Chapter: 1410 (1/2)
AST 1410 – Qing Shui Took Action, Phoenix Cry Sonic Attack, Reversal
After using the Spring Comes Upon A Withered Tree, the old man was as if he had rooted to the ground. It was as if he the roots he had sent out could extend to a large area around him.
Grand Melody Eruption Technique!
The longsword that lady, who was like demoness, held onto, suddenly struck out with a profound melody. Everywhere it passed by, the surroundings would turn into a grey-white color that seemed to be a sickly color, without any hints of vitality.
Eternal Spring Palace’s Second Elder didn’t dare to let down his guard and suddenly extended out his two hands. Two rows of huge green wood, that were several tens of meters long, grew out before his palms, surrounding them.
Eternal Spring, Grow!
Explode!
The lady abruptly swung the longsword in her hands, letting out a soft bellow!
Boom boom boom…
A series of loud explosions rang out and the protection from the green wood gradually shrank. However, its destructive prowess got increasingly weaker as well. By the time the green wood had disappeared, there wasn’t much prowess of the Grand Melody Eruption Technique left either. Despite this, it still pushed the old man back two steps.
Soul Capture!
The lady swung her hands fiercely again and her wrists moved with great agility.
Although the Eternal Spring Palace’s Second Elder had the Grand Silent Buddha, this time around, its effect didn’t seem to be as powerful as before. The Divine Sound Sect’s attacks were mostly spirit energy attacks and in this world, people who primarily cultivated their spirit energy were generally fewer in numbers.
Divine Sound, All-Pervasive!
The lady’s seductive body sashayed as if she was in a slow dance. It seemed as if she was performing a sword dance, yet it was also as if she was a fairy who was gliding across the air. Her beautiful appearance would make one lose themselves while watching her.
Entangled Roots!
The silhouette of the old man from the Eternal Spring Palace seemed to become even smaller and he was encompassed by a gigantic tree which exuded strong vitality.
“Everyone press on and seize these few ladies so that the demoness will be distracted. This can let Second Elder defeat her at a faster speed,” shouted the Eldest Martial Brother from the Eternal Spring Palace.
“Yes! We must use these ladies to threaten her. I don’t believe that she won’t submit to us then.” Another voice shouted out as well. The frequency and the strength of their attacks increased tremendously.
“Sisters, we must hang onto our defense and not let Eldest Martial Sister be distracted. Eldest Martial Sister, there’s no need to care about us. Otherwise, it’ll just be a useless sacrifice. Kill as many of them as you can. If you wish to leave, they won’t be able to stop you anyway. You can find another chance to seek vengeance for us in the future,” the lady playing the zither said slowly. She appeared very calm, as if she didn’t care about life or death.
“You can go be a cuckold in the other world! Look at that big green hat that you’re wearing! [1]”
After saying that the lady appeared in the middle of the group with a flash, cutting off a person’s head with a single strike.
“Second Elder, save me!”
“Demoness! You’re courting death!”
Eternal Spring Palace’s Second Elder brought out a strong and old-fashioned wooden cane.
Witherwood Chant!
A stream of yellow aura locked onto the lady’s body.
Sure Kill Heavenly Technique!
The old man used his Sure Kill Heavenly Technique.
The abilities of the old man and the demoness were both at 10 million sun. They were each powerful existences in their respective sects and with a strength of 10 million sun, they would be considered to be powerful existences no matter where they went. At their level, even if they were to have a Sure Kill Heavenly Technique, they would only have one.
The old man had now used it up.
The Witherwood Chant could rapidly weaken the target in all areas. Moreover, once used, the target would be weakened by 30%. The more powerful the target, the faster they would be weakened. Even if they didn’t move, their depletion would still increase by five times, until their strength had been weakened to the level of an ordinary person. One day later, if the target was still alive, then they would automatically recover.
Prison of Wood!
The old man swung his hand once again and the surroundings became a huge prison made from green wood, imprisoning everyone.
After doing all this, the old man appeared a little weak. If the lady were to attempt to break through in this case, she would definitely deplete a lot of her power. After being hit by the Witherwood Chant, even if she were to break through the prison, she would also lose 90% of her strength. When that happened, he would be able to deal with her with great ease.
In a battle between cultivators, strength and endurance were very important but so were battle techniques. Victory or defeat could be easily determined with powerful battle techniques, just like the Sure Kill Heavenly Techniques.
The lady had a Sure Kill Heavenly Technique but it was a pity that her strength had been weakened by a lot. Therefore, even if she were to use it, she wouldn’t be able to reverse the situation. The rate of her depletion would become even faster. Sure Kill Heavenly Techniques tend to use up 10% of the user’s strength. For those who were powerful, losing 10% was nothing to them and it could last very long. However, it was different now that she had been hit by the Witherwood Chant. If she were to use 10% of her strength, she would probably be left with not more than 40% of her power.
The loss of her strength made her feel anxious. She wasn’t afraid of death but that she wouldn’t be able to die a peaceful death. She was afraid that she might not even have the option of suicide.
“Haha, demoness. Look, your sisters are also barely hanging on now.”
“With you, I’ll be able to attain a breakthrough. The heaven is treating me quite well. If it was earlier, I’d let you become my woman. But now, I’ll let you become an ownerless Dao companion in our Eternal Spring Palace,” the Second Elder laughed proudly.
Clank clank!
Just then, two abrupt notes from a zither rang out.
Clank clank…
The lady suddenly felt that not only had the weakening power in her body stopped weakening but it was instead, increasing. Power was burning up in her blood. It wasn’t just her. The other few ladies who were struggling to hang on also slowly felt more at ease. Prior to this, they were facing the possibility of having their defense being broken through at any moment.
