Way of the Devil - Chapter 695

Chapter 695: 695

There were more than 200 passengers on board the flying ship . They were all from the Prime Devil Sect and the Lu Family . Many of them were mortals who were powerless to protect themselves .

“That’s good to hear…” Anza nodded slightly .

The flying ship appeared to be flying slowly, but it was actually moving at an incredible speed . It completely passed through the first line of defense in no time .

When Anza saw this, she immediately tensed up, and reminded Mi Guangying through voice projection, “Take a look at the black lines around you . Those semi-transparent black lines which are sometimes difficult to distinguish are the swimming fishes deployed by the Mother of Pain . Once you’re touched by any of them, the Mother of Pain will be instantly alerted to your presence!”

The flying ship slowed down . However, it maintained a steady course toward the distant stars .

However, before they noticed it, a black network which completely shifted its shape had appeared around them . These nets were extended by black flying ships which sped in all directions . From a distance, they resembled black swimming fishes because of their high speed .

“To the left, 32 degrees! Look out! Accelerate forward!” the old gentleman barked out orders .

“Roger!”

Mi Guangying maneuvered the flying ship and evaded a dozen black flying fishes .

“Look out on the right! Here comes a school!” Anza alerted her .

“I see it! Take this!” Mi Guangying turned the flying ship left and made it dive . Their ship easily evaded the incoming school of black fish .

“Swoosh!”

The flying ship passed through three batches of black flying fish security nets .

The nets became more constricted the further out they were . At the same time, the thickness of the black swimming fish nets was thinning with time as well .

If someone looked in their direction from the stars beyond, they would see that the black flying ship had already reached the surface layer of the thick gauze-like black swimming fish net . If it made it through two more layers, it would be completely out of the Yellow Springs Galaxy, and free from danger .

In no time, the flying ship silently passed through a layer of black swimming fish net . The final layer was all that was left .

“It’s the final layer now . Be careful, you two!” Mi Guangying wiped away the cold sweat from her forehead and sighed slowly . The high-speed evasive maneuvers she had just pulled off were mentally taxing even for her .

She had to constantly keep her eye on the trajectories of the black swimming fishes and predict their next possible moves .

She also had to look out for the instances that they suddenly changed directions .

“Don’t worry . We’ll take this final layer slowly . This layer is much denser than the other layers before this! However, once we get through this, we’ll be completely free!” Anza exclaimed .

The old gentleman did not say anything . He clenched his fists . A complicated Divine Vein between his brows pulsed with pitch-black radiance .

“Swoosh!”

On the final layer of the black web, four schools of swimming fishes approached them from all directions . The speed at which they moved was only slightly slower than the flying ship’s .

“Accelerate! Accelerate!” Anza shouted .

Mi Guangying gripped the controller tightly . She put her weight on it so that it would not shoot up .

Formless energy flows shot out from the sides of the flying ship, propelling it forward at an increasing speed .

As time passed, the distance between the flying ship and the black flying fishes got smaller and smaller .

“Boom!”

Suddenly, the flying ship shook . The black flying fishes were clearly still some ways away, but it seemed to have collided against something .

“Oh no!” Anza’s expression changed drastically . She immediately saw the flying fishes before herself stop and shoot toward them .

“There’s a dark web! Sh*t!”

The Mother of Pain had set up a layer of invisible black web before the final layer of black flying fish web .

She directed everyone’s attention onto the high difficulty of the final black web layer’s density . In truth, she had already laid down the dark web before the final layer as a trump card, and this caught them off-guard .

The flying ship shook violently . The two transparent tail flames seemed to have been disrupted as it hissed and coughed .

“We cannot stop here! Do it! Charge!” Mi Guangying’s expression steeled . The crystal pane of the cockpit was lifted, and she charged out of the flying ship .

“Clang!”

A flying fish shoot toward her on a collision course . With a lightning-speed slash of her saber, the flying fish was split in two . The two sides shot past her and exploded .

The scarlet balls of flames and the sound of the explosion attracted even more black swimming fishes, which swarmed toward their position in a frenzy .

“Go!”

Anza swung her right hand . Countless black Devil Qi surged out . A colossal black dragon that was 1000 meters in height emerged from among the Devil Qi .

“I’m counting on you, Gela!” Anza shouted .

“Leave it to me . ” The black dragon dragged its long serpentine body and crashed mercilessly into the dense school of black swimming fish .

Its black dragon horns crushed everything in their path . In an instant, a dozen swimming fishes were destroyed .

However, the black swimming fishes immediately launched their counterattacks . Black light bullets exploded on the black dragon’s body .

Its dragon scales slowly cracked from all the impacts, and its blood started to trickle out .

The black dragon roared in pain . It spewed golden dragon fire from its mouth and swept it across . Dozens of swimming fishes were destroyed .

However, that was all it managed to do . More black swimming fishes swarmed over . The black dragon Gela only managed to struggle for a moment before it was completely submerged in the swimming fishes . Soon enough, no sounds from it could be heard anymore, and it crumbled into countless puffs of Devil Qi .

“Puh!”

Blood rose in Anza’s throat .

“My summoned beast has been killed . There’s too many of them!”

At this moment, the flying ship had managed to break through the black swimming fish net . However, it could not shake off the swimming fishes that were tailing it .

“It’s alright! It’s alright! We’re almost at the rendezvous point!” Mi Guangying said anxiously . She held onto the flying ship with one arm while she brandished her black saber with the other and destroyed an incoming swimming fish .

She knew that the passengers on the flying ship were all Lu Sheng’s kin and trusted people . If anything happened to them, she would not have the face to face him .

The flying ship slowly picked up speed . Fortunately, it was slightly faster than the black swimming fishes behind it .

As time passed, the flying ship put more and more distance between itself and the flying fishes . This made the three of them sigh with relief .

“We should be almost—”

“Rumble!”

Suddenly, there was a loud sound . The entire flying ship suddenly rolled backward as if it had been rammed by some colossal object .

Mi Guangying and the others tried hard to steady the flying ship . However, the impact was too huge . Even with the three of them working together, they could only manage to reduce the pace at which they rolled slightly .

The tail of the flying ship broke away from the impact . About a fifth of the ship was broken off from the collision, and the parts rolled toward the depths of space .

“Sh*t! It’s the space-time undercurrent!” Mi Guangying cursed through gritted teeth .

She did not expect to run into a space-time undercurrent at this crucial moment .

“No! This isn’t a coincidence! The Mother of Pain has the ability to influence the space-time undercurrent . She must be the one laying down this secret line of defense!” shouted the old gentleman .

“Please think of a way! Otherwise, we’ll all be pulled into the space-time vortex!” Anza screamed .

If they were pulled into a space-time undercurrent without making a space-time beacon beforehand, they could kiss seeing the Heavenly Devil World again goodbye .

The flying ship rolled wildly in 360 degrees . The three of them did all they could to maintain the ship’s balance . Unfortunately, the undercurrent’s force was too powerful . They merely managed to slow the ship’s speed by a little .

Somewhere dark among the stars .

A huge pitch-black figure with only one eye looked at the receding shape of the flying ship . It raised an arm which suddenly extended over a long distance, and slammed its hand into the side of the flying ship .

“Boom!”

Its palm was of similar size to the flying ship . With this palm strike, the flying ship shattered and broke on the spot .

Another chunk of the flying ship exploded again, and turned into a scarlet ball of flames .

Mi Guangying shouted furiously . She concentrated all her power into black lightning, and equipped it on the blade of her black saber .

“Limitless Heavenly Soul Slash! You’re just a specter, die!”

“Pchht!”

A 100-meter-long blade burst forth from the black saber . The back of the blade shone with faint silver radiance . It was as if the black and silver lines were overlaid on top of each other as they slashed onto the huge palm .

“Dong!”

It was as if the blade was not cutting on flesh .

The palm was unscathed . However, Mi Guangying used the reaction force to propel the flying ship forward and away from the Yellow Springs Galaxy .

“Go… Inform Lu Sheng, quick… use my… origin stone!” After Mi Guangying spoke her final sentence, blood gushed forth from her throat into her mouth . She fell backward and lost consciousness .

Anza and the old gentleman quickly caught her . They combined their powers and managed to produce a Confusion Realm-tier strength which they used to fly the flying ship away from this place .

“A meeting gift, hope you’ll like it…” The giant single-eye woman looked in the direction in which the flying ship left . She smiled silently .

“The flying ship was destroyed… and Ning’er is missing!?”

Lu Sheng opened his eyes slowly and stared at the hovering origin stone before himself .

“Yes… Just when we were about to leave, we were so close, too! We suddenly encountered a specter that broke the flying ship with a single palm strike… The Prime Devil Sect… Half of its members lost their lives . One-third of the people from Lu Manor died as well… We… We… really…”

Lu Sheng’s expression remained unchanged . He listened to the sobbing voice which was transmitted through the origin stone .

“Tell me your coordinates,” he suddenly interrupted the speaker .

“…We’re 50 light-years away from the West Sutra Planet . There’s an asteroid belt nearby… Also… there’s a solar system with two suns!”

“Got it… Someone will pick you up soon,” said Lu Sheng calmly .

“Al… Alright…”

The communication using the origin stone was slowly deactivated .

Lu Sheng sat on the spot silently . He looked up at the stars scattered across the skies .

“Tell me, Toram . Why do some people not understand the preciousness of life? Why don’t they understand how wonderful it is to live?” he asked softly .

Toram Bach was silent for a moment .

“Maybe… it’s because of pain?”

“Pain?” Lu Sheng lowered his head to look at her .

“Yes… Only those who find living more painful than death will seek a way out,” Toram spoke softly .

“Is that so?” Lu Sheng got to his feet slowly .

“I was planning to retire and live out my days on a nice planet . I’d fill my time with bringing up my kids and spending time with my wife . Alas… why… why must there always be someone who forces me to…”

Lu Sheng took a step forward . Surprisingly, he was stepping onto thin air . It was as if he was going up a flight of invisible stairs into the skies .

The pure white diamond-shaped crystal slowly appeared behind him .

“Pchht!”

Instantly, the crystal extended its branch-like black tendrils, which spread out in all directions .

In an instant, the branches covered a distance of 1000 meters .

The skies gradually darkened .

There was a loud rumble .

Lu Sheng vanished in the blink of an eye .

The sirens blared . In the skies above the city, the people could vaguely make out the figure of an immense black crane flying toward the starry skies . In the blink of an eye, it vanished beyond the city’s protective barrier .
