Chapter 137 Ambushing the Light Guard
Chapter 137 Ambushing the Light Guard
Upon seeing the newcomer, Zhu Chongjiu didn't say a word, and thrust his sword forward with his fingers drawn together. At the same time, he thought to himself, "What's the point of talking about martial ethics when fighting against someone two major realms higher than me? I should save my life first."
However, things didn't go as planned. Just as Zhu Chongjiu was about to use the Void Law to expel one of the Law Seeds from his mind and attack the humanoid figure of light and shadow in front of him, he found that he couldn't move.
Moreover, it means being completely immobilized. What does "completely immobilized" mean? The root is all of one's physical attack methods! The essence is that one's physical body is as if it has been frozen in place, except for the eyes, the blood flowing in the body, and the beating heart.
In an instant, Zhu Chongjiu tried every method he could think of, but to no avail. After repeated attempts, Zhu Chongjiu realized that the humanoid figure in front of him was not using a freezing spell, but rather using its powerful strength to imprison him, simultaneously sealing off his internal energy, meridians, and acupoints.
While Zhu Chongjiu was still trying to figure out how to break the deadlock, the humanoid figure spoke up, "Don't waste your energy. Even if you are one of the best in your class, you can't possibly cross two major realms to escape my control."
After the humanoid figure finished speaking, it released the restraints on Zhu Chongjiu's head, allowing him to speak.
However, the sound of the humanoid light and shadow was like the sound of hundreds of people deliberately making a scraping sound on glass, making Zhu Chongjiu's heart feel as if hundreds of insects were crawling over it, and his mind was even more difficult to concentrate, making him extremely uncomfortable.
This caused the Taoist Heart-Cleansing Mantra to suddenly ring in Zhu Chongjiu's mind, which made him feel a little better and at least allowed him to concentrate his spiritual energy.
However, Zhu Chongjiu did not show it. His face was slightly contorted as he endured the discomfort and asked with difficulty, "Who are you, and why are you chasing me?"
The humanoid figure seemed to know that its voice would cause the other party great pain, so it deliberately raised its voice and said, "I am a guard of the Immortal Lord Zhurong's Palace. I am here on the orders of Immortal Lord Zhurong to bring you back to the Immortal Lord's Palace to await the Immortal Lord's judgment."
Hearing Guangwei's question and the added emphasis in his voice, Zhu Chongjiu replied with an even more pained expression: "Immortal King Guangwei, what Young Master Zhurong needs is no longer on my person. If the Immortal Lord's Mansion wants it, it can simply send someone to the Cangshen Realm to retrieve it. Why bother to come and capture such an unknown nobody as me?"
Would doing this be beneath the dignity of a celestial lord?
The little thing is quite eloquent, but I only follow orders and don't care about anything else.
Guangwei paused for a moment before continuing, "However, I am more interested in the magic you used to escape."
Given your current level, the fact that you can leap thousands of miles in an instant and continue for three months makes me very curious.
If you can tell me this method, perhaps I will let you go.
The Void has no laws, and in this vast universe, a mere Immortal King naturally cannot discern its meaning. Moreover, the six little ones used to provide Zhu Chongjiu with a continuous source of energy have already been stored in the storage ring given to him by Shui Ying, and this Light Guardian cannot sense their aura at all, so he believes it is merely a high-level immortal technique.
After hearing Guangwei's words, Zhu Chongjiu pondered for a moment, then spoke with a pained expression: "My Lord Immortal King, could you please stop using your supernatural powers and stop torturing me with your voice?"
"Shall we discuss this in more detail later?"
Hmph! I'm not negotiating with you. You, a mere celestial official, are not worthy to negotiate with me.
I've heard you're incredibly cunning and treacherous. While I'm not afraid of any tricks you might pull, my Fiery Voice is merely a small punishment and warning to you.
Moreover, I'm giving you a chance now. Whether you take this opportunity or not, and what consequences you'll face later, is up to your imagination!
Hearing Guangwei coax, deceive, threaten, and scare him, Zhu Chongjiu immediately put on a pleading expression and said, "It was my rudeness. Thank you for the opportunity, Immortal King."
I am in such a terrible state right now. I will tell you the incantation and cultivation method of this immortal technique. Please forgive me.
As soon as Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, the guard opposite him immediately said excitedly, "Why aren't you saying anything yet?"
It's not that I don't want to speak, but I'm currently under your tight control and can't use any of my inner strength.
Furthermore, as you know, due to the nature of the universe, sound transmission is problematic. In ordinary speech, you can listen to or watch my lip movements to understand. However, this set of immortal incantations is truly special; some pronunciations are quite obscure. Misunderstanding even one word can lead to completely different interpretations, so you need to listen carefully.
I know that you, Celestial King, cannot break free from your control over me right now, but you can come closer to me so that I can hear most of what you've heard. If there are any words you don't understand, I will explain them to you separately later.
After Zhu Chongjiu answered quickly with a pained expression, Guangwei didn't think much of it. In a flash, he stood two meters in front of Zhu Chongjiu.
It wasn't that Guangwei wasn't careful enough, but rather that he was overconfident in his supernatural abilities.
Guangwei believed that, having surpassed his opponent by two major realms, he could use his preferred mental techniques to attack, making it impossible for the opponent to have the energy to weave a flawless lie in an instant. Even if the opponent was deceiving him, surely he wouldn't be defeated by an ant two major realms below him?
Therefore, as soon as Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking, Guangwei appeared in front of Zhu Chongjiu without any hesitation.
Just as the Light Guardian had taken his stance, his entire body suddenly shone brightly. "I'll show you a human cannon!" "Don't dare!" Two voices rang out simultaneously.
Because Zhu Chongjiu's understanding of the Void Laws has increased, and the control of the Light Guard over his head has been lifted, coupled with the effect of the Heart-Cleansing Technique, although Zhu Chongjiu could not use his internal energy, he used his divine sense to communicate with the Void Seed, allowing it to instantly envelop the Light Guard.
Why didn't Guangwei do that when he first untied Zhu Chongjiu's head, but waited until now?
Because with Zhu Chongjiu's current mental strength and control over the Void Law Seed, he can only release it silently from his body, within a distance of a few meters.
This is due to the characteristics of the Void Law, the chaos of the Law attributes in the Void of the Universe, and the arrogance and carelessness of the Light Guardian, which enabled Zhu Chongjiu to shroud the Void Seed in the Light Guardian.
Otherwise, with the strength of a Celestial King, the moment you release the Void Seed, the other party will already be tens of thousands of miles away.
At this moment, as Guangwei was enveloped by the Seed of Void Law, Shubo's power over Zhu Chongjiu also disappeared.
Zhu Chongjiu once again used the Void Law, leaping several times in succession. When he stopped again, he was already tens of thousands of miles away from Guangwei.
Zhu Chongjiu looked around and saw that Guangwei was releasing a dazzling light, trying to break free from the shroud of the Void Law Seed.
However, even without the support of internal energy, it is not so easy to escape the shroud of the Void Laws by the laws themselves alone.
Thus, Guangwei's strength led to a stalemate with the Void Law.
Just then, Zhu Chongjiu heard Guangwei roar at him: "You lowly human, quickly withdraw your attack, or when I get out, I will tear you apart and make you wish you were dead."
Zhu Chongjiu did not respond verbally, but watched this scene quietly from tens of thousands of miles away, thinking to himself, "To be able to make a sound even with the characteristics of nothingness, he truly deserves to be a Heavenly King-level expert!"
It was also because his own strength was too weak. If he had reached the level of Heavenly Descent, with his own internal force enhancing the laws, he could have made the Light Guardian not last more than a few seconds before turning into nothingness in this vast universe.
But that's enough. I don't believe he's not dead.
After Zhu Chongjiu finished speaking sternly in his heart, he saw the light emitted by the Light Guard gradually shrinking and receding at a speed visible to the naked eye. This was followed by various insults and threats from the Light Guard.
One minute later, under the constant erosion of the Void Law, the light emitted by the Light Guardian could only be maintained within half a meter of itself, and it was still shrinking.
At this moment, the guards' insults towards Zhu Chongjiu had stopped, and only constant pleas for mercy could be heard.
Another minute passed, and Guangwei's humanoid form had vanished, reduced to a mere human shape by the erosion of the Void Laws. Seeing this, Zhu Chongjiu leaped towards it, standing once more before Guangwei, who was still pleading for mercy. However, Guangwei's pleas could no longer penetrate the Void Laws and reach Zhu Chongjiu's ears.
