Chapter 443 Language Of The Mythical Creatures
The shock and fear that came from that realization made it act with even more desperation as it twisted and turned its body in a bid to overturn the turtle dragon and even take a bite out of it.
However, with a part of its body paralyzed, the strength it could release coupled with the coordination of its body was at a dissonance.
The sudden loss of its tail, coupled with the shock it brought, affected its fighting abilities, as it was no more than a hysterical beast that was about to lose all reason.
Wei Ying quickly grabbed the next cyan wooden array sword and moved further up the body of the turtle dragon.
Though even if she was moving up, she was still within the lower region.
Just like before, a blue rune appeared on the turtle dragon, which pulled in a part of the Ba She\'s body and immobilized it just like before.
Wei Ying formed a quick seal and stabbed the sword, which melted and turned into a vine knot anchoring that part of the Ba She to the ground.
Immediately after numerous glyphs appeared on the body of the Ba She just like earlier paralyzing it, except this time the range of the glyphs seemed to have doubled. It hit the 1200-meter mark before it finally stopped.
The Ba She went hysterical on realizing it had yet lost sensation to more parts of its body. It writhed and turned with so much force that it started bleeding as it tore its flesh from the force of the commotion.
Dai Chen, Zhang Qingge, and Mo Liwei stepped in, and flooded it with attacks to negate its movements, especially closer to the region Wei Ying was headed to.
Thanks to their help she was able to smoothly stab in another wooden sword, increasing the area of paralysis.
The fourth one soon followed, then the fifth, by the time it reached the fifth, half of the body of the Ba She had already been paralyzed, and a blue vine note that had countless glyphs in it, appeared on its skin.
It was only after the sixth one had been placed did the smooth journey they had been making come to an abrupt end.
After the sixth wooden sword had been stabbed, the Ba She went dazed and stopped moving for a brief second.
It was then that a red rune almost similar to the one that had appeared in the blood-red spears appeared in its eyes, and then the opal that had disappeared under the multitude of red scales finally appeared.
It instantly melted upon making an appearance, 3/4 of the red scales left on it upper body all flickered with an intense crimson light that fed into the melted opal.
A thorn-like rune instantly appeared on the Ba She\'s body from its head as it quickly made its way downwards.
Dai Chen and the rest, even though they didn\'t know what the red thorn\'s purpose was, decided rather than find out, it was best to intercept.
They attacked it to try and stop it in its tracks, but every time their attacks fell, the thorn would disappear deeper into the Ba She\'s flesh, then reappear a second later, away from the attack slowly making its way to the blue glyphs that were in its lower half.
Yang Qing increased his output of the white flames while he reduced the amount of spiritual qi he released to try and stop the red thorn. While the white yang flames seemed to have an effect, it was only slightly.
Yang Qing was already spent so even the effects of his spells had dropped slightly, and he could abandon all caution and pour everything into the yang-white flames since he still needed to support the turtle dragon which was their main attacking force.
Well, I only need to delay the thorn long enough for senior Wei Ying to pierce the sixth sword, with that three-quarters of its body will be paralyzed, even if the seventh fails, dealing with a quarter will be easily manageable even with all of us at our last qi reserves, and we still have that..
Yang Qing\'s gaze turned briefly to a dark object above them that made it seem like the sun during a solar eclipse.
It floated there unassumingly. But that unassuming object was a top-tier ascendant-grade treasure they had used to seal the space and even contained the force of their attacks within the territory of the Ice Emerlad Sect.
It was fashioned over a tiny part of the kun peng in its kun form. It had the ability to seal space and also act as a barrier.
If worst comes to worst they could use their medallion and unlock its full abilities and use it on the Ba She, however, that was a last resort because their medallions would be temporarily rendered useless for using them to forcibly activate a top-tier ascendant grade treasure. Which would then mean, they would lose the life-saving trump card embedded in it.
Other than its integral functions tied to the courtroom, the medallion also served as a defensive treasure. It could block one full-blown attack from a quasi-soul formation expert. The user didn\'t even have to activate it or use their own qi to trigger it, making it one of the best life-saving treasures they could have, but if they used it to activate the ascendant-grade artifact, the medallion would lose the energy required to trigger its life-saving defense.
"Things are not yet dire, there is no need to worry about it now and should focus on what i can do at the moment.." Yang Qing thought as he pushed those pessimistic thoughts to the back of his mind.
Yang Qing\'s white yang flames managed to delay the red thorns long enough for Wei Ying to stab the sixth wooden sword into the Ba She.
Just like before, the Ba She was first anchored to the ground, and then the bluevine glyphs appeared on its body, rapidly traveling towards its upper half.
However unlike before the glyphs only managed to travel for about 600 meters before they halted in their tracks.
The red thorns branched out to form a barricade, then the worm-like black glyphs appeared on them, triggering the thorns to move forward toward the bluevine glyphs.
Upon making contact, the bluevine glyphs started getting corroded by the black glyphs. One glyph after another started crumbling down replaced by the red thorn.
"How?!" Wei Ying had an incredulous look on her face when she saw her handiwork being broken through so easily.
The vortex vine seal was a blue-grade formation she had created with the help of some of the gold-grade formation masters from the formation hall.
Thanks to their assistance, the formation was one of the biggest trump cards she had in her arsenal. By itself, the formation array could be considered to be at the low tier, but its grade was not stagnant and could be elevated considering what core treasure she used to anchor the array.
The array was built with the workings of the bluevine turtle in mind. That spirit beast was mercurial in nature. It was reserved, kept to itself and one might even think it docile, however it had another side to it. It could be considered an assassin of the ocean.
It had top-tier camouflaging abilities, and along with that, it had one of the most terrifying binding abilities. It sneaks around and binds its target, sealing not only their movement but their qi and paralyzing them, leaving the target essentially undefended.
Its binding was swift, unlike how Wei Ying\'s was going. If a real bluevine turtle had been here, it would have bound the Ba She in the time it took to blink an eye, and it would have swallowed it just as fast.
With Wei Ying using a piece of a shell from the bluevine turtle, elevated the vortex seal power to the top tier of blue-grade formation since the core material was from an eighth-grade bluevine turtle, and because Wei Ying had fashioned the array from the abilities of a bluevine turtle it made drawing power from its shell seamless.
Thanks to that she could exert the formation to produce the power of a middle-stage palace realm cultivator, which was why she had been able to bind the Ba She so fast, but the retaliation of the Ba She surprised her. The fact that it could forcibly erase the binding, meant its might had essentially stepped into the late stages of the palace realm.
The blue glyphs were eaten away by the red thorn, and the 600 meter ground they had gained, had been eaten away to the 400 meter mark.
Wwu Ying on seeing this, hurriedly took out a blue milky white pearl that was in the shape of an egg. It had crystal wavey lines that had a mystical charm to it.
Wei Ying had a pained look on her face as she crashed the pearl into particles which she then used like ink with her index finger as a quil and started scribbling something onto the last sword.
Whatever she was doing seemed to be taking a toll on her. She had just written seven characters, but writing each of those seven characters made veins from her forehead down to her hand throb. By the time she wrote her second character, the flesh on her index finger burst open. The blood that was produced from it was immediately swallowed by the blade like it was a ravenous mouth.
Despite the pain that she seemed she was on , she continued until she wrote the last character.
The moment it was finished the sword hummed as a wave of spiritual qi that had mystical charm to it funnelled into the sword lighting up the seven characters.
Wei Ying used whatever strength she had left in her arm to launch the sword towards the spot occupied by sixth sword.
As if triggering a chain reaction, the other five sword anchors resonated with it as they released a piercing blue light. The glyphs combined and reformed into five of the inscrutable characters Wei Ying had drawn on the seventh sword.
A mythical bestial cry was produced from those formed characters. Even without knowing what beast that cry came from, all who heard it intrinsically knew what that cry meant.
[DEVOUR][INSANTIABLE HUNGER]
The cry made it seem like whatever beast it came from could devour the whole world and all of its lifeform and still remain unsatisfied.
"Senior sister Wei Ying has even mastered the language of the Taotie?!" Yang Qing wondered in shock.
