Chapter 379 (2/2)

Wang Long laughed out and soon his opponent found himself being shackled by this skill. Both his wrists and ankles were being constrained and Zhang Zhi felt that this attack was even affecting his nascent soul. He was momentarily paralysed and unable to move, he could feel that if he had enough time he could break free but would his opponent give him that?

”Hah, it never fails to get them.”

Wang Long pointed his sword up into the sky and energy started gathering on it. Zhang Zhi could tell that the power behind this skill was massive. Normally he would be able to easily evade it but with these shackles, he was a sitting duck.

”Another one bites the dust!”

Wang Long started swinging his sword down, the massive torrent of energy was about to get discharged but right before he could complete his sword technique another blast of energy approached him.

”What the?”

”Young Master!”

”It's not wise to look away during a fight, old man.”

Elder Tong noticed that Wang Long had been directly hit by a blast coming from the large flying fortress. But as he tried to move to help the young lord he was interrupted by Huo Qiang's fist which he had to block.

”I'm fine old man, no need to scream like a little girl.”

Zhang Zhi was finally able to get himself out of the strange ethereal shackles but the young man that he was facing was clearly alive. After the beam attack subsided his form covered by a thin flickering barrier could be seen. One of the rings he was wearing that was previously quite bright had its gem become cloudy after this attack was received.

”Protective treasures? Did you buy them in the system store or did you receive them from your own sect? Must be nice to go with the easiest starting location.”

The voice of a certain man came from the side and when people turned to it they saw someone that they didn't expect to ever see again, Zhang Dong the Sect Patriarch. Zhang Zhi's eyes went wide and some of the other cultivators that were busy fighting stopped in their tracks.

”From the shop of course? Why would I use the items they give me when I can get better ones from the cash shop… what the hell are you even wearing, first the samurai now armor? What are you supposed to be, a power ranger?”

Zhang Dong approached slowly from the skies. The item he was wearing looked like a more modernized suit of armor that snuggly clung to his body. It was white with golden outlines and had his sect's insignia written out on his back.

”Something like that, it's not too late to leave, I'm sure you could talk to your people and make this blow over.”

”My people? I think you've been living with these NPC's for too long and lost it.”

Zhang Dong frowned as he heard the reply. It didn't feel right to go against someone from his original world but the man was not giving him much choice. It was clear that he was taking this like some kind of elaborate game that came down to gaining points. Even now he was probably wondering if he would get a special bonus for killing an actual system holder.

”I think you are the one that has lost it, fine… Have it your way.”

Liena at this moment was left inside of the large fortress and was giving it some of her spiritual energy to run it. He had given her a crash course about piloting it, only when the attackers managed to blast through its plating was she to leave.

While their reuniting was brief he needed to do this himself. Liena would do more by piloting the large orb of cannons as it could easily keep the enemy ships and some of the nascent cultivators at bay.

”Why would I have it any other way? This is just a playground for me, but you seem to have a different idea… and what's this? Ha ha…”

Wang Long started laughing after Zhang Dong placed a helmet over his face. But it didn't look like his armor was the true reason he was laughing.

”Core formation? You are still only at the core formation level? How am I to get any points if you're below my level?”

Just like Zhang Dong, Wang Long could see his enemies stats and realms. He knew the weakness of that approach though. The system did disclose the realms but this could be misleading if someone like him was involved.

His response was not in words but with a fist to Wang Long's face. The armor that he was wearing started giving out a golden hue and his power was boosted to a new level.

The young master from the Soaring Dragon Sect made a nice arc and landed five hundred meters away. His body slammed into a yet not destroyed building that now crumbled and dropped down on him.

”Go help the other elders Zhang Zhi, leave this idiot to me.”

”As you wish, Patriarch!”

Zhang Zhi nodded and then flew away. He knew that Zhang Dong would be able to bring victory to the sect like he always did. Even if it meant to go against the Azure Emperor he would follow his Patriarch all till the end.
