Battle Through The Heavens Season 5
Ch. 20 - A Fierce Battle on the Road

"Kill it!"

Elder Qing of the ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ was not hesitant at all in the face of Fan Lao's pitch-black cries. His expression was dark and solemn as he let out a loud scream. A powerful Dou Qi surged from within his body, and his powerful aura instantly shook the leaves and plants on the ground around him until they shot backwards. From this strength, his strength should have already advanced to the Dou Wang level.

Under this shout of his, twenty more strong people from the surrounding ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ also let out a "chang" sound as they grabbed their weapons and let their Dou Qi surge out. The threads of different snake-shaped Dou Qi swirled around their bodies before flowing away, finally and suddenly erupting with a terrifying strength, the, who attacked the red-robed warriors around them.

Two torrential currents, one green and one red, collided violently, meeting in the middle of the main road. Waves of energy ripples began to gush out like waves.

When the ruthless and numb Blood Sect warriors violently slashed their blades down, they were surrounded by a bloody aura. They did not make any sound. The strong people of ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ also had dark and solemn faces as they circulated the Dou Qi in their bodies to the limit. Their weapons, which were covered by Dou Qi, carried ‘si si’ clouds in the air that were cut as they cunningly and viciously targeted the vital part of the Blood Sect warriors.

The strong man from both sides was not a mediocre person. Not only were their strengths strong, but it was also clear that they were well trained. Although there was no loud noise, the bloody fight to the death was buried deep within the slaughter. Often, there was a muffled sound from the sharp weapons piercing the flesh. Fresh blood will soon be scattered.

Elder Qing's expression was ice-cold. He held a long snake-shaped sword. Every time the sword arch whirled strangely, it would pass through the neck of a Blood Sect warrior. After which, it would carry blood scars like fresh blood coming out. As long as fresh blood flowed, he would move in an instant, like an agile and ferocious Sand Mandala Snake.

Bodies gradually piled up on the side of the road. Most of them were people from the Blood Sect. Although, there are also some of the ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ among them. However, no matter how Elder Qing led the people to make murderous accusations going forward, there would be a number of Blood Sect warriors who were unceasingly coming out from within the forest, he said, breaking his intention to flee into the forest.

Elder Qing's eyes were cold as he pierced through the chest of the Blood Sect warrior with his sword thrust. His gaze quickly swept around him and his heart sank when he discovered that the nearly twenty elite ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ who were by his side had originally been reduced to only eight people.

The snake sword in his hand pierced explosively behind him and pierced through the throat of a Blood Sect warrior, who was planning to launch a sneak attack. His shoulders trembled slightly and a pair of wings agglomerated from the green-colored Dou Qi which swiftly appeared to the surface. His feet gently pushed off the ground as his old body suddenly rose into the sky. However, he was just about to turn around and escape, a shadow suddenly shot through the sky. A cold and dark majestic force immediately came pressing down fiercely from the sky. Due to the force being too strong, it actually caused the sound barrier to break down, releasing explosive sounds along the way.

Sensing the majestic power transmitted from above his head, Elder Qing's expression slightly changed. He raised both of his hands, and a green light shone brightly from top to bottom, enveloping his entire body inside.

"Bang!"

The majestic force fell down and violently crashed into the green-colored light cover that Elder Qing had just made. The latter trembled violently and finally could not resist the attack a moment later. Following the slight sound, its light cover broke in the air. Elder Qing inside also let out a muffled groan and his expression was much paler as he fell.

"Ha ha, Elder Qing, I already said, no one should think of leaving this place today!" A red shadow flashed across the sky. The pair of wings of Dou Qi like fresh blood on Fan Lao's back was extremely eye-piercing. As they flapped, one could even smell the smell of blood drifting in the wind.

Fan Lao laughed out loud. He did not give Elder Qing the chance to catch his breath. With a flap of blood wings on his back, his body suddenly shot down, like a blood-sucking bat that had locked onto its prey.

Seeing Fan Lao pounce, with a pale face, Elder Qing could only grit his teeth violently as he unsheathed his sword to meet him. As the Dou Qi in his body circulated at maximum speed, the extremely ferocious Dou Qi directly caused the surrounding air to emit a slight wave. From the looks of it, this Qing Elder had expended his strength to the maximum in order to escape the hands of the Dou Huang class Fan Lao alive.

Seeing the brutal battle to the death on the path below and then carefully watching the fight in the sky, which was basically one-sided, Xiao Yan, who was hiding in the net, was, could not resist shaking his head. He muttered, "It looks like the people from ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ have no chance of escaping alive today."

"Ah, the Blood Sect must have spent a lot of effort to put a great power in an ambush here without informing the other factions. No matter how wary the people from ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ are, they will likely have trouble escaping today. " Yao Lao nodded and said.

"Fan Ling was also below. However, there were always two powerful Dou Ling protecting him. It's quite troublesome. " The gaze of Xiao Yan swept across the battlefield below. In that place, Fan Ling held the blood blade as she hacked the strong person from the ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ into two, while smiling ferociously. Regardless of what happened, the two old men beside him were no more than a meter away from him.

"Don't rush to attack that Fan Ling. Otherwise, if Fan Lao sensed it, things would become a little troublesome. Because of that damn ‘Hall of Souls’, I can no longer lend my spiritual power fearlessly like I have in the past. Therefore, you must act carefully when meeting these strong people in the future." Yao Lao's heavy voice warned.

Xiao Yan nodded slightly. He gently inhaled a breath of air and suppressed the anxiety in his heart and quietly observed the developments occurring below.

There might be many people from the Blood Sect, but the group from ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ is clearly stronger than the previous one. Therefore, by relying on the gotong royong silently, this shaky-looking group could eventually survive and would not perish even if their bodies were full of wounds. Those who could follow Elder Qing to come to the chaotic region called ‘The Black-Corner’ Region did have some expertise.

Although the ground was solid, the strength of the Dou Wang class of Elder Qing in the sky was no match for Fan Lao, who was a powerful Dou Huang. The latter's movements were swift and ghost-like. After only exchanging over ten blows, Elder Qing's pale facial expression grew even paler.

"Bang!"

Elder Qing suddenly raised his head as he hurriedly retreated. Her real pretty face was currently filled with savagery. He swung his hand and a cold jade box appeared in his palm. With a sharp and firm shout, he said, "Old Devil Fan, if you dare to come, I will let this ‘Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill’ turn into powder on the spot."

"Duo!" The figure pouncing from the front suddenly stopped. Fan Lao looked at it with Elder Qing's dark eyes and slowly said, "If you dare to destroy the ‘Yin-Yang Mysterious Dragon Pill’, I will cripple your Dou Qi, I will cripple your Dou Qi, and then locking you in the Blood Sect and raising you like a pig or a dog, made especially to wait for the people from our Blood Sect.

The words thrown by that calm tone were so vile, that they made the entire body of people feel cold.

As he thought of a fate where death was better than life, Elder Qing's expression could not help but change even with his mental strength. The hand, which was holding a cold jade box, could not help but tremble slightly.

Just as Elder Qing was struck by Fan Lao's cruel words until he became a little dazed, Fan Lao's body suddenly shook and completely disappeared into nothingness.

Elder Qing sensed something as Fan Lao's body disappeared. His expression changed abruptly, but before he could retreat, a faint red shadow appeared in front of him. A blood-red hand shot out explosively and violently cut off Elder Qing's arm. The sound of a broken bone could be heard immediately.

"Aah!"

The intense pain transmitted from his hands directly caused Elder Qing to involuntarily scream out loud. He had no time to store the cold jade box before being snatched away by Fan Lao in a lightning-like manner. The latter smiled and hurriedly retreated.

As he retreated, Fan Lao quickly opened the cold jade box. The golden light immediately shot out. The wild excitement and pride on his face grew even more concentrated as he quickly closed the box and threw it towards Fan Ling below. He shouted, "Ling-er. Take it and pull it first. Blood Guards from the Blood Sect, protect the Junior Sect Leader until he reaches Mu Zhi City! I'll block everyone here! "

Fan Ling hurriedly jumped up and grabbed the cold jade box with her hand upon hearing the order. He quickly put it into his storage ring and no longer hesitated. With a wave of his hand, over ten Blood Guards left the battlefield. The group of people, with Fan Ling as its leader, changed direction and quickly rushed towards the south.

"ah! Fucking Fan... I won't let you have an easy time even if I have to risk my own life today! " Older Qing's face turned green when the most important thing was snatched from his hand. He raised his head and let out a shrill voice. A terrifying Dou Qi, which was two to three times stronger than before, emerged from his body in all directions. As Dou Qi surged wildly, some fresh blood actually started flowing from under Elder Qing's skin.

Elder Qing's eyes were cruel as he looked at Fan Lao, who was slightly frowning. He held the snake sword tightly and flapped the wings on his back. His body turned into a ray of light, carrying a sharp explosive sound that spread throughout the sky as he charged at Fan Lao wildly.

"A counterattack before death, huh? Hey, no matter how you fight, you will never be my match." Fan Lao laughed when he saw Elder Qing's strength suddenly surge. He slightly curled his hand and a long blade, which seemed to be clumped from fresh blood, appeared in his palm. He held the long knife in his hand as the blade shook slightly. The bloody aura immediately began to spread.

Fan Lao held the blood blade tightly and showed no signs of shrinking or withdrawing. He chose the method of fighting head-on as he turned into a blood-colored shadow, which carried a bloody scent that spread throughout the sky as he collided violently with Elder Qing.

An explosion immediately resounded throughout the horizon.

After Fan Ling got the jade box and retreated, Xiao Yan also quietly slipped out of the thickets. He was like an agile monkey as he passed through the forest and trailed Fan Ling's group. His footsteps came to a slight halt when he heard a loud voice echoing throughout the sky. His eyes turned to look at the sky behind him. His gaze landed where two lights, one green and one red, each occupied half of the sky.

"Hopefully not everyone in ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’ is dead."

Xiao Yan sighed softly and no longer stopped. He turned around and once again locked onto his target, a huge red shadow at the end of his gaze. She has no deep relationship with ‘Sky Serpent Mansion’. Naturally, it was impossible for him to save them. In this ‘Black-Corner’ region, forget the so-called ‘act when seeing injustice’. Even if you scream and walk forward as if nothing had happened after shouting, it would also attract countless knives stabbing at you.

Moreover, the current Xiao Yan was having trouble protecting himself. If he went and put his nose into someone else's business, it would obviously be a very stupid thing. Therefore, he could only murmur softly in his heart.

The only goal he had now was to use all means to reclaim the map fragment from Fan Ling.
