Chapter 10, Misalignment
Batianshen, who had been silently watching, finally scoffed disdainfully as the heavenly soldiers flew away, saying: "Is this all the ability you, Kong Xuan, possess?"
Daji was well aware of Kong Xuan's true abilities and feared no formidable adversary; however, she lacked the capacity to simultaneously contend with such a multitude of heavenly soldiers and generals. Thus, she retracted her nine tails and allowed the heavenly soldiers and generals to bind her with the magic-sealing chains.
After Chiyou left, their attention once again focused on Kong Xuan and Daji
Hell
Until they were re-bound to the Demon Locking Rack, a dozen heavenly generals finally breathed a sigh of relief. "Since you know repentance, we will not report this matter to the Heavenly Court," they said. After speaking, the group of heavenly soldiers and generals saw the Demon Locking Chains flying across the northern sky in a crisscross pattern, and they all flew over together.
Seventeen celestial soldiers swiftly emerged from the layers of golden shadows, wielding golden swords, silently pouncing on the purple figure on the ground from all directions
With such a multitude of demon-binding chains, if it takes the Nine Swords to sever even one, then confronting them head-on is merely seeking one's own demise. The demon-binding chains can all fly, while Yi Yun cannot; yet he has long wanted to know whether he runs faster on the ground or the chains fly faster in the sky
Zero decided that the purple-clad one would take them to explore the fairyland
Thousands of magical chains swept across the sky, howling past them...
The magic-binding chains on Kong Xuan's body were suddenly marked by a sword imprint that penetrated an inch deep.
The net of heaven is vast and wide, yet nothing escapes it
Thirty-three years ago, when Yi Yun and Xi Er first entered hell, they fell under the net of heaven. Its chains cannot be severed by a single sword, its reach is vast, its numbers astonishing, and there are also the formidable Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder
Zero lowered his head and observed for a while, occasionally discussing and deliberating with the lingering years beside him, and ultimately chose the Western Mountain of the West.
The purple-clad girl smiled gently, directly inviting them to sit down and talk, affectionately wrapping her arm around Ling'er, filled with joy and excitement. "I told you! Clearly, you have a scroll for restoring martial arts sent by Brother Huanghun, so why haven't you ascended to the immortal realm after thirty-three years? Brother Xiao Jian mentioned that you are best suited for the Heavenly Alliance. If you are unwilling, I will find a way to help you, seeking an immortal identity and a suitable tranquil place for cultivation."
The celestial soldiers and generals are capable of floating and flying, yet they are wary of the Heavenly Net's magical chains that may emerge at any moment. Yi Yun cannot leap at will; when the formation is just taking shape, he can only stand firm with his sword in hand, quietly observing the myriad golden flashes in the sky, waiting for a change
Turn around and run in rhyme
Above the magic sealing arena
Kong Xuan, that demon has already left, why do you not submit to justice
He runs faster than the flying Lock Demon Chain, drawing lessons from thirty-three years ago; he will never allow both feet to leave the ground at the same time
The Heavenly Network is activated, and the dancing chains of magic soar through the sky in harmony!
The celestial soldiers and generals were all indifferent, watching as Ziying dashed around in the magic confinement arena. She had returned several times in front of Kong Xuan, clearly attempting to sever his magic confinement chain. However, the guardian deity saw through her intentions and simply wove a small heavenly net ball with the magic confinement chain, completely enveloping Kong Xuan within it.
At the same time, Batian shouted loudly, "The madman has already died!"
The heavenly soldiers and generals filled the sky, and someone yawned. "... This demon has been running for three hours and still isn't tired, not slowing down at all."
The confidence of the celestial soldiers instantly collapsed, their faces pale as they maintained their formation, yet they no longer had the confidence to attack. "This demon mhetushucomcom is formidable, please, Guardian Deity, capture it with the Heavenly Net!" With a celestial general's loud call, all the celestial soldiers and generals retreated into the sky.
Seventeen golden swords have yet to be presented before Yi Yun, when suddenly, seventeen beams of purple sword energy burst forth!
Although he did not know what had happened, how could he lose his composure because of it? He did not dwell on the rhyme but focused on dealing with the current situation. As he rushed forward, he effortlessly struck the magic-binding chain that bound Kong Xuan with his sword.
Thousands of magical chains pursued the purple shadow, weaving and darting between rows of magical locking racks in the magical locking arena. The heavenly soldiers soared high into the air, watching from a distance. Initially, they all believed that once the heavenly net was deployed, the demon would surely be captured effortlessly. However, to their surprise, after a full quarter of an hour had passed, the magical chains had still not managed to catch up with the demon
Beyond the Peach Orchard
The guide completed their duties and took their leave. The woman who came with Ling Er appeared innocent, gazing around with curiosity, clearly fascinated by the fairyland.
As a person passes, the sword also passes, flying away in an instant for several dozen zhang.
SkyNet
After that, Ziying darted around the magic-sealing arena, not stopping for a moment
The heavens thundered with a stern reprimand, and the celestial soldiers shouted in unison, their voices resonating through the vast expanse of the sky
A man dressed in a robe led two white phantoms as they floated gracefully towards him
The leader, the members of the Years Gang are still waiting to be settled
In the blink of an eye, the attacking celestial soldiers fell, leaving over eighty corpses heavily thudding to the ground
Moving in a rhythmic manner like a purple shadow, it dashed through the magic-sealing arena like lightning. Intentionally maintaining a proper distance from the magic-sealing rack, it rendered the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder of the magic-sealing chain ineffective. These magic-sealing racks were made of metal, and if the pursuing magic-sealing chain were to unleash the Nine Heavens Mysterious Thunder, it would inevitably strike the magic-sealing rack.
As the person's voice fell, Ling Er calmly clasped his fists in salute and said: "Alliance Leader"
No matter how swift the sword energy may be, if the distance is too great, it will inevitably provide the enemy with sufficient time to react. After a brief engagement, Yi Yun has roughly estimated that these celestial soldiers can evade or block at a distance of ten zhang, and can dodge at a distance of thirteen zhang.
Dreamlike Wonderland
Kong Xuan originally intended to engage in a futile battle only to fulfill his obligations. Now that Xi'er has departed, he has decided to accept his fate, letting his hands fall to his sides, slowly closing his eyes, and awaiting his demise.
After the formation was established, the swaying celestial soldiers transformed into golden phantoms with long tails. The encirclement gradually tightened as they prepared to launch the Phantom Flash Demon Strike
This demon is truly formidable! Swift as lightning, what kind of extraordinary powers does it possess
As the words fell, the figure of Yiyun was already out of sight. Daji and Kong Xuan glared at Batian in anger, yet he remained indifferent, laughing with self-satisfaction
The Demon-Sealing Field, on the other side
Ling Er let out a long, deep sigh, her face filled with a nostalgic sorrow. "After so many years of fighting and killing... I am weary. I no longer wish to be involved in the affairs of the Heavenly Alliance"
"She has followed Chiyou—" Daji shouted loudly, fearing that Yiyun might be unaware of the situation and become disturbed.
Each strike was faster than the golden sword, effortlessly piercing the foreheads of the heavenly soldiers...! ... Before those heavenly soldiers, who flashed and created dazzling illusions, could retreat, they were claimed by the circle of star-like purple sword energy that followed closely behind the flash!
Zero smiled as he pulled her closer and introduced, "Her name is Youyou Su Yue, and she is the deputy leader of the Su Yue Gang that I established in the mortal realm. Her martial arts skills are quite impressive, but she has delayed her arrival in the immortal realm just to wait for them."
Looking at the distant sky, Yi Yun saw a group of heavenly soldiers flying over. Uncertain of how things were on Xi Er's side, he decided to rush over. As he got closer, he was shocked to find that Kong Xuan and Da Ji were once again locked up, while Xi Er was nowhere to be seen.
Why don't the guardians all come out in full force and see where he can escape to
I see that this demon has ulterior motives
North of the Demon Locking Field
Behind him, the magical chains, either high or low above the ground, flew swiftly in pursuit. As he ran, chains would suddenly emerge from the ground, yet none could intercept his flashing figure. The acceleration effect of the lightness technique in the Northern Falling Purple Sky's ultimate skill enhanced his running speed and sword-drawing speed; the instant shadow movement effect granted him the ability to reach short distances in an instant, akin to a divine ability of shrinking the earth to inches; the weightlessness effect allowed his body to become completely weightless, with the power generated by his internal energy lightness technique being unaffected by his own body weight; the acceleration effect of the lightness technique in the Northern Falling Purple Sky's ultimate skill enhanced his running speed and sword-drawing speed; the instant shadow movement effect granted him the ability to reach short distances in an instant, akin to a divine ability of shrinking the earth to inches; the weightlessness effect allowed his body to become completely weightless, with the power generated by his internal energy lightness technique being unaffected by his own body weight; the forced passage effect enabled him to traverse through tiny gaps that would otherwise be impossible to cross when necessary.
"I am not adept at facing many opponents alone, and lacking any assurance of victory, why should I needlessly add to the casualties? What fault do these heavenly soldiers and generals bear? They are merely fulfilling their duties." Kong Xuan spoke in a calm tone, turning to gaze at the sky where the heavenly net and magic chains danced, filled with remorse. "It is a pity that he offered guidance..."
Zi Shan gazed at Ling Er with her round, sparkling eyes, a smile illuminating her face. She then took out a scroll from her embrace, which depicted several ethereal landscapes filled with the essence of immortals. "Quickly take a look and see which place you would like to choose for your secluded cultivation"
At this moment, the magic sealing arena has completely transformed its appearance. Most of the magic sealing frames are entangled with flying magic chains, resembling a * diagram * book. From a high vantage point, those ensnared magic sealing frames appear as if they are bulging with heavy, excess flesh.
A large group of heavenly soldiers hovered in mid-air
The alliance leader and the vice alliance leader have restored their martial arts and ascended to the realm of immortals
How does the magic lock frame weave a net
Seventeen golden shadows swooped down like lightning, while more celestial soldiers darted and flashed, employing flickering phantoms to create dazzling illusions in an attempt to confuse their formidable foes
A group of heavenly soldiers and generals continuously discussed and debated the situation as they observed it.
Countless locking magic chains burst forth from the ground outside the self-locking magic field, each chain resembling a blood-red demon snake, writhing and suddenly shooting towards Yi Yun with great speed
Daji remained silent, knowing that although the magic-sealing chain was broken and there were celestial soldiers, she did not truly believe she had gained her freedom. At this moment, despite her disappointment, she managed to regulate her emotions and found herself feeling more melancholic about Qi'er’s departure. She could not help but feel that, in this way, upon returning, Yi Yun would inevitably be filled with depression and sorrow.
"Alright then, let's set it for another day," said Zishan with a hearty laugh as she watched Ling'er and the leisurely years drift away. Only then did she sit back down on the cloud, fiddling with those elixirs. "Such a lackluster idea could hardly have originated from Xiaoyunxi... It seems that the Abyss of No Return is indeed terrifying; escaping from it is truly difficult..."
Standing with a sword in hand, still expressionless, he gazed blankly ahead, his eyes not following the swaying celestial soldiers at all
The celestial formation that these heavenly soldiers take pride in is utterly powerless before the swiftest sword in the mortal realm. They believe the fleeting phantoms are fast, but to Yi Yun, they are not fast at all. He does not need to see; he merely relies on the state of self-forgetfulness in the realm of killing to capture the approaching murderous intent and retaliate.
