Chapter 286: Dragon Sparrow Frozen Cannon and Heavenly Dragon’s Giant Handprint
Translator: Transn Editor: Transn
“Star River Burning Completely!”
“Backflow Galaxy!”
“Full Moon Galaxy!”
The three killing skills of the Silver Moon Sword Technique were used by Junior Leopard in a flash, making the Dragon Sparrow continuously rush back.
Being over 10 feet long and surrounded by the endless sound of wind and thunder, the azure sword light completely covered the Dragon Sparrow inside.
His Blue Sword was a Flying Sword of the Earth Rank and was also a celestial device of the Mysterious Level. As it was mainly made from Heavenly Peach Wood and Primitive Dragon Chimera and was cultivated by Junior Leopard during these years, it could be ranked as Upper Grade, even if it was among the celestial devices of the Mysterious Level. Furthermore, what Junior Leopard used was the Silver Moon Sword Technique that had excellent killing power. And although the Dragon Sparrow was called the divine bird of antiquity times and had a cultivation in the Metaphysical Realm, it constantly flew back owing to his attack.
Having the experience of dealing with the Evil Fire Kylin, Junior Leopard used his most powerful killing skill to attack this Dragon Sparrow at the very beginning. He also gradually grasped a skill that was indispensable to sword practice, which was to attack and kill. If he had a good sword on hand, he could use it to bully others, which was very cool.
“Caw, Caw, Caw!” As the Dragon Sparrow brayed angrily, it flapped its iron wings, creating a great strength that formed into fiercely blowing icy windstorms. But because the storms were being cut by Junior Leopard’s sword, they could not penetrate through the sword light and were all kept away by his Blue Sword Qi and Jade Original Power Gang.
Then, the Jade Original Power Gang that had absorbed the Nine Heaven Thunder Qi gradually began to exert power. It transformed into flashes of lightning and then fiercely rushed toward the Dragon Sparrow.
Although the Dragon Sparrow was protected by the icy Qi, it could not resist such a strike of lightning. Not long after, the Jade Original Power Gang broke through its protective Qi and impacted its body.
“Caw!”
It was ok with the Dragon Sparrow if it was attacked just once or twice, but as it was hit more and more hard by more and more thunderbolt, it could not endure it. Roaring angrily, its endless iron feathers stood still and transformed into a feather arrow, shooting toward Junior Leopard.
“Tit for tat!”
“This stupid animal!” Junior Leopard ridiculed it with a laugh. But he was not worried about this because, although this Dragon Sparrow’s iron feather was powerful, it could not break his Jade Original Power Gang.
As expected, the Jade Original Power Gang Spirit that had transformed into lightning just rolled slightly and then resolved the Dragon Sparrow’s attack successfully. Although it had a fast speed, it seemed like there was nothing in the world faster than lightning.
Realizing that it had failed, the Dragon Sparrow screamed angrily. And then invisible sound waves were emitted from its mouth and rippled all around.
“Such an uncreative guy!” Junior Leopard sneered and said. Rolling his Jade Original Power Gang, he transformed it into a long cyan thunder saber and hacked toward the Dragon Sparrow.
It directly chopped the sound waves into two parts and, without stopping, it hacked directly toward the Dragon Sparrow.
Now the Dragon Sparrow realized that it was in a bad situation. With its wings held back, a blue light suddenly surrounded it and then condensed into a bizarre, icy blue flower.
“Clang!”
The thunder saber collided with the blue flower!
“Hong!”
“Boom!” The bizarre, icy blue flower blew completely up into ice particles. And although it had blown up, the ice particles that it became did not scatter, but just stayed suspended in the air, freezing the entire space. Affected by this, the thunder saber that was transformed from the Jade Original Power Gang Spirit dimmed and its power was greatly reduced by the blue flower. Furthermore, as space was unexpectedly frozen by the ice particles, the saber stopped in mid-air, and although that was just for a flash, it was enough time for the Dragon Sparrow to react.
Freezing the icy saber and ignoring the Blue Sword that Junior Leopard hacked with, the Dragon Sparrow suddenly spread its wings and absorbed the essence of the world within a 100-foot radius.
“Be careful! That is the Dragon Sparrow Frozen Cannon!” Seeing this, Green Spirit could not help reminding Junior Leopard. “Don’t fight back head-on!”
The Dragon Sparrow Frozen Cannon was the Dragon Sparrow’s killing skill. It was used by first absorbing the essence of the world, then transforming it into a boundless cold, and then firing out by focusing on one point.
While reminding Junior Leopard, Green Spirit told him the information about the Dragon Sparrow Frozen Cannon.
Junior Leopard’s look turned cold. Raising his hand, he took back his Blue Sword. And just before the very moment that the deep blue freezing air was about to hit him, he disappeared.
“Three Realms Division!”
The Dragon Sparrow Frozen Cannon definitely could not be fought back head-on because it worked by the Dragon Sparrow transforming all the Spiritual Qi around using its own original energy. It could be said that this attack was carried out by its whole cultivation and the pneuma of the world within a 100-foot radius.
This adult Dragon Sparrow’s cultivation was the same as a Metaphysical Individual Immortal’s. Therefore, how could Junior Leopard withstand this attack with his Level Seven cultivation and a Blue Sword at Level Seven?
He had made it just now probably with the advantage of the Blue Sword and the Silver Moon Sword Technique, but it was done by using proper skills and taking some risks. Although his Blue Sword was a Flying Sword of the Earthly Rank and a celestial device at the Mysterious Level, it was still very stupid for him to fight back the attack of a Metaphysical Individual Immortal head-on. Junior Leopard was not a fool, so he would not do that.
He could use the Three Realms Division, so all he needed to do was hide.
Although the Dragon Sparrow Frozen Cannon was very powerful, it lacked variation. Being powerful and having a speed that resembled lightning, it very likely could not be successfully avoided by others.
But unfortunately, it had met Junior Leopard, who knew the Three Realms Division.
He disappeared at the very moment that it had come near him, and when he appeared again, he had already stopped behind the Dragon Sparrow.
Although the poor Dragon Sparrow sensed that there was something wrong when Junior Leopard disappeared, it would never imagine that he would appear behind it. Carrying out that Dragon Sparrow Frozen Cannon had exhausted almost 80 percent of its pneuma, and therefore, it was already too late when the Dragon Sparrow sensed that there was sharp Sword Qi at its back.
So all it could do was to move away slightly to protect its vital parts.
“Poof!”
“Caw!”
With a muffled sound and a scream of sheer pain, it could be seen that the left wing of the Dragon Sparrow was cut off by Junior Leopard. With blood streaming from the wound, the Dragon Sparrow fell from the sky.
“Eh?!”
Just when Junior Leopard was going to draw his sword once more, a sharp cold gas was moving toward his face. Although it was not as strong as the Dragon Sparrow Frozen Cannon’s attack, it moved too quickly and Junior Leopard was feeling complacent about cutting the Dragon Sparrow’s wing off and was careless, so he did not react until it arrived at his face.
Thinking quickly, he used the Three Realms Division again and successfully avoided this attack. But also because of that, he lost the best opportunity to make the three strange birds stay.
Clawing its brother and father, the strange bird that was hurt by Ji Yeyue soared, flapped fiercely, and then disappeared in the blink of an eye.
“My goodness, so fast?!” Junior Leopard appeared and without having any chance to react, he watched the three birds disappear in front of him and therefore felt depressed.
“Dragon Sparrows have a very fast speed. With just one flap, they can fly for 650 kilometers. Therefore, you can’t catch up to them!” Green Spirit said.
“One flap for 650 kilometers?!” Junior Leopard was very surprised internally but just said, “Well, just let them escape. It’s not a big deal!”
“You also gained a lot. As a Dragon Sparrow’s speed relies totally on its wings and you have chopped one of them off, you can use it to make a celestial device for flying!” Green Spirit reminded him.
“That’s exactly what I’m thinking about!” Junior Leopard’s eyes flickered and, raising his hand, he put the Dragon Sparrow wing that had fallen on the ground into his individual space.
After putting the wing away, he landed on the shore of a pool that resembled jade.
“This pool is so strange!” Junior Leopard said while looking at it. No matter if it was when Ji Yeyue had fought with the two strange birds or when he had fought with the Dragon Sparrow, they all destroyed the surroundings considerably. But this pool was not affected at all, as if it really was made out of jade.
If it really was jade, then that was good. But he saw countless branches and stones and forces emitted from the battle fall into the pool, and none of them disturbed it. Most strange of all, they all disappeared in a very short time, as if they were swallowed by it.
“Kid, just stop looking at it. This is Green Genuine Water. No matter what falls into it, it will be transformed into the purest Green Genuine Water, and the same will happen to you if you fall into it!” Green Spirit said coldly, “I’m afraid that is also the same reason why Ji Yeyue will come here!”
“What can be it used for?”
“In essence, the Green Genuine Water was condensed from the Divine Energy of Azure Clouds and it also absorbed Evil Pure Yin Qi and it’s extremely pure. If it’s used for practice, it will yield twice the result with half the effort, as the Internal Qi you cultivate will not only be very pure but also have the power of the Divine Energy of Azure Clouds that can destroy evil things, which is the nemesis of all the evil and bloody things in the world. Although your Poison Cold Shield is powerful, I guess it won’t threaten Ju Yeyue very much, as her Internal Qi has the Divine Energy of Azure Clouds. And as it’s highly condensed from Spiritual Qi, even if it’s just a drop of it, it will be equal to a Level Nine expert’s cultivation. Now do you think it’s precious?”
“Why don’t we take such a precious treasure? And there is not much of it!” As Junoir Leopard had a thief’s nature, he became very greedy and could not help asking about that after hearing of its benefits.
“Well, you can give it a try to see if you can take it!” Green Spirit sneered and said, “Every drop of Green Genuine Water weighs more than 150,000 kilos, so it can’t be carried at all. I guess if Ji Yeyue comes here, she will not take it either. Instead, she may have some means to dissolve it and then she can use it for practicing. You should know that although it has endless benefits, it’s extremely dangerous, as it can transform everything in the world into the Divine Energy of Azure Clouds. Just take you as an example, if you fall into it, within a very short time, you will transform into a drop of Genuine Water from this pool. No matter if it’s Gang Qi or a celestial device, they will not play a role. Well, only your Golden Flame Mirror will not be absorbed by it, as it has Pure Yang Qi.”
“My goodness!” upon hearing that, Junior Leopard gasped and said. “This is not a precious treasure, but a demon that kills people! Fortunately, I didn’t reach out to take it, or I would have lost half of my life,” Junior Leopard thought.
“So it won’t be of any benefit to me?”
“It will benefit you, but you can’t be greedy. Even in the antiquity times, lots of people died in this Green Genuine Water!”
“If this is Green Genuine Water, what about the one outside? Isn’t that the Spirit Sea? It is also made up of Genuine Water, but there are creatures living within it!”
“That’s because it is Azure Genuine Water, not Green Genuine Water. As there are mixed pneumas in the Azure Genuine Water, it is the best choice to breed creatures. But the Green Genuine Water condenses all the pneumas together and is the carrier of embracing things of the world. Although they have only one word different, they have totally different effects.”
“Well, so is it possible for Azure Genuine Water to transform into Green Genuine Water?”
“That’s impossible. Although they both evolved from the Divine Energy of Azure Clouds, the Azure Genuine Water is just a simple condensation of Green Genuine Spirit Qi, while the Green Genuine Water has absorbed the Evil Pure Yin Qi and therefore a qualitative change has occurred to it. If there is no Pure Yin Qi, there is no Green Genuine Water. This involves the knowledge of evolving and Pure Yang and Pure Yin. Even I don’t understand that matter, let alone you. If in the future you have the chance to meet any real necromancers, you can ask them.”
“I’m afraid I don’t have that chance!” Junior Leopard smiled bitterly. In his opinion, necromancers were the scientists and alchemists of antiquity times, and all of them were extremely powerful people. It was lucky enough for him to meet one Grand Demon from antiquity times, so he did not think that he would have anything to do with those necromancers.
“You really don’t have any method to get the Green Genuine Water?!”
“No. But I can teach you how to dissolve it. Therefore, your Internal Qi can have the power to destroy the evil!”
“Now is not the proper time to do that. We’d better find the three birds first!”
“Hehe, now you want to find them? Aren’t you so brave all of a sudden! You’re just like a hero who wants to rescue a beautiful girl!” Green Spirit sneered and said, “However, it’s still unknown whether they will accept your kindness or not!”
“I’m just trying to do something good!” Junior Leopard smiled and said, “And as for whether they will accept it or not, we can discuss that later!”
“If you want to find them, don’t go aimlessly. They will come back if they find that there are no sounds being made!”
“Well, so we’ll just sit and wait. This reminds me of a joke, which is called ‘wait for windfalls’!”
“No, you’d better prepare to confront them. The best way would be to subdue them all as soon as they appear!”
“Why?”
“The three birds would not appear here without any reason!” Green Spirit said, “Although Green Genuine Water is precious, it is for you human beings. As for the evil beasts like Dragon Sparrows, it’s the same as a poisonous drug, as they don’t know how to dissolve it. Therefore, if it’s not for some specific reason, they will only come here to look for unpleasantness!”
“So what did they come for?”
“Hmm, obviously for treasures. Those so-called treasures of heaven and earth are sure to be protected by supernatural animals. So I think the three birds were here to protect a treasure of heaven and earth. They were waiting for it to show up.”
“Are you sure?!” Junior Leopard did not believe him. He did not think that such a dump would have a treasure of heaven and earth.
In this place that was said to have more Spiritual Qi than the antiquity times, Junior Leopard was very disappointed and internally cursed all the nice stories about the antiquity times. Now Green Spirit should say that there was a treasure of heaven and earth, and obviously, he would not easily believe it.
“Sure kid, if you don’t believe it, just wait and see. Only if…?!”
Before he had finished his words, Junior Leopard disappeared because he heard people talking, and definitely, they were not Ji Yeyue and others.
“Quite lively!”
Using the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill, Junior Leopard hid in the dark and suddenly became serious.
There were three people flying toward the Green Pool, and all of them had cultivations at Level Nine.
“When did so many powerful experts appear in the world?” Seeing them, Junior Leopard became perturbed.
One of the three people was a tall, strong middle-aged man, about 47 or 48 years old. His look was serious and his salt-and-pepper beard pointed like a steel needle. His eyes flickered with a mysterious black light and did not hide his ferocity at all.
Another one was a baldheaded monk, with his back revealed. From Junior Leopard’s perspective, he was just a Lama, with fine features, red cheeks, and a sunny smile. The last one was in green and about 50 years old. He wore a four-foot-long sword, with his hand on the hilt. He was just like a sword hidden in a sheath, waiting to come out and destroy all around.
The three people came from three directions to the shore of the pool, forming a triangle.
“Hahahahaha, what a small world! I never thought that I could meet you here!” The brute laughed after seeing them clearly and said, “It seems like we won’t be bored today!”
“Amitabha. Very good indeed. It’s lucky for me to meet you!” Putting his two hands together, that handsome monk looked very happy.
“Happy Monk, don’t pretend to be friendly. We have the same goal today. It seems that the three of us have to fight to decide who the owner of the treasure will be!”
“Benefactor Xia, what you said is correct, but I’m afraid there are not just the three of us here!” The monk’s eyes wandered over the mess around as he smiled and spoke.
“What an astute monk!” Junior Leopard said internally.
“That is not astute. Any person seeing this messy place would know that someone had come here!” Green Spirit sneered and said.
“No matter who he is, he’s nothing more than a clown. We don’t need to mind it!” the tall and strong man just glanced around and said disdainfully. By his cultivation and the signs that remained, he could feel the level of the battle that had happened here and did not feel anything that could threaten him.
“I think we’d better be careful, lest there is someone coming to gain benefit after we all get hurt fighting!” the middle-aged man who wore the sword sneered and said. He raised his fingers, and then endless sharp Sword Qi scattered around.
“Sword Net!”
Once he attacked, he should attack indiscriminately. Although Junior Leopard had the Snake-like Breath Holding Skill to protect him from being discovered by them, it could not prevent him from being hurt by the Sword Qi.
“F**k, son of a b**ch!” Junior Leopard cursed deeply. Swiftly flying from where he had been hiding, he landed in the forest.
“You want to escape? It’s not that easy!” With a smile, the monk made a grasping motion in the direction of Junior Leopard.
“Western Guiding Stunt!”
All of sudden, Junior Leopard felt that his surrounding space was completely locked by a great power. The invisible strength behind him pulled him back and he could not resist it at all.
“Fuck!” Junior Leopard cursed deeply. He performed the Jade Original Power Gang Qi and transformed it into a giant thunderbolt saber light, and fiercely chopped toward the monk.
“Eh?!” The monk did not think that his opponent still had any remaining power to resist him while being covered by his Western Guiding Stunt, or in such a fierce way. “This over ten-foot-long thunderbolt saber light is more than I can resist head-on. Even if I could make it, I would not do that at this point. After all, this guy is just a small problem. My real problem is the two Ninth Level experts standing beside me,” the monk thought.
Therefore, he chose to dodge. Moving like the wind, he successfully dodged the thunder saber that was transformed from Junior Leopard’s Jade Original Power Gang Qi.
Although he dodged it, the power of the Western Guiding Stunt did not disappear but, on the contrary, was intensified. Meanwhile, Junior Leopard doubled his flying speed toward the monk, which obviously was because he became angry. He had decided to teach the guy who made him lose face a great lesson.
Of course, Junior Leopard was not a man waiting for his doom. The Jade Original Power Gang Qi was just a reaction he had done in an urgent situation. What he wanted was just a pause from his opponent in a flash, and he got it.
Although the suction of the Western Guiding Stunt was much stronger than before, the monk’s pause gave Junior Leopard a chance to take his Blue Sword out. Most importantly, his Blue Sword would fly faster in such a strong suction.
The green Sword Qi was sent out and it chopped back along the path of the Western Guiding Stunt.
With an explosive sound, the sword light filled the path of the strength of the Western Guiding Stunt in a flash and formed a thick green passageway.
“Silver Moon Sword Technique, Full Moon Galaxy!”
The killing skill of the Silver Moon Sword Technique was not that easy to deal with. With the faint sound of an explosion, the green Sword Qi completely broke the path of the strength of the Western Guiding Stunt.
“Boom!” With a strange sound, the green Sword Qi scattered. Carrying a bit of lightning, it shot straight out toward the Happy Monk.
The Happy Monk did not think that he would meet such a “monster” here. Seeing the Sword Qi shooting toward him, he groaned and fiercely spread his red frock, which transformed into a red cloud and covered his whole body to protect him.
“Puff, Puff, Puff, Puff!” The sword lights hitting on the red cloud were all kept away.
“Boy, you are courting death!”
Although the monk resisted Junior Leopard’s sword light, he completely lost his face, so of course, he would not let Junior Leopard be happy. After resisting his sword light, the red cloud separated and a giant handprint flew out from it. With sacred songs and a Buddhist halo surrounding it, it pressed directly toward Junior Leopard.
“Heavenly Dragon’s Giant Handprint? The Happy Monk is really getting crazy because of feeling shame and anger!”
Observing the situation, the tall, strong man could not keep from laughing, and the man with the sword looked very serious and grave.
“He is a sword practitioner?! His Flying Sword is at least at the Mysterious Level. When did such a sword practitioner appear in this world?!”
