Chapter 803 -45 I Come as a Kite_2

As the drowning ghost swam deeper, the surrounding Arhat Bodhisattvas also subtly stirred.

They slowly lifted their heads and directed their gaze upward to the four girls.

When the thoughts transmitted by the drowning ghost suddenly broke off, Chen Lingyun immediately knew something was wrong and shouted,

“Go!”

Su Yunjin, who was prepared, promptly activated the Southern Dipper Galaxy Secret Art. The water from the Tianhe enveloped everyone and swiftly elevated them, quickly distancing themselves from those Arhat Bodhisattvas.

“Wait!” Xie Ruoxi also hurriedly shouted, “Someone is coming from above!”

Her Divine Sense had a wider range than normal people and she was the first to detect that there were people descending from above, and in considerable numbers!

Su Yunjin hesitated for a moment, only to hear Chen Lingyun say,

“Move sideways, to the corner.”

She immediately adjusted the spell, enveloping everyone in the river water to move to the side, while descending but also being careful not to get close to the Bodhisattvas in the water.

Not long after, countless ascetics descended from the top, led by Ishana whose face was full of beards and eyes emitted golden light, holding the Linga trident and continuously stirring the underwater sea, creating large patches of water-free space.

“Red Lotus Bowl!” As the girls finally descended to the edge of the cave at the bottom of the lake, Chen Lingyun commanded, and Zhao Yuanzhen threw out the Red Lotus Bowl, covering everyone with it inverted.

The Red Lotus Bowl isolated the interior from the exterior; everybody did not know what was happening and could only anxiously glance at each other.

Only Chen Lingyun, who had purposely left some drowning ghosts outside earlier, now stood with two fingers up toward her temples and lightly tapped near them, rapidly gathering True Yuan around her eyes.

Heavenly Vision, activate!

Soon, she took over the visual perception of the drowning ghosts outside.

In the murky waters of the lake, a streak of golden light suddenly appeared: it was Ishana hurling the Linga trident, stirring up a massive thunderstorm in the lake!

Some Arhat Bodhisattvas were smashed by the lightning, but more were looking up oddly, white light emerging from their orifices, wisping down through the water, seemingly slow but reaching them in mere moments.

Ascetics who were caught by this white light immediately stiffened, as if they had lost their minds, their gazes turning vacant.

The remaining people promptly used their Divine Skills to avoid the white light touching their bodies, some trying to counterattack those Arhat Bodhisattvas. Temporarily, the lake was filled with various colored lights crisscrossing back and forth, dazzling like fireworks.

Chen Lingyun stood by like a mountain watching tigers fight, taking delight in the scene. Ishana wasn’t feeling as good; he suspected that the cultivators from Lu Country were ambushing nearby, but the pressure from these Arhat Bodhisattvas was too great. If he did not clear them quickly, he feared heavy casualties among his men, hence he could only fully activate the Linga trident, keeping an eye on the surroundings for any sneak attacks.

The Arhat Bodhisattvas were successively shattered by lightning, and the ascetics also continually suffered losses — anyone who came into contact with the milky white light appeared as if they had lost their souls, oblivious to their companions’ calls.

Ishana, increasingly irritated, poured out the Blood Storage Calamity Wave Cup downward, turning a large amount of the blood-red liquid into swordfish, sharks, alligators, etc., holding off the offensive from the surrounding Bodhisattvas, and then raised his Linga trident, aiming below at the Jade Buddha and launched a Thunder Spear.

The Thunder Spear plunged into the body, and the Jade Buddha finally opened its eyes!

He chuckled heartily, his laughter booming like a bell, causing the lake water to seem to buzz along. Whiteness bizarrely emerged from his orifices, denser and more refined than from the Bodhisattvas, turning into several long ropes in the lake, entangling the lightning which then shattered like salt dissolving in water.

Ishana finally realized that something was wrong. This Jade Buddha’s strength was significantly higher than that of the other Arhat Bodhisattvas, and with the home-field advantage, fighting here was far too disadvantageous, so he ordered everyone to temporarily retreat and ascend to avoid the sharp edge.

Yet, the Jade Buddha was unwilling to cease, waving a hand and chanting started. Countless milky white Buddha’s Light gathered under the Bodhisattvas, turning into several lotus thrones, lifting each Buddha towards the surface.

After a moment, a corner of the Red Lotus Bowl near the corner was finally lifted, revealing the girls hiding inside.

“Lingyun, should we chase?” asked Su Yunjin.

“Chase!” Chen Lingyun replied without hesitation.

——————————

Yan Yu and the others boarded an iron boat, speeding ahead on the Dark River like lightning.

The speed couldn’t be reduced, for there was a sun chasing them from behind! It kept shouting “Eat my sword”, and any time the boat slowed, it would nearly melt under the sun’s heat.

After crossing several winding bends, the river ahead gradually widened and straightened.

Li Zhaojiang, paying no heed to anything else, pushed his True Yuan to its maximum and forcibly dragged the iron boat forward with the Primordial Magnetic Divine Light as if it were chained, charging at full speed.

Yan Yu was not idle either, interrogating the other party with an ancient mirror:

“What’s the deal with this Sun True Dullness Sword you mentioned? How could merely a leftover Sword Intent have such great power?”

“It’s not that the Sword Intent is powerful, it’s that your levels are too low,” explained the figure in the mirror, “you haven’t even reached Core Formation yet. In the realm of cultivation, that’s like being underage; of course, everything seems formidable to you.”

Not having reached Core Formation was equated to being underage… Everyone felt somewhat speechless upon hearing this.

Especially Yan Yu, who having lived two lives knew how low the crossing rate of the heavenly tribulation of Core Formation was, found the figure’s explanation even more absurd.

“However, even a Golden Core Master indeed wouldn’t be able to withstand the Sword Intent of the Sun True Dullness Sword,” the figure in the mirror continued, “In any case, don’t worry about anything right now; just run.”

“If even Golden Core Cultivators can’t overcome this Sword Intent, how can we possibly stand against it?” Li Minghu worriedly asked.

“It’s simple,” the figure in the mirror explained, “No matter how strong the Sword Intent is, after all, it is just intent; without the main body to replenish it, it’s like water without a source, a tree without roots, it will eventually be exhausted as long as you keep wearing it down!”

Lin Ning relayed this and then suddenly got annoyed:

“Don’t imitate my tone of voice!”

“So, we need to find it more opponents,” Yan Yu quickly concluded.

Everyone pondered it. From this line of thought, leading the Gatekeeper Taoist around in circles to buy time and wear down the Sword Intent seemed like the best strategy—but there lays the risk. If they were caught, it would mean certain death; who would dare to risk luring him?

Just as everyone was conflicted, a large number of Transcendents suddenly appeared on the riverbank ahead, caught up in a chaotic battle.

This area was the boundary between the underground Dark River and Yellow Springs of the Netherworld, attracting many Yin Ghosts stumbling along the riverbank, and thus luring numerous Dark Sorcerers and curse masters to this place to capture ghosts. ƒreewebɳovel.com

Ishana had arrived at the Dark River with his followers and had split up; a portion of the ascetic cultivators searched upstream and encountered the Sorcerers here, naturally erupting into battle.

“I’ll lure him away!” Yan Yu stood up and said, “Keep your distance from him, let’s go!”

He leaped from the boat, stepping on air with the Cloud Dividing Eight Trigrams Step. With a flicker, he reached the shore and transmitted a message back to the Gatekeeper Taoist:

“Come and fight!”

What pride and arrogance did the Gatekeeper Taoist have? With the Sword Intent of the Sun True Dullness Sword in hand, he had no reason not to accept the challenge, so he immediately changed direction, lunging towards the riverbank.

The Sorcerers and ascetic cultivators who were fighting on the shore also saw a great blaze of light speeding across the river.

Thinking like normal people, seeing this unfamiliar orb of light suddenly appear, the first response would be to retreat and observe. But none of these grassroots Transcendents lacked courage, and soon, some began to test their attacks on the light.

How could the Gatekeeper Taoist tolerate these provocations? With a roar of “Non-tribe members, unworthy to spare,” he swung his sword at the approaching crowd.

It was just a simple swing of the sword, not even able to form a proper Sword Technique.

Yet, at the moment he swung, it immediately transformed into a relentless blaze of Sword Qi, like a solar flare storm erupting from the sun!

The ascetic cultivators closest to him hadn’t even touched it before their figures were suddenly engulfed in flames, and soon their bodies collapsed like melted rubber.

Those behind saw this awful sight, wanting to turn and run, but the heatwave quickly caught up with them from behind, igniting and melting them almost instantaneously!

Such terrifying and dreadful power crushed the courage of all the Sorcerers and ascetic cultivators present, and for a while, no one dared remain there, hastily scattering and fleeing in all directions.
