Chapter 291: Three Attacks Under Heaven
Wuyang County.
Ting Fengliang was nearly troubled to death by his daughter.
"Dad, let''s go to the ceremonial site. I heard that His Imperial Majesty will confront Chang''an Mansion, go put in a word for them." Ting Nanyuan incessantly pestered her father to go to the ceremony to observe the result.
"Our Ting Family has guarded Wuyang County for generations. Without His Imperial Majesty''s decree, we are not permitted to enter Chang''an." Ting Fengliang rubbed his temples: "And Huan Wen wants to face Chang''an Mansion. It will be difficult to avert catastrophe for Chang''an Mansion, what would I go say."
"As things stand, that Highness White Clothed Tanhua has already been killed by Huan Wen. Chang''an Mansion is already helpless to protect itself. We will not wade into these muddy waters."
Ting Fengliang very patiently persuaded his daughter to not be so na?ve. What they could could actually handle was the Divine Warrior Examination in four years instead of worrying about meaninglessly consoling Chang''an Mansion. Ting Fengliang very much admired Human Sovereign Chen Zhangtian''s conduct. The sessive generations had also been wholehearted characters to the dynasty, and they could be described as devoted. But in Star World, devotion was far less importantpared to power.
This time, Chang''an Mansion''s power was far too overwhelming, striking fear and apprehension into Emperor Tang. This was only logical. The previous Divine Warrior Examination''s <i>zhuangyuan</i> was the Chen Family''s Flying Luan Princess. This time, as before, the winner was the Chen Family, producing an unprecedented achievement. It was said that White Clothed Tanhua was extremely famous, that his prestige surpassed that of his father''s and the imperial family''s If this continued, this Great Chong Dynasty would change into the Great Chen Dynasty.
"But Chen Mo is my best friend, I don''t believe he would die." Ting Nanyuan obstinately said. "The emperor is so callous, let''s not help him."
"Can it be you that you have learned nothing from your experience in the world alongside that Star General?" Ting Fengliang scolded her: "You are not allowed to say these kinds of words from now on."
Ting Nanyuan''s face was aplete red from fury. She turned around and stormed out of the study.
Ting Fengliang was honestly helpless against this daughter.
"Huan Wen, ai…What a pity. If it was Princess Chang, perhaps such a brazenly muddleheaded debacle would never have urred." Ting Fengliang wrung his wrists and sighed.
A momentter, a servant ran into the room in a panic: "Prince, this is bad, the Little Princess has run off to the volcano''s crater."
Did she go to Princess Chang toin again? When she was little, after she once inadvertently stumbled into the volcano, Ting Nanyuan would asionally go there. Ting Fengliang did not find this strange.
"But the Little Princess did not bring the ‘Cold Ice Belt,'' and the volcano''s has be vtile, as if…" The subordinate hesitated.
"As if what?"
"As if the volcano is about to erupt."
Ting Fengliang''s expression changed. In an instant, he controlled a rainbow light and flew towards the volcano. He very quickly spotted his running daughter. At this moment, there was a loud rumble. The volcano erupted, and an enormous pir of fire spewed from the mouth like a fire dragon. Countless bits of rock descended like meteors.
One hurtled towards the top of Ting Nanyuan''s head. Ting Fengliang promptly used the Dark Yang Finger, destroying the rock.
"Dad." Ting Nanyuan, who escape disaster, was scared pale.
Ting Fengliang was about to scold her when, all of a sudden, an immense chill blew over, as if they had fallen into the depths of winter. The temperature plunged, and the falling debris became balls of ice. The flowing fire dragon, too, became cold air.
The surrounding people were shocked.
A tremendous and domineering beast flew out from the volcano, spreading its four pairs of wings andnding on the ground.
"What is this?" Ting Fengliang was shocked, having not seen the "Vast Profundity" before. He immediately urged on his sword chant and was about to arrange a sword array when, at this moment, a young girl peeked over the tyrannical beast.
The girl sat in a wheelchair. Her skin was crystalline, her hair was gray, and her eyes were bright as ice.
Ting Fengliang was astonished. "Your Highness Princess Chang!"
"Elder Sister Bing." Ting Nanyuan was wild with joy. "You cane out?"
"Your Highness Princess Chang, you absolutely cannot exit the volcano. Otherwise, the Cold Qi will permeate your meridians, and you will undoubtedly die." Ting Fengliang controlled his Flying Swords to hover in front of Diaobing and earnestly implored her.
"Diaobing has troubled the Ting Family for their concern for many years, but Diaobing''s Cold Disease has already been cured." The young girl faintly smiled.
"What?" Ting Fengliang was in incredulous. That was but a Cold Qi sickness that was capable of freezing Star Energy. How could the Tail Fire Star Field have anyone able to cure it.
"This means that Chen Mo helped Elder Sister to truly cure the Cold Qi." Ting Nanyuan was very excited.
Diaobing nodded. She put on a warm smile: "This time, I will go thank him."
"Chen Mo, that Chang''an Mansion''s Chen Mo…" Ting Fengliang was already unable to describe his mood at the moment.
"Right, Elder Sister Bing, we must quickly go to the ceremony. Huan Wen is about to eradicate Chang''an Mansion, and she even said that she killed Chen Mo. I do not believe her." Ting Nanyuan urgently said.
The girl waved her hand, and an icy mist condensed to form the figure of a soldier that lifted Ting Nanyuan onto the Vast Profundity''s wide back.
"Your Highness Princess Chang, you absolutely cannot go. Her Highness Huan Wen will definitely kill you." Ting Fengliang was torn with anxiety. The reason Diaobing was able to preserve her life, other than to provide her Star Energy as help to Huan Wen, was that the cold poison in her body made her pose no threat to Huan Wen. If Huan Wen was made aware that her Elder Sister was already in good health, she absolutely would show no mercy in personally killing Diaobing.
Given Diaobing''s current level as a two word Star Name, she was fundamentally no match for the Earthly Attacking Star.
"My dear Ting, I have troubled the Ting Family for your care for so many years. This time, even if through a mountain of des or a sea of fire, Diaobing must also go stop that unworthy little sister." Diaobing calmly smiled.
This smile stole their souls, making everyone suddenly feel free of worry.
By the time Ting Fengliang came to his senses, Diaobing had already urged the Vast Profundity to fly to the horizon.
"Elder Sister Bing, what Demon Beast is this, I''ve never seen it before. How do you have this? Is it your Star Beast?"
"Your friend, Chen Mo, gave it to me. It is named Vast Profundity."
"Ah, Chen Mo surprisingly had such a Demon Beast. Just what kind of person is he, he really makes me angry to death."
Hearing that gradually fadingughter, Ting Fengliang''s expression was indefinitely gloomy. He grit his teeth. "Supervisor Feng, immediately summon the Ting Mansion''s strongest cultivators. We leave for Chang''an right now."
"Prince, are you thinking of…?" The supervisor was astonished, thinking he was about to ambush and kill Diaobing.
"We are going to give Princess Chang protective escort!" Ting Fengliang made his decision.
"As youmand."
…
Circle Hill''s battle was still advancing like wildfire. The figures of the man and woman were locked in an intense struggle. White clothes and white armor were like two pieces of ice and snow intertwining with each other, producing an enormous killing intent that was more chilling than a December blizzard.
Many cultivators and soldiers dragged into the battle between the two were instantly shredded to pieces by their killing intent. In Huan Wen''s Yellow Court Realm, any living person within ten meters of her became a corpse, other than the man in front of her.
Chen Mo''s martial arts were increasingly exquisite, endlessly shing with Huan Wen''s Four Star spear, his Star Energy rapidly depleting. If it was not for his possessing the body of the ck Turtle, Chen Mo had no doubts at all that he would have already died several hundred times to Huan Wen''s spear.
Although Chen Mo''s Star Energy reserves were sufficiently vast, he was still at a disadvantagepared to Huan Wen, whose Concentrated Fiend Star Energy was endless.
Yellow Rank: Chest Opener!
Huan Wen used her Yellow Rank again, stabbing Chen Mo sessfully. At the same time, Chen Mo still used the Qiankun One Qi and Northern Dipper''s Trampling to injure her.
The two of them traded several hundred blows in an instant.
Huan Wen''s patience was already at the limit. She suddenly twirled the Cold Night Spear, and the spear''s edge suddenly unleashed five rays of ice-cold killing intent.
The killing intents were formed like shackles, connected link by link. In practically an instant, even faster than the blink of an eye, the chain-light had already pierced through Chen Mo from the front.
This was her Dark Rank: Chained Life.
This Dark Rank''s killing intent seemed to drill into Chen Mo''s bones, ruthlessly locking his body''s joints. An enormous pain made Chen Mo''s face contort.
The lethality of this Dark Rank was far from shocking, but it had a particr characteristic of locking down the target''s joints. For a short time, they would lose any opportunity to move and could only let themselves be stepped on. Back in the Northern Barbariannds, Huan Wen had relied on this Dark Rank to thoroughly chain down Chen Mo''s resistance. In the end, it was Nianyou who saved him using the power of her Star Name.
Seeing Chen Mo get caught so easily, Huan Wen was very surprised. She had originally thought that this man suffered enoughst time and would be even more careful.
"History repeats, die." Huan Wen''s second spear-light followed immediately.
Chen Mo''s agonized expression suddenly smirked. Qi submerged into his <i>dantian</i>, and with a roar, the specter of a ck Turtle appeared behind him. The restraints of Chained Life werepletely broken, and Chen Mo freed his arms and legs. The Northern Dipper Saber in his hand instantly swung.
Huan Wen had her Phoenix Dark Rank as a terrifying trump card. If he let her use it, he would be in even more peril, so the best solution was to kill her before she could use it. Huan Wen had the arrogance of a Star General, so she would never use her strongest move unless as ast result. This was the one chance that Chen Mo had been waiting for.
Seeing Huan Wen draw near, all of Chen Mo''s Star Energy was at the limit. His expression also sank down to the extreme, just like a deep, tranquil pool, unfathomable. His wrist turned, and he calmly drew his saber with perfection.
The saber-light was even faster than Huan Wen''s Dark Rank.
The space in front of Huan Wen''s eyes was suddenly and silently split apart. By the time Huan Wen felt the pain, the saber-light had already sliced open her white armor and cut deep into her body.
The remaining saber-qi broke out of her body, shattering her armor, knocking the girl''s body heavily away.
The whole ce fell into a deathly silence. They stared in disbelief at the flying Huan Wen. Chen Mo''s sh made every cultivator here feel a chill in their bones.
Dark Rank – Saber Draw Water Cutter!
Chen Mo leapt, chasing after Huan Wen to cut her again. This time, he wouldpletely cut her down.
As she was sent flying, an illusion seemed to appear before Huan Wen. The world seemed to shatter like ss, and light rays blinded her eyes. The girl''s pupils suddenly erupted with an ice-cold me.
Bang!!
Before she fell onto the ground, the spear was stuck straight into the earth, stopping Huan Wen from falling down. The girl then gripped her spearshaft andnded, stopping herself from showing a sorry figure just in time.
The Star Crest on the woman''s head flickered. The Earthly Fiend Star Energy of the earth sublimated into her entire body. Chen Mo''s Dark Rank just now was enough to y a Human Sovereign, but Huan Wen had tenaciously blocked it. Bright red blood stained her white clothes. The Earthly Attacking Star once again brandished her spear.
She was thoroughly angry.
A murderous grin blossomed on her face from the depths of her soul. The Earthly Attacking Star spun her body and raised her spear. A phoenix specter emerged from her Cold Night Spear, and the light flowing over her spear spread in all directions like a giant.
Chen Mo''s expression changed dramatically.
<em>Shit.</em>
<em>This is.</em>
