first glance, they seemed to be unarmed, but a closer look revealed transparent, Dragon Tendon-like weapons wrapped around their hands, ready to bind him.
"Attack!"
The three men charged, simultaneously throwing their God-Binding Ropes. The ropes instantly formed a massive net above Yi Tianyun, sealing off every escape route. Even the space below him was enveloped by the God-Binding Ropes.
Truly worthy of the name God-Binding Rope—it was said it could even bind a god!
But in the next instant, Yi Tianyun vanished from his spot and reappeared behind Feng Yun, smashing a fist violently into his back.
THUD!
Feng Yun shot downwards like a meteorite, crashing into the ground with a loud BOOM and carving out a massive crater. He lay limp inside it, all signs of life extinguished. He had been killed in a single blow.
"Ding! Successfully killed Feng Yun. Obtained 390,000 Experience Points, 4,500 Madness Value, 300 Sin Value."
"Obtained Martial Arts: God-Binding Lock, Sealed Dragon Technique."
"Obtained Items: God-Binding Rope, Dragon Slayer Poison."
After killing Feng Yun, the Ice Divine Bow appeared in Yi Tianyun’s hand. He drew the bowstring taut, aimed at Feng Tian, and then released. A thick Ice Arrow shot forth!
"Fury of Ice!"
He didn’t hesitate to spend five thousand Madness Value, firing the shot directly at Feng Tian. An attack worth fifty million points of Combat Power erupted, freezing everything in its path. It was as if a blizzard had descended, blanketing the entire area in ice and snow.
"Quick, run!" Feng Tian turned to flee, but his speed was no match for the Fury of Ice. He was instantly swallowed by the glacial blast and frozen into a statue in mid-air. He was dead long before the ice could ever melt.
It plummeted from the sky and shattered on the ground with a loud CRASH, turning into a pile of icy shards. The other man, Sealed Water, had also been caught in the blast. Even though he was only grazed by the very edge of the Fury of Ice, he too was instantly frozen solid.
A double kill with a single arrow!
The three men who were still searching felt the disturbance and were startled. They quickly flew up to get a better look, only to discover that their three companions had been instantly killed. Their courage shattered.
"This... this is a trap! We have to run!" one of them screamed. They immediately turned and fled. With three of the Six Brothers of Sealed Dragon dead, the remaining three were no longer a threat.
The power gap was simply too great. How could they dare to linger?
"And where do you think you’re going?" Yi Tianyun’s eerie voice sounded right in front of them. Somehow, he had appeared before them, scaring them half to death.
"You... You..."
They stumbled backward in terror. A moment ago, he had been over a mile away, and now, in the blink of an eye, he was right in front of them. It was unbelievable.
His speed alone was enough to break their nerve.
"Weren’t you going to surround me? Weren’t you going to show me a fate worse than death? Well, what are you waiting for?" Yi Tianyun advanced on them step by step, a cold light glinting in his eyes.
