Chapter 1391

All four variations of the battlefield share one wind path essence, since the Wu clan ancestor who created it could imitate sword, lightning, water and sound path through wind alone. Profound immortal sound grows louder and more concentrated, until the musical sounds still ringing on Feng Jiu Ge are pressed down to almost nothing. Fang Yuan is helpless, since his many Immortal Gu and killer moves are all too shallow against a rank eight Gu Immortal, and only reverse flow protection seal keeps him unharmed. Even that cannot resolve this danger, as his reverse flow robe shakes and the Reverse Flow River drains at an alarmingly fast rate. Blood runs from Feng Jiu Ge’s nose, mouth and eyes as his shaking worsens, and Fang Yuan fears Feng Jiu Ge’s own killer move will break, backlash heavily, and with Wu Yong’s attack kill him outright. Fang Yuan feels little sympathy for him. He knows only that once Feng Jiu Ge is gone he faces Wu Yong alone, with no chance to use Omni-directional Travel even after air lock lapses. ^{ch. 1391}

Just as the fight tilts toward Wu Yong, Feng Jiu Ge suddenly relaxes and lets out a breath, then begins singing softly in a weak, rising voice. The song stirs a sudden emotion in Wu Yong despite his layered immortal defenses, and unsettles Fang Yuan’s reverse flow robe even more violently than profound immortal sound had. Sensing the song reaches everyone nearby, Fang Yuan retreats both to protect himself and to help Feng Jiu Ge. Wu Yong withdraws further still, his body vanishing from sight. ^{ch. 1391}

All four variations strike Feng Jiu Ge together, but he endures them with his body and keeps singing, and the word separation surfaces unbidden in Wu Yong’s mind with parting lovers, lost friends and dead loved ones. The song fills Wu Yong with overwhelming grief he cannot suppress. He coughs blood as he discovers, in shock, that Four Clear Transforming Winds is disintegrating around him. The song harms none of the Gu worms, and Wu Yong has already replaced those that Fang Yuan’s reflections destroyed. The worms simply refuse to cooperate any longer and drift apart, beyond his control. ^{ch. 1391}

Fang Yuan senses the battlefield crumbling, and Wu Yong tries to abort the killer move, but it is too late. The whole battlefield disintegrates, and Wu Yong is forced into the open, pale and staggering under severe backlash. A destroyed immortal battlefield killer move punishes its user far more harshly than a destroyed Gu formation, and this grand move’s backlash is extremely severe. Wu Yong asks the name of Separation Song, but Feng Jiu Ge sings on. Unable to bear more, Wu Yong retreats into Clear Jade Dripping Wind Tiny Bamboo Building to heal, only for the song to make even this rank eight Immortal Gu House shake and show signs of disintegrating, proving the song itself is rank eight level. ^{ch. 1391}

Ignoring his wounds, Wu Yong drives the Gu House at Feng Jiu Ge. Feng Jiu Ge seems rooted to the spot, his defenses nearly spent. With air lock still active, Fang Yuan blocks its path with dragon-scaled, dragon-strength arms built from Gu borrowed from Wu clan itself. He is smashed away but unhurt behind the seal, while the Gu House loses many mortal Gu in the impact. With that opening, the song grows still more effective, and as Wu Yong presses another collision while preparing a further killer move, Feng Jiu Ge suddenly flies clear, proving his stillness was only a feint. The Gu House, built from relatively few Gu worms, keeps disintegrating under the song, its bamboos peeling away into countless little Gu worms. Grim, with Fang Yuan closing in again, Wu Yong mobilizes the damaged Gu House and takes the initiative to retreat, shrinking to a dot on the horizon. ^{ch. 1391}
