Chapter 425 Has she returned to being a person of the Plain Arts?
Enraged by the term "scoundrel snake," the golden serpent could not accept that its perfect body had been insulted. It raised its neck, its serpentine eyes fixed on Yu Sui, and said, "Half a piece of the Breath Soil is a treasure to you, but also a burden. This torrential rain will not stop, and even the heavens will kill you."
Yu Sui let his words go in one ear and out the other. Yu Sui was mainly focused on Tang Yuan, whose abilities Nian Qiuyan had once mentioned.
The various schools of thought, each with its own strengths, are not all adept at killing and fighting, especially the divination school. However, the divination school also has its unorthodox methods. If one focuses on divination formations and does not cultivate astronomical observation, then one can basically be regarded as a military strategist.
Tang Yuan not only specializes in divination arrays, but his method of divination is also unorthodox. By exchanging lives for divination, he can break through other people's divination techniques and take people's heads from thousands of miles away.
The Fang family's life-changing technique was forbidden to cultivate, yet Tang Yuan mastered it to perfection.
Tang Yuan, who was being stared at by Yu Sui, simply picked up the Divine Wood Token, and the Mountain and Water Divination Formation unfolded around him, directly clashing with Yu Sui's Blazing Sun Formation.
Mountain and water runes covered the ground and walls, some of which were burned to ashes and scattered across the world just before they reached Yu Sui.
The golden serpent raised its head and let out a sharp screech, transforming into a flying serpent with outstretched wings that soared into the sky, its dazzling golden scales resembling colorful clouds in the rain.
It summoned wind and rain in the air, gathering the torrential rain from heaven and earth to form a huge water dragon whirlwind, trapping Yu Sui within it.
Wind rises, water surges, air explodes—a triple strike.
Above, a golden serpent summoned wind and rain; below, the Tang Yuan Mountain and Water Divination Array gathered energy. In a short time, such a massive accumulation of water and energy directly crushed Yu Sui's Blazing Sun Array and extinguished her fire patterns.
After the space was cut off, she could no longer draw on the five elements of heaven and earth. Yu Sui couldn't even use her protective energy. She stared at the raging wind and rain and looked up at the golden serpent in the sky.
At this moment, it seems to have transformed into a water dragon, controlling all the water in the world.
This thing looks neither human nor snake; I really underestimated it.
"Die!" The golden serpent stared at Yu Sui at the bottom amidst the water dragon storm, its forked tongue flashing like a thunderbolt.
Thunder roared, deafeningly loud.
The storm's water vapor threatened to tear the tiny human below to shreds. She couldn't use her protective aura, nor could she mobilize the five elements of heaven and earth. Even at the tenth realm, it was impossible to use all of her own five elements to withstand this attack.
The Golden Serpent, in cooperation with Tang Yuan, used the simplest and most effective move to deal with Yu Sui, gathering their energy for a fierce battle.
Those outside the storm couldn't see what was happening inside. Even Yuan Xi was isolated, using his qi to resist the raging storm and prevent his five elements qi from being absorbed.
They've even used the Storm Serpent form; the princess is still alive.
Yuan Xi rolled his eyes, stepped back, and distanced himself from them.
Regardless of who dies, with this kind of situation, someone will definitely suffer a reversal of the Five Elements in the end.
The moment Tang Yuan's mountain and water divination array reached Yu Sui's feet, it was covered by a suddenly appearing sea of stars, and the ground of the street had become a river filled with stars.
The flowing starlight burst forth, instantly transforming the damp air into blazing flames.
Reversing the stars and polarity!
Yu Sui stood in the center of the starry sea, staring directly at the golden serpent in the sky. Suddenly, the raging flames caused the golden serpent to tumble and wail in the air.
"Hold on!" Tang Yuan gathered his energy, made a hand seal, and shouted at the golden snake.
They had considered that Yu Sui might be able to defy the stars and reverse the poles. Wu Huaiwei personally declared that Yu Sui was the first disciple in the world to learn her technique of defying the stars and reversing the poles.
But Wu Huaiwei is a saint of the Yin-Yang School, while Yu Sui is only at the tenth realm. Even if he can unleash the power of Reversing the Stars and Reversing the Extremes, he can't possibly be above the thirteenth realm.
The triple attack launched by Tang Yuan and the Golden Serpent would be fatal even to someone at the thirteenth realm, so they were not afraid.
However, at this moment, Yu Sui successfully transformed their Nine Streams Technique, turning the two extremes into one, and then returned this power to Tang Yuan and the Golden Serpent with the same force.
With a roar, the golden serpent swooped down and bit off Yu Sui's head. Its scales fell off in the flames, like thousands of peonies falling in a storm, mixed with dirty blood.
The Reverse Star Returns to its original power, which was capable of killing someone at the Thirteenth Realm. The Golden Serpent couldn't withstand it at all, but it still desperately tried to sneak over and bite Yu Sui to death.
Tang Yuan tried his best to stabilize the mountain and water formation on the ground, but the wind and rain he absorbed were transformed into huge flames by Yu Sui's Reverse Star Technique, which further injured the golden serpent.
By the time he realized this and stopped, it was too late.
The golden serpent vanished amidst white smoke in the flames, then plummeted from the sky with a loud thud, turning into a pool of blood.
Lying in the blood was a strange body still twitching. Yu Sui approached and saw that the head had shrunk into an inverted triangle shape, and the facial features were deformed, like a snake's head. When it opened its mouth and spat out a lot of blood, two sharp teeth and a forked, thin tongue could be seen.
"The supreme technique of the Farmer's School, which is on par with the Ghost Dao School, is called Beast Taming and Spirit Transformation. It seems you've gone astray in your practice?" Yu Sui looked down at him curiously. "Beast Taming and Spirit Transformation is the power of combining the soul and the body to possess a perfect form, not like you, who has become neither human nor snake."
"Hiss..." The golden serpent seemed to want to refute, but as it tried to raise its head to get closer to Yu Sui, it could only let out a hoarse hiss.
“You look nothing like Ou Rushuang’s Beast Taming Divine Transformation.” Yu Sui bent down and leaned closer to it, speaking softly.
Upon hearing this, the golden serpent's pupils widened in shock, and it looked at Yu Sui in disbelief. Could it be that Ou Rushuang was...
Before it could think it through, a flash of golden light appeared before its eyes, and it was beheaded by an unseen gust of wind.
Yu Sui didn't glance at the dead golden serpent again, but turned her gaze to Tang Yuan, who was rapidly retreating and trying to leave her Reverse Star Polarity range.
Tang Yuan looked rather disheveled as he retreated to create distance. He had no time to care about the death of the golden serpent; he was only focused on Yu Sui, afraid that she might suddenly attack and he would be caught in her trap.
It was only then that they realized they had underestimated Yu Sui's ability to reverse the stars and counteract the polarity, but it was too late.
Tang Yuan had just retreated into the house and was about to cast a divination array again when the stars on the roof followed him closely, their eerie purple light flashing intermittently, causing Tang Yuan to break out in a cold sweat.
Since the method of gathering and strangling her energy is not working, we should try to deplete her five elements energy and cause her five elements to become disordered.
Tang Yuan quickly changed his strategy, as he did not believe that Yu Sui could perform the Reverse Star Reversal more than three times.
The first time the stars reversed and the poles reversed was the Feng Shui Triple Strike, which definitely depleted more than half of Yu Sui's power.
Tang Yuan pressed down on his right hand, which had been affected by the flames; the back of his hand was now a bloody mess.
Even though Yu Sui's power was more than half depleted, he was still almost there.
They did not underestimate the Reverse Star Technique, which is why they combined the two to create a triple blast of feng shui energy, using a move that would kill at the Thirteenth Realm to deal with Yu Sui. However, they did not expect that she could easily resolve it.
Tang Yuan couldn't help but wonder if Nangong Sui really only had ten realms.
Her return from Taiyi and advancement to the tenth realm was already astonishing enough, but after actually fighting her, it made people even more doubtful about the authenticity of the tenth realm.
"When will your illusion poison take effect?" Tang Yuan asked in the direction where Yuan Xi was hiding.
Yuan Xi said, "The current situation has little to do with the Illusionary Gu Poison. Her Reverse Star Counterattack far exceeded our estimates. Now that the snake is dead, what are you going to do? Do you have any other tricks up your sleeve?"
Tang Yuan ignored his questions and asked again, "Was she poisoned or not?"
"She probably got it!" Yuan Xi sighed, "but it's hard to say, because she seems perfectly fine."
Tang Yuan, however, said, "She encountered Wei Lingshu."
“The poison was on Wei Lingshu; it was bait, and Nangong Sui did fall for it. But do you see any sign of her being out of balance?” Yuan Xi countered.
"Then I'll ask you: did you poison Nangong Sui or not?" Tang Yuan laughed angrily. "What exactly are you trying to do?"
"In the end, I'm just a weak doctor who can't fight," Yuan Xi said helplessly, tapping the wall with his finger. "My specialty has always been treating your imbalanced five elements and various injuries. I'm really not good at poisoning or killing people."
Tang Yuan ignored his sophistry: "Do you think Miss's ship is about to capsize and you're preparing to jump into the sea?"
"I didn't say that, don't slander me." Yuan Xi kicked the wall with his other foot this time. "I just want you to think carefully about whether you can fight Nangong Sui and whether you have a chance of winning. At least in my opinion, you don't. You might as well give up and find someone else."
Tang Yuan sneered: "Your turn?"
Yuan Xi turned his head to look in one direction and said softly, "Let's replace them with the three yellow orioles in the back."
Tang Yuan hid, and Yu Sui didn't rush to find him.
Besides the ones who were in the open, there were three others hiding in the shadows who hadn't made a move yet. Yu Sui had a feeling that these three were even more difficult to deal with than Xuan Kui's men.
Judging from Tang Yuan's expression, he didn't seem to know about the three of them. If it weren't for the strange fire, Yu Sui wouldn't have been able to detect them either. They concealed their auras very well, not revealing themselves even when the qi gathered.
Tang Yuan analyzed that Yu Sui's strength had been depleted by more than half, but Yu Sui's depletion was even greater than he had thought, because her previous injuries had not yet healed, so she did not intend to engage in close combat with Tang Yuan and expose this fact.
However, Qin Shan injured not only her hands and feet, but also her soul. Even if her Heavenly Eye could be healed, it would take time.
Yu Sui was not in her best condition, so Nangong Ming had really chosen the right time to kill her.
Sometimes Yu Sui had to sigh at how lucky Nangong Ming was. Whether in the past or now, things always seemed to go in his favor.
Nangong Ming doesn't need to do anything; he just needs to wait. Time will eventually bring him an opportunity.
Although the golden serpent is dead, the wind and rain that have gathered here have not yet ended. The gale rattles the doors and windows, and the torrential rain lashes down like falling rocks.
Yu Suisan vanished into the rain and mist after disappearing from the starry sea.
At the end of the street, three figures still stood in the pouring rain.
Dao Xuan, with two long swords tucked behind his waist and his arms crossed in front of his chest, stared ahead with a cold and stern expression and said, "They escaped?"
“She’s hiding.” Standing under the eaves, Li Anmeng raised the whisk in her hand. “Her reversal of the stars and the reversal of the poles means she has learned at least six or seven tenths of the skill.”
“The future is promising.” Tang Fei touched her white eyebrows and sighed. Beneath the white eyebrows were a pair of dazzling golden eyes. “She was injured, her soul has not yet recovered, and her hands and feet are not convenient. The reversal of the stars and the reversal of the extremes just now have consumed most of her energy.”
"How about the Blazing Sun Formation?" Dao Xuan turned to look at Tang Fei.
Tang Fei said, "When the qi is abundant, it flourishes; when the qi dissipates, it perishes."
Dao Xuan frowned and cursed gruffly, "Isn't that obvious!"
Tang Fei sighed and said, "Her Blazing Sun Formation mainly relies on absorbing qi and dispersing its form. As long as you are in a state of no qi within the formation, you will not be affected."
Dao Xuan then suddenly realized what was going on.
“If things really come to a head, we need to be wary of her using the power of the Yin Fish,” Tang Fei continued. “This weather is favorable to her; the Yin Fish is like an uninhabited place when it comes to water.”
Dao Xuan asked again, "What do you mean?"
Tang Fei pointed to the sky and explained, "All the energy in the world belongs to her. No one can compete with her for the energy in the world. If the energy in her light core has dissipated, it will actually help her to instantly replenish her energy."
Li Anmeng said, "We can form an array to sever her connection with heaven and earth, or we can imprison her in your armory formation. Besides, it's hard to say whether she can use the power of the Yin Fish. I heard that the power of these two fish was forcibly sealed by the saints of Taiyi in order to keep them safe. If the Yin Fish is released, she may be the first to suffer."
Dao Xuan scratched his head and said, "But did you see her starry sea just now? The power corresponding to the Kun and Gen positions was weak and dim."
Tang Fei: "Since you've noticed this, why can't you think about it more?"
Dao Xuan retorted, "Isn't that why I asked you—because I couldn't think of anything?"
Tang Fei's eye twitched, and she held back her tears: "Only by sealing her Kun Gen power could the Breath Soil absorb the Qi in her body and thus cultivate."
Dao Xuan suddenly asked, "If we release the power of Kun and Gen and continue to let the Breath of Earth absorb her energy, will she turn back into a person of the Plain Arts?"
Tang Fei and Li Anmeng paused, looking at Dao Xuan with strange expressions, unsure whether to call him foolish or clever.
