Chapter 395 - Fight for The Banner
The three masked men were none other than Jun Sixie, Old Man Ying, and Bai Zhenbei. They had changed their appearances, and Old Man Ying rushed into the Lang Ya Board along with Bai Zhenbei, entering the seventh floor of the Lesser Void World to save Shui Zian.
Meanwhile, Jun Sixie stayed on the outer rim. She took out the Azure Dragon Marked Banner and yelled. It then grew to a length of over a mile long and was slowly fluttering with the wind.
Behind Jun Sixie, the Water Celestial True Spirit was holding onto the banner and patiently waiting for the signal.
Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei rushed into the seventh-floor and saw a huge array formation that shrouded the sky of the Lesser Void City. It was formed by the three huge banners - White Tiger, Black Turtle, Vermilion Bird.
The banners had surrounded the Lesser Void City, and three legendary beasts walked down from the banners and fought in the city, ravaging its land and buildings.
The banners, in addition to the Azure Dragon Marked Banner, were the Four Symbol Banners, with each acting as a command banner for one military camp. When gathered together, they would form the key to the Reincarnation Monarch\'s tomb.
These legendary beasts were purely composed of the totem patterns carved on the banners, and once the banners were activated, the totem patterns would then form physical manifestations of the beasts of legend.
However, as the activators of the banners were still too weak to unleash the true power of the banners, the three legendary beasts they materialized were not that strong. Otherwise, any one of the banners could have easily taken Shui Zian\'s life.
Sixty-four Sword Cocoons were moving deftly around the city, fighting head-on against the three legendary beasts while trying to tire them out
In the center of the city was none other than the Swords Gate Grand Elder, Shui Zian. He had been trapped for two days, and despite him being an Imminent Deity cultivator, withstanding two days of non-stop attacks had still taken an enormous toll on his energy. He was now at the brink of collapse.
Under the three banners, there were Zhong Li Celestial Race magnates. Among them was a Zhu Rong Clan magnate, and the others were Martial Heavenly Masters. Although they were a level below Shui Zian, their combined attacks had him at a disadvantage, and they were killing him little by little.
Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei rushed quickly, and not a single second was wasted before their skills and soul weapons were already blasted out at one of the Martial Heavenly Master!
A Martial Heavenly Master was equivalent to a True Spirit Qi Practitioner. Their mortal bodies were nearly unbreakable, and that gave them an advantage against the Qi Practitioners in close-quarters combat. Hence, Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei had decided to eliminate the Martial Heavenly Master down first!
But that Martial Heavenly Master reacted quickly; he had sensed the two right when they entered the Lesser Void World. But because he was maintaining the array formation, he wasn\'t able to dodge at all, having no choice but to bear all of the attacks.
The agile Martial Heavenly Masters were, in fact, even more challenging to catch in the air than on the ground. But since the array formation limited his movements, he could only endure whatever was to come at him.
Right in the next second, he was fully engulfed in the skills of the two magnates. Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei even hid their soul weapons in their arts, using them to deal even more severe injuries to the Martial Heavenly Master.
Blood sprayed through the sky, and his mortal body cracked like porcelain. The Martial Heavenly Master\'s mortal body was their strongest weapon, even stronger than magnate soul weapons. But in the end, Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei were no easy targets themselves.
Despite him nearing the end of his life, Old Man Ying\'s arcane energy was still strong and dense. On the other hand, Bai Zhenbei was an old codger of the Bai Zhe Clan; he had extensive knowledge in nearly all of the skills and techniques that had ever existed in this world. With him knowing their weaknesses and shortcomings, how could he ever be defeated in battle?
Once Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei struck their attacks away, they then immediately turned to the other Martial Heavenly Master. That Martial Heavenly Master spread out his fire-red hairs and morphed into the Zhong Li Celestial form.
Meanwhile, the Zhu Rong magnate on the other side covered himself in flames as if he had become a god of fire. He then punched out a million fire dragons right at Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei.
Right at the same time, Shui Zian\'s aura blazed out, and the Sword Cocoons slipped past the legendary beasts toward the Martial Heavenly Master and Zhu Rong magnate!
An inside and out convergence attack!
The Martial Heavenly Master was caught off guard, and the Sword Cocoons curled around him. He immediately let out a cry, and the totem patterns around him blasted out and stalled the Sword Cocoons for a split second while his body shrunk from a thousand feet down to three inches to slip right through the Sword Cocoons!
Meanwhile, Bai Zhenbei cast a skill and struck his head, breaking his skull and sending him crashing down into the city!
Old Man Ying then waved his hands to send countless skills hurdling into the city ruins.
The Sword Cocoons then trapped the other Zhu Rong magnate, but he was not a Martial Heavenly Master and so couldn\'t shrink his body to escape through the gaps. The Zhu Rong magnate\'s fear mounted as the Sword Cocoons continued to close in around him.
Right at this time, the other severely wounded Martial Heavenly Master struggled to get up, and he flew to the Zhu Rong magnate and flicked his fingers on the Sword Cocoons, and the snake-like sword silks were then blasted away.
At the moment that the magnate slipped out from the Sword Cocoons, Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei had already struck over to deal him a significant amount of damage, effectively reducing the strength he could use.
"Retreat!" The two Martial Heavenly Masters then shot up into the sky with the banners in hand while one of them held onto the Zhu Rong magnate\'s arm. They all then rushed out from the Lesser Void World.
In the city, Shui Zian suddenly collapsed to the ground and plunged into the dark abyss of unconsciousness.
He was already at the end of his rope, and just as he felt the arrival of reinforcements, he forcibly surged out the last ounce of his energy to break out from the array formation and escape death by a whisker. But as a result of his final outburst that consumed the last morsel of his energy, he immediately collapsed right after.
Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei then quickly landed in the middle of the city ruins and carried Shui Zian in their arms. The two elderly cultivators then surged their arcane energy into Shui Zian\'s body to help him suppress the wounds while they quickly rush out.
"This is not a place to stay for long. If the Zhu Rong Clan and Xia Clan\'s are paying attention and takes action to counter us, none of us will be able to survive!"
Bai Zhenbei then shouted, "After we get out, this old brat Shui Zian will be handed over to the Zhong Shan Clan member immediately, and we will leave immediately. I don\'t know you, and you don\'t know me, we\'ve never met before at all!"
Old Man Ying felt the same. The mess that was made was too critical; the Xia Clan and Zhu Rong Clan had taken huge blows. If they were to be linked to such an incident, the Bai Zhe Clan\'s reputation would plummet, and the Ying Zhao Celestial Race\'s Old Man Ying and Ying Nu would be torn apart by the Xia Clan and Zhu Rong Clan!
"Yes. But this Zhong Shan Clan brat, why is he asking the little girl to wave the banner at the entrance?" Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei were both puzzled at this.
In the front of the Lang Ya Board, Jun Sixie was waving the Azure Dragon Marked Banner with the same question lingering in her mind.
Why is Junior Martial Brother Zhong asking me to wave the banner here instead of using the Divine Wing Saber? If anyone recognizes me, they will surely laugh at the Swords Gate headmaster for waving the banner like an idiot … If he is fooling around with me, I will smash his butt when we get back!
Just as the thought crossed her mind, three figures rushed out from the Lang Ya Board and were quickly running toward the outside.
These three were none other than the two Xia Clan Martial Heavenly Masters and the Zhu Rong Clan magnate. The three of them were in a sorry state, and the strength they could use was only a fraction of their peak. Behind their backs were the other three banners.
Jun Sixie was still waving the Azure Dragon Marked Banner, and all of a sudden, three loud bursts of sound could be heard as the Vermillion Bird, White Tiger, and Black Turtle Banners extricated from the trio\'s backs and hovered around Jun Sixie!
The complete Four Symbol Banners!
These four banners were of the same set. The Zhong Li Celestial Race had once used the other three to summon the Azure Dragon Banner, but if it weren\'t for Zhong Yue who picked their ripened fruit for his own, they would have all four banners already.
However, as Jun Sixie was waving the Azure Dragon Banner, the four banners linked together, and they naturally came together to form a set.
The three Zhong Li Celestials were severely wounded, and in their current state of weakness, none of them could have protected the banners as Jun Sixie effortlessly took away.
The three celestials were stunned, and even Jun Sixie was shocked. All of a sudden, she recalled her thoughts and swung the banner in her hands, the Azure Dragon emerged and swept the three celestials away, adding more wounds to the already injured celestials.
Jun Sixie then grabbed onto the four banners, and at this moment, Old Man Ying and Bai Zhenbei had rushed out of the Lang Ya Board and hastily handed Shui Zian over to her before leaving immediately after, "Leave!"
The two old codgers and Jun Sixie rushed out from the Lesser Void World. They then looked around and found the Fiery Capital ruined beneath them; buildings were collapsed, and a deep fissure had cut across the earth - even the statue of Lord Xia was destroyed.
"No one saw me here!"
Bai Zhenbei transmitted a message the other two before shooting out like a nocked arrow let loose!
A freezing chill was sent down Old Man Ying\'s spine, and he also blasted away like Bai Zhenbei.
Jun Sixie then also turned and left in thought, Junior Martial Brother Zhong has caused such commotion? The Zhong Li Celestial Race is definitely going to burst this time…
…
A hundred miles away, Zhong Yue kept the saber and tossed it back into the copper lamp.
He then kept the copper lamp in his Yuan Shen secret realms and bowed at the eleven celestials, "Thank you, seniors, for the help! The tokens will be sent back to your homes! Please, leave right now!"
The eleven magnates landed on the ground, exchanged looks and immediately turned and left while saying, "We have never met before!"
"That\'s right. We have never met!"
Soon, everyone was gone, left and Zhong Yue was left alone on the spot.
“Run!”
Zhong Yue\'s figure was then flitting across the ground, he did not rush toward Swords Gate, but headed east for the Eastern Sea.
Meanwhile, he changed his appearance to resemble a young demon, and he flew close to the ground for hundreds of miles before plunging underground to move beneath the soil.
After another few hundred miles, Zhong Yue surfaced from the ground as Long Yue and continued to slowly move toward the Eastern Sea.
The Zhong Li Celestial Race knows that it\'s me, and it is impossible for them to let me walk out of the South Barren alive. However … all of this isn\'t related to Long Yue at all.
Zhong Yue smiled and thought, While I am Long Yue. There is no need to fake my identity or anything else. Even if the Zhong Li Celestial Race inspects me now, they wouldn\'t even realize a thing at all.
…
Fiery Capital.
Clan Master Xia, Zhurong Yanqin, and the others were covered in blood; the attack of the Divine Wing Saber was a strong one that even they had a hard time withstanding. As one of the few that stood at the summit of this world, Clan Master Xia and Zhurong Yanqin could have left the attack radius in time, but in order to protect their clansmen, they have no choice but to bear the attack, which was why their wounds were so severe.
Clan Master Xia was looking at the crumbled Lord Xia statue, and his eyes were vacant and blank. He then turned and gazed at the destroyed Martial Divine Master\'s body - his eyes were resembled that of a dead man.
"Clan master! Shui Zian has been saved!"
The two Martial Heavenly Masters carried the Zhu Rong magnate as they flew over while blood was still trickling down their mouths. The three severely wounded Zhong Li Celestials then couldn\'t hold exert themselves up anymore and crashed down from the sky, one of them shouted feebly, "The banners, three masked men robbed them of from us…"
Puff——
A mouthful of blood spurted out like a fountain from Clan Master Xia\'s mouth. It felt like as if he had suddenly aged tens of years. Moments later, a low and deep voice that was as cold as if it came from the deepest level of hell then reverberated through the sky, "My orders to each and every cultivator at or above Heavenly Dharma is to find the boy from the Zhong Shan Clan and bring him to me! Yanqin, we will move as well."
Zhurong Yanqin nodded, and Clan Master Xia\'s eyes turned colder than ever. He gazed at Xia Zhongjin and said, "Zhongjin, leave for the Heavenly Lord Palace, and wake the grand ancestor\'s saint weapon!"
