Song of Adolescence

Chapter 178 Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees

Inside Lei Clan Fort.

The Hidden River Patriarch’s palm landed on Grandmaster Tang’s back and his robes filled up with qi, billowing up instantly.

Tang Xuan and the others were startled at first, before they made the realisation that the Patriarch\'s palm wasn’t attacking Grandmaster Tang, but lending his power to Grandmaster Tang so that they could combine their strength and stop that sword of wind and thunder.

They didn’t just manage to stop it. They even forced Lei Yunhe and Lei Hong to retreat successively.

"What\'s this? Why is their internal strength so strong?" Lei Hong exclaimed in surprise.

"What!" Lei Yunhe exclaimed as he looked at Grandmaster Tang.

Grandmaster Tang calmly inhaled a long breath, and his entire person started to change. His originally stooping body was instantly straightened, his joints cracked, and the muscles all over his body became knotted. In the blink of an eye, he became much taller and more powerful.

"Yunhe, does the Tang Clan have such rejuvenation martial arts?" Lei Hong asked.

Lei Yunhe shook his head. "This is not some rejuvenation. It’s just Grandmaster Tang exerting all of his life’s power at the same time. Looks like he’s staking his life on this fight."

"Grandmaster Tang with all of his life’s power?" Lei Hong was stunned.

"Yes, more than sixty years of internal strength." Lei Yunhe frowned. "This is not going to be easy."

Grandmaster Tang’s body had undergone a series of incredible changes and suddenly came to a stop. His pupils became hollow, as if he was looking far, far away.

"Grandmaster, what is the Tang Clan\'s most powerful hidden weapon technique?" A spirited youth raised his head and asked him.

"Naturally, it is the Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees. When it’s used, the entire sky is filled with hidden weapons coming down like rain. There’s nowhere to hide." Grandmaster Tang touched the youth’s head and smiled slightly. "Didn\'t you already learn it, Lianyue?"

"I mastered the Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees at the age of sixteen. Does that mean I can’t improve any more in the future?" The young man shook his head.

"Then what do you want?" Grandmaster Tang asked.

"I want to use all things under Heaven as hidden weapons, and use myself as a hidden weapon." The young man said proudly. "By then, I will be the most outstanding member of the Tang Clan in a hundred years!"

"Excellent. Those are the true words of a member of Tang Clan," Grandmaster Tang said with a smile.

Such a pity that I, Tang Xuance, have lived for more than sixty years, but I’ve always stayed in that stage of Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees. I’m not as good as you, Lianyue.

However, if I die here today, Lianyue, I beg you to look after Tang Clan.

Grandmaster Tang\'s pupils contracted again little by little. He waved his sleeves, raised his hands, and called out softly, "Rise!"

Yama’s Invitation, Dragon Beard Needle, Vermilion Face Dart, Bodhisattva\'s Blood, Iron Caltrop, Wheel of Fate, Plum Blossom Dart, Bone Piercing Needle… Countless hidden weapons flew out of his sleeves and lined up in front of him.

"Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees?" The Patriarch said quietly, his hands still lightly resting on Grandmaster Tang’s back.

Naturally, this was Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees, recognised not only by Tang Xuan and the rest of the Tang Clan members, but also by Lei Hong and Lei Yunhe. But they’d never seen such a terrifying Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees. How’s it possible! How’s it possible to throw out so many hidden weapons at the same time! Was it really something a human can do?

"Die!" Grandmaster Tang yelled fiercely. All the hidden weapons flew up into the sky, and poured down like a waterfall towards Lei Hong and Lei Yunhe.

"Fall!" Lei Yunhe summoned another clap of thunder, two fingers pointed straight into the sky, his power seemingly overwhelming.

Lei Hong also swung the Murderous Dread sword in his hand, and his sword aura overflowed, the intensity of his flames like a conflagration of wildfire.

They both used their most powerful skill!

But was it enough?

Could they stop the Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees from Grandmaster Tang who used his entire life’s power?

Still not enough!

Lei Hong and Lei Yunhe retreated in the midst of the battle, but Grandmaster Tang merely shouted again, "Seize!"

All of the hidden weapons concealed in Tang Xuan, Tang Huang, and Tang Qisha\'s sleeves were also seized by him without thought.

"Die!" Grandmaster Tang slammed his hands downwards, and forced out another Flying Flowers of Ten Thousand Trees!

Both Lei Yunhe and Lei Hong were running through countless possible ways of blocking the attack, but not a single one could let them escape unharmed. And, there was still the Hidden River Patriarch who was still at full strength waiting for them. If they couldn’t block the attack unharmed, they were as good as dead!

"Hate!" Suddenly, there was a scream.

Which came only an instant after Wuxin’s roar.

Wuxin twisted his head around. "They’ve caught up so quickly!"

Right then, a purple shadow brushed past him. Ever since Wuxin mastered the Six Higher Knowledges of Buddhism Divine Step, this was the first time he saw someone who could move so much faster than him. Except, right behind that purple shadow were another two figures who swept past him. They were so fast he almost couldn’t see their figures clearly.

"That’s way too fast!" Wuxin exclaimed. "This is the realm of a sword immortal?"

What Wuxin didn’t know was that of the three people who passed by him, one of them was already peerless, and now her skill had surged explosively, while the other two had exerted all of their strength in order to keep up with that purple shadow as if they were vying for the top.

"Hate!" There was another scream, but that purple shadow had already arrived beside Lei Wujie and the others.

Everyone shuddered at that moment. There was a breath of cold, so cold yet so familiar!

Su Muyu, who was on the verge of victory, was struck just once by the purple shadow, and his entire person flew backwards. But that purple shadow didn\'t stop, and went straight into Lei Clan Fort. Two long swords swung from her hands, a cold aura together with a red light shooting in all directions!

"Hate!" A third scream sounded, and the purple shadow landed on the walls of Lei Clan Fort. She pointed the long sword in her hand, her voice imposing. "Halt!"

All the hidden weapons that had been flying at full speed were instantly enveloped by a layer of frost. Their movements stopped and they fell to the ground one after another. Surviving that close brush with death, Lei Hong and Lei Yunhe turned their heads quickly and looked up.

"Li Hanyi?" Lei Yunhe was stunned.

"She’s… here," Lei Hong whispered.

But this was definitely not the Li Hanyi they knew. Her white clothes and the Armoured Glacier sword were indeed the genuine Li Hanyi. But, the peach wood sword in her hand that was glowing with a red light, the head of purple hair, and the ruthless eyes were not the Li Hanyi they knew.

Qi deviation. They were alarmed.

"Su Changhe!" Li Hanyi swept past the Lei Clan and Tang Clan members, aiming straight for the Patriarch.

"You haven’t completely lost your mind, then? You still know who I am?" The Patriarch sneered.

In Li Hanyi’s hands were the Armoured Glacier sword and the Peach Blossom sword, one cold and one warm. In an instant, her sword intent surged explosively, and she pronounced clearly, "I’m going to kill you!"

The other two figures had also landed on the wall at this time.

"We’ve finally caught up." Carrying a bookcase, the Confucian Sword Immortal Xie Xuan, was covered with sweat as he panted heavily.

"Not just us." The Wrath Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian with a face covered with sword scars, said mildly, “She’s also caught up with the person she’s chasing."

Xie Xuan looked down in surprise. "This is not good."

"Die." Li Hanyi leaped in a single jump, aiming both her swords downwards.
