Chapter 241: The Hollow Celestial Device Teaching Fish to Swim (2/2)

”That's it!” When the verdurous light disappeared and reappeared again, even with Junior Leopard's body still in mid-air, he found the strong spatial fluctuation in the place behind him.

”Damn you!” Junior Leopard roared. His body, which was heading backward at a high speed in mid-air, came to a halt.

The Dragon Flying Technique!

He forcibly stopped his inertia of heading backward and steadied himself in mid-air. However, due to the twin big hammers that he held in his hands, he nearly vomited blood with this hasty halt.

Forcing blood down his throat, he fiercely spun his body. As fast as lightning, he combined his twin hammers and smashed towards space in front of him. At almost the same time as he smashed, the verdurous light appeared precisely in where Junior Leopard had attacked.

”Hollow Travel?! Just enjoy your last travel!” As he roared, blood sprayed out of his mouth while cruel laughter was revealed in his eyes.

”Oh no!”

A low shout, which sounded a bit panic, came out of the verdurous light. The verdurous light showed its transient presence and disappeared, thus the twin hammers came away empty-handed.

”Humph!”

With a cold snort, Junior Leopard spread his arms and waved the twin big hammers, smashing towards the space behind him this time. Just as the time before, the hammers smashed and the verdurous light disappeared as soon as it had appeared. But Junior Leopard made some changes this time.

How lucky I am!

He truly was lucky. Unexpectedly, this attack had the power of a Critical Hit. It was known that only when the pulsing crest of the Heavenly Jade Technique and the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill coincided could a Critical Hit be achieved. This coincidence had only a two percent of chance.

Two percent was just a rough and average probability. It did not mean that if you struck 50 times then a Critical Hit would occur. Among 50 attacks, it might happen the first time, or might happen the last time. Two percent was only a probability that he calculated after punching thousands of times.

To be frank, he had smashed over 10,000 times continuously before and it nearly made him exhausted. Among those 10,000 times, there were only about 200 Critical Hits. He had also tested it a few more times, but the results were similar.

This time, Junior Leopard was pretty lucky enough to achieve a Critical Hit with his following attack. And he also detected that this sudden Critical Hit brought some problems to them.

Hence, the next time when the verdurous light appeared, it kept 100 feet away from him.

Just 100 feet of distance couldn't force Junior Leopard to give up. After another two attacks, he had already landed on the ground. On this occasion when Junior Leopard sensed the mysterious fluctuation when the verdurous light broke open the hollow, he smiled coldly.

He detected the unstable spirit of the space.

It was definitely unstable.

Such a kind of spatial fluctuation would only appear after he had continuously performed the short-haul Three Realms Division for 120 times or the long-haul Division for 18 times.

Once he came across such a kind of spatial fluctuation, he would stop right away. Because if he kept on, then the space would become extremely unstable, and he would be casually transferred to somewhere other than where he had aimed to go. Junior Leopard had drawn this conclusion after he was transferred to the bottom of Luo River when he was practicing one time. Actually, he congratulated himself privately for not being transferred to the inside of a stone or underground that time.

”I'd like to see where you would be transferred to next time!” Junior Leopard sneered. He had already jumped up with his twin hammers towards the destination where the verdurous light flashed before the spatial fluctuation appeared.

This time, the green light didn't disappear. Instead, a cold green light was shot out from it to Junior Leopard's twin hammers again. Obviously, they also understood they couldn't do the Hollow Travel anymore, so they wanted to use the cold green light to withstand Junior Leopard's hammers and then come out from the hollow.

But unfortunately, they had overestimated the cold green light and underestimate Junior Leopard's strength. The twin hammers had drawn a weird arc in the sky, keeping the cold green light away and, at the same time, smashing towards the verdurous light.

That cold green light failed to contact the hammers, then it was too late for them to fight back. But Junior Leopard's iron hammers had severely hit the verdurous light.

”Clang!” A rattling sound resounded. Though it was subtle, Junior Leopard heard it clearly. The verdurous light disappeared again, but Junior Leopard had already wore a victorious smile.

”Hollow Travel?! Why don't you keep traveling now?” He sneered, holding his iron hammers firmly. Then he covered all the courtyard with his spiritual mind.

The Hollow Travel required skill. It also suffered a lot of limits, just like Junior Leopard's Three Realms Division. Though they could travel through the hollow, the distance was short. The Cool Breeze Gang was no exception. As a matter of fact, when traveling through the hollow, they were not so skillful as Junior Leopard.

Whether it was the speed or the efficiency of the travel, they couldn't equal Junior Leopard. Therefore, once they had been fought back by Junior Leopard, they would certainly lose control. And that was what Junior Leopard was waiting for.

...

”How can this be? How can Zhou Bao always discern the time and place about our appearance?” Inside the hollow, Lan Wu, the Mansion Master of the Cool Breeze Gang, together with a First Elder and a Level Seven expert, sat on a big capacious red carpet, cursing.

A Hollow Magic Carpet!

This was the foundation for the Cool Breeze Gang, and the guarantee that helped them run smoothly everywhere at the very beginning. But now, the Hollow Magic Carpet had eerily lost its efficacy. More than that, it even firmly stuck them in the hollow, not allowing them to display their original strength.

”First Elder, we can't wait any longer. Next time, we must rush out!”

”Rush out? How can we? Zhou Bao has employed an unknown way to figure out the rules of our Hollow Magic Carpet. Since the Hollow Magic Carpet is now damaged, it will be harder for us to break out forcibly.”

”It's all up to you, First Elder!” In this case, Lan Wu put all scruples aside and said, ”First Elder, only when you perform your Dragonslayer at its full power can we make an escape from death!”

”I have already tried my best to perform the Dragonslayer just now, but I suffer so many limits in the hollow that I can't do it.”

”Then what should we do now?” Lan Wu's expression became even uglier.

”I can't control the Hollow Magic Carpet any longer. I just wish Zhou Bao couldn't predict where the Hollow Magic Carpet will show up next time. Later, when our Magic Carpet breaks up the hollow, I will try my best to perform the Dragonslayer again. And you guys must rush out recklessly at the same time. Only in this way can you gain the slim chance of survival!”

”Only us? How are you then?”

Lan Wu looked rather pale as he sensed something ominous in the First Elder's words.

”Me? Can there be any other ending left for me? Since we have lost control of the Hollow Magic Carpet, I must use my brute force if we want to break the hollow. After breaking the hollow and performing the Dragonslayer, I will lose all my combat capability.” The First Elder said with a bitter smile.

”But...!”

”There's no time. The Hollow Magic Carpet is about to break the hollow. Get ready. Hurry up!”

All of a sudden, the First Elder pressed the Magic Carpet beneath them with a gloomy look on his face.

A looming fluctuation flashed out from his palm and the verdurous light appeared in front of the Magic Carpet.

...

”Over there!” Inside the courtyard, Junior Leopard looked a bit ruthless. After the fluctuation of the Hollow Travel disappeared for few minutes, it showed up again. This time it got pretty close to Junior Leopard.

Junior Leopard combined his twin hammers together, but instead of rushing out, he faded his body and hid to the side. The fact proved to him that his decision was wise.

Almost at the same time when the verdurous light appeared, the cold green light showed up. Moreover, it covered an area of 30 feet around the verdurous light. If Junior Leopard were to rush out conspicuously, he would surely run into it. Though Junior Leopard's hammers were heavy, they were not as strange as that cold green light, which had broken up the Demon Devil Formation in one flash. So, Junior Leopard didn't dare to let his hammers get in touch with it. After all, you could never be too careful.

Therefore, Junior Leopard just hid to the side and looked at the cold light quietly. He didn't move until he saw two figures go out from the verdurous light as the cold green light faded. Then in a rush, Junior Leopard brandished his hammers and smashed straight out.

Lan Wu and another Level Seven expert were ready with weapons to defend with as they rushed out of the verdurous light, but they encountered no attack and were not blocked. Having gotten out so easily, they could not help but feel relaxed. They thought that Junior Leopard had not predicted the fluctuation of the hollow this time, so they tried to keep calm and stood beside the verdurous light like two doorkeepers.

Doorkeepers!

Two people were not enough. Junior Leopard had long since predicted the fluctuation of the hollow and he thought there would be someone trying to get out this time. So, he'd better not attack prematurely.

All was just as his expectation. Before they could get a firm foothold, Junior Leopard had already brandished his hammers. Due to his position which was just behind the verdurous light, he could smash straight out before they were able to look around.

”Jesus!” The Level Seven expert was first to respond, then Lan Wu. But both of them were too late. By the time they had a response, the verdurous light had already disappeared, but Junior Leopard's hammers hit the green light straight-on.

”Clink, clink!”

This time, the sound of crackling glass was clearly heard. Inside the hollow, the verdurous light came to a halt, and a strange spirit stream began to pervade. Following that there was a spatial fluctuation which was visible to the naked eye.

At this moment, the space was fiddled by an invisible hand, as a paperboard which allowed everyone to play with.

”Clink, clink, clink!”

The ringing sound became clearer and clearer. Suddenly, it disappeared, and so did the spatial fluctuation. In the place where the verdurous light had just been, an eccentric carpet appeared and suspended in mid-air, with a person sitting on it.

The state of suspension only lasted for a moment, and then the carpet along with the person sitting on it fell on the ground, just like a common carpet would do. Following that, there was a ray of verdurous light.

”Gurgle!”

”First Elder!” Lan Wu cried and rushed towards that figure. While the other person, a Level Seven expert, moved to face Junior Leopard. A gloomy and cold light was gleaming in his eyes now.

”It seems that we have misjudged this time,” the man said in a husky voice.

”Yes, you've misjudged! My spiritual mind is born with sensitivity, therefore, few can escape from it.” Junior Leopard smiled. He waved his hands and the Demon Devil Needles, which had scattered all over when they were hit away by the verdurous light, flew back to him. But he was pained to see that half of the needles were broken.

”What is that? It's pretty fierce!” Junior Leopard looked towards Lan Wu and the First Elder, who slid down on the ground, and asked them as if they were chatting.

”It's the Dragonslayer, a Mysterious Level celestial device, one level higher than your Demon Devil Needles.” He answered in a cold voice.
