Chapter 330 - 267: Unstoppable Hydromancy (Part 4)
The chaos of this final battle was overwhelming; those with low cultivation didn’t dare get too close. Even some grandmasters watched cautiously from the shore, not daring to step into the water.
Torrential rain lashed and pulled,
Gu Zhan stood by the water’s edge, feeling a powerful force tugging at him.
"Brother Gu," Nangong Weiyang approached, thrusting the Fangtian Halberd into the ground with force, speaking deeply, "Let’s retreat for now. At this point, we can no longer intervene. After today, you’ll be renowned across the world!"
Previously, everyone had seen Tian Ze leading several grandmasters to besiege Gu Zhan. And now Gu Zhan emerged unscathed while Tian Ze and company were nowhere to be seen—the final outcome was clear.
Nangong Weiyang felt a wave of emotion inside,
Gu Zhan, the last to rise in their generation, had already surpassed them. If Gu Zhan hadn’t already broken through to the grandmaster level, she would suspect that the top spot on the Celestial Pride List could have changed hands.
She was certain it wasn’t that Gu Zhan couldn’t compete with geniuses like Qi Baiyu or Sword One; it was mainly because Gu Zhan had appeared on the scene too briefly. Otherwise, instead of two major righteous Dao geniuses, there would have been three.
Yet, even so,
she now looked at Gu Zhan and felt a tinge of despair,
as Gu Zhan, younger than any of them, had achieved feats that they could only look up to. Being in the same generation as him was not only the misfortune of ordinary people but also of these celestial prodigies.
Gu Zhan glanced at Nangong Weiyang, chuckled slightly, and said, "It’s still not enough."
"Hmm?"
Nangong Weiyang was puzzled. Before she could ask, Gu Zhan suddenly leaped into the water and disappeared in an instant.
"Brother Gu!"
Nangong Weiyang exclaimed in shock but could not see Gu Zhan’s figure.
And in her bewilderment,
a tornado suddenly appeared in the already tumultuous lake, rotating frantically to form a massive whirlpool. The tornado shot into the sky, piercing the clouds, and in an instant surged towards a nearby mountain range.
The mountain range wasn’t very large; most of it was submerged in the lake, leaving only a peak standing like a small island in the lake. Crowded on the now-island-like mountain peak were many people, the flags indicating it was the Demon Dao’s Illusionary Sound Sect.
At that moment,
Nangong Weiyang seemed to realize,
before today’s battle, Gu Zhan had declared before everyone from the Righteous and Demonic Daos that he intended to kill members of the Moon Worship Sect and the Illusionary Sound Sect. Throughout today’s battle, Gu Zhan had indeed slain many from the Moon Worship Sect, but the Illusionary Sound Sect remained elsewhere on the battlefield, avoiding confrontation with Gu Zhan. Few from their ranks fell at his hands.
But now,
as the tornado swept towards the small island,
Nangong Weiyang finally understood!
The world was vast, the rain poured heavily, chaos reigned, and thick rain mist was everywhere.
A terrifying tornado appeared suddenly,
those from the Illusionary Sound Sect were shocked, scrambling to the center of the island for refuge.
"Roar..."
A dragon’s roar erupted suddenly,
a massive water dragon plunged downward from the clouds, its immense dragon head, two to three yards in size, opened its mouth wide, terrifyingly.
Immediately, many who had been watching from the mountain were drawn in by the spectacle, wondering, could Mo Jingzhou still have the strength to deal with the Illusionary Sound Sect?
Although many were aware,
the Illusionary Sound Sect had abducted so many female knights from the Righteous Dao, permeating the Righteous Dao with an endless intent to kill this sect. Yet amidst the intensity of the battle, how could anyone spare a thought for retribution?
The people of the Righteous and Demonic Daos were stunned,
but none were more panicked than the Illusionary Sound Sect.
They had chosen a secluded island with no Righteous Dao presence, relishing their solitude, only to suddenly face such an assault?
"Attack together!"
The sect leader of the Illusionary Sound Sect, a grandmaster, shouted aloud, then unveiled a massive Golden Body Dharma Aspect, a giant lion’s head gleaming with golden light, pressing down like a towering mountain. Primordial Qi surged, its thunderous roar striking fear into the hearts.
