Chapter 1256

In the darkness, Zhao Lian Yun hears a voice calling her name. She slowly recognizes it as her own, from before she lost it. She recalls her past: her father died during the Imperial Court contest, and she was made a political chip in an arranged marriage, a fate she went against by relying on Ma Hong Yun, a wealthy young miss turned orphan. He once took her to a valley and taught her to shout her name until it echoed back, a comfort from his own lonely childhood now shared with her. Touched, she tried it, and once she shouted loud enough, the valley answered and her mood lifted. ^{ch. 1256}

In the present darkness, the voice keeps calling her name, telling her not to be lost, that heaven and earth will hear her if only she shouts loud enough. It tells her someone is waiting to be rescued, who once stood beside her at that valley. Resolved to save him, she opens her eyes and wakes from her stupor. ^{ch. 1256}

Her body burns with pale blue light from love Immortal Gu, finally active, and her injuries rapidly recover. The light spreads outward and reaches Shi Zheng Yi, restoring him to an unprecedented peak of strength. Zhao Da Niu retreats, terrified by its aura. Shi Zheng Yi thanks Zhao Lian Yun, tells her to leave the rest to him, and shouts down every evildoer as he calls out his immortal killer move, fist of justice, which grows stronger the louder he shouts. ^{ch. 1256}

A giant fist of light rises from his body and strikes Zhao Da Niu, breaking the peak lord’s defensive methods and opening a bloody hole clean through his wide chest. The light goes out of Zhao Da Niu’s eyes and he falls, his body lying motionless on the ground. Several breaths later, his body, soul and immortal aperture turn into pure energy absorbed by the fate reversing sacrificial refinement formation. Shi Zheng Yi raises his fist, celebrating that justice has prevailed. ^{ch. 1256}

In Northern Plains’ licorice regional wall, Fang Yuan’s sword dragon, guided by qi luck sensation, catches up to Ying Wu Xie’s group and calls out to him. The five immortals turn to face him, already braced for the fight. Fang Yuan charges to kill. Shi Nu steps forward to block him, raising his right hand to summon a tall, thick rock wall. Fang Yuan’s dragon breath pierces through it repeatedly, driving a rain of sword light toward the five immortals. ^{ch. 1256}

Hei Lou Lan breathes out small fire birds that intercept the dragon breath. It is a fire path method that surprises Fang Yuan. The birds remind him of Blazing Heaven Demoness’ immortal killer move angry bird, which left an extremely deep impression on him in the Eastern Sea battle, though these fire birds differ from the true angry bird. After her strength path Immortal Gu were sent to Fang Yuan, Hei Lou Lan lacked strength path Gu to support her battle strength and chose fire path in Eastern Sea, which her strength path dao marks do not complement. Blazing Heaven Demoness, feeling extreme guilt toward her, had secretly given her a fire path inheritance she only later, by coincidence, chose to use. Blazing Heaven Demoness’ own Immortal Gu came from Zombie Alliance, secretly Shadow Sect’s and wiped out to feed sovereign immortal fetus Gu; Sixth Hair drew them out of Dark Flow Giant City, and Ying Wu Xie refined them for Hei Lou Lan. With that inheritance and those Immortal Gu, she can almost replicate all of Blazing Heaven Demoness’s methods despite having no fire path dao marks of her own. ^{ch. 1256}

Seeing the birds, Fang Yuan falls pensive. He had known nothing of this transfer until the fire birds appeared. His dragon breath continues, and Tai Bai Yun Sheng quickly wraps the other Gu Immortals in protective cloud rings. ^{ch. 1256}
