Chapter 606 - 606 Celestial Dog Eclipsing the Moon
Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Celestial Dog Eclipsing the Moon [13th Update] Chapter 606: Chapter 606: Celestial Dog Eclipsing the Moon [13th Update] The faces of the four Sect Leaders twitched, for that was Huo Dongjun of the Seventh Rank in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, who couldn’t even withstand a single move against Li Xiaoyao. How were they supposed to fight this?
The four Sect Leaders weren’t fools. Although Li Xiaoyao had killed their disciples, what of it?
They had so many disciples under them that the death of one or two didn’t affect them at all. It wasn’t like the Huo Family, having lost two out of three of the second generation and still causing a huge scene at the annual meeting.
Even though the Huo Family’s power and influence were great in Zhu Island City, that wasn’t a reason for them to court death.
The Sect Leader of Qingxuan Sect cupped his fist in the other hand and said, “Mountains remain unchanged, and rivers flow forever. Today’s humiliation will be avenged in the future.”
Having said that, the Sect Leader of Qingxuan Sect turned to leave, but Li Xiaoyao suddenly let out a cold laugh and said, “Since you intend to take revenge on me someday, do you think I can let you go?”
The Sect Leader’s heart skipped a beat. Before he could speak, the others felt a streak of cold light flash by, and the next second, the head of the Qingxuan Sect Leader flew off, blood spurting outward.
...
The remaining three Sect Leaders and Huo Dongcheng trembled violently again. Li Xiaoyao was too powerful, so powerful that they didn’t even have a trace of the will to resist.
The atmosphere settled into an eerie calm, and after a long while, the Sect Leader of Dragon Tiger Sect finally said, “Li Xiaoyao, your Cultivation Level is impressive, I truly admire you. I just happened to pass by here today, and I hope you don’t misunderstand.”
Hearing this, the Sect Leaders of Taihang Sect and Wu Sect cursed in their hearts at the old man’s shamelessness. Huo Dongcheng cursed every female ancestor of his for eighteen generations, but even with his anger, he had no better solution.
Who would dare to provoke Li Xiaoyao under these circumstances?
The Sect Leaders of Taihang Sect and Wu Sect quickly added, “I, too, was merely passing by.”
Not far away, the Cultivators with average cultivation levels were speechless. Were these old guys really so adept at playing the opportunist that they could say such shameless words?
Li Xiaoyao wouldn’t mind killing all of them, but since they were submitting willingly, he saw no need to create further slaughter.
His gaze shifted to Huo Dongcheng. Li Xiaoyao enunciated each word indifferently, “Zhang Meng, where is she?”
Huo Dongcheng, lacking any will to fight at this moment, immediately responded, “In a villa on Ping Mountain’s peak.”
With a flick of his fingers, the Seven Star Ancient Sword grew violently larger, turning into a shadowy figure hovering beneath Huo Dongcheng’s feet.
Then came Li Xiaoyao’s icy voice, “Get on.”
Huo Dongcheng stared at the Ancient Sword beneath his feet, shocked and involuntarily exclaimed, “Sword Control Technique! Are you an Ancient Sect swordsman?”
“Ancient Sect swordsman?” Li Xiaoyao frowned slightly. He had never heard of this Sect, but he didn’t want to waste words with him, and directly said, “Point the way and lead me there.”
Huo Dongcheng suppressed the shock in his heart, stepped onto the Ancient Sword, and pointed towards another mist-enshrouded peak in Port Arthur, saying, “There.”
With a change of hand signs, the Ancient Sword beneath Huo Dongcheng’s feet suddenly flew off, and the sudden acceleration made Huo Dongcheng fall onto the sword, nearly tumbling off.
He was puzzled—there was only himself on the sword, so where was Li Xiaoyao?
Wasn’t he supposed to be looking for Zhang Meng? Why wasn’t he coming along?
With this question in mind, Huo Dongcheng turned his head and saw a black figure, hands clasped behind his back, simply hovering in the sky, flying without any support beneath his feet.
Huo Dongcheng’s eyeballs nearly popped out; this sight was even more surprising to him than seeing Li Xiaoyao control the sword.
Flying in the sky was a skill of immortals, and to his knowledge, only Cultivators of the Nascent Soul Realm could possibly fly in the air.
On the cruise ship, the three surviving Sect Leaders and the ordinary Cultivators gaped as they watched the departing sword and person, disbelief filling their eyes.
“That… Is that a senior of the Nascent Soul Realm?”
“My god, to be able to fly with sword control, that’s terrifying!”
The Sect Leader of Wu Sect was also shocked, but unlike them, he didn’t lose his reason.
“It shouldn’t be the Nascent Soul Realm; in my opinion, he’s a Mentalist,” the leader of the Wu Sect analyzed. “If he were really a strong cultivator in the Nascent Soul Realm, no one in Zhu Island City would be able to contend with him. Why would he need to cause such a ruckus here?”
“That makes sense,” the other two agreed, as it was extremely rare to see such a young cultivator at the Nascent Soul Realm.
The shock in Lisa’s heart, sitting in front of the piano, was no less than that of others.
Others didn’t understand Li Xiaoyao, but she did.
Who was Li Xiaoyao?
Half a year ago, he was just an ordinary mercenary, frequently running through gunfire and bullet rain.
Yet, in just such a short period, the guy had turned into some sort of miraculous species with immense strength and the ability to fly.
Was this still the Li Xiaoyao she knew?
And what were those people talking about—cultivators, fellow Daoists, Nascent Soul Realm? What were all those things?
…
Zhu Island City was only so large; from Aoli Port to the top of Ping Mountain was a matter of a few tens of thousands of meters.
While they were flying, Li Xiaoyao suddenly felt something was amiss—the sky seemed to have darkened.
As he looked up, Li Xiaoyao couldn’t help but be taken aback. The full moon hanging in the night sky was being slowly eaten away.
What was going on?
“A celestial dog consuming the moon?”
In modern society, both the celestial dog consuming the moon and the sun are phenomena that science can explain.
But what science can’t explain is the instability in Earth’s magnetic field caused by these phenomena.
At this moment, atop the Huo Family villa on Ping Mountain,
a thin old man in homespun, his white hair showing his age, was sitting cross-legged on the large platform at the top of the villa. This platform, paved entirely with stones, was engraved with extremely mysterious and abstruse runes. The patterns formed by these runes and lines clearly made up an ancient formation when viewed from above.
In the center of the formation lay a young woman—it was Zhang Meng.
The instant the full moon began to be eaten away, the old man suddenly raised his head, his turbid eyes bursting with two dazzling beams as if piercing through the clouds.
“The celestial dog consuming the moon, I’ve finally waited for this moment,” the aged voice trembled as he watched the slowly consumed moon, his heart filled with excitement.
Taking a deep breath, the old man’s hands swiftly formed different mudras, each mudra emitting mysterious energy from between his palms, pulling the formation below.
One could see the ancient formation being activated.
“Spirit Devouring Formation, activate!”
With a sudden fix of the mudras, the old man shouted loudly, and an invisible energy passed through the mudras instantly connecting with the moon being consumed.
A beam of moon-white light, like a laser, shot from the consumed moon and directly onto the formation, enveloping it entirely.
Li Xiaoyao, still in the air, saw this scene and was startled. His thoughts burst forth, and he immediately spotted Zhang Meng under the moonlight, her eyes tightly shut, and a pained expression on her face.
“Damn it!” Li Xiaoyao cursed angrily. The gesture of his hand changed, and the Seven Star Ancient Sword, carrying Huo Dongcheng, accelerated to its maximum speed, shooting toward the villa on the mountaintop.
Taken completely off guard, Huo Dongcheng fell straight from the Ancient Sword. Even as a cultivator in the Spirit Cultivation Realm, a fall from such a height could severely injure or even kill him.
