Chapter 426 - Escape

Chapter 426: Escape
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
The Poisonous Hitching Post was not fatal, but few were able to withstand the pain it brought.
Before Lan Shui’er could react, the blue light she saw pierced through her body directly. Layers of Gang Qi and Dharma power encircling around her could not stop this blue light at all. She felt a sharp pain sweeping through her whole body.

Uh, ah…!

This pain came too suddenly and impactful. Poor Lan Shui’er cried out without any mental preparation. The wave of her Dharma power began to become chaotic. Her blue robe expanded, and her body began to tremble violently.
She had never experienced such a sharp pain before. It spread from her flesh to her soul. She did not even experience it when she almost failed to pass the tribulation the last time. Her scream was sad and shrill, and her tears kept shedding.

A good chance!
Upon seeing her condition, Zhou Bao was elated. He planned to kill her with his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword.
But an accident took place again. Just when Zhou Bao was about to launch his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, the body of Lan Shui’er dispersed, just like bubbles, and disappeared without any trace.
It was an escaping skill!
Water-escaping Skill!
Lan Shui’er was a water monster and also a Four-tribulation True Immortal. She naturally excelled in Water-escaping Skill. She was attacked by Zhou Bao while unprepared and almost died from the immense pain. However, she managed to keep calm under these circumstances. As she thought of Zhou Bao’s Sword Qi that could eliminate her, she displayed Water-escaping Skill without thinking. Otherwise, she would be killed in this sharp pain, which was not worthwhile.
Zhou Bao felt greatly relieved after she left. But at the same time, he knew that his Poisonous Hitching Post could only let her feel extremely painful for an hour. After that, he would face her revenge. By then, it would be quite difficult for Zhou Bao to fight her, who aimed at seeking revenge wholeheartedly.
If he faced it alone, he would not be so afraid. However, there were so many people on Tusk Island. If they died here, he would not be able to explain to others when he returned home.
Thinking about this, he forced himself to utilize his Real Essence. After that, his body ascended quickly. After a few breaths, he stuck his head out of the water. When he saw Tusk Island, he sighed and felt relieved secretly.
What he feared most was that Lan Shui’er would bring him to a seabed, which was tens of thousands of miles away from Tusk Island, in order to keep secret. If so, no matter how hard he tried, he could not escape from there. But now, since he could see Tusk Island, things will be much easier.
He jumped out of the water. Although he was severely injured, he felt things could be done much easier on land, compared to the sea. He breathed deeply and displayed Three Realms Division. After several teleportations, he arrived at Tusk Island successfully and landed on a beach.
The Void Traveller was still on the beach. It was still covered with a layer of obscure golden light. There were 10 people in total, including Great Dark Lord Du, Chen Dao, Ji Yeyue and so on, and they were all scattered around. Some were sitting, standing, chatting, or meditating. They were doing their own things and it was a harmonious scene.
However, they were no longer at ease when Zhou Bao appeared in front of them.
This was because Zhou Bao looked very shabby. Other than a pale face and bloodstains on his body, his black robe was fragmented. Worst of all, he looked very vulnerable. The Gang Qi encircled him was very thin, as if it could easily be pierced by a finger.
Great Dark Lord Du’s expression changed. He rushed toward Zhou Bao and supported his teetering body.

Zhou Bao, what happened?


Hurry up, leave! We must leave now. It’s a trap!
Zhou Bao was not in the mood to talk nonsense and said rapidly. The anxiety showed on his face was not fake. Once Lan Shui’er recovered from anguish and launch the inhibition of Tusk Island, it would be too late for them to leave.
Great Dark Lord Du was alarmed when he saw Zhou Bao’s appearance and sensed the condition of Zhou Bao’s arm when he supported him. He could clearly feel that the bones in Zhou Bao’s arm were shattered. They were broken into pieces, rather than just broken.
Zhou Bao is extremely powerful. I wonder who was able to break his bones into pieces? I guess bones of his other body parts were shattered as well. He must have suffered more severe injuries!
He could not figure out how powerful Zhou Bao was, but Zhou Bao was certainly not inferior to him. If that guy could beat him up like this then he could do that to Great Dark Lord Du as well. Besides, this was someone else’s territory. Thinking about this, he dared not stay any longer. He supported Zhou Bao and flew toward the Void Traveller.

Board, be quick!
Great Dark Lord Du did not forget other people, and he yelled loudly.
Although they did not know what happened, they began to move towards the Void Traveller after they saw Zhou Bao’s appearance. Now that Great Dark Lord Du shouted out, they all flew towards the Void Traveller.

What are you doing? Get off the spaceboat! It hasn’t recovered yet!

Passing through that obscure golden light, Great Dark Lord Du was the first to board that spaceboat.
The light lacked interception and defense functions. Its main function was to prevent others from peeking using both naked eyes and the spiritual mind. Additionally, it could warn its owner when someone was coming. Just when Great Dark Lord Du went through the golden light, five golden-robed men of Divine Wind Palace together with Yu Nantian realized that something was wrong. Instantly, one of them came and stopped Great Dark Lord Du.

Get out of my way!
Great Dark Lord Du was no longer polite to them. He snorted and activated his powerful Gang Qi, shaking the man in front of him away.

You…!
Upon seeing Great Dark Lord Du being so rude, the expressions of the other golden-robed men that dashed here later darkened. They ran to Great Dark Lord Du and tried to argue with him. However, more people boarded at this moment. They did not know who should they stop. After all, they were only a group of five.
Great Dark Lord Du scanned the surroundings coldly. After ensuring that everyone was on the boat, he supported Zhou Bao and helped him sit on a chair on the deck. Then, he said to an angry golden-robed man,
It’s a trap. Hurry up. Leave now!

Upon hearing that, these golden-robed men looked uneasy. They said,
The spaceboat hasn’t been repaired yet. We still need some more time!


We have no time now! I guess the surrounding inhibitions have already been launched!
Zhou Bao looked paler.
Hurry up!

All the people looked up after Zhou Bao finished speaking, and their countenances changed suddenly. As Zhou Bao had said, the surrounding quiet grey smoke surged again and a group of strong spirits began to appear in their spiritual minds. Judging from their routes, they were flying towards the Void Traveller.
The leader of these golden-robed men was no longer calm. He glared at Zhou Bao and Great Dark Lord Du harshly, and then rushed into the inner cabin.

Damn, they’re coming!

At the same time, dozens of lights flashed from afar and showed up in front of the Void Traveller. These figures were different in size, and their appearances were quite weird. Led by Gu Tuo, they held their weapons and celestial devices and attacked the Void Traveller violently.

This is a small island but there are so many experts,
those on the Void Traveller thought. Upon seeing this scene, their expressions darkened. The attackers were all Level Seven or Level Eight experts, and the weapons they held were at least wizard weapons. Some even held Mysterious Level celestial devices.
All the people were shocked. The rumors about this place were right; the Sea Area was abundant in assorted treasures of heaven and earth as well as experts!
But they all knew it was not a proper time to be awed. They tried to fend against these attackers subconsciously as they saw that they were coming.
Just at this moment, they felt a shake under their feet. A faint golden light surged and enveloped the entire Void Traveller. Exterior attacks on the golden light only have little effect. The golden light only shook once, and the Void Traveller floated up slowly from the beach.
After being launched, the Void Traveller ascended at a fast speed. However, with its strong defensive power, no matter how these powerful monsters on Tusk Island attacked it, it remained intact. When it was almost 1,000 feet high, it suddenly sped up. In just a little while, it broke through the grey smoke on Tusk Island and returned to the sky above the endless sea. Then, it kept ascending while speeding up. The speed at which they were flying was comparably slower than when they were flying initially. After 10 to 12 hours, Tusk Island was tens of thousands of miles away from them. The Void Traveller gradually slowed down.
Yu Nantian came out of the inner cabin and his face became paler, as if he had exhausted too much energy.

Thank you for warning me, Great Dark Lord Du and Zhou Bao. Otherwise, we would have been trapped in Tusk Island!
He went to the deck and thanked them politely.
Yu Nantian was the nephew of the Master of Divine Wind Palace, who had a powerful background and practiced the Way of the Emperor. Therefore, he looked foppish and always valued himself too highly. But he was not a fool. He knew the order of priorities. Although Great Dark Lord Du and his partners had broken the rules and rushed to the spaceboat directly, they had made a right choice, judging from the things that happened later. He even needed to thank them for warning him. Staying in a trap was more dangerous than rushing out of it.
Their escape, from his point of view, was possible because of some miscalculation on their enemies’ part that caused their delay in launching the trap.

You’re too courteous. If it’s not because of this wonderful Void Traveller, we would have faced attacks from a horde of experts. It’s me that should thank you, Brother Yu!
Great Dark Lord Du was no longer as domineering as when he was boarding the spaceboat. He smiled and cupped one hand in another. What he had said was right; those who attacked the Void Traveller belonged to the first group of experts. Beside them, more than 10 experts were heading toward the Void Traveller from every direction of Tusk Island. Without the Void Traveller, they would have been besieged by dozens of experts, and that would not be fun.
