Chapter 343 - 152: Come At Me Together
When they saw who had arrived, their shock gradually turned to fear. Without a second thought, they prepared to turn and flee.
This was Shen Bai, the one most likely to take first place in this internal exam. They didn’t believe for a second they could fight him.
They all chose different escape routes, scattering in various directions.
If they all fled in the same direction, Shen Bai would wipe them out in one fell swoop.
By scattering, they hoped to stretch Shen Bai too thin to catch them all.
As for who Shen Bai would chase, that was up to fate.
Whoever he chased could only curse their bad luck.
Their idea was sound, but they had forgotten just how vast the gap in strength was between them and Shen Bai.
Shen Bai didn’t even bother to give chase. He simply gave the Cold Moon in his hand a little shake.
The moment Shen Bai shook the Cold Moon, a thousand streams of Blood Red Sword Qi materialized and shot out toward the scattering figures.
CRACK!
With a sound like shattering eggshells, the Dao Text protecting their bodies instantly vanished.
As their Dao Text disappeared, they were instantly teleported away, vanishing without a trace.
Shen Bai, still holding his Cold Moon, glanced back over the area.
The area was now empty.
’A good method. I can keep this up.’ After a moment of thought, Shen Bai once again circulated the Qi in his body and activated Divine Thousand Miles.
As Shen Bai used Divine Thousand Miles, he transformed into a streak of light and shot into the sky once more.
Since the method worked so well, he might as well use it a few more times.
Ending the battles as quickly as possible to save a great deal of time was what mattered most to Shen Bai.
Soon, Shen Bai’s figure appeared high in the sky once again.
This time, numerous Observatory members saw him, and their faces filled with astonishment.
’He can fly? How can he fly?’
’This is bad! From up there, he can see everything below clearly! Quick, hide!’
’Hide, hide, hide! We have to hide now! What rotten luck, spawning next to this monster.’
Everyone was frantically cursing in their minds.
Quite a few Observatory members had already used the dense nearby forest to find a hiding spot.
Shen Bai watched this unfold, raised his Cold Moon, and wreathed it in Blood Red Sword Qi, which instantly shot forth from the blade.
Each beam of Sword Qi pulsed with a soul-piercing light as it descended upon the Observatory members below.
The thousand streams of Sword Qi were divided evenly, with several strands of Blood Red Sword Qi heading for each person.
Some of the weaker Observatory members were instantly pierced by the Sword Qi and transformed into streaks of light, eliminated without a trace in a flash.
A few of the slightly stronger Observatory members managed to block Shen Bai’s divided Sword Qi and immediately vanished down the road, hoping to find shelter elsewhere.
But Shen Bai wasn’t about to give them that chance. He shook his Cold Moon again, unleashing another thousand streams of Blood Red Sword Qi to eliminate the remaining Observatory members.
They couldn’t even withstand a single exchange; they were utterly incapable of troubling the current Shen Bai.
In just the time it took to take two breaths, everyone present—about twenty or so people—had been eliminated.
Shen Bai, however, did not sheathe his Cold Moon. Instead, he kept it ready as he continued to survey his surroundings.
Unfortunately, this time, Shen Bai found nothing.
Many Observatory members who were farther away had seen Shen Bai take to the sky and had immediately found cover.
Because of the distance and the fact that they were hiding, Shen Bai couldn’t spot their exact locations.
’Looks like this plan was only good for a couple of uses. Any more than that, and they’ll have countermeasures,’ Shen Bai thought.
Although the tactic was no longer useful, Shen Bai didn’t feel particularly discouraged.
After some thought, he descended from the sky, landed on the ground, picked a direction, and started moving straight ahead.
Since flying was now useless and only served to make him a conspicuous target, he decided to revert to a more conventional approach.
With that thought, Shen Bai’s figure vanished from the spot.
Shen Bai’s unexpected maneuver had disrupted many people’s plans. A lot of them chose to temporarily avoid his spearhead and hurried toward places with cover.
The world was vast, and with so many participants, quite a few managed to find a spot.
However, because cover was scarce, Observatory members seeking shelter within this space inevitably ran into one another, sparking numerous brutal battles.
The roar of combat echoed ceaselessly throughout the space.
...
「A great distance away.」
On a high mountain, there was a platform.
And on that platform sat over a hundred people.
The weakest among them was at the Meridian Realm.
In any State-level City, they would be considered a powerful core fighting force.
Combined with their youth, their future potential was limitless.
Yet at this moment, every single one of them wore a grim expression.
This was especially true for Fire Priest Lv Bei, Poison Master Chen Yu, and Double-Hook Xiang Quan.
The three of them exchanged glances, looking at the hundred or so Meridian Realm peers before them, and then the other two turned their gazes to Lv Bei.
Among the three of them, only Lv Bei was known for his sharp wit, so he had become their de facto leader.
"The moment Shen Bai entered, he flew straight into the sky, intending to end things quickly. He scared off a lot of people."
"Now they’re all hiding in various secret spots," Lv Bei said.
When Shen Bai rose into the sky earlier, he was a great distance away, but he could still see him with his own eyes. The sight had been utterly terrifying.
