1036 Blood Phoenix Shrilling In Peach Mountain III (1/2)
In the fight tonight, Ye Hongyu chose to attack Zhao Nanhai first, the Hierarch right after, and then immediately the middle-aged priest. Even for her it was an arrogant choice because the three figures were so powerful that she could not possibly defeat any of them. Her arrogance seemed ridiculous or even desperate.
But being who she was, how could Ye Hongyu do something ridiculous? Nor did she ever know what desperation was. Then why did she choose to carry out a series of attacks?
Actually, she never changed her goal ever since the beginning! She was not planning to escape, or did she try to leave the Divine Hall of Judgment. Instead of running away, she simply wanted to trap the middle-aged priest!
She wanted to trade the life of the middle-aged priest with another person's life! It was undoubtedly arrogant or even suicidal. Yet she did so no matter what. She had to save that person's life regardless of her own!
Furthermore, she had the Confinement.
As for the fight tonight, she had no support from Heaven since Haotian had already abandoned her. Nor did she had enough support from the human world as the Abbey Dean had dumped her. However, she had geographical advantages.
It was the place they were in. She was standing on the smooth marble floor. She was right inside the Divine Hall of Judgement. And she was the judgement. Tonight she would turn this chilling Divine Hall into a Confinement. The Confinement was no longer the merely most powerful Taoist skill of the Divine Hall of Judgment. It would become a real cage.
The former Great Divine Priest used to confine the former Great Divine Priest of Light for over a decade with his wooden cage. Tonight, she would trap the middle-aged priest in her cage and defeat him.
The middle-aged priest seemed imposing. He applied the Natural Stream Magical Finger like throwing a clay ox into the sea. Upon clenching his fingers and swaying his sleeves, he made a strike of purest and most authentic Taoist Xuan Practice onto the screen of light.
The screen of light was formed from the ground and stained with blood. It was the Confinement.
His sleeves pounded like hummers through the air and thundered in the Divine Hall of Judgment. However he was not able to shake the screen of light.
The middle-aged priest seemed even more solemn upon seeing this. Zhao Nanhai and the Hierarch became extremely pale and came immediately toward him.
They finally realized Ye Hongyu's plan, but would never let her fulfill it. They had to break the Confinement before it was finished. Otherwise if she could successfully cage the middle-aged priest and she might even be able to change the result of the fight tonight.
Xiong Chumo's chest sank deeply while thunders were formed. The pounding power coming from Heaven fell on him and bounced onto the Confinement in a bang.
Zhao Nanhai followed him closely and pushed his palms forward gently while spurting blazing Haotian's Divine Flame. He was about to melt the Confinement with the flame.
The middle-aged priest would definitely not sit on his doom inside the Confinement. He took a solemn look at the dark sky and withdrew the Natural Stream Magical Finger. His fingers trembled like butterflies flapping their wings, and created various shapes of energy by his side.
Three bouts of unimaginably powerful energy appeared in three different shapes and fell onto Ye Hongyu's body almost at the same time as they fell onto the Confinement.
Massive light poured into the Divine Hall of Judgment and lightened up every corner and every detail of the Confinement, as if countless suns had appeared in the dark hall.
Extreme brightness would turn into darkness and blind everyone. Ye Hongyu stood in the center of the brightness and could no longer see anything. Neither did the other three. They could only use their other senses.
More gashes were made on Ye Hongyu's naked body, and more blood gushed out. But she was still emotionless. She stared calmly at the middle-aged priest in the Confinement even if she could not see him.
Her blood dripped onto the floor and flowed along the cracks. It awoke the hidden soul of the Divine Hall of Judgment. Instead of being weakened by the attacks, the Confinement became more solid than ever.
A thundering exclaim was heard all of a sudden from deep inside the extreme brightness. The Confinement was finished. She finally turned the Divine Hall of Judgment into the Confinement, caged her biggest enemy and defended herself. Or perhaps she had also trapped herself in the Confinement, as she wished.
At that moment the middle-aged priest withdrew the butterfly practice and raised his head gradually. The brightness faded while he looked toward the blood-covered Ye Hongyu. And blood was shed from his eyes instead of tears.
Within a few seconds he was already seriously wounded by the Confinement. But he was still calm. So was Ye Hongyu.
She was half naked. And her charming curves were completely exposed in the dark sky, to the moon and stars as well as everyone in the divine hall. But she was not bothered at all.
She let go of the sword. So far, she had made two strikes but failed to hurt Xiong Chumo and the middle-aged priest. So she no longer needed the sword now.
Xiong Chumo and Zhao Nanhai had to give up. Because once the Confinement was finished, she could simply kill the middle-aged priest with a flash of psyche.
The middle-aged priest stared at Ye Hongyu through the chilling light screen for a long while. He felt complicated with admiration, solemness and even sympathy.
”It's meaningless,” he said.
Ye Hongyu said, ”Xiong Chumo and Zhao Nanhai are nothing but jackals. It is of course meaningless to take their lives. But as for you, my Uncle, it's different. The Abbey Dean would need you alive.”
The middle-aged priest looked at her sympathetically and said, ”Even so, it was too late. Long Qing should have carried out the sentence in Song by now. Even if the Abbey Dean would be so kind to spare my life, it is meaningless now.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Hongyu was silenced.
”Furthermore, you cannot cage me.” The middle-aged priest reached for something beneath his clothes and sighed. ”That's why it's meaningless.”
Ye Hongyu stared at his hand and frowned, ”You can't break the Confinement.”
”When Wei Guangming escaped from Peach Mountain he said, 'Bright as I am, how could the Confinement keep me trapped?' I am not more powerful than the former Great Diving Pries of Light. And your Confinement is definitely more powerful than the previous one. But you still cannot trap me.”
When he took his hand out he was holding a tome.
No one knew what the tome was made from. But it was not crushed during the horrifying fight previously. It was hard to tell whether it was new or old. But there was something mysterious and divine about it.
The middle-aged priest looked at the tome in his hand and seemed hesitant and sorry.
Ye Hongyu vaguely realized what that tome was and turned pale.
”I will eventually be freed if I stay in a Confinement long enough,” the middle-aged priest finally made up his mind and chanted. Together with the chanting he opened the first page of the tome. The moment the tome was opened, the page was burnt into ashes.
A pounding power spurted from the burnt page like Tianqi and bombed onto the Confinement. But it was even more powerful than Tianqi!
Upon a bang the Confinement started shaking.
Seeing this and sensing the mythical power of the tome Ye Hongyu realized that she was right. She got stern and said, ”How dare you to use the Arcane Tome as a weapon?!”
She was right. The tome that middle-aged priest was holding was an Arcane Tome.
It was the Arcane Tome of the Fall!
A single page fall could shake the entire world not to mention the Confinement!
Ye Hongyu reached out her arms and swayed her Gown of Judgment. Her pouring black hair also swung. She was trying to fight against the Arcane Tome with the Confinement!
The middle-aged priest was also extremely solemn because he realized that a single page of this Arcane Tome was not enough to break the Confinement. Therefore he had to continue burning the Arcane Tome! The Arcane Tome of the Fall turned into ashes one page after another. Countless and endless ultimate power was released and splashed around the Divine Hall.
The middle-aged priest witnessed the Arcane Tome of the Fall become thinner and thinner in his hand and felt extremely painful.
