Chapter 624 - 32: Deep Bond Between Master and Servant
CHAPTER 624: CHAPTER 32: DEEP BOND BETWEEN MASTER AND SERVANT
Little White Jiao dodged in horror as the approaching clouds below changed color and burst into countless thunderbolts. With no way under and surrounded on all sides, Little White Jiao spread its six claws, its dragon tail whipped downward, unleashing Spiritual Energy that disrupted several approaching thunder flashes.
"Can we break out?" Xiao Xian clung tightly to White Flood Dragon’s body.
"I’m afraid not," fear filled Little White Jiao’s eyes as it realized that Zone C might be bound by a formidable confinement. Against such a Heavenly Thunder Cage, it, merely a minor Jiao with little cultivation, was insignificant before the mighty Power of Nature and both human and spiritual beast’s strength.
"I’m asking if you can break out," Xiao Xian reproached herself internally; if she hadn’t asked Little White Jiao to perform Cloud Formation and Rainfall, it wouldn’t have fallen into such dangerous straits.
"Little Master, what are you saying? We must break through this Heavenly Thunder Cage together," Little White Jiao felt a jolt in its heart. Indeed, there had been a fleeting thought; if Xiao Xian weren’t on its back and it had changed its size, perhaps there would still be a chance to evade the thunder flashes.
Although the Heavenly Thunder Cage was fierce, the thunder flashes bore immense Qi but weren’t continuous.
If they could survive a few bursts of thunder flash power, and wait until the Heavenly Thunder Cage’s momentum weakened, they might escape. That thought vanished in a flash. Although once deceitful in its village, since leaving Guizhou with Xiao Xian and absorbing the pure Power of Nature along with the sugarcane seedling, its mind had matured, and prior evil thoughts gradually dissipated.
"White Jiao, you’ve spoken of your past to me, but I never shared mine. Thunder flashes like these are not unfamiliar to me. Maybe I was born with the physique of a lightning rod; when I arrived in this world, it was a bolt of Heavenly Thunder that sent me here. Don’t worry, neither of us will die; at worst, I’ll pass through once again," Xiao Xian stroked Little White Jiao’s scaly back, her palm shimmering like white jade under the flashing thunder light.
Thunder crackled, and Little White Jiao, upon hearing that ghostly female voice, suddenly felt the warmth around its neck vanish.
Centuries of loneliness and the despair from crossing worlds magnified infinitely when that warmth disappeared, "Little Master," White Jiao was terrified, its dragon tail lashing relentlessly, waves of angry Jiao Long energy striking around.
Xiao Xian had already let go, her body quickly plummeting through the clouds, vanishing in the blink of an eye.
A storm surged, tears streamed from the lantern-sized eyes of Little White Jiao. After being a Jiao for so many years, it had forgotten the taste of tears.
The Heavenly Thunder Cage, provoked by the Jiao Long forces, roared louder, and lightning stormed from all directions. Little White Jiao’s body didn’t shrink but surged to twice its size,
"Heaven wishes to destroy me, yet I still fear nothing. Damn the heavens; you act recklessly as a god. Return my little master to me," Little White Jiao’s scales flashed a dreadful cold light, its dragon eyes showing a desperate struggle to the death.
White Jiao’s curse and clamor invited more violent thunder and lightning. An earth-shattering thunder flash came hurtling down, Little White Jiao opened its dragon mouth, soared upward, and the thunder flashes pierced like blades instantly into Little White Jiao’s mouth.
Beside it, surrounded by clouds, Xiao Xian released all the Silver Energy inside her body, slightly slowing her rapid descent.
"To leave, we must break through the Thunder Wall." Xiao Xian summoned the Cloud Ascension Technique, her current level of cultivation allowing her to barely hang in the air, but moving or flying freely was far too forced.
The Heavenly Thunder Cage, consisting of thunder walls on all four sides and a layer of clouds directly from the Xuan Sect, had multiple Thunderstorm Flashes above it, and all around were areas where the thunder and lightning were strongest. To escape, one had only to find the weakest sections of the four thunder walls.
"Spirit Rhinoceros Break," Xiao Xian called out the Spiritual Rhinoceros Scissors, her hands gathering several streams of Spiritual Energy. Under her command, the scissors emanated a formidable enemy-breaking force, crashing towards the eastern wall with a momentum no less fierce than the lightning.
The scissors stopped a meter away from the Thunder Wall, the resistance it met causing Xiao Xian’s body to shudder, a numbing sensation like an electric shock spreading throughout her body.
"No good, the Thunder Qi comes from the east, among the four walls, the east is the sturdiest," Xiao Xian stabilized the Spiritual Energy in her body. That impact had taken seven to eight parts of her energy, significantly depleting her Spiritual Energy.
"East, west, south, north, find the weakest of the four," Xiao Xian looked around, her feet growing heavier as the Cloud Ascension Technique couldn’t last much longer. Losing control would mean falling into the Thunder Clouds.
In the dormitory, Xuerou, upon noticing the anomaly in the sky, impulsively thought of running out several times but restrained herself. She knew the ancient creature in the sky must be related to Xiao Xian.
"Now is not the time to go out; going out would only add trouble for Xiao Xian," a sense of helplessness interwoven in Xuerou’s heart. She turned to look back; Zhang Yiyi was still glued to her computer, completely unaware of what was happening outside.
"Xiao Xian, you must hang in there. Thunderstorm weather can only last for half an hour at most, just survive for half an hour," Xuerou clenched the windowsill, anxiously watching the changes in the sky.
She wished she could jump into the sky immediately, but human power seemed extremely minute in front of the Power of Nature.
The sky of Zone C floated with mushroom-shaped clouds, the remnants all gathering beside the mushroom clouds, emitting bright light intermittently, beast roars, shaking the entire North Campus.
"What kind of roar is that?" Wang Shuai and Ye Heng, among other Advanced Students, felt their hearts trembling down to their souls, causing unending shivers. Such a sound, why would it appear now?(To be continued.
