Chapter 154 5 Thunderclap Heaven Technique
"Clap! Clap! Clap!" After the lingering impact subsided, a round of applause rang out.
The master of Anxiang Tower stood on the rooftop, clapping his hands in praise: "What supernatural power! What Taoist magic! What a wonderful magic weapon!"
"I underestimated you. But do you really think that just a few of you can shake the thousand-year-old heritage of my Dark Fragrance Pavilion?" The Dark Fragrance Pavilion Master's tone gradually turned cold.
"Your Dao Academy and Zhenwu Sect are far away in Qingzhou and Shenzhou, yet you act so aggressively in Zhongzhou. Do you really think my Anxiang Tower can be bullied?" the Anxiang Tower Master said coldly.
No sooner had the words left his mouth than changes occurred at Anxiang Tower.
The nine-story pavilion of Anxiang Tower was instantly covered with dark gold Dao patterns, and the copper bells hanging from the eaves rang without wind.
The building was shrouded in a heavy aura of malevolence, and each floor was covered with countless cannon barrels and hidden doors.
On the top floor of the building, three figures stood suspended in mid-air.
The leader was clad in a black robe, his face hidden behind a mask, revealing only a pair of eyes as cold as a deep pool. He was none other than Yin Qianshang, the master of Anxiang Tower.
On his left and right sides stood a man and a woman, the man holding a hook knife, who was the Left Envoy Xuan Ying.
The woman was wrapped in a long silver silk ribbon; she was the Right Envoy, You Sha.
The three of them merged into one, their killing intent completely undisguised.
Below, over a hundred assassins from the Dark Fragrance Pavilion were lurking, waiting for their chance to strike.
The Taoist priests and Cheng Hao stood side by side, their spiritual light and malevolent energy colliding violently in the sea of clouds, stirring up waves of energy.
Xia Linxian stared directly at Mo Qianshang and roared, "Stop bluffing! Hand over Lu Ming!"
Yin Qianshang slowly raised his hand, and a low sneer came from behind his mask: "Chief Xia of the Dao Academy, what a big shot."
"I'll only ask once," Xia Linxian flicked her finger, causing the Heavenly Secrets Disc to spin rapidly, "Where is Lu Ming?"
Xuan Ying stepped forward, brandishing his hooked blade, his tone sinister: "Chief Xia, why ask a question you already know the answer to? When has Anxiang Tower ever made a move and left no one alive! Instead of going to find the person who bought your life, you come here to cause trouble for us."
Upon hearing this, the sea of clouds suddenly calmed down.
The expressions of everyone in the Taoist temple changed drastically.
Chenghao's breathing suddenly became heavy, filled with shock and anger.
He gripped the Blazing Dragon Spear tightly, causing the sea of clouds beneath his feet to surge.
The sect leader's instructions before his departure flashed through his mind: "Chenghao, Lu Ming has a deep connection with the Zhenwu Sect. His cultivation is still shallow, so you must secretly look after him and protect him."
Lu Ming died just a few days after arriving in Zhongzhou. How could he explain this to the sect leader?
"What did you say?" Cheng Hao's voice boomed in fury, a divine light of profound yellow emanating from his body, the phantom of his hundred-foot-tall Xuanwu Dharma Body appearing and disappearing behind him. "Say it again!"
You Sha covered her mouth and chuckled, the long silver silk ribbon moving like a serpent in her palm: "Big dummy, can't you understand human language? The person you're looking for is dead."
"Die!"
Cheng Hao roared, and his Xuanwu Dharma Body suddenly solidified. He raised his spear and was about to rush forward, but Chu Tian reached out and stopped him.
As Lu Ming's senior brother, Chu Tianyi never lost his composure throughout the entire process.
"Senior Brother Chenghao, don't be impulsive. Lu Ming is not dead; his life tablet is still intact."
Chu Tian pointed his Divine Soaring Sword at the opposite side, purple lightning crackling around its blade. "I'll ask you again, release him or not? Release my junior brother, and we'll retreat immediately."
"Release them? You still want to leave?" Yin Qianshang laughed loudly, his laughter causing the copper bells of Anxiang Tower to ring wildly.
"The Dark Fragrance Pavilion roams the world, taking money to kill for people! We won't release them, and you won't leave either!"
Xia Linxian stepped forward, and the light from the Zhenhai Pearl suddenly surged: "Yin Qianshang, do you know that your choice today is to make an enemy of the entire Dao Academy?"
"So what if you're enemies of the Daoist Academy?" Yin Qianshang waved his hand. "The Dark Fragrance Pavilion has a thousand-year history; who have we ever feared? Now that you've barged in, don't even think about leaving alive!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yin Qianshang suddenly pressed down on the altar on the top floor of Anxiang Tower.
"boom!"
The Shadow Tower suddenly shone with a thousand feet of light, and all nine floors were activated simultaneously.
The copper bells on the eaves shot out streaks of deadly arrows, raining down on the people of the Taoist temple.
The cannons on the building spewed fire, each shell containing terrifying power.
The malevolent energy surrounding Anxiang Tower coalesced into a massive killing array, which was none other than Anxiang Tower's signature killing array, the Shadow Seven Killing Array.
"Watch out!" Xia Linxian shouted, and the Zhenhai Pearl instantly appeared in front of everyone, transforming into a barrier of mysterious light.
The arrow struck the barrier and shattered into pieces.
The fireballs exploded and were swallowed by the barrier.
However, the Seven Killings Formation's pressure was like Mount Tai pressing down, and everyone in the academy felt their spiritual energy circulation was sluggish.
"This Dark Fragrance Pavilion is actually a Heaven-Reaching Spiritual Treasure!" Li Jingyun drew his Dragon Roar Sword. "Everyone, form the formation!"
Liu Yiyi and her seven companions immediately formed the Seven Star Battle Formation, with the power of seven spiritual treasures intertwining to form a wall.
Chenghao suppressed his anger, solidified his Xuanwu Dharma Body, and used the Blazing Sun Dragon Spear to block in front of him.
"Geniuses who grow up are geniuses; prepare to pay the price for your stupidity."
Yin Qianshang's figure blurred, transforming into a black shadow as he lunged at Xia Linxian. "You've managed to force the Dark Fragrance Pavilion to reveal its true form; you should be proud of that. But your lives end here!"
He gathered a dense aura of malevolent energy in his palm and unleashed a Shadow Heart-Shattering Palm strike towards Xia Linxian's brow.
The Dark Fragrance Pavilion trembled in the air as layers of suppressing power surged forth, further amplified by overwhelming magical power.
Xia Linxian was furious. This Dark Fragrance Pavilion clearly didn't take him and the Dao Academy seriously!
"Stubborn fool! Today I'll show you the power of immortal abilities! Even if you possess a heaven-reaching treasure, I can still annihilate you with a wave of my hand!"
Xia Linxian raised his left hand, and twenty-four Zhenhai Pearls instantly rose into the air, arranging themselves in a circle according to the positions of the stars in the heavens, their mysterious light intertwined.
The Heavenly Secrets Disc in his right palm suddenly enlarged, hovering above his head, its star patterns rotating and emitting a clear buzzing sound.
"The Pearl of Zhenhai, locking in heaven and earth!"
"The Celestial Disc determines destiny!"
As the two incantations fell, the Zhenhai Pearl wove a dazzling curtain of mysterious light, locking the space within a thousand feet of the Dark Shadow Tower, while simultaneously resisting the suppressive power of the Dark Fragrance Tower.
Countless malevolent arrows halted in mid-air, cannonballs were unable to advance, and even Yin Qianshang's Shadow Heart-Shattering Palm was firmly fixed by the invisible spatial force.
Mo Qianshang's expression changed drastically. He exerted all his strength, only to find his body stuck in quagmire, unable to move an inch: "This is... spatial confinement? You can actually grasp a trace of spatial laws?!"
"You should be glad it's just a confinement." Xia Linxian stepped on the Seven Stars, his body crackling with electricity.
The Zhenhai Pearl activated the laws of heaven and earth, resonating with their Daoist principles.
"Today, I will show you the Daoist Academy's ultimate technique, the Five Thunderclap Heaven-Shaking Technique!"
Xia Lin descended like a thunder god, causing thunder to rumble across the heavens and earth. His body was covered in lightning, and his eyes transformed into electric light. With a roar, he shouted, "Five Thunders Shake the Heavens!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the world changed color.
Heavenly Thunder - Purple Heaven Divine Thunder
High in the sky, dark clouds suddenly gathered, and a bolt of purple-gold lightning, like a giant dragon, swooped down, carrying the power of divine punishment.
Landmines - Earth Vein Thunder
Beneath the sea of clouds, the earth's energy surged, and a bolt of earth-yellow lightning burst forth from the ground, crashing upwards.
Wind and Thunder - Azure Wind and Thunder
In the vast emptiness, howling winds swept across the land as a streak of bluish-white lightning, accompanied by winds capable of tearing apart everything, hurtled straight towards them.
Water mines - Xuanming water mines
Amidst the sea of clouds, water vapor condensed, and a streak of azure lightning, carrying a chilling aura that could freeze everything, swept across the sky.
Fire and Thunder - Southern Ming Fire and Thunder
Between heaven and earth, spiritual fires gathered, and a crimson lightning bolt, wrapped in flames that could burn mountains and boil seas, converged from all directions.
