Chapter 579: Hunted

Still worried about all the Cultivators on the surface, Sage stayed beneath the surface of the ground and fled rapidly from the source of heat behind him. His plans to stay in one place and recover his strength were dashed by the foe behind him. Given that he was sunk into the earth, there was no visibility. Spiritual Sense was greatly reduced, it was quite like hed just sunk his hands into a pile of dirt. It was filled with rocks and he was trying to find something merely with his sense of touch. The focus he put upon trying to identify his attacker saved him from a second assault.

Intent as he was on sensing his surroundings, he was able to notice someone else coming at him from the direction he was fleeing towards. He immediately realized the obvious fiery attacker was a distraction, chasing him to flee right into the hands of this other ambusher. He changed directions and darted back towards the heat. Theyd come towards him from a lower depth and if he didnt choose to head towards the surface theyd both be able to strike him as he fled. Since he thought he was going to get hit anyway, he chose to surprise the enemy in return, turning around and charging towards the heat.

Rushing into an increasingly burning area, Sage found the heat familiar and he smiled. It grew hotter and hotter and Sage waited until the last moment to call upon the Samsara Flame and sheath his body with a layer of fire. Then his Soul collided with a ghostly red skull. The orange flames surrounding him perfectly countered those that radiated from the red skull. She made the earth burn around her, but Sage bashed Hei Bais spirit body away with his shoulder. He charged into her and knocked her aside, and ran from the greater power he felt behind him. Just as hed expected, he felt a flare of Law energy gathering behind him and he fled directly away from it.

Whew, that was close. How did Hei Bai break the Human Seal? Whatever, Ive got better things to worry about.

While hed escaped, his victory wasnt flawless. Enduring the heat from Hei Bai and colliding with her had expended some of his soul strength, causing little dust-like motes of energy to crack and fall from him. He fled directly away from the source of Law power, but had to alter his course after traveling a few hundred yards. He could already feel a power sunk into the ground in front of him and he immediately suspected the Nascent Souls had already set up a Formation to box him in.

Hei Bai started to flare up, her flames growing in intensity, but the Violet Light Ancestor waved a hand in front of the floating skull, Dont let him incite you. He is just a cornered animal, trying to lash out in his last moments before death. He knows he has no chance, but that is also when hes at his most dangerous. Dont let the beast take you down with him.

Hei Bais furious flames dimmed and pulled inward, leaving her with only a thin fiery shroud, Thank you for your wise counsel, Senior. You also fell victim to his plots, yet you still can remain calm and even advise others. I am envious of your state of mind.

The old man twirled his mustache around one finger, a strange gesture considering neither the finger or long white mustache hair were corporeal. He put his other hand behind his back and lifted his chin, acting like a noble and refined character, It is truly nothing. This one has merely lived many years and overcome many of the vicissitudes of life.

Sage let them trade platitudes, since that only bought him more time to rest. Time which he used to send a message, Ruanfu. It is time. The end is finally here.

At that time, Sage cleared his throat to get their attention, If you two are done sampling the farts coming from each others mouths, perhaps we can get back to our fight? Its time the two of you died.

Sage spent most of the Qi hed replenished while hiding in the earth and more than a hundred people appeared out of thin air, completely surrounding him.
