Chapter 514: Chapter 508: Capturing the Chongming Bird Alive
When Elder Bai and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder appeared, the Chongming Bird knew that today’s situation couldn’t be resolved peacefully.
Without a word, the Chongming Bird thrust his hand forward, unleashing a surge of immense energy.
The Chongming Bird’s attack was fierce; he intended to use this blow to repel Elder Bai and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, and then escape.
Watching the Chongming Bird’s retreating figure, Elder Bai remained unflustered, watching quietly with a faint smile.
However, just as the Chongming Bird was about to escape from the Silent Sea Bottom, a large net appeared out of nowhere above the sea surface.
The net descended like a collapsing mountain, covering the Chongming Bird and forcing him back.
"Heh!" Elder Bai sneered, saying to the Chongming Bird, "Chongming Bird, you really thought I was just playing earlier?"
"With my carefully arranged array, you think it’s easy to escape?"
The Chongming Bird’s expression was grim as he shouted coldly, "Bai, I’m now the Great Auspicious Buddha under the World Honored. Have you considered the consequences of attacking me?"
Upon hearing this, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder sneered dismissively, "We don’t fear the World Honored, why would we fear your threats?"
"You should be grateful that it’s us here today and not the Peacock Great Ming King. If the Peacock Great Ming King were here, you’d find neither life nor death an option."
At this moment, the Chongming Bird was truly panicked; his so-called Great Auspicious Buddha status couldn’t intimidate Elder Bai and the others at all.
In fact, by now, the Chongming Bird understood that Elder Bai and company appeared just for him.
At this moment, the Chongming Bird’s only hope was that the commotion from his fight with Elder Bai would alert the sect’s Buddhas to come to his aid.
If not, the outcome could be dire.
However, the Silent Sea naturally shielded from energy fluctuations, so to get their combat energy fluctuations out, they needed to fight as close to the surface as possible.
At this moment, the Chongming Bird had a general plan in mind.
Against two opponents, the Chongming Bird stood little chance, so he chose to strike first.
As the Chongming Bird raised his hand, dozens of monstrous creatures resembling both fish and bird emerged from the Silent Sea, rushing towards Elder Bai and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder to bite and tear.
The monsters simulated from the Silent Sea’s water by the Chongming Bird were Kun.
In the sea, they are fish; in the sky, they are birds; on a basketball court, they would play basketball.
As the Kun attacked, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder remained calm, manifesting her true Nine-Tailed Fox form behind her.
The nine tails of the Nine-Tailed Fox, like whips, continuously lashed the Kun.
Each hit shattered a Kun.
Elder Bai wasn’t idle either; he formed seals with his hands, activating the pre-placed formation.
Above the Undersea Dragon Palace, formations emerged, manifesting giant thunder swords that slashed towards the Chongming Bird.
Faced with the onslaught of thunder swords, the Chongming Bird dodged left and right, avoiding Elder Bai’s attacks.
"Bai, you’re bold to attack me here! Even though the Silent Sea can shield energy fluctuations, it can’t completely hide the battle of Tier Two Peak."
"Over time, our combat will surely be detected, and by then, you’ll have nowhere to run."
"Be wise and let me go, and we’ll stay out of each other’s way," the Chongming Bird gritted his teeth and said.
The Chongming Bird was truly anxious; not to mention facing two, he wasn’t a match for either opponent.
Against two, defeat was certain.
The longer the fight, the more he fell into disadvantage.
Hearing the Chongming Bird’s words, Elder Bai hesitated, seemingly contemplating whether to let him go.
However, moments later, Elder Bai smiled and said, "Indeed, thanks for reminding me that the Silent Sea can’t completely shield the aftermath of Tier Two Peak battles!"
After saying this, Elder Bai addressed Black Dragon Heaven, "Black Dragon Heaven, have your men drill on the sea surface, real combat practice."
"Especially those twenty-eight Tier Three Peaks, let them engage in pair combat, create as much energy fluctuation as possible."
The Silent Sea can’t completely obscure Tier Two Peak battle aftermath, allowing some energy to leak out?
Alright then, Elder Bai directly instructed Black Dragon Heaven’s men to drill on the Silent Sea’s surface, generating a great deal of combat energy.
This way, even if the World Honored’s people passed by, they’d assume these combat energies were leaked from the sea surface drills.
Elder Bai’s move effectively cut off the Chongming Bird’s escape route!
The Chongming Bird seemed to be at a dead end, with little chance of turning the tables.
"Understood, I’ll order my subordinates to drill on the sea surface immediately!" Black Dragon Heaven responded from afar.
Elder Bai’s move meant that they could engage the Chongming Bird in a protracted battle.
With the sea surface drills as cover, the Chongming Bird would find it hard to wait for reinforcement.
"Black Dragon Heaven, what exactly did Bai offer you? Why are you helping him?"
"Whatever he offered, we can double it!" the Chongming Bird continued to struggle.
Unfortunately, the Chongming Bird didn’t know that Black Dragon Heaven was Lin Yuan’s avatar, and no matter what benefits he promised, Black Dragon Heaven wouldn’t help them.
By now, Elder Bai wouldn’t give the Chongming Bird a chance to struggle anymore; he and the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder launched a fierce attack from front and back.
At this moment, Black Dragon Heaven shouted from afar, "I’ll tell you what Bai offered me before you die."
Elder Bai formed seals with his hands, activating the pre-placed formation to restrict the Chongming Bird’s movement. Suddenly, the surrounding gravity increased, making him feel as if submerged in the Ruishui River.
Beside him, the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder manifested the true form of the Nine-Tailed Fox, launching a fierce attack on the Chongming Bird.
Elder Bai focused on restricting the Chongming Bird’s movements, while the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder focused on attacking; their cooperation was seamless.
As the battle continued, the Chongming Bird found it increasingly difficult to hold on.
The Fox tails of the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder lashed like whips, shattering the water beasts one after another that the Chongming Bird had manifested.
At one point, the Fox tails even struck the Chongming Bird’s body, leaving visible marks on his skin.
With the joint efforts of the Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder and Elder Bai, the Chongming Bird had no chance of victory; as time went on, his injuries only worsened.
After about half an hour, the Chongming Bird was severely injured, and Elder Bai’s formation completely trapped him.
The surrounding seawater was condensed by the formation into a cage, imprisoning the Chongming Bird inside, with formation-forged chains clasping his clavicle, preventing any struggle.
Clamped by the clavicle, the Chongming Bird’s physical body and divine soul were thoroughly confined.
At this moment, the Chongming Bird was utterly helpless.
