Chapter 201: Grand Technique, Scram
The Cloud Feather Raiment suddenly burst with azure radiance. When the peculiar energy reached Little Yuan’er, it was completely negated by the azure radiance.
“Cloud Feather Raiment?”
Although it negated more than half of the energy, it still sent Little Yuan’er reeling back. She staggered a few steps backward before she managed to regain her footing on the roof.
Initially, Li Jing Yi thought the energy blast would heavily injure the little girl. However, she did not expect the Cloud Feather Raiment would be so miraculous. ‘Just who is this little girl?’
At this moment, the servants in the Ci Mansion’s courtyard who were looking at the sky cried out, “Young lady!”
When Little Yuan’er reeled back, she had let go of her Nirvana Sash. She looked at the sky with an extremely shocked expression on her face. “I’m alright!”
When Ci Yuan saw the situation was dire, he rushed toward Lu Zhou’s room. Although he was rather courageous, he was still shocked by what he had seen. “Yuan’er is in danger! Please do something, old mister!” He leaned on the door hopefully as he waited for a reply.
…
Lu Zhou was still sitting cross-legged in the room with his eyes shut. Indeed, he had heard the commotion outside. However, he made no reply. There seemed to be a power inside his mind itching to launch into action. It was growing stronger.
Lu Zhou had never felt this before. When he comprehended the Heavenly Writing in the past, all he felt was his mental state becoming clearer and clearer… When he faced the Brahman Lullaby and witchcraft attacks, the extraordinary power was activated pa.s.sively.
This time, it was different. A mysterious sensation made him feel as if he could control this amazing power. He sensed that he could not stop. If he stopped, it would be difficult for him to get into this state again.
…
Meanwhile, Li Jingyi drew level with the flying chariot. She kept flipping her hands. Thousand upon thousands of energy seals were formed…
“Too late!” A thunderous voice boomed from the flying chariot.
The numerous energy seals were shattered by the terrifying sound technique before they could even take shape. They burst in the air like bubbles.
Bam!
Li Jingyi was. .h.i.t, and she fell.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin shouted at Duanmu Sheng, “Third Senior Brother! Don’t hold back anymore!”
“Avatar.”
Two Hundred Tribulations Insight avatars appeared in midair.
The Separation Hook and the Overlord Spear seemed to penetrate the masked cultivators’ chests at the same time.
Little Yuan’er ran along the roof and launched herself into the air. The Nirvana Sash left the two cultivators and flew toward Little Yuan’er like a dragon. She moved toward Li Jingyi. “Senior Brother!”
Little Yuan’er’s Seven Stars Cloud Treading Steps were the perfect match for the Nirvana Sash.
“Coming!” Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Duanmu Sheng’s avatars moved swiftly. They planted themselves before the two remaining masked cultivators.
These two had much weaker cultivation bases. They were a far cry from the previous two. They were not even in the Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm!
Little Yuan’er could defeat them on her own, but time was running short…
The Nirvana Sash extended and reached under Li Jingyi like petals from a rose. It supported Li Jingyi to break her fall.
Little Yuan’er approached Li Jingyi. The Nirvana Sash wrapped itself around the two of them as they slowly descended.
“Just what I wanted!”
The huge sword appeared in the skies again. The Great Dark Heaven Memorial?
The sword had grown gigantic.
Li Jingyi looked up with a frightened expression on her face. “Move away!” She quickly pushed Little Yuan’er aside. The moment she broke free of the Nirvana Sash, she turned around in midair.
Little Yuan’er raised her eyebrows. “What’re you doing?” She was determined not to fail her master’s mission for them. “I must accomplish… what master has asked me to do!”
The Nirvana Sash unfurled again!
“Supreme Purity Jade Slip!”
With nimble movements and a Hundred Tribulations Insight avatar with no leaves, Little Yuan’er appeared next to Li Jingyi.
The Nirvana Sash s.h.i.+elded them from above.
“Little girl…” A terrifying energy surged from Li Jingyi’s body.
Boom!
Energies collided above them.
Little Yuan’er and Li Jingyi retreated again.
“I’m alright!” Little Yuan’er pulled her Nirvana Sash back.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Duanmu Sheng took care of their opponents at this moment. They prepared to rush to their aid.
Swoosh
At this moment, a cl.u.s.ter of gray clouds drifted toward them from the northwest of Anyang. They were moving at great speed!
Li Jingyi grabbed Little Yuan’er’s hand and descended. “Get ready to retreat! A powerful enemy has arrived!”
The huge flying chariot in the sky sensed the coming of a stronger enemy as well.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin looked at the gray clouds as he hovered in the air. The clouds were merely a blur from afar. When they got closer, he noticed that they were not clouds, it was a brown flying chariot…
A huge flag was displayed on the huge flying chariot. A Jasper Saber could be seen on the flag that had spiral patterns. The huge characters of the Nether Sect were displayed on the flag as well.
“Master, Yu Zhenghai, the Sect Master of Nether Sect Master is here!”
There was an obvious fluctuation in the impostor’s flying chariot’s Primal Qi. The black-robed cultivator who sat in the flying chariot opened his eyes. ‘Yu Zhenghai is here?’ His hands that were on his chest were visibly shaking at this point. His Primal Qi’s circulation began to slacken. He wanted to condense his Qi into energy again, but he found that he could not. The Nether Sect’s flying chariot was getting closer, and his hand shook even more violently as time pa.s.sed. “Prepare to retreat.”
“Understood.”
He looked at the little girl in the Cloud Feather Raiment and said in a deep voice, “Little girl, you foiled my plans. You won’t get away with this…”
A purple blast of energy shot out from the flying chariot again! It formed a huge claw that shot toward Little Yuan’er.
“Trying to attack my little junior sister? You’ll have to go through me!” Mings.h.i.+ Yin’s Separation Hook and Scabbard spun as they swept toward the energy blast.
The Overlord Spear made a move as well. Thousand Waves.
Swoos.h.!.+
However, the Separation Hook and Scabbard and the Overlord Spear pa.s.sed through the huge purple claw.
“It’s no use! This is witchcraft!” Li Jingyi pulled on Little Yuan’er and ran.
The huge claw was closing in on them.
A burst of dense energy shot out from the Nether Sect’s flying chariot and it was aimed at Little Yuan’er as well.
At the same time, four figures leaped out of the flying chariot. They moved at lightning speed.
Li Jingyi and Wei Zhuoyan were still unaware of the impostors. They thought the incoming flying chariot was just reinforcement from the Nether Sect.
This was a truly confusing situation.
Li Jingyi sighed and said, “Little girl, since you’ve saved me once, I’ll return the favor now… Take Wei Zhuoyan with you and leave. He mustn’t die!” Just as she was about to unleash her grand technique…
Above the roof of the Ci mansion where Lu Zhou was at, a soundwave formed a vortex and erupted with a faint bluish radiance. It shot through the roof into the air.
“Scram.”
The word ‘Scram’ was projected upwards as if the vortex was an oversized loudspeaker.
Mings.h.i.+ Yin descended.
Duanmu Sheng descended.
Li Jingyi descended.
Little Yuan’er descended as well after being pulled by Li Jingyi.
The soundwave was moving upward, it was best to stay close to the ground.
Those who were in the skies would have the rough.
‘To gain the power of speech recognition, even about the unspeakable truths, and understand the words spoken by the tongues of the beings in the different worlds.’ This was the Human Scroll of the Heavenly Writing’s power of speech.
Lu Zhou felt danger creeping up on him, and his extraordinary power erupted instinctively.
The word ‘Scram’ sounded like a clap of thunder in every cultivator’s ears.
The huge purple claw faded away.
The energy shot that was shot from the Nether Sect’s flying chariot dissipated before it could even take form as well.
Cultivators dropped like flies in the wake of the soundwave.
The Four Great Protectors of the Nether Sect retreated in the air with fearful looks on their faces.
On the ground.
The soundwave spread for several miles with the Ci mansion at the center…
Every citizen of Anyang City heard the word ‘Scram’.
The rebel army and the soldiers from the Divine Capital heard it as well.
Li Jingyi and the others looked up the instant they touched down.
The flying chariot above the southern gate teetered and creaked…
The flying chariot in the northwest managed to defend itself against this sound technique with the Four Great Protectors defending it. However, they still wore a fearful expression on their faces.
Whoos.h.!.+
The flying chariot above the southern gate seemed to have suffered a heavy blow. It was fleeing the scene quickly.
After a long pause, the streets of Anyang were finally silent.
The sun was s.h.i.+ning at just the right intensity. n.o.body was moving, n.o.body made a sound.
The people looked around. Some in confusion, some in fear, and some in concern.
Creak…
The Ci mansion’s main doors swung open slowly at this moment, and Lu Zhou emerged with his hands on his back.
“Master!”
“Greetings, master!”
Mings.h.i.+ Yin and Duanmu Sheng fell to one knee.
Little Yuan’er kneeled as well. “Master!”
It was not that Lu Zhou did not want to make a flas.h.i.+er appearance… but he did not have much Primal Qi left. In fact, he did not even know how he managed to unleash such extraordinary power. It practically depleted his Divine Court realm’s Primal Qi… His mind was not as rested as it was after he comprehended the Heavenly Writing as well. For this reason, he could only slowly walk out. As he walked, he thought about the ways he could utilize this extraordinary power.
Even then, n.o.body dared to underestimate this wizened old man. After all, he was the master of the three elites.
The three disciples were still on their knees.
Lu Zhou was at the intersection now, which was ideal for him. He gazed in all four directions. The rebel army was to his left; to his right were Wei Zhuoyan and Li Jingyi.
All eyes were on Lu Zhou at this moment.
Li Jingyi fell to one knee, cupped her fists, and said, “Thank you for repelling the Nether Sect’s Four Great Protectors, old senior!”
In the sky…
The genuine Nether Sect’s Four Great Protectors hovered in the air and looked at the ground with fear.
“Li Jingyi?” Lu Zhou looked at Li Jingyi who was next to Little Yuan’er.
