Chapter 779: Who Cares About the Ling Yun Tower? One Punch Will Take Care of It!
Translator: Sparrow Translations Editor: Sparrow Translations
Since a long time ago, in Lin Mubai’s heart, Ping Yang had always been a child who could never grow up. She was headstrong and did as she pleased. She could be said to be a troublemaker.
Of course, because of how much he doted on her, these traits also made her cute. Hence, Lin Mubai had never scolded Ping Yang before.
Right now…
This child had truly grown up. While she was still headstrong, she had grown into an adult who could not ‘protect’ him.
Lin Mubai was slightly sad.
No father wished to see this scene, even if he may be the emperor of the Great Xia Dynasty. After all, he was still Ping Yang’s father.
“Powerful indeed,” Fang Zhengzhi thought.
However, other than being content, he was also slightly suspicious. After all, Ping Yang’s progress was beyond his expectations.
Was it really just because of one demonic pill?
Fang Zhengzhi did not think so because he knew that it was but a catalyst. It was not easy to fully ingest a demonic pill and then convert its energy into Origin Energy.
Had he guessed correctly, Ping Yang did not give up on her training but instead, worked even harder. She had to have received outside help or met with some sort of miracle.
Of course, none of this was important.
Most importantly, Ping Yang was as powerful as a new Sage. While it seemed slightly unstable, it was still shocking.
“Boom!” After two of the disciples were swept aside by the Fiery Qilin Spear, the other three disciples found their fight a lot more difficult. Almost instantly, another disciple was hit by the Fiery Qilin Spear and his body flew backward, breaking the wooden fence in front of the Ling Yun Tower.
This excited Ping Yang even more. Her face was flushed and fire rose from her clear eyes. Her Fiery Qilin Spear stabbed out non-stop.
“Hahaha…” She laughed without any care in the world. It was clear that Ping Yang had bottled her up emotions for the past half a year and she was only releasing them now.
“How dare you!” At this moment, another awe-inspiring and angry voice rang out from the Ling Yun Tower. Then, a woman in a white dress which had the words ‘Ling Yun’ embroidered on it walked out. Behind her, there were eight females in green dresses.
“Eh? Does the Ling Yun Tower only have female disciples?” When Fang Zhengzhi saw the eight other Ling Yun Tower disciples in dresses, he made this guess silently.
For them, the scene that confronted them was unbelievable. After all, this rarely happened in the Ling Yun Tower.
As one of the five sects of the Holy Region, the Ling Yun Tower’s position was esteemed and many people showed them a healthy amount of respect. Right now, intruders were charging their way inside.
The white-dressed woman swept them with her gaze and naturally, she saw Ping Yang and Lin Mubai. This made her frown.
She was not shocked to see Lin Mubai.
She was shocked to see a slave, which had been punished to remain chained next to the cold pond, fighting with Ling Yun Tower disciples. Furthermore, she could defeat five of them at once.
“Seize her!” The woman in the white dress’ gaze turned cold. She did not even look at Lin Mubai as she instructed the eight women in green dresses.
“Yes!” The eight of them did not hesitate as they sprang into action. Eight figures instantly surrounded Ping Yang.
The moment they joined the fight, green light surged from their bodies. Instantly, the green light was turned into a patch of jade bamboos.
Compared to the Jade Bamboo Domain earlier on, the new Jade Bamboo Domain was undoubtedly transformed when the eight other disciples joined it.
“Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!” Leaves flew everywhere.
Sword-like leaves rained down as bamboo stalks twisted and turned. This caused the rain of swords formed from bamboo leaves to start turning as they turned into a tornado of swords.
“Boom!” Ping Yang’s body shook slightly.
A whole bunch of leafy swords hit her back. Even with her techniques, she was unable to dodge them like before. Fires burned from her back.
“Ping Yang!” When Lin Mubai saw the rain of leafy swords, his face transformed. He did not hesitate as he joined the fray.
A golden light started to shine and turned into a flying dragon. Its two red eyes looked down on everyone and an ancient aura started to spread within the Jade Bamboo Domain.
“Green Dragon Eye?!” The woman in the white dress narrowed her eyes as she looked at the dragon above Lin Mubai’s head. She was shocked.
Fang Zhengzhi was surprised too. However, he was not surprised by Lin Mubai’s Green Dragon Eye or the fact that Ping Yang was hit by the rain of leafy swords. Instead, the new Jade Bamboo Domain caught his attention.
“If five people can form a Jade Bamboo Domain, and Ping Yang defeated three of them, and another eight joined her, does this mean that ten people can make one too?” Fang Zhengzhi was shocked.
It would be a coincidence for five people in the Ling Yun Tower to master the same Dao. When ten people mastered the same Dao…
This was ridiculous.
No!
13 people mastered the same Dao!
Fang Zhengzhi wanted to say that this was a miraculous occurrence. Then, he thought for a while and realized that this miracle seemed slightly impossible.
This was because this could not have happened. Normally, something like this could never take place. However, the scene before him proved him wrong.
Could it be a formation?
Impossible!
This was because a formation required transformation and change among those in it. Furthermore, a formation would require many different Daos to come together, instead of a single Dao making it stronger and stronger.
It was evident that the new Jade Bamboo Domain formed by the ten of them was different from a formation. Its strength could be increased infinitely.
This seemed slightly impossible.
Furthermore, more importantly, after everyone joined, would they all become a part of the Jade Bamboo Domain? Could they control it?
What was this?
“Senior Lu, he’s the Emperor of Great Xia!” Right when Fang Zhengzhi was making heads and tails of it, a fallen disciple of the Ling Yun Tower said.
“Great Xia Emperor!? It’s really him!” When the woman in white heard that, she nodded her head as this confirmed her suspicion.
“The slave is Ping Yang! And… Fang Zhengzhi, Fang Zhengzhi is here!” The Ling Yun Tower disciple said anxiously.
“She’s Ping Yang? Wait a moment, Fang Zhengzhi? Isn’t he dead?!” The woman in white was stunned. Then, she finally noticed Fang Zhengzhi, who stood in the distance in long blue robes. Instantly, her expression turned ugly.
After all, she heard that Fang Zhengzhi had been subdued in the Yin Yang Hall. Then, he had been taken to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain to be turned into pills. It was impossible for him to still be alive.
More importantly…
She had already confirmed Lin Mubai and Ping Yang’s identities. Hence, this youth was very likely Fang Zhengzhi.
What could she do?
She clenched her fist. Then, she noticed Fang Zhengzhi staring intently at the Jade Bamboo Domain without even looking at her.
“So that’s the case!” The woman in white’s gaze turned cold and she started to move. She flipped her palm and a green dagger appeared in her hands.
Then, she moved.
She waved her dagger, which turned into a green ray of light, and shot it toward Fang Zhengzhi. At the same time, she ran deftly toward the ten disciples who were fighting with Ping Yang.
Ambushing Fang Zhengzhi?
No!
She was not so confident in herself. After all, Fang Zhengzhi once killed five Sages in one day in the Heaven Dao Pavilion. Alone, he went to the Yin Yang Hall and almost destroyed it completely. No matter how ignorant she was, she knew she had almost no chance of taking him down alone.
However, if she tried to subdue Ping Yang while ambushing Fang Zhengzhi, the results may be slightly different.
With Ping Yang in her hands, Fang Zhengzhi would not dare to do anything!
The woman in white moved very quickly and almost instantly, she was behind Ping Yang. Jade green light shone from her body.
As a Sage, her joining the fray naturally made the Jade Bamboo Domain change once more. Compared to the eight Rebirth State disciples, it was even more powerful. The moment she was almost in front of Ping Yang, she took out a huge net formed from jade bamboos.
The green dagger was almost in front of Fang Zhengzhi. Zipping through the air, it tore a black line in the air and went for Fang Zhengzhi’s throat.
He started to smile.
An ancient proverb once said, “Once bitten, twice shy.” While Fang Zhengzhi had never been bitten and nor was he shy, it was impossible for him to not have any defense against this woman in white.
Particularly when Ping Yang was involved.
“Kaboom!”
With Fang Zhengzhi in the center, the entire garden in front of the Ling Yun Tower started to sink. The stone path and the pants sank by three inches.
At the same time, eight balls of fire descended from the sky, igniting the Jade Bamboo Domain.
Hell Dao!
This change was rapid and the terrifying attractive force made it impossible for them to react. Their legs stumbled as they fell onto the ground.
The eight black balls of fire dissolved the Jade Bamboo Forest around them, setting them alight.
“Ahh!” The ten women in green shrieked. They all looked slightly shocked as their swords trembled.
However, this did not affect the woman in white.
Or rather, even if it did, it could not subdue her completely. When the Hell Dao appeared, she bit her lips and took another step forward as she tried to throw her net at Ping Yang.
“Ping Yang, dodge!” Lin Mubai knew what she wanted to do and he immediately lunged toward her. At the same time, a giant dragon with two fiery red balls of light hit the back of the white-dressed woman as he tried to stop her.
“Rise!” The white-dressed woman did not even look back. However, she could feel his aura behind her. Her palms moved once more and a barrier, formed from dozens of jade-like bamboos, rose behind her.
Evidently, she was going all-out!
With all her might, she had to take Ping Yang as a hostage.
Closer and closer!
As she noticed the net enveloping more than half of Ping Yang, the woman bit her lips a lot more gently than before. Then, a cold smile crossed her face.
Then, at this moment, a voice rang out next to her ears.
“Are you joking?” This voice was calm and when this voice rang out, a terrifying pressure came crashing down on her head.
“Boom!” A huge explosion.
The woman in white was sent flying out and she fell like a shooting star as her head hit the half-open door of the Ling Yun Tower.
“Boom!” The door shook.
The green net, which was almost half way down Ping Yang’s head, and the entire Jade Bamboo Domain was torn apart. They turned into dots of green light which then disappeared in the air.
Silence!
Instant silence!
Ping Yang looked at Fang Zhengzhi, who stood behind her in his blue robes, as she opened her mouth in shock to form an ‘O’.
Lin Mubai too remained where he was. His expression was frozen as he looked at Fang Zhengzhi. It was as if he had seen someone entirely different.
“This rascal… has turned into a demon!?” Lin Mubai swallowed and his face turned slightly red.
One punch?!
That was just one punch!
He was able to destroy the Jade Bamboo Domain, cast by one Sage and dozens of other Ling Yun Tower disciples, apart?!
Lin Mubai looked at the woman in white, who was unconscious, and then looked at Fang Zhengzhi. This was the first time he had been so utterly shocked by someone who was his subject.
“Don’t worry, Your Majesty, I’ll protect Ping Yang!” Fang Zhengzhi looked at Lin Mubai and flashed him a radiant smile.
