Chapter 163 Returning from the Purchase and the Arrival of Physics
The elder held the fragment of tortoise shell that emitted a dark red aura in his hands.
The transparent light barrier of the Nine Heavens Gathering Spirit Array was violently distorted by the interference of the tortoise shell. The spiritual energy that was originally flowing on the surface of the light barrier was being forcibly drawn away by the strange patterns on the tortoise shell.
"Ye Qingcheng."
The elder took a step forward, his withered lips moving slightly.
"If you step aside now, the Martial Arts Alliance might at least leave you a decent corpse. That guy surnamed Lu is already dead in the East China Sea. The Shield Consortium's inescapable net can even kill a God-level expert. You expect a dead man to come back and save you?"
Ye Qingcheng leaned against the white marble gate.
Black blood was seeping from the five bloody holes in her chest, where the bone-piercing nails had pierced her. Her white dress had turned completely dark red.
"Old man."
Ye Qingcheng spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva, her hand gripping the broken sword tightly in reverse.
"You frogs in a well could never imagine the methods your master possesses. Do you think your worthless junk is worthy of breaking the formation of Panlong Mountain?"
The second elder walked up from behind, holding a fine steel cane in his hand.
"Stubborn to the end. Elder, why waste words with her? The signal jamming network set up by the Celestial Surveillance Bureau has been cut off. With such a commotion in Jiangzhou, official reinforcements will arrive in ten minutes at most. Quickly break the formation and drain that little girl's Nine Yin Meridians!"
"The shielding network Lin Zhen set up is gone. Do you think you can escape?"
A coughing sound like a broken bellows came from a nearby ornamental tree.
Lin Zhen was pinned to the tree trunk by a long, finely crafted steel spear. The spear pierced his right lung, and blood flowed down the tree trunk, pooling on the ground. With each breath he took, a string of fine blood bubbles rose from his mouth.
"You bunch of old dogs from the ancient martial arts world."
Lin Zhen forced his head up and grinned, his mouth covered in blood.
"When Mr. Lu returns, I think you won't even bother with the urn for his ashes. You'll just scatter him as fertilizer."
"Shut up!"
The Third Elder waved his hand back.
A burst of powerful qi materialized into a tangible blade, slicing a half-foot-long gash in Lin Zhen's stomach. His intestines spilled out of the wound, hanging onto the tree bark.
Lin Zhen was in so much pain that his vision went black, but he gritted his teeth and didn't let out a scream. His head lolled to the side and he passed out.
The elder ignored Lin Zhen and lifted the tortoise shell with both hands, pressing it down sharply.
The dark red patterns on the tortoise shell were very prominent.
A strong, putrid stench wafted out. This smell was different from the yin energy of the cultivation world; it carried a deathly aura that made people want to vomit.
Click!
A very obvious crack finally appeared on the light screen of the Nine Heavens Gathering Spirit Array.
The medicinal herbs in the villa's courtyard withered and turned yellow in large patches due to the stimulation of the deathly energy outside.
It's broken!
The Fourth Elder rubbed his hands together excitedly.
"Combined power! Tear the formation apart!"
The four reclusive elders, all at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, simultaneously channeled their inner energy, continuously pouring it into the tortoise shell. The red light on the tortoise shell grew increasingly intense, and the cracks on the light barrier spread rapidly like a spider web.
Ye Qingcheng's eyelid ruptured, and a line of bloody tears flowed down her cheek.
She knew that in her current state, she couldn't even defeat a martial artist with internal energy. Before leaving, Lu Yuan used his Mahayana True Essence to stitch up her meridians and strictly ordered her not to use her internal energy for six months.
But she cannot back down.
"My life was given to me by my master. Even if I burn myself to death today, I will not let you step through this door!"
Ye Qingcheng reversed the remaining qi and blood in her body without hesitation.
She forcibly ignited the faint golden Mahayana True Essence that remained in her meridians.
A power far exceeding her peak strength erupted from her dantian. But the price of this power was that her meridians were breaking inch by inch.
"court death."
The Second Elder snorted coldly, and with a sharp whistling sound, he smashed his steel cane directly at Ye Qingcheng's head.
Ye Qingcheng raised her broken sword to parry.
boom!
The broken sword shattered into pieces. The steel cane struck Ye Qingcheng's left shoulder heavily.
The sound of bones breaking was crisp and piercing. Ye Qingcheng was sent flying, crashing into the villa's sturdy exterior wall and tumbling down the steps.
She struggled to get up, but the left side of her body had completely lost sensation.
The Grand Elder didn't even glance at Ye Qingcheng before retracting the tortoise shell.
The light barrier of the Nine Heavens Gathering Spirit Array in front of them collapsed completely with a crisp sound of shattering glass.
The rich spiritual energy in the courtyard was freed from its restraints and instantly spread outwards.
The four elders took a deep, greedy breath.
"Such abundant spiritual energy! There must be top-grade spirit stones buried beneath Panlong Mountain!"
"Forget about the spirit stones for now. Capture that little girl! As long as we drain her Xuanmai blood and take her to Antarctica to appease those adults, we can obtain the true method of immortality!"
The First Elder took the lead, stepping over the scattered remnants of spiritual herbs, and walked towards the mahogany gate of the villa.
Just a second before his hand touched the doorknob.
it's dark.
The sky, which had been somewhat gloomy due to the broken formation, was suddenly completely obscured by a huge shadow.
There was no thunder.
There was only a sonic boom that pierced the eardrums.
The sound was not the friction sound of an object flying through the air, but rather the sound of a vacuum implosion caused by the air being forcibly displaced by an extremely large physical mass.
The elder instinctively raised his head.
His pupils contracted sharply in his eye sockets, and his mouth was agape enough to fit a fist.
The clouds were forcibly cut open, creating a crack that stretched for thousands of meters.
A gigantic, pale white bone, carrying terrifying kinetic energy capable of destroying the world, hurtled straight toward Panlong Mountain.
The bone was enormous. It stretched for hundreds of meters and was as thick as a pillar supporting the sky. The surface of the bone gleamed with a chilling light, distorting even the surrounding light.
"What is that thing?!"
The second elder was so frightened that he threw away his cane.
They were given absolutely no time to react.
Boom!
The dragon's main spine crashed heavily onto the bluestone plaza surrounding the Panlong Mountain villa.
The entire land in Jiangzhou City seemed to jolt violently.
The hard bluestone slab was smashed into powder. The shockwave, carrying tons of soil and gravel, transformed into a yellowish-brown tsunami several meters high, spreading wildly in all directions.
The four reclusive elders, all at the peak of the Transformation Realm, were blown away by the terrifying wind pressure before they could even set up their protective qi shields.
They tumbled through the air more than a dozen times before crashing heavily into the green belt dozens of meters away, leaving them dazed and confused.
Ye Qingcheng lay down at the bottom of the steps.
The enormous bone was less than ten meters in front of her. The ancient pressure emanating from the bone made it hard for her to breathe.
But she laughed. She laughed while spitting out blood.
The dust at the eye of the storm slowly dissipated.
A young man wearing a black windbreaker, his clothes torn to shreds, jumped down from the huge dragon bone.
Lu Yuan landed on both feet.
There wasn't a sound. Not even a speck of dust was stirred up.
That is a manifestation of the pinnacle of control over the physical body's power during the Mahayana stage.
"I'll just go out to pick up a package."
Lu Yuan patted the bone powder off his shoulder, his gaze sweeping over the pools of blood on the ground and the heavily injured Lin Zhen and Ye Qingcheng.
He lifted his foot and crushed a fragment of tortoise shell on the ground.
"A thief broke into my house."
The elder emerged from a clump of bushes, covered in dust and dirt. One of his arms had been dislocated in the impact and hung limply at his side.
He stared intently at Lu Yuan, then glanced at the ridiculously large bone beside him.
"You...you're not dead?"
The Grand Elder's voice trembled so much he could barely speak. The SHIELD Foundation had clearly sent a message saying the trap in the East China Sea had been activated; how could anyone possibly survive such an intense siege?
Not to mention it flew back carrying such a huge bone. What kind of monster is this?!
Lu Yuan did not answer his question.
He walked up to Ye Qingcheng.
Ye Qingcheng's meridians were 70% severed, and she was only hanging on by a thread.
"Qingcheng... failed to guard the gate... Please punish me, Master..."
Ye Qingcheng's voice was so faint it was like a mosquito's buzz.
"Shut up. Save your breath."
Lu Yuan gripped Ye Qingcheng's wrist with one hand. The wisp of pale golden true essence that had been restored in the deep sea flowed into her meridians.
The quality of Mahayana True Essence is ridiculously high.
The broken meridians in Ye Qingcheng's body began to reconnect at a visible speed under the nourishment of true essence. The bone-piercing nails that had been driven into her flesh were forcibly squeezed out by the true essence, falling to the ground with a crisp clanging sound.
Lu Yuan stood up and turned to look at the four reclusive elders standing dozens of meters away.
Those four people no longer even had the courage to run away.
Their proudly displayed Transcendent Qi was nothing more than a paper toy in front of that enormous dragon bone.
"Mr. Lu! This is a misunderstanding!"
The elder forced himself to swallow, trying to buy time.
"We've been misled by the S.H.I.E.L.D.! If you'll spare us, our Ancient Martial Arts Alliance is willing to give up all our resources..."
"Shut up."
Lu Yuan uttered two words.
The sound wasn't loud, but to the four elders it was like a bomb exploding in their minds.
Lu Yuan raised his right hand. His five fingers were spread open.
"The person who harmed me still has designs on my sister."
Lu Yuan's gaze was as calm as if he were looking at four corpses.
"You don't even deserve to be in a coffin."
