Chapter 698: 693, Long Yue Rapidly Defeated At some point, Long Yue was holding a pink umbrella in his hand.
The surface of the umbrella was closed, held protectively in front of him.
Apart from its beautiful appearance, the unique thing about this umbrella was the way Long Yue held it.
Generally, people hold an umbrella by the handle, but Long Yue held it by grabbing the umbrella’s surface with his left hand and the ribs with his right hand, more like holding a sword.
"Fei Yue—" upon seeing this umbrella, He Nian couldn’t help but utter these two words, a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes.
The intention to act instantly halted.
Indeed, He Nian recognized this umbrella.
And the deterrent effect of this umbrella was not small.
In He Nian’s heart, his regard for Long Yue instantly surged to new heights, "I didn’t expect it to be bought by the Long family."
A year ago, an Earth Unrestricted expert passed away, and her personal killing artifact, "Fei Yue", also fell into other people’s hands, eventually landing in the hands of auction merchants.
The competition for this umbrella was fierce at that time, and even the He Mansion participated, but they returned empty-handed.
As a weapon of an Earth Unrestricted expert, it was at least crafted by a Four-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan. Fei Yue was naturally the same. Weapons crafted by a Vortex Divine Artisan can communicate with the Meridian Gate and Vortex Map, bringing an unparalleled power boost. The more powerful the Vortex Divine Artisan, the more evident the weapon.
The exact amplification amount is uncertain, entirely depending on the user’s proficiency. But at least it could narrow the power gap between Long Yue and him. Having an augmentation of only the Three-Vortex Vortex Map, it was already difficult to compare to Long Yue, who possessed the Three-Vortex Vortex Map and Fei Yue.
"Truly the main branch of the Long family, they are willing to let an Earth Unrestricted weapon be used by a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted," He Nian said sourly.
Long Yue took the opportunity to mock, "You’ve already changed your surname to He, why not lick some more? Maybe you can lick a Fei Yue out too."
He Nian’s brow twitched violently; he hated when people mentioned his change of surname!
Those who said this before had already been killed by him.
"Courting death!"
With a shout of anger, He Nian directly clenched his fist and punched towards Long Yue. During the charge, a layer of yellow-black substance attached to his fist in an instant. It was like a protective shell, armoring He Nian’s hand, looking even tougher.
Long Yue directly welcomed the challenge with Fei Yue, pulling out the sword from within the umbrella with his right hand as a white light shot out along with Sword Qi.
Umbrella Sword!
A streak of white light slashed by, the sharp Sword Intent slashing towards He Nian’s fist with the sword edge. He Nian didn’t dodge but confronted it with both fists directly.
Boom!
Punch and sword clashed.
A loud bang echoed, the shockwave from the battle directly cracking the beam and columns of the top floor of the Sea of Clouds Building, and the first floor was in utter chaos.
The maids and servants fleeing from the backyard turned their heads at the sound, seeing the windows shattered and the walls broken with fierce wind, their faces turned pale, and they hastened their escape. The joy they felt when they learned they could work at the Sea of Clouds Building matched their speed as they fled today.
At the same time, a figure flew out of the Sea of Clouds Building.
But he was not escaping.
He was sent flying by a strike from Fei Yue.
Blinded by a fit of anger from Long Yue’s words, He Nian underestimated the power of Fei Yue, foolishly attempting to rely on his Spirit Body’s strength to approach Long Yue.
After being sent flying a hundred feet with a single strike, amidst the startled cries of the surrounding people in the dark, He Nian crawled up from the debris. As he got up, he spat out dust and dirt from his mouth.
That strike completely emptied the anger in He Nian’s heart.
Why did he get so angry when it wasn’t the first or second time he heard those words?
Suddenly, a tricolor startled glance flashed across the night.
Gold, pink, and white.
The tricolor startled glance shot out from the Sea of Clouds Building, heading straight for the just-ascended He Nian.
Bam—
The sound of Vibrating Vein Sound echoed.
"Umbrella Dance!" Long Yue said softly with her red lips.
Fei Yue reformed into a complete umbrella, and Long Yue flung it out. The umbrella opened up, spinning as it flew towards He Nian. With each spin of Fei Yue, an invisible pulling force began to form, pulling everything within a range of twenty to thirty meters and then smashing them to bits as they passed under Fei Yue.
Seeing this, He Nian hurriedly released a Vein Technique.
Bam—
With the sound of Vibrating Vein Sound, a stone wall surged from the ground in front of He Nian.
The next moment, Fei Yue crashed directly into the stone wall, tearing it easily. When Fei Yue flew back to Long Yue’s hand, He Nian had vanished.
"Die!"
Suddenly, a voice cursing came from behind.
Long Yue was startled and hurriedly tried to evade. Yet just as she moved, the ground beneath her suddenly softened, like stepping into a quagmire.
Just as Long Yue was about to leap, the soft earth beneath her feet erupted, releasing a torrent of mud that instantly engulfed Long Yue. The mud seeped into every nook, invading Long Yue’s mouth and nostrils, and the hand that held Fei Yue couldn’t rise.
Moreover, the mud carried a colossal impact force, not only impacting the Spirit Body and swiftly depleting its power but also controlling one’s movements.
Moving was very difficult!
