Chapter 689: Boss, where is my protective barrier?
Translator: GodBrandy Editor: Kurisu
A scene of full sixteen seconds! This time, ‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’ had really put his feelings into this role!
I bet everyone will pay attention to me during the screening of the movie! After all, I’m a warlord from the demonic realm, and the strongest amongst the villains making their appearance in the movie. The pressure emanating from ‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’ body was getting stronger and stronger.
Fellow Daoist Fallout, come! Let’s fight and record the best battle of the play!
‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’ was someone outstanding amidst Sixth Stage True Monarchs. He was one of the few fellow daoists in the Nine Provinces Number One Group that had a chance to advance to the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm within the next hundred years.
True Monarch Fallout was likewise a Sixth Stage True Monarch Realm. Although there was a long way for him to reach the Seventh Stage Venerable Realm, his foundation was very solid and his fighting capacity exceptional.
Even if it was just for show, the battle between these two True Monarchs was going to be memorable.
❄️❄️❄️
True Monarch Fallout played the role of Daoist Priest Wuwei as he wielded his sword, pointing at the demons and saying, “With me here, don’t even think about chasing after the others!”
“Old man, your tone sure is big. This warlord only needs ten moves to kill you. Subordinates, don’t listen to the nonsense of this old fogy, quickly chase after the disciples of the Immaterial Cloud Sect!” Evil General Mingyue said coldly as he raised his blade high up in the sky.
Since these two powerful True Monarchs were about to fight, the demons of the Netherworld Realm seized the opportunity to head toward that secret passage used for emergencies.
Actually, the demons didn’t really want to head toward that secret passage. Although demons of the Third Stage didn’t have much intellect, those of the Fourth Stage were quite intelligent already, and knew that the secret passage wasn’t a good place.
In addition, rather than chasing after those cultivators in the secret passage, who could start ‘feigning death’ at any time, it was better to attack the nearby weak cultivators that were currently spectating the scene.
Unfortunately, the demons of the Netherworld weren’t given the opportunity to choose.
As soon as a demon thought of separating from others and attacking those weak cultivators standing on one side, that pretty female cultivator would make her move. She would stretch out her hand and make a grabbing motion, capturing the demon that had separated from the group and sending it back.
After repeating this process for two or three times, that beautiful female cultivator directly used a magical technique, concealing the presence of all those weak cultivators that were spectating the scene.
Soon after, she threw what resembled medicinal powder toward the group of demons.
After the medicinal powder scattered around, even the demons of the Fourth Stage lost their reason, and dashed toward that secret passage with red eyes.
❄️❄️❄️
“Evil creatures, don’t even think about getting past me!” True Monarch Fallout, who kept playing the role of Daoist Priest Wuwei, said in a grave tone, wielding his sword and slashing out. The sword qi reached a height of 300 meters before moving to cut the demons of the Netherworld.
“Old man, I’m your opponent!” ‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’, who played the role of Evil General Mingyue, shouted. He likewise slashed out, and the sword qi reached a height of 300 meters before clashing against Daoist Priest Wuwei’s sword attack.
“Boom, boom, boom~”
After colliding, the two attacks canceled each other out.
However, the demons of the Netherworld seized this opportunity to get past Daoist Priest Wuwei and rush toward the secret passage.
True Monarch Fallout took a deep breath; blood started to flow from the corner of his mouth. According to the script, Daoist Priest Wuwei’s lifespan was nearing its end, and each attack would place a large burden on his already old and weak body.
His vision was fixed on Evil General Mingyue.
❄️❄️❄️
‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’ felt that everything was proceeding smoothly. The camera had been focused on True Monarch Fallout and him all along since this clash between titans started.
As long as the camera focused on him, it implied that he would have a powerful presence.
Therefore, he had to perform this scene to the best of his capacity! He had to surpass even that scene that took place at the start of the movie, when Venerable White and little friend Song Shuhang fought!
“Old man, take my attack!” ‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’ dragged the large sword behind him, dashing forward at high speed. His sword intent was simply terrifying!
Daoist Priest Wuwei wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth. He didn’t try to defend himself, deciding to meet the incoming attack head on! He also dashed forward, with the sword pointing toward Evil General Mingyue.
Sword intent exploded from the bodies of the two True Monarchs as the distance between them was getting closer and closer.
“Ah!”
“Die!”
Both of them gravely shouted.
The large sword could count on its unparalleled raw power!
The treasured sword could count on its lightning-quick speed!
Sword light flashed throughout the surrounding area as Daoist Priest Wuwei and Evil General Mingyue brushed past each other.
❄️❄️❄️
Half a breath later…
“Ding~” Evil General Mingyue’s scary helmet was cut into two and fell to the ground, with his long hair fluttering in the wind.
Behind him, Daoist Priest Wuwei spurted blood from his mouth, and fell loudly to the ground…
Evil General Mingyue put away his large sword, and said coldly, “Old man, you were past your expiration date. Your fate was decided since the very beginning… only death awaited you.”
The whole fighting process was natural and smooth. It was a very high-level battle.
But… why did everything end up with an instant kill?! ‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’ roared inwardly.
According to the script, Daoist Priest Wuwei and he would fight a great battle. Such being the case, why had Daoist Priest Wuwei died after just one move?
Couldn’t he have fought against him for 300 rounds before dying in a touching and moving way?
Actually, there wasn’t anything wrong with concluding the battle with an instant kill. ‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’ was just worried about his screen time. Although it was rather cool to conclude the battle with an instant kill, the scene would end up being just a dozen or so seconds long as a consequence. How would the audience remember him if that was the case?
After the conclusion of the great battle, the camera was ready to shift to the next scene.
The remaining moment was only enough to allow ‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’ to display a cool pose.
This whole battle between titans didn’t last even a minute in total.
‘Fellow Daoist When the Bright Moon Appears’ was already looking for a bed where he could cry himself to sleep.
❄️❄️❄️
The battle between Daoist Priest Wuwei and Evil General Mingyue had come to an end.
As such, all the seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group that were lying on the ground and playing dead got up one after another.
Northern River’s Loose Cultivator helped Medicine Master take care of the corpses of the demons lying on the ground. Although the corpses were demons of the Third or Fourth Stage for the most part, the quantity was very high.
If put together, they would amount to a considerable sum.
After processing them a bit, Medicine Master could give some souvenirs to the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group and Venerable Spirit Butterfly’s subordinates.
The remaining seniors of the Nine Provinces Number One Group protected Jacob’s Production Team, and headed toward the secret passage to shoot the next scene.
After getting up, True Monarch Fallout, True Monarch Ancient Lake Temple, and True Monarch Tyrant Flood Dragon headed outside the mountain residence to help Scholar Xian Gong deal with the remaining demons of the Netherworld that were still alive.
The scene of the destruction of the Immaterial Cloud Sect was almost over. Therefore, there was no need to keep these ‘villains’ alive any longer.
❄️❄️❄️
Usually, one would take a break after shooting a scene, but the current situation was a bit special… the demons of the Netherworld Realm, who were playing the part of the villains, weren’t planning to cooperate.
Thereupon, with the help of the fellow daoists of the Nine Provinces Number One Group and the ‘illusory butterflies’, the members of Jacob’s Production Team packed the equipment, stage props, cameras, and so on, and headed toward the secret passage of the Immaterial Cloud Sect as quickly as possible.
At the same time, Fairy Lychee guided the army of demons like a ‘shepherd’ and brought them to the secret passage.
Then, after waiting for the members of the movie crew to set up the cameras, lighting, etc., she would make them enter the secret passage and have them meet with Song Shuhang and the others.
❄️❄️❄️
As soon as Director Jacob gave the signal, the shooting of the movie began.
“Dammit, the army of the demonic realm chased us up to this point!” Su Clan’s Sixteen, who was playing the role of ‘Traceless Saber’ from the White Sword Sect, shouted.
Young Master Phoenix Slayer assumed his real form, playing the role of the guardian beast of the sect, the Heaven Devouring Cat, and said, “Great Master Silence, protect the disciples and keep running. I’ll stay behind and bring up the rear!”
Great Master Profound Principle joined his palms together and silently nodded.
The Heaven Devouring Cat turned around and pounced toward that group of demons of the Netherworld, getting entangled in a catfight with them.
Since the plot required it, the Heaven Devouring Cat was unable to block all the demons on its own!
Some of the quicker demons instantly brushed past the Heaven Devouring Cat, and pounced toward the disciples of the Immaterial Cloud Sect.
The two no-name disciples of the Immaterial Cloud Sect in the rear resolutely turned around, taking upon themselves the responsibility to protect the rear.
However, they were simply too weak. Around five breaths later, the pitiful cries of the two disciples echoed.
They were surrounded and attacked by several demons at once, falling ‘dead’ to the ground.
After they fell, a transparent barrier shrouded their bodies and protected them.
The enraged demons of the Netherworld crazily attacked the transparent defensive barrier, but it was all useless.
Afterward, the ability of the barrier to conceal one’s aura activated. Thereupon, the demons of the Netherworld gave up on these two no-name disciples of the Immaterial Cloud Sect, and continued to chase after the people in the front.
❄️❄️❄️
“It’s my turn to enter into action,” Song Shuhang said.
Then, he glanced at the transparent barrier covering the bodies of those no-name disciples. So that was how it was. That barrier would prevent the demons of the Netherworld from causing harm to the actors that were ‘playing dead’ and lying on the ground.
But here came the problem… where was his barrier? Why didn’t Yu Jiaojiao give him this equipment?
Was it possible that it was incorporated into the mechanism installed in his daoist robe?
Yeah, that should be it! The protective barrier was likely going to activate together with the mechanism hidden in his daoist robe.
After seeing that the demons of the Netherworld behind them were getting closer and closer, Song Shuhang stopped in his tracks.
“Senior Brother Gao? Why did you stop? Let’s quickly run away!” his two lackeys asked in puzzlement.
Song Shuhang slowly unsheathed the treasured saber Broken Tyrant, and said his cool line. “This time, someone has to stay behind and help Sir Heaven Devouring Cat protect the rear. If the demons manage to catch up, the consequences would be unimaginable. I’m the senior brother, and it’s my duty to protect all these junior brothers and junior sisters. Therefore… leave the enemy to me. I’ll hold them back for you!”
After saying this sentence, Senior Brother Gao Sheng pursued justice without turning back, pouncing on the demons of the Netherworld.
The initially hated Senior Brother Gao Sheng would wash away his sins and come out clean after this scene.
❄️❄️❄️
“Evil demons, eat my saber attack!” Song Shuhang gave his all, and attacked the demons.
This time, there was no need for him to hold back.
After all, it was the last scene in which the demons of the Netherworld would perform. Therefore, Song Shuhang went ahead and used his real strength.
Actually, since he had just entered the Third Stage Realm, he wasn’t going to last long while fighting against tens of demons of the Third and the Fourth Stage…
