Chapter 224: The Free Will Demonic Smoke and the Poison Cold Shield
Translator: TransnEditor: Transn
In the sky, Junior Leopard and Jin Yuquan could clearly see a group of uniformed horses and men running straight to Ma Tianchang's central camp from afar. They took out the decree in front of the tent. After a while, Ma Tianchang brought a group of people out of the central camp to tour the army.
”They are really prepared this time,” Junior Leopard said in a low voice glancing at Jin Yuquan.
”Let's go down.” Jin Yuquan laughed and patted Junior Leopard. The golden light was pressed down, and his body was like a meteor falling straight from the sky. The target was Jin's central camp. Junior Leopard activated the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill and the Magic Crane Change of the Nine Changes of Heavenly Birds. He floated down leaving no trace of earthly air.
The weather was gloomy. Ma Tianchang's central camp had some experts at Level Four-Five surrounding it. The strongest was Level Six. They couldn't possibly detect Junior Leopard and Jin Yuquan.
They successfully entered the central camp.
Due to Ma Tianchang's leaving, there were only four personal guards at Level Five in the tent.
The surface area of Ma Tianchang's central camp was several times larger than the other camps. However, its design was simple. There was a large fire basin in the middle of the camp. A small table was placed near the north side of the tent. The north wall had a detailed and complete topographic map of Northern Yuan. Beyond that, there wasn't even an additional chair.
In this central camp, apart from Ma Tianchang, no one else was able to sit down.
The four personal guards were easy to settle. Junior Leopard and Jin Yuquan dealt with two each. Very quickly, they sealed off their acupoints without making a noise. The four personal guards stood as usual like four door-gods without any abnormality.
Without a doubt, this time around, the Immortal Palace's preparations were sufficient. Jin's imperial court was also very cooperative.
This batch of personal guards took over the shift when the imperial court's troops came. They had to stand watch until dawn. Hence, the newly appointed supervisor would delay Ma Tianchang until dawn.
During this time, the entire central camp's defenses were weakest.
”How could Ma Tianchang leave an ancient treasure like the Clear Glass Jade Bottle in the central camp? Logically, he should be bringing it with him,” Junior Leopard asked.
Jin Yuquan replied, ”If it is on him and we don't find it in the tent, we will still receive the remuneration. Other matters don't involve us. However, he won't bring the treasure with him.”
Jin Yuquan seemed very sure of this. Although Junior Leopard didn't quite understand, he didn't ask anymore.
They entered the tent. Though it was a large tent, its simplicity made it easy to take everything in at a glance. There wasn't anywhere to hide an object.
”Crash!”
Junior Leopard smashed Ma Tianchang's table. Apart from wood shreddings, there was nothing else. Following that, he smashed the chair in front of the table to bits.
”Hey, go easy!”
”Don't worry, it's an ancient treasure that could subdue a Mysterious Realm expert. It's impossible that it can't even withstand a strike,” Junior Leopard replied in an indifferent tone.
Jin Yuquan was speechless. Indeed, an ancient treasure of this level, how could it be smashed to bits by Junior Leopard's palm?
”I meant you should keep the sound down,”
Jin Yuquan said helplessly. At the same time, Junior Leopard had already kicked the fire basin to one side. The ashes in the basin scattered on the floor. He picked up the basin and carefully looked at it for a while, but he didn't find anything.
”Ma Tianchang won't put it in the fire basin.” Seeing that Junior Leopard was researching it for a long while, Jin Yuquan began to grow impatient.
”Then what do we do? Dig the ground?” Junior Leopard smiled bitterly.
”It doesn't... what are you doing?”
Jin Yuquan exclaimed. As soon as Junior Leopard threw away the fire basin, his body exploded with a green sword light.
The sword light shot like rain in all directions. Like small daggers, the sharp Sword Qi shredded everything in the vicinity.
”Are you crazy? This is the central camp!” Jin Yuquan was shocked and shouted.
”Star river burning, break!”
Junior Leopard ignored Jin Yuquan, holding an emerald dagger. The sword light was unruly like stars painting a river. In an instant, the entire tent was enshrouded in dazzling starlight.
”This is---!” Jin Yuquan's eyes flashed in wonderment. Though he was a Level Seven expert and had cultivated Gang Qi, things were happening too fast. Junior Leopard suddenly exploded using one of the three killing movements of the Silver Moon Sword Technique. Jin Yuquan didn't have time to prepare, but since Junior Leopard wasn't targeting him, he didn't move.
Drops of dazzling starlight enveloped the entire central camp. Following that, it all violently burst apart.
”Boom, boom, boom...!”
When every drop exploded, it was at least the degree of a Level Six expert attacking with full force. Thousands of starlight drops exploded at the same time producing a power that was not below that of a Level Eight expert's full force.
”You are god damn cra...!” Jin Yuquan exclaimed. Instead of yelling out the last word, he looked around with a stony face.
After this round of explosions caused by the Sword Qi, everything began to dim. The central camp's interior had not changed from before.
The four restricted personal guards were still standing there. The table and chair were still in bits, stacking there. The huge Northern Yuan map was shredded to pieces and landed on the floor. The basin was flipped and the ashes were scattered everywhere. Everything seemed so familiar, yet foreign.
Instantly, Jin Yuquan's expression darkened.
”This is—! ”
”Illusion,” Junior Leopard said gravely. ”The moment we entered, we were caught in the opponent's illusion. It's so realistic that we were not aware of it!”
”Damn it, I was too careless!” Jin Yuquan's face flashed regretfully.
He was the main lead for this operation, the senior in the Immortal Palace, with Level Seven cultivation, and much older than Junior Leopard. Now, Junior Leopard was the first one to discover that something was wrong. If Junior Leopard didn't discover it, like an idiot, he would be searching for it within the central camp, and he might even have dug into the ground. If that was really the case, he would have lost face.
His shame quickly turned to anger.
He violently pressed upon his body numerous times with his hands. Waves of intense pain assaulted his brain. This was the most stupid way of breaking through an illusion, but it was also the most effective.
Although this method brought pain, it didn't have any other effects.
”It looks like a formation. We are caught in a formation!” Seeing Jin Yuquan's actions, Junior Leopard nearly laughed.
”Formation?” Jin Yuquan curled his lips and coldly laughed. ”So what if it is a formation?”
In between words, golden light exploded from his body. A golden rooster appeared within the golden light. Both of its wings flapping, a pair of claws appeared and followed Jin Yuquan's stance, clawing at the ground.
Four Golden Claw.
The first move.
Shredding the ground!
Shining with golden light, the claws violently struck the ground, shredding it from both sides.
The claw's effects were just like its name. Under two claws, the ground trembled. Junior Leopard felt a tremendous amount of energy flowing beneath his feet. He subconsciously moved his body and actually jumped up into the air. Beneath his feet was a piece of green light. He was Reining Sword. Looking at Jin Yuquan, under his claw, the ground was forcefully torn apart.
”Hu---!”
At the instant the ground was shredded, a wave of white smoke flowed out from the hole. It didn't even take a breath's time to cover the entire central camp.
”Let's get out!” Junior Leopard shouted. The green light flashed, rushing towards the exit of the central camp. Jin Yuquan didn't dare to hesitate. Enveloping his entire body in a layer of golden light, he rushed out of the tent.
”Giggle, giggle, you two, since you have come here, are you in a hurry to leave without sitting for a while? You aren't giving face to me!”
A coy laughter sounded out at this moment. At the same time, Junior Leopard and Jin Yuquan rebounded back into the central camp by a soft power. The tent became enshrouded in a thin layer of green gas.
”If you aren't satisfied with the environment here, I can take you elsewhere and treat both of you!”
As the words sounded, the fog began to scatter. They were was no longer standing in the central camp. Instead, they were in a place with mountains and rivers, a beautiful sight to behold.
