Chapter 455: As Strong as Long Aojiao! Fighting Immortals! Plucking Stars with the Power of the Sun
Chapter 455: As Strong as Long Aojiao! Fighting Immortals! Plucking Stars with the Power of the Sun and Moon (Part 1)
2024-10-21
"Alright then."
Xiao Ling'er reluctantly agreed, "But please, do not take any unnecessary risks. If things get too dangerous, you must leave immediately. Otherwise, if something happens and we can't account for it, we'll be in trouble."
"Why would you need to explain yourselves?"
Ji Chitong smiled.
Then she added, "Never mind, I promise not to put you in a difficult position."
"..."
After that, they immediately took action.
Xiao Ling'er used a secret technique to stimulate Qiu Yongqin, helping him regain consciousness.
She then gave him a large amount of healing pills.
Despite his protests, she forcibly sent him to the temporary Hidden Realm within the reconstructed Guiyuan Sect for treatment.
Meanwhile, her true self went into seclusion in the Alchemy Pavilion.
Although she was in seclusion, she constantly kept an eye on the outside world.
If any crisis arose, she would immediately come out of seclusion ahead of schedule.
She wanted to refine the unknown Celestial Inferno that Huo Zhen had brought back to enhance her combat power, but she couldn't let others risk their lives or even die just to buy her time.
"I think..."
Xiao Ling'er had been in seclusion for less than an incense stick's worth of time when Fan Jianqiang suddenly raised his hand, "We should prepare ourselves."
"Who knows when the next enemy will arrive?"
"The Immortals are too powerful."
"That's why I suggest that no matter how many people come, no matter their strength, we should all fight together and do everything we can to kill them in the shortest time possible!"
"Originally... I thought Immortals were invincible, but now it seems that defeating them is not impossible."
"They must have many restrictions in the Lower World."
"Regardless, since we've proven that they can be injured and killed, we should give it our all. With lightning speed, we should kill as many as we can."
"What do you think, fellow disciples?"
The other disciples all nodded in agreement.
No objections.
Speaking of which...
In the 'original' story, whether it's the protagonist or supporting characters, they all seem to prefer solo battles and acting alone.
But in reality, that's not the case.
They don't actually prefer being lone wolves.
Especially the protagonist template, their growth rate is too fast. In the early stages, their companions can still be helpful, and their strength might even surpass the protagonist.
However, as the protagonist template continues to develop, their growth rate far exceeds others. Gradually, they naturally leave their companions behind, becoming almost untouchable.
By then...
It's not that they prefer to act alone.
It's that there's truly no one left by their side.
Those friends and family simply can't keep up!
Take the Flame Emperor, for example.
Ya Lao was a super big shot in the early stages, but in the middle and later stages...
Need I say more about the later stages?
So, in the end, it's not that they enjoy solo battles or acting alone, or that they dislike 'partying up'.
It's that they have no choice but to act alone, and there's no opportunity to party up!
Oh...
Wait, there is an opportunity to party up.
It's when the protagonist single-handedly takes on an entire party by themselves.
That's what they call 'partying up'.
But this situation is different.
Under Lin Fan's influence, these protagonists and supporting characters gather together, facing powerful opponents, and they all have the ability to help each other...
Not partying up in this situation is against the laws of nature.
It's asking for a thunderbolt from the heavens!
Whether it's Ya Ya or Shi Hao,
Wang Teng and the others had no objections.
"Then it's settled."
Fan Jianqiang heaved a sigh of relief.
In the Grand World, he was the 'boss'.
Although he always kept a low profile and acted incompetently, he was grateful that everyone was willing to give him face, making it much easier to lead the team.
However...
He had clearly overestimated himself.
Or perhaps, he had underestimated Long Ao Jiao's domineering aura.
"What nonsense are you spouting?"
Long Ao Jiao scoffed, "You're going to swarm and surround them, and then launch a surprise attack?"
"Why don't you just ambush them directly?"
Fan Jianqiang's eyes lit up, "Huh? Ao Jiao, you're getting smarter. How did you know I prepared an array and intended to hide everyone, waiting for the strong enemy to arrive before launching a surprise attack together?"
"In that case..."
"Even if an Immortal is right in front of us, we might still have a chance to kill them in one strike."
"Although they'll be on guard after killing one of them, being able to kill one without injury is already a rare feat, and it will significantly weaken their strength."
The more Long Ao Jiao listened, the more she felt something was off.
She was speechless, "O_O ? ? ?"
"You actually planned to lead everyone in a surprise attack?"
"No!"
"Forget about you, you're useless, but these fellow disciples of yours are all Celestial Prodigies, right? Even if it's just Huo Yun'er and Huo Ling'er, they are top-tier Celestial Prodigies."
"They've made a name for themselves in the Central State."
"Jiang Li and Jiang Ni sisters have even more impressive talents."
"I won't mention the others, but these Supreme Prodigies, even I acknowledge their strength."
"And now, with so many people, so many Supreme Prodigies..."
"You want to lead them as your lackeys and launch a surprise attack on a mere one or two Immortals???"
"Do you have any shame?"
"Where's the dignity of Celestial Prodigies?!"
Long Ao Jiao's saliva flew, almost hitting Fan Jianqiang's face.
In her opinion, this was utterly foolish and shameless, a complete loss of face.
As Supreme Prodigies, they should proudly defeat powerful enemies head-on; that's where the real thrill lies!
But now, leading so many Supreme Prodigies, not only are they not fighting solo, but they're even planning to use them as lackeys for a surprise attack...
What kind of nonsense is this?
Even if they win, it's still humiliating, right?
"..."
"I understand your thoughts."
Fan Jianqiang frowned, "I also understand your feelings."
"But I have to take responsibility for the entire sect and everyone."
"In my opinion, face is as fleeting as clouds."
"As long as I can protect the sect and everyone, even if I lose face and have it trampled on by thousands, I don't care."
What's the value of face?
Of course, life is more important!
At this moment, the two contrasting protagonist templates were 'clashing'.
There was no need to mention Long Ao Jiao.
Protagonists like Long Ao Tian never engaged in conspiracies or underhanded tactics.
Their specialty was 'invincibility'!
An unstoppable force, crushing all in their path.
They fought with honor, annihilating all enemies.
Others might scheme against Long Ao Tian, but he would always triumph righteously, crushing any plots with sheer might!
In Long Ao Tian's stories, if the protagonist engaged in scheming, it was a major turn-off for readers.
But the 'Survival Sage' protagonist was different.
The Survival Sage...
When did they ever fight honorably?
If you didn't employ conspiracies and prepare dozens of ways to ambush and trick others, you had no right to call yourself a disciple of the 'Survival Dao'!
To fight alone against a group, or to insist on a solo battle when it should be a team effort...
In the 'Survival Dao' novels, this was a major turn-off!
Even a single instance of such a plot could cause a significant loss of readers.
At this moment...
Long Ao Jiao and the Survival Sage, two protagonists with opposing philosophies, were arguing over this very issue...
It was clear they were at odds.
Fan Jianqiang, however, was not one to easily fall into the trap of an argument. He immediately said, "If our ideas differ, we should part ways and not conspire together."
"But I'm not that stubborn. They're mostly my junior disciples, and you know, who do they listen to?"
Long Ao Jiao was taken aback and frowned. "Does this girl dare to accept this humiliation?"
"Hmph, if it weren't for owing Xiao Ling'er a favor, and if I didn't want to personally slay an immortal, I wouldn't be arguing with you here!"
"Enough!"
"You guys go ahead with your conspiracies."
"I'll fight my own battles!"
"You guys..."
"Hmph!"
"I am invincible, suppressing all enemies under heaven. In this matter, I refuse to associate with you!"
"Just hide and watch how I dominate and slay the immortal!"
Long Ao Jiao, confident in her invincibility, flung her sleeves and left.
She didn't go far, though. She chose a nearby mountain peak close to the Moon Embrace Sect, sat cross-legged on the mountain, and waited silently, exuding an imposing aura.
"This..."
Wang Teng scratched his head.
"What should we do now?"
He pressed the 'square' button.
If he hadn't changed and continued on his old path, he certainly wouldn't have pressed 'square'.
After all, he was the Emperor's chosen one...
Until death, he never believed he could lose.
But in this situation, without considering the 'what ifs', he truly pressed 'square'.
Long Ao Jiao, the perfect fighter, was going solo. This, this, this...
However, from a personal perspective, he naturally agreed with his senior brother.
Facing such a formidable enemy, why not consider a group assault instead of a solo fight? What was he thinking?
This was a life-and-death battle, brother!
You think this is some prodigy grand festival?
Ya Ya, having removed her mask upon her return, couldn't help but whisper, "Aren't you supposed to gang up on Long Ao Tian?"
Fan Jianqiang: "..."
"How could I? Am I that kind of person?"
Xu Fenglai took the conversation, "Wasn't this your original plan?"
"In front of Long Ao Jiao, it's all intentional, just to provoke her into going out as bait?"
Fan Jianqiang glared, "Nonsense!"
"Gibberish!"
"Hu..."
"Anyway, don't talk nonsense!"
"Be careful, or I'll sue you for slander!"
"Sue me for slander!"
He glared and stomped, seeming a bit anxious.
Everyone: "..."
"Oh~~~!"
"Oh? What's with the 'oh'?" Fan Jianqiang rolled his eyes, "Anyway, do as I say, got it?"
Everyone in unison: "Yes."
"Speaking of ambushes, Xu is also quite skilled in that," Xu Fenglai said, winking and nudging.
Fan Jianqiang: "..."
"Enter the formation, conceal your breath, and wait for the enemy's arrival!"
"I've detected someone entering the previous battlefield of Ji Chitong and the others."
"Wait... "
"They're moving towards our direction, towards the Moon Embrace Sect."
"Get ready!"
"..."
Soon, they hid and silently awaited the enemy's arrival.
Xu Fenglai suddenly spoke up, "Look, Long Ao Jiao is sitting on that mountain peak, right?"
"It seems like it's still at the peak of that mountain!"
"I remember that mountain; that's where Jianzi liked to seclude himself. The mountain resembles a sword, and its peak is incredibly sharp."
"You mean..."
"Isn't she just sitting there with her butt on the peak? Doesn't it hurt?"
The crowd: "O_O"
At a time like this, you're still concerned about that?
The crowd was speechless.
...
Long Ao Jiao sat atop the mountain peak.
As for whether her butt hurt or not...
She didn't feel any pain.
In fact, it even felt quite comfortable.
A cultivator's butt wouldn't be so fragile, would it?
Moreover, her inheritance had already surpassed the peak of the Ninth Realm, reaching the 'Ultimate' level, and her combat strength was formidable.
How could she fear a sharp rock piercing her butt? Impossible! Not only did it not hurt, but she closed her eyes and rested, not worrying at all.
However, before long, she suddenly opened her eyes and slowly stood up.
Whoosh! A streak of light tore through the sky, resembling a falling meteor.
Its speed was astonishing, leaving everyone in awe.
"They're finally here."
Long Ao Jiao hooked her lips in a smirk.
Judging by their speed and trajectory, they were about to smash through the Moon Embrace Sect's Defense Array, and the impact would cause a large area to collapse. She immediately took to the skies...
"You dare to be so reckless with this young lady here?"
"Just a bald donkey with an oversized dog's courage."
"Let them see just how powerful I am! A mere immortal? They're only asking for death."
She sneered with disdain.
Then, she soared into the air, and with a flash, she appeared in the path of the 'meteor.'
She clenched her fist and unleashed a powerful strike.
Her speed was incredible, smooth and effortless, all in one go.
"Heavenly Overlord Fist's Ultimate Move!"
"Heavenly Overlord!"
Boom! Long Ao Jiao burst into divine radiance; at this moment, she was even more dazzling and radiant than the sun itself.
She seemed like the only one in the world.
With a single punch, countless divine lights shot forth, as if she were the origin of all. Her dominance was unparalleled, and her strength was unmatched!
It appeared to be just a single punch.
But in reality, countless fist imprints overlapped, layer upon layer, breaking through space and time, even shattering the constraints of heaven and earth, unleashing a power that this world should not have!
"Hmm?!"
The old monk was shocked.
Initially, he hadn't paid much attention to the reckless Long Ao Jiao.
It wasn't because he didn't have detailed information about the Buddhist Sect's demise; it was because she was just a prodigy from the lower realm. No matter how strong she was, she couldn't possibly be his match.
Such audacity to block his path; death was the only outcome.
He didn't even need to take action himself.
Just by rushing forward, he could collide with her and turn her into a bloody mist! But Long Ao Jiao's sudden counterattack caught him off guard, and he sensed something amiss.
"This power..."
"Is this power beyond what cultivators in the Immortal Martial Continent can possess?"
"How could she..."
"Could it be that Huo Zhen, that fool, met his end at her hands?"
As he pondered, he recalled Long Ao Jiao's earlier words.
"You dare to be so reckless with this young lady here?"
"Just a bald donkey with an oversized dog's courage."
The old monk: "..."
Good, good, good! A mere ant from the lower realm, with a bit of strength, thinks she's invincible? She's just a frog in a well!
So what if she has power beyond the Immortal Martial Continent? In front of me, she's still an ant!
"Die!"
"Prajna Palm!"
The old monk unleashed the Buddhist Sect's secret technique.
Divine light radiated from his palm, and countless Buddhist secret patterns flashed, almost instantly covering the sky and blocking out the sun.
With the incredible speed boosting its power, this palm strike was awe-inspiring.
But Long Ao Jiao showed no fear.
Her face exuded arrogance.
To onlookers, it seemed like she was the celestial fairy from the upper realm, while the old monk's expression appeared more like a mortal from the lower realm, gritting his teeth in resistance.
The old monk: "..."
How dare she!
Anger and frustration surged within him.
The combination of rage and annoyance erupted, and he struck with even greater ferocity.
He swore to turn Long Ao Jiao into a meat paste with one palm strike!
Boom!!!
The two collided like comets crashing into the Earth.
A white light flashed, seemingly devouring everything.
In everyone's eyes, only a blinding white remained.
Accompanied by a loud, thunderous roar, the world fell silent, devoid of any sound.
It seemed...
Everyone had gone deaf.
Finally, the white light dissipated.
Boom!
Like thunder, the rumbling continued endlessly.
As far as the eye could see...
The old monk was blocked!
His face was filled with shock, disbelief, and incredulity at the outcome of this collision!
The Prajna Palm had been blocked!
It could even be said to have been 'smashed'!
The Boundless Divine Fist continued its relentless assault! It was just one punch, yet it felt like an endless ocean, with no end in sight. The offense seemed eternal, as if it wouldn't stop until the enemy was annihilated.
"..."
"An immortal?"
"In my eyes, they're no different from a chicken or a dog."
Long Ao Jiao spoke from a close distance.
Her eyes and face clearly conveyed disdain and defiance.
How dare she!
The old monk's mental state was on the verge of shattering.
Damn it! Even in the lower realm, I have to endure being looked at with such eyes and expressions. And she dares to call me a dog?
Who does she think she is?
If there are still people in the lower realm who dare to face me with such an attitude, then my struggles in the upper realm would have been for nothing! She's got some nerve.
She's...
Asking for death!
"Om! Ma! Ni! Ba! Me! Hum!"
The old monk spoke.
He recited the Buddhist Sect's Six Syllable Dharani at close range.
In an instant, the sky was filled with radiant Buddha light, and heavenly sounds of chanting echoed from above. Countless astonishing Buddhist secret patterns flashed, and an awe-inspiring divine might manifested, enlightening and saving the common folk, compelling them to immediately kneel and bow in worship, surrendering to the Buddhist faith!
At the same time...
The pure physical and soul attacks, needless to say, were overwhelming.
