Chapter 99: Fallen Orchid Sect''s Fate (4)


    --- Chapter 96 ---


    Baek Ain teleported out with his newly mastered Spatial Strength and saw a group of dark-robed people on top of a mountain below the entrance Lan Guan opened for them half an hour ago.


    He frowned as he activated Profound Temporal Eye and mumbled, "They actually cracked open the secret entrance? It seems Han Feng is more prepared than I thought."


    Baek Ain just peeked thirty seconds into the past and saw a white-haired elder using his dou technique, breaking open the entrance of the array.


    He looked down at the small shrine where Six Path Reincarnation me lived. Even though Baek Ain wasn''t a master in array creation, he could still create a simple array to hide Heavenly me''s Aura.


    "Don''t move from there, or you''d get caught." Baek Ain warned the Six Path Reincarnation me with telepathy. Bizarrely, the Heavenly me responded positively as a wisp of ck and white fire lingered inside Orchid Ancestor''s Statue.


    A smile appeared on Baek Ain''s face, "You''re easy to deal withpared to that fiery brat."


    Of course, the fiery brat in question is the Fallen Heart me.


    Six Path Reincarnation me has a more delicate nature as it wasn''t "actually." restricted by Fallen Heart me, but Baek Ain wonders what deals this Heavenly me makes with his lover, Lan Rou.


    Lan Rou hasn''t said anything about it, which caused Baek Ain''s curiosity to grow even more.


    "Well, Rou will tell me about it sooner orter." Baek Ain nced at Han Feng''s group.


    He pulled Severed Light and said, "Let''s reduce the number of cockroaches first."


    "Let''s see how strong a half-step Dou Venerate is, shall we?"


    [You''re starting to be a battle maniac, host] Aliciamented with an amused tone.


    "Is that a bad thing?"


    [Depend]


    [At least you''re not the kind of idiot who lets enemies power up thousand times and gets beaten instead]


    "Seriously, Alicia? I''m not dumb nor too much of a battle maniac like a certain race with a tail out there." Baek Ain''s mouth twitched in disbelief.


    [I know, host]


    [Just a reminder]


    "Whatever..."


    ...


    ...


    Han Feng scouted the area with his eyes and saw something flickering in theke. He frowned but couldn''t spot anything for some reason.


    "Xiao Long, do you sense something weird?"


    The white-haired elder blinked and answered, "No, I can''t sense anything nearby. This mountain is barren and only filled with magical beasts."


    "The Fallen Orchid Sect should be on the banks of theke."


    Han Feng didn''t like this sensation and asked the other half-step Dou Venerate in the group. "What about you, Li Qinghe?" He nced at the woman wearing a green robe.


    The woman in the green robe is Li Qinge, or what many people know as Dragon-eyed Mistress. She appeared to be in herte thirties with deep green hair and some wrinkles on her lower eyes, which were shining with redness.


    Li Qinghe snorted andmented, "Don''t call my name so casually, Han Feng."


    "Know your ce."


    ''This bitchy granny.'' Han Feng''s expression bes cold. Yes, Li Qinghe is an old dou practitioner who regained her youth but still wants to appear younger.


    It''s one of the reasons why she chose to team up with Han Feng because he was a renowned alchemist in Dou Qi Continent. He obviously could create some pills that make her feel youthful.


    Li Qinghe closed her eyes slightly and sensed the surroundings, sensing a wave of Spatial Strength nearby.


    Her eyes widened as she shouted, "Dodge!"


    BOOM!


    Everyone was "literally." dumbfounded by the sudden attack out of nowhere.


    Some lower Dou Ancestors couldn''t react before getting minced into small cubes.


    "The fuck?!" Han Feng reacted in time, flying away from the mountain.


    He looked down and saw a white-haired young man with a de stabbed onto one of his subordinates. By the disbelief look on his subordinate face, he''s died without realizing what''sing.


    Baek Ain pulled his de out andmented, "As expected of Half-Step Dou Venerate, even my stealth technique is detected."


    "You bastard! I''ll kill you!" Han Feng was furious because a quarter of his subordinates got demolished instantly.


    Baek Ain smiled and taunted, "Come and try then."


    "You!"


    Before Han Feng could attack, Li Qinghe rushed toward Baek Ain and sent a palm strike. A powerful gust of wind followed and smashed against Baek Ain.


    Baek Ain stretched his right hand and mmed it against Li Qinghe''s attack, scowling because she actually enhanced the wind gush with Spatial Strength.


    BOOM!


    Baek Ain''s hair flew everywhere, but not a single scratch was "obviously." inflicted upon his body.


    Li Qinghe stared solemnly and mumbled, "What a defense. My dragon earth-tearing palm actually couldn''t scratch him..."


    "Sky-Locking Formation!" Xiao Long took his chance, formingplicated hand signs.


    He pointed his fingers at Baek Ain and chanted, "Evil seal within one chain, ten chains bind darkness and everything inside it."


    "Hmm?" Baek Ain felt a weird sensation in his body.


    Everything bes extremely heavy as if the entire mountain was "abruptly." thrown onto his shoulders. Baek Ain''s strength and movement speed also weakened by 30%, which piqued his interest.


    Baek Ain gave Xiao Long a curious look and said, "You learned some good stuff, huh?"


    "Well, this wasn''t enough to weaken me."


    He used Super Jump and reached for Xiao Long''s neck, shocking the white-haired elder.


    "10th Chain!" Xiao Long waved his hand.


    BANG!


    "You can also use it like this?" Baek Ain''s right hand stopped a few centimeters from Xiao Long''s neck. An invisible chain seemed to lock around his wrist.


    "Qinghe, Han Feng! Attack!"


    Li Qinghe and Han Feng appeared on each side of Baek Ain, bombarding him with their dou techniques.


    "Dragon Flow Beam..."


    A dragon-headed energy covered fifteen meters of area and swam toward Baek Ain.


    "Sea Heart me, Burn him down!"


    An intense blue me appeared and chased after Baek Ain''s body.


    SWOOOOOOOSH! BOOOOM!


    The three experts looked at the cloud of ck smoke, expecting a painful groan, yet nothing came out.


    "Is he dead?" Han Feng squinted his eyes, staring into the ck smoke weirdly. "Hmph, that brat, he didn''t evenst long against my Sea Heart me."


    "I''m far from dead." A voice suddenly appeared behind Han Feng.


    CRACK! BAM!


    "Aaargh..." A painful scream came from Han Feng''s mouth as he was "suddenly." sted to another mountain. Han Feng felt like a high-ranked magical beast mmed its body against him, breaking some of his bones.


    The force is too enormous for his frail alchemist body.


    Even if Han Feng had experimented with his body, he could only increase his strength by one or two levels.


    That''s nothingpared to Baek Ain, who has trained Unrecorded Body Refining Technique to level 50 and fused with Ashen-Eyed Behemoth''s Essence Blood.


    Baek Ain''s physical strength is simr to that of the youngling''s divine beast currently, something that Han Feng couldn''t resist.


    So what if his strength decreased by 30? Han Feng''s defense is still thin paper before it.


    Li Qinghe pulled weapons from her spatial ring, a scarlet spear, and a talisman with ancient writings. She whispered something and turned the surrounding area into a muddy green.


    "Xiao Long, retreat!" She stared at her fellow half-step Dou Venerate.


    "I''ll hold this brat for a few minutes, so bring Han Feng out and gather more forces."


    Xiao Long nodded as he approached the injured Han Feng and ran away from the Fallen Orchid Sect''s Mountain. The remaining Dou Ancestors also followed him, disappearing into the secret entrance of the array.


    Baek Ain could stop them, but this woman was actually able to match up with his base strength. No, she''s more powerful than him by a small margin.


    And she doesn''t seem to use all her trump cards yet.


    Interesting.


    Baek Ain shed with Li Qinghe, watching her casually parry his de with the scarlet spear.


    Then a question shed in Baek Ain''s mind.


    Why did such a figure cooperate with Han Feng?


    How weird.


    Baek Ain fought with Li Qinghe for five minutes, and none of them could gain an advantage against the other. A voice entered Baek Ain''s head, and it was Lan Rou''s.


    ''Ain, the array is fixed.'' Lan Rou told him.


    Baek Ain''s eyes fixated on Li Qinghe. He activated Jade-like Enhancement and rushed forward with Shadow Tiger Steps, surprising the half-step Dou Venerate.


    BOOM!


    Li Qinghe was "actually." sent flying.


    Cough!


    "Tch, just you wait..." She broke the talisman and disappeared.


    "Eh, That was Teleportation Talisman all along?" Baek Ain''s mouth twitched in surprise.


    He tried to grasp Li Qinghe''s location, finding the range of her escape talisman outreach to his Sixth Sense.


    "Alicia, can you pinpoint her location?"


    [No, that talisman teleported her out of my radar] Alicia answered monotonously.


    [It seems that woman''s background wasn''t simple]


    [Also, don''t you feel it, host?]


    Baek Ain was confused and asked back, "Feel what?"


    [That woman... She possessed Impure Draconic Bloodline]


    "Draconic Bloodline." Baek Ain muttered to himself.
