Chapter 209. Yu Chen… (3)Translator: Storm in a Teacup
The demon indeed had their unique way to contact each other. Luo Jianqing speeded up like an arrow, on the brink of leaving the array. The realm of Yun Xiang and Fo Zi was lower than him, so Luo Jianqing had to tug on them on each arm, rushing out of the array.
The boundary of the array and the human cultivators blocked outside had come into view.
Luo Jianqing did not let down guard, nevertheless. Just as they were several hundred meters away from the boundary, a huge Sphinx demon got in their way right in front of them.
The Sphinx demon was one hundred meters high. When it lowered its head, they could saw its huge eyes as large as a house. As it roared, it opened its big mouth and showed its fangs as sharp as knives. Luo Jianqing stared at the demon, feeling cold in his heart. He gently released the hands of Fo Zi and Yun Xiang.
The Sphinx demon laughed out, “See? I get three humans here.”
Outside the array, Sir Wen Longzi shouted furiously, “Shi Rong, don’t you dare touch them!”
The Sphinx demon turned to the angry Wen Longzi outside the array and laughed loudly, “Wen Longzi, you are so nervous, but why? Oh, you know them, don’t you? Let me see, a late-stage Nascent Soul girl, fifty years ago, an early-stage Out-of-Body boy, over seventy years ago, and…” It suddenly stopped, opening its eyes wide and said with surprise, “A completed middle-stage Out-of-Body boy, just a little bit above fifty years old! You are the talent of talent in human!”
Luo Jianqing had already taken out his Floating Frost Sword. Fo Zi had also taken out his beads and Yun Xiang took out a string of black bells.
However, all of their instruments were nothing but toys for the Sphinx demon.
He was the Ocean Master of the Ninth Ocean Shi Rong, the Earth-Level Iron Cutting Sphinx Demon, as powerful as a completed late-stage Da Sheng Period Cultivator!” He glanced through the three of them. When his eyes settled upon Yun Xiang, he said, “Oh my! Such a young Fiend talent, and a female. You are the disciple of Mo Qian Qiu?”
When he turned to Fo Zi, he said, “You monk must come from the Gui Yuan Sect.”
Finally, he fixed his eyes on Luo Jianqing, “I…have never seen such a brilliant talent. Even Jin Li, that dragon, can’t progress so quickly as you. I’ve heard from Exalt Jin Ji that there is a talent in human cultivators. Are you the disciple of Xuan Lingzi?”
Luo Jianqing stepped forward, “So what!”
Shi Rong didn’t expect that Xuan Ling would admit it without any hesitation. He was baffled at first, and then he laughed out, “Yes, yes you are!”
Luo Jianqing said, “Why don’t you transform into human?”
Shi Rong sneered, “Why do I have to take a human shape? The law of nature is partial to you humans, so any demon can transform into human when they reach the ultimate realm, but I just don’t like it…”
Hearing that, Luo Jianqing’s handsome face was packed with vigilance. His forehead glistened with tiny sweats and his lips got paler. He looked like a frightened young man but pretended to be calm, so Shi Rong didn’t notice it. Luo Jianqing put his right hand behind himself, with his thumb tapping the index finger in constant rhythm.
Outside the Towering Ocean Breaking, Sir Wen Longzi as well as other cultivators had begun to attack the array out of anxiety. However, in the array, Luo Jianqing communicated with Exalt Shi Rong methodically. Shi Rong appeared gentle and refined, but he spoke in tones of disdain towards human. Each time Luo Jianqing was humiliated by his words and got flushed, Shi Rong would laugh out.
Luo Jianqing lashed out, tapping his finger angrily as he was humiliated.
Fo Zi and Yun Xiang gazed at his finger with a serious face. They clenched their instruments tight, waiting for a time to have a hard fight.
Luo Jianqing was so mad. He said with a shaking voice, “Don’t you humiliate my master!” His words were full of fury, but obviously lacking confidence.
Shi Rong was swaying his long tail, “It’s funny, an idiot lad is clamoring in front. Even your master, Xuan Lingzi, is no more than a trash,”
Luo Jianqing’s eyes got blood-shot. He raised his sword and rushed towards the Sphinx Demon, totally losing his marbles. Indigo sword light began to gather on the his sword, and a five-petal indigo lotus appeared in the air, giving out strong pressure.
However, all of these just a sideshow for the Sphinx demon. He raised his claw casually and was about to trample Luo Jianqing. Suddenly, Yun Xiang and Fo Zi who had been standing aside took actions!
They attacked the Iron Cutting Sphinx Demon from the left and right.
Yun Xiang tinkled the bells and Fiend power abruptly sprang up. As the Fiend power spread from the bell, it transformed into a brutal beast. The beast rushed towards the Sphinx demon and aimed at its left leg. Yun Xiang smacked her chest and spitted a mouthful of refined blood on that beast. Her blood quickly creeped on its body, forming exotic patterns.
Meanwhile, Fo Zi flicked his finger and a bead hit the right leg of the demon. He was chanting the Mahaparinirvana Sutra, and those Buddhist lines made the bead shine in gold brilliancy. A huge golden Buddha statue in the Face of Seven Rounded Characteristics appeared in the air with a solemn image and awe-inspiring Buddha light. The large hand of the statue fell slowly towards the Sphinx demon, just like a punishment of justice.
It had been a shocking movement for the Sphinx demon, not giving him anytime to respond. Luo Jianqing bent his body and stabbed towards the eyes of the demon, but it was a feint. He slipped away under the body of the demon and fled to the boundary of the array.
Boom! Boom!
The beast formed by the Fiend power did not cause any harm to the demon, and the hand of the Buddha statue only broke several hairs of him. But these had exhausted the spiritual power of Fo Zi and Yun Xiang. The latter was wiping the blood on her lips, gazing at the Sphinx demon vigilantly.
On the other hand, Luo Jianqing had got out of the array!
As he spoke to the demon, Luo Jianqing had been approaching to the boundary slowly. When he did the feint, he got only thirty meters to go. Luo Jianqing had stood at the feet of the Sphinx demon and looked up to speak to him, while the demon hadn’t noticed anything wrong. Instead, he had been obsessed with the humiliated face of Luo Jianqing.
In terms of power, the three of them were not comparable to Shi Rong. As long as hie gave out the pressure of a late-stage Da Sheng Period cultivator, they would be defeat without any try.
However, Shi Rong treated them lightly.
Shi Rong was totally shocked by their swift movement, without anytime to stop Luo Jianqing. But he still stood in the way of Fo Zi and Yun Xiang.
The Sphinx demon raised his head and roared, “How dare you to cheat me!”
Fo Zi stroked Yun Xiang, who was still spitting blood. He pressed her back and transferred his spiritual power to her.
Outside the array, Luo Jianqing had been held by Sir Wen Longzi. He quickly turned around to see the situation in the array. The demon exalt was staring at him furiously, but after a while, he forged a vicious smile and turned back to Fo Zi and Yun Xiang.
At the right moment, the sun slowly rose in the east, shedding its brilliancy towards the earth.
