Chapter 206: The Battle Began, Lu Yu Broke Free!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The body of the hundred-meters tall black behemoth was completely covered with the huge purple eyes that had just opened. Whether it was the back or front, the top of the head or the tail, every inch was covered with eyes that were constantly rotating, giving people a creepy, frightening feeling!
It was like a monster demon straight out of mythology. One must not look at it directly, lest he fell into a state of hallucination.
Roar! Looking at the woman in white in front of it, the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon roared loudly again. Beams of purple light shot out from numerous purple eyes in a murderous attack.
Ji Xi didn’t have time to set the bow and draw the arrow. Thus, she could only deploy the domain to protect herself while evading and dodging continuously in lightning quick movements.
Uncle Fu was shielding Ji Xi to lessen the pressure on her, but his paltry efforts were insufficient. Soon, she was hit by a beam of purple light and fell to the ground.
“Everyone, cover the woman in white and buy time for her to attack.” Wang Lu spoke up.
Ouyang Wen, Song Yu, Qin Yong, Zhang Xilai and the others all rushed forward to meet the enemy with their strongest combat power. With the Grand Master leading the way, the rest divided up the workload to deal with their enemy collectively.
The City Lords of Boulder Rock City and Northern Chill City saw the aura of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon and refused to go forward out of fear. Wang Lu appeared behind the two, baring his teeth and said, “What’s wrong with the two of you? Are you afraid?”
“Your humble subordinate wouldn’t dare.” The two men were so frightened that their bodies were trembling. They could only grit their teeth and pushed forward to attack the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon. However, in reality, they stayed on the sidelines pretending to fight. They simply couldn’t be bothered to put in any real effort.
Wang Lu was so incensed that his lips quivered. When all this was over, he must submit an application to the federal government to have these two goons replaced.
Finally, with the help of these people covering her, Ji Xi once again had the opportunity to attack. The moonlight radiance coalesced on the big green bow, and arrow after arrow shot out like shooting stars. The arrows burst out with dazzling light, then exploded deafeningly.
The purple eyes of the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon burst out one after another, gushing blood profusely. With a cry of pain, the monster’s bloody flesh wriggled and writhed, and new purple eyes grew in their places quickly.
After that, even more blinding purple light radiated, forming a purple-hued domain. Everyone caught within the domain became sluggish and their movements slowed down to a crawl.
“Implement Plan B at once!” Ouyang Wen roared out loud.
The various battalion captains lined up in certain predesignated rows, staging a formation with their Grand Master’s auras surging. With a two-fingered gesture, they all drew out their long swords and sliced out numerous rays of sharp, malicious sword light.
“Shapeless Sword Formation!”
Each man with a sword in his hand went charging at the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon. Instantly, countless rays of sword energy several dozen meters long went slashing out.
With a mighty sweep of its tail, the Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon shattered all the beams of sword energy. It gave a heavy snort, disdain clearly displayed in every purple eye. Thereafter, its tail swept out at its opponents, which looked like tiny ants in its eyes.
The formation changed again. Ouyang Wen and the others scattered before regrouping. This time, the long swords in their hands flew out in unison, chopping at the tail that came sweeping in.
Clang! Showers of sparks burst out. That tail was completely unharmed, but the long swords were all flung off by the impact.
Ouyang Wen’s face changed drastically. That defensive ability was really terrifying. Their attacks could not break through the skin of the Hundred -Eyed Purple Dragon at all. Furthermore, under the constantly sweeping rays of purple light, their movements were severely restricted.
Many cultivators of the First Military Unit were caught in the hallucination. They fell down to the ground like a scattering of sand, many of them dead or wounded.
“Goddammit! I don’t believe that I can’t restrain you!” Zhang Xilai rounded to the back of the Hundred -Eyed Purple Dragon, cursing and swearing.
As one of the veteran soldiers of the Holy War back then, his method was rough and crude. He chopped down with one sword strike on one of the gaping wounds, in which an eye had just been destroyed but a new eye had yet to grow out.
The sword blade penetrated right through, but there was no sign of blood gushing out madly. Zhang Xilai was stunned momentarily, but in the next second, his expression changed drastically. “Oh no! This is its hallucinogenic ability!”
A tail broke through the air and swept solidly onto Zhang Xilai’s body. The veteran Grand Master was flung out like he was struck by lightning. His whole body turned into a bloody mangled mess. Just as the tail swept by again for a finishing blow, Uncle Fu’s figure flashed and saved Zhang Xilai out in the nick of time.
“Uncle Fu, buy a little more time.” Suddenly, Ji Xi said in a low voice. Her expression was unprecedentedly solemn.
“Miss, is it time to use that ultimate move? But that move places extreme demands on the body. Even with the Bow of Moon’s Chariot in hand to maintain optimum compatibility, the ensuing damage is still substantial.”
“Yes!” she said. In the end, Uncle Fu nodded his head though his face was fraught with worry.
On the other side, in the midst of the endless darkness,
Lu Yu wielded his saber and tore the illusionary realm apart again and again, but found that no matter what he did, he could not leave the place.
“What the hell is going on in this place?” Lu Yu frowned. The mental power that had multiplied several times spread out in this space. He found that the earlier barriers were no longer there, but the space seemed to be totally without boundary. There was no way for him to stab his way out.
“My perception has been restored, but why is it I still can’t leave this place?”
Lu Yu’s frown deepened further. If he carried on like this, his power would be depleted and then he would die. “Could it be that the others cannot sense my existence, so in their eyes, I am as good as non-existent? Therefore, I am unable to leave this place?”
If this was really the case, this particular illusionary realm was too terrifying. Not only was it able to make Lu Yu forget the perception of his own existence, but it was also able to make others forget about him. This was equivalent to killing Lu Yu from another perspective.
“Captain Lu…” Suddenly, a voice called out, filled with urgency.
Trapped in the illusionary realm, Lu Yu was like a man lost in the deep sea who had seen the lighthouse and was immediately pointed in the right direction. Lu Yu’s mental power spread out and reached out towards this ‘lighthouse’.
In a flash, Lu Yu’s consciousness snapped back to reality. He saw Niu Xianzu who was calling out to him, and said in amazement, “Deputy Captain Niu, how did you sense me?”
With Niu Xianzu’s current strength, there was no way he could have achieved this feat. Niu Xianzu himself was dumbfounded too. He said in surprise, “Sense what? I only saw Captain Lu trapped in a mirror-like space, and tried to call out to you…”
Lu Yu was stunned. So it turned out that this illusionary realm could only make himself forget the perception of his own existence, and not make others forget about him. That made more sense. An SS-class Fearsome Beast could not possibly have such an ability, no matter how outrageous its powers were.
Therefore, Niu Xianzu was able to rescue him by mistake.
Lu Yu patted Niu Xianzu’s shoulder and said with deep sincerity, “Deputy Captain Niu, I still have to thank you. If I get out of this alive, I will definitely promote you to be the captain of the 4th Battalion.”
Hearing these words, Niu Xianzu felt ashamed of himself instantly. Compared to Captain Lu, his own complete lack of magnanimity was so glaring. He was gauging the heart of a gentleman with his own mean measure.
“Captain Lu, you are too kind. This…” Before Niu Xianzu could finish his sentence, Lu Yu interrupted him. “The priority now is to kill that Hundred-Eyed Purple Dragon. We can save these words of formality for later.”
He could sense that deep in the blood-sucking wasteland, a fierce battle was going on. The aura of that SS-class Fearsome Beast was sweeping in right now, shaking the entire blood -sucking wasteland..
