Chapter 758: s.p.a.ce Storm
There were stringent procedures in the transmission process. It was not like one could instantly arrive in Mu City. Xiao Luo kept his body straight, and he found himself in the Dimension of Chaos once again, where everything appeared foggy. Xiao Luo could see nothing except the people who had also entered with him into the teleportation portal. He felt like he was flying forward at a rapid speed.
On the Danhui Sect"s end, the Grand Elder had struck the teleportation portal with a palm movement filled with tremendous power. The power channeled from his palm resembled a sword of immense True Inner Force, which flashed in a bluish light. When he smote the portal, the colorful lights within it glowed brilliantly, then after a brief pause, a tremendous force recoiled back into him.
“Urghh!”
The Grand Elder could not handle the enormous surge of power. Spitting out blood, he flew back almost eight feet before cras.h.i.+ng into the ground. He continued to spit out even more blood, and his old face turned pale in an instant.
“Elder Brother!”
All the other Elders rushed forward to help him to his feet. His disciples also went to a.s.sist as well and gave the Grand Elder a healing pill for his injuries.
The travelers who were waiting in the queue for transmission were in shock.
“Oh, G.o.d. The Danhui Sect"s Grand Elder has powers equivalent to a mid-tier Martial Emperor. But he is the one who got injured with that one strike to the portal. And it did not even sustain any damage!”
“That is because the people of the Holy Land of the Light Clan made the portal. It is a holy item, and it is exceedingly difficult for people who are not from the Light Clan to destroy it.”
“Though the Grand Elder might not have destroyed it, those people traveling to Mu City probably will not have a chance of surviving.”
“That is right. The most important rule during transmission is not to use the True Inner Force. The palm strike from the Danhui Sect"s Grand Elder had an enormous amount of True Inner Force. Those people in the transmission formation will tear into pieces because of the power of s.p.a.ce.”
“Thankfully, it was not I who was traveling to Mu City. Otherwise, that will be the end of me!”
Many of them patted their chests and were thankful that they were not heading to the Mu City. It would have been instant death. No one knew what got into the Danhui Sect"s Grand Elder that he slammed his palm strike into the portal like a madman.
After the Danhui Sect"s Grand Elder strike, a s.p.a.ce storm occurred within the Dimension of Chaos, and inside the portal, everything became white and misty. The storm roared like a beast and swept everything within it. The travelers inside did not even cry out in pain, nor could they react as the storm turned them into minced meat.
Xiao Luo could feel that he was spinning around, and could not tell where the cardinal directions were. All he felt was the sensation of being grabbed by different parts of his body and forcefully pulled in different directions. The powerful storm was trying to tear him apart.
What was going on?
The color on Xiao Luo"s face changed slightly. He saw the people in front of him getting ripped to shreds in the storm. He could no longer care about the rule of not using the True Inner Force, which the disciples had mentioned earlier. His True Inner Force naturally activated and emanated from his body, forming an invisible s.h.i.+eld around him and protecting him from the ferocious storm.
The Duck Emperor was in his pocket and was naturally within the protective bubble as well.
“Huh? What in the ducking world is happening right now?” the duck said in fear. He could sense they were in grave danger from the force of the storm.
“There must be some problem with the portal on the Danhui Sect"s side,” Xiao Luo replied.
“Could it be the supporter of the Song family?”
Duck Emperor firmly said, “Screw his ducking mum. If I knew this would happen, I would have given the jerk a good beating before we left. Now we are in big trouble! G.o.d knows where we will end up. We don"t even know if we can stay alive.”
Xiao Luo was secretly regretting it as well. It was all his fault. He wanted to get to the Holy Land of the Light Clan as soon as he could. He took the risk to get on the teleportation portal, even though he had a feeling that the Grand Elder might be up to no good. He took his chances, and it led to the tragic situation they were in at this moment.
His regrets would change nothing. Within the teleportation portal of the Dimension of Chaos, the strange storm tore everyone else to shreds, and they were the only two left alive inside. He had to remain focused to deal with the situation and stay alive.
Both Xiao Luo and Duck Emperor were inside the protective s.h.i.+eld. There was a stark contrast between the inside of the protective s.h.i.+eld and the roaring storm outside. It was like two different worlds.
Duck Emperor looked at the situation outside the s.h.i.+eld and danced happily. “Wah, you G.o.dd.a.m.n little brat, you are great! This storm cannot do anything to us! Just looking at this, Grandpa Duck here really wants to sing a song to express his feelings right now!”
Xiao Luo simply ignored the duck, for he had to stay focused to deal with the storm.
“What song should I sing?”
Duck Emperor tilted his head and thought for a bit, then said, “Got it.” He jumped onto Xiao Luo"s chest then shook his duck b.u.t.t and started singing. “Just this feeling so cheerful, so cheerful. This feeling so cheerful. Floating in the sky are five words. The problem is nothing important. It"s just a matter of time, it"ll be alright soon. Just this feeling so cheerful…”
Listening to it, Xiao Luo felt like vomiting blood. The silly duck was singing none other than Da Zhangwei"s “So Cheerful”. He shook his b.u.t.t and formed a scissor shape with his wings, moving from left to right expressively.
F*ck!
Even if Xiao Luo had all the patience in the world, he couldn"t help cursing at that point. There he was, trying his best to handle the storm, while the silly duck was treating his chest like a dance floor. The Duck Emperor was singing and shaking his duck b.u.t.t around, and it was disrupting his concentration.
“Hu, hu, hu…”
The storm outside was roaring even louder, and Xiao Luo was having a much harder time blocking it.
When a slight bit of the storm penetrated the s.h.i.+eld, it shocked the Duck Emperor so much that he immediately stopped singing. “What in the ducking world is going on here, you G.o.dd.a.m.n little brat?”
“What is going on? Your singing is so horrible that not even this storm wants to listen to it!” Even using all his strength to maintain the integrity of their protection s.h.i.+eld, Xiao Luo could not pa.s.s taking a swipe at the irritating duck.
“Nonsense, Grandpa Duck here is a singing G.o.d! There is no way my singing is dreadful.”
Duck Emperor rebuffed Xiao Luo"s words but kept quiet thereafter as he recalled how his singing had annoyed a beast demon python in the forest.
Meanwhile, the storm was getting stronger and swept everything away with insane force. It ripped into the s.h.i.+eld of True Inner Force and began to penetrate the barrier like a sharp blade, even cutting up Xiao Luo"s clothing and flesh as well. The Duck Emperor was being subjected to the same lethal force.
“G.o.dd.a.m.n little brat. You must hold on! If you do not, we are going to die!”
Duck Emperor was no longer as relaxed as he was earlier on. His duck face turned pale, and he felt a little disoriented. He had thought nothing would happen, but who could have imagined that the storm transformed so suddenly? It was getting more dangerous, and the situation looked critical.
“Shut that stinking mouth of yours!”
Xiao Luo shouted. With every word he screamed, his True Inner Force radiated outward and covered his body. His forehead dripped with sweat, and his face turned red. He was almost reaching his limit.
