Wind Attribute: Nine Turns Reincarnation
Hen Duan looked at the inconspicuous girl in front of him, lightly moving his restraints, raising his head slightly to appear superior. As a Six Hen, dealing with this insignificant character was simply a piece of cake.
"Girl, if you don't want your teacher to lose his life in my barrier, you better surrender obediently. This barrier has the effect of amplifying the seal's power. If you don't do as I say, you could be my next target," Hen Duan said, holding a ball of purple light in his hand, which he then hurled towards Luo Yue.
"Six Hen's severance, don't dream. Have you ever seen a surrendering hero? My teacher Yu Long and I are here today to eliminate you," Luo Yue replied mercilessly. Although beads of sweat were forming on her forehead, it did not change her gaze, which remained bright and resolute, as if it had never considered giving up.
"What an unpleasant look in your eyes. Who did you learn this from? Why are all heroes like this? Your teacher is like this, and so are you. Even the old heroes I've encountered are like this," Hen Duan seemed unwilling to continue talking and took the initiative to attack, turning the sharp edge of his shield towards Luo Yue's throat.
"This is the characteristic of a hero; I won't allow you to insult him," Luo Yue shouted, raising her hands in a knife-like stance before making a slashing motion. Two crescent-shaped blades formed from vitality flew towards Hen Duan's shield, striking it and knocking Hen Duan back.
The sound of the explosion reached the barrier; more accurately, the shockwave from the explosion blew through the tiny gaps in the barrier and ruffled Yu Long's hair. At that moment, a formation was taking shape beneath his feet. Yu Long's only gamble was that Luo Yue could buy as much time as possible for him to completely deal with Hen Duan within the Great Wood Mystique.
Luo Yue took the initiative to attack, but every punch and kick landed on Hen Duan's shield without exception, while she herself was kept at bay by Hen Duan's shield, unable to break through for close combat.
"Little girl, this shield was specially prepared for you. You think fighting me like this will be effective? It's useless," Hen Duan laughed mockingly as he watched the girl vent her frustration on his shield. In this reversal of the five elements seal, such actions were tantamount to seeking death.
However, Luo Yue did not stop her attacks because beneath Hen Duan, the green formation still stood firm; true reversal was merely a matter of time.
Looking at the seal before her and the barrier containing Teacher Yu Long, beads of cold sweat began to trickle down Luo Yue's forehead. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared before her eyes, transforming everything she saw.
"Well done, Luo Yue. Next, you just need to break the seal!" Yu Long's voice reached Luo Yue, who focused her gaze—surprisingly, Hen Duan was standing still.
Indeed, it was Yu Long who activated the Great Wood Mystique. This would alter what the target saw and distract their attention. If Yu Long won in this environment, then Hen Duan would undoubtedly perish; if he lost, he would suffer equivalent severe injuries. However, at this point, Yu Long did not believe that Luo Yue would be unable to break the seal.
On the contrary, in Yu Long's thinking, breaking a seal is enough to trigger a widespread signal, so the missing Ran Xing and the two of them will know their whereabouts and at the same time learn about the destruction of the Seal of Wood Thunder Shaking, allowing them to infer the next steps on their own. Although it is not clear whether these two people have advanced techniques, it is believed that the breakthrough in the students' adaptability is more important to him at this time.
"Hen Dau... how... could it be Teacher Yu Long!" Luo Yue suddenly realized, then looked at the Seal of Wood Thunder Shaking behind Hen Duan, preparing to use Butterflies Dancing under the Clear Sky to break the seal.
Inside the Giant Wood Confusion, Yu Long is in a fierce battle with Hen Duan.
"Hen Dau, don't forget, you want the lives of our two teachers and students, but you haven't passed my test yet!" In front of Hen Duan, a vigorous and determined Yu Long stood as if reborn from the flames. Hen Duan couldn't help but be surprised: How is this possible? Where is that little girl?
At this moment, the seal and that girl have disappeared. Just as he hesitated, he saw Yu Long charging towards him with a strong vitality!
Hen Duan's all-round defense made it almost impossible for Yu Long to find any loopholes. His earthbending hands covered the front like a mountain, and with swift footwork, he turned and once again blocked Yu Long's attack with his shield. After the two struggled for the initiative, Yu Long feinted with one hand and punched straight for Hen Duan's eyes. In the instant Hen Duan raised his earthbending, Yu Long flicked his eyes downward, immediately gestured, and a green light of the Wood Attribute flashed in his eyes. Under Hen Duan's feet, something like a whirlwind suddenly rose from the ground, lifting him up like a tornado and then slamming him back down.
At this moment, Yu Long suddenly felt a huge surge of wood vitality flowing back towards his body. In an instant, he opened his eyes: it was Luo Yue!
Originally, Luo Yue took advantage of the moment when Hen Duan was immobilized and recklessly unleashed Tian Qian: Butterfly Dance, disregarding the loss of her own vitality. She directed the metallic threads' vitality towards the Seal of Wood Thunder Shaking, finally witnessing a surge of green light rising from the ground, which continuously flowed into the barrier that trapped Teacher Yu Long.
"Success!" Luo Yue's eyes lit up, and she felt that familiar sensation of exhaustion washing over her, causing her brow to gradually relax. Eventually, she knelt on one knee, breathing heavily.
Yes, Luo Yue succeeded. The barrier around her shattered as the seal was broken, releasing a powerful pillar of vitality, and in an instant, Hen Duan collapsed to the ground before her.
"Damn it! Yu Long, and you little girl, I will take your lives one day!" Hen Duan exclaimed furiously as he stood there. The barrier that had trapped Yu Long was overturned by Yu Long's Nine Turns Reincarnation, burying Hen Duan under the remnants of the barrier.
"Watch closely! This time the power is at least ten times greater than before!" Yu Long shouted, then regained her seriousness. With her hands in a Tai Chi stance, a giant dragon emerged behind her. The sealed Wood Attribute vitality continuously gathered towards Yu Long. Gradually, sand and wind began to swirl around her as the dragon's sharp claws let out a chilling roar. With Yu Long's technique— Wind Attribute: Subduing Dragon—an explosion shook the area for a hundred miles around. Hen Duan was completely defeated within his own barrier. The powerful shockwave sent Luo Yue staggering back several meters until she leaned against a tree.
The explosion of the seal mixed with Yu Long's technique spread far and wide. The strong winds rustled the trees in the valley and swept past the birds and beasts dwelling in the mountains. Even Shang Qing felt the wind brush through her hair from a distance. However, this only elicited a cold smile from Shang Qing, as it was inconsequential. A follower should simply fulfill their role; why be so eager to compete with me?
The wide-ranging signal was not only perceived by Shang Qing, but also by two other individuals, Shang Qing and Luo Yue, who were searching for it. Everyone was entangled in the mystery of each other's whereabouts, but it seemed that there were signs of it being unraveled.
The explosion caused by vitality made Ran Xing and the others who had just walked out of the laboratory tremble—this was clearly the vitality of Teacher Yu Long. Could it be that they had already begun to break the seal?!
Shao Meng opened his eyes, shook off Ran Xing's supportive hand, and gazed into the distance. "If Teacher Yu Long has recovered, then the seal of the Wood Attribute must have been broken as well. Teacher Yu Long and Luo Yue should be together; it seems we have a direction now!"
"What did you say?! We can find Teacher Yu Long? The explosion just now should have come from our north," Ran Xing speculated, pointing towards the direction where he felt the loudest sound.
"According to the principles of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams, the north corresponds to Water, the south to Fire, the west to Metal, the east to Wood, and the center to Earth," Shao Meng pondered with his head down. Since Ran Xing mentioned that the explosion might have come from the north, they should be near the south Fire position. To the northwest lies the Golden Celestial Qian Seal, and somewhere nearby is where the Fire seal is located. Among our team, there is no Earth Attribute hero, so it seems that Ran Xing will need some external assistance to break the seal. Right now, breaking the Golden Seal to help Luo Yue regain vitality might still be possible.
"I have a plan; I wonder what you think about it?" Shao Meng leaned closer to Ran Xing's ear and spoke mysteriously.
"Are you suggesting we look for the Metal Attribute seal?" Ran Xing's sudden clarity surprised Shao Meng, who nodded in agreement.
"Exactly! If Teacher Yu Long and Luo Yue are together, they will definitely continue searching for the remaining seals. Metal overcomes Wood; once that is completed, Fire overcomes Metal. I can help Luo Yue break the Metal Attribute seal, but you may need to wait a bit longer since we don't have anyone with Earth Attribute among us. It all depends on whether Teacher Yu Long has made any arrangements," Shao Meng explained his thoughts, and Ran Xing nodded in understanding.
"Good brother, on this journey, aside from Teacher Yu Long, you're the one who understands me best. If anything changes, just let me know how to cooperate with you," Ran Xing said. Little did they know that twenty miles away at a valley entrance, a group had already encountered Shang Qing, and this group's location was near where the Water seal was situated.
New information: After Meng Jiang Squad set out, Bald Eagle had not sent back any messages. Commander Qian Wen sat alone in the Trial Grounds' loft drinking tea while those around him were busy executing tasks, with few returning to report. Only a few guards remained by his side. Before leaving, he had instructed Meng Jiang not to waste time if they encountered Shang Qing; they needed to find the missing Yu Long Team members as quickly as possible and break the seals without letting past grudges interfere with important matters.
It was uncertain whether Meng Jiang, who valued friendship and spoke his mind, would strictly follow his orders.
Footsteps reached Qian Wen's ears as a tall female hero wearing black sheer stockings wrapped in a fitted qipao returned.
"Commander, Jiang Shan Hall Ziyuan is here to report," said the tall female hero respectfully as she poured tea for Qian Wen. He politely prepared her tea in return; they sat across from each other. Ziyuan's task was to scout recent movements of other Eight Desolates, especially Gui Mei. Her return was to report her findings.
"You've worked hard along the way; have some tea," Qian Wen offered her a cup filled with tea made from divine tree leaves that had restorative effects on vitality.
"Thank you, Commander. We traveled to Duanhun Cliff and Wraith Mountain as well as a place known as the Trial Grounds. The negative energy response there has decreased recently; we haven't seen large groups gathering there. As for Wraith Mountain and Gui Mei's side, there hasn't been any sign of activity either; it doesn't seem like they are planning any major moves. Should we cancel Yu Long Team's mission and have Meng Jiang Squad escort a retreat instead? We can discuss it further later," Ziyuan continued sharing her observations. On one hand, Gui Mei showed no significant activity; on the other hand, Duanhun Cliff's trial base no longer exhibited negative energy responses. Therefore, there seemed little reason to continue investigating since the enemy likely completed their experiments and destroyed their base while retreating under some cover.
So the participants in the mission need to return to the Trial Grounds to discuss strategies again, to avoid any issues arising from prolonged delays.
"Your intelligence is very important. I have already dispatched the Meng Jiang Squad, and it wouldn't be wise to call them back hastily. We should receive news from Yu Long soon, and I will consider your opinions then, just in case," Qian Wen said, nodding in satisfaction. Ziyuan, the student he had trained in the past, was now capable of handling things on his own. This intelligence was crucial; it all depended on how Yu Long would respond next.
"You might not know about the upcoming matters," Qian Wen began to tease.
"What do you mean?" Ziyuan asked, puzzled. Did he overlook something in his reconnaissance?
"Shang Qing has appeared and is probably on the way to intercept Meng Jiang Squad," Qian Wen said, leaving Ziyuan stunned. Wasn't that his fellow disciple? He was also his opponent from the trial competition back then. How could he be in a place like this?
Ziyuan stared wide-eyed at Qian Wen, but unfortunately, he did not receive an answer.
"Now he is a defector, a traitor of the Trial Grounds. There's no need to be so surprised," Qian Wen suppressed what Ziyuan was about to say.
"Commander, how could he?" Ziyuan continued to express his doubts.
"I apologize for these matters; I cannot tell you more. I hope you won't be affected by this. The letter from Yu Long has arrived, and I will notify you again."
"But..."
"No need to ask, just go back and stand by!" Qian Wen's tone was resolute, as if he no longer wished to say anything more.
Ziyuan, feeling helpless, could only retreat.
Ziyuan had once been Shang Qing, a student of Yu Long before the Trial Grounds at Shen Ju. Having grown up alongside Shang Qing, hearing these words seemed to deny his long-held impressions, causing him a pang of heartache: this was someone who would rather go hungry as a child to buy food to share with stray dogs on the street, someone who would deliver medicine to a sick teacher, yet today had become his enemy.
No one could accept such a reality, but our world is like this; real things often pierce the heart. Those things that truly bring us joy are often used by others for unknown purposes.
With that, Ziyuan activated Fire. Although he did not believe what Qian Wen had suddenly claimed, the emotions he had suddenly revealed might lead to the task being interrupted. He could only continue to linger in the hall and check on his students.
The Meng Jiang Squad arrived at the entrance of the Broken Soul Cliff when suddenly smoke billowed around them. A powerful metallic vitality surged forth, pushing everyone away from Fire. As the smoke cleared, a tall figure stood there—indeed, Shang Qing had finally encountered Meng Jiang, and a new battle was about to begin.
