Chapter 79: Still As Azure Duckweed, Moving Like A Flying Immortal, Who Can See Me!
Kui Xing Tower.
Darkness was like an invisible great net, enveloping the surroundings.
The wailing of the wind and the successive panicked screams came from his ears, making this darkness even more chilling.
And in the field of view overlooked by Yi Zi Hall Master, Xiao Qingchou, and others, there were figures like fireflies, seemingly the only faint light in the pitch black.
They were advancing against the flow, quickly heading toward Kui Xing Tower.
Those skilled in Movement Technique climbed high and scaled dangers, rapidly ascending along the tower body.
Lin Shou Zhuo, He Qiang, and others who were not skilled in Lightness Skill broke through doors and entered, leaping quickly along the stairs; their speed was not much slower than those climbing outside.
Yi Zi Hall Master took off his Jacket, revealing muscles and bones twisted like steel; with a grab of his hand, he had a Caltrop Iron Hammer, covered in triangular iron spikes like the dense fangs of a ferocious beast.
He estimated the time and chuckled lightly,
“You continue, He Qiang and I will block them.”
With that said, he and Xiao Qingchou jumped down from the tower top, went down two floors, and then suddenly stopped.
Yi Zi Hall Master crouched at the stair corner, listening sideways to the movements on the tower body.
Xiao Qingchou stood a few steps higher on the stairs, his eyes slightly narrowed.
A few breaths later, a figure like a gecko appeared, hooking and climbing, rising several zhang, passing by this place.
Separated from Yi Zi Hall Master by only one wall.
The person outside the wall blanked out for a moment, his pupils seemingly stimulated by strong light, contracting sharply.
It was only because the sky that was originally ‘covered’ had brightened!
To be precise, he had left the coverage of Red Fifth Master’s Intent, his vision no longer interfered with, and had recovered.
And it was in the instant this person blanked out.
Yi Zi Hall Master, who already had First-rate strength, was ambushing and waiting, taking advantage of the opponent’s unpreparedness; his cheek muscles twitched and tightened, Strength rose from the root, permeating his right arm to his right palm, carrying surging and turbulent Strength, and with the handle of the Caltrop Iron Hammer, he suddenly smashed out!
The tower body was unscathed.
But the person outside the wall was instantly blasted into a cloud of blood mist.
He didn’t even have time to scream.
After doing this, Yi Zi Hall Master acted as if nothing had happened and silently crouched in ambush here again.
Xiao Qingchou sighed lightly.
Until a few breaths later, several powerful auras rapidly rushed up along the stairs.
Yi Zi Hall Master’s legs sprang up, his previously calm Qi and Blood suddenly boiled, his spine shook like a great dragon stretching its muscles, and he smashed out with a punch.
“Hm?”
The instant Yi Zi Hall Master threw the punch, he regretted it; his glabella stung with pain, danger alerting him, as if there were needles suspended at his temples.
He immediately sank his body and withdrew the punch, retreating rapidly, forcibly suppressing the churning Qi and Blood in his throat.
And Xiao Qingchou, standing not far away, upon seeing this, beckoned with his hand and gained a Matchlock Gun.
After His Majesty the Emperor pacified the realm, Firearms were stored away, and horses released to the southern mountains.
All Firearms, unless approved by the Government Offices for use, even Clans privately possessing one would be a capital crime of extermination of the entire family!
However, those daring to join Guo Lu Society had already hung their heads on their Belts.
The more it was a contraband punishable by extermination of the family, the more they had to seize it.
At this moment,
The match rope soaked in burning water and urine had long been lit; with the trigger pulled, a thumb-thick projectile, carrying blinding flames and white smoke, shot toward the incoming person at an inconceivable speed.
With Xiao Qingchou’s precise coordination, Yi Zi Hall Master felt very proud in his heart.
What era is this, still engaging in bare-handed Combat.
Even Divine Might Cannon guards the customs; taste the might of our Firearms…
The thought had just arisen when Steel Needles like a storm of pear blossoms scattered through the air, clattering against the projectile.
Only to see Zhou Qing, with a male body and Female Form, his delicate face slightly tense, hurriedly flicking embroidery needles; with a sharp clang, the projectile was finally detonated in mid-air.
The firelight left only sound, no color.
Yi Zi Hall Master charged down from above, swinging the Caltrop Iron Hammer fiercely.
The stairs were narrow, and the group briefly clashed for several rounds.
Xiao Qingchou occasionally fired cold shots, even shooting down Lightness Skill Martial Artists outside the tower.
Lin Shou Zhuo held his breath, forcibly keeping up with the battle rhythm of Zhou Qing and Yi Zi Hall Master, only able to occasionally throw punches to assist.
Yet his Qi and Blood surged, his mouth full of the taste of Rust.
Lin Shou Zhuo felt somewhat bitter in his heart.
“I’m invincible at Second-rate, how come all who came today are First-rate? How am I supposed to fight?”
Moments later, Zhou Qing, Lin Shou Zhuo, and the others failed to break through and temporarily retreated to the next stairwell.
Hiding under the floorboard.
Zhou Qing spat,
“What kind of damn man actually uses a gun?”
And Yi Zi Hall Master also had lingering shock in his heart, hiding at the upper stairwell, looking at his fist that had nearly been turned into a beehive,
“What kind of freak actually hides needles!”
Zhou Qing listened to the successive screams from below the tower, his face slightly anxious.
He suddenly had an idea and said to the people in front of him,
“How many Wonderful Sound do you have?”
Someone said in a deep voice: “Wonderful Sound three hundred.”
Ren Yong said: “Over two hundred forty.”
He Qiang said confidently: “Wonderful Sound three hundred three!”
…
In the end, Zhou Qing, He Qiang, and the others all looked at Lin Shou Zhuo.
Lin Shou Zhuo’s face twitched, his lips opening and closing as if he had some unspeakable difficulty, but under the gazes of the blazing firelights, he helplessly said,
“Less than one hundred eighty.”
Useless.
This thought arose in everyone’s hearts.
Zhou Qing quickly said: “Hundred Refinements Strength transmits Strength through Wonderful Sound bone resonance; if there’s a stronger sound to overwhelm his Wonderful Sound, disrupting the thread-pulling, it will surely create an opportunity for the Landlord and them.”
Ren Yong frowned: “The one using Hundred Refinements Strength must be extraordinarily talented with an extremely high Wonderful Sound count. None among us can match him; I’m afraid it’s difficult.”
He Qiang suddenly said: “How about we demolish Kui Xing Tower?”
Everyone looked at him as if he were a fool.
Kui Xing Tower was the place where the Imperial Examination top scholar, upon returning home in glory after being named on the imperial list, boasted of his official position.
If you dare demolish it, His Majesty the Emperor dares to exterminate your nine clans and implicate everyone!
Guess why even the Guo Lu Society Hall Master, such a crude Jianghu person, didn’t dare smash the walls and could only slay from afar?
Zhou Qing scanned the crowd and finally fixed his gaze on He Qiang,
“I’ll create an opportunity for you; go up a few more floors, shorten the distance to the person at the tower top! Trying remote Strength projection from afar—who knows if it won’t succeed without trying!”
With that said, the group let out long howls and fought their way up the tower again.
……
“How are there still stray bullets?”
A Flood Dragon suddenly rose in the pool water calm as an ancient well.
Tearing through the calm water surface, bringing surging ripples, roaring forth.
Chen Shun’an took a deep breath, his thoughts turning.
Between his legs, the Cloud Movement Armor Horse runes flashed by.
His entire muscles and bones, Qi and Blood rolled like mercury, but in the next moment condensed into one, twisted into a single strand, without revealing the slightest sharpness.
Chen Shun’an’s figure vanished from the spot.
Heaven and Earth were like a furnace, blazing flames everywhere.
He walked among billions of fire wisps, flickering uncertainly, suddenly turning into a light floating white cloud, or seemingly an elusive tiny spore.
The rapidly shooting projectile, in his perception, was like a slow snail.
He suddenly appeared diagonally opposite the projectile, gently reaching out to touch the scorching, still filled with unburnt Black Powder’s hard metal surface.
Whoosh!
The flames completely faded, the gunpowder smoke gone.
This projectile instantly lost all Essence related to ‘Xu Fire’, leaving only pure speed and hardness.
And in the Divine Palace in Chen Shun’an’s mind, a cluster of flameless, suspended in mid-air, faintly burning fire wisp suddenly appeared.
Still crackling and flashing.
With a ‘bang’, the stray bullet was knocked flying, precisely striking into a Willow Tree that took several people to hug, wood chips flying everywhere, yet not harming anyone.
And the several Qi and Blood Seeds condensed at Chen Shun’an’s fingertips also scattered like chasing stars.
After Chen Shun’an broke through to First-rate, the ability of Jade Tree Treasure Robe had also greatly increased.
Chen Shun’an even guessed that even facing a cascade of Arrows or salvo of Firearms, he could advance against the flow, seizing heads in a thousand troops and ten thousand horses, cutting flags and slaying generals.
Headwind like a Dagger beat against Chen Shun’an’s face.
Yet the moment it touched his Skin, it became gentle and obedient, all flowing to both sides.
This was after Chen Shun’an slew the Body Thief, then driving Cloud Movement Armor Horse, the first time nearly fully displaying Lightness Skill Movement Technique.
His speed grew faster and faster, until finally, it seemed to break through some boundary.
Buzz!
Chen Shun’an’s mind shook violently, as if bursting into another world.
Suddenly, some strange lines appeared before his eyes.
Like green silk ribbons hanging from somewhere, swaying in the wind, sometimes gathering into mountains, sometimes dispersing into fine sand, draping over the shoulders and bodies of everyone near Kui Xing Tower.
Carrying a thick personal will.
That was…
Red Fifth Master’s Tai Mountain-pressing intent, domineeringly covering this space!
It was also because of this Intent that it blinded the sky with a glance!
With a move of Chen Shun’an’s figure, those formless flowing Intents were cleverly bypassed and shed.
The green silk ribbons draping on his shoulders and body were all thrown behind him.
Immediately, the sky brightened for Chen Shun’an.
The sun was high, insects chirping and birds calling.
Under the dazzling sunlight, Kui Xing Tower stood tall.
The Imperial Carriage had long been overturned on the ground, various Idols and colored flags trampled into tatters.
The common folk and even the Water Station and Pounding House crowds groped like blind men touching an elephant; clearly broad daylight, yet comically half-squatting, carefully groping.
At this moment, realization dawned in Chen Shun’an’s heart.
The Combat of First-rate experts was a contest of Intent.
And the way to win this contest of Intent was not only to counter with even more vast and majestic Intent or crush with superior True Cultivation Manual.
But also like him.
As long as you run fast enough, the Intent can’t catch up.
Chen Shun’an no longer delayed and reached Kui Xing Tower in an instant.
Mottled and faded various murals, spiraling upward wooden stairs, dust floating in the air.
Various reliefs and brick pagoda, as if frozen in stagnant time.
With Red Fifth Master’s ‘personal demonstration’, Chen Shun’an also controlled his Intent to radiate outward.
Strands of fire wisps immediately jumped out, falling into the minds of everyone present.
Red Fifth Master slew Eye Thief; Intent could intimidate, blinding sky and sun, with the ability to seize vision.
While Chen Shun’an slew Body Thief, similarly able to interfere with others’ Qi and Blood flow and thought operation, with nearly the ability to seize action.
If combined with his Movement Technique…
Still as green ping, moving like Flying Immortal.
Who can see me?!
On the cramped stairs, Yi Zi Hall Master swung his hammer down, his face ferocious.
Zhou Qing’s delicate face was pale, Steel Needles exhausted, holding a Hairpin, disheveled black hair scattered.
Lin Shou Zhuo saw an opportunity and, in the gap of their clash, carried an unstoppable surging Strength, suddenly smashing toward Yi Zi Hall Master.
He Qiang and several other figures were struck flying by Yi Zi Hall Master, spitting blood, rolling to the lower space amid circles of squeezed white air waves.
Everyone’s expressions, actions, even heartbeats and blood flow inside their bodies seemed frozen in that instant.
This world had been forgotten and fixed.
And Chen Shun’an was the only true Flying Immortal god in this realm.
Chen Shun’an reached out, grabbed He Qiang’s shoulder, resolved the Strength on him, and pressed him to the ground.
Then conveniently took the Stone Bottle containing Eight Treasures Water from his body.
“One matter at a time; you saved Chen Mou once, Chen Mou repays the favor. But this thing is the consequence of offending Chen Mou.”
Chen Shun’an knew his heart was extremely small, not a magnanimous person.
His toes lightly stepped, like rising mist, quickly going upstairs.
His finger flicked, Flying Immortal Strength struck from afar, hitting Yi Zi Hall Master’s wrist.
Once upon a time, facing the Sickly Big Bug Yang Lu, even if Chen Shun’an’s speed far exceeded the opponent, he didn’t dare rely solely on speed to deceive.
First-rate Realm, Spiritual Mechanism formed, encountering enemies like Huoshao, with precognitive ability.
But now Chen Shun’an, observing Six Sceneries, slaying Body Thief, his Spiritual Mechanism Intent not inferior to a First-rate Warrior who slew two thieves.
So even Yi Zi Hall Master had his perception blinded, unable to detect danger right before him.
The next instant, Chen Shun’an went up several more stairs.
He saw Xiao Qingchou, sideways hidden under the dougong door and window, finger virtually on the trigger, ready to fire a cold shot at any time.
A Gold Coin Dart then appeared in Chen Shun’an’s hand.
In high-speed movement, Chen Shun’an seemed to merge with the Gold Coin Dart in his hand, carrying unimaginable terrifying Strength, turning into a humanoid killer weapon.
The sharpened tip of the Gold Coin Dart, like a sharp Dagger cutting tofu, embedded into the straight gun barrel of the Matchlock Gun.
Then it slashed through, cutting the matchlock striker, tearing the priming pan cover, and exiting from the gunstock end.
Like a clinging electric light, its sound muted.
The Gold Coin Dart was scorched red, its edge dulled.
And Xiao Qingchou’s Matchlock Gun appeared intact, unmoving, yet had been severed in two.
Finally, Chen Shun’an placed a palm on the Kui Xing Tower body, controlling Strength with both hardness and softness, emitting three hundred sixty Wonderful Sound bone resonances.
Then he leaped downstairs, flickering a few times, completely vanishing.
