The Great Worm Lich Chapter 515

Chapter 515 - Attack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Even though the successor of the ancient witchcraft was unable to escape from the trap, the battle situation in front was completely different from the expectations of the Gate of Dao’s masters.

According to the description given by Li Xiangzhou and Duan Lianbao, the two Gate of Dao true disciples who had been defeated in the hands of the successor of the ancient witchcraft, the enemy could unleash thousands of horrifying giant bugs and he would just hide himself in the group of bugs launching vital attacks from time to time like an assassin. He would focus on killing with one hit and if he missed his target, he would dodge right away.

According to the elders in the Gate of Dao, such strange tactics that were unheard of matched the examples of the elite wizards in the ancient times who liked to create their own battle warfare. For this reason, the four old Taoists, who came to the foreign world to lay our their trap, would choose to set up the Four Image Formation that excelled in group attacks and trapping its enemy to gain a win.

However, after the formation was activated, the Yin Yang Two Forms Compass, the great weapon that they thought could overpower their enemy and could move the enemy who was in stealth to the heart of the formation to suffer from blood curdling attacks, and which could help the holder of the compass to change his position from time to time to aid in the attack, did not have a chance to be used at all, for the ferocious eye beast transformed by the successor of the ancient witchcraft did not even move an inch at all.

Because there was only one target, the techniques blotting out the entire sky would often offset each other, wasting their power in vain. This powerlessness of ‘throwing a heavy punch at cotton’ made them feel even more infuriated.

Among the casters of the formation, the leopard-eyed Taoist priest, who had the most violent temper of them all, could no longer hold back his anger. With his left hand crushing a talisman to activate the formation, his right hand waved the compass as he howled, “Senior Brother Lu, this scoundrel is really a ‘tortoise’! If we continue to fight like this, until when will we see any results? Why don’t I get close to him and break his shell?”

“Since the delinquent has already fallen in the formation, he would be killed eventually. Junior Brother Song, why do you have to be so anxious. This matter is important so we must win steadily,” The aloof-looking old Taoist stood in the place of the green dragon and said without hesitation, controlling the overall situation.

When the big-eyed Taoist priest heard this, he held his tongue and no longer said any words but to charge straight directly towards the enemy. After a bout of match, he felt that his power was gradually getting weakened. Hastily, he pinned the compass that had not been used at all on his waist and took out a jade carved bottle that was the size of a thumb and bit it open, before pouring the fragrant condensed dew into his mouth.

The instant the dew entered his mouth, his power was immediately replenished. The big-eyes Taoist priest breathed a sigh of relief and snarled again. “Senior Brother Lu, my power is not enough and I’ve used a bottle of the Peach Dew. I don’t think we can just continue to fight like this. Who would have ever thought that this little scoundrel would actually be good at both attacking and defending? And he’s so sly too! He has seen through the profoundness of the Four Image Formation yet he keeps defending, making all of power become wasted. If we continue to go on like this, our power may deplete and the formation may slack. In that case, won’t he be able to escape if he let out his bugs and make a dash for it? It’s better for me to break his tortoise shell first!”

“Junior Brother Song, all of us have brought enough pills and dews this time to replenish our power so it’s better for us to maintain our composure.” The aloof-looking old Taoist who also began to consume the power-replenishing pill said in a low voice as he shook his head. However, even though he had rejected the big-eyed Taoist’s suggestion, his tone was no longer as decisive as before.

After all, even though the Taoist priests had brought many power-replenishing medicines with them, the enemy had still not reveal his complete cards yet. More importantly, they were fighting in an ‘away’ game and the reason they could gain a firm advantage was because they had lured the successor of the ancient witchcraft into a trap. If the time was dragged out too long, many other variables could beget out of the situation.

The more the aloof-looking old Taoist thought about it, the more he felt that it was indeed not a good idea maintaining this deadlock. At once, he also started to feel infuriated.

After pondering about it, with both of his hands that were drawing runes in the air to maintain the formation continued to work had, he tactfully asked his comrade who had always been wise and resourceful. “Junior Brother Li, what do you think about the current situation?”

“Senior Brother, if we occupy the geographical advantage, no, no, even if both parties share the same geographical advantage, victory would still be on our side. As long as we patiently wait for it, we’d definitely be able to shatter the soul of this delinquent.” The elegant-looking standing at the bird’s position knew what his Senior Brother wanted to ask for so he sighed faintly and said truthfully. “However, we are in a terrible situation now and it’d pose no problem to us at the moment but if things continue to drag on, then… then… Sigh, our preparation has already been well-thought and complete but it has never crossed my mind that we’ve still underestimated this hero…”

“Junior Brother Li, please don’t boost other people’s morale and reduce our own courage. How can this scoundrel be called as hero? If it wasn’t for his omniscient power that could travel through space, I’d have been able to pinch him to death by myself alone! There wouldn’t have been any need for any formation at all!” The leopard-eyed Taoist priest shouted. “Senior Brother Lu, just let me try! My Sky Shattering Technique is not something that is just nice in name.”

“Hmm…” The aloof-looking old Taoist became silent for a while before calculating his time. He looked carefully at the heart of the formation that was enveloped by countless techniques and the Taoist army but the successor of the ancient witchcraft was still not being injured at all. Nodding his head heavily, he said, “Since Junior Brother Song wants to contribute the merit of breaking the enemy, then I’ll fulfill your wish. But, you must be cautious. Do everything with care, seek not to be meritorious but to avoid mistakes.”

“Don’t worry, Senior Brother…” Upon hearing the old priest finally agreeing to his own request, the big-eyed Priest smiled brightly. Runes began to appear on his palms and head that were not being covered by his clothing. His body began to swell inch by inch and his voice began to become loud.

After he replied, the copper compass in his hand that had suddenly turned to the size of a shallow basket illuminated the enemy trapped in the heart of the formation. In an instant, his figure flashed and he actually moved to appear beside Zhang Lisheng.

“Dispel! Dispel! Dispel…” After shifting his position, the big-eyed priest could feel the gushes of invisible pressure around him that seemed to want to tear himself apart. His bellicose blood began to boil and with a flash of lightning, he threw his punch. Excitedly, he suddenly roared and sang, “On the green mountain of Taoist cultivation, I’ll hoe the field and rest half a day, I’ll become true one day, as I throw my punch and break the sky…”

The lyrics were uncouth but it resonated in the world thunderously, appearing to be very vigorous.

“This lyric is really straightforward. It seems like Junior Brother Song has not fully vented his exasperation working in the field in the outer Gate and is still feeling infuriated over it now!” Upon hearing the big-eyed priest’s lyrics, the aloof-looking old Taoist priest watched him throwing his punches while snarling angrily in the heart of the formations. The figure that was like a god suddenly shook his head and said, “But even though he still has enmity, he’s quite a true man!”

“Senior Brother Lu, you’re right. As the saying goes, ‘Only when a man retains his inherent qualities that he can become a distinguished and admirable true hero’. Senior Brother Song can indeed be said as a distinguished person,” The elegant-looking Taoist priest nodded as he praised.

The Taoist priests originated in the inner Gate in this formation made such evaluation on the big-eyed Taoist while the Gate of Dao’s elite disciples waiting outside the formation looking in the commotion in the Four Image Formation through a silverish water mirror that had its back carved with runes. They had long become very anxious when they saw that there still seemed to be no progress. At once, they became boiled with passions as they praised one by one. “Senior Uncle Song never parades his talent and it has never crossed my mind that he’s actually so heroic when it comes to a real matter…”

“He never parades his talent? It’s because you didn’t enter in time to see the period when he showed his ‘spearhead’! Just how amazing it is for an outer disciple to take a leap to become a true elder? His nickname of ‘Mountain Throwing Taoist’ is not just for the sake of decoration okay…”;

“Good song! Good lyrics! Good spirit! How nice it would be if we have some wine now…” As they were speaking, the big-eyed Taoist priest suddenly howled ‘Hey!” and burst out from the invisible force around him. With a step, he broke through and came to the front of the ferocious eye beast transformed by the successor of the ancient witchcraft. Throwing his punch around, the seven to eight meters tall figure waved his iron punches and howled, “Die, die…” in the series of punches.

Under the continuous punches of the big-eyed priest, the cracks on the red eye beast began to connect and crack even more as it started to retreat. In the middle of the wreck, the invisible repelling force that it casted seemed to disappear without a trace. It was immediately surrounded by thousands of the Taoist army on the ground and continuously hit by the techniques in the air. At once, it fell into the dazzling firelight and lightning.

It had never crossed the big-eyed Taoist priest that the situation would take such an excellent turn so naturally, he seized this opportunity to pursue. The rest of the Gate of Dao’s members also felt overjoyed right away, thinking that their victory was already in sight. It was only that elegant-looking Taoist and Yu Longyu who was watching from outside the formation who could faintly feel something was not right.

However, between the two of them, one of them knew the powerfulness of the Sky Shattering Technique created by one of the three Saint Founders of the Gate of Dao passed down since ancient times so he felt that this technique was completely invincible in close combat and could not just destroy a promising situation with just a suspicion in his heart. The other person, on the other hand, did not carry much weight in his position. He did not even have the qualification to say a word and could only suppress his beating heart and extend his head to stare fixedly through the silverish water mirror as he silently pray for nothing to go wrong.

When Yu Longyu extended his head, he immediately obstructed the other people’s view. Originally, with his position in the Gate, other than Lu Shangyou, Li Xiangzhou and a few others more, nobody would argue with him about this trivial matter.

However, the battle in the Four Image Formation was still going in full swing, pulling at the hearts of each viewer. With urgent impatience, the young man with a protruding mouth and chin like an ape’s hesitated a little before saying, “Senior Brother Longyu, can you m-move your head a little please?”

“Oh okay, I’m sorry, Junior Brother…” Yu Longyu had always been a kind-tempered person. Upon hearing this, he answered without turning his head around. When he was just about to move his head, he suddenly saw that the blazing flame and thundering lightning enveloping the successor of the ancient wizard gu displayed on the silverish water mirror abruptly dissipated.

Only a three-headed six-armed golden-haired ape that had a mouthful of fangs and a pair of round cold eyes with a body covered entirely in ice appeared on the heart of the formation.

The ape appeared to be almost the same height as the big-eyed Taoist who had transformed into a giant. However, in comparison, the billowing ferocity was swallowing the vitality off the Taoist who was in front of them. Among the six thick arms, two of them were holding onto the big-eyed Taoist’s punches, two of them were holding the Taoist’s shoulders tightly, and the last two were holding onto his waist.

Upon seeing this scene, everyone was completely dumbfounded. At this moment, the elegant-looking Taoist became horrified and lost his cool as he shouted out loud, “Senior Brother, flee now!”

Yu Longyu, on the other hand, blurted out under his breath in a blank expression, “He retreated first before making his move in order to make just one thunderous hit. When he attacks, I’m afraid that… I’m afraid that…”
