He was just surprised by the ancestor’s judgnt; the Rabbit Heroine indeed harbors a trendous secret.
The world knows that the Legendary Long Saber Bingzi Pepper Forest was obtained by the Yellow Dog of the Thief’s House, and since the Rabbit Heroine possesses the Bingzi Pepper Forest, she must have a deep connection with the Yellow Dog.
Moreover, it’s said that Jiang Shi, the madman from Mansu Forest Land of Liang Kingdom, once used the Legendary Long Saber to slaughter all around. But without having seen it firsthand, no one can be certain it was the Bingzi Pepper Forest. However, connecting the dots that both Jiang Shi and the Rabbit Heroine have Return Orders and the Bingzi Pepper Forest, Helan Xun seed to faintly glimpse a massive force lurking in the shadows, simultaneously extending its claws toward the Thief’s House, Mansu Forest Land, and the legacy of calamity!
"Capture her." The usual silent ancestor spoke again, his voice resonating across Shu Dao Mountain, with a hint of excitent amidst the coldness: "Do not damage the Bingzi Pepper Forest."
"Yes." Helan Xun looked toward the Prajna Blood Phase: "You two, follow —"
Thud! The Rabbit Heroine leapt forward, flying out like an arrow from a bowstring, stirring up clouds of dust from the ruins! With attributes boosted three tis and coupled with Asura’s Fury, the Rabbit Heroine’s Qi Blood and agility had reached fifty points, allowing her to cross several ters in a blink, reaching right in front of them!
Besides the Blood Phase who looked unresponsive, both Prajna and Helan Xun positioned themselves at the maximum attack range from her, ready to retreat at any mont!
Without a doubt, they were all wary of the Rabbit Heroine’s Torrential Rain Killing Technique.
Prajna himself was the Heavy Rain ssenger; how could he not know the pitfalls of the Torrential Rain Killing Technique?
Although the Torrential Rain is first in offense among the sa rank, it has three major limitations: body, ti, and distance!
However, the Rabbit Heroine’s body was almost unaffected by the Torrential Rain, which was temporarily left aside; the Torrential Rain could be triggered once every thirty breaths, and since the Rabbit Heroine had triggered it more than thirty breaths ago, it was ready for use; thus, they could only exploit the last limitation, distance!
Although Bingzi Pepper Forest is a long saber, how could its attack range compare to the long weapons of Prajna and Helan Xun? They could continuously pressure the Rabbit Heroine from a safe distance, and even if the Rabbit Heroine managed to initiate the Torrential Rain Killing Technique, they would have enough distance to evade!
Helan Xun thought similarly. Unlike Helan Jade, even though he didn’t fear the Rabbit Heroine, he would not give her any opportunity. If Helan Jade was a mad dog, Helan Xun was an eagle—calm, cautious, and a one-hit kill!
Just as they anticipated, the Rabbit Heroine dodged beyond the distance of the long spear and Zen Staff, no matter how much she extended her saber, it was impossible to reach them, unless...
Her saber could extend.
Torrential Rain Ti Hand of lting Hundred Forms Secret Flying Star Bingzi Pepper Forest Heaven-Covering Blade Aura!
Mansu Forest Land of Liang Kingdom was once rampaged by Jiang Shi beneath superior ranks, but how could the specific details have spread? Even if they did, everyone paid more attention to Jiang Shi’s safe escape from beneath the Foundation Establishnts, rather than focusing on the situation of the Legendary Long Saber... Thus the Zhou People naturally didn’t know the destructive power of the Heaven-Covering Blade Aura!
Upon seeing the Bingzi Pepper Forest extend with blade aura, everyone’s scalp tingled, each cell and every drop of blood scread for escape!
Except for the Blood Phase who managed to leap up, Prajna and Helan Xun had no ti to make any effective evasions; they could only watch as the Rabbit Heroine, in 0.35 seconds, unleashed a continuous river of blade aura from the Bingzi Pepper Forest, setting Shu Dao Mountain ablaze like the setting sun!
Even though the Rabbit Heroine hadn’t advanced her blade technique, wielding the saber with both hands along with attributes granted by three advancents secured her extrely high attack speed, slashing sixteen tis in 0.35 seconds; nine slashes grazed Prajna, and all sixteen aid at Helan Xun’s throat!
Even amidst the lightning-fast mont, Helan Xun retained high composure, barely blocking the vital points with his long spear, reducing the chances of being hit. But it was aningless; the Blade Aura from Bingzi Pepper Forest was an invisible killing intent, and defense was just futile!
The defensive barrier shattered instantly, Helan Xun’s defensive token was probably a Third-Transformation Curiosity, surprisingly enduring until the very last slash before breaking, even the Mountain Heart-Protecting Mirror might not achieve this. Yet everyone knew that even without armor, the two of the Helan Family were the most resolute bastions on Shu Dao Mountain.
Can the Heir of Calamity wielding the Legendary Token crumble a Fake Foundation Establishnt?
Splat!
Helan Xun’s neck was like a bursting water pipe, spewing blood from a hideous crack! His neck bore countless tiny blade marks, as though his neck was brutally sliced by a small knife!
But he wasn’t dead, he wasn’t dead!
Gripping the long spear tight with his right hand, with his left hand firmly pressing his head down to keep it from falling! His neck’s wound was sprouting granules, trying to reconnect the head to the body, as his inhuman vitality fiercely battled the Power of Calamity!
I won’t die, I can’t die, I have the ancestor’s protection!
Helan Xun roared within, fear mixed with confidence.
This wasn’t his first ti receiving the ancestor’s protection; in fact, every Third-Transformation born in the family over the past decades has served as the ancestor’s hounds.
The Array of the Grand Moon and the Celestial Cover though largely flawed, and requiring the ancestor to fully maintain the array and unable to attack, its effects were astonishing. Strengthened by the Divine Techniques of Drawing Dungeon, even a Fourth-Turn Demon Fiend was at a loss against this array. This ant the ancestor could easily partition the battlefield, gradually eliminating the Fourth-Turn Demon Fiends, akin to a strategy master defeating armies piece by piece.
The key lay in who would eliminate the divided fiends. Previously, the ancestor needed collaborations with other Foundation Establishnts, but ever since obtaining a critical token fifty years ago, the Third-Transformations in the family could take on the task.
Authority: Strategy of the Ten Thousand Armies’ Linked Rings, the ancestor could bestow tokens to a maximum of two individuals. During the authority’s duration, the two could enjoy all passive powers of the Foundation Establishnt Token, even lacking active powers, they wielded the battle power of a Fake Foundation Establishnt, enough to slay isolated Fourth-Turn Demon Fiends!
To optimize their elimination of Fourth-Turn Demon Fiends, tokens bestowed by the ancestor were ordinary or rare, but with outstanding passive powers, greatly enhancing strength with gauntlets, significantly increasing life recovery with armor, and allowing instant speed with boots to handle all situations!
Thus I won’t die; given a bit of ti, my head could be reattached, escaping the attack range of the Bingzi Pepper Forest would ensure survival, how could the Power of Calamity rival the might of Foundation Establishnt!
Without hesitation, Helan Xun dashed to the battlefield where Helan Jade and Pharmacist’s Wish fought; he was sprinting with all his might, yet the blade aura clung to him like a shadow, slashing his neck twice more, severing the granules that just sprouted.
Helan Jade, always mindful of the Rabbit Heroine, imdiately noticed Helan Xun’s critical situation and decisively abandoned Pharmacist’s Wish to help intercept the Rabbit Heroine. However, Pharmacist’s Wish cunningly stabbed toward his foot, creating a tripwire that hampered his pace!
Although it failed to inflict effective damage on Helan Jade, Pharmacist’s Wish’s battlefield intuition was not to be belittled. Just this move tipped the scales of victory.
"Aaaah!" Helan Jade’s eyes flushed red; he never expected to be thwarted by this Yao Family pest! Even though he stabilized and rushed forward imdiately, it was already...
Too late!
One slash, two slashes, three slashes!
Helan Xun realized that the blade aura was no longer targeting his neck, but attempting to cut into his head. It should be fine; as long as the brain isn’t completely destroyed, even being sliced a few tis could allow recovery, couldn’t the power of the Foundation Establishnt Token be imagined by ordinary people? The head, while a critical point, could still endure damage.
Hurry, Helan Jade was almost there to stop the Rabbit Heroine; given a bit more ti, survival was within reach!
Helan Xun’s eyes turned crimson with blood, but his spirit beca more exhilarated. Decapitation incredibly did not hinder his cognitive abilities. However, just then, he suddenly noticed a change in view; his sight was no longer on Helan Jade, but directed toward the blazing sun in the sky.
My... my head... fell?
Helan Xun’s eyes widened, realizing his left hand that held his head had also fallen, with a clean cut on the wrist. The Rabbit Heroine wasn’t aiming to destroy his head, but to sever the left hand holding the head!
Helan Xun wanted to speak but without a trachea, no sound erged. The granules on his neck remained resiliently growing, yet unable to find their target, soon weakened and withered, like parasites losing their host.
"Uncle Xun!"
In Helan Jade’s furious roar, Helan Xun collapsed to the ground, his head rolled more than ten paces away, his body completely motionless.
Helan Xun, dead.
Remaining Demon Dao mbers on Shu Dao Mountain, 4 people.
