Chapter 260: Mutual Aid Of Square And Circle
“Women of the Mei Clan never lose to men.” Mei Yu raised her eyebrows, declaring spiritedly.
The four reached a consensus and turned their gazes to Sun Yuanlang. “Sect Leader Sun, what do you think?”
“None of you are afraid, so would this poor Daoist be afraid of death?” Sun Yuanlang laughed carefreely and asked Du Hui: “Dead eunuch, what do we do?”
Du Hui then concisely explained the plan of the five inside the cave to the four.
Hearing that the people inside were preparing to use the combined attack power of ten Grandmasters to help Lu Xian execute an Xiantian move, Sun Yuanlang burst into loud laughter: “Sure enough, fools have fool’s luck. That kid Lu Xian is doing hard labor up front and seems to have benefited greatly!”
“That describes you too…” Pei Bang looked at Sun Yuanlang with a complicated expression, then burst into laughter: “Such a grand event cannot be missed!”
“Right, die without regrets!” Mei Yu and Xie Ding said in unison.
At this moment, there was no more scheming, no more worldly sophistication, only a pure martial artist’s heart. It was the unwavering belief of advancing without retreat, where man conquers heaven!
“Then let’s move!” Sun Yuanlang shouted explosively: “We’ll all strike with full power, force back the water flow, then rush into the cave!”
“Good!” The four responded in unison, immediately pushing their cultivation to the limit!
When the true force reached its peak, Sun Yuanlang changed his move for the first time. At this moment, he no longer cared about the injuries to his arms; his hands turned into phantoms, unleashing hundreds and thousands of Daoist incantations in succession.
“All laws unite, Universe Reversal!” In Sun Yuanlang’s explosive shout, he struck those countless Daoist incantations into the invisible energy shield that had been pressed right up to him.
The energy shield immediately blazed with purple glow, with flowing lights and phantoms, as if countless profound patterns were circulating within it. In an instant, the energy shield became incomparably powerful, effortlessly resisting the water momentum and reversing the surging water flow in the blink of an eye!
The watching Lu Yun and Su Yingxiu were dazzled; they would never forget this earth-shattering scene of the river water flowing backward in their lifetimes!
“Now!” Sun Yuanlang shouted sharply, and the four Grandmasters turned into streams of light, successively entering the cave.
Sun Yuanlang glanced at Su Yingxiu, then followed closely into the cave.
At this time, the energy shield still had not dissipated, steadily holding back the water flow, though it could no longer reverse it…
“Let’s go too!” Lu Yun felt his blood boiling and shouted deeply to Su Yingxiu without thinking.
“Naturally, husband leads and wife follows.” Su Yingxiu smiled sweetly, but darted ahead of Lu Yun, entering the cave first.
Watching her figure disappear at the cave entrance, Lu Yun shook his head helplessly. Su Yingxiu clearly knew that being last was the most dangerous, likely leading to isolation without aid. So she went ahead of Lu Yun, right after Sun Yuanlang, with people both in front and behind to watch over her—her safety factor was the highest among all.
Lu Yun couldn’t help but grumble inwardly: ‘This woman speaks sweet words, but her actions are extremely rational. Who knows if she has split personality.’
Putting aside these fleeting distractions, Lu Yun also leaped up, entering the cave quickly before the flood arrived.
.
After sending the signal, Zuo Yanqing and the other four focused on both regulating their breathing and listening intently to the movements behind them.
Dozens of breaths later, Wei Yang suddenly low shouted: “Water sounds!” The Wei Clan’s supreme art was called Heavenly Water Incantation; Wei Yang’s perception of water was even far superior to Xie Ding’s who practiced Kui Water Wisdom Merit. Thus, everyone deeply trusted his words.
“Knew it, they would choose the same as us!” Pei Yuqiu was overjoyed, feeling boundless exhilaration surge in his heart.
“Less nonsense, start circulating Qi!” Zuo Yanqing shouted sharply: “They’re almost here!”
“Good!” Everyone shouted in unison, pressing hands and feet against each other front and back, beginning to circulate their cultivation.
Sure enough, a few breaths later, Mei Yu’s voice sounded beside their ears: “We come to assist!”
“It’s Sister Mei!” Wei Yang cried out in surprise upon hearing her.
“Focus, you’ll get everyone killed!” Pei Yuqiu cursed angrily.
“You lot use the Hand Three Yin Meridians, from Yongquan through the Foot Three Yang!” Zuo Yanqing instructed deeply, and the five arriving Grandmasters knew how to circulate their power.
“Understood!” Mei Yu immediately pressed her hands against the old eunuch’s feet, and those behind followed suit, continuously channeling true force forward.
Even when the Xiahou Clan members used Dragon Elephant Combined Attack, they never exceeded five people. The reason was simple: the more people, the greater the difficulty!
The latter five were fine, but from Zuo Yanqing onward, each person forward had to bear six, seven, or even eight or nine kinds of exotic true Qi, with the difficulty increasing geometrically. If not for their rich experience, they might not even complete this minimal ten-person combined attack.
For Lu Xian at the very front, the difficulty was ten or a hundred times that of others, because others were just passing on cultivation, while he was the receiver of all the power. Not only receiving, he had to utilize it. Not only utilizing, he had to multitask, executing two completely opposite ultimate moves simultaneously.
Everyone was sweating bullets for him…
But no one expected that Lu Xian would complete the adjustment in just a few breaths, shouting explosively: “Come on!”
“Everyone, full power within ten breaths!” At this moment, Zuo Yanqing could not hesitate at all and immediately issued the command.
“Good!” The nine Grandmasters circulated their cultivation to the peak together, glowing with multicolored glows, looking dazzlingly brilliant.
But this ultimate beauty contained ultimate peril!
Starting from Du Hui behind Mei Yu, everyone’s expression was extremely pained, and the further forward, the more unbearable the pain!
But no one wavered in the slightest, because they all knew this was their only chance to escape!
‘One.’ Everyone silently began counting down in unison.
Lu Xian at the forefront could no longer feel any pain at all. His spirit seemed to have transcended his body; even on the brink of death, Lu Xian remained clear-minded, his hands methodically displaying Transforming Circle into Square and Transforming Square into Circle simultaneously!
‘Two.’
Countless circles and squares took shape in Lu Xian’s hands at a speed over ten times faster than before.
‘Three.’
Almost in the blink of an eye, the circles turned into squares, and the squares into circles. The square and circle shone dazzlingly, illuminating every detail in the cave!
‘Four.’
Everyone held their breath, staring fixedly at Lu Xian’s hands—the critical moment had arrived. Yet Lu Xian did not immediately attempt Mutual Aid of Square and Circle, merely maintaining his original moves. That square and circle grew even brighter, dazzling to the point one could hardly open their eyes.
‘Five.’
All the Grandmasters understood that Lu Xian was accumulating power, desperately squeezing out their last bit of potential.
‘Six.’
That dazzling square and circle had become completely substantial; one step further to return substance to void, and they could attempt that inhuman Xiantian strike!
“Push harder!” Zuo Yanqing roared hoarsely.
‘Seven.’
The ten Grandmasters were bleeding from all seven orifices, feeling their essence and blood about to burn out completely, yet still short by just a tiny bit…
‘Eight.’
The ten Grandmasters had no more potential to dig, yet that substantial square and circle showed no signs of turning void.
“Master, I’ll help you!” Su Yingxiu cried out delicately, unhesitatingly adding her meager true Qi.
‘Nine.’
Naturally, it was still a drop in the bucket, with almost no change.
At that moment, everyone despaired; they could no longer retract, only awaiting death with a smile…
Who knew that at this moment, another strand of true Qi far stronger than Su Yingxiu’s joined in—Lu Yun had arrived.
As soon as that true Qi joined, the originally powerful but lifeless square and circle instantly seemed infused with vitality, turning into phantoms at once!
By now, everyone was completely insensate, unaware of why this change occurred; they only knew one thing: the chance for Mutual Aid of Square and Circle had finally come!
‘Ten.’
At the moment of returning substance to void, a multicolored membrane appeared before Lu Xian’s eyes!
