Chapter 326: 326, [The Falling “Palm Technique”] From Heaven
Within the Boundary Monument, Dida once told Lu Xun that his perception could extend beyond the Western State Border.
It didn’t specify the exact distance, only stating it was “just a little bit”.
Obviously, a ‘little bit’ from the mouth of a monument over a hundred meters high, and ‘a little bit’ from us humans who are just over a meter tall, are not the same thing at all.
The ‘little bit’ it was referring to, could very well be billions!
Since leaving the Boundary Monument, Lu Xun could always feel Dida ‘watching’ him depart.
This continued even after he had exited the Western State Border, arriving above Lost Forest, he still felt its ‘gaze’.
Not sure whether it was just bored, or really relunctant to let Lu Xun leave, it watched him all the way.
Clearly, the dangerous situation that Lu Xun later encountered had also been perceived by Dida.
As for why Dida had told him to move a mile further, Lu Xun didn’t understand.
But he chose to trust it.
The paper crane quickly flew through the air. A mile’s distance was not long for his current state, flying with the control of an object wouldn’t take too long.
But the key was, this creature was chasing exceptionally closely.
“Damn it, I’m not a male mantis, what do you want chasing to eat me!” Lu Xun cursed in his heart.
In nature, female mantises do indeed eat male mantises.
Luckily, the pearl given by Elder Gui was truly helpful, but using it was truly heart-wrenching.
The mantis-like creature once again caught up with the paper crane, and was blocked by the pearl on taking a hit.
The energy split from the shield generated by the pearl, swept to both sides, and left deep ravines in the dense forest on the ground of Lost Forest!
The paper crane took advantage of this energy, rushing quickly forward, staging a moment of life and death.
“Bang!”
The last life-saving pearl shattered at this moment!
And the distance to the location agreed with Dida was only a hundred meters away!
At the Western State Border, near the Boundary Monument.
For some reason, the ground began to shake suddenly.
The earth around the Boundary Monument began to crack, and fissures appeared on the ground, spreading outwards.
In this instant, the two elders who had been meditating in front of the Boundary Monument opened their eyes.
They looked at each other, with expressions of astonishment.
With their cultivation at the peak of the sixth realm, they naturally sensed the problem immediately.
The anomaly was coming from the Boundary Monument!
Since the Boundary Monument had been erected here, it had never shown such changes.
They couldn’t understand what was causing this.
The Sword Cultivators closest to the Boundary Monument quickly retreated, looking at the cracks forming on the ground, they looked around in confusion.
Those with lower cultivation base, and less sharp perception, might even think it was an earthquake.
Then, before they could give it more thought, in the next instant, a more terrifying anomaly occurred.
A cyan-blue light enveloped the area around the Boundary Monument. With a huge roar, the entire Boundary Monument unexpectedly rose from the ground, heading OUT of the Western State Border at a terrifying speed!
It happened too fast, everything was just too fast!
It was so fast that even the two elders at the peak of the sixth realm couldn’t react to it.
Their minds were filled with questions.
Why did our Boundary Monument suddenly run outwards?
This sudden development caught them off guard!
However, there was no time for them to ponder.
Because this was the Boundary Monument, it was a sacred object on par with the Divine Sword and the Sword Jade.
If it suddenly flew away, they had no choice but to chase it.
The first thing they had to do was catch up with it.
They had to retrieve it, it must be retrieved!
And during this process, if anything happened to the Boundary Monument, the two of them would end up being the eternal sinners of One Sword Mountain and Ten Thousand Sword Mountain!
Both elders disappeared in a blink of an eye, heading in the direction the Boundary Monument flew off to.
Disciples of both Sword Sects stationed here immediately sensed the severity of the situation.
The two disciples at the forefront immediately said: “Quick, use the secret method to communicate with the Swordsmen!”
“Quick, communicate with the Law Transmitter!”
Boundary Monument… It must not be lost!
High in the sky, the Boundary Monument zoomed through the air.
It had its own maximum range, unable to stray too far from the West State.
This was its fate as a Boundary Monument.
Truth be told, when Lu Xun fell into danger, it had been quite anxious, wanting to do something.
This feeling was strange. It was the first time it had felt this way.
It was worried about Lu Xun’s safety and wanted to make every effort to help him!
Perhaps this was what Lu Xun referred to as… a friend?
In the span of thousands of years, this was its first time having a friend.
Thus, when Lu Xun and the monster approached its maximum range, it didn’t hesitate to zoom towards them.
Truthfully, Dida itself didn’t know what it could do once it arrived at the scene.
Or one could say…what should it do?
It didn’t know how to engage the enemy, it didn’t even know how much power it had.
It was very naive, even more so than a regular child.
Everything it did was guided by instinct.
“Lu Xun, hold on, wait for me!” Dida said.
The Boundary Monument’s perception was always circling around Lu Xun, its speed was incredibly fast, getting closer and closer.
Lu Xun and the beast had only traveled about a hundred meters when it broke through the air from the border of the West State, flying to a very close distance from Lu Xun.
If anyone on the ground looked up at the sky at this moment, they would see a meteor-like object tearing through the sky, leaving a brilliant and dazzling trail of light!
This streak of light was incredibly conspicuous, visible to anyone who looked up.
The surrounding players looked up at the sky and couldn’t help exclaiming, “What the hell? A shooting star in daylight?”
Meanwhile, the abrupt disappearance of the Boundary Monument exploded on the forum.
The sudden departure of such a sacred object from the West State Border was definitely a big deal!
Perhaps, it was a sign of an earth-shattering scenario on the horizon!
Meanwhile, above the Lost Forest, Lu Xun soon heard a sound of shattering void to the utmost degree!
The three pearls had shattered by now, and the beast was close at hand.
The Sword Qi in Lu Xun’s Sword Sheath was pouring crazily, and the fog-like Sword Intent was spreading all around.
At the same time, the “pink ink” was also lingering around the paper crane, and Lin Chan and Ji Li were doing their best to fight.
Just as the mantis-like monster was about to hit everyone, a light pillar like a meteor arrived in an instant!
Dida, the Boundary Monument, didn’t know how to drive away the enemy.
It was clumsy and didn’t know anything.
Therefore, it only knew the most clumsy, most primitive method.
That was to smash it!
To forcefully smash it!
And so, a Boundary Monument made of unknown material, personally refined by the founder of Sword Sect, containing countless secrets, brutally smashed into the beast!
The weight of the Boundary Monument and the force it contained was unknown to anyone.
Lu Xun only saw the beast nowhere to hide, unable to dodge at all.
Then its body twisted and bent into a terrifying curve, as if hit by a heavy blow!
Its body nearly became a U shape.
Then it kept falling, kept falling!
Immediately afterwards, there was a deafening blast, and the beast fell straight to the ground, creating a massive crater!
In fact, the entire Lost Forest was shaking under this blast, as if an earthquake had been triggered.
Lu Xun barely resisted the sweeping airflow around him with the help of “Pink Ink”, almost losing control of the paper crane.
After taking a deep breath, he looked down at the deep crater below.
He saw the Boundary Monument standing there, and the beast it had brutally smashed into the ground, its health bars completely drained!
Immediately after, he heard Dida’s slightly weak voice in his heart:
“I… I will protect you….”
