Chapter 1342: Vicious Spirits of the Mist (Two)

There were only a few pairs of eyes in the beginning before increasing to over ten . They followed close behind Jian Chen and Yadriam and very quickly, remaining silent throughout their journey .

When the pairs of eyes reached over twenty in number, they could no longer resist and attacked Jian Chen and Yadriam . Over twenty thick, hazy tendrils quickly stabbed toward Jian Chen and Yadriam’s heads . They seemed to be completely condensed from mist and seemed to be a part of the surroundings, making it impossible to discover their existence without a close observation of one’s surroundings .

Jian Chen and Yadriam were alerted the moment the pairs of eyes began to attack the two of them . Without even looking back, Jian Chen condensed a silver-white sword Qi on his arm and swung it back, sending a scattering of powerful sword Qi . The tendrils immediately dispersed when they clashed with the sword Qi while the sword Qi continued on toward the eyes without weakening at all .

A sharp cry immediately rang out from behind . The sword Qi had landed on the mist, and a few blurry figures began to flicker inside before dispersing . The figures varied from each other . There were human-shaped ones, beast-shaped ones, and even oddly-shaped ones . Every single one of the figures represented a pair of eyes .

Several of the eyes immediately dispersed .

At the same time, a pulse of surging energy appeared . Yadriam struck out as well . A trident of energy had already condensed in her hand, and she threw it like a javelin . The trident split into two, then four, and then eight, quickly shooting toward the eyes behind them .

The eight tridents seemed to weave together as the powerful energy pulses they gave off caused the mist in the surroundings to violently churn . They easily tore through the tendrils before viciously striking the eyes .

Every single trident possessed deadly precision, each striking a blurry figure in the mist, which was then followed by an ear-piercing howl . The figures that had been struck immediately dispersed .

The eyes seemed to possess a certain level of intelligence . After losing around a dozen companions, they seemed to have understood Jian Chen and Yadriam’s strength . Without any hesitation, they quickly retreated and vanished into the endless mist .

Jian Chen and Yadriam glared in the direction the eyes had disappeared . They frowned, and after a while of thought, Jian Chen said, “What weird things . Not only can they move silently, but they also don’t give off any presence either . I actually failed to sense that there was anything following us . If I hadn’t sensed their sudden attacks, we probably would have been in trouble before we even knew about it .

“Those must be the vicious spirits mentioned by her majesty . They came into existence from the mist . They’re quite hard to deal with, but fortunately they aren’t powerful, which was why we managed to repel them so easily . We have to be careful with our every step in the future . If we come across any emperor level spirits, they’ll be hard to deal with even if we work together,” said Yadriam . She was rather stern .

Jian Chen nodded quietly . Although he possessed the battle prowess of a Saint Emperor right now, he was still not the real deal . Saint Emperors could fall here, and even Origin realm experts needed to move carefully, so he needed to be prepared and remain vigilant at all times .

Yadriam had lost the connection with the Abyssal Bird again . She pulled out the Abyssal Crystal and used a secret technique to summon the Abyssal Bird using the energy within the crystal so that they could continue on their way .

As they moved, Jian Chen and Yadriam constantly encountered sneak attacks from the spirits in the mist, but under their vigilance, they were discovered beforehand and wiped out with lightning-like speed .

However, as they rapidly traveled further into the Sea of Despair, the vicious spirits they came across constantly grew stronger . They now faced Saint King level spirits and would even encounter some at Great Perfection .

They had no idea how many spirits there were in the mist . Jian Chen and Yadriam had already wiped out several thousand, but the number of them did not seem to decrease at all . They also had to adjust their paths constantly due to the distortions of space .

Along the way, they were ambushed by over ten vicious spirits at Great Perfection . The spirits were unable to harm the body . Their attacks only affected the soul, so they suffered . However, Jian Chen was no ordinary person while Yadriam possessed supreme strength, so the soul attacks did not affect them too much .

Suddenly, an ear-piercing scream rang out from ahead . It was extraordinarily unpleasant, containing an attack on the soul .

Jian Chen and Yadriam stopped simultaneously . They sternly stared ahead and remained on guard . Their souls actually wavered slightly because of the scream .

“Be careful . There should be an extremely powerful vicious spirit up ahead, at the level of emperors,” Yadriam said in heavy voice, as if she was about to face a great enemy . Even the sea goddess had said that they were difficult to deal with, so they could not afford to be careless .

Jian Chen became stern as well . He looked around his surroundings and said, “Should we take a detour?”

As soon as Jian Chen finished speaking, the mist up ahead began to churn violently . A white figure gradually appeared before the two of them . It seemed to be completely composed of mist . It was a human-shaped vicious spirit with a long tail . It did not possess facial features, only a pair of extremely bright but foul eyes,

With the appearance of the vicious spirit, many more eyes appeared one after another in the surroundings . There were several dozen pairs of them .

The two of them had been completely surrounded by a group of spirits . Every single one of them was very powerful, the weakest being a Saint King .

“Looks like we can’t make it away anymore,” Jian Chen said rather regretfully . He knew that this battle was now unavoidable .

“I’ll go keep the emperor-level vicious spirit busy . You deal with the others,” Yadriam said heavily before decisively moving out . She charged at the emperor-level spirit and began to engage in a great battle with her trident .

The vicious spirit seemed to possess a tangible body . When it clashed with Yadriam the first time, it actually produced a powerful pulse of energy that caused the surrounding mist to churn violently .

Yadriam shivered inside . She did not gain the upperhand at all from the first clash . She was only on equal ground . However, the vicious spirits did not specialize in open battle but in targeting the souls of people . Open battles were their weaknesses . Yadriam was filled with an unpleasant feeling since their strength was equal in an open clash . She dared not hold back any longer, attacking the vengeful spirit with all she had .

On the other side, Jian Chen began to fight with the surrounding spirits as well . A powerful sword Qi was condensed in his right hand as he flickered through the mist with the Illusory Flash, dispersing the spirits one by one . Since the disparity of strength was just far too great, coupled with the fact that Jian Chen’s sword Qi was condensed from laws, the spirits were helpless against him . They immediately vanished once they were stabbed by the sword Qi .

Seeing how its subordinates were being culled by Jian Chen, the emperor-level spirit seemed to have become furious . It produced an ear-piercing screech and the surrounding spirits all began to charge at Jian Chen as if they had just received some order .

Jian Chen dispersed the spirits in a single stroke before dodging by using the Illusory Flash . However, the spirits were born from the mist, so they were in their natural environment . Thus, they were no slower than Jian Chen, surrounding him once again in the blink of an eye before boldly charging at him .

Jian Chen pushed the defense of his Chaotic Body to its limit and a white glow covered him as well . He was protecting himself with laws .
