Chapter 364 What To Do? Crimson thunderclouds churned above the valley. In the next instant, red thunderbolts filled with the scent of destruction howled forth, raining down on the Blood Slaughterer Peak disciples below.
Moreover, the fire seemed to burn around the thunderbolts.
In the face of the boundary's power, even Umor's expression had become solemn, his eyes filled with caution.
Several powerful and thick streams of spiritual energy shot out from Umor, Denise and the rest, forming layers of protective spiritual energy barriers. Evidently, they planned on working together in order to withstand the attacks from the boundary.
~BOOOM~
The bombardment of burning thunderbolts began, blowing apart the spiritual energy shields one layer after another like a hot knife through butter.
As each layer was shattered, Umor and his crew desperately squeezed out all their energy to continuously repair the shields in order to maintain their defences...
~BOOM BOOM~action
As Umor and gang defended, crimson bolts continued to fall from the crimson clouds above.
The entire valley was devastated by the resulting shockwaves. The ground was rapidly torn apart, as numerous boulders evaporated into dust.
The prince sat on a boulder with a look of indifference on his face, his bracelet glowed and a tea kettle and a cup came out. "The view is too great to not have a tea." The prince loudly said as he poured the tea into the cup.He took a sip and shut his eyes, while the spiritual energy around his head continuously flickered. Controlling a boundary of this level took an extremely heavy toll on his soul. That tea was made from special ingredients, which temporarily boosted his senses.
Outside the valley, countless gazes unblinkingly watched the astonishing clash.
As they watched, complicated feelings rose within their hearts. Who could have imagined that the top elite gold belt disciples of Blood Slaughterer Peak would wind up in such a sorry state, singlehandedly trapped by Ezra in this valley and assaulted by a heavy barrage of attacks.
They turned to look at that young figure atop the boulder, their eyes were filled with caution and respect.
Before today, many of them had regarded Ezra as a new disciple who had just entered the outer mountains. Even though he had some accomplishments under his belt, most believed that he was still lacking compared to the veteran disciples, and they did not consider him as a serious threat. In fact, after his performance at Alchemic Rune Peak, many people started to degrade his reputation out of nothing but hatred, which inevitability downplayed his accomplishments.
However, Ezra was currently facing the most outstanding gold belt disciples of Blood Slaughterer Peak all by himself, a feat that finally made everyone feel slightly in awe of him.
This new outer mountain disciple had already become powerful that he now possessed the qualifications to challenge and even surpass the senior disciples.
~BOOOM BOOM~
The crimson clouds churned violently as they absorbed spiritual energy from their surroundings, transforming it into an endless shower of crimson lightning.
Inside the valley, Umor and gang bitterly hung on inside the layers of shields.
However, it was clear that the scales were slowly by surely tipping against them.
"Since the boundary is able to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy, the ones who run out of stamina first will be us!" Said Umor in a heavy voice, the smile on his face had vanished long ago.
The other disciples asked in a panic, "What should we do?"Umor stared at the crimson clouds in the sky as he said, "It is meaningless for us to focus on defence. We must go on the offence instead. Only by destroying the clouds will the boundary naturally crumble!
We must prepare our strongest attack and destroy the clouds! But once we disperse our defences, how will we protect ourselves against the crimson bolts?"
Beside him, Denise gritted her teeth as she retrieved a long white glowing glass ball. The glowing ball was covered in ancient runes and looked as if an entire sea had been poured into it.
"Senior brother Umor, this Holy Water Pearl armament of mine specializes in defence, and should be able to buy us some time."
Umor's eyes lit up when he saw this. The Holy Water Pearl was a defensive spiritual treasure and could be found in the Glittering Jewels Pavillion. However, it was not cheap, and cost at least 3000 pieces of spirit jades.
Nonetheless, most diamond belt disciples will try their best to purchase one before going out on missions. He never expected Denise to possess one as well, being an offspring of a rich family has its own perks.
"Then we'll have to trouble junior sister."
Denise shook her head, as she stared at Ezra and said, "It's no trouble at all. I do not want to become his stepping stone and help grow his fame."
Initially, she thought that she could finally kill Ezra to avenge his brother and relieve the pent-up resentment in her heart. However, the situation was now completely out of her expectations. In fact, a single slip was all it would take for them to end up dying and boosting Ezra's fame via their Blood Slaughterer Peak's reputation. This would be an extremely painful and humiliating death for them.
If they somehow manage to live, none of them would be able to escape punishment.
Angst rose within Denise's heart the moment she recalled their peak master's character. She knew that the stakes were already too high, and there was no way they could allow themselves to be defeated by Ezra.
With these thoughts in mind, Denise gently flicked her wrist. The Holy Water Pearl promptly transformed into a glowing dot as it rose into the sky. In an instant, a screen of sea-like water spread, wrapping around them like a capsule.
Glowing runes appeared on the water, pulsing with powerful spiritual energy.
~BOOM BOOM~
Thunderbolts bombarded the water shield, stirring violent ripples on it. However, the attacks were ultimately neutralized by the water shield.
As more and more crimson bolts rained down, the water shield began to grow thinner and thinner.
