Chapter 1098: Chapter 522: Unleash the Gold Spiral on It_2
Using the sword control technique passed down from Li, he turned one sword into thousands, manipulating the magical threads infused with sword intent towards Xiao Maoniang.
Half of the magical threads were slashed away by sharp claws, but the remaining half had already reached close to Xiao Maoniang.
It wasn’t a piercing move, but an entangling one.
A few strands of magical thread circled behind Xiao Maoniang, but instead of tightening, they ruaned upward against the fur.
The once smooth cat fur was now in disarray, even when it was going berserk.
With its fur standing on end, the foundational logic of Xiao Maoniang licking its fur conflicted with hissing; it was in a dilemma, neither able to hiss nor lick.
And Zhang Ze seized this opportunity to unleash his ultimate skill.
Having succeeded, Zhang Ze clenched his fist and shouted.
"Watch closely! This move is called the Sword Sect’s Grand Circling Egg-squeezing Swordsmanship, even the Sect Leader would shiver upon seeing it."
Under Zhang Ze’s control, the remaining sword-infused magical threads drew a perfect arc, winding around the eight pairs of Nainai before Xiao Maoniang and the bell under its crotch.
Though something seemed off, it didn’t really matter.
The sword intent-rich magical threads tightened more and more, penetrating into the flesh, and as the wound healed, the threads fused with the blood and flesh, burrowing deeper inward.
Nainai and the bell, under Zhang Ze’s command, began a perfect rotation using the magical threads as a skeleton, twirling to the limit, putting Nainai and the bell in a state of almost breaking.
Meanwhile, at the same time, Lily’s magical sound continued, with that eerie "Happy Birthday" song blaring.
Facing the double blow, the cat lady with Xiao Jing’s face finally got scared.
In its cloudy eyes, a trace of fear appeared, it clawed the flesh from its chest and crotch to shreds, then fled towards Baiyujing without looking back.
Returning to Baiyujing, Xiao Maoniang was still hissing, but judging by the weak sound of its hissing, it seemed like it wouldn’t come out anytime soon.
Seeing that the wretched cat had been driven away, Zhang Ze finally let out a sigh of relief, and after shutting off the broken radio making Lily’s voice disappear, he directly fell from the sky.
It took him a long time to get back on his feet from the ground.
Physically he was fine, but he was mentally exhausted.
Zhang Ze was long accustomed to a fighting style where great strength works miracles; the intricate control was truly taxing mentally, leaving his mind still dizzy.
After confirming that the cat lady was genuinely scared and wouldn’t return, Zhang Ze raised his hand, retracting those magical threads, and performed a finger technique to restore them.
The restored scroll had only minor mismatches between the sword names and the drawn diagrams, with no major flaws.
Yet, after putting away the scroll, Zhang Ze didn’t immediately leave, but stood in place for a long time.
After a long while, Zhang Ze frowned and muttered to himself.
"That shouldn’t be, with all that commotion, Aliri and the rest should be able to hear it... where on earth are they?"
——Li solemnly declares that the ’Egg-squeezing Swordsmanship’ has nothing to do with me, Zhang Ze bears full responsibility——
Aliri was also pondering the same question, which was where Zhang Ze and Fuji went.
It lay tucked on the ground, pretending to be a rock, listening to the rumbling footfalls nearby, not daring to move.
Above its head, a Xiao Maoniang was wandering, inspecting the surrounding anomalies.
The big bell was swinging back and forth, seeming quite harrowing.
Aliri, having turned into a rock, kept praying for the monster to scram quickly, intending to find Zhang Ze once the monster left.
The condition of unlimited resurrection applied to Aliri too, which wasn’t much good news to it.
After all, in a situation where one’s strength is weaker than the opponent’s, and unless one’s head isn’t working properly, the weaker side would only become the toy of the stronger one, getting caught and humiliated endlessly.
Having comprehended this layer, Aliri immediately ceased resisting, using its lifetime learned skills and inherent protective coloration to hide.
Fortunately, Aliri’s technique was indeed top-notch, while that Xiao Maoniang relied on instincts alone. After patrolling its territory and finding nothing, it hissed at the air for a while, then returned to Baiyujing.
Confirming that Xiao Maoniang had left, Aliri began to wriggle in the opposite direction, preparing to distance itself from Baiyujing, munching a mouthful of soil while moving.
"Eh? Sweet?"
Aliri, who ate everything, smacked its lips, feeling this was the best soil it had ever eaten, truly exquisite among delicacies.
Aliri swallowed a mouthful of saliva, having not eaten for half a two-hour, almost starving. It glanced at Baiyujing with its backside, ensuring Xiao Maoniang hadn’t come back out before sneaking a small bite again.
"Anyway, the soil here can regenerate, a few more bites shouldn’t hurt."
"Crunch crunch, mm, small meals more often, mmm, truly delicious."
Crawling away while eating, Aliri didn’t notice that a small trench appeared behind it.
Bored out by its bites.
Yet this trench didn’t regenerate.
...
The same place, the same cat.
Lu Yuzhou felt slightly dizzy from the hissing.
Her massive Starlight Body lay across the wasteland outside Baiyujing City.
The array spread beneath her, an illusory city rising from the ground, trapping the deranged Xiao Maoniang within.
This spell wasn’t simple, developed exclusively by Lu Tianming, an elder of the Celestial Sect, and one that she rarely found usable.
However, due to her somewhat abnormal nature, the spell had quite a few names.
The spell’s name passing down the generations is [Illusory City] or [Third Layer Gate], nicknamed back in the day as [Celestial Sect Fortress].
Recorded personally by Lu Tianming as [Dog Cage], and she must chant [Within Celestial Sect, all immortals forbidden entry] at the spell’s inception.
