Spring Scissors
Lu Wei Yin, inheritor of Paradise Earth, subdues a fierce immemorial year tiger in one move. A third immemorial year beast then slithers out of a spiral entrance, a snake carrying the aura of wild Immortal Gu. It is much more dangerous than the first two. A fourth or fifth beast will very likely follow. Lu Wei Yin offers to face it, very vigilant now, and will not act before he probes its Immortal Gu. The immortals kill countless year beasts, yet more keep pouring in through the spiral entrances, and some immortals are injured. ch. 1602
Liu Hao is secretly shocked at the numbers but does not know how to hand over the deductions he holds from Heavenly Court. The Southern Border immortals need to break part of years flow execution formation to call allies but lack the methods. Xia Cha, extremely proud, has found one formation core but not the second, and she judges the formation complete and flawless. She considers attacking with everything to create a flaw herself. Lu Wei Yin warns her that Fang Yuan is very devious and that Shadow Sect holds Immortal Gu from the destroyed Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage. Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage seals an attack and sends it back, so her full strength could be turned on her. ch. 1602
Hidden Fang Yuan raises his brows at Lu Wei Yin’s accurate deduction. The formation uses almost all of Fang Yuan’s time path Immortal Gu, those of Hei Fan’s true inheritance as cores and those of Graceful Chaotic Duel Stage as supplements. Xia Cha breathes in deeply and turns on the immemorial year rooster, which has rank eight battle strength and shrugs off the rank seven immortals. The rooster charges her. She casts a jade green pair of scissors as large as an elephant that cuts deep into its neck. She vanishes as it reaches her, and the scissors clip again until the rooster is heavily injured all over. ch. 1602
Fang Yuan names the move Xia Cha’s spring scissors, a rank eight offensive killer move, extremely sharp and one of four in her set. He envies it. He lacks the rank eight Immortal Gu that Spectral Soul’s rank eight time path killer moves require. Years Flow Like Water, his only rank eight time path Gu, is the core of several killer moves, among them year beast summoning, which can call immemorial year beasts, and unlucky year. Neither is an attack like spring scissors. So he can only turn his attention to time cutting edge. ch. 1602
Seeing the rooster about to die, Fang Yuan has the formation move it away and enslaves the weakened beast with an enslavement path method. He fights beside the year beasts while the pursuers weaken them for enslaving, as he did against Heavenly Court in Western Desert. Xia Cha smiles and says he has exposed a flaw. Moving only year beasts hides the formation, but moving the rooster shifts it, so she soon finds the second core and destroys it. The immortals’ cheering is short, because the broken core becomes a spiral entrance that sends in more year beasts, and they are stunned. ch. 1602
