God-Level Special Forces Soldier-Chapter 461 - 458: Earth Fissure

Of course, when I say a few people, it’s based on a group of a thousand, but in reality, the "few" that Saintly Virtue Daoist sees is at least fifty or more.

Seeing that the situation was about to spiral out of control if the laughter continued, Saintly Virtue Daoist hurriedly ran to a large tree that required three people to hug, striking the large bell that usually only rang in the early morning...

The sound of three melodious chimes slowly helped improve the situation.

Then Xiao Tian suddenly spoke up again, "I say, why don’t you play a suona instead of hitting a bell?"

"I think it would be more convincing if you took off your hat, put on a cassock, and then struck the bell!"

Hearing Xiao Tian clearly mock the incident of Saintly Virtue Daoist being imprisoned and getting his head shaved, the laughter that had just been suppressed in the disciples rose up again, more intense than before, almost exploding with thunderous laughter!

Saintly Virtue Daoist glared angrily at Xiao Tian, thinking that this brat’s mouth was even stronger than his skills; even if he killed him later, he would have to sew that mouth shut.

Seeing that everyone was more or less back to normal, Saintly Virtue Daoist gave a cold snort and shouted loudly: "Earth Splitting Technique, activate!"

The crowd, having practiced this formation for years, was so familiar with every part that even hearing those four words while laughing made their bodies react reflexively in unison.

Xiao Tian secretly marveled that this Dao Yi Sect was not without reason feared by everyone in Lu Province; just this move alone was much stronger than those so-called bodyguard companies.

Simultaneously, the outside world and people disappeared again, and the scene returned to the place where he had originally emerged from the ground, with the pit still at his feet.

Xiao Tian gathered all his strength, prepared to face this Earth Splitting Technique.

In fact, this was the strongest move that Saintly Virtue Daoist could currently use in his formation, after all, no matter how sophisticated the formation is, someone has to execute it, right?

Now that the Sect Leader had led a group of elder-level figures to Qing Province, more than half of Dao Yi Sect’s combat power was drawn away, being able to execute this Earth Splitting Technique was already quite challenging!

Just as Xiao Tian was about to confront the attack, the familiar urgent yet slight tremors came again, the ground under his feet began to rapidly dry and crack as if it hadn’t rained for ten years.

The ground beneath Xiao Tian’s left and right feet split violently to both sides accompanied by a cracking sound as Saintly Virtue Daoist waved his duster.

Caught unprepared, Xiao Tian was taken completely by surprise by the sudden change, the ground disappeared from under him, causing him to begin falling rapidly.

With nowhere to land, Xiao Tian had to follow the force of the fall speedily downward, the rushing wind beside his ears making him somewhat nervous.

Half a minute later, still not seeing the bottom of the abyss, Xiao Tian couldn’t help but look up, the ground had become invisible, and the sky appeared like a lone shining star.

Xiao Tian wrapped his arms in True Qi, groping around but felt that the surrounding darkness seemed endless, as if after a few minutes he still hadn’t touched anything.

Could this really fall to the center of the earth?

Xiao Tian started to daydream, then shook his head trying to convince himself it was just the environment.

But another voice told him the damage from being hit by stones earlier wasn’t something a mere illusion realm could do.

Xiao Tian wrestled with his thoughts, involuntarily thinking about what if he really fell into the earth’s core lava...

Outside the array, Saintly Virtue Daoist watched Xiao Tian’s changing expressions, knowing that the array had taken effect.

This Earth Splitting Technique actually had no physical damage, as long as those inside the array held onto their core beliefs.

But truth be told, how many people can truly not breathe erratically or let their imagination run wild when falling into a bottomless abyss?

The fear of the unknown is the most intense for people, one might not fear when seeing lions and tigers.

But, if you lock them in a pitch-black enclosed space, even those warriors who aren’t afraid of lions and tigers would become uneasy.

At that point, all those fears hidden deep within would surge out all at once, drowning them in a sea of terror...

Now, it’s a test of endurance, to see whether Saintly Virtue Daoist’s side runs out of True Qi first or if Xiao Tian is defeated by his inner fear first!

A half-hour later, seeing his nephews dripping with sweat and their lips cracked, Saintly Virtue Daoist hurriedly fetched two large wooden barrels of water from a well, hand-feeding each of them with a bowl.

After everyone among the thousand had drunk a large bowl, and Saintly Virtue Daoist had fed the last of his nephews who was on the verge of dehydration, he himself poured out a bowl from the bucket and drank it all in one go.

Then he collapsed to the ground, unable to even move a finger!

Saintly Virtue Daoist was already injured and still had to fetch water back and forth relentlessly, carrying buckets to water those nephews who couldn’t hold on, managing to feed all thousand within half an hour, enough to apply for a Guinness World Record!

Lying on the ground for a while, feeling slightly recovered, Saintly Virtue Daoist sat up, looking at his nephews who, though some looked fatigued with eyes closed tight, no longer had such pale faces or cracked lips, he couldn’t help but smile.

Xiao Tian, will you not die this time?

Finally having a moment to check on Xiao Tian in the array, Saintly Virtue Daoist’s eyes filled with expectation looked towards the array, but he couldn’t help but step back a few steps, sitting on the ground, nearly fainting...

Half an hour ago, when Saintly Virtue Daoist had started fetching water to feed his nephews.

Xiao Tian already began to feel on the brink of a mental split due to the array, seeing such signs, he acted without hesitation with a most violent yet effective response—knocking himself out!

With some effort, Saintly Virtue Daoist withdrew the array using his duster, knowing that continuing was pointless.

At the moment Saintly Virtue Daoist withdrew the array, Xiao Tian’s eyes in the array snapped open wide, releasing rainbow-colored lights with destructive power!

In the instant that Mountain Protection Array came into contact with those lights, it shattered like glass hit with a stone, with a crisp cracking sound following, a group of Saintly Virtue Daoist’s nephews spat blood and collapsed, the weaker ones fainting right there.

Seeing the sect treasure inherited for decades destroyed, Saintly Virtue Daoist immediately spewed a mouthful of black blood, falling on the ground barely holding on...

——

Meanwhile, outside, Lu Neng, witnessing this scene, was so frightened his legs began to cramp, promptly ordering those behind him to run.

There’s a saying that it’s easier to climb up a mountain than it is to come down, which in this moment showed vividly.

Those with Lu Neng, seeing this terrifying scene, already wanted to escape, and with Lu Neng personally giving the order, they fled in a panic.

The rear had no clue what was happening, being jostled down the mountain, those unlucky to fall got trampled by others unable to stop, when they realized it, the fallen were often already dead.

To make matters worse, if a large number fell, a domino effect would occur leading to a large collapse, with some unable to stop crashing into those in front, pushing them off the narrow mountain path.
