Chapter 299: Fighting A Mid Enlightened Master

Chapter 298: Fighting A Mid Enlightened Master

The Crystal Palace Enlightened Master faced the trio, defending their attacks while retreating towards the entrance. As he approached the corridor, his evil laughter grew louder and he took a good look at the trio.

Then, just as he crossed into the corridor that led to the entrance, he turned around and fled. Yet, just as he pivoted, his laughter was suddenly cut short, and he looked at the corridor in disbelief.

The sealing formations along the corridor had been reactivated—the light ray he sent to call for help had been cut off!

He quickly tried to break the sealing formation in front of him, his face changing drastically when his attempts failed. Meanwhile, the trio didn’t give him time to react and started another round of attacks.

"Kill him now, no holding back!"

Enlightened Master Liang Xuan-Feng unleashed another wind wheel, Zhu Xuan-Meng shot out a string from her pipa, while Lu Ping cast the [Great River Eastward Sword Art] and blocked off the Crystal Palace Enlightened Master’s range to dodge, forcing him to face the attacks head-on.

Before the Crystal Palace Enlightened Master’s desperate eyes, Enlightened Master Liang Xuan-Feng’s wind wheel cut right through his protective light dome and rendered him defenseless, his other mystic treasure was tangled up with Lu Ping’s Golden Scale Sword and couldn’t return to help. In the end, he was utterly powerless against Zhu Xuan-Meng’s pipa string as she beheaded him.

Suddenly, a five-striped Golden Core flew out from the headless corpse, but before Enlightened Master Liang could capture it, the Golden Core rammed heavily against the seal with all its might. The light seal shattered apart like a mirror, and the Golden Core disintegrated into dust.

As the Golden Core fell apart, a massive wave of true energy was released in all directions like a windstorm. Looking unconcerned, Enlightened Master Liang unleashed his aura and the true energy windstorm gradually weakened. By the time it reached them, the wave was akin to a soft breeze.

The three exchanged a look, then Enlightened Master Liang turned around to break the seal on the shelf, retrieving the Heavenly Wind Leaf. Meanwhile, Zhu Xuan-Meng went on to explore the pavilion on her own, hoping to find other valuables.

But first, Lu Ping decided to verify that the remaining sealing formations had blocked off the light ray from escaping the pavilion. He walked down the corridor, and saw the next sealing formation had been shattered by the true energy windstorm.

Immediately, his heart sank as he rushed to the next sealing formation, praying that it was still intact and managed to stop the light ray. As he took the turn in the corridor, he saw the next sealing formation was still whole and containing the golden light ray from leaving, and he heaved a breath of relief.

He went up, grabbed the light ray like it was a physical object, and crushed it in his palm.

Just as he destroyed the light ray, the sealing formation’s light barrier suddenly rippled, and the pavilion shook violently. His face changed, and he quickly made a few hand signs at the sealing formation. Immediately, the situation outside of the pavilion was shown on the light barrier.

He heard footsteps from behind him, turned around and saw Liang Xuan-Feng and Zhu Xuan-Meng arriving. He quickly explained the situation to them. "The other cultivators have made it into the dojo, and a group is trying to breach this pavilion. Junior Uncle, have you secured the Heavenly Wind Leaf?"

Enlightened Master Liang was relieved to hear it was not the Crystal Palace cultivators. Then, he answered happily, "Yes, I have. They won’t expect to see us inside the pavilion, so we’ll use the element of surprise to sprint away. In case we accidentally get separated, we will meet at the inn on Silver Sword Island three days from now. Be careful, your safety is what matters most."

Clearly, Enlightened Master Liang was cautioning Lu Ping. After all, even though Lu Ping was impressively stronger than his peers, he was still just a First Layer Core Forging Realm Enlightened Master, and the weakest in their group.

At this time, the pavilion shook again as the cultivators outside launched another round of attacks. The light barrier rippled violently, then suddenly shattered apart. More than ten Enlightened Masters and a few dozen Blood Condensation Realm cultivators rushed into the pavilion.

Zhu Xuan-Meng threw a mystic treasure to Lu Ping; it was the protective light dome token from the Crystal Palace Enlightened Master.

She said, "This is the dead guy’s defensive mystic treasure. His flying axe is destroyed and you have no defensive mystic instrument, so make do with this mystic treasure first."

Lu Ping thanked her, and didn’t ask about whatever treasures she found. Then, he used the remaining array formations in the pavilion to hide their auras and they waited quietly. When the cultivators had spread out through the pavilion, they swiftly moved and rushed towards the pavilion entrance together.

"Wait a minute, those three aren’t with us, they were already here from the start!"

Just as the trio were about to escape the pavilion, the incoming cultivators abruptly realized that something was wrong and they shouted in warning.

"Damn it! No wonder there’s nothing valuable here, those three took everything!"

"Kill them!"

Amid the agitated crowd, several Enlightened Masters shouted and attacked the trio.

Enlightened Master Liang Xuan-Feng knocked away a Mid Enlightened Master who was blocking the doorway. As the trio exited the pavilion, he shouted to the other two, "Leave on your own, blend in with the cultivators."

Then, he stepped back to block the entrance, blasting seven wind spells in one go at the pursuing cultivators. But before they could attack back, he quickly turned into a flurry of wind and disappeared in an instant.

While all the attention was on Enlightened Master Liang Xuan-Feng, Zhu Xuan-Meng quickly took the chance to leave. She disappeared without warning, then reappeared a hundred feet away, blending herself within the crowd.

Lu Ping could tell that Zhu Xuan-Meng had used a mini divine ability. Unfortunately, he didn’t have such means to help him disappear from the crowd’s attention, so the only option left was to distract them. Hence, Lu Ping cast the [Sea Crossing Concealment Art]. With every step he took, an illusion appeared and moved in another direction.

As his prowess had now greatly improved, the illusions were almost identical to his real form. Even though the Enlightened Masters would eventually identify him from the illusions, it would still buy him enough time to leave his pursuers behind.

By the time he reached another area, there was only one Mid Enlightened Master who managed to track him down. The Mid Enlightened Master was happy to see that he was the only one to successfully follow Lu Ping, and he said, "Brat, there’s nowhere to run anymore, so hand over your wealth!"

However, Lu Ping ignored him and continued moving, his hands forming signs continuously. The Mid Enlightened Master was cautious at first, but after seeing Lu Ping’s hand signs do nothing, he decided that Lu Ping was just trying to scare him off. He quickly lost patience and spat out a flying needle at Lu Ping’s back.

It was at this time, Lu Ping suddenly turned around and cast the final hand sign with his true energy.

Weng—

In the eyes of the horrified Mid Enlightened Master, he suddenly found himself trapped inside a sealing formation, one that was supposedly destroyed by the cultivators when they entered the dojo.

Lu Ping continued to raise sealing formations between them to stop the incoming flying needle, but the light barriers barely slowed down the needle’s momentum.

A flying needle mystic treasure!

Lu Ping cursed his own bad luck for actually encountering a special mystic treasure.

He slashed at it with the Golden Scale Sword, but the flying needle agilely avoided the flying sword and continued towards Lu Ping. Although the Mid Enlightened Master was trapped in the sealing formation, the flying needle was still in his control!

Lu Ping gave a cold snort, then threw a black-gold pellet towards the flying needle.

After the pellet flew out, Lu Ping made a hand sign and the pellet exploded into a Poison Jiao that lunged at the flying needle. This was a Battle Pellet made with Black Prison Poison Fire and Million Poisons Pulp!

Lu Ping had made it some time ago, concocting it on a sudden whim. He didn’t think that it would come in handy so quickly.

As the flying needle pierced the Poison Jiao, the Mid Enlightened Master’s true energy and divine revelation on the needle was corroded, and he let out a painful cry. The Poison Jiao immediately turned its head around and spat a mouthful of poison at the needle again!

The Poison Jiao grew weaker while the Enlightened Master let out another painful cry. Lu Ping took this chance and quickly slashed the flying needle with the Golden Scale Sword. The flying needle splintered into pieces, and the Mid Enlightened Master shuddered in pain as blood spilled down his mouth.

While the flying needles were special weapons that were extremely difficult to defend against, their thin and tiny structures also made them extremely fragile. A simple attack could easily damage and even destroy them.

Lu Ping didn’t dare to pause and immediately moved forward to jab the Golden Scale Sword at the Enlightened Master trapped in the sealing formation.

Although Lu Ping had proved himself strong enough to hold his ground against Mid Enlightened Masters, that didn’t mean he could defeat or even kill them. However, in this situation where the Mid Enlightened Master was trapped in a sealing formation, his mystic treasure destroyed, and his body wounded from the impact, it gave Lu Ping a chance to actually kill him!
