Chapter 109: The Summoner of Yangyi
It’s a fragment of Ling Tai Purification!
After Hu Chuan transformed into that unsettling, bizarre form, Luxianbei immediately noticed the measuring ruler floating around his body, but her attention was quickly diverted.
As her vision blurred, that swirling mass of chaotic colored mist, with its constantly writhing pale flesh, underwent a drastic transformation in her eyes.
It turned into a several-meter-tall, fluffy, round pink rabbit, sporting a “laugh-cry” emoji expression, continuously emitting an irritating “chirp chirp” sound.
The appearance was exceptionally mesmerizing.
Even the objects swirling around it were infested with palm-sized pink fluffy rabbits.
As Hu Chuan pushed the powers of Yangyi to their limits, the thought imprint left by the proxy player sister in Luxianbei’s mind began to take effect.
“……” Luxianbei looked at the scene before her, the corners of her eyes twitching slightly.
d*mn it, am I fated to clash with creatures like rabbits?
Why am I always fighting these things that seem to have sprung from some children’s cult? Luxianbei thought.
Just as she was lamenting, another scarlet light burst forth, swiftly following the dark golden bowl, and shot towards the Shuishu Beast.
The scarlet light approached the Shuishu Beast, and a pale, viscous liquid emerged from the light, writhing, expanding, morphing, and in the blink of an eye transformed into an urban legend that was half-human, half-tiger, pouncing down.
Its sharp claws swept across the blue scales with a harsh sound, creating a series of sparks and leaving behind white scratches.
The mouth filled with needle-like teeth bit down on its throat, eliciting a painful wail from the Shuishu Beast.
“Arrgh—!”
“Big Cousin!”
Seeing the Shuishu Beast in distress, Luxianbei let out a soft exclamation and instinctively stepped forward to rescue.
At that moment, a booming sound akin to a copper bell echoed in her ears, pulling her attention back to the monk formed from the bowl.
Having been distracted twice, that monk had already reached in front of Luxianbei, blocking her view between herself and Shuishu, standing tall and imposing at nearly three meters, as if to remind her of who her opponent was.
“d*mn it!”
Glancing at the monk charging toward her, Luxianbei cursed under her breath and waved her hand, dispersing a series of outer gas bubbles in front of her.
The outer gas bubbles shone with red light before exploding with a bang.
Using the burgeoning flames as cover, Luxianbei propelled herself backward from the ground.
In the next moment, the monk tore through the flames and pursued.
The buzzing echoed on the deserted highway in the rain; his once dark golden, powerful body now shimmered with golden patterns, navigating along the sharply defined muscle lines before finally converging on his back.
Followed by another booming sound, a two-headed, four-armed golden phantom emerged behind the monk.
“……”
That was likely his former spirit pattern, seemingly damaged, making it hard to identify its exact type…
The spirit energy fluctuation was roughly around B+, and if I avoid his strike, there’s a chance to k*ll…
His charge showed no visible martial art; he was merely relying on physical strength in a reckless rush, lacking flexibility…
Luxianbei stared at the phantom behind the monk, retreating while quickly analyzing and assessing the monk’s strength.
Then, as if a faint electric current had coursed through her brain, a premonition flashed through her mind.
【He’s launching a punch directly at me】
From a distance of several steps, the monk ferociously threw a punch.
At the moment he punched, the monk’s speed surged dramatically, maintaining that punching stance, his figure blazing like a dazzling meteor across the highway, sending water splashing across the road as he closed in.
This punch represents the power of a 3.7 old rabbit!
Not bad; it’s a bit slower than I imagined… Just as the monk approached, Luxianbei thought.
Then, she generated strength in her waist and spun to the left.
Two figures briefly intersected.
The monk’s fist grazed past the tip of Luxianbei’s nose.
Then.
Taking advantage of the monk’s punch, just as the momentum had not yet ceased, Luxianbei shifted low, pivoted around, stepped forward, and drew her sword.
Taihe Gentleman Sword: Wind Ward!
Ling Tai Purification carved out a cyan arc of light, sweeping across the monk’s waist.
As if slicing through metal, the deflected sword light cut through the dark golden body, covered in golden patterns, sending a barrage of sparks.
Cut in half!
“Poof—!”
The sound of bl**d spraying erupted, a viscous, pale liquid gushed forth from the monk’s waist as his upper body fell to the ground, spraying up to several meters high.
Immediately afterward, the monk’s body shattered with a loud bang.
Like a water balloon burst by a needle, a large amount of pale bl**d spurted in all directions.
Luxianbei’s eyelids twitched again as she carefully dodged, avoiding being splattered with rabbit fur.
“……”
The thought imprint left by the proxy player sister is absurd; although she successfully avoided being corrupted, it’s almost become a new source of mental pollution.
Immediately after, as the monk’s body exploded, groups of pink fluffy rabbits scattered in all directions, and a dark golden bowl clanged down to the ground.
Luxianbei was drawn by the sound of the bowl hitting the ground, turned to look, and frowned slightly.
The bowl had developed a jagged crack that ran through the entire vessel.
It looked as if it had been cleaved in half.
This is… Luxianbei gazed at the damaged bowl, recalled how she had just sliced the monk in half with her sword, her eyes narrowed in contemplation.
At that moment, a roar filled with rage from the Shuishu Beast pierced through her ears, shocking her back to reality and cutting off her thoughts.
“Roar——!”
Following the sound, she saw the Shuishu Beast had inexplicably grown in size, resembling a small mountain, treading atop that half-human, half-tiger form, throwing back its head in a long howl, its golden mane waved like a banner, blue arcs of electricity swirling madly within its green scales.
“Boom——!”
Deafening thunder exploded from the sky, and a massive bolt of lightning descended, instantly engulfing the figure beneath the Shuishu Beast.
“……”
Big Cousin is indeed an A+ grade urban legend.
Although it had not systematically learned various spell formulas and martial techniques, its terrifying physical strength and innate abilities were already capable of causing phenomenal destruction.
I overthought this… Luxianbei considered.
As she pondered, a scenario similar to that of the monk being killed played out again.
The shadow blackened beneath the Shuishu Beast exploded, and a tiger fang-shaped bone kn*fe fell to the ground, its blade charred.
“Poof——!”
Moisture shot out from the Shuishu Beast’s nostrils as it glared at the bone kn*fe, its eyes filled with murderous intent, then raised its front limbs and stomped down.
Angry, I’ll crush you!
With a crisp sound, the bone kn*fe was instantly ground into powder.
It splattered pink fluffy rabbits everywhere.
Luxianbei glanced at the split bowl and then looked at the crushed bone kn*fe beneath the Shuishu Beast, finally turning her gaze toward Hu Chuan, who had already transformed into a bizarre mass of flesh, narrowing her eyes.
“Heh, I think I might have an idea of what that guy did to himself…” Luxianbei murmured.
The 【Reverse Calamity Flower Gu】 can indeed influence all the senses of the cursed, but only if the cursed has senses to begin with.
From the secret society members, Luxianbei had already witnessed the outcome of being eroded by the Yangyi powers—merging with objects, transforming into a half-human, half-object state.
“Objects” have no senses…
As Hu Chuan acted as the vessel of the Yangyi power and activated that part of his power, he transformed his body into a state between human and object, akin to a Yangyi derivative or a descendant, shedding all original bodily senses, making it easy.
Although ordinarily, when one discards their senses, they can no longer perceive the outside world, becoming a lamb to the slaughter.
But Hu Chuan was different; he could still peek into this world through the objects he controlled.
Simply put, he realized that the human body has its limits, so he stopped being human!
This is troublesome… Luxianbei thought, looking toward the writhing mass of bizarre flesh in the distance, feeling heavy-hearted.
That guy has become a half-human, half-object state, significantly lowering the influence of his alluring abilities and 【Royal Authority】, indirectly weakening Luxianbei’s combat power.
Normally, in the past, when faced with such situations, she would have started devising her escape plan to survive by now.
But this time…
Luxianbei looked across the highway to that pink rabbit shrouded in mist, her willow-like brows knitting together.
What should I do?
The fragment of Ling Tai Purification and the remnant soul of the ancestor are in that guy’s hands; I can’t just ignore that, right?
And the promise to help the Decapitated Senior take revenge; if Hu Chuan escapes this time, next time he will be even harder to deal with.
Most importantly, being overwhelmed and fleeing in panic from a bunch of pink fluffy rabbits would not look good if it got out… Although it would damage Gu Qiqi’s reputation, it doesn’t seem good either, right?
After pondering for a moment, Luxianbei’s gaze suddenly sharpened, and she turned to the Shuishu Beast, shouting, “Big Cousin, go call for help, find Huasang; she knows what kind of people to bring.”
If I can’t win, then calling for help is reasonable, right?
“Don’t bother with this demon about chivalry; everyone just attack together!” That’s the kind of honorable tradition we upright people should have… Luxianbei thought.
Upon hearing Luxianbei’s words, the Shuishu Beast appeared hesitant, nervously scratching the ground with its hooves, sparking a series of electric sparks.
“Hurry up, I might not hold on for much longer.”
Luxianbei added quickly, and only then did the Shuishu Beast snort, turn around, and stomp toward the Shizhou city area, galloping with all its might!
At that moment, a piercing screech from a crow suddenly erupted.
“Chirp——!”
Accompanied by the bird’s shriek, a blade entirely black, covered in serrated notches, shot out from beside Hu Chuan, instantly transforming into a shadowy figure draped in black feathers, resembling a malformed giant bird.
The spirit energy fluctuation it emitted was clearly stronger than that of the monk before.
Those hidden eyes beneath tangled hair locked onto Luxianbei, and in an instant, a bl**d-red flame erupted from it, and with a strange cry, it wielded the scythe, charging straight at the Shuishu Beast.
“Clang——!”
With a sound of clashing metal, the scythe was intercepted, blocking its trajectory.
Luxianbei held the Ling Tai Purification against the blade’s edge, slowly lifting her gaze to stare at the grotesque face shrouded in foul black mist, and said in a deep voice, “Your opponent is right here.”
As her words fell, pure silver light erupted from the Ling Tai Purification.
Behind her, the sound of hooves galloping echoed as the Shuishu Beast’s frenzied figure gradually became enveloped by the white mist raised by the heavy rain…
Before long, the highway shrouded in thick mist fell into an unsettling silence.
Luxianbei turned around, her body suddenly stiffening.
Ahead, in the mist, nine figures of varying heights quietly emerged, slowly approaching, the horrifying spirit energy fluctuations surged, making the very air seem to solidify, suffocating.
The leading figure, wielding a long sword, an elegant silhouette with fluttering clothes, felt inexplicably familiar.
That… it couldn’t be the person I’m thinking of, right? Luxianbei’s heart tightened.
As she thought, the Ling Tai Purification in her hand suddenly vibrated, emitting a high-pitched hum.
Luxianbei, “……” Is it too late to say this is actually a misunderstanding?
————
Meanwhile, as Luxianbei found herself in a predicament, those within the God Realm of Yangyi were also stuck in a stalemate.
“Boom——!” A low rumble erupted.
A massive shadow rose from the chaos, sweeping toward Zhang Hainan, who twitched his brows slightly, gripping the air, lightning flashing in his palm.
In the blink of an eye, a tremendous bolt of lightning rapidly gathered in his hand, condensing into a sword that emitted indescribable brilliance.
A powerful spirit energy gathered in a brutally straightforward way, coalescing into a sword representing the powers of the Eternal King, meeting the incoming strike of Yangyi at one point.
A shattering sound echoed as countless rays of brilliance erupted.
In an instant, the God Realm of Yangyi exploded with cracks everywhere.
After one blow, Zhang Hainan gazed at the swirling chaos of dazzling colors ahead, his expression growing serious.
According to the intelligence Luxianbei had provided, there were at least seven areas corroded by the urban legend codenamed F, with four of them backed by Cataclysm-grade powers. According to plan, the leaders of these four areas were to become the main force in suppressing the codename F urban legend.
However, Zhang Hainan had come here with the Zixiao Terrace, where the evil god worshiped by the Tulip Society appeared, and the holy worm revered by the Miaojiang Guji was also present, but the high priest of the Pasupati Temple, who controlled the 【Mythological Species: Mohuloka】 spirit pattern, had yet to make an appearance.
In fact, if it weren’t for the high priest not showing up and the codename F urban legend suddenly becoming restless, they should have completed the suppression half an hour ago.
Indeed, Yangyi had inexplicably begun to stir.
Just moments ago, when Zhang Hainan, the Miaojiang Guji, and the holy worm controlled by them were close to finishing the suppression of Yangyi, the slumbering Yangyi began to resist.
That massive, chaotic-colored gelatinous body spread forth a vast quantity of illusory colored dust, a strange low whisper echoing.
It was as if someone about to awaken was tossing and turning between dreams, dreaming out loud.
……
Gazing at that agitated chaos of colors, Zhang Hainan quickly formed hand signs with both hands, attempting to divine the cause of its agitation while falling into deep thought.
What is Yadu doing?
Why hasn’t he appeared yet? Zhang Hainan wondered.
Just as he was pondering, the giant tortoise phantom carrying the He Tu in his hand suddenly dissipated, transforming into countless starlight that scattered, all vanishing into his brow.
A gleam flashed in his eyes, his body shook.
The divination finally had results…
The divination showed that someone was calling the urban legend codenamed F, trying to awaken it from its slumber.
Not good, a major issue is about to arise! Zhang Hainan thought.
In a situation where both sides are also Cataclysm-grade, wanting to k*ll the opponent is already challenging; with codename F being born from concepts, it’s even more difficult, so the only way is to suppress it while it slumbers…
But now it has woken up, intent on escaping, even Zhang Hainan is unable to stop it.
