Chapter 734: The descendent of the Poison Sect must be put to death (2/2)
Immediately, Cang Qiuzi’s group scattered, each and every one brandishing their swords in caution. The white wolf set the severely injured Xu Donglin on the ground before lying down at Han Yunxi’s feet.
This…
Han Yunxi hesitated as she stroked its head. Then she bravely climbed onto its back. Here was the safest spot. The white wolf slowly rose to its feet once she had settled in to stand in front of the building with narrowed crimson irises. The dozen or so top disciples of Celestial Mountain spread out behind the white wolf and Han Yunxi, guarding the door with her.
Cang Qiuzi could clearly sense the hidden power within the room growing weaker. Although he had no idea what kind of strength it could be, he was certain that Long Feiye was absorbing its energy right now. Time was running out. No matter what, he couldn’t let Long Feiye succeed!
“Youmin, the four of us can definitely trap this poison beast if we join hands!” Cang Qiuzi declared loudly.
Granny You didn’t answer, but moved to stand by Cang Qiuzi’s side. She didn’t want to hurt Long Feiye, but she had to take responsibility for Celestial Mountain and capture the poison beast and Han Yunxi. This was her duty!
If the sect leader was here, he probably wouldn’t let her off, either.
Before the righteous principles of the sword sect, Long Feiye’s life or death didn’t matter. Since Han Yunxi wouldn’t give up peacefully, she had no choice but to join the fight. The four elders drew their swords as killing intent filled the air. Sensing this, the white wolf’s temper flared. Before any of the quarter attacked, it was already pouncing at them. Despite its massive size, it moved as quickly as an arrow drawn from a bow.
Cang Qiuzi exchanged glances with his eldest disciple He Yilian1 before they both charged at the poison beast. With a yell, he cried, “Celestial Sword Tactical Array, deploy!”
The other three elders all took to the air in different directions, their swords drawn. All of them launched an attack on the white wolf from a different direction, bearing down menacingly. The white wolf allowed the trio to do as they wished while keeping its eye on Cang Qiuzi. It struck out a paw that sent shockwaves through the air, forcing Cang Qiuzi to evade as he lost his footing.
Three swords stabbed at the white wolf in turn, but none of the blades pierced its body. The white wolf’s other paw avoided Cang Qiuzi’s follow up strike as it swished its tail and sent Second Elder toppling to the ground. Third Elder and Granny You quickly retreated, the former exclaiming in amazement. “Head, neither blades nor spears can pierce the poison beast and its undying body! What do we do?”
Cang Qiuzi bent down to avoid another swipe by the poison beast before he too, backed away. “Use the Heaven and Earth Snare! Keep it trapped!”
As soon as he spoke, the white wolf abruptly sprang in front of him and snapped its jaws. Frightened, Cang Qiuzi realized the beast was more terrifying than he imagined. He quickly used his sword to block the white wolf’s mouth before jumping out of the way. Han Yunxi seized the chance to attack with her needles. To avoid her projectiles, Cang Qiuzi had to abandon his sword and flee into the air empty-handed.
The white wolf crunched Cang Qiuzi’s sword into pieces. Seeing this, the man cried out in alarm, “Hurry and activate the Heaven and Earth Snare!”
That was Celestial Mountain’s most powerful matrix array. Once activated, it was fully capable of trapping the white wolf. Once again, the three other elders went to their positions in preparation. Cang Qiuzi stood in front of the wolf and shouted at his eldest disciple, “Yilian, sword!”
He Yilian was busy fighting with the disciples guarding the door, but turned to toss his sword. At the same time, Han Yunxi released a barrage of poison needles that forced him to dodge and drop the weapon. The white wolf pounced at Cang Qiuzi, who could only run as he was unarmed. Unwilling to give up, the wolf snapped up Cang Qiuzi’s sleeve and tore it into tatters. The other three elders hurried over to help, but none of them were the white wolf’s match. They not only had to avoid the wolf’s attacks, but Han Yunxi’s poison needles as well. Very soon, each of them were sporting scratches from its claws.
It seemed that the white wolf’s only target was Cang Qiuzi. It forced the man into a corner and growled in a low voice, its bloody fangs ready to crush him into pieces. At this moment, second and third elder suddenly aimed their weapons at Han Yunxi. The white wolf backed away to turn and attack the elders. A thrilled Cang Qiuzi cried out, “Target Han Yunxi to keep it in check!”
But they were mistaken. The white wolf easily evaded their attacks with Han Yunxi on its back and forced its way in front of them. It looked like Cang Qiuzi, who stood at the head of the crowd, was due to suffer disaster. Suddenly, Cang Xiaoying’s warning rang out from behind.
“Han Yunxi, if you’re really thinking for Long Feiye’s sake, then give up immediately!”
Han Yunxi turned back in time to see He Yilian kill another one of the disciples guarding the door. They attackers had broken through the doors of Abstinence Hall. Sensing the danger behind them, the white wolf suddenly gave up on Cang Qiuzi and turned back to attack. At this, He Yilian and his group all scattered to the four winds. But as soon as the white wolf sat down in front of the door, a massive force came sweeping at them with enough force to knock them off their feet. They flew backwards, crashed through the doors of the Abstinence Hall, and kept going, shattering various obstacles in their way. In the end, both of them slammed into the stone wall before finally coming to a stop.
The white wolf was physically paralyzed on the ground. Sprawled on its back, Han Yunxi abruptly spat up a large mouthful of blood. Within the room was nothing but a mess, while silence reigned outside. A tall figure slowly walked inside…
