Chapter 305 – Black Tortoise Punch (1/2)
This time, Wu Junxiao had dissipated completely, leaving behind no trace at all.
Sadness was visible in the eyes of the Black Dragon King. They had been friends for so many years, after all. Moreover, witnessing the demise of Wu Junxiao, he also felt the sympathy for a like-minded person.
Fatty released Purple Bell’s soul and the girl respawned almost immediately at the forced respawn point of the Natural Barrier. The other players also exited the Elemental Mystery Realm to watch the Black Dragon King deal with Fortune Battle Fence.
The native monsters of the Sea Territory of Evil could not get out of this area unless they reached the Legendary realm, which granted them the power to rival that of the light barrier surrounding it. On the contrary, Fortune Battle Fence could come and go freely as an outsider. However, he didn’t dare to. A strike from the Black Dragon King’s main form could at least render him heavily incapacitated, if not insta-kill him.
After fighting for a while, Fortune Battle Fence grudgingly retreated, obviously angry that he couldn’t get his hands on any of the players’ Divine weapons.
Looking at the empty sky, Fatty fell silent for a while, before he bid goodbye to the Black Dragon King.
The Black Dragon King acknowledged with a nod. He summoned several Yao monsters and had them carry the players to the entrance of the water route leading to the other side.
“Don’t forget our agreement,” said the Black Dragon King to Fatty right before they parted.
Fatty cupped his fists in silent assent.
Exiting the Natural Barrier, the group tore their Recall Scrolls and flew back to Azure Dragon City.
“We lost out big time today,” sighed TheFugitive as the party walked out from the respawn point.
“Lose what? At least we got to set fires to their place.” HeadofGod shook his head.
“Wait, I remember that diagram of yours is still holding one of those fellows captive?” DukeGarrison suddenly asked Fatty.
Fatty smacked his own forehead. Wu Junxiao had imprisoned a God-tier Undying Soul within the Elemental Sword Formation, and the fellow was still trapped inside. “Go, let’s find the Black Tortoise City Lord and get this soul fellow concocted ‘properly.’”
Fatty and his friends didn’t have to strength to handle the Undying Soul yet. They needed someone powerful to bring up the rear.
“What? A God-tier soul?” Lin Xi’s eyes lit up upon the news. He urged Fatty to hurry and let the soul out.
“Wu Junxiao! Think you can oppress me with your meager strength?!”
A roar resounded the instant the soul charged out of the Elemental Formation, a blinding arc of light sweeping out from his hands. This was a very practiced slash attack from the ninja Undying Soul.
“What a petty trick.” Lin Xi casually waved his hand. The light blade soundlessly disintegrated in mid-air, leaving the Undying Soul with a terrified expression.
“Th-this isn’t our shrine.” The soul quickly scanned the surroundings and his face grew even more frightened. “What is this place?”
“Welcome to Xuanhuang Ancient Country. I am City Lord Lin Xi.” Lin Xi leisurely leaned back in his seat and looked at the soul.
“Black Tortoise City Lord of Xuanhuang Ancient Country?” With an off-worldly scream of shock, the God-tier Undying Soul abruptly shot into the air, choosing to escape without hesitation.
“What’s the rush?” Lin Xi extended his hand with his palm spread open and made a pressing-down motion. A dull thud rang out – a mass of yellow fog suddenly flashed in the air and welcomed the Undying Soul with a head-on crash. The poor soul fell back onto the ground, rolling and whining in pain.
“Sacred beast Black Tortoise…” uttered the Undying Soul as the fear in his eyes was clearly visible. He didn’t dare to make a move again.
“Submit, or die!” Lin Xi stood up and swung his arms with wide sleeves. Instantly, the winds blew and the clouds drifted, creating the background for a huge Black Tortoise’s illusion behind Lin Xi.
“I, a grand general of the Sun Dynasty, hold glory above all else. How can I surrender to you despicable people of Xuanhuang?!” the Undying Soul stretched his neck and barked. For the second time, he suddenly flew up and just vanished. In his spot, an intense blade light shot out from thin air
“Snowstorm Universe!”
Snowflakes began to emerge from the sky. Palm-sized, translucent and shining with a blinding white, each snowflake was like a razor-sharp blade with incomparably destructive force as they bombarded in all directions, covering the entire city lord manor and everyone in it.
“Stealing the lost skill of our Xuanhuang Ancient Dynasty, you are a thief with a deathwish.” Lin Xi looked nonchalant even in this situation. He slowly raised his right hand, clenched it into a fist and violently punched out. “Black Tortoise Great Earth Punch!”
Along with Lin Xi’s motion, the Black Tortoise illusion behind him suddenly raised its head and rolled its eyes. Then, it opened its mouth, from which came a heaven-shattering roar.
“Roaahhhh!”
With this roar that shook heaven and earth, the sky full of snowflakes halted for a split second, before it thoroughly exploded.
“Ahhhh!”
A wretched scream resounded. The Undying Soul fell out of the sky with a ferocious expression.
“Hah! Nation of Execution Blades!”
A blinding light burst out from his body and swept in all directions. Without any time to react, Fatty’s group was swept along with it.
The surrounding was completely empty, without mountains and trees, rivers and grass; there wasn’t even a sign of any living creatures. In the vast vicinity, there were only blinding lights from dancing blades that blotted out the sky.
“Black Tortoise City Lord, come out and fight with my Nation of Execution Blades if you’ve got the guts!”
“Nation of Execution Blades? You call this a nation?” Lin Xi snorted. With unhurried steps, he strode into the land of blades and stood in front of Fatty and his friends.
“Flow of Ten Thousand Blades – The Way of Unsheathing!”
