Peerless Genius System

Chapter 720: A majestic battle

When Gu Qianlin saw it with her own eyes, her heart leaped to her throat and she trembled in fear. She would never have imagined that a mere human could attain such a level of power. Xiao Luo had shattered a mountain with just a thrust of his palm!

“This little brat...”

Xiao Luo’s move caught Elder Long by surprise. He did not expect Xiao Luo to deflect his palm strike so easily. Before Elder Long could gather his thoughts, Xiao Luo had turned into a pale-looking monster and was charging at him with an angry roar. Elder Long immediately bounded into the air and flew toward a nearby mountain. He intended to lead Xiao Luo away to a deserted area to do battle and prevent accidental injuries to the others.

ROAR!

The monster also launched into the sky and went after Elder Long.

Moving at extreme speed, and before Elder Long realized it, the monster had already caught up with him. In mid-air, his hideous hand grabbed Elder Long’s head from behind and yanked him down to the ground forcefully.

His power was insurmountable!

BOOM!

The impact resounded a loud bang. The noise loosened the snow on the mountainside and an enormous amount of snow crashed to the ground below. The entire mountain valley sounded like meteorites smashing into it and shook as if an earthquake had hit.

“Xiao Luo, keep your cool... It’s me!”

Elder Long broke free from the white monster’s clasp. It was one of those rare moments when Elder Long’s face showed such seriousness. He retaliated with high-speed combat even as he tried to summon Xiao Luo’s human conscience.

However, his effort was to no avail. The white monster was relentless in his attacks. His every move was lethal. He moved in a well-planned pattern that would eventually corner his target. He resembled a killing machine designed purely to kill.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

Wherever they did battle, the ground crumbled. The energy produced by the exchange of palm-strikes was terrifying. Violent waves of energy rippled out across the surrounding area. Many of the mountain peaks could not withstand such raw force and disintegrated. Just like the snow, they turned into clouds of dust.

“Long, let me help you!”

Tianshan Elder yelled and bounded up quickly to join the battle.

Xiao Quanren hesitated as he was the least powerful of the three elders. But he knew that their utmost priority was to suppress Xiao Luo, so he joined the fight as well.

The three peerless fighters joined forces in combating Xiao Luo, now turned into the white monster. The outcome of the battle was unpredictable. The fight started on the ground initially and even destroyed the mountainside. Then they took to the sky and continued to fight. The effect of the strikes and clashes between their limbs shook the very foundations of the ground, and even the surrounding air crackled and produced distorted visions.

Elder Long, Tianshan Elder, and Xiao Quanren were all knocked to the ground by the white monster. But they were tenacious and kept getting back up and gave everything they had. They had to employ everything they learned throughout their lives in their attempt to suppress Xiao Luo.

BAM! BAM! BAM!

There were thunderous bursts in the sky, and a terrific pressure was pressing down from above. The heaven and the earth trembled from the strain. Both Gu Qianlin and Gu Qianxue, watching from the ground below, felt the air thickening. Breathing was becoming more difficult.

“Sis, look at this. What kind of monster are you married to?”

Gu Qianlin truly felt angry at her sister for devoting herself to such a monster. It was horrible as he looked like a mutated zombie from Resident Evil.

Gu Qianxue remained silent as she stared at the white monster fighting the three great elders in the sky. Her eyes were red again.

Was that Xiao Luo?

She had doubts in her heart, for the monster looked nothing like Xiao Luo. The thing she was looking at had sharp claws, pale skin, long fangs, and red eyes—a creature born in hell and destined to bring down destruction and evil to the world.

“Xiao Luo, forgive me for using such extreme means!”

A piercing and powerful roar burst from the old man and echoed far and wide.

Elder Long’s loose white hair danced in the air. A golden light had engulfed him and made him look like a statue of Buddha. From the sky above, Elder Long raised one hand and turned his palm toward the white monster.

RUMBLE!

A gigantic golden palm suddenly appeared in the sky as Elder Long’s mantra echoed around the world. The size of his golden palm to a human was like comparing an elephant to an ant. The lines on the golden palm were visible as it came crashing down from the sky with great force on the white monster.

The palm was as mighty as the lofty mountains and great rivers, and its power could even change the weather!

The white monster seemed to sense danger. Instinctively, it tried to dodge that attack. But the Tianshan Elder was making rapid hand movements as she channeled her inner force in the monster’s direction.

“The Prison of Heaven and Earth!”

With a roar, a small black prison appeared from thin air and imprisoned the white monster. With the first Prison of Heaven and Earth destroyed, the Tianshan Elder could only create a smaller one. Seen from a distance, the new prison resembled a loose-fitting black robe. It could only wrap the body of the white monster. The prison restrained him and he could not move an inch.

The white monster continued to growl and struggled as he tried to break free of the Prison of Heaven and Earth.

“Xiao Luo, don’t blame us. We want you to wake up!”

Xiao Quanren looked hesitant as he lifted a gigantic boulder that was the size of a four-story building, then threw the boulder with all his might at the white monster.

The gigantic boulder crashed at the white monster like a falling meteor.

KABOOM!

It resulted in tons of dust and snow rising into the air.

While the two elders stalled for time, Elder Long’s golden palm landed squarely on Xiao Luo.

BAM!

That strike pulverized the earth, and the shock waves made the mountains tremor and several peaks collapsed. Even the gigantic boulder thrown by Xiao Quanren smashed to smithereens when it struck Xiao Luo. The entire Tianshan mountain area was convulsing.

The residents at the foot of the mountains and tourists believed an earthquake had just occurred as they felt the ground move. Fear took hold of the people, and they ran toward the open areas. They saw both the beaming golden light at the peak of Tianshan mountain and the unusual avalanche. A terrifying invisible energy wave then exploded on the mountain peak. Although it had no color or shape, everyone could still feel the force and see the surrounding air distort like ripples in water.

“Oh, my God! What just happened there?”

“Could it be that the earlier quake was not an earthquake? Could something be happening on the mountain peak?”

“What is that golden light? There is nothing but snow at the peak of Tianshan, and there isn’t anybody there. Why would there be a golden light?”

“Legend has it that there is a Tianshan Elder who lives on the mountain. But I am not sure if this has anything to do with her.”

“That myth is a few thousand years old. Even if a Tianshan Elder existed, she would have died a long time ago.”

Everyone at the foot of the mountain was in shock. They were in fear as they could not make sense of what was happening on the mountain peak.In the mountains of Tianshan, many peaks had collapsed, including the one where Tianshan Elder’s cave mansion was located. Tianshan Elder managed to teleport to her cave mansion and placed a protective field over the area after the Prison of Heaven and Earth had successfully contained Xiao Luo.Elder Long and Xiao Quanren also returned to the cliff after the battle with the white monster. They were both exhausted and wounded, for the white monster was indeed powerful and inflicted injuries on them.Tianshan Elder sustained the worst injuries. She had already suffered injuries when Xiao Luo broke free from the first Prison of Heaven and Earth. Added to the strain of battle, Tianshan Elder was in a worse condition than the other two. She vomited a lot of blood, and her once youthful appearance had taken a drastic change. Her pitch-black hair was now gray, her cheeks had sunken, and she looked like an old lady. Her skin was rough and age-spots were visible on her wrinkled skin.
