Chapter 432: Breaking Out from the Gourd (2/2)
This time, Zhou Bao was not going to use his Golden-Scaled Cudgel again. Since he had already exercised his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword, he had no need to hide it any longer.
Thinking about this, Zhou Bao transformed himself into a cyan shadow in a flash. Pointing the guiding direction with one finger, the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi, that had transformed into a Sword Blade Storm, instantly regrouped together and turned into a huge black and red sword. Following the direction pointed by Zhou Bao, this black and red sword fiercely hacked the meadow of black mist that had been rounded up previously. Then, without a break, it launched another round of attack at the boundary of the entire space.
On the seabed, in the Water Mansion.
The Water Mansion of Master Jinhua was pretty spacious and extravagant, a bit like the legendary Dragon King Palace. In this Water Mansion, a lot of marine demons that assumed human forms were shuttling to and fro. Among them, some were guards looking like brutes, whose strength might not have reached the Metaphysic Individual Immortal Realm, but most were above Level Seven; some were footboys running menial errands, whose cultivation was at least at Level Four or even exceeded Level Seven. If they lived on land, they could be Junior Masters that had domination in a few localities, or even secured a post of Elder in a medium-sized well-known family like the Wu Family. Also, there were many maidservants in colorful clothes. Their strength were also pretty high, most of them were at Level Four or Level Five, but some had also broken through Level Seven and entered the Expert Realm.
The moment Master Jinhua and Lan Shui'er began to descend from the sea level, people in the Water Mansion seemed to have received the signal—a bunch of footboys and maidservants galloped outside, lining on both sides of the street to welcome the two.
”Fairy Lan, look, what do you think of my Water Mansion as compared to your Tusk Island?”After descending down into the water, Master Jinhua asked with pride.
”My Tusk Island is remote and desolate in the first place. If you want to compete, it is better to do so with Shui Sheng's Water Mansion. Among the 18 Dragon-bone Regions, his locality is the most luxurious!”
”Eh, him? Hehe, forget it. He is the god of wealth in your 18 Dragon-bone Regions. How could I compete with him?” Speaking of Shui Sheng, Master Jinhua instantly ran out of patience. Just as the two were about to enter the Water Mansion, Master Jinhua's expression suddenly became stern. He let out a yell, abruptly looked down and fixed his eyes on the small gourd hanging on his waist.
This small gourd started vibrating, and Master Jinhua's look grew serious. ”Shit!” He barked. As if having sensed the danger inside the gourd, he raised a palm and harshly slapped it.
This gourd was a Pure Yang Celestial Device that had long been connected to his heart and mind after experiencing his refine for myriads of years. At this point, in the gourd, Zhou Bao already defeated all the black mist by operating the Sword Blade Storm he just comprehended by himself. He also identified the truth about the space in this gourd and swung his Sword Qi to slash at the boundary of this internal world.
Master Jinhua sensed that things were not going well in his gourd. Thus, he slapped on it, causing the black mist, which just escaped the restriction of Sword Blade Storm and was hacked to pieces, to instantly assemble together and turn into a huge black mist snake, charging right at Zhou Bao for a bite.
”F*ck off!” The Sword Qi made its strike. With the Natal Sword of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword suspending behind his head right now, Zhou Bao looked incomparably sharp and intimidating, just like a peerless magic sword. Seeing this mist snake fling itself at him, Zhou Bao just gave a derisive laugh and swished the sharp Sword Qi, easily cutting the snake in two. Then, the Sword Qi divided into many streams to disrupt the mist, throwing it into a total mess so that it could never pose threats on Zhou Bao anymore. Meanwhile, the Sword Qi Zhou Bao just slashed out had already reached the boundary of this gourd.
”Clunk!” The golden gourd gave a gentle shudder and a visible crack appeared on the surface of it.
”What...” Master Jinhua, who just gave a clap on the gourd, was astonished. He sensed some danger was coming, but never expected it would come so soon. Given that this gourd was a Pure Yang Celestial Device, its shell should be very solid, and he knew perfectly well how solid it was. Nevertheless, it never occurred to him that the expert with a mere Level Nine cultivation, who had been absorbed into his gourd, could have such power to damage this celestial device.
Despite that, there were more shocking moments in store for him. Zhou Bao's slash movement was very effective. Although it did not thoroughly cut open this space, Zhou Bao felt a wisp of pale blue light trickling from the present world.
Without hesitation, Zhou Bao made a second slashing movement with his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi. This time, it completely demolished the gourd.
From outside, the surface of this golden gourd had many thin streaks of visible lines and cracks. Very soon, they spread all over the gourd.
”No!” Master Jinhua growled. But it was too late. Nothing could save his gourd. When Master Jinhua's second clap made contact on the gourd as a last-ditch attempt, Zhou Bao's third attack made by his Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword Qi had already given the gourd a finishing blow.
”Boom!” The gourd burst open. The black mist inside it flooded out, soon enveloping the entire Water Mansion.
