My Master Disconnected Yet Again

In less than five minutes, her opponent was about to be forced off the stage. Hui Ling twirled the sword in her hand and the dharma spell immediately changed. Thousands of steel rings immediately started gathering in the sky, then they transformed into a rope which flew towards her opponent.

Hui Ling heaved a sigh of relief. There was a triumphant look on her face as she said, “It’s over.”

“You’re right!” Just then, a male voice suddenly rang out behind her. The next moment, a formidable blade came swinging towards her. Startled, Hui Ling wanted to defend herself but it was too late. The glittering sword blade had reached her face. “It’s really over..”

“Ah!” Hui Ling screamed. The sword did not land on her body, for at the critical moment her dharmic protective vest activated and blocked off her opponent’s attack.

“Huh?” Her attacker stepped back in surprise.

Hui Ling starting backing away. Now she could see clearly her attacker was one of the trio in the rival team. She had not even known when he had come up behind her, how could that be? Hui Ling’s lack of combat experience showed; she was terribly flustered by her opponent’s move. Subconsciously, she gripped the Fire Subduer Fan and swung it behind her. Instantly, the Deviant Fire burst into flames and began engulfing the only safe place on the platform.

Her opponent was stunned for a moment, then he broke into a derisive smile. Stupid fool! He conjured a seal to ward off the Deviant Fire. He had been racking his brains on how to force her into the Deviant Fire but she had trapped herself inside instead.

Immediately, he turned to the front and commanded, “Activate the formation!”

At once, the two men descended from the sky.

Holding the dharmic seal in his hand, he bent down and struck the ground with it. The Deviant Fire covering the ground surged with a dazzling white light and the array formation started to glow brightly. The design of the array formation suddenly appeared on the platform. The Golden Steel Ring that was summoned by Hui Ling but was struck down by her three opponents was actually the medium that activated the array. The three men were the ones who had set up the array formation and it was also…

“The Five Elements Reversal Formation!” Someone in the crowd cried out in surprise.

The array formation on the entire platform was now lit up. The Deviant Fire, which had been burning brightly, was instantly extinguished. The whole platform was now sealed off by a layer of ice. Rays of sharp ice blades emerged from the array formation and headed straight for Hui Ling.

“Ah!” Hui Ling cried out in fear. She had wanted to use the Fire Subduer Fan to summon the Deviant Fire to melt the ice but felt a sudden weight on her hand. Looking down, she saw that her whole hand was covered by a layer of thick ice. Now she could not activate her Immortal Qi, let alone use the Fire Subduer Fan.

The Five Elements Reversal Formation reversed the Five Elements Sorcery in the array. The Fire Subduer Fan summoned the Deviant Fire. What had emerged from the array was the Ten Thousand-Year-old Ice, which froze everything that was of the fire-element.

Hui Ling was in a total panic. She wanted to rush out but the surrounding ice blocked her and was getting closer and closer to her, as if it wanted to freeze her too. There was nowhere for her to escape. Subconsciously. she looked towards the two people who had been forced to a corner by the Deviant Fire. They were now standing just outside the array formation.

The two-women team from the Invincible Sect was at a loss as to what they should do. Then the sagely advice of a certain sect elder came to their mind.

Hence, Disciple Number One stepped forwards, stretched out her arms and dropped flat on the ground. At the same time, she yelled out in clear and ringing tones, “Ai yah! I fell down!”

“Junior Sister!” Disciple Number Two cried out anxiously. Suddenly she too dived to the ground. “Ai yah! I fell down too.”

Shen Ying: “…”

Yi Qing: “…”

Chen Ge: “…”

The emperors: “…”

All at once, numerous pairs of eyes turned towards Lonemoon.

Lonemoon: “…”

What the heck, I never told you to act so pretentiously!

(╯°Д°)╯(┴┴

The whole area fell into an eerie silence.

The trio in the opposing team were the first to react. Losing interest in the other two girls, one of them pointed at Hui Ling and said, “Finish her off first!” Then, clutching his dharmic weapon, he charged towards her.

“No…” Hui Ling instantly turned pale. Seeing that there was nowhere to hide, she took out her bracelet and summoned forth thousands of Golden Steel Rings. But she was obviously deeply frightened; her moves were totally chaotic. She only focused on summoning out ever more Golden Steel Rings but not on her target.

As to be expected, the rings did not hit any of her opponents, instead, they hit the surrounding ice pillars. These pillars had been conjured from the array set up by her Golden Steel Rings. As they were formed from the same elements, the rings not only did not destroy the pillars, they rebounded on her.

Hui Ling was unable to dodge in time. Within moments, her face was swollen and bruised. Her injuries were not caused by her opponents but by her own rings.

The trio in the sky: “…” Enemies voluntarily offering their lives were new to them.

The three men did not delay any further, they decide to strike at their enemy now that she had lost her focus. As her dharmic vest was impervious to their sword and immortal sorcery, they had to resort to attacking her with punches and kicks.

Before long, the whole area was filled with blood-curdling pig-like shrieks from a certain someone. Her pure and innocent persona vanished completely.

Chen Ge’s face darkened immediately. Clenching his hands, he took in a deep breath, and managed to resist the urge to rush up to the platform.

The three men stopped their attack after a while. Perhaps they could tell that their opponent was powerless to defend herself. One of them directly kicked her off the platform.

“Little Ling!” Chen Ge rushed forwards, caught his disciple in his arms and returned to the viewing platform. As he tended to the badly beaten Hui Ling, he glared angrily at Chu Xuan, who was sitting opposite. It was only a sparring practice, yet they had been so heavy-handed in their attack. He could not help feeling some resentment against the Invincible Sect. They had deliberately avoided coming to her aid.

“Mast ter….” Hui Ling called out to him pitifully. If she still had her pretty and lovable looks, she might have attracted some sympathy from the audience, but now no one…

Except Chen Ge. Still viewing Hui Ling through rose-tinted glasses, he said tenderly, “Be a good girl, don’t talk till you’re better.”

“Ah… She’s your disciple.” Chu Xuan seemed to have become aware of the importance of Hui Ling to Chen Ge. Giving a cold snort, he said jeeringly, “That’s right. Only a person like you would take in such a useless disciple.”

“You…” Chen Ge was furious but he controlled his anger.

Chu Xuan laughed cockily. “Looks like my He Chuan team is the… Huh?”

Before he could finish his sentence, he felt two beams of immortal qi surge up from the platform and subconsciously looked down. The two disciples that he thought would be easily dealt with now that Hui Ling was out of picture, stood on the platform, immortal Qi started spewing out from their bodies. Their previously short and puny bodies had shot up and muscles began to bulge out from their slender arms.

They were… body cultivators!

Holy shit! Did they still exist?!

Σ(°△°|||)

The trio on the platform, like Chu Xuan, did not know what to make of these body cultivators. Even the one who had rushed forward to attack them was in a daze. Just as he was about to pull back, a fist flashed before his eyes.

His felt a great throbbing pain in his chest. The next moment, he lay on the ground, flattened by the punch. Blood surged up to his throat and spurted out from his mouth.

“Junior Brother!” The two men in the air cried out in shock. Just as they were about to rush to his aid, they heard a whooshing sound behind them.

When the two men reflexively turned around to defend themselves, the other body cultivator was raising her leg to kick at the person on the right. He managed to summon a defensive array at the very last moment. Crash! The array shattered under her leg and he was kicked out of the platform.

Huh?

Before the one remaining man had time to react, a fist was already flying towards him. He could feel an irresistible force bearing down on him, then it struck him and the impact knocked him off from the sky. Boom! His whole body crashed through the platform and several inches of the ground. Then he passed out.

The two body cultivators…

Yay, without that nuisance, they could now fight without any qualms.

Oh, but the match has ended!

The crowd: “…”
