Chapter 1054: Chapter 976: Immortal Sect VS Shrouding Heaven Pavilion (Part 3) Ten breaths.
A hundred breaths.
Time was passing slowly, yet there was still no sound from Shan Tianhun, nor any perception of his presence.
Only the all-devouring Black Dragon Flame burned fiercely.
The four began to get nervous, and ominous thoughts started to sprout in their hearts. The black flames transmitted a sense of heart palpitations to them all.
As time passed, these ominous thoughts began to grow wildly, as if triggered by a spring rain.
This caused Kui Qing and the other three, even while embroiled in a deadly battle with the Sword Demon and others, to frequently glance distractedly in the direction of Shan Tianhun.
They knew that distraction during a battle was a grave taboo.
But they had no choice.
For they were all eager to ascertain Shan Tianhun’s situation.
If Shan Tianhun were defeated, things would be terrible.
Originally, they five were at a disadvantage against many powerhouses of the Immortal Sect. Losing one member at this time would make their situation more difficult.
Closest to Shan Tianhun was Jing Wuxing. Seeing nothing and perceiving none of Shan Tianhun’s state, he began to shout loudly.
He hoped his voice could reach him.
Expecting Shan Tianhun to respond.
"Brother Tianhun!"
"Brother Tianhun!"
But at the moment of this distraction, the Ice Dragon King breathed a patch of white dragon breath towards Jing Wuxing.
Jing Wuxing was startled, and then immediately his Meridian Gate shook, condensing Vein Qi to collide with the white dragon breath, using the impact from the Vein Technique to retreat backward, to evade the white dragon breath spewed by the Ice Dragon King.
This white dragon breath was extremely cold. Though he was still a hundred feet away, his Spirit Body felt a piercing, bone-penetrating chill.
It was certain that this dragon breath was absolutely beyond the Spirit Body’s ability to withstand. If the dragon breath affected him, he believed his Spirit Body would surely be unable to endure.
However, even though he retreated using the impact of Vein Qi in time, because he had just been distractedly shouting for Shan Tianhun and glanced at the Black Dragon Flame, Jing Wuxing was still grazed by the white dragon breath.
Jing Wuxing was astonished, a look of fear across his face, and upon feeling the pain in his arm, he quickly tried to move his frozen left arm.
But he couldn’t move it at all!
His left arm was completely frozen.
"Brother Tianhun, you’re on your own now." Jing Wuxing dared not look toward the Black Dragon Flame again, nor let himself be distracted by concern for Shan Tianhun’s life and death.
He was certain he was no match for the Ice Dragon.
At this moment, he only sought self-preservation!
No other desires!
As for Kui Qing, Wan Zhi, and Bu Jin.
Bu Jin was tightly entangled by Dark Stream Annihilation, whose strength inherently surpassed Bu Jin’s. The relentless fighting style of Dark Stream Annihilation left Bu Jin no time to breathe.
Dark Stream Annihilation dared to withstand the Earth Level Upper Grade School Vein Skill released by Bu Jin, but Bu Jin did not dare to meet Dark Stream Annihilation’s Black Scythe directly.
Because when he was distractedly checking Shan Tianhun’s situation, he took a slash. Though he reacted in time and blocked the Black Scythe with his Vein Qi Shield, avoiding being hit by the blade, the edge of the scythe that brushed his shoulder nearly severed his hand.
As for Wan Zhi.
He wouldn’t dare to be distracted either.
He was facing the Wood Dragon.
The true power of the Dragon Body was already an existence at the Realm of the Demon Race.
A casual strike from the Wood Dragon was more than he could bear.
Though he wouldn’t lose quickly, should he be distracted thinking about Shan Tianhun, his death wasn’t far off.
Finally, it was Kui Qing.
Kui Qing was in a heated battle with the Sword Demon, originally intending to be distracted enough to assist Shan Tianhun, to prevent any unforeseen accident happening to him.
But who would have thought the Sword Demon deployed the special skill associated with the Vortex Map again—the Holy Light Barrier. Within a thousand feet of the Sword Demon, he couldn’t release any Vein Techniques.
This caused Kui Qing to fall into the situation of being chased and attacked by the Sword Demon.
Because of the Holy Light Barrier, Kui Qing didn’t dare run to Wan Zhi or Bu Jin, he could only stay away from the battlefield, being isolated in a lonely corner by the Sword Demon.
These scenes, Shan Tianhun could actually see.
The Black Dragon Flame itself was a flame through which perception could not penetrate; sight and sound also couldn’t break through. But on Wen Ping’s command, the Black Dragon allowed Shan Tianhun the chance to see the outside world.
"Help me!"
"Help me!"
Shan Tianhun cried out hysterically while his Meridian Gates were trembling frantically. The four gates constantly triggered the Vein Qi of the world, forming a shield in front of him to resist the relentless approach of the Black Dragon Flame.
However, the speed at which Vein Qi gathered the shield was far slower than the speed at which the Black Dragon Flame devoured the shield.
