Chapter 2294: Chapter 653: Instant Fame Through a Single Battle (Must-Read)
Old Jin’s cat-like eyes narrowed, his entire body brimming with wild killing intent. He stared at An Yiqing for a moment, then turned and ran towards Long Zixuan, summoning a barrier that locked everyone inside.
"Master, my barrier can only last twenty minutes. After twenty minutes, if we die, we die together!"
An Yiqing gave Old Jin a deep look, then turned and leapt onto a tree branch, her eyes calmly staring into the sixteen blood-red eyes of Orochi.
Sixteen eyes, two blinded by her, one scratched by Zixuan. The Thirteen Blood Generals worked together to injure the serpent’s body to a dreadful extent, and although they were injured, this rotten serpent was not doing any better!
Anpei Lan, if I can leave this time, I will ensure the Anpei Family is left with no survivors! freeωebnovēl.c૦m
Slowly closing her watery eyes, An Yiqing tightly gripped the Qingying Sword, her breath steady. In her mind, The Fourth Style of Shennong Nine Style slowly emerged. A vast starry river, the twenty-eight constellations, the boundless mysteries of the universe, all transformed into a hurricane mixed with lightning, sweeping around An Yiqing.
In the Black Forest, dense foliage began to sway violently. A gust of fierce wind swept around, countless trees swayed. Dust and sand rose from the ground, and countless wild animals in the forest seemed to feel an overwhelming pressure, crouching and weeping, yet not daring to make any noise.
The crowd only saw An Yiqing standing on the branch, her aura suddenly changing, as if she had become one with the world. Immediately, a pervasive pressure swept in, making even breathing slightly difficult for everyone.
The twenty Onmyoji releasing yin-yang power within the barrier all shuddered, their faces turning pale. Then, in a strange twist, they once again increased their strength, raising Orochi’s divine power another level.
Long Zixuan leaned against An Zhiying, frowning as he watched the scene, "Something’s wrong with these Onmyoji."
"What do you mean?" An Zhiying asked.
"By logic, even though twenty Onmyoji are quite powerful, it’s impossible for them to summon Orochi, let alone boost its power to this extent. If I’m not mistaken, the appearance of Orochi is just an auxiliary action for them. Behind them should be someone with even greater power, using yin-yang energy to support Orochi!"
Long Zixuan quickly closed his eyes, filtering through the characters of the Anpei Family in his mind. If his guess was correct, the person behind Orochi should be that old ancestor of the Anpei Family!
No wonder, no wonder he couldn’t defeat Orochi! No wonder even when all of them combined, they couldn’t defeat these twenty Onmyoji! With that ancestor who’s lived for over a thousand years supporting them, if they could win, that would be odd!
"Sister An can’t keep fighting!" Long Zixuan yelled, ready to rush out, but was bounced back by Old Jin’s barrier.
"Stay put! I promised her twenty minutes, and no one is allowed to interfere!" Old Jin shouted furiously.
Long Zixuan turned pale with urgency, "Let me out quickly, I’ll take Sister An away! That old thing from the Anpei Family is scheming from behind, she stands no chance!"
"Get back!" Old Jin swatted Long Zixuan back, "Master never fights an unwinnable battle. Do you think she’s someone who just courts death without reason?"
Long Zixuan was stunned, as were the others.
And just then, An Yiqing moved. Stepping on celestial steps, the Qingying Sword traced bright arcs through the air. Everywhere it passed, the air seemed so saturated it almost exploded. Orochi, feeling the overwhelming pressure from all directions, became extremely agitated and charged at An Yiqing with its eight heads shaking violently.
...
Xuanjin, Xuandu City.
Eddie, leading a team to protect Xia Hau, was very frustrated. He hadn’t expected Xia Hau and Ruan Xue to be so sensitive, noticing something unusual at the slightest oversight.
"What on earth is going on?" Xia Hau asked, his face stern.
"Mr. Xia, it’s really nothing. The Church has been restless lately, so my father was worried about your safety and sent me back to Xuanjin early." Eddie explained ruefully, not daring to meet Xia Hau’s penetrating gaze.
Ruan Xue, frowning all along, quickly filtered through recent events in her mind. Moments later, her face turned pale. "Is it something happening with Xiao Qing? The only one around Little Fatty in Country Fei is her. Did something happen to her?"
Eddie was taken aback, a flicker of panic in his eyes, which Ruan Xue captured successfully.
"What exactly happened to her?!" Ruan Xue grabbed Eddie’s collar and demanded anxiously.
