1029 Sword That Penetrates the Sky

The Golden Circlet!

Chen Xiaobei had chosen this time, when Phantom Rain was distracted, to unleash this Spiritual Item. It was a surprise attack! Right now, Phantom Rain was still in shock that Chen Xiaobei was able to point her out, still pissed that Chen Xiaobei kept addressing her as Chen Yasai, and vexed that she was humiliated in front of her subordinates.

She had thought nothing of Chen Xiaobei's strength; that, combined with the shock, anger and exasperation, saw Phantom Rain let her guard down! This was the chance for Chen Xiaobei to gain the upper hand!

"Oh no…"

The golden light flashed instantly before Phantom Rain.

The four Enigmatic Ninjas felt their heart stopped beating in their chests for a split second.

While they were 100% confident in Phantom Rain, Chen Xiaobei had many tricks up his sleeves. God knows what he would do to let Phantom Rain suffered this time!

"How childish!"

But right at this critical moment, the corner of Phantom Rain's lips curled into a sneer.

Wrooom…

The Golden Circlet fastened itself around the crown of her head.

"The Golden Circlet is ineffective on her!"

Chen Xiaobei did not look happy at all.

No matter how much the Golden Circlet tightened, Phantom Rain showed no signs of pain! It was as if the Golden Circlet was fake!

From the moment he took out the Golden Circlet, to the moment he put it onto Phantom Rain's head, Chen Xiaobei was certain that it was Phantom Rain herself! But just as the Golden Circlet was wrapping itself around her head, Phantom Rain herself suddenly turned into a scapegoat!

Whoosh…

Phantom Rain vaporized and the Golden Circlet was on the head of a rag doll!

"Kawarimi no Jutsu!"

"That's why Master Phantom Rain really is really good! She could complete Kawarimi no Jutsu in such a short time. That's just amazing!"

"That's right! How can our Master Phantom Rain be preceded by that kid?"

"That kid will vanquish against Master Phantom Rain!"

The four Enigmatic Ninjas cheered. Their excitement brewing.

This sudden turn of an imminently perilous event, cause them to become spirited, certain that the odds that Chen Xiaobei would win was zero.

"Kawarimi no Jutsu?"

When Chen Xiaobei heard this, he was very surprised. Was this not the ninjutsu in the ninja manga?

Even though Chen Xiaobei's Golden Circlet was on the wrong target, he was pretty happy with this little victory. This test had resulted in Phantom Rain revealing her way to save her own life. That meant that Chen Xiaobei had managed to save 1,000 Spiritual Stones! If Chen Xiaobei had chosen to use the Deity Constricting Rope just now, he would cry himself blind for binding a dummy.

"You prick! Surrender your life!"

Phantom Rain wasted no time. She immediately launched an attack to capture Chen Xiaobei.

The power Chen Xiaobei had displayed was too surprising and was as strong as Phantom Rain's. She dared not delay another second, afraid that the tide may turn on her.

Whoosh…

With the Water True Qi channeling within her, True Kang was formed around Phantom Rain.

Needlelike Water True Kang flew toward Chen Xiaobei, shrouding him like a rainstorm.

The water in the air around them glimmered as they affix themselves to the True Kang.

Phantom Rain's speed of triggering her Water Celestial Event was clearly faster than Green Dragon's.

This showed that Phantom Rain's divination of the natural forces was deeper and more apparent. The speed at which she triggered the Celestial Event was even faster than most of the demigods! A single will was more than enough for her to do it!

Swoosh!

Every drop of 'rain' was a 110,000 combat-power killing weapon!

There were countless of 'raindrops'. If it were the four Enigmatic Ninjas who were in Chen Xiaobei's right now, they would all be killed!

This woman's true strength was really scary!

"If I can't use the Deity Constricting Rope on her, I won't be able to use my sword. Then there's no point for me to keep fighting this battle. It's time to make a run for it!"

Chen Xiaobei remained composed as he analyzed his situation methodically.

"If I don't leave now, and something bad happens, I won't be able to derail Demonic Fox's wedding! On top of that, Chen Zhufeng's mask had already been discovered, if Nikkawa Uchu is informed of this, the chances of getting my hands on the Xu Fu's treasure box would be very slim! In fact, it is very likely that Phantom Rain is the reincarnated Daji! I can't be involved in a fatal fight with her just yet! The best thing to do now is split!"

After a deliberating the merits and drawbacks, Chen Xiaobei came to the decision to retreat.

But instead of launching a counterattack or evading, he spread out his arms to receive the formidable rainstorm!

"What are you doing? Do you want to die?"

Phantom Rain was again alarmed by Chen Xiaobei's nonchalance in the face of danger.

She had not forgotten that the Tenshou's orders were to bring him back ALIVE. If Chen Xiaobei were to die, the headquarters would lose the key evidence to their investigation of the 'secret'! Besides that, the imperial army's plan to use Chen Xiaobei as their hostage would be destroyed!

Phantom Rain was stuck in a tight corner—the punishment she would receive for that would be worse than she let Chen Xiaobei escape!

"That's right. I do want to die. But, Chen Yasai, are you sure you want to kill me?"

Chen Xiaobei grinned. He had counted on Phantom Rain to change her mind.

It was not that she did not want to but because she was afraid to kill him!

Whoop…

Phantom Rain's brows furrowed as she exerted all her energy to withdraw the formidable True Kang rainstorm.

"Heh, I told you earlier—if I want to leave, no one will be able to stop me!"

Chen Xiaobei saw the chance to summon the Somersault Cloud and soared into the skies.

"Hurry! Stop him! Don't let him get away!" Phantom Rain, who was caught off-guard, shouted.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The four Enigmatic Ninjas's reacted swiftly. They wanted to unleash their True Kang at him, but they were also worried that they might accidentally kill Chen Xiaobei.

So, they did not do it in end, causing them to be not as fast and ruthless as they could be.

The Somersault Cloud's speed was only a little bit faster than elites with early phase of Celestial cultivation but it escaped the four Enigmatic Ninjas' attack without breaking a sweat.

Heaven Ladder!" Phantom Rain shouted and trigger another Water Celestial Event!

A water staircase that reaches the sky appeared.

She crouched her fragile body and sprinted, reaching over ten meters high in a matter of seconds and was already ready to hit Chen Xiaobei with her True Kang.

Deep down, she understood that this would be her last chance to capture him. If he escaped this time, it would like catching lightning in a bottle! She might never be able to hunt down Chen Xiaobei again!

Whoosh!

The water True Kang transformed into a sharp sword, tearing through the air toward Chen Xiaobei's Dantian.

This time, Phantom Rain had deployed all of her energy and speed, risking everything in one throw. She must get ahold of Chen Xiaobei!

The Somersault Cloud was not fast enough to evade this attack.

And Chen Xiaobei's Dantian was struck!Body Replacement/Substitution Technique
