Book 5: Chapter 24: The weird infant’s face

Everything had happened too fast. I was flipped onto the floor by the burst of air accompanying the little things appearance. There was a wave of enormous pain came from my broken rib and wrist!

However, I didnt have time to worry about my broken bones. I felt a strong force pushing beneath my feet as though something was about to burst out. I immediately recalled Uncle Baos instructions and desperately pressed my feet down on that circle.

Luckily my legs were long enough. Although I had toppled over, my feet were still within the red circle. The ground trembled for a while before growing calm again. I let out a long breath before gathering my strength to look around and see what had happened!

I saw that little monster screech wildly and rush towards the gentle slope as expected. Before it could reach the trees, it was blocked on either side by Uncle Bao and Ah Zhan.

It leapt and turned, seeming to sense Ah Zhan was relatively weaker, and pounced towards him. However, despite being forced to react hastily, Ah Zhan still calmly drew his seals in the air without taking a single step back. Uncle Bao sent a talisman flying at it from the side, forcing it to retreat back!

However, its body didnt touch the ground and it didnt seem to fear the sunlight. It seemed to roll around in midair and then descend like a boulder, smashing towards Bao Da Tong who was next to the incense altar!This chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.com

Watch out! I shouted. Although I disliked him from the bottom of my heart, we were currently united against a common enemy. Besides, I also didnt want him to die. Therefore, I was extremely anxious when I saw he hadnt reacted.

Bao Da Tong let out a smile. He was actually still able to smile at this moment. However, his arms remained still and he merely shrugged his shoulders. It seemed he was waiting for the little monster to get closer before making his move. However, before he could do so, that little monster whirled in the air and started attacking Ah Zhan once again.

Its goal hadnt been Bao Da Tong. It just wanted to distract Ah Zhan before once again trying for the only exit!

However, as you know, Ah Zhan is never the slightest bit careless during battle. He also never gets flustered or hesitates. Hes like some mercenary from that tribe, always fighting to the bitter end. Therefore, the little monster didnt succeed at all. Instead, since Ah Zhan had been prepared, it fell into an even sorrier state.

Its trying to flee! Although its not afraid of the sunlight, it still cant stay for long. Dont be reckless. Its enough to keep it trapped! Uncle Bao seemed to have realized something and shouted.

Understood! Bao Da Tong responded loudly. His voice was louder than the screeching of the little monster. When I looked towards him, he made a face at me. Thanks for earlier. Its a shame he chose not to fight me. I didnt get to use my sword of seven colors!

He was still so talkative at such a tense moment. I didnt have the time to bother with him, and kept my eyes fixed on the little monster. It whirled about urgently before it swiftly started climbing up the cliff. It was planning to escape via the cliff!

Da Tong, the formation flags! Uncle Bao ordered quickly. However, his tone wasnt panicked. He had clearly made preparations.

Bao Da Tong once again responded loudly. He pulled out a pale yellow little flag from the bits and pieces arrayed on the altar. He chanted something before flinging it out!

The valley wasnt large, but Ba Da Tong was still around a hundred meters away from the left cliff. That flag was made of paper with strange spellscript inscribed in cinnabar. It was only half a foot long. This sort of material couldnt be thrown that far, especially with Bao Da Tongs average physique. He was even a little on the skinny side so he definitely didnt have extraordinary arm strength. Theoretically, there was no way he could have thrown it far enough. It would have been impressive if it made it more than five meters. However, I was astonished to see that despite barely using any strength and merely muttering a few words, the flag shot out like an arrow. It flew swift and true, swishing in the wind as it nailed itself to the top of the cliff.

Careful, corpse poison! Uncle Bao said. Yet before he had spoken, the other two had already moved. Ah Zhan drew something on his face, sealing his seven orifices. Bao Da Tong stuck a talisman to his nose and mouth.

The fiendish red mist continued to sink. There were black threads within the red, making it appear to have been forged from blood. It suddenly halted after sinking for a bit. It thickened like a gel, seeming rather viscous.

Uncle Bao seemed to be fine, but Ah Zhans body was tensed as though struggling against an invisible force. Bao Da Tong was worse off, bent over as if being crushed by something. His face was redder than the blood mist as he braced himself on the large stone altar!

Uncle Bao sneered coldly. Petty tricks! With a bit of strength, he escaped the grasp of the blood mist and burnt a talisman. Divine Celestial Ling Bao, pacify the body. Souls of the disciple, profound mystery of the five Yin organs. Azure dragon and white tiger, locked in perpetual combat. Vermillion bird and black tortoise, serve and protect my true form. Pressing, like the rule of law.

After speaking, he pointed with his finger. The burning talisman flames flew outwards. It was about to reach the weird infant when it suddenly opened its mouth and blew out a breath. The flames actually extinguished!

Uncle Bao made a sound of surprise, clearly not having expected this degree of power from the weird infant. He shot out another two talismans in succession but they were also blown out by the weird infant. While he was casting his third spell, Ah Zhan suddenly struggled free of his restriction. He got one of his arms loose and struggled to draw seals in the air, pointing at that weird infant as well.

His movements were slow. He seals only arrived as the weird infant was about to blow out the talisman fire again. However, because of this, the weird infant was struck solidly on the face despite having blown out the fire. It was as if it suffered a resounding slap.

As its head was twisted from the blow, Uncle Bao swiftly seized the opportunity. He took several steps in place as if dancing and waved his arms, before crying loudly Break! The blood mist rapidly shrank into a clump before flying back towards the weird infant.

The weird infant spun in midair to avoid its own corpse poison. On the other side, Ah Zhan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood and fell to a seated position. That guy truly has an extremely tenacious nature. Therefore, he would always strain himself when facing off against an enemy.

Get up, its second move is coming! Bao Da Tong snapped out of it and cried out.

This time, a strong gust of wind formed. It spun into a black ball of spiraling air that bobbed up and down. It concealed the weird infant, making us lose track of it!

The ball of wind remained in the air for a moment before suddenly shooting towards Ah Zhan! It was extremely fast and arrived in the blink of an eye.

Ah Zhan didnt possess much power back then and was suffering from his external and internal injuries. He had relied on his steely courage to block off the exit and had just helped Uncle Bao break the weird infants blood mist. How could he have the strength to resist at this moment? He had yet to react as the ball of air reached him. It was Uncle Bao who struck at it from the side with the peachwood sword. With a crack, the sword snapped.

The ball of air bounced off, light as silk, and rushed towards Bao Da Tong instead!

Come forth, sword of seven colors, and destroy all demons! Bao Da Tong shouted, his tone containing the excitement of finally being able to use his magic weapon. He grabbed the cloth bag he was carrying and pointed it upwards.

No! Uncle Bao cried urgently, seeing that he was unable to go save his son in time.

The black ball of air arrived before the sword of seven colors could appear!
