The Star Train's Journey Through the Heavens
Chapter 113: The 36 Stratagems - Retreat is the Best Option?
Chapter 113 The best of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is to flee?
The tail circled around the Seven Star Sealing Gourd, transforming into a pair of large hands that grabbed at Huanlong.
Huanlong sneered, thinking he was the most powerful fragment among the shards of Liaoyuan?
She wouldn't even care about the rebirth of Liaoyuan now, let alone a mere part of Liaoyuan.
Huanlong, resisting the suction force of the Seven Star Sealing Spirit Gourd, slightly shifted his body, conjured a tail, and lashed it out, sending it flying towards the Seven Star Sealing Spirit Gourd.
"Fuck!"
With a curse from its tail, it was powerless against the powerful suction and was instantly sucked into the gourd.
"Grandpa Tail!" Huo Huo exclaimed in surprise.
Meng Huaifeng covered his face. "Are you kidding me?"
Jing Yuan then slashed at Huanlong with several more sword strikes.
Huanlong dared not vent his anger on Meng Huaifeng, fearing that he would be controlled again in public. He was also powerless to stop everyone. The power of destruction blocked the suction of the gourd and instantly crashed into the Jianmu seal.
The powerful seal could not stop Huanlong, who directly entered the seal!
Danheng transformed back into human form and continued to break the seal with a cold expression.
"Lord Crow, quickly release Master Tail!" Huo Huo ran to Crow's side and asked with concern.
The crow stopped inputting imaginary energy, the gourd's suction stopped instantly, and its tail flew out of the gourd, grumbling.
"Just like that sword, if I give this gourd to General Jingyuan, can it directly absorb Huanlong?" Meng Huaifeng asked.
"No, the Seven Star Sealing Spirit Gourd has a limit to its absorption power; that was already at its maximum. The main function of sealing magic treasures has always been to seal and contain the spirit of the year, usually by weakening the spirit of the year before it can be absorbed. The Seven Star Sealing Spirit Gourd's suction power is already top-notch among all sealing magic treasures," Cold Crow replied.
Meng Huaifeng shook his head. These things from the Ten Kings Division were indeed somewhat useful, but not very useful.
Although the Spirit-Slaying Coin Sword caused astonishing damage to Huanlong, it was only because of Meng Huaifeng's strong control.
Jing Yuan is not skilled with a sword. When he does use a sword, he can only unleash 80-90% of his strength. Although the reduction may not seem like much, it is extremely terrifying when facing a powerful force like the Commander.
If Huanlong is on guard, it will be difficult for Jingyuan to inflict actual damage on Huanlong with his sword. In the end, the result might not be as good as hitting her a few more times with his array blade.
After all, the special attack of the Spirit Slaying Coin Sword can only be unleashed when it hits Huanlong's body. In the clash between the power of destruction and the power of hunting, the Spirit Slaying Coin Sword cannot double Jingyuan's attack.
On the contrary, the attack power was reduced because of using a weapon that he was not good at.
Huo Huo resealed the tail. Xing frowned, walked up to the tail, and smashed it on the head with a baseball bat.
"You brat! What are you doing?" A furious # symbol appeared on Tail's forehead as he roared.
"Strange, it should hit!" Xing was completely baffled.
"I'm sealed now! You little coward, break the seal for me! I'll show this bastard the power of Suiyang!" Tail roared furiously.
"Tail, don't be angry, don't argue with an idiot." March 7th hurriedly pulled on Tail.
"You're the one who's stupid," Xing retorted.
On March 7th, an elbow strike landed on Xing's stomach, causing Xing's eyes to bulge out instantly.
"Hit her, hit her hard! Little girl, I have faith in you. If you ever need anything in the future, I'll definitely help you!" Tail said, feeling relieved.
"Tail, let me ask you a question. What are the limitations of your possession by the Suiyang spirit?" Meng Huaifeng patted his tail and asked.
Meng Huaifeng suddenly realized that if Huanlong directly possessed Ji Zijie and Dan Heng, wouldn't they explode?
Why didn't Huanlong do that?
The Ten Kings were well-versed in this matter, and without hiding anything, they said directly, "Our Suiyang clan can instantly and completely control those with weaker spiritual power. For those with slightly stronger spiritual power, we can only follow their desires, guide them slowly, and eventually completely control them."
“Normally, the stronger one’s physical strength, the stronger one’s mental strength. With Huanlong’s strength, controlling someone like you instantly is not a problem. But for people like them, it’s a bit more troublesome. They can’t be completely controlled, especially when they are full of hostility and vigilance.”
The tail first pointed to Meng Huaifeng and Huo Huo, and then to Ji Zi and Dan Heng.
"What about me? What about me?" March 7th asked hurriedly.
"I don't know. After all, I'm not the Commander. This is all I can confirm." The tail conjured two hands and spread them out.
In other words, she and Xing might be completely controlled instantly, or they might have some ability to resist? March 7th tilted her head, what's the difference between this and not knowing?
"Knowing this is enough," Meng Huaifeng said. It seems he needs to be even more careful and wary of Huanlong's true form directly possessing him.
Holding the Spirit-Slaying Golden Coin Sword, Jing Yuan looked at the train crew and asked, "Does anyone here have a skill with swords?"
Jing Yuan also realized that using the Spirit-Slaying Coin Sword was somewhat counterproductive.
Whether you use Huanlong yourself or not, you'll still be mindful of yourself; there's not much difference.
Giving the Spirit-Slaying Coin Sword to someone else would allow Huanlong to be on guard against one more person, which would be more effective.
No one spoke, but March 7th hesitantly raised his hand.
"How is Miss March's swordsmanship? Has she grasped the essence of swordsmanship?" Jing Yuan asked with delight.
“I can learn that,” said March 7.
Jing Yuan was both amused and exasperated: "If Miss Sanyue wants to learn, I can arrange for someone to teach you later, but it's probably too late now."
In the end, Jing Yuan sighed helplessly. No one was skilled with a sword, so it seemed he would have to use it himself. Perhaps he should have brought Yan Qing along.
On the current Immortal Ship, besides Jing Yuan, the envoy, the top-tier Destiny Walker Fu Xuan can barely be considered one, and there are no others.
Yanqing is already a high-level combatant on the Immortal Ship. Although he is not as good as Xinghe and Sanyueqi from the train crew, he can still barely participate in the battles of the messengers.
Xueyi and Hanya, the two representatives of the Ten Kings Division, are slightly weaker in combat than Yanqing.
……
Inside the Jianmu seal.
It turned into a will-o'-the-wisp again so quickly?
Is the Great Lord of Extinction really that great?
Dan Shu secretly despised him, but dared not show it.
"How much longer?" Huanlong asked anxiously.
“With my catalysis, the Jianmu tree will sprout in a maximum of three hours,” Dan Shu said.
Three hours?
We simply can't wait any longer!
Even if it takes over the body of the king of medicine, it won't last that long.
If it weren't for that damned Meng Huaifeng, things might have been different. Huanlong harbored a deep resentment.
Meng Huaifeng's methods of control could easily be described as those of a half-commander.
Or perhaps he was half a Pleasure Envoy.
It lacks the power of a Commander-level being, but possesses methods equivalent to that of a Commander-level being.
A half-commander and a commander plus several top-tier destiny walkers are not the same thing at all.
Although she couldn't deal with several top-tier Destiny Walkers in a short time, the influence they could have on her was extremely limited, serving only as a restraining force.
On the contrary, Meng Huaifeng was able to truly and completely influence her, allowing the other envoy to launch a full-scale attack without worrying about missing.
At this point, achieving the goal is virtually impossible.
Huanlong was heartbroken; the perfect physical body he had planned for so long had just vanished!
Now we can only settle for the next best thing.
I find the abundant power contained in this Jianmu Xuan Gen (a type of tree) quite tempting!
Indecisiveness leads to disaster!
Huanlong immediately made up his mind, no longer waiting for the Jianmu tree to sprout, and directly used the abundant power contained in the Jianmu Xuan Gen to create a physical body for himself.
While it certainly can't compare to the fully formed body created by the Jianmu tree, it should be enough to last for several hundred years.
These few hundred years are more than enough time for her to restart her plan on Luofu and allow Jianmu to be reborn. "Huanlong, what are you doing? Stop it! If you do this, it will take even longer for Jianmu to regenerate!" Dan Shu's expression changed drastically, and he glared at her angrily.
"You little pawn, still dreaming? The plan is doomed to fail; we can only try to make up for the losses." Huanlong didn't care about Danshu's thoughts at all.
The secret teachings of the Medicine King are completely useless now.
"Damn it!" Dan Shu's expression changed repeatedly. What was her purpose in doing all this?
Why risk everything just to make the Jianmu tree grow?
Three hours, just three hours!
Compared to the long lifespan of the Xianzhou people, three hours seem both so short and so long.
Three hours—there was definitely hope, there was absolutely hope!
How could a supreme ruler who could destroy everything not last three hours?
Perhaps, but Huanlong obviously wouldn't risk his life for something with such a low probability.
Although Huanlong is the Destruction Envoy, he himself is very afraid of losing his life.
She has plenty of time; she can plan slowly and work hard.
Not worth it, not at all.
Dan Shu was like a gambler who had bet everything and lost everything.
"Does the Great Khan really not want to stop your actions?" Dan Shu asked in a hoarse voice.
Huanlong remained unmoved, engrossed in customizing his character's appearance, and paid no heed to the situation.
Make it a little bigger, make the legs a little longer...
"Ruomu, pray for transformation!"
Dan Shu's scepter lit up, and he slammed it heavily onto the ground!
Countless wooden spikes bloomed continuously beneath Huanlong's feet, covering the entire space.
"Crack!"
The wooden spikes did not cause any damage to Huanlong in her spirit form. A burst of destructive power flashed from Huanlong's body, and all the wooden spikes instantly turned to ashes. Dan Shu was also hit hard and sent flying.
Huanlong casually added two more destructive forces. The first one brought Dan Shu to the brink of death, but the power of abundance stubbornly kept her alive. The second one instantly sent Dan Shu down the same path as Mu Ci.
It must be said that the phantom in its spiritual state is indeed lacking in attack methods, or rather, the traveler with a bountiful destiny has a tenacious vitality.
"Ridiculous."
……
More than ten minutes later, Dan Heng coldly reminded him, "The seal is about to be broken!"
Huo Huo has redistributed the amulets to everyone.
Meng Huaifeng looked in the direction of Jianmu Xuangen, wanting to see just how big the real Great Illusion was.
"Danheng, Miss Himeko, please help me hold off Huanlong. The rest of the train crew, please seal the Star Core first. I have a feeling that Jianmu is about to be reborn," Jingyuan instructed.
With Danheng's final strike, the space around the Jianmu Xuangen twisted, and the seal was finally broken!
At first glance, Meng Huaifeng did not see the 'big' Huanlong that he had been longing for.
As the seal was broken, a dark green figure instantly flew out from the location of the Jianmu Xuangen and soared into the air. The figure was not huge, only slightly taller than an ordinary person.
"I admit defeat this time, but once the Starry Sky Train leaves, I wonder if the Luofu Immortal Ship will be able to escape my clutches next time?" Huanlong's voice came from the sky.
Is this truly the messenger of destruction? He ran away so decisively!
Jing Yuan was greatly surprised and hurriedly took to the air to chase after Huan Long.
Meng Huaifeng attempted to delay Huanlong by using the original map teleportation, but found that the teleportation failed.
Clearly, Huanlong has learned her lesson and has disrupted the surrounding space, rendering her spatial skills ineffective.
Meng Huaifeng hurriedly used his Soul-Capturing Camera to take a picture of Huanlong.
"Son of a bitch!"
With a final, angry curse, Huanlong's figure vanished completely from everyone's sight.
A photograph was generated in front of Meng Huaifeng.
Even when the illusion is moving at extremely high speed, the resulting photo remains incredibly clear.
In the photo, Huanlong is seen making a flying pose, her hands forming a heart shape. She is dressed in gold and dark green, exuding elegance and nobility. Although her skin tone is somewhat dark, it has a unique charm.
93 points!
With such a high rating, tearing it up won't cause any harm.
Saved it.
Meng Huaifeng added the photo to the ticket space.
“Let’s go seal the Star Core first,” Himeko said.
With Ji Zi and Dan Heng's help, the mere star core was easily sealed.
Meng Huaifeng scratched his head, feeling that it had started strong but ended weakly.
The original script, Huanlong, incorporated the abundant power of the complete Jianmu tree, which is why it expanded to this extent.
Currently, it has only integrated the incomplete and abundant power of the Jianmu Mystic Root, as well as Meng Huaifeng, an extraordinary assistant.
Huanlong must be crazy to confront them head-on.
As Huanlong said, personally taking action was not in line with her destructive aesthetics, so a temporary retreat was perfectly reasonable.
Not long after Ji Zi and Dan Heng sealed the star core, Jing Yuan descended from the sky.
"Didn't catch up?" Meng Huaifeng asked.
"We couldn't catch her; she got away," Jing Yuan said, shaking his head with some regret.
If she weren't so cowardly, there would be a very good chance of capturing her alive.
It can be called a great victory.
pity……
"The fact that the Immortal Ship was able to thwart the Great Lord of Annihilation's conspiracy at such a small cost is entirely thanks to everyone on the Starry Sky Train. Once the aftermath is settled, the Immortal Ship will surely reward you handsomely!" Jing Yuan said, clasping his hands in a fist salute to the crowd.
"General Jingyuan, you're too kind. The train crew can't just ignore this," Ji Zi said with a smile.
"Haha, I've already arranged for a celebration banquet to be prepared for everyone. It should be ready by the time we get back. Please come in," Jing Yuan invited.
"Yay! We're going to have a big meal!" March 7th cheered.
“It’s good to prohibit it,” Meng Huaifeng said.
"Yay!" Xing declared, indicating that rules are meant to be broken.
"By the way, I saw online that Xianzhou's specialty food is soda soy milk. Will it be served at the celebration banquet?" March 7 asked curiously.
“This… is possible.” Jing Yuan was somewhat surprised, but reminded him, “However, I don’t recommend that you all try it.”
"No, I want to drink it!" Xing said.
"Alright, I'll have someone prepare some soda soy milk," Jing Yuan replied.
"Although it doesn't seem like anything good, I'll still try it," Meng Huaifeng said hesitantly. Without tasting it, he had no right to comment.
