Chapter 314: Chapter 248: Fierce Winds (31)

Looking at the heavily guarded City Lord Mansion in the distance, Lin Xing turned to Tianlian and said, "I need to bring someone to help me."

An hour later, Bai Yiyi followed Lin Xing and arrived in Cangjiang City.

Lin Xing said, "Master Bai, remember to act according to the situation, I will try my hand first to see what the other party is capable of."

Bai Yiyi replied, "Good disciple, with your master supporting you, go ahead without worries."

After saying that, Lin Xing let out a long howl and darted towards the City Lord Mansion. Under the shocked gazes of the crowd, he smashed through the front gate and broke into the mansion.

Almost simultaneously as he entered the mansion, accompanied by a thunderous roar in the air, a huge palm appeared out of nowhere and slapped down on Lin Xing.

With a booming sound like mountains colliding, the green bricks and soil beneath Lin Xing’s feet exploded inch by inch, and he sank downwards, creating a giant pit under his feet.

Just as the giant palm completely covered and suppressed Lin Xing, with a dull ’bang,’ a burst of firelight exploded in the palm. When Lin Xing regained his senses, he was back at the moment before he had entered the City Lord Mansion.

He tried multiple times to break into the mansion, but each time he tried to clash head-on with the giant palm, he was directly crushed.

Lin Xing thought back to his battle with the Xuanyin Taoist, who, from a distance, also manipulated the scenery and summoned storms, thunder, and lightning; finally, he formed clouds and lightning into a giant palm to press down.

Yet, this massive fleshly palm was far more formidable than the Xuanyin Taoist,—incredibly elusive, invulnerable, and containing terrifying power.

"This must be the method of that Third-level cultivator close to Zheng Tu."

"There is a huge chasm between the Second and Third inheritances."

"I can’t collect Zheng Tu’s fortune directly under his guardian’s watch."

As Lin Xing was pondering, Little Lin Xing eagerly said, "How about this? Do you want me to help?"

"You might not be a match for a Third-level cultivator now, but if you create another body for me, I guarantee I’ll help you seize that fat man’s fortune."

Lin Xing didn’t respond but looked at the City Lord Mansion, various ideas popping up in his mind, leading to repeated attempts.

...

Bai Yiyi watched Lin Xing, whose demeanor drastically changed in an instant; from originally being spirited, he suddenly became exhausted, but his eyes grew brighter, filled with confidence like having a well-thought-out plan.

Then Lin Xing placed a hand on Bai Yiyi’s shoulder, "Master Bai, I’m going to need your help now."

Runes symbolizing the Six Secret Immortal Refining began to appear on Bai Yiyi’s body.

Bai Yiyi felt some subtle changes happening to her puppet body.

Some parts became softer under the influence of the soft secret, while others started to get bigger under the influence of the Yang secret...

Her puppet body was temporarily being refined by Lin Xing into a magical instrument.

Realizing this, Bai Yiyi quickly said, "Lin Xing! Make sure to make me look good."

"Maybe make the legs a bit longer."

Lin Xing confidently said, "Don’t worry, Master Bai. This combat form has been tried and modified repeatedly by me. After numerous refinements, it’s the strongest form. Just try to hold off the high-level cultivator for me for a while..."

Moments later, under the shocked gazes of the crowd in front of the City Lord Mansion, they saw a monster, five or six stories tall, roaring as it charged out.

The monster’s body appeared extremely soft, and from afar, it seemed to flow on the ground like a pool of mud.

However, as the monster accelerated forward, its entire body violently transformed and shook, resembling a flood breaking through a dam, with thunderous roars rushing towards the City Lord Mansion.

As Bai Yiyi rolled her body, she shouted, "I’m so dizzy, Lin Xing, hurry up and stop!"

But the voice emanating from the fiercely transforming puppet body had turned into a deafening roar.

Roar!

As the monster charged and roared, everyone in front of the City Lord Mansion screamed and scattered to the sides.

But just as Bai Yiyi was about to crash into the City Lord Mansion, they saw walls of earth violently erupt from the ground, forming layers of barriers in front of Bai Yiyi like a dam.

From the high tower, overlooking the entire city, Zheng Tu finally noticed the commotion at the City Lord Mansion’s gate.

Seeing Bai Yiyi crash into the earthen wall with a thunderous impact, feeling the vibration under his feet, he exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of monster is this?"

As the head of the Zheng family, he had seen much but couldn’t recall such a creature in the world.

At the next moment, the monster roared again.

Bai Yiyi said, "Finally, it stopped."

The surface of the monster flickered with runes, and its dense tentacles abruptly swelled forth.

When those tentacles initially appeared, they were somewhat soft, but in the next moment, they became incredibly hard, resembling giant swords over ten meters long, ripping through the earthen wall before them.

Seeing the monster tear through the earthen wall and about to charge into the City Lord Mansion again, Zheng Tu hurriedly shouted, "Xuanmingzi! Stop that monster!"

Beside Zheng Tu, a Taoist dressed in a black Daoist robe touched his beard; he was the Third-level cultivator who had always guarded beside Zheng Tu.

An image appeared in front of Xuanmingzi, reflecting every blade of grass and tree in a several thousand kilometers radius, with the entire City Lord Mansion vividly displayed before him.

As per Zheng Tu’s command, Xuanmingzi reached towards the image of the City Lord Mansion’s gate.

Keeping his gaze fixed on the gate, Zheng Tu saw a giant palm abruptly appear, grabbing the charging monster and slowly lifting it into the air.

Just when Zheng Tu thought the monster was successfully captured by Xuanmingzi, it suddenly changed again.

Countless runes representing Earth secret flashed within Bai Yiyi, making her body immensely heavy in the next instant.

Xuanmingzi’s expression slightly changed; if lifting Bai Yiyi initially felt like lifting a pig, now it felt like lifting a whole stretch of city wall.

This instant change in weight caused Xuanmingzi to lose his grip.

With a muffled boom, Bai Yiyi broke free from Xuanmingzi’s giant palm and crashed down at the gate.

Following the crash, the ground shattered, and the City Lord Mansion’s gate was thoroughly destroyed.

A flicker of anger flashed in Zheng Tu eyes as he watched, "Xuanmingzi, what are you doing? Stop that monster, don’t let it destroy my newly renovated manor."

Xuanmingzi looked like an honest old farmer, his face etched with deep wrinkles, always standing there with a persistent frown, seldom speaking.

Just like now, he simply listened to Zheng Tu’s commands without arguing or explaining, only reaching out to gently dig, soon causing the earth beneath Bai Yiyi to indent, trapping her in a large pit.

At that moment, a resonating sword sound rang out, and a flying sword shot out, targeting the direction of the high tower.

As Xuanmingzi noticed this sudden assassinating flying sword, his gaze shifted slightly, and he blew a breath towards the image in the air.

Simultaneously, a violent wind swept over the sky above the City Lord Mansion, forming barriers of wind to protect the entire high tower.

However, the flying sword did not truly aim at Zheng Tu’s location but instead whizzed towards the City Lord Mansion’s storeroom.

Seeing this, Zheng Tu exclaimed in alarm, "They’re targeting the storeroom, stop that flying sword!"

Xuanmingzi frowned slightly, flicked his fingertip, and bolts of lightning burst across the sky above the City Lord Mansion, blocking the path of the flying sword.

At the same time, he suggested to Zheng Tu, "Master, these thieves are no ordinary foes; I urge you to take refuge in the secret chamber and leave the rest to me."

For Xuanmingzi, protecting Zheng Tu’s safety was paramount. Having Zheng Tu by his side needing protection and commanding the battle could actually hinder Xuanmingzi’s ability to fight.

Yet Zheng Tu snorted coldly at the suggestion: "This is the Ming Mountain Sect territory, a bunch of skulking rats also want me to hide?"

"Xuanmingzi, capture them all for me."

For Zheng Tu, with Xuanmingzi and other elites protecting him, wearing multiple protective amulets, and the geomantic protection beneath his feet, he did not believe anyone could harm him.

Being humiliated as the head of the Zheng Family was something he could not allow to happen.

Meanwhile, a strange howl erupted from the flying sword, which dodged the intercepting bolts of lightning like it had foreseen them.

Following that, the flying sword slashed through the air, releasing multiple beams of sword light deep toward the storeroom below.

At the same time at the entrance of the City Lord Mansion, Bai Yiyi dragged out her uncoagulated, sticky huge body from the pit.

Feeling the form of her body, she was both shocked and angry inside: "So ugly!"

"But so strong!"

She violently stretched out her right hand, seeing her palm lash out like a mudslide, directly crushing and engulfing a large section of the courtyard wall.

On the other side, Xuanmingzi, seeing both the flying sword and monster launching simultaneous attacks, stretched his left hand above the image.

A giant palm abruptly emerged above the storeroom, blocking each beam of sword light from the flying sword.

Simultaneously with his right hand, he casually said, "Borrowing the sword," and saw the sword on the waist of a martial artist, also standing guard beside Zheng Tu, land in Xuanmingzi’s hand.

Then he gently slashed his sword towards Bai Yiyi in the image.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar filled the sky.

A hundred-meter-long sword, like a Divine Sword from beyond the heavens, fell with force enough to split the entire City Lord Mansion in two, crashing down fiercely onto Bai Yiyi.
