Martial God Asura

Chapter 6499: Looks Like We Have Escaped

“What should we do? Are you still going to enter?” Eggy didn’t want to proceed any further.

“We’re already here. Let’s take a look. My heart will feel uneasy if I don’t give it my all,” Chu Feng replied as he ventured into the lair.

The true dragon’s aura was overwhelmingly powerful, but fortunately, it didn’t exert its oppressive might. Otherwise, Chu Feng would have struggled to have taken even a step forward.

Chu Feng proceeded carefully despite having thoroughly concealed himself. He was not confident that his concealment means would work against an expert of this caliber.

Fortunately, after he ventured some distance in, he heard snoring sounds.

The true dragon appeared to be asleep. Chu Feng saw a glimmer of hope.

He ventured further in, and the snores got even louder. Even the lair began to shake.

Some time later, he finally encountered the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness. It was shaped like a dragon and spanned a hundred meters long, but it was a translucent soul entity that emanated a faint light.

It laid in the center of the lair, coiled around a gleaming, golden orb. The orb emanated a powerful dragon aura, and it seemed to harness special powers.

The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness, despite being asleep, would instinctively sniff the orb now and then.

Soon, Chu Feng discovered a pattern.

The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness was slowly growing dimmer, but each time it sniffed the orb, it would regain its brightness.

“While this lair harnesses energy beneficial to the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness, what truly sustains it is that orb. If I steal that orb, I might be able to lure it out of the lair,” Chu Feng said.

“How do you intend to do that? It’s too dangerous to approach it directly,” Eggy asked.

“I’ll use a teleportation formation. I’ll have to construct it in the lair to ensure that the formation takes in the lair’s aura, and I can’t leave until it is activated. This is necessary to avoid the true dragon’s detection,” Chu Feng said as he retreated from where the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness was resting to an area he believed was relatively safer.

To avoid alarming the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness, Chu Feng constructed the teleportation formation inside his body, and he needed to absorb the dragon lair’s aura now and then. This made the process extremely convoluted, so it took him rather long.

Fortunately, he succeeded in constructing the teleportation formation.

Now, he just needed to transfer the teleportation formation onto the orb, leave the dragon lair, and activate the teleportation formation. That should bring the orb out of the lair right away.

So, he returned to where the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness was resting and carefully layered his teleportation formation on the orb. Cold sweat drenched his back. He was extremely nervous.

The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness was simply too powerful. If not for the Divine Deer, he wouldn’t have been able to escape from it at all.

To his relief, everything went well. He successfully enveloped his teleportation formation on the orb.

Without any hesitation, Chu Feng began flitting out of the lair. It would be a success once he stepped out of the lair. It was nerve-wracking as well, but it didn’t take long for the exit to appear within sight.

“It’s done!” Eggy was overjoyed.

The next second, her smile froze in place.

The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness had appeared at the exit. It was no longer asleep but was instead glaring at Chu Feng with a vile sneer.

“Elder,” Chu Feng called the Divine Deer.

But the Divine Deer’s response chilled Chu Feng’s and Eggy’s hearts.

“Oh no, Chu Feng! I’m unable to use my power!”

Meanwhile, Shangguan Fengquan and Sikong Changsheng were spectating the situation from above.

“That true dragon’s fragmented consciousness is still as fond of toying with others as before,” Shangguan Fengquan remarked with a smile.

Sikong Changsheng didn’t utter a word. His conscience felt uneasy, but he tried not to show it. He had known this would happen. The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness always toyed with anyone who stepped into its lair before murdering them.

He felt uneasy bringing about the downfall of someone as talented as Chu Feng.

“Brat, you have quite the means. Looks like you’re a talented world spiritist,” the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness said.

“You were awake all this while?” Chu Feng asked.

“Of course. It has been so long that I almost miss being disturbed. I wanted to play with you a little longer, but you ran faster than I expected.” The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness looked at Chu Feng with a mocking gaze.

“Elder, could there be a misunderstanding?” Chu Feng asked.

“Misunderstanding? You’re attempting to lure me out of my lair. What misunderstanding can there be? I shall use you to replenish my dragon orb’s energy.” The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness unfurled its claw, revealing the orb within.

Not only had the orb removed Chu Feng’s teleportation formation, but it was also emanating an eerie aura.

Now that Chu Feng was getting a closer look at the orb, he saw countless skeletons that had their origin energies siphoned clean.

Weng!

A spirit formation gate opened before Chu Feng, and Eggy stepped out.

She was well aware that she didn’t stand a chance, but she couldn’t turn a blind eye to Chu Feng’s plight. They were already cornered, but she would rather struggle with all her might than to resign to fate.

But as soon as Eggy unleashed her black aura, a surge of spirit power sealed her black aura back in. That plunged her into despair.

But just then, Shangguan Fengquan’s voice echoed from behind, “You don’t need to put your life on the line to deal with that.”

Shangguan Fengquan had unknowingly flitted behind Chu Feng, and while she was speaking, she had already walked forward to stand in front of them.

“Elder?” Chu Feng was surprised.

Shangguan Fengquan had previously instructed him to lure the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness out of the lair, stating that she wouldn’t be able to do anything about it otherwise. The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness was not out of its lair yet.

The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness assessed Shangguan Fengquan.

“Dumb dragon, you don’t recognize me anymore?” Shangguan Fengquan asked with a smile.

“You are... that lass? You’re quite the tenacious one. I’m surprised you’re still alive.” The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness laughed, but its eyes turned increasingly viler and colder. “You were lucky to have gotten away the last time, but I won’t let you escape this time.”

The true dragon opened its mouth and unleashed a breath of golden light at Shangguan Fengquan, Chu Feng, and Eggy. However, the breath of golden light was deflected by an invisible barrier.

It was Shangguan Fengquan’s doing.

Shangguan Fengquan changed her hand seal. Chains rose from the ground and coiled around the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness. These chains were extremely strong, so much so that they distorted the other party’s body.

It looked as if the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness would be ripped apart from the sheer force.

“Hahahahaha...” The true dragon’s fragmented consciousness burst into laughter. “Lass, you have improved, but have you forgotten that I’m invincible in this lair?”

The lair emanated a brilliant golden glow, significantly amplifying the strength of the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness. Its twisted body recovered to normal, and its physique began to enlarge.

The chains wrapped around it creaked. It was only a matter of time before they shattered.

“Dumb dragon. Even if I can’t defeat you, I can always flee.” Shangguan Fengquan took out a golden talisman paper and set it ablaze. The golden talisman paper transformed into a surge of golden teleportation energy that enveloped her, Chu Feng, and Eggy.

But at the same time, tremendous martial power sealed off the lair.

“Trying to escape? Do you think you can get away?” the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness replied confidently.

What happened next left the true dragon’s fragmented consciousness dazed.

The teleportation energy worked as per intended. Shangguan Fengquan, Chu Feng, and Eggy appeared outside the lair.

“Looks like we have escaped,” Shangguan Fengquan replied with a smirk.
