BXBX NOVEL Chapter 786 - Duel!
Chapter 786: Duel!
Shangguan Jing immediately shouted, “Liuyue, be careful!”
Even though this Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed hasn’t completely matured, it already can’t be underestimated! According to Chu Liuyue’s current abilities, it would be hard to stop it with her own force.
Without thinking, the ancestor immediately leaped toward Chu Liuyue!
Chu Liuyue’s heart felt warm as she said, “Ancestor, don’t worry. I know what to do.”
The Tianling Dynasty’s ancestor turned around strangely and saw Chu Liuyue stand up.
A thought popped up in her mind, and a faint layer of golden light rapidly formed in front of her! In the blink of an eye, it quickly manifested into a set of pure gold armor!
Chu Liuyue held the black shield in her left hand and the Long Yuan Sword in her right as harsh murderous intent spread from all over her.
“Y-you want to duel with it head-on?!” Shangguan Jing was so shocked that he lost his voice.
Chu Liuyue’s red lips slightly curled up as a smile appeared on her face. Her black, gem-like eyes seemed to be sparkling!
“If I don’t do it, it won’t let me go.” Her tone was nonchalant and light, but her every word had willpower with overflowing determination, confidence, and combat power.
After being trapped in here for a year, she already knew what the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed was thinking.
This thing is spiritual, and one could even say that it has a certain mind of its own. I can use all sorts of ways to snatch its force, but I have to defeat it completely if I want it to concede genuinely!
Chu Liuyue’s surrounding force surged up.
The crack on the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed crystal became even bigger.
Looking at Chu Liuyue’s ever so persistent gaze, Shangguan Jing’s words of advice were all stuck in his throat. He couldn’t voice them out.
There seemed to be something tumbling in his chest. Finally, he lightly nodded.
A figure then flashed across and returned to the Long Yuan Sword. The only thing I can do is try my best to help her!
Whir!
The Long Yuan Sword slashed through the wind!
Chu Liuyue’s thoughts changed as the water curtain in front of her dissipated and quickly formed a water droplet again before returning to her body.
The barrier between the two disappeared!
Chu Liuyue formally went against the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed!
Ka!
Accompanying this crisp sound, the crystal was instantly filled with cracks!
Those chips quickly merged into the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed like water and finally formed a thin layer of frost on it. Then, a dark-green, knuckle-sized Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed was completely exposed in front of Chu Liuyue!
Chu Liuyue held the Long Yuan Sword in her hands tightly before she raised it up high slowly.
The space surrounding the Heaven-Wrecking Holy Seed started to collapse silently.
“Long Yuan Sword!”
The sword landed! At that moment, it was as if the moon landed in a bed of stars as everywhere dazzled brightly!
…
Mirror Lake.
After Jiang Yucheng and the rest went back the same way, they returned to the triangular stone area. They then chose their direction and went toward the intersection point between the Mystic Forest and the Mirror Lake.
It was currently daytime. The sun hung high, and there were no clouds within miles.
Mirror Lake was completely calm, and it reflected the clear, blue sky as the water glistened and looked very charming. Other than this, they couldn’t see anything amiss.
Song Luan couldn’t help but mutter, “This Mirror Lake seems fine. Why would Elder Qiuxi…”
Jian Shuye chuckled. “Song Luan, if you’re really curious, why don’t you directly barge in? Then, you’ll know.”
Song Luan had an ugly expression. “I was just curious, so I casually asked. Even if I were to take action, we’d have to wait until we see the Dancing Lotus.”
Jiang Yucheng directly said, “The Dancing Lotus is right there. Can you see it?”
Upon hearing this, the few of them looked over. They saw that on the vast water surface, there seemed to be a flower that swayed with the wind.
As they were a little far from it, they couldn’t see it very clearly.
Jian Shuye teased, “Song Luan, the Dancing Lotus is right in front. Why don’t you go first?”
Song Luan instantly felt stifled. “I’ll go first then! Since we’re already here, why would I be afraid of this?!”
Song Luan’s tone was agitated, but he regretted it once he said it.
However, he already said it and couldn’t go back on his words, so he could only take a deep breath in and hurriedly walk to the front of them.
Jian Shuye chuckled. When we reach there, Song Luan will still chicken out.
As expected, Song Luan gradually slowed down after walking for a while. The closer they got to the Dancing Lotus, the more hesitant his actions were.
Jian Shuye looked at the lake surface and curiously asked, “Hm? Why is there so much floating ice on the lake? It didn’t seem to be like this when I came here before. If I don’t remember wrongly, there isn’t winter in Mirror Lake. Therefore, ice shouldn’t be forming…”
‘You’re right—Mirror Lake was like this in the past. These floating ice pieces had already appeared when we came the previous time, but there weren’t so many.” Jiang Yucheng looked in front and seemed solemn. “We don’t know what happened either.”
“Quickly, look! The layer of ice on the water is going to connect with our side!” said Xiahou Rong in shock as he pointed to the front.
There was a long bank between the Mystic Forest and Mirror Lake, but the bank wasn’t in a straight line. Hence, certain parts of the bank were a little closer to the Dancing Lotus in the centermost position, while others were further away.
Not far in front of them, there seemed to be places that caved in by the side of Mirror Lake. That was the closest place to the Dancing Lotus.
At this point, the floating ice pieces on Mirror Lake’s surface connected together to coincidentally form an ice bridge, connecting both parts.
Without a doubt, going over from this place had the highest probability of safely getting the Dancing Lotus.
Jian Shuye glanced at Song Luan. “Song Luan, you… should go first, right?”
Song Luan wanted to reject him, but he still clenched his teeth and agreed in the end.
A purplish-golden sword appeared in front of him! He then jumped up and rode on the sword.
The Dancing Lotus swayed gently. Gradually, a thin layer of frost appeared on its translucent petals.
