Chapter 343: 0229 An Area of Ten Feet, Invincible With Me in It, Divine Spear Descends from the Heavens (7 updates! Combined 5k words, seeking monthly tickets!)

Human World.

Tonight, it was Mid-Autumn Festival.

The sky was overcast, with the full moon blurred.

Police drones periodically swept across the sky, and Su City seemed peaceful and harmonious, where ordinary people gathered to celebrate reunion, yet many were in foreign lands of the Otherworld.

Pingjiang Police Station.

Lufang, unable to reunite with his daughter, had a solemn expression.

Officers kept coming in to report on the security situation of the night.

"Director Lu, so far there is no trace of sect activities."

"Director Lu, our undercover in the Heart Happiness Sect has been found by the Evil God."

"Director Lu..."

On the mobile phone, a text message from his daughter arrived:

"Dad, when are you coming home?"

On the phone, it was the voice of his teacher, Gong Jiu.

"Lufang, you must protect Su City! Soon, I will be promoted to Great Grandmaster, and then together, master and disciple, we will rectify the cults of Su City and fight those bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods to the end... Only then will we live up to the title the Grandmaster has passed on to me!"

Absolute God Traceless, no god in this world!

Family, country, world affairs, every word entered his ears.

Lufang picked up the phone and replied to his daughter and teacher.

He put down the phone and closed his eyes.

Beside him, Duan Lingyu voiced her worry:

"As of now, the only Great Grandmaster left in Su City is the Cold Mountain Elder... and half of the Grandmasters from the top Martial Arts Universities were transferred inside the Taihu Virtual Realm."

Lufang said calmly:

"It’s not just Su City, nearly half of the Oasis City has been attacked by the Void Tide, it’s premeditated... The Evil Gods from the forbidden areas might have formed an alliance."

Duan Lingyu said:

"The Evil Gods have gone to great lengths to invade the Human World, isn’t it just to devour the Human World and harvest the faith of myriad beings? These guys, actually willing to work together?"

Lufang said:

"Don’t forget the past events when Da Xia faced the invasion from All Nations. Although the Evil Gods repel and fight each other, a union is still possible for the sake of taking down the Human World sooner."

...

Somewhere in Su City.

Four figures stood under the night.

Protector Xu of the Blue Lotus Sect, Lion Roar Protector Dao Long of the Holy Master Sect, Tang Zheng... and one was a svelte and ravishing beauty of a young woman.

Tang Zheng said with a smile:

"Are you the future spokeswoman of the Heart Happiness Sect in Su City?"

The beautiful woman replied:

"That’s correct."

Dao Long’s eyes roamed over this enchanting woman and asked with a smile:

"What name may I address you by?"

The beautiful woman replied:

"Gu Qianqian."

Protector Xu asked:

"May I inquire, Protector Gu, how is the situation inside the Taihu Virtual Realm?"

Protector Gu replied:

"The situation is very favorable. Our lord sent the ’Moonlight Bodhisattva’ to successfully restrain the Principal of Emei, and the broken body of Green Fire lured the Principal of Dragon City away. Now looking across Su City, the only one who can pose a threat to us is the Cold Mountain Elder."

Tang Zheng said:

"Yet we must not underestimate Lufang; this man is a master of both internal and external Martial Arts!"

Protector Gu said:

"Then let’s proceed with the plan, there’s no time to lose, or else Martial Arts powerhouses from other parts of Da Xia will rush to support Su City, and all our previous preparations will be in vain."

Under the cover of dark, the four figures quietly vanished.

Su City was shrouded in endless gloomy clouds.

...

Outside Gusu City, at the Hanshan Temple by midnight, the bell tolls reached the guest boats.

Inside the ancient temple.

The Cold Mountain Elder returned to the place he was familiar with.

Years ago, he had left home for the monastic life at Hanshan Temple.

After achieving the Way, he became a Grandmaster, founded the Pingjiang Martial Arts University, and transformed it from a bottom-ranked university to a first-class institution, second only to the 24-school alliance.

The elder walked slowly up to the Bell Tower.

He sat cross-legged, reciting the Lotus Sutra engraved on the ancient bell.

"I recall past lives, countless eons ago..."

This bell was also an ancient object left by his ancestors.

Ancestors of the Zhang Family had also given birth to Grandmaster powerhouses.

Suddenly, the moonlight over the Hanshan Temple seemed to turn into a blood moon, and within the gloomy clouds, the figure of a creature with a human head and a dog’s body with wings on its back emerged quietly.

The Top Level Great Void King, Blood Heavenly Dog.

The Cold Mountain Elder seemed to ignore him, continuing his recitation.

Speaking fluent Da Xia language, the Blood Heavenly Dog said:

"A thousand years ago, it was right here that I battled your ancestor at the peak, devoured him, and was about to flourish when the bald monks of Gold Mountain Monastery banished me back to the Void Realm.

A thousand years have changed the sea into mulberry fields; now that the supreme beings are reviving, the Human World will finally belong to our kind."

After expressing its emotions, the figure transformed into a streak of blood light.

Heavenly Dog swallows the moon, blood feasts on the Human World for three thousand nights!

Dong!

The bell of the Hanshan Temple sounded as usual, and the Cold Mountain Elder opened his eyes; behind him, a golden-haired sleeping lion had unknowingly awakened.

The lion shone with golden light, its eyes like copper bells.

"Roar!"

As the bell’s chime faded... the roar exploded through heaven and earth, shaking a hundred miles!

Like a thunderclap unleashed, like a deluge bursting forth!

The Blood Heavenly Dog’s expression changed drastically, filled with dread, as if it recalled some painful past. It forcefully stopped its movement, turning into a blood light aiming to flee far away.

"Vajra Lion Roar? No, this is ordinary Martial Arts; it can’t induce such innate terror in me. What relation does the Cold Mountain Elder have with that person from Gold Mountain Monastery a thousand years ago?"

In olden times, there was a Great Grandmaster at Gold Mountain Monastery in Jiangnan.

He understood heavenly patterns as if he were a true Buddha among men. Inspired by Shaolin’s "Vajra Lion Roar," he created the world’s sole Divine Level Sound Wave Martial Arts:

"The Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds!"

Once the Eight Sounds were uttered, pronouncements followed the law.

A single word subdued demons, a phrase vanquished ghosts!

This Martial Arts did not harm humans much but was specialized in vanquishing evil beings.

After the Great Grandmaster passed away, the Ghost Kings and Demon Kings of various strongholds joined forces, razed Gold Mountain Monastery, and destroyed the "Heavenly Dragon Eight Sounds" to end the lineage.

The Blood Heavenly Dog hadn’t anticipated.

This divine skill that terrified it to the core had reappeared.

The Cold Mountain Elder struck the ancient bell and said indifferently:

"Let’s settle the karma from a thousand years ago today."

Eight Sounds, Heavenly Dragon Hammer!

The golden-haired lion shifted and transformed into eight Heavenly Dragons; where the Sound Waves reached, the Heavenly Dragons followed. Propelled by Martial Arts, the speed of the Sound Waves far exceeded that of so-called sound speed.
