System's Super Sect-Chapter 698 - 693, Long Yue Rapidly Defeated

At some point, Long Yue was holding a pink umbrella in his hand.

The surface of the umbrella was closed, held protectively in front of him.

Apart from its beautiful appearance, the unique thing about this umbrella was the way Long Yue held it.

Generally, people hold an umbrella by the handle, but Long Yue held it by grabbing the umbrella’s surface with his left hand and the ribs with his right hand, more like holding a sword.

"Fei Yue—" upon seeing this umbrella, He Nian couldn’t help but utter these two words, a hint of surprise flashing through his eyes.

The intention to act instantly halted.

Indeed, He Nian recognized this umbrella.

And the deterrent effect of this umbrella was not small.

In He Nian’s heart, his regard for Long Yue instantly surged to new heights, "I didn’t expect it to be bought by the Long family."

A year ago, an Earth Unrestricted expert passed away, and her personal killing artifact, "Fei Yue", also fell into other people’s hands, eventually landing in the hands of auction merchants.

The competition for this umbrella was fierce at that time, and even the He Mansion participated, but they returned empty-handed.

As a weapon of an Earth Unrestricted expert, it was at least crafted by a Four-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan. Fei Yue was naturally the same. Weapons crafted by a Vortex Divine Artisan can communicate with the Meridian Gate and Vortex Map, bringing an unparalleled power boost. The more powerful the Vortex Divine Artisan, the more evident the weapon.

The exact amplification amount is uncertain, entirely depending on the user’s proficiency. But at least it could narrow the power gap between Long Yue and him. Having an augmentation of only the Three-Vortex Vortex Map, it was already difficult to compare to Long Yue, who possessed the Three-Vortex Vortex Map and Fei Yue.

"Truly the main branch of the Long family, they are willing to let an Earth Unrestricted weapon be used by a Half-Step Earth Unrestricted," He Nian said sourly.

Long Yue took the opportunity to mock, "You’ve already changed your surname to He, why not lick some more? Maybe you can lick a Fei Yue out too."

He Nian’s brow twitched violently; he hated when people mentioned his change of surname!

Those who said this before had already been killed by him.

"Courting death!"

With a shout of anger, He Nian directly clenched his fist and punched towards Long Yue. During the charge, a layer of yellow-black substance attached to his fist in an instant. It was like a protective shell, armoring He Nian’s hand, looking even tougher.

Long Yue directly welcomed the challenge with Fei Yue, pulling out the sword from within the umbrella with his right hand as a white light shot out along with Sword Qi.

Umbrella Sword!

A streak of white light slashed by, the sharp Sword Intent slashing towards He Nian’s fist with the sword edge. He Nian didn’t dodge but confronted it with both fists directly.

Boom!

Punch and sword clashed.

A loud bang echoed, the shockwave from the battle directly cracking the beam and columns of the top floor of the Sea of Clouds Building, and the first floor was in utter chaos.

The maids and servants fleeing from the backyard turned their heads at the sound, seeing the windows shattered and the walls broken with fierce wind, their faces turned pale, and they hastened their escape. The joy they felt when they learned they could work at the Sea of Clouds Building matched their speed as they fled today.

At the same time, a figure flew out of the Sea of Clouds Building.

But he was not escaping.

He was sent flying by a strike from Fei Yue.

Blinded by a fit of anger from Long Yue’s words, He Nian underestimated the power of Fei Yue, foolishly attempting to rely on his Spirit Body’s strength to approach Long Yue.

After being sent flying a hundred feet with a single strike, amidst the startled cries of the surrounding people in the dark, He Nian crawled up from the debris. As he got up, he spat out dust and dirt from his mouth.

That strike completely emptied the anger in He Nian’s heart.

Why did he get so angry when it wasn’t the first or second time he heard those words?

Suddenly, a tricolor startled glance flashed across the night.

Gold, pink, and white.

The tricolor startled glance shot out from the Sea of Clouds Building, heading straight for the just-ascended He Nian.

Bam—

The sound of Vibrating Vein Sound echoed.

"Umbrella Dance!" Long Yue said softly with her red lips.

Fei Yue reformed into a complete umbrella, and Long Yue flung it out. The umbrella opened up, spinning as it flew towards He Nian. With each spin of Fei Yue, an invisible pulling force began to form, pulling everything within a range of twenty to thirty meters and then smashing them to bits as they passed under Fei Yue.

Seeing this, He Nian hurriedly released a Vein Technique.

Bam—

With the sound of Vibrating Vein Sound, a stone wall surged from the ground in front of He Nian.

The next moment, Fei Yue crashed directly into the stone wall, tearing it easily. When Fei Yue flew back to Long Yue’s hand, He Nian had vanished.

"Die!"

Suddenly, a voice cursing came from behind.

Long Yue was startled and hurriedly tried to evade. Yet just as she moved, the ground beneath her suddenly softened, like stepping into a quagmire.

Just as Long Yue was about to leap, the soft earth beneath her feet erupted, releasing a torrent of mud that instantly engulfed Long Yue. The mud seeped into every nook, invading Long Yue’s mouth and nostrils, and the hand that held Fei Yue couldn’t rise.

Moreover, the mud carried a colossal impact force, not only impacting the Spirit Body and swiftly depleting its power but also controlling one’s movements.

Moving was very difficult!

At this moment, He Nian slowly emerged, protruding from the ground.

The once hard ground was now like a water surface, allowing He Nian to come and go freely.

"Earth Level Lower Grade Vein Technique, Flowing Earth Domain. What, never seen it before?" He Nian sneered, knowing that Long Yue could still hear his words from within the slurry.

"If it were your second brother, he wouldn’t have been easily trapped by me. It’s clear he’s just a product of resources, with no combat experience whatsoever. Fei Yue is truly wasted in your hands!"

A greedy thought flashed through He Nian’s mind: to snatch Fei Yue and take the opportunity to kill Long Yue.

Even if he wouldn’t use it, he could still sell it for a large sum of White Crystal.

Of course, the thought was fleeting.

In the next moment, a massive pulling force suddenly emerged from the erupting slurry, which spiraled the slurry up and redirected it. Through this direction, Long Yue burst forth from the slurry, landing on the ground and vomiting profusely, expelling the slurry that had entered her mouth and nose.

"How can there be such a useless person in the main branch of the Long Family." He Nian glanced at Long Yue without intending to continue his attack; since he couldn’t kill her, he was not inclined to bother.

This kind of woman is probably scared to death by now.

After speaking, He Nian looked towards the still-standing Sea of Clouds Tower, intent on heading there.

At this moment, hearing those words, Long Yue lay there stunned for a while. She felt her heart pounding fiercely and perceived the fear emanating from within her. However, recalling He Nian’s humiliation, she slowly scraped the slurry from around her eyes with her hands and stood up resolutely.

In the Long Family, she had no voice, so she chose to wander and explore.

It wasn’t that she loved to play; what else could she do if she didn’t?

Her father and the others always treated her like a child, an eternal child who did nothing but cause trouble.

Yet deep down, she longed to do something for her family.

"A Startled Glance!" Pulling out the sword from the umbrella handle, accompanied by a Vibrating Vein Sound, Long Yue swung towards He Nian’s path.

A sudden golden flash appeared, descending like lightning.

Where it landed, everything it touched was severed, leaving a ten-zhang long, bottomless sword mark on the ground.

However, the powerful strike did not hit He Nian. He Nian, after all, had seasoned experience, having lingered on battlefields for years, his reaction far exceeding Long Yue’s.

After evading the strike, He Nian took out his Giant Hammer from his Storage Ring and turned to smash it towards Long Yue. The hammer fell upon the open umbrella.

Long Yue used the umbrella to block He Nian’s assault while counter-attacking with the "A Startled Glance" sword move.

He Nian knew that Long Yue’s combat experience and skill were far inferior to his, even vastly different. But Fei Yue was a weapon genuinely used by Earth Unrestricted, much better than the Giant Hammer crafted by the Three-Spin Vortex Divine Artisan in his hand. So while attacking Long Yue, he was also wary of her sword.

If struck, it would break skin, even if not fatal.

"Resistance, fine, then I’ll deal with you first. When I’ve beaten you half to death, let’s see if Long Ye shows up." He Nian swung the hammer while verbally dueling.

...

Under the night sky.

With Sea of Clouds Tower at the center, people within thousands of meters began to flee.

At this time, only two people dared to walk inward.

These two were Wen Ping and Zi Ran.

Though Zi Ran walked inward, feeling quite uneasy, she kept a close watch on the center of the combat sounds.

"Sect Leader, where are we going? The forces outside Heaven and Earth Lake are fighting inside. Isn’t this very dangerous for us?"

"Just keep moving, would this Sect Leader lead you to death?" Wen Ping replied indifferently.

Zi Ran nodded reluctantly, could only follow.

If she had known the meal would be so perilous, she wouldn’t have gone out to eat.

Which food isn’t fragrant! Which meal isn’t sweet!

After walking a while, the half-brightened sky from the battle came into view. Still far away, but with her Mountain Suppression Realm eyesight, she could see clearly.

A man and a woman, fighting with power beyond the Mountain Suppression Realm.

Zi Ran recognized one person, the man who was the head of an outside force of Heaven and Earth Lake during the Demon Slaying Competition.

As for the other, Zi Ran didn’t have to think much to know it’s surely from another force.

Such a level of battle, even those three from the Hundred Sects Alliance wouldn’t dare approach, right?

Zi Ran sighed, the path taking more turns, fortunately, Wen Ping called out.

...

After half an hour’s battle, the people from the Hundred Sects Alliance had arrived.

Looking like they were going over to mediate, but were shouted away by the onlookers lead by Tian Mu, choosing to watch from a distance.

At this point, the battle was nearing its end.

He Nian fought more vigorously, while Long Yue grew more fatigued.

Their combat experience was showing decisive impact at this moment.

Long Yue’s Fei Yue no longer had the dominance it did earlier, He Nian’s Giant Hammer swung down without needing to fear Long Yue’s "A Startled Glance".

With relentless Earth Level Vein Skills, the exhaustion of the Spirit Body increased, and the times the "A Startled Glance" could be used grew fewer.

Clearly, Long Yue was about to be defeated.

The Half-Step Earth Unrestricted battle, half-hour was soon coming to close.
