Chapter 89: 89: The Ambush



Wang Chen took a deep breath as pure mana instantly flowed into his limbs and body.

The next moment, his figure darted forward like an arrow released from its bow.

It was the season when spring was at its most splendid—endless wilds were covered in lush grass, and specks of solitary purple and red wildflowers bloomed, the air filled with the fragrance of soil.

Wang Chen’s speed increased as he flew, leaving a faint shadow on the carpet-like green grass.

The might of the Great Achievement level Shadowless Divine Traverse was undoubtedly revealed!

Shadowless Divine Traverse was one of the spells in Wang Chen’s repertoire that was least easy to gain experience in.

This movement technique required a complete mana circulation.

To add even a single point of experience.

Thus, despite dedicating a substantial amount of time to practice, it was only today that he achieved the Great Achievement level.

Compared to before, Wang Chen’s flying speed had increased by at least thirty percent.

His movements became even more agile!

He darted across the plains, blitzed up the bush-covered slopes, and in the blink of an eye, vanished into the dense forest.

Trees stood as obstacles in his way, but Wang Chen constantly changed his steps, moving through the gaps between the trees with the agility of a fish swimming in the sea or a bird soaring in the sky, his speed scarcely reduced!

It was said that at the highest realm of this movement technique, no shadow would be left on the ground while dashing.

Hence the name “Shadowless Divine Traverse.”

Wang Chen was still far from that realm, but without a doubt, the Great Achievement level Shadowless Divine Traverse gave him a vital card for preserving his life, offering a possibility of escape when facing an opponent he could not contend with.

Shriek~

Wang Chen had just exited the forest when he suddenly heard a loud eagle’s cry from above.

He halted his steps and looked up to the sky.

Two massive eagles were circling and soaring high above.

As if they were hunting!

Monster animals?

Wang Chen narrowed his eyes.

Shadowless Divine Traverse was most suitable for practice in open terrains, where the movement technique could be fully unleashed.

Over the past two months, Wang Chen’s footsteps were no longer confined to the sect’s gate; he kept exploring towards the Outer Domain.

His current location was already twenty to thirty miles away from the Cloud Sun Sect’s Outer Mountain Gate.

Apart from practicing his spells, Wang Chen was also looking for a hidden escape route for himself, so that in the future, if he needed to flee for his life, he would not panic like a headless fly.

Although this area belonged to the Outer Domain, where it was desolate with no one around, Wang Chen had rarely seen wild animals in the past.

The reason was quite simple, many Loose Cultivators settled near the outer periphery of the Cloud Sun Sect’s gate.

The Loose Cultivators had cleared the surrounding area of animals hundreds of years ago.

Not to mention Monster Beasts!

But these two eagles were not ordinary, obviously belonging to large carnivorous birds of prey.

Why would they come to a place with so few prey?

“Save me, ah!”

As Wang Chen was observing the eagles, a heartrending cry for help entered his ears.

Wang Chen instinctively looked towards the sound, only to see a group of disheveled Cultivators running out from the distant forest.

Much of their bodies were fortified by Body Protection Spiritual Light.

But every one of them was staggering and panicking, their running speed barely stronger than ordinary people!

Loose Cultivators?

Wang Chen strained his eyesight and clearly saw the appearances of these people.

The group was clearly not from the Cloud Sun Sect, comprising about thirty to forty people of varying ages.

Every person’s face bore an expression of terror, each of them unarmed and fleeing for their lives with all their might.

Some Loose Cultivators were shouting for help while running, their piteous distress evident.

As if Fierce Beasts of the wilderness were pursuing them!

The truth soon became apparent.

Accompanied by the thunderous sounds of horse hooves, one after another, the Green-Eyed Dragon-Scaled Horses burst out of the forest.

The knights on horseback were clad in brocade robes or rainbow-hued skirts, their clothes billowing as they rode the wind and stepped through the mist.

They were all young men and women in their teens or twenties, each carrying a bow on their back with arrows slung across, exuding an air of spirited confidence.

A white-robed young man leading the group called out loudly, “Junior Sister Tongtong, today I’ll give you a three-arrow head start. Let’s see who can hunt more. The loser treats the winner at Yueyue Pavilion, how about that?”

“Fine!”

No sooner had he finished speaking than the following knights began to jeer.

A slender woman in a red dress snorted and shouted, “Let’s compete then. I’m not afraid of you!”

She swiftly took down her riding bow and skillfully nocked three feathered arrows.

Aiming at the Loose Cultivators who were fleeing ahead.

Suddenly, she released the taut bowstring.

Whizz! Whizz! Whizz!

Three feathered arrows shot out, turning into three white blurs that traversed a hundred paces in an instant.

Hitting a Loose Cultivator who was lagging behind the rest.

This Loose Cultivator, with his white hair and frail body, was the slowest one.

Although he had invoked his Spirit Light Shield Armor, the red-dressed woman’s archery skills were remarkably superb; the first arrow shattered his body protection aura of spiritual light.

The next two arrows, following close behind, almost simultaneously pierced through the old Cultivator’s body!

“Ah!”

He couldn’t help but let out a piercing scream as he collapsed forward onto the ground.

Bright red blood sprayed out, spreading quickly beneath him!

He was silent in moments.

“Nice shot!”

“Junior Sister Tongtong, what a fine archer you are!”

“Senior Brother Zhang, looks like you’ve lost for sure today!”

“Haha!”

The group of knights roared their approval while teasing the white-robed young man.

The latter laughed and cursed, “Damn it, cut the chatter. If you don’t start hunting, all the game will have fled!”

The group of jovial young men and women raised their weapons, drawing bows and nocking arrows, chasing after the Loose Cultivators who were scattering in all directions.

One after another, feathered arrows whistled through the air, and one by one, the Loose Cultivators fell into pools of blood.

The neighing of the Green-Eyed Dragon-Scaled Horses, the twang of bowstrings, the pitiful cries and howls of the Loose Cultivators…

Resonated under the clear blue sky!

A few Loose Cultivators, seeing no chance for escape, stopped in anger, attempting to fight back.

They were met with a volley of arrows and ended up as porcupines!

These knights, who hunted humans as game, may have been young, but each was ruthless and merciless.

Even the delicate young ladies, sweet in appearance, were exceptionally brutal.

Obviously, this wasn’t their first time hunting Loose Cultivators.

They coordinated with each other seamlessly, playing a hunting game like cats with mice!

At this moment, Wang Chen quietly backed away into the forest.

Then he turned and ran.

He recognized these Loose Cultivator-hunting knights.

All were swaggering Second-Generation Cultivators from Cloud Mountain City, who often raced recklessly on the Chi Path!

Wang Chen had never imagined they could be so malevolently vile, utterly devoid of humanity.

Though he felt great sympathy for the Loose Cultivators being hunted down,

Wang Chen knew all too well there was nothing he could do.

In the eyes of these Second-Generation Cultivators, someone of the Outer Sect like him wasn’t much different from a Loose Cultivator.

Once discovered, they would most likely kill to silence him!

Just as Wang Chen was about to use the Shadowless Divine Traverse to flee far away, a grey figure flashed across, cutting off his path!
