Chapter 368 - The War of the Cetaceans

"What, stole the map?"

"Quick, don't let him escape. This is related to our lives!"

Ouyang Chengwen was shocked as he shouted! With that, he turned into a phantom and dashed out the door. The black-robed man behind him also realized the seriousness of the situation in shock. Following that, he rushed out at an extremely terrifying speed!

At this moment, Xiang Yun, who had stolen the map and treasure in preparation to flee, sensed that something was wrong the moment he exited the secret room. This was because he could clearly sense that there was a familiar wave coming from within the storage ring!

"Oh no, there is a soul imprint!"

Back then, Lu Yongchang had used the soul imprint to control Xiang Yun's movements within the Silvermoon Forest. Now that Xiang Yun had condensed his spiritual will, he was especially sensitive to the fluctuations of this imprint. He had instantly discovered the oddity within it.

He knew that it was definitely because of some item he had just received that had a soul imprint. Looking at the walls and the closed windows, Xiang Yun gave up on the idea of jumping off the building to escape.

The moment his body stepped into the corridor, Xiang Yun twisted his legs, causing the ground to emit a sharp screeching sound. Xiang Yun had already shot out like an arrow, charging towards the stairs at the end of the corridor!

As long as he rushed down the stairs, he would be able to run all the way down to the Cold Mountain Pa.s.s without any obstructions!

However, just as Xiang Yun dashed out of the door and sped up, the doors to the two rows of rooms burst apart at the same time. Over ten enormous dark green figures broke through the door at the same time, blocking the corridor!

"You actually dare to steal my store's treasure, stop this person!"

A group of Goliath guards hidden within the seventh floor obstructed Xiang Yun at the same time. They all unleashed their powerful auras without reservation. They were actually all Yellow Cloud martial pract.i.tioners!

A dozen or so Yellow Cloud Goliath guards blocked Xiang Yun's way. They simultaneously let out an explosive roar. The gathered momentum made them look like a steel fortress that wanted to cut off everything!

However, Xiang Yun was calm as he faced the crowd of ten or so barbarian experts. He didn't panic in the slightest. A cold light flashed in his eyes. He didn't slow down in the slightest as he charged straight at the dozen or so barbarian guards!

Xiang Yun's Divine Path was activated as his entire body flew forward like an ethereal phantom, the blood in his body instantly boiling as his Heavenly Dragon zhen Qi had already been circulating. All three of his spiritual roots were simultaneously channeling spirit energy!

"Boom!"

The two fists collided with each other. Two cracking sounds could be heard. The profound light and the Astral Qi in the fists of the two Yellow Cloud Realm barbarian guards instantly collapsed. Their steel-like arms were broken and their bones broke with a loud bang.

As the two of them flew backwards, three more barbarians rushed towards them from behind. One of them clasped his hands together and punched downwards with his thick fists. The other two attacked from both sides, their fists and feet sweeping across at the same time as they viciously attacked Xiang Yun's waist!

In that instant, Xiang Yun's two hands formed claws, and the tiger claw Jue Hu grabbed onto the two's fists and kicks. At the same time, one of his legs abruptly swung upwards, his speed so fast that he was the first to reach them.

With a kick, he sent the person flying through the air. At the same time, he used both of his hands to stop the two men's attacks.

Then, he raised his body and used it as a weapon to smash towards the barbarians in front of him.

Taking advantage of the three of them blocking him, Xiang Yun once again released great power from beneath his feet. The power of his spiritual will instantly condensed into more than ten fine Illusionary G.o.d Cone, rus.h.i.+ng into the minds of the crowd and attacking them, causing the guards to feel a sharp pain in their heads and a moment of blankness.

Meanwhile, Xiang Yun took advantage of this split-second to s.h.i.+ft sideways, savagely charging into the crowd like a bull that was being swallowed. At this moment, all of the cloud energy and blood in his body exploded forth as a terrifying wave of immense energy acted upon Xiang Yun's body.

Peng peng peng!

The sound of a huge hammer pounding against the wall was heard as the protective profound light around the barbarian guards, who were as muscular as a cow, cracked. They were knocked to the sides with a loud bang, causing the walls of the corridor to crack and crack.

Xiang Yun rushed all the way to the back in one breath, instantly sending over a dozen barbarian guards flying. When he arrived in front of the four of them, the four of them finally woke up from their moment of absent-mindedness.

In this critical moment of crisis, the four of them unleashed their greatest potential at the same time. The cloud energy within their bodies surged out, condensing into different colored clouds that roared and danced with the blades.

At this moment, Xiang Yun directly raised his palm. Cloud power instantly gushed forth from his arm, quickly circulating in a profound way in the center of his palm as it slowly took shape. A fiery phoenix broke out from the coc.o.o.n, spreading out its wings that were wrapped in crimson flames!

"Great Sung Sun G.o.d Palm Pills of the Phoenix and the Rising Sun!"

The palm shot out a heatwave that overflowed into the heavens, the sea of Qi churning. The entire corridor was like a fierce astral wind as it swept out. With a twist of s.p.a.ce, Xiang Yun and the Flaming Phoenix instantly clashed with the four people's attacks!

A loud explosion could be heard as the four figures formed from Yun Li's magical weapons collapsed in less than a breath of time. The Flamephoenix's expression was only slightly dimmer, but she was still charging forward with unstoppable force!

The four of them spat out mouthfuls of blood as they flew backward. Xiang Yun used the Great Sung Yang Divine Palm to clear a path, but his palm continued unabated as it raced towards the end of the hallway, reaching the seventh floor's stairs!

"Boom!"

In that moment of imminent peril, the wall of the room on the left side suddenly exploded, and a black figure flashed as it instantly appeared in front of Xiang Yun. The figure flipped his palm, directly striking Xiang Yun's Great Solar G.o.d Palm!

Both of Xiang Yun's hands clawed out a wall, attempting to stabilize his body, but the immense strength behind the attack caused Xiang Yun's claws to slash out ten deep gashes in the wall. His body was pushed back several zhang, before his foot finally pierced through the ground beneath him, taking root in his original position, before he was finally able to stabilize his body.

Looking at the black clothed man, Xiang Yun's heart was filled with shock.

What surprised him even more was that this black-robed man was clearly not a barbarian, but an ordinary human. Who was he, and why did he appear here?

Lift it.

What made Xiang Yun even weirder was that the black-robed man did not attack him immediately. His bright eyes were also sizing up the Barbarian's body that he had disguised himself with. There seemed to be a puzzled look in his eyes.

At this moment, Xiang Yun also suddenly discovered that this person's gaze seemed a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere before. However, he was unable to recall where he had seen it before.

"Hmph, who are you? "He actually dares to steal our Gesun Trading Company's treasury!"

A tall silhouette appeared behind him, dressed in an embroidered robe with a jade belt around his waist. In his hand were a few sparkling jewel rings. It was the president of the Gesun Trading Company, Ou Chengwen.

Seeing this person appear behind him, Xiang Yun's spiritual will stealthily reached out to him. However, the extravagant clothes on the latter's face were no ordinary robe. They were actually able to prevent Xiang Yun's spiritual will from probing them.

For a time, Xiang Yun was unable to detect this person's cultivation base. However, his intuition told him that this person was probably even more dangerous than the black-robed man!

"Are you the president of the Gesun Chamber of Commerce?" Xiang Yun asked in a deep voice.

At this moment, Xiang Yunyi had turned into a barbarian, and his aura had been concealed by the mountain and river stamper. Therefore, Ouyang Chengwen had taken him to be a barbarian.

Hearing this, Xiang Yun laughed coldly, "The face of the president of the Gesun Trading Company is really quite thick. He's the greatest trading company in the Tiger City, and he actually likes to commit acts of robbery. Furthermore, he's only allowed the officials of the Prefecture to set fire to him without any warning."

As Xiang Yun spoke, his eyes swept the area, looking for a path to escape!

"Humph, you're courting death. You don't want to hand over your things. Do you think you can get out just by delaying for time?"

As if he had seen through Xiang Yun's intentions, the four gemstones in his hands split apart and collided with each other again, emitting a crisp 'ding dong' sound. The four gemstones glowed, and in the next moment, the entire seventh floor's corridor was enveloped in a dark green light!

"Formation!"

Xiang Yun cursed inwardly. This array was not like the previous Five Elements Formations, where he did not have a way to break through. Moreover, the energy fluctuations from this array were clearly much stronger. His own strength was insufficient to forcefully break through it.

"Hand over the item and I'll spare your life!" Ouyang Chengwen stared darkly at Xiang Yun as he enunciated each word clearly!

Xiang Yun snorted coldly, "If you guys have the strength, then come and take it for yourselves."

Hearing this, Ouyang Chengwen did not make a move. He only looked at the black robed man in front of him, and the latter nodded slightly. In the next moment, he had already appeared in front of Xiang Yun like a ghost, his large hand enveloping Xiang Yun's head, as if even s.p.a.ce itself would collapse at this moment!

"Die!"

Xiang Yun was greatly shocked. He used all his strength to use the Divine Travelling Technique to dodge and was still hit on the shoulder by this ghostly palm. His body immediately lost balance and was sent flying, cras.h.i.+ng into the light barrier.

As for the black-robed man, he did not even give Xiang Yun a chance to catch his breath. He instantly moved to Xiang Yun's side and clawed at his neck with his sharp claws, as though he was a sharp knife that was trying to take his life.
