Chapter 292: Feixue's Calculation!
At this moment, let alone Ang Xiao.
Other True Lords all showed expressions of shock, clearly utterly unexpected; only the Zeng Cai Qi Luo True Lord from the Holy Sect remained calm.
Yet how could Qingcheng Feixue True Person give him a chance to explain?
Unmatched mighty force blasted into the Netherworld; the power of the present world shook the cycle of reincarnation at this moment, almost immediately provoking the entire Netherworld's resistance.
"Boom—!"
The next second, Qingcheng Feixue True Person let out a muffled groan; obviously she had suffered the Netherworld's backlash, and the light of her fruit position instantly dimmed.
However, on the other side, Ang Xiao's state was even worse than hers; as the Netherworld ran wild, his qi mechanism plummeted to the bottom at once, and blood flowers suddenly bloomed all over his body. These were not ordinary fresh blood, but the essence of a True Lord's Dharma Body; losing even a little was a tremendous loss.
Yet now, Ang Xiao was bursting with blood all over!
"Hahaha!"
Seeing this scene, Qingcheng Feixue True Person laughed wildly again: "I knew it! I knew you did not control the Netherworld; you were just hiding inside!"
Exploiting the obstacle of knowledge!
The Netherworld does not interfere with the present world; if Ang Xiao truly controlled the Netherworld, he actually should not have the ability to tamper with the Chen Earth in the present world.
Previously telling the Dragon Lord about letting Tian Qiu enter the Netherworld, and telling Lu Yang and Suo Huan about leaving a spot for them in the Netherworld—essentially, all of it was just drawing a big pie, playing on the information gap. After all, even he himself had "smuggled" in and was far from reaching the level of controlling the Netherworld!
And now, the Netherworld has run wild.
Qingcheng Feixue True Person's strike caused the Netherworld to riot, beginning to exterminate "foreign objects" in all directions; Ang Xiao was now clearly identified!
His injuries at this moment were caused by the Netherworld!
"So that's it... I was wondering what was strange; clearly the Long Flowing Water was falling, yet not a single Foundation Establishment True Person cultivating the Long Flowing Water died."
"Was the claimed seclusion just a facade?"
At this moment, even Ang Xiao showed an expression of awe: "But using the Stream Water to disguise the Long Flowing Water... how did you do it?"
"How did I do it? Nonsense!"
Qingcheng Feixue True Person smiled coldly: "What is your cultivation level? A cultivator of the Great Forest Wood; on what basis can your understanding of the Water Element fruit position compare to mine?"
"Water has no form originally; it takes form because of the vessel."
"Stream Water, Long Flowing Water, Great Sea Water, River Heaven Water are essentially just variations of water. If your cultivation is sufficient, disguise is nothing difficult."
"What? Only you are allowed to tamper in secret, but I am not allowed to play?"
"Do you really think you are the Dao Master?"
As the words fell, Ang Xiao could only shake his head helplessly and sigh with a smile: "Heroes under heaven are truly like carp crossing the river... I underestimated you, you shrew."
Qingcheng Feixue True Person spoke as if it were very simple.
But was he, Ang Xiao, someone with eyes but no sight? If she could deceive his eyes, it showed that Qingcheng Feixue True Person's own cultivation was unimaginably high!
"Did you not cultivate a Second Grade True Art?"
"Did you strip the fruit position of a certain Realm Heaven and fill it into the Stream Water?"
Ang Xiao touched his chin with interest: "If not for that, a mere Stream Water; how could your progress be so fast?"
"And how did you know my plan?"
This was also one point that puzzled Ang Xiao; he thought no one could know the move he made on Suo Huan, yet Qingcheng Feixue Lord struck the vital points with every move.
If she had not known in advance that he intended to borrow Suo Huan to seek Gold and pull the Long Flowing Water into the Netherworld, it would be absolutely impossible to calculate so precisely and accurately.
"Want to know? Come over and take a punch from this old lady, and I'll tell you."
Qingcheng Feixue True Person laughed loudly; the Stream Water rose into the sky again, and her graceful figure appeared, except the motion of swinging her fist was quite crude.
This was a trap she had carefully laid.
She had always been vindictive, not a generous person; having been tricked by Ang Xiao into killing Master Chongguang and having her path blocked, how could she just go into seclusion and let it go?
Of course she had to take revenge!
As for Suo Huan's plan, she actually was not clear about it; she laid this trap only because she was convinced that the Long Flowing Water was definitely Ang Xiao's target.
Other True Lords dared not make such a judgment because they were actually not certain of Ang Xiao's true identity, so previously when Ang Xiao pretended to attack the River Heaven Water, they went to stop him. But Qingcheng Feixue True Person was different; from the very beginning she was certain:
This beast is definitely Ang Xiao!
"I knew the Holy Sect could not have any nice guys; if there were any, they would definitely be in disguise!" Qingcheng Feixue True Person made her judgment based on this point.
And she believed it without doubt.
The result was also as she expected; Ang Xiao fiddled around and around, and in the end still chose the Long Flowing Water, falling into the trap she had prepared.
"Come out from the Netherworld!"
"You block my path; I will also make your path hopeless!"
Qingcheng Feixue True Person laughed wildly while striking the Netherworld Gate with all her might; True Lords from other factions naturally would not mind beating a drowning dog.
However, just at this moment.
"What a pity."
Inside the Dragon Palace, the Chongguang Dao Sin that Ang Xiao had refined into a clone suddenly stepped forward; amidst sighing, he took out a thick book of talismans.
The instant this book appeared, a layer of illusion was also lifted along with it.
"The 'Life-Shared Fate-Exchange Talisman Book'!"
This treasure of the fruit position, once taken from the Overturned Fu Fu Fu Deng Huo, was also taken away by Ang Xiao just like the Chongguang Dao Sin and forcibly hidden using the obstacle of knowledge!
The next second, the talisman book was seen flipping open, revealing the characters on it:
"Lu Yang was treated as a disposable pawn by the Holy Sect, trapped in a deadly situation; I will help him reverse the situation and regain a chance for life."
Boom!
Almost simultaneously, Lu Yang, who had been watching the battle, felt a karma fall upon himself; this feeling was a ritual that attracted the attention of a fruit position!
Above the firmament, a fruit position star shone brightly.
Overturned Fu Fu Fu Deng Huo!
"We of the Holy Sect never put all our eggs in one basket; if the Long Flow fails, we use the Extinguished Lamp instead."
Though he said so, Ang Xiao still sighed inwardly.
In truth, according to his plan, the ideal outcome would have been for him to simultaneously trigger the Long Flow and the Extinguished Lamp, drawing both into the Nether Court.
In that case, at worst he could have drawn away one; with good fortune, two—truly a windfall. But after being betrayed by Qingcheng Feixue Zhenjun, he not only suffered severe injuries, but lost all hope of the Long Flow, and even the Extinguished Lamp had been hastily activated, lacking sufficient certainty.
"Fortunately, I still had preparations."
Even now, as the Nether Court repelled him, his dharma body damaged, and under the pressure of dozens of Zhenjun, Ang Xiao's expression remained calm.
"That shrew who directly assaulted the Nether Court was bound to suffer backlash herself."
"But her backlash was far less than mine—partly because I was inside the Nether Court, where the situation was worse, and partly because of the Summoning!"
"I previously laid a trap, making the Summoning sacrifice itself to the Long Flow—but it was instead exploited, sacrificed to that shrew's Brook Water, used as her shield. Part of the Nether Court's backlash was absorbed by the Summoning, landing upon that Spirit Ruin Blessed Land."
"If one wishes to break the deadlock—"
Thinking至此, Ang Xiao finally shifted his gaze downward.
There, amid the battle of the Zhenjun, a lone figure stood, lips trembling, as if sensing something, and likewise looked upward.
The Summoning.
The celestial grand master, who had spent his entire life being manipulated, suddenly smiled: "My lord is going to use me again? What else do I have worth using?"
"Of course you do."
Ang Xiao's tone was calm, his gaze as if viewing an ant: "Your life!"
"Clang! Clang!"
The next instant, a brilliant sword light slashed through the heavens, piercing the Summoning. The Summoning choked on blood, turned his head, and saw the figure he had expected.
Then he let out a bitter laugh: "Brother, we are truly kindred in suffering."
The sword's name—Li Jie Bo!
The slayer of the Summoning: Lu Yang!
