Chapter 304 – Fortune Battle Fence (1/2)
A vast array of five-colored sword lights amassed. Like the great river of Yangtze, they surged down and shrouded the six Undying Souls.
“Ahhhhh!”
Miserable shrieks rang out as the swords landed. Except for the Undying Soul whose form had been destroyed into black fog, the other five channeled their energy at the same time towards the Plate of Reincarnation, controlling it to shoot out endless black-and-white smoke to resist the five-colored sword lights.
Pfff! There was no thunderous explosion as one would have expected when the sword lights and the smoke met. Like a clay ox entering the sea1, they vanished without a trace.
“This is?” The Undying Souls were at a loss.
Fatty sighed in his heart, knowing Wu Junxiao indeed didn’t have any more energy to sustain the diagram attacks.
“Get out of here!” Wu Junxiao shouted. The Elemental Sword Formation suddenly activated, forcefully removing the five Undying Souls plus the Plate of Reincarnation out of its territory.
“You!” The remaining Undying Soul in his black fog form jumped in fright. With practiced movement, he hastily slashed out a blade light, wanting to break an opening through the sword formation and escape.
“Wanna run?” Wu Junxiao coldly snorted. The Elemental Sword Formation rumbled and started to rotate slowly. A vast area of ocean abruptly appeared out of nowhere, blocking the Undying Soul’s path and forcing him back into the formation.
Cling clang…
A burst of metallic sounds echoed. Per the urging of Wu Junxiao, an infinite stream of water swords flew out from the ocean and firmly pinned down the black fog Undying Soul.
“Go!” Successfully detaining an Undying Soul, Wu Junxiao began to control the Elemental Sword Formation to break out and escape this place.
“Wu Junxiao, since you’ve come, there’s no need to leave in such a hurry.” A strong force suddenly appeared and tightly pressed down upon the sword formation. Under the pressure, the sword formation was unable to rise no matter how hard it tried.
“Fortune Battle Fence.” Wu Junxiao coldly spat and terminated the operation of the formation.
In the middle of the shrine, from the memorial tablet on the highest position of the altar table, a wisp of black smoke slowly rose, gradually gathering into a human figure in the air.
Dressed in the national costume of Sun Dynasty, Fortune Battle Fence sat cross-legged in mid-air. The forehalf of his head was completely bald and the other half dragging a braided pigtail, similar to the queue hairstyle. Both his looks and getup were like that of an old country bumpkin.
“Wu Junxiao, long time no see,” Fortune Battle Fence greeted as he looked at the Elemental Sword Formation
“Heh, after you were lucky to escape from me last time, I thought you would dedicate your heart to training and growing stronger, and wondered if you had made any progress. Can’t believe you’re still in this half-dead state,” Wu Junxiao ridiculed without any courtesy.
“Still better than you who will soon die down to the last bit of your soul.” Fortune Battle Fence slowly stood up. The overwhelming force imposed upon the Elemental Sword Formation intensified, pressuring it to the ground.
“Kill me down to the last bit of my soul? With just you?”Wu Junxiao laughed condescendingly. All of a sudden, white light burst forth from his body, and the sword formation violently rumbled. Surprisingly, it forcefully broke through the pressure from Fortune Battle Fence and fled the Shrine of Peace, flying up into the sky.
“You’re burning your own Divine power.” Fortune Battle Fence was calm as he slowly stepped into the sky, his eyes following the Elemental Sword Formation with murderous hatred, as if penetrating straight through it to see Wu Junxiao. “After you burn up your Divine power, what will be left of you?”
“It’s not something you should worry about. Little Fatty, watch carefully. Elemental Sword Formation, neutralize and reinforce, One Sword Breaks the Firmament!”
Along with the loud roar of Wu Junxiao, the sword formation shook nonstop. The Metal Forest, Wood Forest, Watery Deep, Fire Valley, and Earth Mountain appeared all at once before they exploded in unison into five elements, which finally merged in the air, forming a massive sword roughly 10 kilometers in length.
“Cleave!”
Wu Junxiao’s right hand chopped down, and a burst of white light poured out from his body and gushed into the sword. With a thunderclap out of nowhere, the sword emitted radiant light, looking like a long white streak across the sky as it slashed down. It seemed like it was really going to cut the sky in half.
“Wu Junxiao, looks like you really don’t have much energy left. I won’t feel proud if I kill the current you.” Fortune Battle Fence’s expression remained unchanged as he looked at the massive white sword. Slowly, he extended a hand.
Boom! In the hand of Fortune Battle Fence, the sword that seemed so aggressive, shattered like glass, turning into countless thin streaks of sword aura that split in all directions.
Having spent most of his remaining Divine power, Wu Junxiao’s face grew ashen pale. Seizing the chance when Fortune Battle Fence parried the remaining streaks of sword aura, he spurred the Elemental Sword Formation to take a leap straight out of Sun Dynasty territory and into the air above the East Ocean.
“Still running?” Fortune Battle Fence’s tone was as indifferent as ever. With five fingers hooked, he flipped his hand. A sky-blotting giant claw suddenly appeared and grabbed toward the Elemental Sword Formation.
Raising his head for a cold glance at the claw, Wu Junxiao’s face seemed even paler. In the end, he was only a last bit of consciousness with nearly exhausted Divine power.
“Even a shrimp dares to make fun of a shark in shallow water, even a dog dares to bully a tiger out of the mountains,” Wu Junxiao sighed. His body suddenly dissolved into a mass of pure Divine power. “The five elements go extinct, the world is thrown into chaos, Great Elemental Extinction Formation, rise!”
Wu Junxiao’s voice echoed in the air, and Elemental Sword Formation quaked violently. Dazzling metal, verdant greens, deep blue water, scorching fire, and thick soil; the manifestation of the five elements appeared respectively in five directions in the sky, and then exploded in unison. Sword lights shot everywhere as the Elemental Sword Formation turned into a messy scene.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
