Chapter 434: Chapter 210: Bright Moon, Long Bridge, Canal_2

Aunt Xue knew something was amiss and was about to take action when suddenly another patron at a different table, who had seemed to be sitting on a stool, exerted force through his legs, moved swiftly underneath the table, and like a ghost, circled around the noodle stall incredibly fast!

The way he walked was most peculiar; with one leg half-squatting and the other half-kneeling, he moved across the ground, his movement resembling that of a duck’s walk yet was extremely rapid and nimble. Aunt Xue’s vision blurred for a moment as the person circled around their table!

Despite the looming threat, Aunt Xue kept her composure and sensing the incoming murderous intent, she promptly flipped her hand in front to block, gathering her cultivation!

"Chi!"

Her palm stung; a chopstick had pierced through it, narrowly missing her forehead!

The tremendous force behind it sent her body crashing backwards, still maintaining her seated posture, she smashed through the railing of the Awakening Lion Bridge and fell slantingly toward the surface of the water!

The very instant she left the bridge, her legs stretched out and by the time she was fully extended, she was already upon the water’s surface.

The great power from that chopstick pressed against her body, causing her to slide backwards along the canal’s surface; the water split with a whoosh as white waves sprang up to her sides, spraying into the air.

Her expression darkened; just from the force transmitted by the chopstick, she knew that Man Ling, Chuchu, and the other two were already dead.

For their cultivation was only at the Golden Core Realm, and even someone like her, who had achieved Complete Nascent Soul Realm, couldn’t fend off that chopstick, having it penetrate her palm and nearly her head—the other three stood no chance!

As she slid backward, she had already executed the Seven Transformations Heavenly Dance Technique.

Behind her head, the image of Divine Shrine’s Divine Embryo appeared, the Nascent Soul danced atop the Divine Embryo’s palm, while surrounding Divine Powers surged, revealing seven Heavenly Girls dressed in nine colors, wings on their backs, and floating ribbons. They danced gracefully, their movements enchanting and agile, far from any earthly beauty, as though fairies had descended from the heavens.

Yet even the soaring ribbons contained immense power.

The ribbons danced while the waves surged, with the water level rising and falling, sometimes so high the riverbed was exposed!

She did not know why the Lu Ban Sect would ambush her here, but since they had attacked, she was committed to a full-fledged battle without questioning the cause and effect!

At the same time that she activated the Seven Transformations Heavenly Dance Technique, the conical hat-wearing patron also howled down from the bridge’s surface, sprinting across the water with extraordinary speed.

The patron activated his cultivation technique, and a Golden Core like a bright moon rose slowly from the surface of the river, illuminating both banks.

A shiver of recognition went through Aunt Xue’s heart.

The Golden Core moon hung above the bridge’s head.

Seven Heavenly Girls flew out from within the moon, approaching mid-air with their sleeves drifting like fairies descending from heaven, every move suggesting the intention to ascend again!

The Seven Transformations Heavenly Dance Technique!

Her mind was shaking with disturbance, somewhat panicked, the conical hat-wearing patron opposite was also using the Seven Transformations Heavenly Dance Technique!

This technique was clearly passed to her by the young master!

She, being a matchmaker, had matched a friend of the young master from the Western Capital with a noblewoman, and their union brought great merit to the young master.

Impressed by her, the young master then passed this technique to her.

The Seven Transformations Heavenly Dance Technique had the effect of one god dividing itself, and when cultivated to the extreme, the Qi-Blood would overflow, merging with the consciousness to create the visage of seven Heavenly Girls outside the body, forming the Heavenly Dance Formation, adept at triumphing over the strong with the weak!

When the young master passed this technique to her, he said that although it wasn’t complete, it was still a rare Mysterious Skill in the world, scarcely weaker than the inherited ultimate techniques of the Thirteen Families.

Furthermore, the young master attempted to complete this technique, and though it was not as potent as the true Heavenly Dance Technique, there was no other Heavenly Dance Technique in the world, and what she received was the authentic teaching!

Now, Aunt Xue was thrown into turmoil upon seeing the other party deploy the Heavenly Dance Technique, her own Heavenly Dance Technique obviously inferior to her opponent’s!

Her Heavenly Girls, formed from her Qi-Blood, seemed like courtesans picked from Rouge Lane, while the opponent’s Heavenly Girls were indeed fairies descended from above!

In the blink of an eye, the two collided head-on.

On the river’s surface, under the moonlight, with fairy aura wafting, the fairies formed their array, the myriad colors of their garments dazzling to look at, and their ribbons weaving through - despite being in a formation of slaughter, it was all strikingly beautiful. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The canal rose and fell with the Heavenly Dance Technique.

When the water rose, the river level would rise more than ten zhang above the riverbed, which, if compressed, could crush nearby houses and flood them!

When the water fell, it exposed a stretch of riverbed several tens of zhang long, revealing sunken ships and some helpless fish flopping about on the riverbed.

One could imagine how formidable their Spells were!

But this clash came quickly and was over just as fast!

Aunt Xue noticed that although her opponent’s cultivation was extremely powerful and his techniques far more refined than her own, his Mana was no match for hers. She was ready to take advantage of her stronger Mana and unleash her Nascent Soul to slay the opponent when suddenly, she saw the seven Heavenly Girls on the other side merge into one and, with a soaring gesture, aimed a direct stab at her forehead!

She stimulated her Nascent Soul, charging to meet the attack.

The Heavenly Girl was shattered by her Nascent Soul, and Aunt Xue was elated, "Even if your skills are more intricate than mine, what can you do if your cultivation is inferior?"

However, at the very instant the Heavenly Girl dissipated, what her Nascent Soul met was the palm of the conical-hat-wearing patron.

The patron’s right hand posed with the middle and ring fingers pinching the first joint of the thumb, with the little finger and index finger standing erect - a gesture reminiscent of the Beiji Emperor descending to the mortal world, invoking all the Yang Thunder of this realm to hide within his palm!

Aunt Xue’s Nascent Soul, about a foot tall, collided head-on with the Five Thunders Skill.

At that seal, the five types of Yang Thunder exploded all at once - Heaven, Earth, Water, Dragon, and Societal Command, uniting their thunderous roars into one booming chorus!
