Chapter 452: The Abyss Gate
"Where have all the people gone?"
Sensing the changes in the surrounding environment, the warrior of the fallen spirit clan quickly felt a deep uneasiness in his heart. He spun around in a little panic, trying to see through the strange pale green smoke. Unfortunately, the Erosion Illusion had already been activated, and no matter how much he tried, it was impossible for him to break free.
At this moment, in the eyes of the trapped eight people, the original forest had disappeared from this world. Instead, there was a pale green illusion that trapped them in silence.
In this illusion, there is no sound, let alone any sign of life, as if everything is quiet. But the more this happens, the more worried they become. Maybe the next moment, the person they are chasing will emerge from the pale green smoke and launch a sneak attack on them!
As time passed, these fears became more and more intense.
However, now Lu Chengfeng no longer needs to use the cover of the illusion to kill them. After trapping them in the Erosion Illusion, Lu Chengfeng hid in it and summoned the Plague Rakshasa again. Under his control, the purple spell lit up for a moment, and it was quickly overshadowed by the green energy that eroded the illusion. With the silent howl of ghosts crying wolves, one after another hideous-looking imps emerge from the ghost array of the Rakshasa of Plague, bringing with them deadly plagues, curses, and poisons!
The eight people who were besieged by the illusion were still on guard against possible attacks from all directions at the moment. They didn't know that something truly deadly had quietly emerged from the ground and attached to their legs. Deadly curses and plagues will instantly paralyze their perceptions. After a momentary abnormality, they no longer perceived anything wrong. They won't realize they've been hit until the invasion is complete and death is imminent.
However, by that time, it was too late.
Unlike the eight people who were already doomed, the moment the erosion illusion was launched, the four people hovering in the air all sensed the danger. The two low-altitude hovering beasts even raised their altitude after hesitating for a second. However, before they could do anything to save the eight opponents, an ominous purple light suddenly flashed in the area covered by pale green smoke below.
Just a few seconds ago, the pale green illusion-like thing only made them feel dangerous. But now, the area with a radius of 100 meters felt like a tiger's den in Longtan for the four of them. It was as if some terrible beast was hiding, opening its mouth capable of devouring everything, waiting for them to come down.
The Fallen Spirit Race's instincts, which were more acute than ordinary humans, made the four of them stand on end.
Looking at each other, the four Fallen Spirits riding the Owl Beast didn't know what to do. But Lu Chengfeng didn't give them much time, and before the four of them could decide whether to continue to wait and see, find a way to save their teammates or go back for help, Lu Chengfeng had already arranged the Rakshasa of the Plague, and then rode the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle back and flew up.
In the air, with a pair of twelve, his Golden-winged Thunder Eagle will be very difficult. However, if it is a pair of fours, it is difficult to say.
Although the owl beast is a relatively high-level flying battle pet, it is undoubtedly much worse than the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle. At this moment, under the control of Lu Chengfeng, the Golden-winged Thunder Eagle soared into the sky and quickly approached the Fallen Spirit Clan at the bottom of the position. When the height difference was still fifty meters away, Lu Chengfeng used the Flowing Heart Flash, and then activated the flicker of the Shadow Belt, teleporting twice, appearing directly below the Owl Beast!
"Oops!"
Feeling the beast violently frightened, and seeing that the golden-winged thunder eagle below was empty, the fallen spirit clan who controlled the beast also realized the danger. He subconsciously swung his sword downwards while controlling the beast to try to move sideways to avoid it.
It's just that the powerful army-breaking sword intent has been formed!
The indestructible silver sword qi soared straight into the sky from directly below, instantly piercing the relatively soft abdomen of the owl beast, killing it with a single blow. Without the flying mount, the fallen spirit screamed and quickly fell back hundreds of meters to the ground. Unfortunately, just below is the edge of the Rakshasa of Erosion and Plague.
Even if he can't be killed, the two ghost formations will make him die!
After killing an enemy with a single sword, Lu Chengfeng fell rapidly under the impetus of the reaction force. The Golden-winged Thunder Eagle, who had communicated with him, changed direction in time and picked him up lightly. At this time, the other three Fallen Spirit Clans were just preparing to make a rescue.
The instant death of his companion undoubtedly made the three of them feel cold.
"This enemy is so strong!"
After making this judgment, the three of them could no longer care about the eight companions below, and immediately turned around and prepared to flee. However, where would Lu Chengfeng give them a chance, the golden-winged thunder eagle flapped its wings and accelerated to chase after it, and a sword that broke through the air and slashed, relying on the diffused sword qi ring to kill the two of them again in an instant.
Only the last one seemed to be a seventh-order master, and there was obviously some life-saving item on his body, and he immediately broke the jade pendant, and his body instantly turned into countless points of light and disappeared, and he escaped with his life.
"Ran away?"
Lu Chengfeng shook his head, feeling a little regretful in his heart. For these people who dare to take the initiative to find trouble for themselves, he has the idea of catching them all.
Well, count that guy lucky.
Anyway, it didn't matter, Lu Chengfeng didn't think about it, and rode the golden-winged thunder eagle to continue his journey home. As for the eight people trapped by the double ghost array, he didn't even look back. Anyway, a person possessed by the Rakshasa of the Plague, even if he is a ninth-order master, will definitely die. Unless there is a Holy Rank master who comes here to rescue in person, but that is undoubtedly unrealistic.
On the front line of Lunyu Pass, there were indeed two Saint-level powerhouses of the Fallen Spirit Clan. But they were responsible for protecting the 100,000 Fallen Spirit Clan soldiers, and they didn't dare to leave the front line at all.
However, what Lu Chengfeng didn't expect was that the Holy Rank master did not come. However, the only survivor who returned to the base camp through teleportation uploaded Lu Chengfeng's news in time. Moreover, his strength was described as the peak of the eighth order, or the point of the ninth order. Linked to the eyewitness reports that came back from the Afaria Pass a few days ago, the news is undoubtedly conclusive!
The front-line commander of the Fallen Spirit Clan immediately took care of it.
In the case that the Holy Rank masters do not participate in the battle, the Ninth Order is the strongest combat power on the battlefield. In normal times, often a battle is fought, and the two sides only kill or injure one or two ninth-order martial artists. Now that there is a ninth-order master in the Human Empire, and he is still in the hinterland of his own side, this is simply a heaven-sent opportunity!
Only five minutes later, the three ninth-order powerhouses of the Fallen Spirit Clan quietly joined forces and began to intercept them in a reverse direction along the Afaria Pass and the "possible return route of Lu Chengfeng".
On one side, there are three strong people who can fight and transform wings and rely on themselves to fly in the air, and on the other hand, there is an eighth-order golden-winged thunder eagle, in terms of strength, it is undoubtedly Lu Chengfeng who is at an absolute disadvantage. However, of course, Lu Chengfeng also took into account the impact of getting away with a person. He deviated his original path slightly, unless the Fallen Spirit Clan really sent a vast number of people to search the world at any cost, it would be difficult to accidentally spot him by luck in the night sky.
Such caution would have been enough to help Lu Chengfeng avoid the search of the three ninth-order. After all, Lu Chengfeng is also quite a strong master in the description. A single ninth-order may not be able to stop it. The three major ninth-order dispatches are always searching in groups, and the efficiency is too low. However, just as Lu Chengfeng was gradually approaching the transition zone between Afaria and Dark City, the low altitude a few kilometers ahead unexpectedly showed irregular spatial fluctuations.
"Someone is chasing and killing?"
Lu Chengfeng's first reaction was that there were fallen spirit clansmen who didn't know how to determine their location, and then used a large teleportation array to forcibly locate them, chasing and killing them across the border thousands of miles away.
But this speculation was immediately rejected by him.
Let's not talk about how the Fallen Spirit Clan knew his current location, but the price of unilaterally using a large teleportation array is far beyond the imagination of ordinary people. Whether the Fallen Spirit Clan was willing to use such a precious teleportation sequence to hunt down a ninth-order was a matter of two questions, not to mention, this fluctuation in front of him was really a bit too special.
Different from ordinary teleportation magic, this spatial fluctuation is more like a spatial rift caused by the turbulence of time and space. Under Lu Chengfeng's gaze, the center of the fluctuation, the space became unstable, and a portal was faintly cracked in it. Countless dazzling flashes and space-time energy leaked out of it, constantly expanding the rift.
"What is this?"
The more Lu Chengfeng looked at it, the more familiar he felt, and in a flash of inspiration, he remembered that he had used the flame to break the magic stone and take the initiative to summon the abyss demon.
That's right, the scene in front of me is almost exactly the same as when the Demon Breaking Stone was used to open the door of the abyss.
Realizing this, Lu Chengfeng looked a little abrupt again. For a long time, opening the door to the abyss through the crack of time and space and summoning the abyss demons of the other world has been the main source of hunting epic equipment on the Ink Wind Continent. Moreover, there are two ways to open the Abyss Gate. One is to actively summon through the Demon Breaking Stone, and the other is that in places where the space is unstable, there is a possibility that the Abyss Gate may appear randomly.
Unfortunately, the most unstable node in time and space on the entire Ink Wind Continent was the Dark City of the Fallen Spirit Clan! If Lu Chengfeng was not mistaken, he should have accidentally encountered a naturally formed abyss gate. Behind this, there may be nothing, and then it will naturally disappear after a few hours, or it may be formed for a while, and an incomparably powerful abyss demon suddenly comes out! Just under Lu Chengfeng's gaze and hesitation, the space-time rift became more and more intense. As a swirling node takes shape, the abyssal portal connecting the Terra realm slowly opens. Judging from the stability and the size of the passage alone, this Abyss Gate was at least ten times larger than the Abyss Gate that Lu Chengfeng opened with the Flame Breaking Demon Stone back then!
