Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh-Chapter 123 - 103: Ambushed (Part 3)
"Speaking of it, it’s because none of the seven factions in the Cyan Gorge Mountain Range specialize in the Path of Array."
At that moment, Chu Ning secretly complained in his heart.
Seeing Gu Xiaoqing say this, the others didn’t comment further.
Each of them took out their Magical Artifacts and Flying Swords from their Storage Bags, took to the sky, and swiftly flew towards Yan Workshop.
The five people were just as when they came.
The most powerful, Gu Xiaoqing, was the first to fully activate her Flying Sword, sweeping forward like a streak of startling rainbow.
Shen Zhengquan drove the Flying Boat, carrying Lu Miaoying, right behind.
Chu Ning was in the middle, driving the Wind Chasing Shuttle. His Magical Artifact was actually higher in level than Shen Zhengquan’s, making speed control easier.
If not for the fear of being alone, he would have left directly.
As a result, Luo Yiping was left at the back.
He tried his best to push his Flying Sword, but could never catch up with Chu Ning, showing a trace of helplessness in his eyes.
Especially after flying for a while, he took a Replenishing Essence Pill, while Chu Ning showed no reaction at all, making him feel quite envious.
Flying with a sword consumes far more Magical Power than this Flying Magical Artifact.
Feeling imbalanced, Luo Yiping finally couldn’t help but shout:
"Chu Ning, did you really see clearly what was ahead just now?
You’re not teasing us on purpose, making us rush so hard, are you?"
Chu Ning was speechless at the ridiculous thought from the other party and naturally didn’t want to respond.
Seeing this, Luo Yiping increasingly believed that Chu Ning was up to something.
He actually stopped directly and shouted:
"Hey Chu, you better explain, are you messing with me or not?"
Chu Ning could never have imagined Luo Yiping would be so self-conceited.
Seeing Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan ahead seemingly intending to stop, he continued flying forward on his Wind Chasing Shuttle.
"I have low cultivation, I’m not risking my life as a joke."
Leaving those words behind, Chu Ning overtook Gu Xiaoqing, maintaining his speed towards the front.
Just halted Gu Xiaoqing and Shen Zhengquan saw this, and continued flying forward.
Luo Yiping could only grit his teeth and follow them.
Once Chu Ning flew less than five miles at the forefront, his speed slightly decreased.
Being in the very front made him feel unsafe.
He intended to fall back to the center of the group again.
But just then, Chu Ning felt a sudden alertness in his heart.
Almost instinctively, he activated the Silver Crystal Frost Bamboo Shield he was holding, blocking it in front of him.
At the same moment, four figures soared in front of Chu Ning out of nowhere.
Simultaneously, three beams of red-black light shot directly at Chu Ning and the others.
Being at the front, Chu Ning naturally caught the brunt of it.
The powerful attack filled Chu Ning’s heart with terror.
He prepared the Wind Chasing Shuttle to dodge to the side while quickly activating an Intermediate Defense Talisman around himself.
At the same time, he ran the Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique with full force.
Chu Ning couldn’t have reacted faster, but the speed of that red-black beam was just too fast.
So fast that just as he began to move, the three beams of red-black light had already arrived.
"Pop! Pop!"
The two beams struck Chu Ning’s Intermediate Lower Grade Defense Talisman shield, which should withstand attacks from a Cultivator of Qi Refining Perfection, yet it instantly shattered.
Then, the remaining beam of red-black light struck the Silver Crystal Frost Bamboo Shield in front of Chu Ning.
The next moment, Chu Ning’s face turned extremely pale.
The Silver Crystal Frost Bamboo Shield only held it off for a moment before it was pierced through.
Weakened red-black light struck directly at his body.
"Poof!"
The piercing red-black light broke through multiple layers of protection, hitting Chu Ning’s body with a dull thud.
He was thrown backward by the force.
This all happened too quickly, by the time Gu Xiaoqing, Shen Zhengquan, and the others reacted.
They saw Chu Ning hit and falling towards the ground.
Not caring about how Chu Ning fared, they quickly landed.
Because at that moment, several figures were already attacking them.
"Watch out!"
Gu Xiaoqing cried, pointing a Flying Sword towards a tall slender man in black.
Meanwhile, her other hand formed a spell gesture. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎
A red light blade struck at another person.
However, the others noticed Gu Xiaoqing had the highest cultivation, so two people attacked her.
The other two attacked Shen Zhengquan and Lu Miaoying.
Falling at the back, Luo Yiping descended to the ground and was moving to help Lu Miaoying.
At that moment, another red-black beam appeared from behind, shooting straight at Luo Yiping.
It was the same powerful attack method that had attacked Chu Ning before.
Luo Yiping, being somewhat cautious by now, reacted immediately.
After using some unknown Magical Artifact, a cyan-colored shield appeared around him.
At the same moment, Magical Power surged through his body, seemingly employing some Body Protection Technique.
However, he obviously underestimated the power of the red-black beam.
Neither Chu Ning’s Intermediate Lower Grade Defense Talisman nor the Silver Crystal Frost Bamboo Shield, the Intermediate Defense Magical Artifact, could resist it.
With only two layers of protection, how could he withstand such an onslaught?
The black-golden light breached through his artifact protection, hitting the protective Body Protection Technique shield.
Finally showing a look of panic, Luo Yiping intended to escape.
But at that moment, it was already too late.
The merciless red-black light pierced through the defense shield, passing through his body.
The next moment, a black-clad figure appeared. It was the very same black-clad man who had shown up at Chu Ning’s shop earlier.
He had informed his companions about the ambush and had been following behind.
Seizing the opportunity, he killed Luo Yiping with one strike.
He then swiftly moved forward.
Wielding an entirely black Magic Staff, he aimed to join the battle.
Witnessing this, the faces of Gu Xiaoqing, Shen Zhengquan, and Lu Miaoying drastically changed.
The power of the red-black light was just too great, causing them great dread.
The only slight relief was that these foes seemed to have a limitation on using the red-black light.
Each only launched one before they could not use it again.
Even so, they were filled with unease inside.
A single exchange had already cost them two combatants, rendering the five-against-three situation almost hopeless.
Especially Lu Miaoying, whose face brimmed with despair.
She was only at the Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer, struggling against one black-clad attacker.
With another black-clad figure joining, death seemed certain.
But at that moment, she suddenly saw, to her surprise, the expression of the black-clad figure flying from behind change dramatically, as he shouted towards her side.
"Watch out!"
The gray-clad man engaging with Lu Miaoying was also puzzled, not understanding why his companion was shouting at him.
Nonetheless, he instinctively activated his Magic Power protective shield.
At that very instant, a cyan-colored sword-shaped spell flew from not far away, hitting the shield directly.
The shield began dissipating visibly before their eyes.
While the cyan light sword grew brighter.
