Chapter 1913: Chapter 1910: Encounter with the Angel Race

In the Ghostly Ruins, there is a peculiar Power of Laws that suppresses Ling Feng and his companions’ strength to less than one-tenth of their original capacity, and they cannot fly. They can only walk step by step, against the flow of the water.

After several hours of walking, still unable to exit the mountain range, the Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace suggested, "Let’s rest for a while, and then continue forward later!"

Although the Lord of the Heavenly Fire Palace had recovered quite a bit of his strength, the side effects of the Burst Yuan Pill were still present, and the long journey had indeed taken a toll on his body.

"Then let’s take a break!" said Ling Feng as he headed towards the river.

Suddenly, a beetle-sized insect flew out from the side, aiming towards Ling Feng.

At first, Ling Feng didn’t pay attention, but when the insect was less than half a meter away, it suddenly unleashed a sinister aura, charging at Ling Feng.

Startled, Ling Feng quickly struck at the insect with a palm, but the powerful palm wind could not knock it away. The insect seemed untouched, still swiftly lunging towards Ling Feng.

"Die!" Without hesitation, Ling Feng summoned the Mo Yu Sword, slicing the insect, which burst into a blood mist mid-air, emitting a pungent, strange odor.

A wave of discomfort surged in Ling Feng’s mind, and he shook his head, circulating the Dragon God’s Aura throughout his body to dispel the feeling.

"Ling Feng, what happened?" The incident occurred so suddenly that the four Hall Masters hadn’t noticed what transpired, and everything was over before they knew it.

Ling Feng explained what had just happened to the four Hall Masters, whose expressions grew grave: "If Ling Feng’s description is accurate, you must have encountered a Blood Locust!"

"Blood Locust?" Ling Feng frowned.

Lord Hei Shan said solemnly, "Indeed, this Blood Locust is unique to the Ghostly Ruins. They usually hide in the grass, attacking when creatures pass by. They are almost immune to Law attacks, and only physical attacks can repel them!"

"Are they formidable?" Ling Feng asked.

Lord Hei Shan explained, "Blood Locusts feed on blood, but their saliva is highly toxic. There have been cases where a master in the Later Stage of the Firmament Realm encountered a swarm of Blood Locusts and was reduced to a skeleton in an instant!"

Hiss! Ling Feng gasped. Could the Blood Locust swarm be like a swarm of locusts on Earth, leaving nothing in their wake?

"However, the threat of a single Blood Locust isn’t significant, so there’s no need to worry about that!" Lord Hei Shan, noticing Ling Feng’s serious expression, said with a smile.

"Lord Hei Shan is right, but in the Ghostly Ruins, Blood Locusts are the most common Poisonous Insects. Many other dangers are lying hidden, some unknown to us. If we’re careless and fall into danger, it could be life-threatening!" Lord of the Purple Sun Palace said seriously: "So, we must proceed with utmost caution."

Ling Feng nodded slowly. Although he had been vigilant before, this Ghostly Ruins somehow made him lower his guard instinctively, and the appearance of the Blood Locust served as a wake-up call to him.

Indeed, this Ghostly Ruins is not as tranquil and harmonious as it appears on the surface!

After a brief rest, Ling Feng and his group continued forward. After some distance, Ling Feng suddenly heard an energy disturbance ahead.

"Is it the aftermath of a battle?" The four Hall Masters also sensed it immediately.

"Let’s go and see!" Tianshu Palace Master whispered, "Could there be other people in the Ghostly Ruins?"

The five of them concealed their presence and aura, slowly making their way toward the source of the battle’s aftermath.

Passing through a patch of forest, Ling Feng and his group finally saw the two sides of the battle.

In front, seven or eight people were surrounded by a pack of giant wolves. The surroundings were a mess, with several corpses lying around, including both giant wolves and the people’s companions.

"Huh? It’s them?" Ling Feng couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise upon seeing one of the groups.

"Ling Feng, do you know them?" Lord of the Purple Sun Palace asked, noticing Ling Feng’s shocked expression.

Ling Feng nodded and said, "They’re not from the Ancient Ruins, but are from the Angel World!"

The people being surrounded were Battle Angels from the Angel World, among whom the strongest was a Sixteen-Winged Angel, though he was already covered in blood, apparently seriously injured.

"But why are people from the Angel World in the Ghostly Ruins?" Ling Feng couldn’t help but frown.

Aside from the Emperor Seal Chamber of Commerce on Purple Cloud Star, Ling Feng hadn’t found any other signs of Outsiders, which had puzzled him for a while. Had they all disappeared?

But seeing the angels from the Angel World here in the Ghostly Ruins only deepened Ling Feng’s confusion.

Something unusual was going on! Before understanding why these people were here, Ling Feng decided not to take any action for the time being.

"Outsiders? People from the Angel World?" A trace of confusion flashed across Lord of the Purple Sun Palace’s brow, "Why would Angel World people come to the Ghostly Ruins?"

"I’m not sure either, let’s keep watching for now!" Ling Feng whispered.

At that moment, the leading Wolf King seemed unable to hold back any longer. With a low growl, the giant wolves around it bared their fangs and snarled, advancing step by step towards the seven or eight angels at the center.

"My lord, you should leave first!" a hoarse voice urged from the side of the Sixteen-Winged Angel, "We were ambushed by the Abyss Realm people, and this must be reported to the Holy Spirit King. We’ve lost our combat capability, but you still have a chance to escape alone!"

"Shut up!" the Sixteen-Winged Angel said coldly, "You all came out with me, Galei, and I won’t abandon you! We still have a chance, as long as we unite, we can break through! What’s there to fear from a mere pack of giant wolves? I’ll go slay the Wolf King; you just need to hold your ground!"

"But my lord..."

The angel still wanted to say more but was interrupted by Galei: "I, Galei, have never abandoned a comrade, no matter the situation. So, stop talking! If you truly care for me, then pick up your weapons. We Battle Angels never give up easily!"

Roar! At this moment, the Giant Wolf King let out an angry howl, and the surrounding giant wolves charged at the group of angels as if they were flying.

"Brothers, pick up your weapons, let’s fight these beasts!" Galei shouted in a low voice, and then a huge Angel Sword appeared in his hand, slicing a giant wolf before him in half!
