Chapter 2084 - 765: Power of the Original Source, One Against Three
In Shi Ju’s hand, the folding fan opened and closed intermittently, strands of golden flames emanating, ready to strike at any moment.
High in the Nine Heavens, the White Eagle let out a continuous screech, glaring intently at Luo Chen.
It still remembered that this person had absorbed a large amount of Spirit Mechanism and had severely wounded its body with a single sword strike.
Behind, the forces of the Ancient Plains and Lin Bufan watched the scene quietly, as if they were merely bystanders.
Yet, judging from the restlessness of their respective Protectors, it was clear they would not stand idly by.
"This time, he’s in the open, without the opportunity to secretly accumulate power for that sword. Can he withstand the attacks of Shi Ju and the three others?"
"He’s in the midst of a Sudden Enlightenment, with no strength to retaliate!"
This conversation came from the mouths of Gu Lin and another.
The mountain peak.
Luo Chen’s eyelids twitched slightly, as though he was about to awaken, but ultimately did not awaken.
The remaining Soul Splitting sighed softly, having already summoned the Yuan Tu Sword.
"It’s a pity the Nascent Soul is burdened with the Main Soul and unable to move, my Qi Power is extremely limited, and I can’t buy much time."
"Let’s do our best; at worst, we’ll shatter this Nascent Soul Level Soul Splitting!"
Just as Luo Chen’s Soul Splitting was prepared to risk everything, a figure unknowingly appeared in front of him.
It’s her!
With unrivaled beauty, a curvaceous figure, and a face much slimmer than before, filled with complex emotions.
"This time, it’s my turn to protect you."
Fu Qinglan murmured softly, and from her delicate lips, a fresh green leaf floated out gently.
As the leaf emerged, a large amount of Qi Power poured into it.
In an instant, the leaf swelled enormously, like a canopy, shielding everyone in front.
Blade light and staff shadows fell simultaneously.
No sound was emitted, the leaf as resilient as ever.
Fu Qinglan furrowed her brows slightly.
Suppressing the discomfort within, she moved with graceful steps, obstructing the view of others toward Luo Chen.
"Everyone, why not give Qinglan some face and leave on your own?"
Wang Yifu was the first to disagree!
In his hand, the bamboo staff was poised to attack again.
Shi Ju flew to the front of him, eyes narrowed as he looked at Fu Qinglan.
No longer at the initial entry to the Nascent Soul realm, but genuinely at the First Layer of Nascent Soul, with a full breath, vibrant with life.
Especially with how easily she had just blocked the techniques of two Nascent Soul True Masters...
"Did you succeed?"
Facing Shi Ju’s aggressive gaze, Fu Qinglan glanced back at the white-robed man sitting on the mountain peak.
"Yes, I succeeded."
As these words were spoken, everyone changed color collectively.
Lin Bufan wore a wry smile, not expecting that among him, Yu Xu, and Fu Qinglan, the first to comprehend the Law’s True Intent was not himself, with his keen Spiritual Sense, nor Yu Xu, with her powerful family background, but Fu Qinglan, who had forced an early breakthrough to the Nascent Soul Stage for a competition and had an unstable foundation!
Lin Jingfang clenched his fists, the disparity between them was not in Xiao Fan and Fu Qinglan themselves, but merely in the gap between their Protectors.
It was his inefficiency in handling matters!
Gu Chen and Gu Lin exchanged a glance, then slowly nodded.
"The Fu Family will rise again because of this woman. If she achieves the God Transformation Realm in the future, perhaps Tianyuan will see the rise of another Giant House! Upon returning, we must align ourselves with the Fu Family."
Facing Fu Qinglan directly, Shi Ju was momentarily silent.
But soon, he laughed aloud.
"Even if you’ve comprehended the Law’s True Intent, so what? It’s merely the most basic Origin Power, at most it strengthens your Qi Power slightly."
"In the end, you’re still just at the First Layer of Nascent Soul!"
"You can’t protect him!"
As he spoke, the folding fan in his hand fully opened.
He quickly exchanged transmissions with Qi Wang and another.
"She’s only recently reached the Nascent Soul Stage and hasn’t mastered many Nascent Soul methods. Plus, her Qi Power is feeble, she can’t hold you off for long, attack with full force!"
Qi Wang and the other moved from their initial fear to a state of calm.
A Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator who understands the Law’s True Intent is formidable.
But in actual combat fights, it ultimately depends on one’s methods and corresponding realms.
Fu Qinglan’s techniques are lacking, her realm not high, even though the Origin of Wood can enhance her Qi Power, it cannot withstand excessive consumption.
Attack with all your might!
The next moment, the two struck simultaneously.
The black blade light transformed into a hundred zhang, and the green bamboo staff created a sky filled with bamboo shadows, attacking Fu Qinglan together.
The azure green leaf reappeared.
Its leaf veins fine, like human blood vessels and meridians, stretching and drawing in a large amount of Heaven and Earth Qi.
This magic item was crafted from the Ten-thousand-year-old Fosang Leaf by the Fu Family and underwent the baptism of the Power of the Heavenly Thunder when Fu Qinglan broke through to the Nascent Soul Stage, achieving the Order of True Devices.
She named it Sky-covering Leaf, signifying a leaf to cover the sky.
It’s also her most practiced technique after achieving the Nascent Soul Stage.
As the Sky-covering Leaf emerged, just like before, it blocked the duo’s full-force attack.
But the next moment, a surge of scorching flames swept upward!
Shi Ju broke through the leaf, holding the folding fan horizontally, his expression ferocious.
"I told you, you can’t protect him!"
Fu Qinglan bit down on her silver teeth, summoning back the Sky-covering Leaf.
Yet unlike before, instead of standing in front, she shook her wrist, letting the leaf descend from above, completely encasing the mountain peak where Luo Chen was.
Swoosh!
A longsword, as clear as Autumn Water, landed in her delicate jade-like hand.
"He protected me for fifty years; it’s only right I protect him for a time!"
Looking at that sword, Shi Ju raised an eyebrow.
"Are you going to draw your sword against me?"
"Senior Sister Qinglan, have you thought about the consequences of opposing me?"
"You have merely gained the Law’s True Intent, yet to form a Primordial Spirit, much less a Divine Transformation Great Power, and the Fu Family is merely a lower-ranked family among the Thirty-Six Noble Clans. Whereas my Shi Family is one of the Twelve Great Houses!"
Listening to these words, Fu Qinglan’s face showed a conflicted expression.
