Floating Immortal Order

Chapter 67: Summon Rain

Chapter 67: Summon Rain!

Chen Xingzhou’s expression was grave. Even after the bloody maw retreated back into the water, he didn’t loosen up one bit. He stayed where he stood in a guarded manner.

From Chen Xingzhou’s left side, Wang Jun said, “Senior Martial Brother Chen, the mission jade slip only said that there would only be three water monsters, two fish monsters, and one serpent monster. Just now, which one was that?”

Chen Xingzhou took out the mission jade slip and briefly swept his consciousness through it before replying, “That was probably the serpent monster. It likes to eat humans, and after all this time, it couldn’t leave Jade Water Lake, so it must have been starving.”

The information for small-scale missions wasn’t recorded into the jade identity tablets. It always came in a specialized mission jade slip, which was meant to contain detailed explanations.

Back in the day, the lake deity had used the lake’s divine seal to appoint those three water monsters as monster generals. The other water monsters had long scattered and gone their separate ways, so there were only these three remaining. They were bound to this place by the divine power of heaven and earth. If it weren’t for this, they would have abandoned their identity as monster generals a long time ago and left Jade Water Lake forever.

This time, the strongest of them, the serpent monster, came over as soon as it saw people because it was beyond starving. After all, from day to day, it normally survived by eating aquatic animals that had no spiritual awareness. Now that living beings abundant with spiritual energy had shown up, how could it hold itself back? It impulsively went for a bite and immediately ripped off half of that round-faced youth’s body to appease its hunger.

Wang Jun took several steps to the left and nodded after making eye contact with Chen Xingzhou. Along with Ge Song, the three of them formed a triangular formation with everyone else in the middle. Wang Jun spoke up and said, “Junior Martial Brothers, you’ve all seen the situation. The serpent monster won’t retreat until it’s full. If things continue like this, we will all die in the lake.”

Wang Jun’s expression at this point was so fake that it was almost comical. Their true purpose wasn’t to fight the serpent monster, but to preserve their own strength as much as possible.

No one there was a complete idiot. Seeing how the three peak Sea of Qi stage disciples were surrounding them and the way that the round-faced youth died, they all seemed to finally realize something, and their expressions changed dramatically.

Li Dan’s expression was ugly, and for a while he couldn’t even find the words to speak.

A youth stepped out from the group, his face ashen. “Just now, how did Zhang Shuo die? Did you get him killed, Senior Martial Brother Chen?”

Chen Xingzhou glanced at him, the corners of his mouth lifting into a smile. “Could it be that you didn’t even see the situation clearly? Did you cultivate idiot qi instead of profound qi?”

A cold look flashed through his eyes. It was as if the gentle, mild face he showed while on Morning Dew Peak was that of a completely different person.

The other attendant, Ge Song, had been silently standing there from the beginning, not giving off much of a presence. As it turned out, he was a silent, ruthless person.

Without a single utterance, he extended his hand and a pike Spirit Tool appeared, glimmering with a dark purple sheen. He stabbed out and pierced that youth who just spoke right in the heart, causing blood to splash dramatically. Blood dribbled from his mouth, rendering that disciple unable to speak for eternity.

At that very moment, the serpent monster happened to appear once again above the waterless region created by Parting Water Pearl. It gnashed jaws as it reached in, frightening everyone with its sharp, densely-packed teeth.

Ge Song swung his pike, throwing the impaled youth, who was still alive, straight up into the air above. As his body flew through the air, his face was filled with endless despair and resentment.

The serpent monster opened its sinister mouth wide and snapped the youth up whole. A loud gulping sound could be heard as it swallowed the youth without even chewing.

Wang Jun cupped his hands in praise and said, “A heroic performance, Senior Martial Brother Ge! You really fed that serpent monster as if it was your own housepet.”

Now, there were only 9 newcomer disciples remaining; 7 men and 2 women. Among them was a quiet and attractive black-clothed girl with pretty facial features. Her small face was pale, invoking pity from the others. She said in a tender voice, “Senior Martial Brother Chen, please don’t kill me. I’ll do anything.”

Chen Xingzhou checked her out from top to bottom and nodded. “Okay, you can come over here. It just so happens that one of the slave girls at my house died a few days ago. When we go back, you’ll fill that vacancy perfectly.”

Wang Jun wasn’t to be outdone, however. He fixed his gaze on the other girl among the group, who was dressed in white.

That white-clothed girl could only be considered somewhat delicate and pretty, but her figure was excellent, with two big, ripe melons protruding from her well-endowed chest. Her face was turning deathly pale as despair filled her eyes.

Wang Jun walked up to the white-clothed girl and grabbed her arm, pulling her into his embrace. As he forcefully caressed and fondled her big melons, he laughed and said, “Don’t worry, Junior Martial Sister, I’ll protect you.”

The white-clothed girl looked like she was about to say something, but in the end, she couldn’t. In the end, she let Wang Jun do as he pleased, and her originally bright and intelligent gaze gradually became numb and glazed over.

Ge Song suddenly said in a heavy tone, “Senior Martial Brother Chen, the serpent monster still hasn’t left.”

Chen Xingzhou’s complexion turned grave once more. “This serpent monster is much stronger than those two fish monsters. There’s no need for us to waste energy fighting head on. Junior Martial Brother Wang, feed it another treat.”

Wang Jun turned his gaze to Xu Disheng and said with a smile on his face, “Hey, kiddo. Didn’t I give you face back at Morning Dew Peak? Huh? Don’t you regret not being respectful to me from the start?”

His nasty smile made it seem as if he was looking at Xu Disheng like he was a fish on a chopping block.

Then again, it made sense. The three of them were peak Sea of Qi stage disciples with Spirit Tools. In their struggle, could these newcomer disciples who were all at the early Sea of Qi stage really make any waves? The other several disciples were already silent, with ashen, defeated expressions on their faces. The outcome of the others trying to rebel against them was still vivid in their minds. At this point, they could only silently pray that they wouldn’t be the next one to be tossed into the belly of the serpent monster.

Xi Jingshan had his head lowered, as if he wasn’t listening to what was going on around him.

Li Dan was already on the verge of breaking down. His gaze was scattered and disheveled, making it clear that his ability to bear stressful situations was extremely poor.

Xu Disheng looked at the nasty smile spread across Wang Jun’s face, then smiled right back.

With Xu Disheng’s red lips and white teeth, and his long black hair tied back with a jade band, his features were extremely handsome. When he grinned, the entire waterless space created by the Parting Water Pearl seemed to brighten up a bit.

Even the gaze of the black-clothed girl standing next to Chen Xingzhou was captivated by him.

The youth smiled and said, “Weren’t you wondering what those black lines on my Daoist robe were? Then let me show you now.”

Before Wang Jun could respond, he saw the green Daoist robe wrapped around the youth slowly start changing. The green gradually faded into a pure black color, and the originally rather short hem of the robe became longer. The black lines that were originally on the Daoist robe transformed into dazzling threads of gold that traced the edges of the Daoist robe.

In the end, the standardized Daoist Robe Spirit Tool transformed into a long, pure black silk robe with gilded edges that lined the youth’s fair, handsome figure.

Xu Disheng rubbed the edge of the black and gold silk and muttered, “I’ve nourished this Soul Vessel Daoist Robe for a while now, and it’s finally taken its full form. From now on, I will call you the Soul Suppressing Vestment. From now on, you will accompany me to extinguish all of my enemies.”

Everyone was stunned by this transformation. When they saw the threads of gold appearing on Xu Disheng’s Daoist robe, they all found it extremely mystical.

As an elite peak Sea of Qi stage disciple, Chen Xingzhou was the first to regain his senses. He said in a cold tone, “Wang Jun, this guy is strange. Hurry up and get this over with!”

Wang Jun seemed to be enraged by the provocation. He roughly groped the soft, supple melons in his hands one more time, completely callous to the girl’s delicate and tearful expression. Then, he stepped away and summoned a revolving green profound qi in his hands, which was clearly some type of extremely powerful technique. He spat with hatred dripping from his voice, “That day at Morning Dew Peak, Senior Martial Brother Chen blocked this one for you. But this time, I’ll have you taste its full force. Flameheart Incantation!”

A ball of green flame condensed in his hand. As soon as it blazed into existence, he threw it straight towards Xu Disheng.

Chen Xingzhou and Ge Song’s expressions were unchanged, as they were aware of the might of the Flameheart Incantation. In their eyes, they already seemed to see the scene of Xu Disheng turning into a blowing pile of ashes.

Xu Disheng didn’t even look at the green flame. He just moved his slender fingers, twisting them into an extremely complicated hand seal. “Summon Rain.”

The second scripture of Azure Ocean, Summon Rain! This technique could only be cultivated at the Sea of Qi stage!

Right after he uttered those two words, the entire lake seemed to pause for a moment before returning to normal.

By the time the green flame approached, the Soul Suppressing Vestment had already summoned a translucent black barrier that enveloped Xu Disheng’s body. The green flame, which was packed with explosive power, was directly destroyed the moment it made contact with the black barrier. It became several pitiful wisps of smoke and embers, which either dissipated into the atmosphere or were extinguished upon contact with the muddy silt of the lake bed.

Now that the Soul Vessel had thoroughly taken shape, it actually had incredible defensive power!

The people standing around didn’t even have time to be surprised, as they already began to feel a deadly aura on their skin. Profound cultivators were extremely sensitive to this particular feeling, which would only appear the moment they were faced with a danger that truly threatened their life.

Wang Jun subconsciously looked up and exclaimed in fear, “Senior Martial Brothers! Above us!”

Chen Xingzhou and his two attendants didn’t even know when a drop of cyan water had appeared above each of their heads. It was already slowly falling down towards them.

Ge Song reacted the fastest. He immediately rolled out of the way, dodging the tiny droplet of rain as if it were an attack.

Out of the three of them, the one that Xu Disheng was the most wary of was Ge Song. The power of the Pike Spirit Tool in his hands was extremely great, and it was strong enough to break through the defenses of his Soul Suppressing Vestment. After all, the Soul Suppressing Vestment had just finished thoroughly taking shape, and it was still at an early stage of maturity.

But how could he just let him go that easily?

The cyan droplet of water followed Ge Song, accelerating as it drew closer. In the end, Ge Song charged out of the waterless space and into the water of the lake in his unwillingness to receive the water droplet head on!
