Chapter Eight, Boundless Fallen Leaves
Fortunately, his maneuver was merely a feint. As his body soared through the air, he gracefully twisted and turned, executing the Bird Stretching Transformation from the Five Animal Play—like a swallow glancing back. He narrowly evaded the overwhelming force that rushed past him and landed skillfully beside the astonished young girl, with a short sword that had seemingly appeared from nowhere already pressed against her neck.
Endless falling leaves? ! '' The girl was so surprised that she couldn't help but widen her eyes. This is a spell of considerable level in the wood element, how is it possible? ! Moreover, it was activated using talismans!
He certainly did not intend to make things difficult for the other party, and he also noticed that the young lady did not seem to harbor much anger towards this person. After receiving a few slaps earlier, the young girl appeared to feel quite regretful. However, if she were to let the other party off so easily, it would make her previous words seem weightless.
Xue Chan's expression changed abruptly, and he took a deep breath, his voice ominous as he said: "Young man, are you trying to bring disaster upon your family?"
Amidst the turbulence of the air, the entire cabin emitted a creaking sound, as if it were about to fall apart, which illustrates the tremendous power of this strike
Jiang Fengyi is quite amusing; it is unexpected to find such a humorous middle-aged man in this era. This inevitably gives him a greater sense of closeness to the present time. If he were to travel back to the conservative atmosphere of the Song or Ming dynasties, he would surely feel stifled.
Although it is known that this is a form of sorcery, the immense power of the giant tree unleashed by this sorcery is undeniably real. If one were to be caught off guard and struck by it, even a master of the Heavenly Realm would suffer losses.
"Hehe, am I really that old? In Guanzhong, I am the dream lover of many people," said Wei Chi Wubing with a smile.
Jiang Feng did not respond, merely smiling. Wei Chi Wubing pondered for a moment, nodded, and said, "I suppose you have a point..."
"Hehe, don't look at me, I know nothing about this thing. It is my friend's experimental item and also my talisman for survival." Jiang Feng also noticed that the killing intent from Wei Chi Wu Bing and Xue Chan had long since dissipated, realizing that he had passed this hurdle. With a苦 face, he deeply bowed and said, "Lord Wei Chi, please let me go this time."
The massive tree came crashing down, merely obstructing him for a moment. He did not have time to draw the dagger at his waist, yet he calmly stepped forward and struck out a palm towards Jiang Feng, who had already leaped towards the window.
Jiang Feng was unaware that Xue Chan's formidable technique, the Great Giant Spirit Hand, was derived from the supreme and vigorous power of the Buddhist "Diamond Sutra". However, from the changes in the surrounding air, he realized that this move was sufficient to cast him down to the mortal realm
Certainly, such a thing could not happen in front of Wei Chi Wubing
The burst of magical sword energy scattered and struck the walls of the entire cabin, causing them to crackle and pop. The golden brocade curtains became riddled with holes, and the walls were also hit back, with wood splinters embedded and piercing through, leaving them battered and scarred.
"Hmph, it is quite normal for fish to die; to break the net, I fear you do not yet possess that capability." Xue Chan scoffed disdainfully, but upon seeing Jiang Feng lower his short sword, clearly with no intention to harm, his tone softened considerably.
While Wei Chi Wubing unleashed the Qingming Sword Qi, Xue Chan was not idle either
Wei Chi Wubing's eyes narrowed sharply, like a needle pricking, as they fell upon the leisurely Jiang Feng, yet he remained silent
"Lord Xue, I do not dare to, I merely wish to prove that I am not without the power to resist. Do not force me to take drastic measures that would lead to mutual destruction." Jiang Feng shook his head calmly, putting down the short sword in his hand, "It was just a joke. I hope that Lord Weichi and Lord Xue will not take offense. Miss Li and I are friends, how could I possibly harm her?"
Wei Chi Wubing and Xue Chan also turned pale in shock, as neither of them had anticipated that this individual, who appeared ready to provide a profound analysis for everyone, would unexpectedly deliver such a surprising "delight" right from the start, which was utterly beyond their expectations
Wei Chi Wubing actually finds this fellow quite interesting, as he unexpectedly employs this tactic of retreating to advance.
"Lord Weichi, please do not make things difficult for me. I was also forced into this situation by circumstances. " Jiang Feng understood that without addressing certain matters directly, it would be hard to fulfill his obligations. "With just this piece of information, I truly find it difficult to provide a specific analysis. However, one thing I can almost be certain of is that this is not related to external enemies, but rather internal matters. To be precise, it concerns the Liu family itself. As for the reasons behind it, that will have to be left for you, Lord Weichi, to ponder."
With a flick of his long eyebrows, the soft jade belt sword wrapped around his waist automatically flew out at the gentle tap of Wei Chi Wu Bing
Jiang Feng was overjoyed, "Lord Yuchi, you are a person of great stature, and your words must carry weight..."
"Young man, you were the one who volunteered just now, so you can't blame me for that." With a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown, she glanced at Jiang Feng and said, "Go ahead, you don't look like someone who lacks confidence. I'm still waiting for your esteemed opinion."
However, I have only pardoned you for the crime of trespassing into His Highness's inner cabin, but I have not agreed to allow you to remain on the ship..." Wei Chi Wubing cast a glance at Jiang Feng, a smile that was neither a smile nor a frown.
"Hello, you actually know wood-based magic? No, wait, where did this talisman come from? Did you make it?" The girl, however, seemed not to care much about Jiang Feng's somewhat offensive behavior; instead, she was very interested in the talisman that had already rolled onto the deck. She had picked it up and was examining it closely. "This is made from the roots of a thousand-year-old dragon cypress. No wonder it has the aura of ancient wood, with countless leaves falling down. I didn't expect to encounter someone like this here..."
Wei Chi Wubing's body trembled slightly, and then he glanced at Xue Chan, who also appeared somewhat astonished. The latter seemed to have thought of something, yet was uncertain, merely shaking his head without speaking. Meanwhile, the young girl appeared somewhat perplexed, asking, "What kind of riddle are you two playing?"
The originally ordinary palm seemed to suddenly swell several times, transforming into an illusory impression the size of a wooden basin, spinning and rotating rapidly. The air in the entire space appeared to be compressed, forming a violently rotating vortex that was forcefully expelled forward
The swirling halo, driven by the rolling logs, rapidly expanded to encompass the entire cabin, with Wei Chi Wubing being the first to bear the brunt, leaving him unable to evade it
The azure sword energy soared and danced in the air, leaping into the sky and transforming into a piercingly clear azure light. In the blink of an eye, fish and dragons danced, and seventy-two exquisite and resplendent sword energies had already sliced the previously surging giant logs into countless fragments.
The pale yellow wooden talisman was only the length of a finger, glistening and translucent, spinning and leaping in the air. A hazy yellow halo expanded gradually as the talisman flipped in the air, instantly transforming into several giant logs, each measuring one zhang square, forming a massive array of rolling logs. With a thunderous roar, it surged forward with boundless momentum, fiercely charging towards Wei Chi Wubing and Xue Chan.
At the moment when Wei Chi Wubing and the other two were lost in thought, Jiang Feng quietly took a step back, then summoned his mysterious energy, activated the spiritual talisman, and began to offer the talisman.
Uh, Lord Weichi, surely you wouldn't jest with a mere youth like me? However, if you have any orders, I shall comply without fail. Jiang Feng forced a bitter smile and bowed respectfully. If I were truly to be driven off the ship, I fear I would not escape the clutches of the Liu family from Nanyang. This old fox, I wonder what else he intends to extract from me.
