C239 I'll Stall for Time
There were a total of fourteen junior brothers and sisters.
Among them, there were only a mere four people who had already become Sovereigns.
Sun Wufan, Late Period of Emperor Sovereign.
Lee Qinglian, Middle Period of Emperor Sovereign.
Zhuge Tianji, Early Period of Emperor Sovereign.
Yao Yuanlong, Early Period of Emperor Sovereign.
There were only four Ancestor, and Yao Yuanlong was a supplementary contestant who specialized in alchemy. He knew nothing about direct combat.
But this didn't mean that he was a burden.
In these past few days, Yao Yuanlong practically relied on his own strength to shoulder all the supplies of his senior brothers and sisters.
With him around, there would be an endless supply of pill.
The entire team of fourteen people had relied on his pill to replenish their Spiritual Force and physical strength, and that was how they were able to travel at full speed for more than ten days without rest.
As the disciples travelled at full speed, they maintained a certain formation.
Sun Wufan and Zhuge Tianji were at the very front of the group, acting as the vanguard.
Lee Qinglian followed at the back, guarding the back of the group while also preventing others from falling behind due to exhaustion.
Yao Yuanlong was in the middle, in charge of distributing the pill to the entire group, and he was in charge of providing support when necessary.
The remaining people also had their own positions.
In these past ten days, while everyone was rushing at full speed, they had also killed many of the foreign races that blocked their path.
The dozen or so of them had also obtained over a million meritorious points.
In their opinion, this was already a huge sum of money.
Of course, compared to Shen Jun, this bit of meritorious points could not even be called loose silver.
This also made them worship Shen Jun even more deeply.
They had clearly come in together.
They were still feeling proud of the one to two million meritorious points.
However, their master had already ascended the meritorious ranking, and had more than three hundred million worth of wealth.
The difference between them was simply like the difference between clouds and mud.
He was truly worthy of being his master.
Just three or four days ago, they discovered that there seemed to be a small group of non-humans following behind them.
Without saying another word, Zhuge Tianji used his concealment technique and left the group to investigate.
When he returned, his expression was terrifyingly gloomy.
As the head of the assassins in Azure Wood Continent, he naturally had a lot of information.
The foreign races that followed behind them were the One-eyed Giant Devil Clan.
It was a disgusting race with a huge body and a single eye.
Why was it said that this race was disgusting?
Because their cultivation method was to eat!
They ate the corpses of other races, even their own kind, and then refined their source energy.
The more powerful the One-eyed Giant Devil, the more people they ate.
This time, there were a total of five One-eyed Giant Devil following behind them.
Two of them were Late Period of Emperor Sovereign and three were Middle Period of Emperor Sovereign.
After hearing the information brought back by Zhuge Tianji, Lee Qinglian's brows immediately furrowed into a frown.
Even Sun Wufan felt a headache coming on.
The combat strength of the five Ancestor Giant Demons could not be underestimated, but the three Ancestor Giant Demons were not necessarily afraid of them.
If everyone went all out and fought, then even if they couldn't defeat their opponent, they would still be able to retreat safely.
What gave the three of them a headache was these Half Emperor Cultivation Junior Brothers and Sisters.
If they wanted to fight this One-eyed Giant Devil squad head on, one of them had to take care of their junior brothers and sisters.
But this way, they would not have enough manpower to fight head on.
Lee Qinglian had no choice but to sigh and give the order to travel at full speed.
As long as they could reach Land of Opportunity, not to mention five One-eyed Giant Devil, even if there were fifty of them, what could they do?
With Master and Eldest Senior Sister here, they were not afraid of the sky falling down.
Everyone had their own pride.
Ordinary cultivators had it, not to mention these heaven warping geniuses.
They would never be able to accept the fact that they had to rely on the strength of others to save their lives.
Even if the person who saved them was his most respected master and Eldest Senior Sister.
On the way to escape, no one spoke. Everyone had a dejected expression.
Weak!
He was still too weak!
When they were in the Azure Wood Continent, they didn't have such a feeling.
Although they couldn't be compared to those top experts who stood at the peak of the mountain, they were still Half Emperor Cultivation.
With such a cultivation base, they could even establish their own sect and establish their own sect.
Even if they were placed in the Nine Great Sacred Grounds, they would still be the mainstay of their combat strength.
However, in just a dozen days of entering the Extraterritorial Battlefield, the pride and complacency of everyone had been mercilessly shattered.
The Extraterritorial Battlefield was truly filled with experts.
The Sovereign Realm experts were everywhere, and Half Emperor experts were worse than dogs.
Even if they were walking in the wild, from time to time, an Emperor Sovereign Stage alien would jump out.
When faced with such a situation, they could only watch as their senior brothers fought with their lives on the line.
For Half Emperor like them, even if they went, they would only drag them down.
This feeling caused the pressure on the entire team to drop.
They knew that there was no problem with their talent, and that they had to work hard enough.
What they lacked was only time.
As long as they were given enough time, there would sooner or later be a moment when they broke out of their cocoons and became butterflies.
To these geniuses, this feeling of powerlessness, this feeling of being able to only watch from the sidelines but not have the slightest bit of strength, was simply more uncomfortable than death!
Those Half Emperor junior brothers and sisters were the same. Lee Qinglian, Sun Wufan, and the other senior brothers were the same.
They also felt that they were too weak.
If they could be as strong as their master and Eldest Senior Sister, a few One-eyed Giant Devil wouldn't be a problem at all.
How could they be in such a sorry state?
Cultivate!
Become stronger!
This was the only thought in the minds of the fourteen disciples.
Wait! No matter how much they had to pay for their respect to their master, they would do their best!
They didn't want to drag them down any longer, much less watch from the sidelines!
"Senior brother, how far are we from Land of Opportunity?" Sun Wufan asked Lee Qinglian, who was at the back of the group, via divine sense.
"One day." Lee Qinglian replied in a deep voice with a solemn expression, "At least one more day."
He walked at the very end of the group, constantly paying attention to the movements of the five One-eyed Giant Devil.
In order to take care of their junior brothers and sisters, they could only slow down.
If they continued at this speed, in less than two hours, the other party would catch up.
After a full quarter of an hour of silence.
Sun Wufan once again sent Lee Qinglian a sound transmission, "Senior brother, if we keep walking like this, they will catch up with us sooner or later."
Lee Qinglian remained silent.
How could he not know about this?
But he really had no choice!
"Senior Brother, I'll go and stall them." Sun Wufan's voice was heard once again, but this time, his tone was unusually firm.
"It's only a day's time. I can handle it. Wait until you guys meet up with Master, then come back and find me!"
Without waiting for Lee Qinglian to reply, Sun Wufan immediately turned around and rushed towards the back of the group under everyone's shocked gazes.
"Wufan! Are you crazy?! Come back here! " Lee Qinglian's pupils violently shook as he anxiously shouted.
"You want to acknowledge me as your fellow disciple?! Keep going!"
"No one is allowed to come over! Senior Brother Qinglian, the same goes to you!"
Sun Wufan did not even turn his head, and responded with a similarly furious roar.
In the next second, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone was stunned.
Even Lee Qinglian was at a loss.
He really didn't dare to follow them at this time.
If he left the group as well, and his junior brothers and sisters ran into another Ancestor or foreign race, then they would really be wiped out.
"Senior Brother Qinglian, what is Senior Brother Wufan trying to do?"
"Given Senior Brother Wufan's character, he will definitely go and find those few One-eyed Giant Devil to buy us some time."
"Senior Brother Qinglian, we can't let senior disciple Wufan fall into a dangerous situation! Let's go and help him together. Since we're fellow disciples, we should go back together! "
"That's right senior disciple. I don't believe that with so many of us here, we can't defeat those five One-eyed Giant Devil."
In the next moment.
Ceng!
Lee Qinglian unsheathed his sword.
Golden sword energy rippled out from the sword like melted gold.
The surrounding space buzzed, and the sharp aura was frightening.
Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
The sound was like a red-hot piece of metal being soaked in cold water.
This was the sound produced when the Xuanyuan Sword Intent was burning!
An extremely powerful force instantly wrapped around everyone.
"Xuanyuan Sword, Divine Line!"
Lee Qinglian formed a hand seal and shouted.
The surging sword intent wrapped around the whole team and rushed towards the direction of Land of Opportunity.
"Senior Brother Qinglian, what are you doing!"
"Senior Brother Qinglian, we can't leave senior disciple Wufan behind!"
"That's right! If something really happens to senior disciple Wufan, we won't have the face to see our master!"
The junior brothers and sisters were as anxious as ants on a hot pan.
However, they were unable to break through Lee Qinglian's Xuanyuan Sword Intent, so it was worth it for Lee Qinglian to lead them as they pleased.
Lee Qinglian did not say a word.
Burning the sword intent was his last trump card.
After burning the sword intent, he would also suffer from the backlash. For a period of time, he would only be able to exert fifty percent of his combat strength.
But now, he had to use it no matter what.
He had to hurry up and meet up with his master!!
