Rules of Heaven - C98

Peng Yue’s whole body tensed. His heartbeat could be clearly seen from his chest. He stared at the control stick and said with a speed that was three times faster than usual, “He must have been pulled up by a rocket! It shouldn’t be long before they slow down their patrolling speed to a halt! ”

Just as he finished his sentence, the entire airship shook again. A strong pulling force was exerted on the airship. Peng Yue, Ding Hong, and Duan Ling Tian didn’t even have the time to react before their bodies rapidly inclined forward. Peng Yue was still alright as he was originally sitting there. There was still a pile of messy objects in front of him to stop him. However, his body slammed violently into them, causing a great deal of pain.

However, Dante Hong and Duan Ling Tian had no one to rely on, and their bodies directly collided into the front of the group. Ding Hong was quick to react, and he took advantage of the opportunity to grab a long and sturdy rod, reaching out to pull Duan Ling Tian, who was also thrown over, into his embrace.

As she was embraced by him, Duan Ling Tian instinctively wanted to pierce her with his needles. Her two hands moved backwards as her lily-white hands moved downwards, wanting to take out that dagger once again. Ding Hong was startled. Just as he was about to let her go, Ling Wan stopped and let him hold her.

After the flying ship heard everything, Ding Hong hurriedly let go of her and secretly let out a sigh of relief.

Peng Yue recovered from the earlier collision. He leaned to the side to take a look at the scene outside through the small holes, and was startled for a moment. From the corner of his eyes, he could see that a rocket crossbow that had been tied to a rigid rope had fallen off one of the patrol ships. It was obvious that he hadn’t succeeded when he had tried to fly it.

Since the rocket crossbows weren’t tied to the airship, they were still safe. However, once he thought about it, these Pan Family’s sky warships would definitely not be afraid of being hooked by the rocket crossbows sooner or later. At that time, even the King of Hell himself wouldn’t be able to save them. He gritted his teeth and looked at the handbrake that was half turned. With a resolute heart, he placed both of his hands on top of the handbrake and pressed it to the right.

“Buzz!” The drone let out a loud rumble, and its surroundings immediately lit up with a frightening red light.

Ding Hong, who was standing to the side, shivered upon seeing Peng Yue’s actions. He immediately guessed that Peng Yue had activated something too extreme, and wanted to stop him. However, if he were to continue running like this, sooner or later he would be caught by the Pan Clan.

After Peng Yue had fully turned the handbrake, the sound of a high-speed disturbance within the aircraft continued to increase, from the initial fly like noise to a final ear-piercing screech.

Even with Duan Ling Tian’s and Ding Hong’s profound cultivation, when they heard this ear-piercing cry, their minds couldn’t help but churn, and their consciousness became fuzzy.

Peng Yue, on the other hand, was in an even worse state. A few moments later, blood was already flowing out from his orifices. If not for Ding Hong’s discovery that he had fed him a few pills, he would have died on the spot.

Thinking that the two people behind him must have some sort of magical ability, he hurriedly fished out a strangely shaped oval hat from the trunk and placed it on his head. Then, he grabbed onto the control stick and fiercely pushed it forward.

The control stick seemed to be stuck on something, and with Peng Yue’s push, it moved forward a little. Sweat poured down Peng Yue’s forehead as he continuously chanted, “Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up…”

“Boom!”

Suddenly, another ball of fire soared to the sky from the back of the airship. The rumbling sound was like a thunderclap that rang in their ears, causing them all to turn pale. When Ding Hong saw that Peng Yue was unable to push him away, he took a step to the left and slammed his palm on the joystick.

With a “ka” sound, the control stick was smoothly pushed forward, but due to the excessive force, it was actually snapped into two pieces by the metal plate in front of it.

Peng Yue and Ding Hong were both stunned on the spot. Before they could react, the drone from the drone suddenly increased by more than ten times! Even though the three of them had reacted, they were still knocked unconscious by the sudden piercing sound. Peng Yue was the worst. After spitting out a mouthful of blood, he became unconscious. Duan Ling Tian was also unable to hold on for even a moment before limply collapsing onto the ground.

Seeing the two of them in such a state, Ding Hong jumped and quickly dragged the two into a mountain and river bag. He quickly found a relatively stable place to settle down. Just as he steadied himself, the airship sped up by more than a dozen times! With a swoosh, he transformed into a streak of light, instantly dispersing the thick fog in the air.

Behind them, a few people commanding the firing of rocket crossbows and artillery were about to call for orders when a strong gust of wind blew in front of them, causing them to sway from side to side. They were so angry that they started cursing the ancestors of this desert. When they came back to their senses and prepared to continue firing the rocket crossbows and artillery, they found nothing but a yellow fog in front of them.

Just as everyone was unable to believe what had just happened before their eyes, a gunner roared, “Over there! Over there!”

Everyone hastily turned around to look at the gunner. Following the direction he pointed, they could vaguely see something flying forward. Looking at its size, it was no different from the flying machine! A few of the commanders cheered and turned around to give chase.

In the blink of an eye, a dozen or so battleships patrolling the skies flew majestically towards the blurry figure.

On a towering sand dune, seven or eight hundred meters below, a middle-aged man in a fattened state was holding a lantern in his left hand. His fingers moved continuously, and a faint light could be seen flickering in his palm. After a while, he looked up into the sky with a kind smile and said to himself, “Since all of you want to fly that much, then go take a look at Pluto Valley that leads to the Ghost World.

As Ding Hong sat inside the flying ship, he could not believe the speed of the flying ship. He could only guess that the flying ship’s speed was at least ten times faster than the Imperial Sword Technique! He was nailed to the deck by the force of the impact, unable to move. Occasionally, he would flip over, or because the drone had been struck by the torrent, causing it to turn around.

With a “peng” sound, a piece of metal that was in the way of the flying machine suddenly flipped and flew into the opening like blades. From time to time, a few blades would fly into Ding Hong’s mouth. It was as if ten thousand blades were stabbing at his heart. Ding Hong did not even have a single thought. He felt that the simplest thoughts became extremely difficult and slow, as if they were blown away by the wind or frozen at an extremely fast speed.

Solidified?

Solidified at an extremely fast speed?

Ding Hong’s originally messy heart suddenly flashed, as if he vaguely thought of something. But just as he was about to penetrate deep into his heart, a “clang” sound came from the flying ship, as if most of it fell down. After that, the flying machine was like a mad bull as it scuttled up and down non-stop, causing Ding Hong to fly up and down as well, with some sharp steel pieces stabbing into his body from time to time. The fresh blood was like a fountain, dyeing the space in the cabin, which had a large hole in the middle of it, a dark red.

Thinking of this, the flight section wouldn’t be able to hold on for too long. If he were to stay here for too long, once the flying ship lands on the ground, even with the support of the Heavenly Talisman, it would be impossible to repair his body that was squashed into a pile of mincemeat, right? Even though he could use the power of the Heavenly Talisman, he didn’t dare to try it directly …

He observed his surroundings while his body was still moving, and then the next moment, the flying shuttle pushed him infinitely closer to the hole that Ling Wan had originally dropped. A light flashed in his eyes. He no longer hesitated and used the momentum to kick off the steel plate, directly jumping out of the big hole!

The sandstorm outside the airship became even more violent, mixing with the sand like countless guillotines slicing at the body. Ding Hong could feel that his body was moving like a meteor. He didn’t know if he was charging towards the sky or the ground, because he couldn’t clearly see the sky or the earth in this yellow sand filled, visibility of less than five meters.

Yellow sand flew all over the sky as thoughts flew. In the midst of his confusion, a hazy and broad outline appeared before Ding Hong’s eyes. He was shocked and quickly regained his senses.

Although the sand in the desert was very soft to drive, it shouldn’t be too big of a problem to fall down, but the main reason was that his current speed was too fast, he was afraid that he would be smashed to pieces if he crashed into the water. In the blink of an eye, the ravine below became more and more obvious. Not daring to be careless, the ring finger on his right hand quickly drew a picture of Yin Yang and threw it into his blurry desert. As soon as the Yin-Yang Image appeared, the word ‘Xun’ began to shine brightly. In just a few moments, it had expanded to a size of ten zhang!

Ding Hong saw that he was only a few hundred feet away from the sand dune. It seemed a long distance, but he knew in his heart that at his current speed, this distance was only a time to breathe in and out. His right hand turned into a fist and punched the yin yang talisman.

The yin yang talisman let out a happy cry and turned into a thick stream of light as it crashed into the sand dune.

The sand dune immediately turned back, and the whining sound became even more urgent. Layers of thick yellow dune overturned from the ground with a roar, and then ferociously pounced down. When Ding Hong saw this scene, he immediately felt relieved. He had originally wanted to use the Yin-Yang Image’s power to knock out the sand from the sand dune, while he was in midair to take advantage of this opportunity to slow down. This way, it would be much better than falling directly onto the sand dune. However, when he saw that the sand dune had been blasted by the Yin-Yang Image into a huge pit, his heart sank. Had he not dug himself a sand grave when he had fallen in like this?

However, Ding Hong could not be bothered about it this time. His body had already fallen into the sand dune, the surrounding wind was blowing, and the sand was cutting people, but he did not dare to be careless. Borrowing the support of the swirling sand in his surroundings, his speed had indeed slowed down by a lot. However, his speed was still as slow as a feather, only thirty to forty percent of his speed had been reduced. Ding Hong could not hold back the surging rage in his heart. He yelled at the sand below him, “Don’t let me fall to my death if you have the guts!” Ding Hong’s heart suddenly turned cold just as he was about to fall into the sandpit. He hastily tapped his bag on the mountain and river, throwing out two figures like lightning.

One of them, although not very large, was very muscular. It was Peng Yue. The other person had long hair that fluttered in the wind, eyes that were as alluring as the fragrance of Yun Zhi, and was wearing an extremely revealing Western Wasteland attire that was extremely flirtatious. It was precisely Duan Ling Wan who had changed into a new set of clothes.

Peng Yue didn’t have much cultivation in the first place, so he landed loudly into a ravine while screaming in midair. Duan Ling Tian, on the other hand, lightly landed on the sand dune while borrowing the force from mid-air. Just as she was about to use her magic treasures to aid him, several lion-like sandstorms fell from the sky. Ding Hong, who had been slowed down by the Yin-Yang Image, was instantly buried under the sand.

When the sandwaterfall closed, Duan Ling Tian instantly felt empty in his heart. Originally, she had been taught by her father how fragile human nature was since she was young, and was unable to endure the trials and tribulations. But for some reason, when she saw Ding Hong suddenly being buried deep in the sand, she felt as if a tiny black iron needle was stabbing at her heart.

Suddenly, Peng Yue’s voice cried out not too far away, “Elder sister, be careful!”

Duan Ling Tian had something on his mind in the first place, so when he reacted to it, he only heard a buzzing sound beside his ear. A strong wind blew across his face, and then an enormous blue light, less than 10 feet away from her, smashed into the sand dune below his feet.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian had already recovered from his shock, and his brows were tightly knitted. His nimble body leaped up and just happened to dodge the sand that was sent flying by that enormous object.

Peng Yue was originally standing not too far away, and his heart felt as if it had fallen into his throat. When he saw Duan Ling Tian nimbly avoiding the sand, his black delicate figure dancing about, and his slender figure that seemed like carved jade, frowning like a crescent moon, causing his heart to ache, he couldn’t help but be dumbstruck for a moment.

Duan Ling Tian didn’t notice Peng Yue’s foolish gaze. Looking at the object that had just descended from the sky, it was shockingly the incomplete flying ship! When he thought about how it was only a few feet away from him, he couldn’t help but feel a sense of fear.

When the drone came down from the sky, it hit the sand dune that was buried by Ding Hong. After the sand dune was hit, nearly half of the sand was lifted away. Duan Ling Tian’s eyes lit up when he saw this scene. An indescribable joy suddenly arose within his heart, but in the blink of an eye, he once again caused her to be slightly hesitant. After a while, she seemed to have made up her mind. She knelt on one knee on the sand and pressed her right hand against the sand. Her left thumb started at her elbow and wrote a string of incomprehensible runes until the back of her hand finally stopped. Then her thumb went up to her elbow and fell down, placing it on the back of her hand and pressing it hard.

Suddenly, he felt the earth beneath his feet tremble, and a great amount of sand descended onto him from above, causing him to recover in the blink of an eye. Thinking back to his earlier loss of composure, his face turned completely red, and when he secretly looked at Duan Ling Tian and noticed that she didn’t pay attention to him, he couldn’t help but feel pain in his heart. However, thinking about the shock just now, he felt a bit strange. He didn’t know what it was. Could it be an earthquake? But how could there be an earthquake in the desert?

Just as Peng Yue was at a loss about what to do, a large piece of sand, over a hundred meters in front of Duan Ling Tian, jumped up like water from a drum. At first, it was only a small piece, but in the blink of an eye, it had spread out to cover a 156-meter area.

“Roar!”

Accompanied by a loud roar, an earthworm like sand monster appeared in front of Duan Ling Tian. The more the sand monster rose, the less sand there was around it, as if it were sucking all the sand away. However, the sand monster continued to grow. It was as if there was no end to it, as if it were sucking in countless amounts of sand from its body.

At this moment, Duan Ling Tian’s face was pale. He suddenly thought of something in his heart, and his eyes instantly revealed traces of regret and fear.
