Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 462 Inescapable Trap

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow rode the goshawk and zoomed toward Changlong City at the speed of light.

Although the view from above the sky was entirely different from running on the ground, when Ou Yangming and Big Yellow looked ahead, they noticed that the environment here matched the one in their memories.

Nonetheless, they were horrified because over ten trails of smoke rose from the city. Even though the smoke was dispersed by the strong wind when they rose to a certain height, the young fellow and the big yellow dog could sense how badly the city was damaged.

“Faster!” Ou Yangming lowered his body a little and shouted.

His eyes were filled with strong killing intent. After all, Old Craftsman and the people from the Ni family were still in the city. If anything happened to them… Ou Yangming dared not think further. Big Yellow gritted its teeth but did not roar, which was quite unlike it. Nevertheless, the look in its eyes was more frightening than Ou Yangming’s, so much so that its eyes were becoming bloodshot. It seemed like Big Yellow had been detached from the Ni family because it had been following Ou Yangming, but how could it forget its years of friendship with the Ni family so easily? If the look from its eyes could kill insects, the insects in the distance would have been killed several times by now.

“Master, there’s a dangerous aura nearby,” the goshawk noted as it lifted its wings a little.

It became more cautious after being obstructed by the yellow clouds and mist just now. Though it did not spot any danger yet, there was a reason it was suddenly feeling alarmed.

Ou Yangming’s face darkened. “Forget that, let’s enter the city first.”

“Woof!” Big Yellow barked fiercely to agree with him.

The goshawk sighed. Its master could not remain calm after seeing his closed ones in danger.

With that, it spread its wings and increased its speed to get to the city.

Despite that, both Ou Yangming and the goshawk did not notice a thin film ahead. The film’s color was connected with the ground, hence it could not be spotted at all. Beneath the film laid two formidable four-legged lizards, which were staring at the sky with bloody eyes. Under the film’s protection, even their auras were not exposed, let alone their bodies.

At the top of the wall, Elder Universe and the others had noticed the gigantic goshawk approaching the city.

Due to the distance, they could only see a black spot. “What’s… That?”

“I suppose it’s a bird?”

“A Bird? Are those insects planning to go against a bird?”

“Judging from their stances, it seems like that’s the case…”

The Supreme Great Ancestors looked at each other as they felt like their conceptions of the world had just been overturned.

It was a first when the spirit insects came to besiege Changlong County. The great ancestors would not have believed it if they did not experience it, but they became more puzzled by everything they were seeing at the moment. Why did a bird powerhouse come to Changlong County? It was evident that the two spirit insects were going to ambush the spirit bird…

Since when spirit beasts began to kill each other?

Elder Universe’s face suddenly changed. “Were we told that Lil’ Friend Ou subdued a spirit beast in Feiya City?”

Ni Jingshen was stunned, and he smiled bitterly. “Feiya City informed us that Master Ou settled the fight from the Birds and has possibly taken control of the spirit bird—the culprit.” He became hesitant as he added, “It’s just a possibility—it hasn’t been confirmed.”

Fang Zhaoyang’s face darkened. “What about the news from Huangsha and Yongxiang?”

“Gentlemen, it’s already quite astounding that Master Ou could conquer Multi-armed King Kong. I’m afraid that it’ll be beyond his capability to subdue another,” Ni Jingshen noted after some thought.

“Why?” Fang Zhaoyang was confused.

“That’s because he needs to pay a huge price to control a spirit beast. Before Master Ou goes beyond Extreme Grade, it’s unlikely that he can take down another spirit beast.”

If Ou Yangming was present, he would understand why the great ancestor said that. Back when he subdued the goshawk, Multi-armed King Kong adopted an extreme approach as it wanted to protect him. In the end, the spirit beast stopped but found it strange because he was full of energy and was not famished at all.

Based on the ability displayed by Ou Yangming, most people think that it was amazing that he became a spirit beast’s master. As for controlling another one, it seemed quite impossible.

“I would’ve thought the same but…” Elder Universe smiled faintly and expressed with bright eyes, “Lil’ Fiend Ou is good at creating miracles.”

Following that, he inhaled deeply, and his body seemed to have expanded a bit as a result.

“Lil’ Friend Ou, be careful…”

His voice was thunderous, and it spread far and wide. As such, even the two Supreme Great Ancestors beside him were taken aback.

Sure enough, the elder, who had lived for many years, must not be treated normally. He was so formidable that he was definitely at the peak of Extreme Grade.

Ou Yangming, who was hurrying back to the city, raised his eyebrows. He vaguely heard the voice and could tell that it came from Elder Universe, so he suddenly felt a strong sense of crisis.

‘Be careful? Of what?!’

Just as the thought crossed his mind, an enormous change happened to the world below him. The initially flat ground sprung up without warning and attacked the goshawk.

The goshawk shrieked and soared higher without any hesitation. It was deeply infuriated.

It turned out that there was an ambush below them but similar to the yellow poisonous miasma, it could not sense anything before the trap was activated.

The Insects from this realm could not have set up something like that. Having said that, the resources required to transport such a formation into this realm were almost equivalent to revamping a treasured item.

While the exchange was equal-valued, the price paid was twice as much as the cost.

It would be fine if only one formation was sent to this realm, but the mad Insects had somehow delivered two here… The goshawk was furious, but it was also afraid. Given that the Insects were doing things regardless of the costs, what exactly were they scheming…

The thin film flew up, revealing two gigantic four-legged lizards beneath it. By occupying one side each, they sat on the ground like humans and waved their claws in the air to control the thin film. It was clear from the film’s flight direction that the lizards were determined to capture the goshawk.

Upon seeing this, the goshawk cried and stirred up endless strong wind around it. The wind turned into a large blade, which was thrown into the distance.

This was the most potent soundwave spell that could be used by the goshawk. In terms of mightiness only, it was not inferior to the airflow channel that got rid of the yellow clouds and mist.

Since the goshawk was a spirit beast, it naturally had some ultimate skills, and it was not going to stint on using them at this moment.

However, when the giant wind blade attacked the thin film, the film was instantly elongated. Owing to the wind blade’s forceful power, the film’s disguise disappeared, revealing the true colors behind it.

Even so, the thin film could not be slit no matter how strong the wind blade was. Furthermore, as the film kept extending, the wind blade’s power was quickly disappearing.

The goshawk spread its wings as if it was terrified. It flew up to the sky with all its might.

“It’s the Inescapable Trap! It’s the damn Inescapable Trap! The Insects have gone mad!”

Ou Yangming and Big Yellow exchanged glances. They did not know what the Inescapable Trap was, but they could tell from the goshawk’s expression how rare and mighty the thing was. The goshawk did not forget itself when it faced the Insects’ poisonous miasma, so it seemed like it was not confident about breaking free from the thin film.

Indeed, under the two spirit insects’ controls, the thin film changed faster than the goshawk could fly.

“Goshawk, what is this thing afraid of?” Ou Yangming asked sternly.

“Thunderbolts and flames-only the greatest energies of nature can destroy them,” the goshawk answered hastily.

Ou Yangming nodded, and he somehow understood something. He retrieved an equipment set from his interspatial bag and put them on as fast as he could. Afterward, he ordered fiercely, “Charge forward and break through it!”

“This thing can’t be broken through!” The goshawk screamed.

“Trust me!” Ou Yangming responded without any hesitation.

The goshawk gritted its teeth because it was still dubious of Ou Yangming’s abilities. At the end of the day, even it was helpless, so what could the young fellow do? That said, the spirit bird felt a chill in its heart when it thought about the power inside Ou Yangming’s body.

It spread its wings and charged forward without evading anymore.

The thin film was extensive, but it could not really cover Heaven and Earth. While the goshawk could not avoid it completely, it could rely on its odd flight path to prevent itself from being captured.

Nonetheless, the goshawk no longer dodged the thin film anymore; it made a desperate last effort and swooped down on the film.

Ou Yangming’s eyes lit up. He crossed his arms and grabbed his military saber to make a horizontal slash.

Every piece of equipment on his body shone and released intense lights. They all carried only one power—fire. Moreover, the skill released by his saber was an advanced ability of the Fireball Art, which was Flame Saber.

Endless powers of flames assembled into a big saber between Heaven and Earth, and it was slashed on the thin film.
