Transformation Diagram: Starting as a Skinny Dog-Chapter 547 - 352: Xuanming True Ice Qi (Part 2)
Boom!
A tremendous noise suddenly erupted from the dense forest ahead, as if a bronze bell collided with another bronze bell.
"That direction... it’s where Ning Ji the Taoist is!"
Old Monster Wei’s face changed dramatically, dread filled his heart, and he hurriedly asked the dharma conch of Ning Ji the Taoist:
"Ning Ji! Who is it? What happened to you?"
However,
despite the frantic shouting, there was still no reply from Ning Ji the Taoist in the dharma conch.
"What?"
It wasn’t just Old Monster Wei who was shaken to the core.
Voices of shock and disbelief echoed from within the dharma conch:
Jing Yuanzi shouted from the dharma conch: "Ning Ji Daoyou, what happened on your side?"
Among the six of them, he had the best relationship with Ning Ji the Taoist, akin to Taoist partners, living together in a small Taoist temple outside Yan Capital, always indulging in alchemy and philosophical discussions.
Therefore, with disturbances on Ning Ji the Taoist’s side, he was the most anxious.
Granny Shu also anxiously asked: "Quick, we need to meet up! It’s obvious that this is a targeted assassination against the six of us. The enemy knows our locations too well. First, it was Old Man Meng, and now it’s Ning Ji the Taoist. Could it be that our identities and positions have long been exposed? Otherwise, how could two of us have incidents happening one after another so quickly!"
Chu Zhaoran’s heartbeat accelerated and he voiced a suspicion: "Could it be that someone is plotting against us, attacking us all at once? Should we spread out and each find a safe place first?"
For a moment, he instinctively didn’t want to gather towards the center of the dense forest, wishing only to flee this now-dangerous forest.
Yet, Old Monster Wei shouted at the dharma conch: "Don’t separate! We don’t know who is targeting us. If we split up, we’ll be picked off one by one. We must gather quickly to figure things out and be prepared for battle."
In a short time, two Eighth Realm experts encountered trouble, Old Man Meng among them was an expert at the Eighth Realm’s peak.
This made Old Monster Wei somewhat terrified.
He wanted to converge with the others as soon as possible, seeking strength in numbers.
However, just as he executed his movement technique, pushing his speed to the limit, and was about to approach the center of the dense forest.
Woo~~~
The air in the dense forest was suddenly pierced by something quick, pulling a long trail of Qi waves, instantly shattering one towering ancient tree after another...
"What is that?"
Almost in the instant of continuous explosions, a blue figure appeared in Old Monster Wei’s vision, reflecting in his eyes a three-foot-long eagle head, resembling a blue spear piercing through the sky, directly stabbing at his heart.
"Green Divine Eagle!!"
As the thought flickered through his mind, he roared out, recognizing it as the Green Divine Eagle that had slain the White Scale Eagle in the heavens. Before he could ponder further, the Green Divine Eagle, carrying a gust of wind, was already upon him.
In just a fraction of a moment, seeing it was about to pierce through his heart.
In a millisecond, Old Monster Wei’s body burst forth with endless rolling Xuanming Gang Qi, instantly freezing the earth beneath him, turning the ground into a snowy plain, and forming a three-foot radius of protective Gang Qi around his body.
Clang!
As if faster than lightning, the talons of the Green Divine Eagle slammed into Old Monster Wei’s protective Gang Qi before his chest, as if clawing at an ancient, unyielding iceberg, resulting in a clash that rang like metal on metal, causing the Green Divine Eagle’s body to shudder vehemently, and blood to splatter from its claws.
"Even with its unparalleled speed that outshines all eagles, in the face of my True Marrow Protective Xuan Gang, it’s nothing but a moth to a flame..."
Seeing his Protective Xuan Gang shaking off the Green Divine Eagle, swift as could hardly be captured by vision, Old Monster Wei, after a fleeting moment of terror, coldly and grimly said with a sardonic smile:
"Just a feathered beast at the Seventh Realm peak, trying to ambush me, you are unqualified. Let your master come!"
As soon as the words fell, a large hand as wide as a fan slipped from his sleeve, rolling with the Xuanming Gang Qi, freezing the air, ready to choke the neck of the Green Divine Eagle, directly to snap it.
But at this moment.
Bang!
From beneath the ground, a silhouette suddenly emerged, and as Old Monster Wei extended his hand towards the Green Divine Eagle’s incarnation, a staff swung at his legs.
"Not good!" Old Monster Wei was appalled.
In the blink of an eye, he saw reflected in his pupils the half-revealed figure of a youth on the ground, swinging the staff towards him.
Instinctively, he wanted to fly up into the air.
Unexpectedly.
Boom!
As the youth swung the staff, rays of light beam from his eyes like golden pillars, instantly pinning his body down.
Divine Skill! One Acre Golden Light!
This innate divine ability of the ancient strange beast, the Golden Light Centipede, was unleashed by Chen Ku in an instant. Even faced with Old Monster Wei at the Eighth Realm peak, it couldn’t achieve absolute dominance, but with Chen Ku’s multiple powerful transformations, it still caused Old Monster Wei’s aerial ascent to stagnate.
Bang!
The staff swept across, breaking Old Monster Wei’s legs, sending his body flying askew to the left, crashing into a millennia-old tree, shattering it, amidst flying wood chips and blood!
"It’s Chen Ku!!!"
And having his legs broken by a staff swing, his body spinning, nearly crippled, Old Monster Wei finally roared into the dharma conch:
"It’s that youth!!! Come save me!!!"
Yet,
Just as he shouted these two sentences.
He saw an icy, moon-like axe, tossed by Chen Ku who emerged from underground, hurling towards him.
In an instant, Old Monster Wei’s vision was filled only with that small, seemingly delicate axe.
Yet it emanated an immensely dangerous and terrifying Qi Mechanism.
Old Monster Wei let out a heart-wrenching scream, and in the moment when his legs were lost, he used all his might, activating the formation within his body, the ’Xuanyin Nine Nether Array’, and deployed an Ultimate Skill he had perfected to an art:
"Xuanming True Ice Qi!"
In an instant, from within the body array, an endless extreme yin cold Qi surged out, instantly freezing Old Monster Wei, turning him into an ice block.
This was the martial essence of his Xuanming Great Method, capable of encasing himself in ice, forming a defense comparable to a Divine Weapon, though the downside being immobilization post-sealing, essentially a living dead, awaiting gradual cultivation to lift.
But it was better than being killed by Chen Ku on the spot.
Upon successfully inducing the Xuanming True Ice Qi, legless Old Monster Wei subconsciously heaved a sigh of relief because once his Protective Martial Arts was executed, it would at least delay until the other three could arrive, by then...
Unexpectedly, just as he assumed so.
Crack!
The Jade Axe cleaved into the ice block his body had become, with just one chop, shattering the True Ice encasing him, the edge piercing through his skull.
Silver Light flashed through Old Monster Wei’s mind.
His head was split in two by the axe.
His last thought before death echoed in a roar:
"Impossible..."
This self-sealing Ultimate Skill could even withstand a Divine Weapon, how could it...
[The Diagram Master annihilated Old Monster Wei, obtaining one Eighth Realm Evil Qi]
Watching a strand of Evil Qi drift from Old Monster Wei’s body, merging into the Transformation Diagram on his brow, Chen Ku reached out, sensing the "Immortal Weapon" Moon Repairing Axe return to his palm.
He intended to step forward and loot Old Monster Wei’s corpse.
Yet, his nose twitched, catching the scent of three Eighth Realm experts, just a few hundred yards away.
"Three of them are coming together."
