Chapter 164 - Risky Array of Root Praying, Sharp skill of Fire Spirit (2/2)
“Yes!” As he spoke, another two men also put out a small flat separately, stuck it into the earth and entered the circle to dance the weird steps with the other three.
“What’s going on!” Liu Shuai shrieked abruptly.
As the three evolved to five, the bamboo leaf trembled as if winnowing the chaff. It looked like being sucked forcefully, and on the leaf appeared vaguely some cracks.
Xiao Hong, at the sight of that, hastily drew a circle in the air with his fingertip, which sparkled faintly flakes there. But when the circle was finished, inside the circle a ground stroke into the air with a bamboo forest cultivated there. It was nothing but the purple bamboo forest of Avalokitesvara settled in the South Sea.
Xiao Hong led with his hand, and within the earth came out a thin thread transparent and shiny. It flew from the earth into the chest of Xiao Hong, then went out through the middle of his brows and entered the bamboo leaf. So that the leaf got stable.
“No way! The Root Praying Method can never be so powerful as it is!” Xiao Hong, after getting connected to the bamboo leaf by the thread, sat down with his legs crossed and sensed for a few minutes. His brows crumpled and he said, “Their Root Praying Method is at least score times more powerful than what I learned before. But how?”
“Score times?” Hao Ning questioned, “Why? Even if the five people dance together, they get power five times stronger at most. Where does the score times come from?”
“I don’t know, Brother Hao Ning.” Xiao Hong closed his eyes and uttered, “We’ve underrated our enemies. Brother Ling Zhu Zi!” As he called out, Xiao Hong cast a spark of his consciousness into the middle of Nezha’s brows, “If I am defeated later, do that.” Finishing it, he closed his eyes again and contemplated the spell, speechless.
“Big Bro!” Their rivals seemed a bit tired, “It’s not going well. Looks like some other stressful opponents have taken their parts. We’re struggling now!”
“Even when equipped with Root Praying multiplied by 16 times?” Then the Big Bro’s eyesight was somewhat stirred, “What elites are they in the end?”
“Big bro, how about we stop here?” Another guy asked tentatively, “They’re so powerful. Maybe we couldn’t afford to offend them.”
“Nonsense!” The big bro stared at him, “At whom in the world have we Split Sect ever flinched? All entre the array with me! I don’t believe that we’ll fail!”
At his order, another man put out a small flag with him and they stuck them into the earth. On the ground, there were seven small flags in total fluttering in the wind. The wind blew into the hall, and Xiao Hong got a tingle in his heart, “Eh? Is that—”
At that moment Xiao Hong went absent and was about to disarm. He hurriedly calmed down and stopped wandering.
After the seven danced together, Xiao Hong screamed, “How that! It was fortified by thousand times!”
With a boom, Xiao Hong and the leaf disappeared together. Meanwhile, the fire-fringed circle faded away, too, losing the support of Xiao Hong’s power.
All came about in such a sudden. Before Hao Ning and others recomposed themselves, Xiao Hong had already appeared in front of the several guys. While the leaf had landed lightly at the center of the seven flags, still.
“You are…?” The big bro didn’t recognize Xiao Hong at first sight. It was reasonable because Xiao Hong looked literally like a young clerk in his suit, who would ever recognize him? But when seeing the pile of fluttering bamboo leaves coming from the array, his cheek turned pale and withdrew a step backwards, “What’s your relationship with Ava…with the great spirit?”
“Yuck!” Xiao Hong sighed secretly. He was only trying to save Long Fei’s life, so naturally, he didn’t exert his forte. But since he’d shown up and didn’t fear the gang in front of him, besides, he used to be a bald offender who even dared to have a taste of Tang Sanzang’s flesh, so how might he even care about the several slight men here?”
“Who the hell are you?” Another guy who failed to see the truth shouted, “How dare you remain silent at my big bro’s question?”
“Shit! Want to notify your comrades?” Xiao Hong’s eyes flashed and pointed at the sky. They saw a red glimmer broke out above Dragon King Temple, which was shaped as a sphere covered the temple. In no time, with some crackles, several tiny spots appeared in the red light. They touched the light and burst into flame, then all faded away. Apparently, they were trying to notify their mates outside but were blocked by the light.
“The Great Seal of Samadhi True Fire!” The big bro shrieked, “You’re an Innate Fire Spirit!”
The rest, who heard their big bro’s word, couldn’t help with being stunned, and the buzz arose among them.
“What to do now, big bro?” One of them asked quietly, “Shall we retreat?”
