71 Chapter 71: Menos Grande (2/2)
It slowly climbs up under constant attack of the cero. After a while, the experience points achieve full experience bar and…
[Ding…. Great Way of the Buddha Experience body cultivation state level up. Host current body is now Sky Profound Realm Second Level]
The energy beam slowly dies down and created a cloud of smoke. The villagers looked at the cloud of smoke feeling despair and hoped that powerful cultivator didn't perish under that attack. All of a sudden, the smoke suddenly cleared up and a figure emerge from it holding a sword on his side. Right now, he was feeling blissful after his body state went up. He jumped and stands on the air same level as the Menos's head.
”Hey, ugly. That stings. Then again you pushed my body state up. Can you do that again?” He said while taunting the Menos. The villagers were dumbstruck seeing that man taunting it to attack him again. As for the others, Cang Yue was quite speechless while Little Fairy sighs immediately. No wonder he wanted to fight it alone. He wanted to use its attack to elevate his body.
The Menos charged up another cero and fired it towards Yun Che again. However…
[Ding…. Great Way of the Buddha Experience points +2500]
[Ding…. Great Way of the Buddha Experience points +2500]
[Ding…. Great Way of the Buddha Experience points +2500]
The power of the cero is now halved and it took him another shot before finally achieving another breakthrough on his body.
[Ding…. Great Way of the Buddha Experience body cultivation state level up. Host current body is now Sky Profound Realm Thied Level]
After a while, his body state leveled up once more. But the Menos's cero was getting weaker.
”Chee, it's getting weaker. Maybe due to my body state leveled up. Tempting it might be but it's still far from the fourth level boundary. Sorry, I couldn't afford to wait any longer. Thank you for your services then.” Yun Che then empowers his sword with spirit force and immediately shot a Getsuga slicing the cero in half. The Getsuga traveled towards the hollow and sliced its left shoulder.
The villagers were gaping once more seeing that young man slicing the giant being easily just like that. As if this being was a joke to begin with. The hollow lost its balance for a while before regaining back its bearing. Seeing its shoulder was ripped apart by Yun Che. It immediately gives out an intimidating roar.
ROOOAAARRRR
With that roar, it suddenly grabs the air using its right hand and pull it like a blanket. Stunning the villagers and him at the same time. For them its impossible for the air to be pulled like a piece of clothing. Yun Che knew this thing was opening up a garganta back to Hueco Mundo. Looks like the hollow was making a run for it. Yun Che immediately flashed step towards the hollow to give it a killing blow but as soon as he arrived near it. As soon as he swings his sword towards it,
CLANG!!!!
Yun Che was stunned seeing his sword suddenly hit a yellow barrier suddenly covered the hollow. The most annoying barrier used by Sosuke Aizen to escaped from Soul Society.
”Damn it, I was too late. It managed to use Negacion on itself.” If Yun Che was fast enough, he could easily kill the hollow but it managed to open up a garganta just now. Thus, enabled it to use the Negacion skill to save itself. After a while, the giant Menos managed to cover itself with the air and escaped back to Hueco Mundo. Leaving Yun Che standing on the air.
”What is that barrier?” Jasmine suddenly asked.
”That is the Negacion or counter membrane. Gillians used it to escape. I didn't tell you this but the only way to kill a Gillian is when it closed the garganta just now. That's why I didn't attack it the moment it came through the hole. The hole must be closed for a successful attack or else they will be invulnerable. When they came through, they also couldn't attack as well.”
”So, these things are invulnerable in their realm?”
”No, only passing by gates. If we managed to get in there. I can easily kill it. Damn, I was too late.”
”Ohh, just relax, we can get them next time.”
”These things are getting stronger by the minute. Looks like we might have a lot of trouble in the future.” Yun Che said with a serious face towards Jasmine.
”Its really that bad huh?” Jasmine was quite stunned seeing Yun Che serious for some reason. If that thing managed to get away. Then how strong is it in the future?
”Hollows might be weak but they are stronger once they evolved. Next time, remind me to kill it instantly.” Yun Che wraps Zangetsu back in its straps and placed it on his back before falling back to the ground.
He was rejoined by Retsu and the others. Cang Yue and Little Fairy asked a lot of question about that Menos and Yun Che explained briefly about it just now. However, he left the details about Hueco Mundo from them. All he did was telling them about Spirit Profound Realm hollows and their capabilities. As for the garganta part, he only said those things have the capabilities to tear through space to travel in which shocking the ladies in the end. A hollow able to learn spatial art isn't something they could see every day. He told them about the capabilities of the cero as well. The ladies learnt a thing or two about Menos Grande and possibly knew how to counter if it ever appears in the future.
”Rascal, how do you know a lot about this things?” Since Little Fairy was straightforward, she just asked him on the spot to satisfy the curiosity.
”My master spends a lot of time studying these things in the past. It's my first time fighting that thing as well.” Yun Che said with a grin. In fact, he hides all the data he gained from the system behind his so called 'master'.
”Hoo, so that's why you knew a lot about these hollows?” Cang Yue asked him.
”Sort of, Come. I bet the villagers are dying to meet us.” With that, Yun Che and the others travel into the village. The village chief allow the array to open a path for them to enter the village. The village was not that large as it is located on top of the hill facing the mountain. It was still a long way on foot to the top of the hill. So, Cang Yue deployed her eagle and all of them instantly arrived at the top of the hill. They finally found the village and quite stunned with its beauty. This village, despite being far away from the city but they could create something this beautiful. Moreover, it was surrounded by green as far as the eye can see.
As soon as they arrived, they were greeted by the village's chief along with the other villagers. Eyes of adoration are everywhere as they climb down from the eagle to the village's square.
When the villagers saw them, some of them actually thought Yun Che's party as a party of immortals because of their performances and their looks. Where else could they see a handsome young man surrounded by three peerless beauties. They could only dream to be in his position right now.
”Greetings immortal, I am Feng Baichuan. The Phoenix Clan head of this village. We of the phoenix clan would like to thank you for saving us from those things.” With that, he cupped his hands and continued to bow followed by the rest of the villagers.
”No..no..no.. Village chief, please don't bow. We just normal cultivators, who happen to passed by this place. We're not immortals.” Yun Che started to hold the village chief to prevent him from bowing. They're just doing it for fun, not for appreciation.
”How come you're not immortals. You descended down from the heavens to aid us in our time of need. You must be the savior sent by the heavens to us.” The village head while looking at the sky. Probably thinking his jump from the eagle as help from the heavens.
”Like we said, we're just normal human beings. Not immortals.” Yun Che sighs immediately. These folks really thought them as immortal beings.
”Then, we're thank you again immortals.” The village chief didn't bow but still calling him immortal again.
”Dang it, let's just leave at that.” Yun Che pinched the bridge of his nose and sigh once more. There's nothing he could do about the perception. With that, Yun Che and the others followed the village chief to the village edge. From his view, the village was quite beautiful and community was peaceful. Unlike those from the city. As they were walking, every eyes on the village looking at them with adoration. Females of the villages stealing glances at him with red faces while males do the same for Retsu, Little Fairy and Cang Yue. Their beauties outshine the females in the area. They weren't annoyed just felt a little awkward at some times.
”I never knew this kind of place exist within the empire.” Cang Yue muttered slowly.
”A lot of place exists Cang Yue, you just need to look deeper.” Yun Che said while his hands behind his head. As they were walking, Yun Che couldn't help asking some questions to help Retsu and the others gain insight of this place.
”Village chief. You people are cultivators as well. Why can't you fight those beasts attacking the barrier?” Even if he knew the reason, he still asked the questions to avoid Little Fairy from being curious about him again.
The village chief suddenly stopped and looked at them with eyes of despair. As an old man, Feng Baichuan had his share of despair as long as he lived. The barrier is the only thing protecting the village from outside invasion. Thank god the clan was secluded or else they would perish under the attacks of greedy cultivators. Taking a seat on one of the rocks, he turns to Yun Che with heavy expression.
”Sigh, it's not like we didn't want to fight immortal. It's just we couldn't. Those things are far too strong for us. I've watch those things rip apart the village's men like they were nothing. We couldn't go out to get resources. Demon beast are slowly disappearing since a year ago and we couldn't get any meat because of those things. Good thing the village had a small farm and it was the only thing that could sustained us. In the end, we lived in peace. However, a year ago. Those things started attacking us. They couldn't get through at first but the next few months they came with numbers. The highest cultivation we could achieve in this village is the tenth level of the Elementary Profound Realm. There's no way for us to defeat those in the Narcent and True Profound realm.”
”Impossible, even the slowest cultivator could achieve at least fifth or sixth level of Narcent Profound Realm after achieved the age of thirty. How come you're still stuck on the pinnacle, village chief?” Little Fairy suddenly asked. She really changed once she started following Yun Che. A girl never speaks before is now asking question to others.
”Immortal maiden, this lowly chief told you before that we are from the Phoenix clan. However, that name is nothing more than a burden to us.” He said while looking downwards to the ground.
”Burden? How can such a name be a burden?” Asked Retsu while playing with her braid.
”The truth is, immortals. We are cursed beings.” Feng Baichuan said with a serious expression.
