Chapter 8: True Ancient Fu
After 12th fired the Chaos Fire Ball, he hid behind Luo Zhan They could immediately hear the dissonant cries and screahtness of the flames, they could see the silhouettes and shadows of the chaos that ensued
Everything calmed down after about five minutes The five Fu Masters and the four other children all looked at each other 12th watched the entrance diligently, saying, “Uncle Luo, let’s retreat to the last section of the cavern as we can’t hold thes so we can gather theh…… even if you can’t collect them all, make sure that they are not visible at the tunnel entrance”
Everyone busied the the balls didn’t take too long, even the ones that they didn’t gather were swept to the side out of sight
Luo Zhan asked, “We did pretty well holding the?”
12th countered with a question of his own, “If you had lost the nue, ould you do?”
Luo Zhan carefully thought it over and answered, “I’d order more powerful people to coroup to enter will be very powerful?”
12th sighed and said, “Exactly, that’s e need to focus solely on dealing with the out of here is quite slieous area as possible” He walked back towards the last tunnel after he finished speaking
Everyone hurried to follow him in This tunnel was incredibly narrow, so much that anyone as somewhat muscular would need to walk sideways to fit At the end of the narroinding tunnel was a small space
After 12th entered, he noticed that it wasn’t dark inside, and there were beaht slipped through the countless cracks and crevices in the stone by reflecting through the cracks The ground was quite flat, and there wasn’t really anything useful to take advantage of 12th signalled to everyone to scatter the ball bearings, and then fix the fish net to the ceiling connected by a rope which controls the net The fishi+ng net had only been through one battle and was already ripped and tattered in places, however, if it was still useable then they definitely would not throw it away
12th touched the ground with his hand, feeling frustrated They could have dug traps had the ground been soil or h They had neither the tih stone
“Huo Bao, the onco battle…… We won’t be able to help so we should hide in that corner first”
12th was the first to ht noe can only have faith in Uncle Luo and the other Fu Masters, if they send in a Great Master level person, then on’t stand a chance fuck this Mysterious Land for not closing yet In any case it’s best not to distract Uncle Luo or the others”
The five children huddled together closely, squatting in the corner of the cavern 12th squatted at the very outskirts of the group According to him, he could perhaps find an opportunity to use a Fu of some kind, or at the very least harass the enemy a little 12th’s level-headedness inspired cal shi+ took out a Fu shi+eld and placed it near 12th to protect him
Huo Bao said quietly, “12th, where did you learn all of this? The traps, the ball bearings…… How come I don’t know any of these weird and wacky ideas?”
12th thought for a moment and said, “Huo Bao, these are just co spectacular…… The really impressive part is the power; in a moment you’ll see what power is and how to use it to solve every single random problem you can possible have”
Chen Bing asked, “We can use Fu Bows to help, why can’t we attack?”
12th sighed, “Using Fu Bows against so as Grandpa Nan Shan…… do you think it’d do anything?
Chen Bing sed his surprise, asking, “Will it be a Great Master co this time?”
Sighing, 12th said, “Hopefully not, for if it isn’t then Uncle Luo and the others can deal with them easily, however if it is then even if we joined in, do you think it would make a difference?
Chen Bing understandood, and replied, “Indeed, having five more children will make no difference whatsoever”
People at the Great Master level were basically unbeatable A Great Fu Master could block ht head on, Fu Masters and Great Fu Masters wouldn’t be on nearly the same level Because of this Luo Zhan and the others awaited the ene what type of person they’d have to face
According to 12th’s idea, three people would lure the eneht one left, lay hidden in ae of the fish net Despite the little bit of light co in, it was still quite dark inside the cavern, so they needed to adjust to the darkness in order to see the surrounding area properly Due to this, they had a slight advantage over the eneard
12th held a Single-use type Fu in his hand as he waited patiently
Soon they could hear footsteps, it was very rhythhtly afraid because only people ere completely confident in their abilities could walk into the unknoith such stability; the footsteps conveyed a sense of straightforwardness and fearlessness, as if it were a‘I’m extremely powerful Prepare yourselves’
An old man appeared at the entrance, both his hands were e tunnels, he said, “Surrender or die! Make your choice!”
Luo Zhan cal a word
The old man took a step forward, and in that moment, 12th let out a shout and crushed the Fu that he was holding, causing a beaht to flash Luo Zhan and the others all closed their eyes the moment that 12th shouted However, the old ht blinded him in that moment
At the same time his front foot landed froht disrupted his s Even if he was Great Master level powerful, he couldn’t stop his foot fro, so his foot slipped as one foot slipped forward uncontrollably whilst the other was planted firround Crash!+ The old s were perfectly horizontal With a woosh, the net from above fell ontop of him
He fell into the trap the leefully happy as he yelled, “Attack!”
The old , experienced countless battles, and yet he had never encountered such a randoht had even started He was getting old and now his bones would hurt like no tomorrow, and as for what fell on his head, he had even less time to consider
Not even Luo Zhan thought that things would go so smoothly as he lifted his Fu Knife and forcefully thrusted it doards At this point they were just hoping that it would be able to hurt hihly unlikely Unfortunately, with one strike of the knife, countless Fu Patterns appeared on his skin, blocking the attack The old man thrust his palm towards the net, which in turn pushed the knife away With that Luo Zhan’s body started to shake froot blasted away from him—he couldn’t withstand such force so he reluctantly retreated
The old round near the net Yan Ge gave a battle cry, and with a Fu Cudgel he forcefully brought it down on hi held a Fu Gun, it was very sporadic, so sometimes not, but it did its job this time The other two Fu Masters used weapons that were rarely seen They brought their metal warhammers down onto the e as he turned his body slightly, evading the gunshot, and with two hands he thrust them up into the air
Crack……crack…… Two sounds could be heard Yan Ge yelled out for them to retreat, but the other Fu Master couldn’t hold the warhah all of that strength was compacted into an old man’s body, and he wasn’t even able to stand firs One foot slipped and the splits happened again It hurt so
Luo Zhan turned his blade horizontally and attempted to strike the old man’s neck
12th took this opportunity to fire a Frost Bolt The ti was perfect as it hit squarely in the old man’s chest The Fu Patterns flashed for a moment and the Frost Bolt turned to dust 12th fired three more in quick succession, but the old man didn’t even care, he stretched his ar he could find, and in the blink of an eye, he ruined 12th’s attack
Everyone understood that if they didn’t wound the man now, they’d be done for sure
The aura surrounding the old ed at all, and so he raised his aran to box He threw some punches and arm thrusts and the five Fu Masters were left helpless
12th fired nine more Frost Bolts, but they had next to no effect as he helplessly watched the oldhe could do Against absolute power, any and all tactics, honourable or otherwise, had no effect
Yan Ge was sent flying across the ground, spitting mouthfuls of blood He was struck in the chest by a palht
Luo Zhan hopelessly tried to attack with his knife, only for the old man to snap the knife in tith a punch, and with a kick to the left hip, Luo Zhan fell to the ground with a cry of pain
The old nificant peasants like you dare to raise your weapons against me?”
In less than ablood as they retreated Thankfully the oldanyone, he wanted to capture and then slowly torture them, to let out some steam
Luo Zhan staggered next to 12th, still holding the broken Fu Knife, he asked, “12th, what do we do now?”
12th answered, “He’s too strong!”
The old ave a kick, laughing coldly he said, “What a treacherous tactic, laying the ground full of ball bearings Alright then, why don’t you surrender!”
12th asked, “Who are you?” as he stood up
The old man surprised, asked, “Was it you who shot the Fu?”
12th nodded, “I’m the only FuZhou user here!”
The old man was even more shocked, “You? FuZhou user? How old even are you?”
12th said, “Nine!”
The old man was so shocked that he couldn’t find the words, because continually firingtraps at the cave entrance or annihilating a dozen people with a single Chaos Fire Ball, if it all came from the hands of this child, it’s far too unbelievable
He said, “I’m the Elder of the FuYe clan – FuYe Chen, what’s your name?”
“Guo 12th!”
FuYe Chen said, “Surrender, if you do, I won’t kill them!” A nine year old child as already this powerful, he really wanted him as a slave
12th calmly said, “If you want me to surrender…… that’s not too much of an issue, however……”
FuYe Chen was very gleeful as he asked, “However what?” It ithin his ability to capture these people, but his curiosity had been piqued by 12th, he wanted to know so he wasn’t hurrying, it was not like they could escape anyway
