Chapter 645: A Colossal Hand
Translator: StackThatCoin Editor: Hitesh_
On the blood-red cloud, Patriarch Jiang Yun and the others could only see a beam of red light shoot into the sky and then disperse; it was followed by the giant python, who had been Wu Qi, crashing down while Princess Zhang Le, Ao Buzun, and Little Que'er all came plunging down to the ground at the same time . Before long, they saw the blood lake begin to boil, and soon, an altar made of bones emerged from under the surface . On top of the altar sat Patriarch Yuan Hua, and behind him fluttered a ragged flag; the pungent smell of blood that came out of it made them nearly faint .
Patriarch Yuan Hua was sitting on the altar with a blank expression, his eyes gray and dull . Clearly, his consciousness had gone into the Void of the Fiend's Thought . Therefore, he did not show any reaction to the outside world .
Bai Wu was gravely frightened . She had thought they were safe when she saw how Patriarch Yuan Hua was forced to hide deep under the lake from Wu Qi and Princess Zhang Le's brutal attacks . But in the end, Patriarch Yuan Hua's fiend technique was so savage that Wu Qi and the others were pinned down with just a beam of blood-red light . At the thought of the miserable situation she would be facing later on, Bai Wu could not help but throw her head back and let out a furious and despairing howl . A plume of white smoke sprayed out of her body as dozens of shuttle-shaped fire-thunder flew whistling out, all goingfor Patriarch Yuan Hua's body .
Suddenly, the ragged flag fluttered a little, and a sheet of blood-red light radiated out of Patriarch Yuan Hua's body . The fire-thunder could only circle around his body before being repelled and sent into the distance . Deep rumbling of thunderclaps could be heard coming from where they went as they smashed into something, causing the dark clouds in the distance to rock with some streaks of white light, darting and flashing brightly .
With the flag protecting him, there was no way Bai Wu could have hurt Patriarch Yuan Hua . Patriarch Jiang Yun shouted at her, asking her to quickly release them from the restrictive spells and free them from the pillars . There were twenty-odd immortals from White Cloud Immortal Sect and Tranquil Vimalā Sect being held here, all at the Heaven Immortal realm . If they could join forces, there would still be hopes in killing Patriarch Yuan Hua .
After all, Patriarch Yuan Hua was only protected by a ragged flag . Even if the flag was some really powerful immortal item, it looked as though it had lost most of its former glory . It would be absurdly unreasonable should the joint forces of over twenty Heaven Immortals fail to destroy an already seriously damaged immortal item .
Bai Wu rushed to Patriarch Jiang Yun in a flurry, her hands performing all kinds of incantation gestures as she sent every single spell she knew that could dispel restrictive spells into the pillars . Unfortunately, as everything she knew was learned from Patriarch Jiang Yun, and since they did not cultivate some extraordinary cultivation technique, she only knew a handful of them . As a result, she could not cause any harm to the bizarre restrictive spells which Patriarch Yuan Hua had inherited from some ancient fiend celestial .
After depleting her energy, all she could produce were some bright sparks . Dejected, she sat back down on the blood-red cloud . Patriarch Jiang Yun threw his head back and heaved a despairing sigh, two streams of blood tears trickling down his face . Clenching his teeth, he looked at Bai Wu and cried out in a deep voice, "Leave now, Bai Wu! If you ever get a chance to become a Gold Immortal in the future, come and avenge us . If you don't get that chance, you . . . just find yourself a peaceful place and spend the rest of your life there!"
Bai Wu did not respond to Patriarch Jiang Yun's words, as if her soul had already left her body . No matter how Patriarch Jiang Yun tried to convince her, she just stared at him blankly with blood tears running down her face .
Patriarch Jiang Yun hesitated when he saw her behaving like that . With trembling lips, he suddenly shouted at the top of his voice, "Oh heavens! I've never done things that were against reason and nature . Why have you put me in such a perilous situation? Why, heaven? Can you please open your eyes and look at us?"
While Patriarch Jiang Yun was crying bitterly, the three old Daoists, Qing Xin, Qing Shen, and Qing Yi, were stuffed with grievances as well . Although they felt like weeping, they were unable to do so . All they could do was stare at the rolling dark clouds in the sky, enduring the grievances by themselves .
Just like Patriarch Jiang Yun, the three of them had never done things that were against reason and nature . They had been dwelling in Minor Heavenly Circle Realm for all their lives, committing no crimes and just cultivating in peace . They just took in a few disciples and established the Tranquil Vimalā Sect . What made them deserve such a calamity? No long ago, they were still cultivating in seclusion on Myriad Immortals Planet, but how come they had suddenly become someone else's captives?
All of a sudden, Bai Wu rose to her feet, gritted her teeth, and said to Patriarch Jiang Yun, "I may have a way to kill this old scumbag!"
A clang of metal rang out as a sword beam shot out of her forehead . It was an inch-long short sword shaped like a leaf and emitting a faint white light, moving agilely like a fish . When they saw the sword, Patriarch Jiang Yun and Qing Xia's faces fell instantly while the three old Daoists turned pale . They realized what Bai Wu was going to do .
Laughing strangely, Bai Wu stared at Patriarch Jiang Yun and said, "If death is inevitable, we'll die together . I'll never leave this place without my husband and my sister!"
With a sway of her body, Bai Wu transformed herself into a clump of white smoke and enveloped the short sword . A dazzling white light erupted from the sword as it began to absorb the smoke that had been Bai Wu . She was about to launch a desperate attack by disintegrating her immortal soul and immortal body, fusing all her immortal energy with her Prime Sword . It was a technique Patriarch Jiang Yun found in some ancient cave abode when he was roaming the world during young age . Not only Bai Wu, all those present, including the three old Daoists, had learned it .
