Chapter 242: 240. The Clash Between Anomalous Profound (2/4) Cangwu City.
Boom!
Huan Cheng sat in the study of the City Lord’s Mansion, holding a scroll, and suddenly felt the beams shake violently along with the windows, as a huge roar echoed throughout Cangwu City.
Hearing this roar, Huan Cheng’s heart tightened instantly.
This was a feeling he hadn’t experienced even when facing the Red-eyed Giant Ape.
Just as he planned to go out and see, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and Murong Xi stepped in without knocking, "City Lord, a giant Wing Race Great Demon over 30 zhang appeared over Yunlan Mountain, we..."
Huan Cheng shook his head at the mention of Yunlan Mountain.
He thought it was a big deal.
Turns out it’s another matter related to the Immortal Sect.
"Again!"
Over 30 zhang, what kind of Giant Demon? He wasn’t sure, but he knew a Lower Profound Realm Wing Race Demon was at most seven or eight zhang in width, except for certain races that are naturally larger. This 30 zhang Great Demon, and one roar made the whole Cangwu City tremble... it must be more powerful than the Red-eyed Giant Ape.
"City Lord, should we go and see?"
"See what? The matters of the Immortal Sect are not the responsibility of the City Lord’s Mansion. Let them handle it themselves."
It’s a joke; going to such a Great Demon would be tantamount to suicide for the City Lord’s Mansion.
So why go at all?
...
On Yunlan Mountain.
The green Meridian Gate vibrated, converging green Vein Qi, as if being absorbed into the Snake-Head Staff by a vortex. This caused Lu Ye’s expression to change slightly, though not out of fear.
Anomalous Vein at Half-Step Divine Profound, not easy to provoke!
If he could avoid fighting, he would.
What he needed to do was protect Wen Ping, at least until Wen Ping healed Biyue Piaoling, "Friend, please stop, I come from the Biyue Family by Zimo Lake, a Three-star Influence!"
"From Zimo Lake, so what? I am Huan Yue, ever heard of me?"
As she spoke, the Snake-Head Staff fell!
From the top of the Snake-Head Staff, like a sluice gate being opened, vein energy gushed out and turned into a Cyan Python. The Cyan Python, with a fierce killing intent, charged directly at Lu Ye.
In an instant, sand and stones flew.
Yet, the floor tiles remained undamaged.
However, no one noticed this, as everyone else stepped back, watching the Half-Step Divine Profound battle from afar.
As the Cyan Python was about to reach him, Zhantian Qingxuan spoke, "Don’t be afraid, she’s using a One-Star Vortex Map, the Wood Anomaly Vein only enhances the Vein Technique’s power by thirty percent, she’s not an Innate Anomaly Vein."
An Innate Anomaly Vein boosts the power of Vein Techniques by at least fifty percent, and using Abnormal Vein Skill can double the power of the same grade Vein Techniques. Because of this, Anomalous Profound naturally possesses the ability to challenge across levels,
but the anomaly brought by the Vortex Map isn’t so exaggerated, even with an Abnormal Vein Skill, the boost is only fifty percent.
Moreover, this Huan Yue is not using an Abnormal Vein Skill at all!
Huan Yue coldly laughed, "Such a small place, yet there’s someone who understands the Vortex Map! But even just thirty percent is enough to take his life!"
As she finished speaking, the Cyan Python arrived!
Boom!
The Cyan Python opened its mouth wide, biting onto the vein energy impact rising as Lu Ye raised his hand.
The two forces collided, sending waves of energy sweeping through the air.
The Cyan Python and the Vein Technique impact were locked in a stalemate, only waiting for one side to weaken and ultimately be defeated.
This scene shocked the people of the Immortal Sect.
Even though they were in the Lower Profound Realm, they had never seen such a spectacle, and they stepped back behind the Main Hall, using it as shelter, finally being able to stand steadily, but still not daring to poke their heads out to look.
In this stalemate, Lu Ye swept a glance at the cold-eyed elder holding a Dragon Head Staff.
"Friend, although I don’t know your grievances with Sect Leader Wen, I hope you can give my Biyue Family some face. Let’s call it off for today, and if there’s a misunderstanding, we can discuss it in detail another day."
"There’s nothing to discuss."
The old woman Huan Yue responded immediately, her hand raised, and the Cyan Python suddenly swept its tail, slashing toward Lu Ye’s waist. Lu Ye ducked immediately, and within his heart, killing intent erupted—damn it, does anyone else have a Vortex Map?
With a thought, a glow flashed from the almost transparent vortex at his left wrist.
Bang!
The Sound of Vibrating Vein resonated.
The blue Meridian Gate turned nearly transparent, and with a gesture, a giant wave arose from nowhere on the flat ground.
With another wave of his hand, the giant wave ten zhang high surged at the old woman with unstoppable force.
Since they didn’t give him face, he wouldn’t hold back!
Seeing this, the elder with the Dragon Head Walking Stick coldly spoke, "Holding a Vortex Map and Abnormal Vein Skill, truly a man of means! No wonder he could kill a Half-Step Divine Profound of the Hundred Sects Alliance, not entirely useless."
