Chapter 1043: Escape 1

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Coco Dart’s disgusting sharp laugh caused the situation to tense up.

Backed against the crowd, Golden Butterfly’s hands slowly started to form prints. She concentrated traces of her Willpower, silently drawing the light airstream in the surroundings.

“Alright then, have you decided? Are you handing us the item or your lives? Make your choice between those two,” Coco Dart laughed femininely, his bearded face, in contrast, was completely revolting.

“Our decision is very simple… And that is…” Golden Butterfly smiled, “Move it!!”

She suddenly raised her arm, multiple beams of golden light shot out, forming a golden eye midair.

“Golden Thunder!”

With a loud crack, the golden eye emitted at least ten or more golden thunderbolts, all aimed directly at Coco Dart.

Coco Dart let out a snort. He waved his arm and shook out a black cloth which he placed in front of him, conveniently blocking the thunderbolt right on time. The black cloth was not just blocking the Golden Thunder, it was actually absorbing it like a sponge as if it was absorbing its nutrients.

Both leaders started fighting as the others scrambled into action as well. Instantly, everyone was fighting together. The group of over ten people fighting caused a huge racket in the area, the ground was shaking while shrieks and shouts could be heard all over the place.

Loray was up against an Energy Machinist with a double sword. The both of them were leading a fairly equal fight, their techniques were almost up to par with each other. Unfortunately, the others were not as lucky. Despite the fact that Coco Dart came with a small group, each and every one of them were extremely strong. The weaker ones were those above New-Moon Level resonance, who easily suppressed the men from Nine Owl and Dragon Eye Sect.

“So weak! Are these Northern Yu Province trash really on par with our sect?”

Someone snorted loudly as the broadsword in his hand had countless thin lightning-like blade marks. These blade marks had an incredibly terrifying power which let him easily defeat three of the Nine Owl Sect’s men.

Ah!

Someone from the Dragon Eye Sect fell on to the ground severely injured.

Just like domino tiles, the chain reaction instantly started as the Dragon Eye Sect men started falling one by one.

The crowd was almost fully surrounded in the middle whereas Coco Dart and a few of his men along with their Energy Machines were all in the surrounding.

“I suggest you give us what we want to save trouble. You people from the Northern Yu Province are all talk and no action. Fancy words may come out from your mouths but look at your levels, you all are just embarrassing.”

Coco Dart flung the cloth whip lightly as he spoke.

“We don’t need your opinion on how strong we from the Northern Yu Province are.”

Right at that moment, a beam of golden light flickered above the two crowds. A figure appeared high up in the air, standing straight on top of an enormous blackbird.

The figure was not even glancing at Coco Dart and the others below, but just stared straight ahead into the empty air.

“Come on out, Eastern Gate!”

The instant the crowd consisting the three sects saw the figure, a pleasant surprise was written all over their expressions and they started murmuring among themselves.

Everyone started calling out to Senior Brother Golden Swallow Liu.

Golden Butterfly let out a long breath of relief. Although she maintained an ordinary relationship with Golden Swallow Liu, if he turned out in a situation like this, it meant that he was ready to lend a helping hand.

“Hey,” a black figure emerged from the other side of the sky. It was a fair-skinned strong man seated cross-legged on a black batoid.

“Golden Swallow Liu, long time no see. Are you really helping these brats? Does our previous arrangement still stand?”

“You have done this already, are you really asking whether it still stands?” Golden Swallow Liu replied in an icy tone. “You’re not the only one who knows how to hide your true powers!”

“Oh? You want to fight with me? From what I know, you’re not one to care about whatever junior brothers or sisters, are you?” Eastern Gate grinned evilly. “It’s time to leave the Void Battlefields tomorrow, are you sure you’re up for a fight?”

“I’ve always wanted to test your true capabilities!” Golden Swallow Liu drew out his sword with a cold stare, two unusually sharp white bones shot out from his back.

Both of their energy fields began crashing against each other fiercely midair, causing a loud screeching noise as they brushed against each other. Small sparks sputtered all over the place.

The large crowd below backed away instantly and observed the both of them fight.

“The highest-leveled powerhouses also have arrangements among themselves, they won’t just easily pick a fight, but this time around, Eastern Gate is just too much. Publicly push us around and snatch our middle-leveled disciples’ resources and treasures,” Golden Butterfly spoke softly. “Moreover, he shouldn’t have openly allowed his disciples to look down upon the entire Northern Yu Province. I think that’s the reason Golden Swallow Liu reached out.”

“Exactly, from what we understand about Golden Swallow Liu’s character, he wouldn’t even care if we’re all dead and I’m pretty sure most of you here had been pushed around by him in the past,” the leader of Nine Owl muttered while blood sputtered out of his mouth. “But since the opposite party involved the entire Northern Yu Province, they may have irritated him.”

“We’re leaving the Void Battlefields tomorrow already? Did time pass that fast?” A soft voice spoke up among the others.

Golden Butterfly and a few others were stunned for a bit, they had zero impression of this strangely unfamiliar voice as if someone silently slid between the crowd and spoke up.

Everyone locked their sight right away.

The person who spoke did not mind the attention though. His face was ordinary and his skin was slightly tanned. Just a look at his profile and everyone straight away recognized him. It was Garen who escaped into the Space-Time Print.

“You!” Golden Butterfly was shocked, “You still dare return?!”

“Why wouldn’t I dare to return?” Garen laughed, “Blue Frost Sect might be strong, but once we leave, nothing else will happen anymore.”

“Aren’t you afraid that we’ll surrender you?” Golden Butterfly whispered after a moment of silence.

Nobody expected Garen to be this bold, publicly returning to the group here without the slightest cover up.

“Afraid? Why should I be afraid? All of you should be the one afraid of me. Am I right?” Garen grinned, exposing his white teeth. As his actions and words were natural and unrestrained, his icy tone brought a chill to everyone around.

Indeed, Garen had shown his true capabilities earlier killing a mass of people within a short period of time. Although the quantity below certain levels does indeed offset the quality, human tactics would be able to defeat a powerhouse. However, that was the case if the quantity was sufficient.

“You want us to cover you out of this place?!” One of the Energy Machinists from Nine Owl snorted, “We have a big group over here and you want to drag all of us into this. As a senior brother of Scarlet Snow Sect, do you really have to be this selfish?”

“Cover me? No no no… This isn’t covering me, it’s me holding all of you as hostages.”

Garen laughed once again, slightly rigid this time. He stared right into Golden Butterfly as he knew she was the one who makes all decisions.

“Right now, every single one of you is to listen to my order, if you don’t understand me… You can go die!”

In a flash, a garish red ring shot out and strike the Energy Machinist who spoke just now as swift as a sudden clap of thunder.

Energy field, energy machinery, and noumenon, all layers of defense instantly lost its power.

Puff!

The top half of his body ruptured as blood gushed out all over the ground, his eyes were still wide open as if he had yet figure out what was happening. Just like that, he lied with his eyes opened wide with a grudge on the ground, his corpse laid in two halves.

In a blink of an eye, the red ring shrunk and flew back into Garen’s mouth.

Everyone surrounding him paled with shock. They first thought they would at least have some sort of fellowship as they were from the same origin, but who knew that Garen would just kill anyone who dared to mistime his remarks. He was way more brutal than Coco Dart.

The chain of events thoroughly scared everyone on the spot. Earlier on, they had at least three or four manpower to holdout Coco Dart. But now with one cut in half, the remaining ones who had decent combat power besides Golden Butterfly were just Lonray, two people from the Nine Owl, and the Senior Brother leading Dragon Eye.

“Garen!” Golden Butterfly was naturally a kind-hearted person. After entering the space, she did all she could to aid everyone. Looking at Garen who just simply killed before her eyes, she was beyond angry at his heartlessness.

“Don’t be angry, Senior Sister Golden Butterfly. I already said as hostages, but some people just don’t understand simple instructions.”

Garen still had a slight respect towards Golden Butterfly. It was not just her goodwill in the past that formed a companionship with him because she wanted to shield his good intentions, but it was just his mere admiration for her character.

After all, people like her were as rare as pandas, he was just valuing precious resources.

As for the others, he could just easily let them die.

“Alright, let’s leave while they’re still fighting,” Garen’s voice was soft yet reached everyone. He cast a glance towards Lonray who managed to stay safe and good with his Level-Five powers within a mass of Resonance Levelled ones, this person intrigued him.

A loud boom sounded.

At this moment, Golden Swallow Liu and Eastern Gate started fighting high up in the sky.

The both of them were the strongest here, almost at the peak of Resonance Level. Although they were just casually fighting, the after waves emitted were earth-shattering. Every blow was powerful enough to leave one’s body trembling, like bell drums like violent tremors emitting countless resonance. This was one of the features of Resonance Level, it was able to concentrate one’s entire Energy Machinery’s power as a whole. Once exploded, its lethality could be raised by a couple times instantly.

At this stage, simple Energy Machineries were placed in the Space Equipment to be used as a source of energy for resonance and not usually let out. The more Energy Machineries one had, the more resonance power one was able to withstand, and the more impactful its explosive power after resonating.

As Garen was holding the crowd as hostages and slowly evacuating, he could vaguely see the features of the resonating levels. This was also the path he was going to develop in the future.

However, evacuating this area was their priority now. Whether it was Golden Swallow Liu or the Eastern Gate, they seemed to be extremely occupied. But in actual fact, they were not actually planning to kill one another. It was evident that the both of them were trying to restrain themselves, only releasing the peak of their resonance, but Garen could feel that both of them had released the power of the Inheritance Level.

He could vaguely feel a sense of danger from Eastern Gate which meant that the opposite party was hiding some sort of ability that was a potential threat towards himself.

At times like this, Garen did not wish to bring up unnecessary ramifications.

Since leaving the Space-Time Print, a few days had passed and they had to leave the Void Battlefields. It was best not to stir up any more trouble to avoid attracting the people of Blue Frost Sect’s attention.

He could now see clearly that the Void Battlefields was just a battleground for random killings., power was merely a foundation of everything. They were disciples of a pretty decent sect and they had backups from other sects. As long as they could leave this place, their safety would be guaranteed. On the other hand, Energy Machinists from other ordinary sects were in deep trouble. Even if they managed to acquire the treasure they might not be able to leave the place safely.

He stood in the middle of the crowd with his head bent with a phony sorry figure, swiftly fleeing with the others. Everyone was afraid of him, especially after he killed someone without warning at all.

In addition to the scary behavior he displayed earlier in the Space-Time Print and killing Resonance Level ranks as if he was killing chickens, everyone was even scared of him. They could only help each other out among themselves and listens to all his commands, returning to the station.

“I say, where are you guys heading to?” Coco Dart’s voice suddenly sounded from the back of the small hill in front.

A bunch of people walked out from the back of the small hill, blocking everyone’s path.

“The Thunder Snake Egg,” Coco Dart held out his hand while he let out an icy laugh.
