Chapter 499 - Escaped
“Master, senior sister seems to have been lured by the demon!”
“She’s going that way…”
“Gosh! How embarrassing!”
Before they could finish their words, they heard a furious yell, “Demon, where are you?! Take my Heavenly Mirror!”
Following the shout, a round mirror, that seemed to be made of gold and jade, flew out.
A white beam shot from the mirror, automatically locking one spot in the distant ocean.
The others’ faces turned dark, and they thought, Damn! We don’t even see the monster yet, yet he used the Heavenly Mirror already?
“Daoist Friend Duan… aren’t you going to reserve your spiritual essence…” The Xichi Spiritual Master was at a loss for words; she knew that Heavenly Mirror’s consumption of spiritual essence was horrifyingly high.
“It’s fine. My mimic of the Heavenly Mirror only has two functions, which are locking and searching! It’s fine!” Duan Yue laughed, “I’ve locked it down.”
“Watch my Ghost-God-Slaying Spell!” A fiery red sword energy struck out like a huge mountain. Instantly, dark-red bloody water surged up from the spot shone by the white light beam.
“Good sword technique!”
“Good spiritual treasure!”
They all looked smug while complimenting each other.
When the corpse which had been hacked into two halves floated to the surface of the ocean, they saw that it was a snake-like body with thin black hair on its head.
“This is…!?”
“What’s this?!” Everyone exchanged a look of bafflement.
This was not an ordinary demon; it was something none of the Divine Ocean Realm cultivators had ever seen before. More importantly, the demon’s presence was even more powerful than that of the Divine Ocean Realm. If not for the swift sword strike from Red Wing Daoist, it would have gotten away.
At this moment, the singing from the depths of the ocean got even gloomier and creepier, and more sound waves appeared and overlapped, greatly disturbing the mind of the low-leveled cultivators even though they kept chanting the Ice Heart Mental Technique.
“No! There are more!”
“That demon isn’t dead!” The demon which had just floated to the surface took this opportunity to dive back into the ocean.
“There are more than one! Everyone, be careful!”
The series of strange singing came from all directions, oozing endless hatred and murderous spirit.
Even the Divine Ocean Realm cultivators felt fuzzy and anxious, let alone those who were at the True Lake Realm.
“Damn it!” The hot-tempered Black Demon couldn’t bear it anymore. “All of you! Cover your ears!”
Instantly, Black Demon cast a spell. His black murderous spirit extended into the sky and suddenly created a gloomy blood-colored shadow.
The blood-colored shadow struck fear in everyone’s mind as soon as it appeared.
“Take my Blood Demon Roar!” Black Demon used his tremendous spiritual essence to condense the shape of the Youquan Blood Demon from Shu Mountain. This new spell, which mimicked the sensation of the Youquan Blood Demon’s roar in Shu Mountain, had been improved and was becoming complete.
Roar!
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The earth-shaking, ocean-moving roar split open the sea water, erupting huge waves to both sides. All the sounds in the region were crushed by this furious roar, and several clouds of blood mists exploded at the bottom of the ocean.
“Damn it!” Black Demon withdrew the technique and exhaled a mouthful of turbid air. “It’s finally quiet!”
Red Wing Daoist and Duan Yue exchanged a look, and their faces twitched a little.
“No! More of them are coming up!” Blood didn’t seem to drive away the demons. Instead, it seemed to stimulate their fierce nature.
The water boiled and the sand from the bottom of the ocean rose to the surface. Many black shadows swam in the turbulent waves.
“You guys! Quickly look down at the ocean!”
They seemed to see that an enormous black shadow was swimming up from the bottom.
“Hey! Watch my Innumerable Sword Scroll!” Many swords suddenly shot down from the sky.
“Great heavenly power, turn into godly lightning and follow the direction of my sword! Watch my Godly Sword Lightning-Controlling True Spell!” Lightning bolts gathered and struck down with booming noises.
“Ice Roar!” Many ice pallets crashed toward the bottom of the ocean.
“Ghost-God-Slaying Spell!” A red light rose like a mountain.
“Watch my Heavenly Mirror!” Duan Yue used his Heavenly Mirror again.
“Summon Godly Beast!” Someone raised his Dragon Fang Sword.
The godly beast appeared on the surface of the ocean.
Gulu… Gulu…
It sank into the ocean.
“…”
“Damn it! Watch my Heavenly Sword!”
A giant, horrifying godly sword was condensed in the sky.
In the rolling thunders in the sky, the cultivators all used the Innumerable Sword Scroll together, almost blocking out the sky with countless sword energies.
“Wu!” With a deep groan, the seawater surged, and the huge shadow swam back to the bottom of the ocean slowly.
It escaped!
…
Meanwhile, in the Yuanyang City Shop, Zong Wu, Gu Tingyun, and the others were also watching the new movie ‘Final Fantasy 7’.
The war finally came to an end. Cloud barely won the battle with his ultimate move ‘Omnislash’, and Sephiroth, who had just returned, was sent to the place where he belonged.
The people finally could walk out of the ruins, and the dark clouds scattered, revealing the sunshine that they hadn’t seen for a long time.
The bleak, dirty ruined cities full of tragic memories looked welcoming and beautiful in the temporary peace.
Perhaps people would rebuild the cities from the ruins, and perhaps the children and friends were waiting for the return of their hero ‘Cloud’.
Wars were cold. However, people could only feel the warmth of the scenes at the end of the story after witnessing the damage that the war had inflicted.
“Ahahahaha!” Castellan Zong Wu raced out of the shop as soon as he finished watching the movie. “I feel like I obtained so much understanding about battles!”
Taking out a weapon from his storage spiritual artifact, he started to practice and wave it wildly on the street.
“I feel like I’ve mastered many new battle techniques.”
“Hahaha! I feel so good!”
The passersby looked at him at a loss for words.
“Senior Sister!” Mu Qing said, “I feel like… I’ve suddenly understood many things.”
“So do I… It’s so powerful…” Yue Bai exclaimed.
“You’re right!” Tang Yu said with a laugh, “I feel like I can battle with warriors up-close!”
“I can’t wait to try them!” Rushing out of the shop, Xun Yuan picked up a weapon on the side and started swinging.
“Humph! Watch me!” Obviously, Jiang Xiaoyue had also learned many techniques.
“Me! Me! Me!” The big white deer ran out with happy shouts. After paying the activation fee with gritted teeth, it suddenly memorized many sword techniques and important basic knowledge after watching the movie.
It danced out of the door. “I can use the sword techniques too! I’ll show you!”
Just as it lifted its two hooves, it saw how the others were gripping the sword handles with both hands and then it looked back at its hooves.
“Wah!” It burst into tears.
