School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master Chapter 1862 - 1948: Si Meng’s Combined Assault, the Might of Eight Hammers
Previously on School Beauty's Personal Crazy Young Master...
Witnessing the elders in purple and yellow robes launching their assault, the Black Feathered Chicken’s expression turned cunningly triumphant. With a swift swing of its massive foot, it sent the Demon God’s corpse, which it had been cradling, flying away.
It then gestured to the Four Fierce and Eight Hammers, commanding, "Form the array! Let those two geezers witness the might of the formation after Chicken Lord's improvements. They dare to trespass on Chicken Lord's territory and have no fear.">
The Black Feathered Chicken, astute and devious, had its eyes glinting with murderous intent.
"These old fools," it mused internally, "have long sought to eliminate us. How dare they attempt to snatch the monster! Originally, Shi Fanzhen and the others were meant to practice against them, but they all fled."
"Fleeing like Lei Feng, how shamelessly! Two Half-step Supremes are aiming for two ten-thousand-year-old Vermilion Bird Flowers? What ambition!"
"They must be taught a lesson!"
Upon seeing the Black Feathered Chicken kick aside the Demon God’s corpse, the two grand elders' expressions shifted. In an instant, the realization dawned: they had walked into a trap, a deliberate ploy by the Black Feathered Chicken to provoke them into acting.
Nevertheless, the two displayed no apprehension. Instead, their countenances grew even more arrogant. "With your lot, even if you assemble the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder Array, you stand no chance against us. Moreover, do you truly believe you have sufficient time to set up the formation?"
The Black Feathered Chicken let out a cold snort. "Then let's find out!"
In the ensuing moment, the Four Fierce and Eight Hammers coalesced into a formation. Gold, silver, copper, and iron—they instantly formed the improved Four Symbols Formation, meticulously crafted by the Black Feathered Chicken.
As the formation snapped into place, the Four Fierce, brandishing the Eight Hammers, launched their attack upon the two elders ensnared within the array.
The visages of the purple-robed and yellow-robed elders changed drastically. They could acutely sense that the strength of Shi Fanzhen and his companions had transformed to an extent previously unimaginable.
Relying solely on a formation, it was utterly impossible for such a drastic increase in their individual strength to manifest in such a brief period. Clearly… they had not exerted their full power earlier.
The Four Fierce and Eight Hammers had previously fought alongside Chen Nan against a Supreme. Although they had suffered severe injuries then, their combat experience was more than sufficient to deal with Half-step Supremes.
Furthermore, during their time within the Haotian Tower, their cultivation had advanced considerably. Defeating two Half-step Supremes was now a trivial matter.
Once the formation was complete, within a mere dozen breaths, the purple-robed and yellow-robed elders let out miserable cries. First, the iron hammer’s strike shattered their defenses. Then followed the copper hammer, the silver hammer, and finally, Shi Fanzhen’s golden hammer.
Shi Fanzhen’s golden hammer, imbued with strength comparable to Chen Nan's, was naturally boundless in its power. At this juncture, a single hammer blow sent the purple-robed elder hurtling away.
With merely this strike, the purple-robed elder suffered fractures in at least five or six ribs.
Yet, this was only one hammer. Shi Fanzhen, cackling wildly in mid-air, pursued the recovering purple-robed elder. Another hammer descended. The unfortunate purple-robed elder, spitting blood involuntarily, had a gaping hole directly punched through his abdomen.
Their combat prowess was akin to an instant kill; Half-step Supremes were utterly incapable of resisting their onslaught.
Chen Yi, flicking his silver hammer, was about to surge forward and obliterate the purple-robed elder. The Black Feathered Chicken hastily flapped its wings, soaring to intercept him. "Dear nephew, remain calm. Your father refrained from killing these two for a reason. Let us not be the villains here."
Chen Yi halted his advance. "Uncle Chicken, I'm itching for a fight! All those Demon Gods have already fled. What am I to do?"
The Black Feathered Chicken chuckled. "That yellow-robed old fellow is still lingering. He was the most vocal earlier. Take your time and practice on him, but just don't kill him."
The yellow-robed elder had been contemplating seizing the lull to deliver a taunt. However, upon overhearing these words, his face turned as dark as a bruised plum, nearly causing him to regurgitate ancient blood on the spot.
"You… you…"
"Ahhh! Stop hitting! I was wrong!"
The yellow-robed elder clutched his head, howling in agony as he was pummeled by the Four Fierce. Meanwhile, in the distance, the purple-robed elder, nursing his abdominal wound, was desperately attempting to recover his Qi, his situation utterly pathetic.
"So, you admit you were wrong? You dared to act so tough in front of Chicken Lord! Look at you now, acting tough until you're…" The Black Feathered Chicken delivered a kick towards the yellow-robed elder, striking him directly at a vulnerable point.
"Oh, what is this thing? Flashing and sparkling, quite amusing! Take it down for Chicken Lord."
The Black Feathered Chicken then proceeded to retrieve the glowing bead from around the yellow-robed elder's neck.
"This is a Life Pearl; our journey is perilous, and Nan Tian's cultivation is not robust. The Pearl flashing signifies he has encountered danger, allowing me to track his location and rescue him." The elder in yellow robes lamented bitterly.
"Ah, let's observe the predicament they find themselves in."
The Black Feathered Chicken harbored minimal interest in Ye Nantian and Leng Wuji specifically, but it considered investigating the potential dangers within the Secret Realm to prepare proactively. Although the strength of those two was insufficient, they still surpassed the capabilities of several Demon Gods.
"Very well, I shall release the Life Pearl."
Despite his deep resentment, the elder in yellow robes recognized the scarce number of Heavenly Lords within the Liangji Sect; the loss of even one would represent a catastrophic blow.
Even for the continuation of the sect, he could not permit them to perish without consequence.
The moment he removed the bead from his neck, the Life Pearl immediately ascended into the air, only to detonate as it met the atmosphere.
Not far away, the Life Pearl adorning the purple-robed elder also shattered instantaneously.
The heavily wounded purple-robed elder, who was already writhing in agony, now wailed in utter despair: "Wu Ji has fallen!"
The Black Feathered Chicken idly scratched its head with a claw: "Old man, does this indicate Ye Nantian has also met his end?"
The elder in yellow robes displayed a countenance of profound desolation: "Indeed..."
The domain that once boasted two Heavenly Lords had, in a single fleeting moment, seen them both slain.
The Black Feathered Chicken cast a glance towards the Four Fierce beings: "Let us make haste and depart from this region. We must seek out Chen Nan and the Haotian Tower. This Secret Realm is no trifling matter; his beloved consorts might be in grave peril."
Swiftly, the Black Feathered Chicken and its companions gathered the two pitiable old elders from the ground and soared away into the distance.
In a separate sector of the Secret Realm, Chu Wenrou, Huo Xinya, the Black Forest Demon King, and the Ape Ancestor found themselves together. Having encountered each other only a short while prior, Chu Wenrou and Huo Xinya bore injuries sustained during their fierce engagement with the Demon Gods.
Ji Yueshen, Yun Hua, and Yun Long, alongside the Sky Dragon King and Ziyun, formed another group, the largest of them all. However, excluding Ji Yueshen, everyone else seemed to be faring poorly. Within the Secret Realm, several Half-step Supreme Level Outer Heaven Demons had launched a surprise attack upon them.
These demons possessed formidable power, and the ambush was successful. Yet, upon Ji Yueshen's arrival at the battlefield as a Supreme Expert, he instantly compelled an Outer Heaven Demon to retreat with overwhelming force.
Subsequently, he annihilated its reviving residual soul once more, ensuring the demon's permanent demise.
"Everyone, maintain your vigilance. This Secret Realm is exceptionally treacherous. The Half-step Supreme Level Outer Heaven Demons we just confronted were undoubtedly Supremes in their past lives. Had it not been for the mere wisp of a residual soul that allowed for revival, coupled with the presence of a Supreme among us, the situation would have been dire indeed."
The Sky Dragon King voiced his apprehension, acknowledging that this expedition was far from the simple undertaking the Ghost Venerable had implied.
