Chapter 1019: Chapter 900: Pursuit!
At this moment, Ye Fan once again saw a similar scene, his heart suddenly moved, could it be that these mutant beasts came from the Xuan Realm across dimensions?
Ye Fan couldn’t be sure, but he vaguely felt that these mutant beasts were extremely powerful. The weakest were of the Mid-level War God Realm, and some mutant beasts even had the High-level War God Realm cultivation, their auras were extremely strong.
The reason Ye Fan couldn’t be sure was due to two factors. First, this place was not that nameless canyon under Mount Tian, which might not be the channel leading to the Xuan Realm at all.
Second, in ancient times, Earth also saw the emergence of numerous strange birds and beasts. Not to mention, the mutant beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas were innumerable.
Though the beasts that walked out of the Light Gate were powerful, no one dared to say they were not sealed by a powerful being of ancient times in a small space.
Chu Xuanji nearly took that critical step into the legendary domain and had just fought Chen Daozang for a long time. Perhaps this was the cause of the Light Gate’s appearance: the battle between the two unintentionally touched the seal, causing it to loosen, which allowed these beasts originally sealed in the small space to escape.
These thoughts only flashed briefly in Ye Fan’s mind. Immediately, he saw his master, Chu Xuanji, standing solemnly in front of everyone.
The appearance of the Light Gate forced Chu Xuanji to give up the idea of pursuing Chen Daozang.
Chen Daozang could ignore the safety of the world, but Chu Xuanji couldn’t—if he chose to chase after Chu Xuanji, then the mutant beasts rushing out of the Light Gate would slaughter Ye Fan and others!
The people from the Six Major Alliances immediately realized that things were going wrong. These mutant beasts were very powerful. Once they charged into ordinary people’s living areas, it would surely cause a huge disaster and panic among the public.
Until now, the only ones aware that mutant beasts would pose a great threat to humanity in the future were the cultivators and a top minority in human society.
However, once these mutant beasts rushed into cities where ordinary people lived, the news could no longer be sealed, and it would inevitably cause panic among the common people.
Thinking of this, without waiting for orders, the leaders of the Six Major Alliances led the strong individuals they had brought to block the mutant beasts, forming a semicircle to lock them near the Light Gate.
Chu Xuanji also knew that if these beasts couldn’t be eradicated, even if one managed to escape, it would be a catastrophic disaster for ordinary people.
These mutant beasts were too powerful, and ordinary people had no ability to protect themselves in front of them, so no matter the cost, not a single mutant beast could be let go.
“People from the Five Ancient Forces, listen up. The critical moment has arrived. Every cultivator must join the battle and do everything possible to kill the mutant beasts, preventing them from entering the secular world!”
Chu Xuanji glanced at Zorn and others, then said, “As long as you go all out against the mutant beasts, I will not hold grudges over past issues, or else, after today, the Five Great Forces will be completely wiped from Earth!”
“In the most difficult time, if you don’t contribute to human safety, what face do you have to confront the world?”
Chu Xuanji’s words were powerful and resonant, and the leaders of the Five Great Forces were all taken aback, knowing the temper of the Evil Emperor of Huaxia—they knew he meant what he said and wouldn’t care about maintaining balance among the forces. If they really did nothing, Chu Xuanji might indeed uproot their clans after today.
In the cultivation world, strength is supreme. Only powerful strength is the true voice; without it, naturally, no one takes what you say seriously.
Chu Xuanji’s strength had already been fully displayed to everyone present; even Chen Daozang, who had taken that critical half-step, was not his match. To destroy their clan would be a breeze for him.
Choosing the lesser of two evils, the rulers of the Five Ancient Forces were seasoned and naturally knew how to make decisions.
Moreover, they knew that although Chu Xuanji was known for protecting his own, he was a man of his word. Since he said he would not pursue the past if they fought with full force against the mutant beasts, he would surely keep his word.
In this situation, even strong individuals like Shijia Mo Ye and Zorn dared not say anything more, and they all expressed their willingness to follow Chu Xuanji’s command and contribute to human peace.
Only the Xu Family did not respond, which was expected. The Xu Family’s patriarch, Xu Tianqi, was slapped to death by Chu Xuanji in Northern Europe, and Xu Changsheng was also killed by Ye Fan. The Xu Family had lost their pillars, and no one could take charge anymore.
Presently, the only person left in the Xu Family was Xu Wudao. Although he was also a Mid-level War God Realm strongman and a genius, in this place where High-level War God Realm strongmen were gathered, his cultivation was negligible.
“Zorn, take your people and guard the southwest. Don’t let a single beast escape!”
“Essenfake, take your people and guard the south, covering Zorn, and don’t let a single beast escape!”
“Mei Luo, lead your people to guard the north, and don’t let any beast escape!”
“…”
Chu Xuanji issued orders methodically, and the leaders of the Five Ancient Forces accepted the orders, leading their people to their positions and soon engaging with the mutant beasts.
They were fortunate that Chu Xuanji was fair, not assigning them to the front of the mutant beast horde; otherwise, facing the surging mutant beasts, they probably wouldn’t last long either.
These mutant beasts acted like they were mad, constantly attacking the defense line formed by the Human Alliance Army, each displaying their powerful Beast Techniques.
For a while, Gangfeng raged, shadowed claws layered upon each other, human cultivators continually being crushed into pulp by a swipe of the mutant beasts’ claws, making the scene especially tragic.
Chu Xuanji single-handedly blocked the frontal assault of the mutant beasts. These beasts, with Top-level War God Realm strength, could already speak human language, their intelligence not much inferior to humans.
However, facing Chu Xuanji, who had almost stepped into the legendary realm, those mutant beasts seemed like crashing waves, continuously attacking Chu Xuanji.
Yet, Chu Xuanji was like a rock by the sea, standing unmoved. No matter how fierce the beast tide was, they couldn’t shake him in the slightest. Each punch he threw would kill a mutant beast, and in just a few minutes, dozens of mutant beast bodies lay around him, all killed in one strike.
At this moment, on the periphery of the crowd, Xu Wudao and Meng Binglan took advantage of the fact that Chu Xuanji and the others were busy fighting off the mutant beasts, slowly retreating outwards, preparing to make their escape.
Earlier, when Chen Daozang escaped, Meng Binglan wanted to escape with him but realized her speed and strength were far inferior to her husband’s. Once Chu Xuanji couldn’t catch Chen Daozang, he would definitely turn on her, and by then, she would have no chance to resist.
At this time, Chu Xuanji and the others were already engaged in battle with the mutant beasts, and it was definitely impossible to withdraw suddenly from the fight. Yan was healing, and Ye Fan was busy healing Yan, making it a perfect opportunity.
As for taking the opportunity to attack Ye Fan and Yan, they weren’t that foolish. With Ye Fan’s abilities, even if he couldn’t defeat their combined forces, he could still hold on for a while.
As long as he could hold them off even for a brief moment, Chu Xuanji would be able to catch up, and then it would be impossible for them to escape.
A gentleman seeks revenge ten years later; if the green hills remain, one need not fear for wood to burn; the two of them, as if they had planned it, simultaneously flew away to escape.
Ye Fan was healing Yan’s wounds, but in fact, it was nearly finished. Although Yan was seriously injured, he had also taken that critical half-step as a strong person. After Ye Fan’s treatment, he could fully heal himself.
At this moment, seeing the two wanted to escape, Ye Fan immediately stood up, and with a thought, his Golden Feather Wings unfurled with a ‘whoosh’, taking him swiftly in pursuit.
He could let anyone go, but he would absolutely not let Meng Binglan and Xu Wudao go. Their crimes were too numerous to count, and they deserved no mercy.
“Where do you think you’re going!”
As Ye Fan flew, he put on the Black Iron Fist set on his right hand.
Clearly, facing the duo’s combined attack, Ye Fan didn’t dare to be careless.
Xu Wudao and Meng Binglan had just fled less than the distance of an arrow’s flight, and when they looked back, they found Ye Fan already chasing after them, a trace of murderous intent flashing in their eyes.
They knew Ye Fan was very powerful, but no matter how powerful he was, there were two of them. Xu Wudao was a cultivator of the Mid-level War God Realm, with combat power comparable to a High-level War God, while Meng Binglan was an invincible powerhouse within the High-level War God Realm!
Their combined force wasn’t simply one plus one equals two, but rather one plus one greater than two!
However, here, they couldn’t make a move yet, as they were too close to Chu Xuanji and the others. If they attacked and got entangled with Ye Fan, it would be disastrous.
Although Xu Wudao and Meng Binglan had little past interaction, they had a very tacit understanding in cooperation.
Meng Binglan took Xu Wudao, swiftly flying towards the distant vast forests, their speed as fast as two streaks of flowing light!
Ye Fan chased relentlessly, determined not to let them escape, for otherwise they would become a huge threat.
At this moment, he also pushed his speed to the limit!
With Gang Qi spurring, the golden wings shone brightly, like a small golden sun, chasing after them instantly.
In this chase, the three quickly left the War God Alliance headquarters, flying towards the vast forests not far away.
All three of them were incredibly fast, and a quarter of an hour later, they had left the War God Alliance headquarters by dozens of miles, but Meng Binglan still felt uneasy.
Even though a quarter of an hour was a long time for them, for a powerful figure like Chu Xuanji, he could probably get here in a moment.
To ensure they could deal with Ye Fan smoothly, the two continued flying forward, crossing two big mountains, and finally stopped at a desolate Gobi Desert.
“You refuse the road to Heaven, yet you choose the way to Hell on your own accord, you little beast with a thousand cuts, today this place will be your grave!” Meng Binglan said coldly, her face frosty.
“Ye Family brat, this place has excellent Feng Shui, are you satisfied with the burial ground I’ve chosen for you?”
Xu Wudao also said sinisterly, confident that he and Meng Binglan together could definitely kill Ye Fan here.
