All Things Are Contracts

Chapter 280: Invincible Against Invincible (2)

Tianxian in his quicksilver form had no facial features, merely a human shape, like a creature from another realm. Even with the insight of the Ascetic Monk and the Alchemy Daoist, they couldn’t understand Tianxian’s power at all.

Huang Xueqing calmly responded. With a flip of her right hand, the lotus in the air separated into blades, the nine-grade lotus platform transforming into nine lotus petal flying knives.

The nine-grade flying knives flew directly towards Tianxian, but Tianxian didn’t defend at all, allowing the nine knives to pass through his body. These knives were like passing through a water screen, and then that water screen instantly healed. That quicksilver figure was completely unharmed.

“Indeed, it’s like this again. It seems any damage is unable to injure Tianxian in this form,” the spectators all exclaimed in amazement.

The quicksilver man went straight for Huang Xueqing’s location. However, Huang Xueqing waved her hand again, and the nine lotus petals of the nine-grade lotus platform converged in front of her like light beams, forming the shape of a shield.

The quicksilver man fiercely crashed into the shield, turning into dots of quicksilver droplets, and then those quicksilver droplets gathered back into human form. Tianxian punched the lotus shield again and again, but it was difficult to shake it.

“What an amazing defense. Each punch and kick from Tianxian in this state is as heavy as a mountain, yet this lotus defense is completely undamaged?” the Winged Race’s Great Elder sighed. He naturally knew how powerful Tianxian’s attacks were in this state. Even those at the early Spirit God stage definitely wouldn’t be a match for Tianxian in this state.

Since a strong offense didn’t work, Tianxian changed his approach. He actually stuck to the lotus shield like a liquid, then passed through the gaps in the lotus shield and returned to human form to attack Huang Xueqing.

“There’s even this kind of breakthrough method?” The crowd didn’t expect to see such a scene. “Huang Xueqing is in danger now. This shield of hers can’t stop Tianxian in this form.”

The people off-stage were all anxious, watching with pounding hearts, but Huang Xueqing on stage was extremely calm.

Suddenly, eighteen identical lotus platforms appeared beside Huang Xueqing, forming multi-layered shields tightly protecting her. The shields rotated at high speed. As soon as the quicksilver Tianxian drilled into the gaps, he was thrown out, unable to break through like before.

“This… eighteen lotus platforms!! How is this possible?!” The crowd gaped at the densely packed lotus shields. One lotus platform was already so powerful, yet she actually had eighteen.

“Is it another illusion?” The Thunder Lord narrowed his eyes. In the previous battles of geniuses, Huang Xueqing had deceived Fan Longyu with an illusion.

“True and false, false and true. She indeed only has one lotus platform, but these eighteen lotus platforms are also all real,” the Ascetic Monk said.

“Senior, what do you mean? What does it mean she only has one lotus platform, but these eighteen lotus platforms are all real?” The crowd couldn’t understand.

The Ascetic Monk smiled slightly and didn’t explain. After all, this involved Huang Xueqing’s secret. He saw through it but didn’t expose it. The others on stage, including the Alchemy Daoist, couldn’t see through it at all.

After repeated attempts, the quicksilver man finally broke through the lotus shield and arrived in front of Huang Xueqing.

“You’ve lost,” Tianxian’s face, which didn’t resemble a human’s, revealed the shape of a mouth, confidently saying.

“Is that so?” Huang Xueqing smiled disdainfully.

The eighteen lotus platforms flew in eighteen directions, floating in the air, and then eighteen Huang Xueqings stood on the platforms, looking at the dumbfounded Tianxian.

“How is this possible! What level of illusion is this?!” The Great Elder Tian Yu couldn’t sit still anymore. He knew Huang Xueqing was using an illusion, but he couldn’t see through it.

“So amazing…” Baizhi looked at Huang Xueqing with admiration. She had also heard of Tianxian’s reputation recently and didn’t expect Huang Xueqing to be able to contend with him for so long.

“A draw?” MuMu Lixi beside her also breathed a sigh of relief. She was still quite worried about Huang Xueqing. After all, she represented the Human Race. Now Huang Xueqing was in a truly undefeatable position.

“What a pity. I’m afraid Tianxian is familiar with this level of illusion,” Elder Tian Yu sighed helplessly.

“Hehe, Elder Tian Yu, how about considering this battle a draw?” the Thunder Lord proposed.

Elder Tian Yu nodded. Although Tianxian was invincible in this state, he couldn’t really injure Huang Xueqing, and Huang Xueqing’s moves also couldn’t injure Tianxian at all. There wouldn’t be a result if two people with “no weaknesses” continued fighting.

Tianxian and Huang Xueqing on stage naturally also understood this principle. Both sides retreated from the arena.

“Impressive, impressive. Wait until I find a way to break your illusion, I’ll definitely battle you again,” Tianxian was a bit unconvinced. His understanding of illusions was too shallow, so he had no way to deal with Huang Xueqing.

Huang Xueqing didn’t even frown. She couldn’t think of a way to break through Tianxian’s quicksilver state. “Forget it, I indeed can’t defeat him.”

With this battle, the Winged Race genius’s advancing steps were finally halted. The Human Race regained a bit of ground.

However, Tianxian and the Great Elder didn’t leave after this. He couldn’t defeat Huang Xueqing because her techniques were too strange. He was more curious about the level of Tai’e, whom he hadn’t seen, and that rumored Divine Son. More importantly, they had another mission for this trip – to bring Yunyao back.

In the Heavenly Book World.

A creature only the size of a rabbit was carrying a basket on its back, collecting a particularly good-looking mushroom. The creature had a face like a human, with cute features and a big red flower on its head, as if a potted plant had come to life. Its face was brimming with a happy expression, completely unaware of Zhanyue and his companion’s approach.

“Hold!” Without any hesitation, Yunyao directly used her spatial technique.

The mysterious little creature’s face froze, wanting to run but unable to escape at all.

“Who are you? Hurry and let me go, or I’ll get angry,” a cute voice appeared in the minds of the two. This mysterious creature could actually directly communicate with them telepathically.

“Little cutie, are you from the Fairy Spirit Clan?” Zhanyue communicated in his mind.

“I am from the Fairy Spirit Clan. Hurry and let me go, or I’ll really get angry,” the little Fairy Spirit Clan member said angrily. Yunyao’s technique wasn’t very effective against those experts, but it was even better at restraining this little Fairy Spirit Clan member.

“Let you go? What if you run away? Do you know how to get to the true Fairy Spirit Clan territory?”

“You want to go to our village? That’s not a place ordinary people can go. There’s a kind of seven-colored mushroom in my basket. If you eat it, you can go,” the little Fairy Spirit Clan member said.

Zhanyue took out a colorful mushroom from its small basket and examined it for a long time.

“You’re not really thinking of eating it, are you? It’s obviously trying to trick us. This mushroom looks highly poisonous at a glance,” Yunyao said, looking at Zhanyue.

“Nonsense! The Fairy Spirit Clan never lies,” the little Fairy Spirit Clan member said angrily.

“It’s fine. What I fear the least is poison. I’ll try it first. If there’s a problem, I have ways to deal with it.” Zhanyue was fearless and directly ate the colorful mushroom. Instantly, he felt dizzy, as if he had arrived in a mysterious place.

In Yunyao’s eyes, after Zhanyue ate the mushroom, his entire body turned into specks of light and completely disappeared from her sight.

“Huh? What’s going on? Didn’t Grandpa say only Fairy Spirit Clan members can return to the clan territory after eating the seven-colored mushroom? How did he go there too?” The little Fairy Spirit Clan member widened its cute eyes, expressing its inability to understand. If it were really this simple, countless people would have set foot in that sacred land long ago.
