Immortal God of War-Chapter 684 - 651: Fight to the Summit (1)_1

"Don’t take a detour."

Qin Feiyang, however, shook his head.

"Why?" Ling Yu asked, looking at him in confusion.

Qin Feiyang said, "First, answer me this: what are those Blood Puppets up ahead chasing?"

Ling Yu frowned. "Isn’t it obvious? They’re chasing people, of course."

"Exactly," Qin Feiyang stated. "The people from Crane Province, Kun Province, Chang Province, and Yun State are all ahead of us. So, the people these Blood Puppets are chasing must be them. In other words, we’ve already caught up to them."

"Right," Ling Yu agreed. "But that’s precisely why we should take a detour. Only by avoiding the Blood Puppets ahead can we truly surpass them."

"Your thinking is sound, but you’re overlooking the direction those Blood Puppets are heading." Qin Feiyang’s gaze flickered. "See? They’re all moving toward that silhouette. These Blood Puppets are pursuing Mo Wushen and his group. If the Blood Puppets went that way, then Mo Wushen and the others must have gone there too. I suspect that silhouette isn’t just some ordinary landmark!"

Ling Yu’s pupils contracted. He looked up at the silhouette, uncertainty clouding his face.

Zhao Yu glanced at Qin Feiyang and said, "Ling Yu, let’s do as Brother Qin says."

Ling Yu nodded and looked at Qin Feiyang. "Brother Qin, give the orders!" In terms of intellect, he had to admit he wasn’t Qin Feiyang’s equal.

Qin Feiyang said, "There aren’t many orders to give. Just be ready to fight at any moment."

"Understood." Everyone nodded.

SWOOSH!

The eight small boats shot forward like arrows, cutting through the waves.

Mo Wushen and his group, up ahead, were now only a little over two hundred meters from the Other Shore. It was so close they could almost touch it. Every one of them was ecstatic.

Two hundred meters!

One hundred fifty meters!

One hundred meters!

But just as they entered the one-hundred-meter range, the faces of the five people in the lead suddenly twisted in agony. Immediately after, all five turned to look behind them.

AHH!!!

The next moment, accompanied by a series of agonized screams, the five individuals exploded and died, one after another! The small boats beneath their feet also instantly turned around and headed back.

"What happened?"

The people behind them stopped simultaneously, staring in shock and confusion at the five returning small boats.

The blond young man turned to Liu Yunfeng and Pei Sanshi. "You two, go check it out."

"Us?" The two of them raised their eyebrows.

The blond young man roared impatiently, "Go now, or don’t blame me for being ruthless!"

A fierce glint flashed in the eyes of Liu Yunfeng and Pei Sanshi. Wasn’t this clearly sending them to be cannon fodder?

Mo Wushen sent a voice transmission: "We’re outnumbered and weaker; we can’t oppose them. Go quickly, and be careful."

The two glared darkly at Mo Wushen. On the surface, Mo Wushen seemed concerned, but in reality, he harbored ulterior motives. They knew that both Mo Wushen and Yan Tianfeng wanted to eliminate them. However, they had been on guard the entire journey, giving neither man an opportunity. And now... Mo Wushen certainly wouldn’t miss such a perfect chance.

Yet, despite knowing this, they had no way out. The blond young man’s strength far exceeded theirs; if they dared to refuse, they would surely be killed on the spot. The Other Shore was right before them; dying now would be an immense waste.

Seeing their hesitation, the murderous intent in the blond young man’s eyes was undisguised. He roared, "Still not going?"

More importantly, the Blood Puppets behind them were catching up quickly. If they didn’t figure out why those five had died before the Blood Puppets arrived, they would have to charge in without any mental preparation. At that point, their chances of survival would be slim.

"Let’s go!" Liu Yunfeng transmitted to Pei Sanshi. "Although it’s dangerous, it’s also an opportunity." If they could discover the cause of those five deaths and manage to overcome it, they would undoubtedly be the first to reach the Other Shore.

HUFF!

Pei Sanshi took a deep breath, steering his small boat alongside Liu Yunfeng as they slowly sailed forward.

At that moment, Mo Wushen and the others held their breath, watching the two intently.

Finally, Liu Yunfeng and Pei Sanshi entered the one-hundred-meter range.

"Save me..."

"Don’t leave me behind..."

"Your mother misses you; please come back..."

"Child, why aren’t you answering me..."

"I’m right behind you, turn around and look at me..."

Instantly, a series of incredibly mournful and desperate voices came from behind them, relentlessly assailing their ears.

"You two scumbags, I’ve wanted to kill you for a long time! Go to hell!"

"Daring to challenge our positions? You’re courting death!"

"Let me tell you, you will never leave the Netherworld alive!"

Immediately after, the voices of Mo Wushen and Yan Tianfeng also reached their ears, filled with bone-chilling murderous intent. They could even clearly feel two terrifying auras erupting from behind them. Instantly horrified, they quickly looked back.

But when they did, they were dumbfounded. Because at this moment, Mo Wushen and Yan Tianfeng showed no sign of having attacked.

This is bad! They suddenly snapped back to reality. It was an illusion!

However, they realized it too late. Accompanied by two chilling screams, their bodies exploded, blood spraying into the sky.

Witnessing this, the blond young man and the others were shocked to their core. How could they have died so quickly? What on earth just happened?

At that moment, the area barely one hundred meters ahead seemed like a death zone to them, a place they dared not enter.

ROAR!!!

Just then, roars resounded from behind, less than a hundred meters away. They knew without guessing that the Blood Puppets were catching up.

The green-haired young man shouted, "We can’t worry about that now! Let’s go!"

Immediately, the group steered their small boats and, steeling themselves, headed towards the stone steps.

But they had barely entered the one-hundred-meter range when all their small boats stopped. Their faces twisted in agony as they struggled violently. In the blink of an eye, four more people turned around, their bodies exploding as they died!

Including Liu Yunfeng, Pei Sanshi, and the initial five, a total of eleven people had now died. And all eleven of them were War Ancestors!

However, those Blood Puppets made no further chase, nor did they retreat. They positioned themselves behind Tan Wu and the others, clearly intending to cut off their escape route.

At the same time, Qin Feiyang’s group of eight, rushing toward this area, also spotted the stone steps leading up into the clouds. And when the words "Other Shore" came into view, all eight of them were ecstatic!

Dong Zhengyang exclaimed excitedly, "We’ve finally arrived! Hurry, let’s catch up! We might still make it!" Having endured for so long, he was beside himself with joy at finally seeing the Other Shore.

Qin Feiyang glanced at the stone steps, then at the Stele, and finally at the Blood Puppets in front. Suddenly, he noticed more than ten small boats drifting toward them. However, there were so many Blood Puppets that his view was obstructed, and he couldn’t see Tan Wu and the others clearly. But his intuition told him something was happening up ahead.

Just then, Dong Zhengyang and the others had already steered their small boats and were charging forward.

Qin Feiyang’s expression changed. He immediately urged his boat to chase after them, shouting, "Stop! Stop right now!"

"The Other Shore is right ahead! Why stop now?" Zhao Yu called back without turning his head.

"Didn’t you see those drifting small boats?" Qin Feiyang said angrily. "There are more than ten of them! That means over ten people have already died! It must be dangerous up ahead. We can’t be reckless!"

Hearing this, Dong Zhengyang and the others scanned the sea. When they saw the more than ten small boats, they were instantly jolted and hastily brought their own boats to a stop.

Qin Feiyang caught up to them and said gravely, "If you act so impulsively again, I won’t be responsible for whether you live or die."

"We’re sorry."

"We were wrong."

Dong Zhengyang and his two companions, as well as Ling Yu and his three companions, all wore expressions of remorse as they apologized to Qin Feiyang.

AHH!!

Suddenly, two despairing screams echoed from the distance.

The eight of them looked up, their eyes filled with alarm and confusion.

Qin Feiyang’s expression turned serious. "Undoubtedly, reaching the Other Shore won’t be simple. Everyone, be careful."

"Understood." Dong Zhengyang and the others nodded.

"Let’s go!"

With a wave of Qin Feiyang’s hand, the eight of them once again steered their small boats toward the stone steps.

ROAR!

The Blood Puppets chasing them from behind suddenly roared furiously.

Instantly, all the Blood Puppets blocking Tan Wu and the others turned around in unison to face Qin Feiyang’s group of eight.

"Damn it!" Qin Feiyang and the others cursed, their expressions grim.

They didn’t know how many Blood Puppets were behind them, but there were over fifty ahead.

ROAR!!!

The fifty-odd Blood Puppets charged toward Qin Feiyang’s group, their roars shaking the heavens and the earth!

"What do we do?" Dong Zhengyang asked Qin Feiyang.

Qin Feiyang looked at Lu Xingchen. "Isn’t it about time you made a move? We can’t always rely on Ling Yu and his companions, can we?"

"Hm?" Everyone looked at Lu Xingchen in surprise.

"How could I dare disobey Brother Qin’s command?" Lu Xingchen smiled. He raised his hand and pointed into the air; a giant storm instantly materialized from nothing. Countless wind blades swirled within it, radiating a world-destroying might! At the same time, an imposing aura surged from him, as if a god had descended upon the world.

"Such a powerful aura!"

"What a terrifying battle technique!"

"Lu Xingchen, you’re actually a Three-Star War Ancestor!" Dong Zhengyang and Ren Wushuang were utterly dumbfounded.

Ling Yu and his three companions were also horrified. And by their judgment, the battle technique Lu Xingchen was currently using was also a Perfect battle technique!

Lu Xingchen smiled faintly. "It seems I never admitted to being a Seven-Star War Emperor, did I?"

WHOOSH! SWISH!

With a grand wave of his hand, the colossal storm surged towards the Blood Puppets ahead. Wherever it passed, the sea churned, and bloody waves billowed! The Blood Puppets, like rotten wood, were instantly obliterated, a large swath of them wiped out in a moment. In just two blinks of an eye, the massive storm tore open a path.

Ling Yu and his three companions exchanged shocked glances. They never imagined that Spirit State harbored such a formidable expert!

"This is no time to be distracted! Go!" Qin Feiyang shouted.

The eight of them steered their small boats, following closely behind the giant storm at full speed.

In less than ten breaths, they broke through the encirclement. However, when they saw Tan Wu and the others’ situation, their faces filled with utter bewilderment.

What on earth were these people doing? Why were they all standing there, motionless?
