Chapter 361: Jin Tian Disciples Fix the Seal

Inside the cave, Guan Tianyou explained, “Pay attention, this is Senior Sister Chuchu’s second axe. It’s going well; she’s firmly suppressing the Yinkui Dragon and hasn’t let this vile creature unleash its full power. Last time we came here, we suffered greatly.”

“Let’s go again!” Chuchu’s golden light erupted from beneath her feet, creating an overwhelming force that surged forward, ready to crush the ordinary practitioners at the Bosa stage like cutting vegetables.

“Boom, boom, boom…” It sounded as if the world was turning upside down. Guan Tianyou quickly steadied himself and shouted, “We’ve gotten rid of the sixth and seventh layers of the Yinkui Dragon’s shadow body. The eighth layer is going to be tougher than all the previous ones combined. Last time, we had to halt our attack at the eighth layer; that guy is definitely going to be furious. Get ready to defend!”

“Watch my fourth axe!” Chuchu laughed heartily, “Hahaha, the Great Into Oblivion Sword, kill, kill, kill! I’m finally going to change my name to the Four Axe Strikes!”

“Is it really the Four Axe Strikes?” Xu Houde and Guan Tianyou were shocked, and then they saw golden light strike the Yinkui Dragon, shattering the eighth layer of its shadow body.

“Bang…”

“Eighth layer? The eighth layer is gone.”

“Not good, there’s still the ninth layer.” Xu Houde and Guan Tianyou looked toward Chuchu and saw her slumped against the sword hilt, pointing at the dragon as she said, “You all hang in there; I’ll recover soon.”

“Senior Sister, that’s not going to work! We aren’t as fierce as you!”

“Hmph, I’m not leaving anyway.” Chuchu insisted.

Li Hui spoke up, “Don’t worry, watch me! I can still accelerate the flow of time in a small area, and I can also give you two a little boost.”

The three looked at him in surprise as the decent-looking Junior Brother raised his hand, generating a soft shining light that enveloped Chuchu while sending out several treasure talismans.

Xu Houde and Guan Tianyou’s eyes widened as they took on fierce Vajra-like expressions.

“Kill!”

Chuchu was surprised; the once timid Guan Tianyou and Xu Houde had suddenly grown fierce, striking the Yinkui Dragon with great force, causing it to howl in pain.

“Hey! Good! You can actually accelerate time by thirty times! With thirty times, hahaha, I will recover quickly.”

Li Hui smiled, knowing that as a talisman himself, he naturally had powerful capabilities.

This Yinkui Dragon was something else; despite receiving a series of fierce attacks, it didn’t move an inch. It seemed to guard the cave fiercely. It would be absurd to say he wasn’t curious about it. Furthermore, it felt especially satisfying to assist a cultivator like Chuchu; as a talisman maker inherited from the Jade Symbol Sect, while his attack methods might not compare to the Jin Tian Sect disciples, his supporting abilities were definitely unparalleled—giving him that confidence.

Xu Houde and Guan Tianyou roared loudly, empowered by the Arhat Seven Kill Talisman, unleashing even their ultimate moves without losing their sanity as they closed the distance. Although they had returned defeated before, they had measured out a safe range to strike from.

About half a tea’s time later, Chuchu raised her head and laughed, her hair becoming even more disheveled.

She shook her shoulders cheerfully: “I’m back to full strength! Let’s see who dares to call me the Three Axe Strikes; it’s clearly the Eight Axe Strikes now, and I’m going to strike four more times.”

“Oh dear!” Xu Houde and Guan Tianyou collapsed to the ground; after such a short while, they were nearly exhausted, filled with an overwhelming killing intent. They couldn’t help but feel like crying over the precious treasures they’d just used recklessly.

“Boom, boom, boom, boom!”

With those four sounds from four swords, Chuchu poured all her strength into her attack, finally breaking through the ninth layer of the Yinkui Dragon’s shadow body. However, dark energy surged forth, raising a sense of dread within her.

Xu Houde shouted, “This isn’t good! The ninth layer is the dragon skin it hasn’t shed yet; it’s its calamity. If we act rashly, we’re helping it through its tribulation!”

Chuchu sneered, “Hmph, I noticed that long ago. The sect granted me a treasure, and it’s time to practice on it. This vile creature is the biggest threat near Ruijin City; if we don’t get rid of it quickly, the suffering of the living will only intensify. If it converts to a black dragon pool and extracts the Dragon Energy from the earth, that would be a real disaster.”

In the next moment, Chuchu released a three-foot-tall treasure tower.

The tower had thirteen layers, exquisite and charming, releasing mysterious yellow energy as it spun around, scattering countless light and shadow forward.

“Ah! The exquisite treasure tower, wait, it’s a copy!” Xu Houde quickly ducked down.

Chuchu positioned her six-zhang golden sword horizontally like a shield in front of the four of them. Li Hui felt a wild shift in the air as endless light erupted, and all the loose rocks above started to “boom” down, causing the enormous underground cave to completely collapse, as the ground above had already sunk in.

“Roar…” The Yinkui Dragon charged forward to meet the overwhelming pressure. The surrounding area echoed with ghosts howling, while terrifying dark energy surged up from the underground. With the dark moon at full, its power had become absurdly strong.

When Li Hui came to his senses, he found all the collapsing rocks had turned into black quicksand. Looking out, the four stood on a black desert, with a hundred zhang long black dragon glaring at them. If not for the thirteen zhang tall exquisite treasure tower suppressing the dragon’s head, it would have surely charged at them.

“Roar…”

At this moment, even Ruijin City could hear the dragon’s roar. The black wind and sand swirled violently as the Yinkui Dragon displayed its power. Fortunately, earlier Li Hui had released many Spirit Armor Talismans and Turtle Mountain Seals to resist the black wind and sand.

Within a hundred miles, life was extinguished!

Within a hundred miles, everything turned to nothingness!

Chuchu bit her tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood, causing her six-zhang golden sword to explode with brilliant light, blocking the wind and sand while stabbing forward, her face filled with determination.

Even if Li Hui was no longer an ordinary Initial Condense Essence Stage cultivator, he was still struggling to move in this environment, making attacks even more difficult.

“Explode!” A golden mushroom cloud rose in the distance, following which Chuchu charged into the wind and sand. Xu Houde breathed a sigh of relief, saying, “Senior Sister Chuchu has no choice but to unleash her blood potential and break the seal now; I wonder how long it will take to deal with the Yinkui Dragon.”

“Oh? Wasn’t the swordplay just now not Senior Sister Chuchu’s strongest combat power?” Li Hui asked in surprise.

Xu Houde and Guan Tianyou exchanged knowing smiles, saying, “Naturally not. The disciples from the Heart Refining Branch cultivate their bodies, while the disciples from the Jin Tian Sect work on sealing; it’s like practicing running with weights. The more seals added, the stronger they get once those seals are released. Right now, Senior Sister Chuchu has added twelve layers of seals on herself.”

“Twelve layers of seals?”

Xu Houde shook his head, “Adding seals comes with a significant cost, and releasing those seals also requires a hefty price. I’ve heard that among the inner sect, Brother Zhang Daoheng added fifty-four seals on himself, setting a record in the history of the Jin Tian Sect’s inner disciples. Senior Sister Chuchu has a long way to go!”

Just as Li Hui was about to ask how to set seals on himself, he heard a mournful cry in front of him, and all the wind and sand fell silent. Chuchu returned, holding the exquisite treasure tower overhead.

“Slowpoke, help me fix my treasure! Ahh, I’m so tired; I want to sleep and recover. Guan Tianyou and Junior Brother Li, help suppress the Yinkui Dragon; also, check if this vile creature is guarding anything. I want seventy percent of the benefits; no tricks!”

Li Hui was a bit stunned, “Is that it? You’re done?”

Xu Houde laughed, “Of course that’s it; however, it still relies on the exquisite treasure tower. Although this treasure is a copy, it has fragments of a cave world that can seal strange objects.”

“Let’s go, clean up the battlefield.” Guan Tianyou was already eager to move.
