Faceted Jade a.k.a Carven Jade [ENG Translation]

CHAPTER 20

Wu Sisi, of course, wouldn't stand by and do nothing as soon as Yan Ming moved. The three sword cultivators joined forces and charged straight at the "Venerable One". The "Venerable One" roared on stage, and the eyes of all the townspeople in the audience suddenly turned blood-red and lunged towards the three people in the open!

Everything tumbled into a state of disarray, and Fu Changling took advantage of the chaos to roll over to the corner of the sacrificial altar. He quickly took out the Ten Directions Gods-Slaying Formation, bit his finger, and dripped blood onto it. As he did so, he glanced up at the battle ahead and saw Wu Sisi and the Venerable One engaged in an intense fight, which was driving him away from the altar, while Qin Yan and Yan Ming were surrounded by those common folks and completely engulfed in the sea of people.

Fu Changling promptly turned over and sat up upon seeing the Venerable One leave the altar, flung the Ten Directions Gods-Slaying Formation into the air, and then stood on the altar. Holding the Spirit-Gathering Pagoda in one hand and the Qinggu fan horizontally at the top end of the pagoda with the other, he chanted under his breath.

The Spirit-Gathering Pagoda began to absorb spiritual power as soon as he began to recite the incantation. He used his body as a whirlpool to channel the spiritual power of the entire secret realm into himself.

The "Venerable One" was alerted by this disruption, and he spun around and roared furiously. Wu Sisi's sword instantly lunged at him, and the Venerable One had no time to concern himself with Fu Changling. With a loud roar from him, the townspeople instantly reversed their direction and charged at Fu Changling. Qin Yan took no time in landing near Fu Changling. He drove the townspeople charging towards Fu Changling back with a stroke of his long sword and safeguarded the area around him.

Fu Changling was oblivious to all that was going on around him. He felt spiritual power pouring into his body as he closed his eyes. He was used to directing those powers towards his Dān point and then compressing them so rapidly that his Dān was already formed in a matter of moments!

As soon as his Jindan was formed, the spiritual energy from the Spirit-Gathering Pagoda streamed into it right away, transforming it into spiritual power that continuously flowed with abundance.

Under his feet, the blood-red spell formation spread outward, with the soles of his feet serving as the centre. Seeing that he was unharmed, Qin Yan leapt into the crowd and sprinted in the direction he was supposed to go, as planned.

Fu Changling opened his eyes and spotted Qin Yan in the midst of the crowd, not far away. The two exchanged glances, and Qin Yan nodded. His long sword swirled around him, instantly erupting with Qi, and Qin Yan seized the chance to leap and land directly on the south side. Simultaneously, Fu Changling raised his hand and flung forth a small formation in Qin Yan's direction, thwarting the townspeople who were heading for him. In that same instant, Qin Yan wielded his sword in a manner akin to calligraphic strokes, drawing the first small formation in no time at all.

Without stopping, Qin Yan immediately headed towards the east. Fu Changling stopped worrying about Qin Yan and lifted his gaze to focus on Yan Ming.

Yan Ming lacked Qin Yan's level of skills and was besieged by a group of people in the north. Seeing his weak defences, Fu Changling closed his eyes and recited an incantation, and dozens of spells poured out towards Yan Ming, enveloping him. After a brief reprieve, Yan Ming hastened to the north, where he was supposed to go.

The Ten Directions Gods-Slaying Formation had already been lit up in both the east and south directions at this point, and Fu Changling was letting it continue to spread in the two remaining directions.
