Sudden Attack on Iron Eagle Blessed Land (2/2)
Iron Eagle blessed land, only recently taken over by Bai Zu tribe, is still far from Hei tribe’s old prime. Fang Yuan sees at least a hundred eagle nests floating above ground that holds few resources, and realizes Bai Zu tribe raises iron crown eagles and other desolate beasts for treasure yellow heaven’s profits. He means to seize every nest this time. A Bai Zu tribe Gu Immortal shouts for him to stop, and Fang Yuan charges the pursuer, Bai Zu Wei, rank seven leader of the blessed land’s defenders. Bai Zu Wei had sent Hei tribe’s Gu Immortals to guard the resource points, judging the blessed land safe, and Chu Du’s strike has outmaneuvered him. Bearing responsibility as leader, he resolves to defend it even at the cost of his life and meets Fang Yuan’s charge with a ruthless expression rather than dodging. ch. 1170
Fang Yuan reads his opponent’s golden-shining body as a metal path Gu Immortal confident in his defense, and flies backward-left. Sword escape Immortal Gu’s speed is extraordinary, yet he gains no distance, since Bai Zu Wei’s killer move matches him. Judging Bai Zu tribe’s Gu Immortals no weaklings for the rank eight’s nurturing, Fang Yuan uses myriad self to see the man’s investigative methods, and countless phantoms fill half the sky. Bai Zu Wei answers with his own investigative killer move, made by Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, but after several breaths he cannot find Fang Yuan’s true body. His move is good. But familiar face, a technique famously used by Thieving Heaven Demon Venerable, is immensely better. ch. 1170
Fang Yuan’s phantom army breaks eagle nests open everywhere, and the outnumbered young eagles cannot hold them, so nests fall from the sky destroyed. While Bai Zu Wei rushes to save one falling nest, Fang Yuan reveals his true body, grabs another with his giant hand, and stuffs it into his immortal aperture. Furious, Bai Zu Wei charges him, but Fang Yuan slips back into the myriad self army, leaving him to strike at random and bet on a luck that cannot match dog shit luck Immortal Gu and connect luck used on four lucky people. Fang Yuan keeps taking nests. Bai Zu Wei, alone and unable to find him, screams curses that Fang Yuan ignores. These nests were Bai Zu Wei’s own project, left to his authority by a Heavenly Lord Bai Zu who cared nothing for them, and his own best hope of freeing the poor tribe from its money troubles, now ruined. He spits blood, swearing he will not let Fang Yuan off even if he dies, and the hatred in his voice chills Immortal Wang. ch. 1170
Immortal Wang wonders how many nests Liu Guan Yi has taken. He feels only envy that the fury is not aimed at him. Outside, Hao Zhen, Chou Lao Wu and Li Si Chun still fight to get in and learn Immortal Wang dug his own entrance. Bai Zu tribe’s Gu Immortals block their way, and Hao Zhen and the rest all know the bottom line that these few, nurtured by Heavenly Lord Bai Zu, must never be killed. Killing one would make Heavenly Lord Bai Zu an unforgivable enemy, a point Chu Du stressed, though attacking the blessed land or even killing Hei tribe’s own Gu Immortals is fine. United, Bai Zu tribe’s Gu Immortals suppress the three rank sevens despite inferior strength, and Li Si Chun shouts for a retreat. Recalled to defend Lord Wei, Bai Zu tribe’s Gu Immortals leave Li Si Chun to slip in through Immortal Wang’s entrance while Hao Zhen and Chou Lao Wu follow unguarded. ch. 1170
Hao Zhen and Chou Lao Wu hurry in last to claim what resources remain, while Li Si Chun takes a newly built soft jade beach as his own. It holds only a few hundred stones, the largest basin sized, and he curses it as the third poor resource point he has found. Then he remembers the eagle nests and flies back into the sky. Only three nests remain there. Countless Fang Yuan phantoms still divert Bai Zu Wei’s attention while Fang Yuan’s true body hides among them, refusing to come out. ch. 1170
