System's Super Sect Chapter 929 - 872: Space Seal!
Previously on System's Super Sect...
Suddenly, Three Extremes' icy voice rang out across the scene.
"Does your Immortal Sect plan to rebel?"
Three Extremes glared icily at Wen Ping, apparently paying no mind to the Sword Demon looming overhead.
The moment Three Extremes posed this question, all eyes turned to the Immortal Sect's Sect Leader.
Did the Immortal Sect Leader truly have the guts to slay a member of Jisheng Hall?
Such an act would be outright rebellion.
You Country wasn't some pushover like the Red Leaf Sect—it couldn't be casually overrun.
Upon hearing Three Extremes' words, a faint grin finally crept onto Qian Jun's face. This time, he felt a bit thankful for Three Extremes' timely help.
Without those words, resolving the standoff would have been incredibly tough.
Thanks to Three Extremes' statement, Qian Jun now saw a path to manage the crisis.
Still, Qian Jun held back from speaking right away, preferring to wait until the Immortal Sect Leader was cornered before offering an escape route.
Offering one too early would spoil the moment.
But Qian Jun never imagined Wen Ping would straight-up command, "Kill this guy, and if the other two jump in, kill them too."
As soon as the order dropped, shock rippled through the crowd!
What audacity!
This was pure rebellion!
In the very next instant, the Sword Demon slashed downward fiercely, unleashing a hundred-zhang black Sword Qi that bore down on the grounded Qian Jun like an unstoppable mountain.
Qian Jun jolted in terror, utterly dumbfounded.
"How dare you?"
Bang——
Qian Jun’s Meridian Gate trembled violently at once.
A towering water barrier sprang up before him, bracing to clash with the colossal black Sword Qi from the Sword Demon.
An elite upper-realm powerhouse from the Immortal Sect had already struck; he refused to just await his doom.
He couldn't fathom the reason at all.
Why was the Immortal Sect bold enough to assault him?
Weren't they terrified of Jisheng Hall?
Not scared of the Domain Master?
Shaking off his confusion, Qian Jun swiftly pulled back while observing the enormous black Sword Qi crash into the water barrier, cleaving through it like flimsy paper and carving a massive gash across the whole street.
The might of that one strike was horrifying!
"Let’s go!"
Realizing the Sword Demon was a Hall Master-level upper-realm powerhouse, he had zero desire to keep battling.
Because pressing on spelled certain doom!
If every Divine Artisan from Jisheng Hall united, victory might be possible, but with only the three of them present, triumph was out of reach.
Evil Moon Princess nodded rapidly, "Three Extremes, let’s retreat!"
With that, Evil Moon Princess shot toward the city's edge without delay.
Three Extremes dashed after her in haste.
Spotting Qian Jun's escape attempt, irritation flashed across the Sword Demon’s face. He despised these cowards who fled after failing to win.
If you knew defeat was coming, why start trouble; now that trouble's stirred, fleeing is all you think of.
Wasn't that insane?
"Run, where do you think you're running?"
The Sword Demon pursued Qian Jun instantly, yanking a Magic Wand from his Storage Ring and starting to chant an incantation.
Right then, a massive beast's roar erupted from above.
A blazing crimson glow hurtled their way, and in mere breaths, all could see—it was Jisheng Hall’s Nine Lives Nine Deaths Bird.
As a Wing Race Demon God, the Nine Lives Nine Deaths Bird boasted incredible flight speed, surpassing even a typical Earth Unrestricted Upper Realm expert.
Seeing the Nine Lives Nine Deaths Bird speeding toward him, Qian Jun's face lit up with joy, "Good thing the Nine Lives Nine Deaths Bird doesn't heed my commands."
Had the Nine Lives Nine Deaths Bird followed his orders and trailed him to the auction, escaping wouldn't have been this smooth.
As the Nine Lives Nine Deaths Bird drew near, Qian Jun shot a venomous glare at the pursuing Sword Demon, then snarled through clenched teeth, "Just wait to die!"
Once he got away, he'd rush back to inform the Hall Master!
The Immortal Sect was doomed for sure!
Yet in that instant, something felt off to him. His velocity dropped sharply.
And not just slightly!
The Nine Lives Nine Deaths Bird suffered the same fate.
Its pace slowed too.
But the Sword Demon trailing behind kept his full speed, rapidly gaining ground.
"What’s happening?"
Qian Jun panicked, pushing desperately to accelerate, only to find his top speed halved from normal.
At that point, fear gripped him.
The Sword Demon was right on him!
"Die!"
Bang——
The Sword Demon’s Meridian Gate quaked, and he hoisted his weapon skyward, materializing behind Qian Jun in a flash to deliver a brutal downward chop.
A colossal black Sword Qi surged forth like a raging flood, and as Qian Jun whipped around, he felt tinier than ever.
If this Sword Qi connected...
Death was inevitable!
Qian Jun realized his Defensive Vein Skill was worthless, and he had no hope of surviving the blow.
"Right, Water Transformation!"
The idea hit Qian Jun like lightning.
Water Transformation endured for fifteen minutes, nullifying every attack and evading even a Celestial Unrestricted expert's Perception.
He could slip away with this!
Elation surged through Qian Jun at the thought.
When the bridge ends, the boat straightens—truly!
What the Immortal Sect had sold him ended up rescuing his life indirectly.
"Hahaha, you never saw this coming." Qian Jun laughed in triumph, activating the Four-Vortex Vortex Map on his chest without hesitation.
Water Transformation!
Boom——
A burst of azure water erupted mid-air, showering down as countless droplets, with many zipping off into the distance.
Sensing his full conversion into water droplets, Qian Jun exulted, then darted swiftly in the reverse direction.
Shockingly, as droplets, his speed returned to normal.
Fifteen minutes!
Plenty to make a clean getaway!
But after a handful of breaths, Qian Jun slammed into a barrier, splintering amid the other droplets.
Why was there a wall up in the sky?
A foreboding chill seized Qian Jun.
His Perception scan left him frozen in disbelief.
An unseen force blanketed the sky for miles around. Droplets hung suspended, unable to descend; scattered bits and streams were halted, repelled by an invisible barrier. The Nine Lives Nine Deaths Bird fared no better.
Even its collisions against the unseen wall proved useless.
"How is this possible?"
Qian Jun's panic deepened.
This was an unprecedented trap.
Meanwhile, the Sword Demon floated in the heavens, vigilantly scanning the area.
He had deployed a Tier Three Spatial Magic—Space Seal—to seal off the sky across several miles, rendering escape impossible for any Middle Realm foe.
Though his Spiritual Power hadn't hit Second Stage, a decade in the Fifth World had perfected his Space Seal.
It might not hold an Upper Realm powerhouse, but trapping a Middle Realm was effortless.
Back at the auction house entrance, Wen Ping levitated via Sword Control, eyes locked on a specific spot.
Exactly where the Red Leaf Sect Master lurked.
Still hiding?
The Red Leaf Sect Master had remarkable endurance.
"If you stay hidden, Qian Jun dies." Wen Ping had tracked Qian Jun's straightforward route, knowing he hailed from the Red Leaf Sect.
Three Extremes and Evil Moon Princess had come from there too.
All three served Ye Wuping, and with one facing death, would Ye Wuping really stand idle?
As moments dragged on, nearing fifteen minutes, Ye Wuping remained unseen.
Wen Ping sighed despite himself, "Such patience—clearly no ordinary foe."
Then, Wen Ping glanced upward at the sealed zone, where Qian Jun's water form reverted to human shape.
The fifteen minutes had expired!
Next use wouldn't come until ten days hence.
Whether Qian Jun survived those ten days was anyone's guess.
Endure ten more days, and he'd gain another fifteen minutes of life!
