Chapter 191 – Seventh Selenic Stance (1/2)

Chapter 191 - Seventh Selenic Stance

The Thunderbird Seal was one of the nine most powerful stances the Lu’s possessed. The Myst stance consisted exclusively of specialized runes.

Although to activate the stance only required as much energy to activate any other ordinary Myst stance, the rare specialized runes that composed it translated the energy more efficiently, making it as powerful as an Earth stance.

Lu Qianhuan had no desire to hold back; his brother’s death confirmed Ye Wei’s extraordinary talent. He did not want to leave anything to chance, tried to make the kill as quick as he could and get out of the fight uninjured.

All of Lu Qianhuan’s opponents who saw this stance, including a three-star returned prime Warrior, died from it. The elder left very little to chance, and this was why he was completely ruthless--no chances taken, no hope left.

“Die!” The hoarse voice sounded out like a warhorn. A large bird flew up through the clouds and spread its wings as the the elder screamed the word.

“Crack! Crack!”

The thunderbird vigorously flapped its wings, the fanning motion of its wings created a golden gust. Ye Wei’s Qi sword was instantly crushed and scattered. Unexpected by even Lu Qianhuan, Ye Wei’s sword turned against him because of the raging current.

“Crack! Crack!”

Ye Wei was stunned and almost paralyzed by the sudden burst of energy; under the pressure of the thunderbird, he stood staring while his bones creaked.

“I expected less from you considering how weak your brother was!” Blood gushed out of Ye Wei’s mouth. His pale face wore an aggressive look, though.

“Insolent child!” Lu Qianhuan’s cold eyes bore into Ye Wei. He lifted his hand and pointed his right index finger at him.

“Flop!”

The thunderbird’s eyes widened. Its intense gaze pointed straight at Ye Wei. Its shrill caw sent shivers down his spine.

While Ye Wei was still immobilized by the gust of energy, bolts of lightning came out of the bird’s eyes and rained down upon Ye Wei,striking him in a quick succession.

The pressure Ye Wei endured was great enough to crush his entire body. The only thing stopping it from doing so was the support from the runes on his bones. His veins constricted, and the drop of Supreme blood expanded against the pressure.

The expanding energy circulated throughout his body, a subtle but dense energy held Ye Wei’s body together.

The power of the Supreme blood grew within him. In a matter of seconds, Ye Wei was strong enough to spring back up on his feet. He bent his knees and gathered strength, briefly aimed at the thunderbird and launched himself up into the sky.

“What the hell is going on with this kid?” Lu Qianhuan exclaimed. He was dumbfouned to see Ye Wei’s ability to strike back, but he also mocked Ye Wei at such a poor decision. “Shouldn’t you be trying to run?”

Ye Wei saw the true, unreserved power of Lu Qianhuan. The specialized runes in the elder’s stance was a rare sight. Lu Qianhuan’s power inspired Ye Wei and provided him the conceptual base structure of the seventh Selenic stance.

Although Ye Wei had been spending as much time cultivating as he did trying to figure out the seventh Selenic stance, he was not able to create an effective energy flow in the given runes.

Before Ye Wei’s eyes was a well calibrated specialized Myst stance, he was not going to let the chance slip. He closed his eyes to feel the exact kind of flow he had been trying to create for the past few days.

‘Selenic Armor.’

‘Triple Selenic Punch.’

‘Searing Selenic Palm.’

‘Selenic Descend.’

‘Selenic Ironbark Seal.’

‘Selenic Triple-Primal Sword.’

Ye Wei activated the Falling Star form and began to steal Qi from the very stance that Lu Qianhuan wanted to take his life with. Using the stolen energy, he quickly drew all the runes to the first six Selenic stances; he rearranged the sequence to the order he had in his head all in a matter of minutes.

“The seventh, Selenic Reveal!” He mumbled as he put together the six stances’ essence. The specialized rune sequence rattled and transformed into a mile tall Selenic beast figure.

On top of the beast’s head were three long and sharp horns. The runic patterns on its scalesconstantly flowed and transformed. The beast’s image gave Ye Wei flashbacks of his visit to Bloodmist Valley; he smiled and charged forward the skinny elder.

“Roar!” The Selenic beast’s cold gaze set onto the thunderbird. Its jaws wide open, and its nosepointed right at the thunderbird. The provocative sound seemed to have a mockery undertone.

The Selenic beast crouched then leaped. With a mysterious aura and momentum, the beast lunged at the bird. It froze time and space on its path. The lightning bolts were held still in the air.

“Swoosh!” After another roar, all three horns on its head grew in length. They glowed ghastly green; each of them became a sword that could cut the sky in halves.

Within seconds the Selenic beast’s nose was touching the bird’s torso. The three horns impaled into the core of Lu Qianhuan’s strongest stance. A destructive shock wave and rumble quickly spread throughout the sky.
