Chapter 571 Day of Reckoning 4
Sui Luxiao’s iron fan moved softly and at the same time swiftly as her attacks quickly started to overwhelm the Monarch who came to support the renegade Frozen Garden Palace.
Each attack was flowing into the next and every bit of strength that he used to defend was then absorbed and added into the flow of her attacks, the power she wielded escalating until his weapon cracked under the tremendous force.
But he was unable to get away or break the loop as her attacks had not only a growing and devastating power, but it was as if they controlled and sucked in the airflow around, creating a whirlwind and hindering his attempts at moving away.
*Clank!*
“Damn it all! You-… khak!”
Finally his weapon broke and the folded iron fan struck his chest that made a hole the size of a human head in it with ease even before the fan actually physically touched him, the sheer force she wielded traveling ahead of the weapon with Spiritual Qi.
On the other side…
“You won’t get away with this Qiu Yilao! Lord Gu will…!”
Wen Mei tried all her best against Qiu Yilao.
Her side was completely trampled by the forces of their opponents, none of her subordinates standing a chance, even with higher experience and skills, since the difference in cultivation was too high for their skills to matter in this instance.
The army of 2000 that Gu Zhen sent being akin to scarecrows.
“Save it for the Yama King, Wen Mei! He will gladly listen to you about what Gu Zhen will do, and then ask him what went wrong in person!”
Qiu Yilao relentlessly pushed the renegade Grand Elder to a corner.
The situation was in reverse in this fight as Wen Mei was the one using her iron fan, but was unable to build any flow as Qiu Yilao pursued her with a thin-bladed long spear with two smaller blade protrusions to the sides and even smaller in between distantly resembling the form of a snowflake, breaking the former’s flow at every turn with accurate and swift attacks.
There were three main schools of fight within the Frozen Garden Palace, the most popular of them being Spiritual Qi Icicle attacks that Xue Bing practiced, the Icicle Blade Spear that Qiu Yilao used, and the least popular because of high requirements to master it, the Iron Fan which was Sui Luxiao’s weapon of choice.
The Iron Fan, as witnessed in Sui Luxiao’s hands was a very dangerous weapon, but as demonstrated in this fight, could be an absolutely weak one as well, depending on the skill to build the flow and the opponent’s skill to break it.
*Pshh!*
“Kku~!… khak! pthoo!… you… will not… khak… prevail…!”
A thin spear blade impaled Wen Mei’s waist to the icy wall of the foundation of the Frozen Garden Palace’s Statue of the Founder on the main square, blood dying the wall behind her as she coughed out blood from her mouth as well and venomously looked at her nemesis.
“Haa~ … I… I only wanted-…”
At the end, she looked up at the towering statue above her as her eyes started to become duller and lose the light of life, releasing a trembling breath and started to speak something, but unable to finish as she fell onto the spear shaft.
“Haa~… I know”
Qiu Yilao drew a heavy sigh looking at that sight, her eyes not filled with triumph but rather a lament.
“What a drama, really, I am in tears! I must thank Lord Gu later for letting me witness such a spectacle!”
A female voice came from the skies as a lone figure floated down from the clouds that always were covering this snowy region, reflecting in the eyes of the members of the Frozen Garden Palace.
‘Hmm, it seems I was not sent here in vain as there is a target here…’
The Transcendent woman floating down from the skies narrowed her eyes reflecting Sui Luxiao.
—
A storm was raging around the Yin Yang Unity Palace, the flashes of lightning illuminating a figure that sat on a small hill.
The hill was uneven and of a strange shape, and with another flash of lightning, the entire hill was illuminated which revealed that it was made of corpses, most of them of veiled soldiers in armor, some of them of people in gray robes and some of Monarchs.
“How long do you plan to watch?”
Wu Long, sitting on the grotesque hill asked raising his eyes up to the stormy clouds above.
“Hahaha, incredible, simply incredible…
You really never betray my expectations, no you always manage to exceed them…”
Gu Zhen’s voice resounded as his figure appeared from within the clouds, accompanied by flashes of lightning that illuminated his face, half of which was distorted in a permanent grimace while the other wore his usual expression.
His hands were clapping, applauding Wu Long as he spoke with a twisted smile made with only half of his face.
“Whether it was keeping up with my schemes, which you managed to use against me…
After all, you cannot imagine how starved I was of a real opponent, whom my schemes would not be wasted on… who would understand… but I digress…
Destroying my Flame Projection along with a shard of my Soul… that was also unexpected to say the least…
You always manage to go above and beyond my expectations.
And your abilities… just now you obliterated this massive army in less time it would take for me to have a lunch.
And how can you use elemental powers when you are still very obviously a Mortal?
Even now, you knew where I would come in person as opposed to sending my subordinates and were waiting for me here in your Sect…
And though I am shocked that you think that you alone are enough to go against me, there is another question that I got to know the answer to…
How did you know? If you don’t mind me asking?”
Gu Zhen asked with a glint in his left eye, as the right one was permanently facing away and up, half-closed as the veins popped up under the skin of the entire right side of his face.
“That you would target here and not the Mansion? Attacking there was too predictable, and you bet on me defending there as you threatened me with everything I care about in our last encounter.
You also wanted to get rid of Old Man Zhao first to completely eliminate any obstacles before slowly cornering me”
Wu Long shrugged his shoulders.
“Hahaha! As I thought, marvelous!”
Gu Zhen chuckled, seemingly genuinely amused at the fact his scheme to outsmart Wu Long did not work yet again.
