Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 235: Right On The Boarders

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami forcefully dragged their hands through the snowy grounds, slowly stopping their violent momentum. Blood was pooling out of their hands as they gradually came to a screeching stop. 

"Haah.." 

Deep heavy breaths leaked from the trio's mouths while a mix of crimson blood dripped down their chins. Disgusting bile kept on rising in their mouths, and their chests were continually heaving.

"To think.getting the drop on us would be this terrible for us." Masami mirth with a slight smirk curving her lips even as she was experiencing tremendous pain. She was kneeling on the ground, trying her very best to keep up her bloodline state.

"Haaah. I'll give Mages this; the more I see from them, the more unpredictable they are." Darcel spoke with genuine respect filling his tone. 

Out of all the foes they fought, these Arch Raven Mages caused them serious injuries twice. Even when they clashed with phantom Golden Crow Spirit, they didn't get as injured as they are now. 

Darcel violently clenched his right palm, desperately trying to keep his bloodline state up as well.

"I'm questioning if this may be our greatest challenge here." Aniela wonders out loud, being in the same kneeling position as Darcel and Aniela. 

Given that they already fought with the strongest Mercenary group and Mages whose powers even slightly topple than the Crow Leaders, Aniela legitimately thought nothing else could top this,

Since they began kneeling on the snowy ground, only a mere two second pass. 

Yet, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami could only half keep up their bloodline state now. Their bloodline auras was flickering in and out of existence, threatening to vanish from their bodies.

They tried as hard as they could to keep it up, but that explosion was far too powerful.

With their powers rapidly slipping away, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami realize they need to end this now. Their Spirit Sense spread to their air, and their eyes shot up to the skies. 

Some satisfaction filled their bodies from what their senses picked and what their eyes saw. 

Arch Raven Kai and Lydia were wobbling while hovering in their air as a constant pool of blood drained out of their bodies.

Their gazes were directly locked onto Darcel's group even from a mile high in the skies. Immense Killing Intent flickered in their eyes, but they didn't take any brazen action yet. 

At this point, the Arch Raven Mages were hanging on by a thread.

The immense pain filling both Arch Raven Kai and Lydia's bodies served as a continuous brutal reminder that they kind of brought themselves in this position. 

Because the Arch Raven Mages believed the trio couldn't escape, they didn't take the perfect opportunity they had to wipe them from existence.

And because of it, Arch Raven Noah died without even a corpse to be left behind. His death will be a tremendous blow to the whole Raven Mage Order group and something that will take years to replace.

Moreover, Arch Raven Kai and Lydian weren't even sure they would survive after this. 

Their black Magic crystal exploding fried nearly all of their Magical Veins. And Darcel and Aniela's combined Martial Skills only hasten their injuries.

Arch Raven Kai and Lydia predicted that just in several minutes or so, they might entirely lose consciousness. And the reason for their death would be because of those three unknown yet powerful youths.

"Lydia.those three still have enough energy to kill us in our current state." Suddenly Arch Raven Kai began to talk. 

With each word he spat out, there was a heavy lace of hatred filling his voice.

Arch Raven Lydia didn't take her eyes from Darcel's group, but she felt the same amount of overflowing hatred. To have their lives end at the hands of cultivation dogs is the greatest shame to any Mages!

Arch Raven Kai continued to talk after taking a short moment of breath, knowing precisely what Lydia was thinking. "So if we're going to die. let's drag them down to hell with us!!" 

"If we're dying, then those dogs will die with us!" Arch Lydia instantly agreed without a second thought. 

At the same time, their Killing Intent climbed to their peaks as they also began burning whatever left of their blood essence! 

'Chi!' 

Arch Raven Kai and Lydia's aura suddenly exploded out for miles from them combusting their blood essence!

Immediately the Darkness glow that was shrouding their bodies formed right back around them, drowning them in a sea of Darkness once again. 

At the same time, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami went rigid as Arch Raven Kai and Lydia's blood essence aura crushed down on them.

"Shit! They actually want to drag us all underground!" Masami violently cursed. The pressure smashing on to her was giving her a genuine sense of imminent death. 

Darcel and Aniela were struggling under the same deadly pressure, their minds trying to come up with any way to escape. 

Their bodies were tightly locked by Arch Raven Kai and Lydia's blood essence aura, essentially making it nearly impossible to dodge whatever attack they had brewing up.

The only option Darcel, Aniela, and Masami could think of was following the footsteps of the Arch Raven Mages and combust their own blood essence. 

But the consequences of doing so will affect their lives for a long time.

In the split second the trio was about to come to a decision and throw all caution into the wind; Arch Raven Kai and Lydia's blood essence aura reached its peak! 

They both strut their palms forward, and a massive swirl of Darkness Magical energy swiftly formed there. After this attack, they both will surely die. 

But the Arch Raven Mages didn't care in the slightest. 

"DI-"

'Hua!!' 

But before either Arch Raven Mages could even finish their battle cry, an unfathomable aura blasted in the whole area! 

The Arch Raven Mages and Darcel's group all utterly froze.

Neither side couldn't move at all as this sudden powerful aura suppressed their entire being; immense dread filled everyone's mind. 

The power that was suppressing them, Darcel, Aniela, Masami, and the Arch Raven Mages, all identified what exactly it was.

It was the genuine power of a Heavenly Sage monster! 

And this Heavenly Sage monster was thousands of times stronger than the phantom Golden Crow Spirit. Darcel was sure even if he and the girls were at full power, they would die within seconds to this beast.

Right then, everyone heard a booming, powerful voice drill into the ears. 

"Humans!!" 

'BANG!!' 

The blue glowing cave that was forgotten had suddenly burst open, unleashing that tremendous Heavenly Sage aura!

The whole snowy maze forest violently quaked for thousands of miles, causing several feet wide fissures to split open the ground. Numerous tears in spatial space appeared around the general area from the overwhelming might of a Heavenly Sage powerhouse.

Darcel, Aniela, Masami, and the Arch Raven Mages could only move their eyes far above them to see who was radiating this unfathomable power. 

And all of them were shot with awe by what had appeared.

This beast was at least over sixty feet wide, covering a vast part of the sky and being even wider than the phantom Golden Crow Spirit. A more profound majestic aura and noble grace exuded from this beast. It was better than what the phantom Golden Crow Spirit could ever achieve.

There also is a profound chilling ice blue glow that wraps around the beast's entire body, accentuating its majestic presence. 

What had appeared before them was a vast Ice Qilin Beast! 

The Grand Sage Ice Qilin Beast immediately peered its gaze down at the Arch Raven Mages. Its eyes narrowed as it sensed them holding the greatest power among the humans here.

Arch Raven Kai and Lydia couldn't stop fear from shaking their mind. By their Magical Senses, they perceived the Ice Qilin Beast to actually be at the fourth level of the Heavenly Sage Realm!

Even if Arch Raven Noah here and they all were at full power, the Arch Raven Mages know that wouldn't make the slightest bit of difference. 

Though both Arch Raven Kai and Lydia were prepared to die, facing a being that could kill them in a snap was frightening no matter the state they are in.

"El-Elder Grand Sa-" Arch Raven Kai couldn't finish his sentence when on the Ice Qilin Beast's massive horn, a bright blue glow flared at the tip. 

In the same instance the brilliant blue glow appeared, two ice beams shot from the tip of the horn, which instantly tore right through Arch Raven Kai and Lydia's hearts!

Arch Raven Kai and Lydia immediately died on the spot, their expressions still contorted from fear even after death. 

With those pitiful humans dead, the Ice Qilin Beast turned its sight on Darcel's group.

For a split second, a strange light entered its eyes. Compared to the black robe humans, the Ice Qilin Beast sensed something odd about Darcel's group. 

But no matter how peculiar Darcel's group was, it didn't change the Ice Qilin Beast's mind on killing them. The same bright blue glow began to appear at the tip of its vast horn once again. 

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami's pupils all heavily dilated. They all were absolutely helpless against the power of a fourth-level Heavenly Sage powerhouse.

Numerous emotions and feelings exploded in their minds all at once. Darcel, Aniela, and Masami couldn't describe what they were feeling. All they could realize is that they really will die here without even a chance to resist.

Everything in their life that led them to this moment was about to end in the most swiftest and pitiful way. 

But right then, in the very split second the Ice Qilin Beast was about to fire its ice beam and kill Darcel, Aniela, and Masami; the beast had utterly froze.

The bright blue glow at the tip of its vast horn immediately vanished along with its Heavenly Sage aura. 

"....The hell??" Darcel, Aniela, and Masami simultaneously spoke as they wearily stood up.

And right then, the Ice Qilin Beast's eyes turned into a complete chilling yellow hue.
