Chapter 596 - 595: Heavenly Secret Successfully Concealed (2 Updates)
The decoy wood leaped into the air, hovering above Xuan Chu.
Yun Ran closed her eyes, starting to peel away the aura of this small world surrounding Xuan Chu, as time ticked by.
The sky had already darkened, both Yun Ran and Xuan Chu were extremely patient.
Just then, a crisp ’crack’ sound emerged.
Yun Ran abruptly opened her eyes: "It’s now!"
The array beneath Xuan Chu also started to activate, the Heavenly Secret was successfully concealed, and in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao, that piece of wood was Yun Ran herself.
In an instant, dark clouds gathered, and the Heavenly Thunder rolled.
The decoy wood was immediately locked onto by the Heavenly Dao, and the talisman papers wrapped around it all scattered, guarding the piece of wood filled with Yun Ran’s aura in the middle.
So as not to disturb Xuan Chu who was probing the Heavenly Secret, the wood immediately darted into the sky, attracting the full force of the Heavenly Thunder.
With a crashing sound, a bolt of lightning as bright as day struck ferociously on that piece of wood.
Many of the talisman papers protecting the wood instantly dissipated.
Yun Ran seized the opportunity to throw the token that could open the gate to the Ghost World over.
The gate to the Ghost World, in that moment, opened a small crack.
Yun Ran’s aura instantly penetrated through that small crack, countless ghostly claws stretched out from it, seemingly wanting to tear Yun Ran apart.
Just then, the Heavenly Thunder finished charging and began the second bout of descent.
This second bolt was much thicker than the first, and of a purple-gold color.
Those ghostly claws, when the Heavenly Thunder fell, immediately retracted; those that were slower, instantly turned to nothing upon contact with the thunder.
Although these ghostly claws were of no great use, there were many of them, and they helped block most of the thunder from hitting the decoy wood.
When the remaining thunder struck the decoy wood, all the talismans were consumed, leaving a small crack on the wood.
One more bolt of Heavenly Thunder, and the decoy wood would be completely split in two.
As this thought arose, the third bolt of Heavenly Thunder descended.
With a snap, the decoy wood, following the crack that had appeared earlier, split directly in two.
The aura of Yun Ran that clung to the decoy wood also completely dissipated as it split.
Yun Ran glanced at the white halo outside Xuan Chu’s array, a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes, the Heavenly Secret was successfully concealed.
The decoy wood being struck was merely buying her time.
The Golden Feather masked the last trace of Yun Ran’s aura, even though she sat right there, the Heavenly Dao did not detect her.
The Heavenly Thunder gradually dissipated, and the dark clouds also slowly dispersed, revealing the starlit sky that had been concealed, making the night no longer as dark and heavy.
At this moment, the resentful energy lurking on Yun Ran’s arm began to grow wildly.
The vines that were only around her wrist gradually climbed up to Yun Ran’s shoulder, the flower buds turning from the size of beans to that of pigeon eggs, ready to bloom at any moment.
Just when that resentful energy intended to press on, aiming to pierce through Yun Ran’s heart, an invisible barrier directly halted its growth.
The vines perched on Yun Ran’s shoulder couldn’t grow any further no matter what.
As the two forces clashed, blood slowly oozed from Yun Ran’s mouth, her face quickly turning pale.
Yet Yun Ran paid no mind to the resentful energy taking advantage of her vulnerability, her gaze remained fixed on Xuan Chu.
The Little Paperman protector detected someone approaching from not far away.
"Master, someone is approaching from the southeast direction!"
Yun Ran waved her finger, the Little Paperman received the command and immediately flew over, intending to intercept those individuals.
A distance far for others was merely a blink away for the Little Paperman.
Seeing the convoy appear before her, the leading vehicle was the one that had brought her master here earlier today, a look of distaste crossed the Little Paperman’s face.
It didn’t care who the people were or what their purpose was for coming here.
Anyone appearing here at this moment was definitely up to no good.
A ball of electric sparks suddenly appeared in the Little Paperman’s hand and was directly hurled toward the front of that vehicle.
With a bang.
A huge pit appeared in front of the vehicle, simultaneously affecting the components on the vehicle with electric sparks.
In an instant, all the vehicles encountered malfunctions, the sudden breakdown causing them to overturn while in motion.
Successive sounds of vehicles crashing and the screams of those inside rang out simultaneously.
But it was not over yet.
Normally, the Little Paperman would just scare these people off and be done with it.
But now, with its master carrying out an important task, any disturbance could lead to severe backlash, potentially causing grave injuries or even destroying the foundation entirely.
There was no way it would let these people disturb its master.
Subsequently, numerous electric sparks were hurled, and soon, those crawling out of the vehicles found the ground around them was electrified.
As soon as their feet touched the ground, they would be electrocuted; the experience was utterly worse than death.
Their steps were halted.
The leader, not caring about the blood gushing from his forehead, shouted menacingly into the empty space.
"Who the hell is it? Such a sneaky attack, have the guts to come out and face me one-on-one!"
The Little Paperman remained unfazed by those harsh words.
As the master said, if you can suppress the opponent from a distance, only a fool would relinquish that advantage for a close-quarter battle!
Besides, even in close combat, these people wouldn’t be its match.
The leader’s provocation was utterly ineffective, and just as he wanted to make another step forward to test if the attacker was still around.
The Little Paperman’s electric sparks accurately fell on him.
"Damn it, who the hell likes to indulge in sneak attacks!"
Saying this, the leading man unleashed what appeared to be a bird from his hand.
In a night even partially illuminated, human eyes couldn’t clearly see what it was.
But as luck would have it, the Little Paperman’s eyes were much sharper than human eyes.
Instantly, it recognized the thing that appeared to be a bird was a monster nurtured with resentful energy and yin energy.
For scouting and attacking humans, the monster was indeed unparalleled.
Unfortunately, the monster was truly unlucky, just as it flew out of the electric spark circle the Little Paperman had deliberately crafted.
It was grabbed by the instantaneously teleporting Little Paperman, and with a slight squeeze, the monster dissipated into a wisp of black smoke.
