191: Chapter 191: Escaping a Calamity Because He Didn't Return to the Team

"Heh... stubborn!"

Overlord Tiger knew it was no match for the Human Race in a battle of words, so it chose to act immediately.

It simply raised a claw and gave a light swipe.

Inside the light barrier, space distorted once again.

An invisible force forcibly separated the members of the Monster Hunting Team and the Loose Cultivators.

Some were flung to the east, some to the west, and others were isolated individually in small pockets of space.

Captain Zhao wanted to stop it, but it was already too late.

He understood that Overlord Tiger wanted to distract him while also preventing him from forcibly breaking through the barrier to send people out to report the news.

"Everyone, stay calm."

"I will find a way to get you out."

Captain Zhao shouted and immediately pulled a compass from his robes.

The other Yao Kings stood ready.

Meanwhile, the scattered crowd...

Old Liu roared, the dark red spiritual light on his blood-drinking blade surging as he slashed at the light barrier.

The saber light was like a blood-red rainbow, crashing into the barrier; it trembled violently but only rippled before returning to normal.

Old Liu's face turned ashen: "There's something strange about this barrier; my Saber Qi was absorbed!"

Several Loose Cultivators ran around in panic.

A young female cultivator was isolated alone, surrounded by countless Yao Beasts.

"Kill!"

Nearby, a middle-aged Loose Cultivator summoned a Flame Flag, which unfurled into a sea of fire.

At the same time, almost all the separated humans were surrounded by Yao Beasts.

Li Changsheng and Su Qinghan were also separated.

Li Changsheng was trapped in a small space ten zhang wide, surrounded by a black light barrier within arm's reach.

He raised his hand, and clear Qi transformed into a strand of Sword Qi that pierced toward the barrier.

The Sword Qi hit the barrier with a crisp sound, but the barrier didn't budge.

He frowned and fully activated his Innate Dao Embryo, turning clear Qi into countless tiny strands of Sword Qi that bombarded the barrier like a rainstorm.

The barrier rippled but still did not break.

Su Qinghan was trapped in another small space.

The long sword in her hand unsheathed, and the cold air of the Mystic Yin Returning Essence Body instantly erupted.

The cold air condensed into a massive ice spike that slammed heavily against the light barrier.

A thin layer of ice formed on the barrier, but after the ice shattered, the barrier remained intact.

She frowned slightly and did not continue her attack.

Seeing this, Captain Zhao knew he couldn't wait any longer.

He immediately stood in mid-air, a golden spiritual light erupting from his body.

"Domain: Iron-Blood Great Wall!"

He formed hand seals, and a golden light barrier erupted with him at the center, enveloping the three Yao Kings.

Phantoms of city walls appeared on the barrier, taking the form of the Sword Qi Great Wall.

The walls were covered in saber scars and sword holes, mottled and ancient, each mark radiating a Sword Intent that had lasted for ten thousand years.

Between the walls, Iron-Blood Battle Flags fluttered, embroidered with the two large characters for 'Demon Suppression.'

Overlord Tiger was pulled into the Domain and gave a cold snort.

"A trapped beast still fighting."

It raised its claw and struck the barrier.

Golden flames burned on its claw, distorting the space it passed through.

The light barrier shook violently, but the city wall phantom condensed into a massive shield, blocking the strike.

Captain Zhao's face remained calm, but he knew he couldn't hold out for long.

The three Yao Kings were all in the same Realm as him.

By forcibly pulling three Void Refinement Stage Yao Kings into his Domain alone, he could only temporarily suppress them using the Domain's advantage.

Captain Zhao gritted his teeth and took a blood-colored Medicinal Pill from his robes, swallowing it.

As the pill entered his stomach, a violent power exploded within his body.

His aura instantly surged.

Captain Zhao raised his hand, and the city wall phantoms in the Domain condensed into a massive golden shield; the words 'Demon Suppression' appeared on it, radiating blinding golden light.

"Suppress!"

In an instant, countless small golden swords condensed out of thin air and shot toward the three Yao Kings like a rainstorm.

Overlord Tiger snorted coldly and charged forward instead of retreating, crushing a cluster of small swords with a single claw.

But there were too many small swords, coming in an endless stream; some struck its body, leaving tiny white marks on its golden scales.

"Old Man Zhao, is this all you've got?"

Overlord Tiger mocked.

Captain Zhao didn't answer, simply taking a deep breath and forming hand seals again.

The Sword Qi Great Wall phantoms within the Domain began to rotate, transforming into a hundred-zhang-long golden giant sword.

A thick Sword Intent flowed over the giant sword.

"Sword Intent: Great Wall Slash!"

The giant sword slashed down heavily, aimed straight at Overlord Tiger.

Wherever the sword edge passed, a black rift was torn into the space.

"White Tiger Transformation!"

Overlord Tiger's expression changed slightly, and it immediately used its innate Divine Ability to block.

After a violent collision...

A bloodstain deep enough to see the bone appeared on Overlord Tiger's claw, and blood dripped down.

It let out a muffled groan and retreated several steps.

Seeing this, Netherworld Python and Frost Wolf King acted simultaneously.

Netherworld Python opened its massive maw and spat out a cloud of black poisonous mist.

The mist contained the Netherworld Law, corroding the space it passed into black holes.

Frost Wolf King howled at the sky, and countless ice spikes fell from the air.

Each ice spike contained the Frost Law, sharp as a spear and bone-chillingly cold.

Captain Zhao did not stop, and the Sword Qi Great Wall phantoms in the Domain condensed again, turning into countless small golden swords to meet the poisonous mist and ice spikes.

This scene was practically light pollution.

Fighting one against three, Captain Zhao surprisingly did not fall behind.

Outside the Domain but inside the light barrier, the members of the Monster Hunting Team and the Loose Cultivators were being slaughtered by the Yao Kings' subordinates.

Although Netherworld Python and Frost Wolf King were pulled into the Domain, their Yao power still influenced the interior of the light barrier.

Countless low-level Yao Race creatures crawled out from underground, dense and numerous, surging toward the crowd like a tide.

Old Liu slashed a Nascent Soul Stage venomous scorpion to death, the dark red spiritual light on his blood-drinking blade surging.

The Saber Qi transformed into a blood dragon, grinding three nearby Yao Beasts into shredded meat.

He gasped for breath, with only two team members who had regrouped by his side; everyone else had been scattered.

"Hold on! The Captain is buying time for us!"

Elsewhere, several Loose Cultivators were surrounded by a group of Yao Beasts.

A middle-aged Loose Cultivator summoned a bronze mirror, which shot a golden beam that blasted a Yao Beast into pieces.

But there were too many Yao Beasts, and his spiritual power was failing; the mirror's light grew dimmer and dimmer.

A Yao Beast took the opportunity to pounce, biting into his shoulder.

He screamed in pain, and the bronze mirror fell from his hand.

A nearby Loose Cultivator hurried to slash the Yao Beast to death, but he was also heavily injured.

This scene was playing out everywhere.

Li Changsheng was trapped in the small space, unable to get out.

He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes to regulate his breathing.

Through the Soul link, he sent a message to Xiao Ran.

"Xiao Ran, we're trapped. Three Void Refinement Stage beings have attacked together."

At this moment, Xiao Ran was rushing back, and his heart jolted at the news.

"What? Where are you?"

Li Changsheng said: "Still in the Grey Stone Wasteland, almost at the Death Line. Do not come over, it's very dangerous!"

Xiao Ran stopped in his tracks.

He looked up at the distant sky, where a black light barrier was faintly visible, flickering in the sunlight.

He gritted his teeth and accelerated.

Su Qinghan was trapped in another small space.

Her sword lay across her knees, a thin layer of frost condensed on the blade.

She was waiting, waiting for a flaw to appear in the barrier.

...

At this time, outside the light barrier.

A grey-robed figure was running frantically.

It was Xiao Ran.

He hadn't been trapped; the Yao King's Domain hadn't covered him.

At the same time, he didn't listen to Li Changsheng's words and instead circled back to the vicinity of the Domain.

Xiao Ran ran a circle around the light barrier and found it was a massive sphere, enveloping dozens of miles.

Eerie runes flowed over the barrier, radiating a suffocating aura.
