Moon Rise

In Northern Plains, Yin Wu Que retreats and aims Crescent Moon Thrust at Hei Lou Lan. A translucent pale blue crescent moon shoots from the ground. She jumps at almost the same time and avoids it. He is surprised: the move is very fast, and ordinary Gu Immortals cannot dodge it easily. Hei Lou Lan then charges, arriving in a few breaths. He raises both hands and uses Moon Rise. Moonlight gushes from his forehead and he starts to float. Before he gets far, her fist lands. The blow sends him flying, bouncing along the ground for tens of steps, and injures him despite his defensive method. ^{ch. 2169}

He smiles, stretches out five fingers, and five translucent light blue crescent moonblades appear from nothing, targeting her from all directions. She does not dodge. She punches his eye socket and drives his head into a pit. Wooden Statue Lord Wu Guang and Sincerity Immortal Chen Cheng watch from the side. An unceasing moonblade killer move then produces moonblades in a frenzy. She dodges most of them and shatters some with her fists. He uses that interval to regain his footing and fly out of the pit. ^{ch. 2169}

He lets out a breath and says the moon has already risen. Moon qi from the top of his head has gathered into a waxing crescent moon hanging in the sky under broad daylight. The moonblade killer move continues. Hei Lou Lan thinks that earlier the moonblades could only form from the ground, but now they can appear from thin air, and she asks herself whether that is the effect of the moon in the sky. She also thinks the amplification is not worth the two punches he endured to activate the crescent moon. ^{ch. 2169}

She punches the hanging waxing crescent moon. It only shakes slightly, like a desert mirage. She notices it is getting larger and has an insight. She stops retreating, endures the crescent moonblades, and charges him instead. He thinks her combat instincts are too powerful and that she seems to have seen through his combat system. ^{ch. 2169}

He inherited a complete combat system from an Olden Antiquity moon path Gu Immortal great expert. The hanging waxing crescent moon amplifies his moon path killer moves. When those moves are destroyed or countered, lingering moon path dao marks are absorbed by the waxing crescent moon, causing it to grow. It would grow into a half moon, then a full moon, and once full his offense and defense would be amplified to the strongest state. She uses her strongest offenses. He delays while retreating. ^{ch. 2169}
