Chapter 137 Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
Chapter 137 Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea
Gao Lian roared into the walkie-talkie. He no longer needed to worry about whether other areas would be disrupted by the thugs, because he knew who had just attacked him from below.
The moment the announcement was made, the two Hieiyama ninjas knew they had been exposed. They simultaneously launched multiple attacks at the crowd, attempting to cause casualties so they could escape.
But at this moment, dozens of identical small beads appeared beside the crowd, opening up beams of light that blocked all their attacks.
The entire line of tourists, stretching for tens of meters, was protected by the light barrier formed by the beads. At this point, Gao Lian could easily guess what was going on.
Those four beads were clearly placed on the road by the nameless person who initiated the competition!
Only someone with extraordinary abilities like the Nameless Guest could control such a large-scale magical artifact simultaneously.
The riot started by Bihe Ren also attracted the attention of contestants from other areas. Zhang Chulan and his group had just arrived at the top of the mountain after dealing with their attackers when Xu Si received a message from Gao Lian.
They instructed Zhang Chulan and the others, who were also from Nadutong, to be constantly aware that the Hieiyama ninja had infiltrated the contestants.
Zhang Chulan looked at the light screen in the live stream that blocked the ninja's attack and handed it to Ma Xianhong next to him to watch.
"Hey Master Ma, can you tell what this barrier-like thing is?"
Ma Xianhong examined it carefully and said with a solemn expression, "It looks like a kind of magic artifact. My Six Harmony Beads are quite similar to this."
As he spoke, Ma Xianhong raised his hand, and six red beads began to dance in the air.
Under control, the beads formed a plane, and a red light curtain opened up in the plane.
"However, I only have six Six-in-One Beads, which is far less than its quantity."
There were dozens or even hundreds of beads appearing on the screen at a glance, and it's hard to say whether there might be a batch hidden on other roads.
If all the roads in Changbai Mountain were buried with these beads in advance, the number of them would be an astronomical figure!
A hint of doubt flashed through Ma Xianhong's mind. Putting aside the question of what kind of deity could possibly control so many magical artifacts.
In terms of the sheer number of beads required, there is only one known method in the world capable of creating so many magical artifacts: the Divine Refinement Hundred Techniques in his possession.
Could the person behind the scenes also possess his extraordinary abilities?
Xu Si looked at Bihe Ren, who had been captured and brought down the mountain, and clapped his hands at the crowd.
"Alright, don't think about it too much. Baby, be careful about your safety in the upcoming matches. There might be some Hieiyama ninjas mixed in among the contestants. The match is about to start, let's go down and talk about it first."
"So, Fourth Brother, how are we going to get down?"
Zhang Chulan stood by Tianchi Lake, gazing at the huge floating ice in the center of the lake in the distance.
The final venue for the competition was on the ice floes in the center of Tianchi Lake, but these ice floes were still several kilometers away from the shore of Tianchi Lake!
Zhang Chulan pointed at Tianchi Lake and shouted, "And why isn't Tianchi Lake frozen over in this cold weather?!"
Xu Si looked at Tianchi in confusion. Logically speaking, Tianchi should be frozen over at this time of year. He just didn't know why, except for the floating ice in the center, the entire area around it was water.
Just as Zhang Chulan was pondering how to enter the floating ice platform, Ma Xianhong called out to Fu Rong while controlling the Six Harmony Pearl in his hand to directly form a small platform in the air.
Ma Xianhong directly controlled the Six Harmony Pearl, carrying them who had jumped onto the platform and flying towards the center of Tianchi Lake.
Thinking he had found a savior, Zhang Chulan pleaded loudly with Ma Xianhong, "Leader Ma, please take us with you!"
"I can't take it. My Six Harmony Beads aren't big enough. You'll have to figure it out yourselves."
Amidst Ma Xianhong's merciless words, the two figures slowly disappeared into the distance.
Zhang Chulan turned to Xu Si in despair; "Fourth Brother, what do we do now? Can the company provide a hovercraft or something? We can't just swim there, can we? My body probably can't handle swimming in this cold weather."
At least there was a rope along that cliff on Longhu Mountain back then, but now there isn't even a rope left.
Xu Si glanced helplessly at the time on his phone.
"There's no time to spare. The match starts in twenty minutes. If the third brother were here, it would be so convenient. His Nen ability could carry us there directly."
Just as the group was pondering a solution, most of the contestants gradually arrived at the shore of Tianchi Lake.
Xu Si suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "I didn't expect him to come too!"
"Who is it, Fourth Brother?" Zhang Chulan followed Xu Si's gaze and saw a sharp-looking middle-aged man with a yellow cloth bag on his back.
"The current sect leader of Liuyun Sword - Ye Liuyun".
Beside Ye Liuyun was a younger man, presumably his junior.
He looked at the floating ice in the center of Tianchi Lake, waved his hand, and a long sword flew out from the cloth bag on his back.
Ye Liuyun stepped directly onto his longsword and flew towards the floating ice, while the man behind him followed in the same manner on his flying sword.
……
"Wow! Flying on a sword! Is that so cool?"
"Coach! I really want to learn this! Could you teach me?"
Ye Liuyun's move brought the atmosphere in the live stream to its peak.
For the people of this land, being able to fly gracefully on a sword like an immortal is the dream of every young man!
……
Upon seeing this scene, Zhang Chulan recalled Jia Zhengliang from the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. It seemed that Jia Zhengliang, who used the art of controlling objects, had also used a similar technique when crossing a cliff.
"This ability to control objects is really convenient; it can even fly."
Hearing Zhang Chulan's envious tone, Xu Si said irritably, "Let's think about how we're going to get through this."
More and more players have found their own ways to cross the water, with the local swordsman style being the most elegant.
Their swordsmanship traditions seem to include elements of object manipulation, where they fly by riding on flying swords.
A blond, blue-eyed, muscular man attracted everyone's attention; his arms were thicker than an average person's thigh!
He also carried a huge broadsword on his back.
The burly man held his broadsword and gestured towards the floating ice, then suddenly took a running start and hurled the broadsword with all his might towards the center of Tianchi Lake.
Immediately afterward, the burly man leaped off the ground towards the thrown broadsword, catching up with it and lightly stepping onto its surface, flying towards the floating ice along with the sword.
Of course, not every extraordinary person is so flamboyant; some are quite simple and unpretentious.
One of them shouted "Go for it! You're awesome!" at someone with a Northeastern accent.
Then he jumped straight into the water and swam rapidly toward the floating ice.
