Chapter 464: Returning in the Exorcist’s Mountain Pass (II) (2/2)
One could see that in this mere instant, Long Haochen’s right hand shone like a golden crystal. With a sharp sound of hiss, a bolt of sword qi was shot in the emptiness, and an orange glint of light protected Long Haochen under its scope.
Pop. The golden sword aura directly hit Sheng Yue’s palm, encountering no obstruction and delaying his right claw-like hand. At the time this right claw descended for the second time, and what it hit was the Shield Wall erected by the Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon.
Long Haochen’s Shield Wall ability was unleashed almost instantly. With the addition of his full power sword intent strike, Sheng Yue’s right hand only managed to streak across the surface of the Shield Wall. The Divine Snail Shield of Sun and Moon let out another orange glow of light, pushing him backward without any harm inflicted to Long Haochen.
The coordination of the whole team was displayed right then. Although no one understood why Sheng Yue would act against Long Haochen, their experience fighting side by side was really plentiful. Down to the extent that right after Long Haochen just started to act, the others immediately followed.
Sima Xian’s right hand was swung, letting the Energetic Ball of Light liberate strident noises as it smashed toward Sheng Yue. And it simply obstructed his way, letting him no way to keep attacking Long Haochen.
A resonant phoenix cry followed instantly, Lin Xin having no hesitation to trigger his Phoenix of Heart of Fire. Facing a powerhouse of the ninth step , was there another choice but to go all out from the beginning?
Han Yu’s Scarlet Wild sword carried a frantic aura, as it chopped forward, in front of Sheng Yue’s path, aiming at his knees.
Wang Yuanyuan’s Divine Soul Shield flew over, aiming straight at Sheng Yue’s neck. Han Yu and the rest were covering the top and the bottom, and with the addition of Sima Xian, they could be said to have stopped all Sheng Yue’s possible routes.
What shocked Sheng Yue the most was that at the same time these little guys reacted, overflowing flames burst out. The terrifying might of the Devil Dragon filled the whole room almost instantly. To say nothing about the mere room, the whole Assassin Temple ought to have sensed the presence of this dragon might.
Cai’er was the only one who didn’t make any move. She was still in a completely dull state, standing unmoving foolishly, and thinking of something no one knew about.
Sheng Yue was indeed worthy of his reputation of Assassin Temple chief. Facing the siege of these youngsters, despite his inner shock, his reaction wasn’t slow at all.
His feet slightly moved, and in a flash after avoiding the Energetic Ball of Light ramming from the side and pushing it with his right hand, his body floated horizontally, kicking with his both feet at Wang Yuanyuan and Han Yu’s attack
These youngsters were still only at the sixth step of cultivation. Sheng Yue having reached the ninth step, although he didn’t look down on them, he wouldn’t possibly use his full strength against opponents of this level! So he only used the most basic spiritual energy operating, reacting by the means of his instinct.
But against Sheng Yue’s expectations, he was too careless. He had indeed underestimated the 64th commander grade Demon Hunt Squad too much, especially the formidable power of Sima Xian’s Energetic Ball of Light.
When Sheng Yue tried to cut through it, in his imagination, this weapon had to be very heavy, but Sima Xian’s spiritual energy was bound to it, so he would surely be sent flying. Drawing force from the propelling power following his attack, he would kick the two attacks from the flanks, after that dealing with the hissing phoenix unleashing blue fire would be no issue.
But the instant after his right hand came into contact with the Gigantic Ball of Light, Sheng Yue realized his mistake. That stupid-looking weapon was actually a lot more frightful than he imagined.
With strident sounds of blast, Sheng Yue felt a powerful force shake his hand. This was the Crush, Absorption and Triple Blast abilities from the Gigantic Ball of Light.
If it was only that, Sheng Yue wouldn’t sustain any wounds with his spiritual energy over a hundred thousand units. More crucially, at the time of using the Energetic Ball of Light, Sima Xian utilized his Spiritual Stove of Purple Godly Thunder. Therefore, the instant Sheng Yue’s right hand touched it, purple lightning suddenly burst out, ramming straight at his palm to spread widely into Sheng Yue’s whole body.
With such strength of spiritual energy, wounding Sheng Yue was unthinkable for the Spiritual Stove of Purple Godly Thunder. However, the paralysis triggered by the thunder took effect.
To a powerhouse at the level of Sheng Yue no detail could be deemed insignificant in times of battle. Even if it made contact for less than a second, this shook off his whole plan.
The two feet he shot in the air went numb, before colliding with the Scarlet Wild Sword and the Divine Soul Shield.
