Chapter 1390

Reverse flow protection seal reflects Finger Wind Dragon back at Wu Yong, but he has already prepared Yin Wind Ghost Sickle Hand and grabs the dragon, which struggles for several breaths before breaking apart. The move has a further transformation, yin wind rope, meant to capture Gu Immortals alive. Feng Jiu Ge judges this new move clearly more powerful than the dragon, thinks a grab from it too miserable to imagine, and knows Fang Yuan’s timely interference spared him facing both at once. Wu Yong’s expression darkens. Fang Yuan’s interference had forced him to spend that move on the dragon instead, wasting it and wrecking the plan. He had spent great effort preparing that move to capture Feng Jiu Ge alive, hoping to boost his fame, avoid a full break with Central Continent, and extort Heavenly Court for the Immortal Gu it took from the super Gu formation. ^{ch. 1390}

Wu Yong reasons that rank seven moves against Feng Jiu Ge would let him counterattack, while rank eight moves risk being reflected by Fang Yuan’s seal, and facing both together troubles him more than either alone. He decides to keep attacking until an opening appears, or make one himself, and conceals his presence within the battlefield. Fang Yuan cannot sense his location at all. Feng Jiu Ge can only detect vague traces of him. Wind blades carrying rank eight piercing power then rise from the battlefield and target Feng Jiu Ge specifically, since only he can counterattack while Fang Yuan is limited to defense. Feng Jiu Ge, more curious than afraid, destroys blade after blade, but they keep reforming and gaining number, gradually turning him passive. ^{ch. 1390}

Fang Yuan moves in beside Feng Jiu Ge to shield him, and the blades that strike Fang Yuan are reflected not at hidden Wu Yong but back into the battlefield itself, since Wu Yong only manipulates the killer move rather than attacking directly. Encouraged, Wu Yong pours even more strength into the battlefield. Feng Jiu Ge asks Fang Yuan to guard him while he prepares a move to break it. Fang Yuan agrees, having already judged the battlefield hard to break with his own strength and attainment, and hopes instead to stall until air lock expires so his group can use Omni-directional Travel. ^{ch. 1390}

Wu Yong escalates to clear jade lightning, which Fang Yuan meets with dragon-transformed eyes and reflects into the battlefield, while it fizzles out harmlessly as it nears Feng Jiu Ge’s own defenses. Holding the seal takes nearly all of Fang Yuan’s attention, so ancient sword dragon transformation is beyond him and only his eyes change. Wu Yong then shifts to clear jade dripping wind, reflected safely off Fang Yuan but landing on Feng Jiu Ge, whose body rings like a musical instrument under the falling drops. Wu Yong reveals himself, confident of victory, and names a fourth variation, profound immortal sound; Fang Yuan judges it strongest of the four in offensive power and knows his seal guards only himself, not Feng Jiu Ge. Its murmurs resound in Fang Yuan’s mind until his reverse flow robe shakes and billows. The whole battlefield killer move is named Four Clear Transforming Winds, a rank eight Wu clan ancestor’s creation with four variations: clear wind blades, clear jade lightning, clear jade dripping wind and profound immortal sound. It is Wu clan’s trump card, helping it dominate Southern Border for countless years. ^{ch. 1390}
