Chapter Six Hundred and Sixty Nine – Shen Technique! (2/2)

Pia, the moon essence that had been stopped by the sutra characters suddenly exploded!

The cool moon essence started from within the sutra character sea and spread at a rapid rate!

In a moment, the sutra character sea was covered in frost!

[Moon Frost Essence]!

Shen technique!

Another shen technique!

Ji Zheng’s heart jumped and his expression changed again.

How was it possible?

How was it possible!

When Zuo Mo had cast his shen technique, Ji Zheng had been shocked but was able to face it calmly. But when he discovered that Ceng Lian’er could also use shen techniques, he was completely stunned.

How was it possible!

While the four great sects were still trying to recover shen power, there were two people here that were able to use shen techniques!

What he didn’t know was that Ceng Lian’er’s shen power inheritance was more complete than Zuo Mo’s. After restoring the most important part, Ceng Lian’er’s Moon Shen power inheritance was complete.

She also had cultivated shen techniques!

His mind became unfocused, Ji Zheng showed a weakness!

The frost was like a poison that infected the sutra characters. All of the sutra characters were destroyed and became countless cool moon energies.

The [Sutra Sea Kasaya] that Ji Zheng wore also dimmed. It became as grey as withered leaves and slowly crumbled.

In an instant, two eighth-grade treasures were lost but Ji Zheng could not attend to them.

At this crucial moment, a five colored treasure wheel appeared and managed to stop the moon frost. On the treasure wheel, five colors cycled endlessly as it stopped the frost essence. This was Dai Tao coming to the rescue in time.

Eighth-grade talisman [Five Element Manifestation Wheel]!

This talisman had been originally crafted when Dai Tao had still been a roaming xiu. After he entered Xuan Kong Temple, he studied the sutras and reforged it.

The treasure wheels had five colors that belonged to the five elements. There was a different venerable one within each of the elements.

The Five Element Manifestation Wheel stopped the frost essence. The five elements circulated and dissipated the power of the moon frost.

Ji Zheng relaxed slightly. If they could endure the enemy’s attack, they could take back the initiative! He had never expected that they could cultivate shen techniques. Caught off guard, he had been unprepared. But now, countless records flashed across his mind.

Shen techniques were dominant but they also require great expenditure of shen power. The other would not have the endurance.

Wait … …

An eerie shadow suddenly flashed across Ji Zheng’s mind. He was alarmed. There was one other person … …

Not good!

Suddenly, a strange power silently entered his body from his back!

Ji Zheng’s expression changed!

Dai Tao’s expression also changed!

A Gui appeared behind Ji Zheng like a ghost. Purple energy was visible on her right palm as she pressed it to his back.

From the beginning when A Gui had disappeared, she had not appeared until now. Only appearing to deliver a fatal attack.

Ji Zheng’s body shook and the golden color on his face faded at a visible rate.

At this time, the flower petals stopping the black crow burned up and turned to ash.

There were three black crows left!

Red light flashed through the three black crows. They turned into three streams of light that accurately hit Ji Zheng who had lost the protection of the sutra sea.

Ji Zheng’s body abruptly started to burn. No one noticed that the nine slender golden feathers around the black crows entered Ji Zheng’s body like needles.

“Shixiong!” Dai Tao frantically shouted.

After the successful attack, Zuo Mo did not linger and shouted, “Run!”

Before he finished, a hand appeared behind his neck. A Gui had appeared like a ghost behind him and grabbed his neck.

He felt his eyes blur and then found someone beside him. Ceng Lian’er was grabbed by the neck like he was by A Gui’s other hand.

Ceng Lian’er’s face was slightly pale. Using that shen technique had taken all of her power.

The two smiled at each other.

Detecting the sincerity in Zuo Mo’s smile, an emotion that was not there in the past, Ceng Lian’er felt happier.

Boom!

An intimidating ling power vibration came from behind them.

Shocked, Zuo Mo turned to look back.

A faint Buddha figure that was hundreds of zhang tall appeared where they had been.

The authoritative Buddha glittered with golden light. A vast ling power vibration caused Zuo Mo’s expression to change drastically!

That Buddha figure stared at Zuo Mo with an indifferent gaze.

Zuo Mo felt his heart seize. Suddenly, A Gui increased in speed. The purple energy flashed and Zuo Mo finally felt the pressure decrease.

Ji Zheng was covered by the Buddha figure. The golden feathers that had entered his body were forced out and turned to powder. The Buddha’s figure also disappeared. Ji Zheng’s complexion was pale. Looking at the rock that had shattered into multiple pieces and lost all light, aftering having been unaffected by losing so many other talismans, he finally showed pain for the first time.

The ultimate treasure of Xuan Kong Temple, Buddha Relic, had saved his life.

He suddenly raised his head and said to Dai Tao, “Do not give chase.”

Dai Tao was shocked. While Ji Zheng Shixiong was injured, the enemy had no power to fight back. Even if he was alone, he could capture the three.

Ji Zheng said coolly, “The shen power that last woman cultivates is famed.”

Translator Ramblings: Minor defeat for Xuan Kong Temple. I wonder what animal represents Zuo Mo best … … the golden crows are because he cultivates sun shen power, a turtle?
