Chapter 691 The Four Seasons of Reincarnation, Slacking Off
Therefore, Jia Xu's goal was to prevent the Xianbei alliance from losing, but also to prevent them from winning too easily!
Even if we win, we must leave them with some trouble so that they won't pose a threat to Cangzhou behind them!
"Wenhe truly lives up to the high expectations that Jin Yu has placed on him. He is indeed far-sighted and insightful. I admire him."
"In that case, I will proceed as planned, however..."
Upon hearing this, Ancestor Hongyun laughed heartily and praised him.
He then changed the subject, saying, "I possess a unique skill called 'Cloud Hidden Farming Technique.' This technique is the essence of farming, emphasizing following nature and harnessing the power of heaven and earth. When I use this technique, although I do not seek to kill the enemy, severely injuring Wanyan Cangyue is not difficult."
After saying this, Ancestor Hongyun's body trembled slightly, and his red robe fluttered without wind, as if countless streams of air were swirling around him, connecting with his aura and merging into one.
He slowly raised his right hand, lightly tapping his fingertips. A faint red light emanated from his fingertips, instantly merging into the night sky and disappearing.
"The Cloud Concealment Farming Technique emphasizes concealment and leveraging external forces. I can completely conceal my aura between heaven and earth, just like a farmer tilling the fields, silently and quietly. When the time is right, it will be like a thunderclap in spring, striking with certainty."
"With the help of the Four Seasons Reincarnation Technique that I specialize in, it is not impossible to directly injure it severely."
The old master Hongyun explained, his tone revealing his confidence in his own martial arts.
As the two talked, the situation on the battlefield became increasingly intense.
Murong Longcheng and Tuoba Fenglei's cooperation became increasingly seamless. The two attacked and defended in a well-planned manner, struggling to resist Wanyan Cangyue's fierce onslaught.
Meanwhile, the Arhat monk and the Venerable Prajna Samsara were also fighting with all their might, locked in a fierce battle with the heavily injured Priest Buku and the equally wounded Hezhe Shaman.
Just then, the Red Cloud Ancestor suddenly swayed, as if merging into the night, leaving only a faint red shadow that disappeared. Jia Xu and the Six Sword Slaves both focused their gazes intently on the battlefield.
At the same time, his true energy surged, and a desolate and murderous aura spread out. It was the breath of autumn, carrying a hint of coolness, yet containing endless killing intent.
On the battlefield, Murong Longcheng, Tuoba Fenglei, and two old monks from the Tantric sect were engaged in a fierce battle with Wanyan Cangyue. Amidst the flashing swords and thunderous roars, the entire battlefield seemed to be torn in two.
Just then, an inexplicable aura suddenly descended, which was the "Autumn Frost Killing" of the Red Cloud Ancestor.
Wanyan Cangyue was locked in a fierce battle with Tuoba Fenglei when he suddenly felt a chill creeping over him. Startled, he quickly activated a secret technique of shamanism in an attempt to resist this unexpected power.
However, how could an ordinary person withstand the "autumn frost's chilling power" of the Old Ancestor Hongyun?
The chill instantly eroded his protective inner energy, causing his movements to falter slightly.
In that split second, Murong Longcheng and Tuoba Feng seized the opportunity at the same time. The two exerted their strength simultaneously. Murong Longcheng's "Heavenly Dragon Slash" streaked across the night sky like a shooting star, heading straight for Wanyan Cangyue.
Tuoba Feng, on the other hand, was surrounded by intense lightning, as if he had transformed into the supreme god of thunder. He threw a punch, and a storm gathered, the wind from his fist like a dragon, aiming straight for Wanyan Cangyue's heart meridian.
Despite being in dire straits, Wanyan Cangyue remained calm. He roared and swung out his "Spirit Slayer" sword. The sword light was like a dragon, colliding with Murong Longcheng's sword light and Tuoba Feng's fist wind. The three forces tore each other apart, and the battlefield was instantly filled with flying sand and stones, and the sky and earth changed color.
However, at the very moment these three forces intertwined, the figure of the Red Cloud Ancestor appeared behind Wanyan Cangyue like a ghost. With a light exhale from his palm, a true qi full of autumnal energy condensed as if it were a tangible substance, transforming into an invisible sharp sword that pierced straight into Wanyan Cangyue's back.
This is precisely the "Autumn Frost's Desolation" from the "Four Seasons Cycle Technique," which uses the bleak and desolate atmosphere of autumn to deliver a fatal blow.
Wanyan Cangyue felt a chill run down his spine and was greatly alarmed. Although he had tried his best to dodge, the cultivation of the Red Cloud Ancestor was too profound, and this attack still caused cracks in his protective true energy.
Just then, Murong Longcheng and Tuoba Feng's attacks followed one after another. The three forces erupted at the same time, and Wanyan Cangyue, whose protective true qi had been broken by the Red Cloud Ancestor, was finally unable to resist and was directly blasted away.
The seemingly casual strike from Ancestor Hongyun actually contained the profound and exquisite essence of the Four Seasons Reincarnation Technique. The chilling aura of autumn frost condensed into an invisible sword, piercing through Wanyan Cangyue's protective true energy and striking his vital point.
Although Wanyan Cangyue was a high shaman of the Jurchen shamanism with profound cultivation, he still couldn't help but groan and stagger under this attack, spitting out blood from his mouth, clearly suffering serious internal injuries.
However, the Old Ancestor Hongyun, mindful of Jia Xu's intentions, did not seize the opportunity to take his life. Instead, his gaze shifted to the divine blade "Spirit Slayer" in Wanyan Cangyue's hand, as well as the shamanic artifact—an ancient bronze mirror—held by the severely injured and almost powerless priest Buku not far away, and the divine staff tightly gripped by the Hezhe shaman. These three items were all treasures of Jurchen shamanism, containing mysterious and unpredictable power.
At the same time, these artifacts are also the sacred objects used to suppress the inner strength of the Jurchen Shamanism. If these artifacts could be seized, it would be far more painful for the Jurchen Shamanism than the death of one or two late-stage Celestial Shamans.
Moreover, the Yin-Yang School branch under his own son Su Ye follows a similar approach to these so-called shamanistic sects.
Take these three Jurchen shamanic artifacts back with you and see if you can give them to Dongjun under Su Ye's command!
With this in mind, in the ensuing battle, the Old Ancestor Hongyun appeared to be launching fierce attacks, but in reality, he secretly held back his strength, intentionally or unintentionally leaving Wanyan Cangyue a sliver of hope.
His body was filled with the power of true qi, which flowed like spring, summer, autumn, and winter. The power of the four seasons moved at his will, sometimes like a gentle spring breeze, sometimes like the scorching summer sun, sometimes like the autumn wind, desolate and bleak, and finally transformed into the severe winter cold, freezing everything in its path.
The use of this Four Seasons Reincarnation Technique made the atmosphere on the battlefield even more unpredictable.
Although Wanyan Cangyue was severely injured, she gradually found a chance to catch her breath thanks to the deliberate leniency of the Old Ancestor Hongyun.
He roared and, using the secret methods of shamanism, forcibly suppressed his injuries. He brandished the "Spirit Slayer" divine blade in his hand, its light like a dragon, attempting to break through the encirclement.
Upon seeing this, Tuoba Fenglei and Murong Longcheng exchanged a glance, a hint of doubt and dissatisfaction flashing in their eyes. However, they also understood that this was not the time to turn against Ancestor Hongyun.
"Senior Hongyun, what's wrong...?"
Murong Longcheng frowned slightly, his tone tinged with confusion. He flicked his longsword, its light flashing like a dragon, and continued to contend with Wanyan Cangyue while keeping an eye on the actions of the Red Cloud Ancestor.
He knew the strength of this Old Ancestor Hongyun, who was at the half-step limit of the Celestial Realm. If he really wanted to take Wanyan Cangyue's life, he would have done so long ago. Why drag it out like this?
