Soul Land 5: The Rebirth of Tang San Chapter 280: The Water Nymph-Mighty Ape-and Blue Luan

Chapter 280: The Water Nymph, Mighty Ape, and Blue Luan

Guan Longjiang stood at the forefront, and his form suddenly gained an odd sense of fluidity. A pale blue halo enveloped him as if everything around brimmed with the breath of life, blue streams of energy pulsing like living beings, rising and falling. This was the Water Nymph Transformation, which granted him mastery over the water element.

Obviously it was this Demonic God Transformation that had led him to become Wu Bingji’s master, as ice and water shared the same origin.

The oppressive aura of a ninth-order powerhouse washed over everyone, akin to the immense pressure faced in the depths of the sea, causing the weaker ones to feel a profound sense of suffocation.

Behind him, Mu Enqing’s figure increased in size and exploded with a formidable aura, displaying a bloodline power Tang San was somewhat familiar with. His towering form, over four meters tall, was packed to the brim with muscles that undoubtedly gave him a titanic amount of explosive strength. This was the transformation granted by the Mighty Ape bloodline, the Mighty Ape Transformation!

Next to him, Mu Yunyu’s form suddenly became light and ethereal, as if weightless. Gentle light and shadow flickered on her, bursting with an odd blue glow. Streams of light flowed, her body erupted in blue light, and a pair of wings unfolded behind her. This was her Blue Luan Transformation.

Among the three teachers, Mu Yunyu’s Blue Luan Transformation was the highest bloodline tier—the Blue Luan was close to a second-tier bloodline. However, due to the dilution of Mu Yunyu’s bloodline, her advancement had somewhat slowed down now.

The aura erupting from the three teachers was simply formidable; with one of them at the ninth order and two at the eighth, their powerful presence instantly diminished Tang San’s team morale.

However, it was completely a different sight to the students of the Redemption Society. After the four senior brothers unleashed the Demonic God Transformation, they could withstand this intense pressure and stand their ground against the teachers, which was nothing short of astonishing.

Keep in mind, these were teachers! What level of cultivation did the four senior brothers possess?

The icy blue light around Wu Bingji suddenly solidified. In the next instant, he raised his right hand and pointed at Guan Longjiang. As students, taking the initiative to attack was a sign of respect for their teachers.

A speck of icy blue light shot out instantly toward Guan Longjiang, manifesting as an icicle.

This one was significantly larger compared to the icicles Wu Bingji normally formed during his cultivation.

Guan Longjiang snorted coldly, and with a sweep of his right hand, a column of water burst forth, rushing toward Wu Bingji and the other three.

With a thunderous yell, Gu Li charged forward, heading straight for the water column, while Cheng Zicheng, with wings flapping behind her, soared into the air, enveloped in dazzling golden light.

Tang San stepped forward, seemingly oblivious to the water column. wind blades burst forth from him like water from a geyser, shooting toward the sky in all directions.

The icicle instantly pierced the water column with a soft splash, startling Guan Longjiang. Despite being hit squarely by the water column he released, the icicle not only didn’t slow down but dramatically increased in speed, reaching him almost instantly.

What shocked him even more was what followed. As he instinctively formed a water shield for defense, the icicle exploded into many hair-like ice filaments that directly pierced the water shield he had formed.

Guan Longjiang was a seasoned powerhouse. Unperturbed by the situation, he made the water in the shield swirl rapidly, intending to grind the ice needles to nothing. However, the ice needles suddenly melted, and the temperature around them dropped instantly. The intense cold immediately froze the swirling water shield!

Since when can he control his power like this?

Guan Longjiang was taken aback. The next moment, he sensed danger, and a water column surged from beneath his feet, pushing his body diagonally backward. His water shield—well, now his ice shield—burst into a shower of ice, scattering in the air. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin(.)c𝒐m

The blast shook Guan Longjiang violently. Meanwhile, the water column he had shot at his opponents had dissipated, having escaped his control.

As if anticipating this outcome, Gu Li had been charging forward with enormous strides, unafraid by the incoming water column. As soon as it dissipated, he made a pirouette, and the “meteor hammer” at the end of his tail swung at Mu Enqing.

Mu Enqing threw a punch, his terrifying force causing a sonic boom in the air. However, right at that moment, everything around him seemed to freeze momentarily, causing his punch to halt abruptly. Naturally, this significantly reduced the force of his attack. When his fist finally collided with the tail hammer, its power had diminished considerably.

The tail hammer swung back, and Gu Li spun with it, launching a second hammer blow almost immediately.

Moreover, the speed of this second blow was twice as high, as if time itself had sped up!

Momentum is proportional with mass and velocity. And while the tail hammer was the same tail hammer, its speed increased so suddenly that Mu Enqing was caught off guard and forced to raise his arms defensively, only to find that the blow was also far more powerful than he’d imagined.

The clash between them unfolded in an instant.

Cheng Zicheng soared into the air and spun like a golden top, unleashing the Golden Wing Wind-Splitting Slash from above as she dove for Mu Yunyu.

Simultaneously, dozens of wind blades swept out, converging toward Mu Yunyu.

Mu Yunyu flapped her wings and emitted a clear, musical bird call. The sound was strangely captivating, comforting, and delightful; the listeners’ hearts were soothed, as if they were hearing the most beautiful sound in the world. This caused Tang San and the others to hesitate momentarily in their actions.

Crowd control!

Tang San immediately realized this, his eyes flashing. The wind blades originally aimed at Mu Yunyu exploded, emitting sharp screeches that cut off her melodious voice.

The Blue Luan was known for having the most beautiful voice among birds, and it was a sub-species of phoenix. It was said that the Blue Luan could transform into a true phoenix if it could undergo rebirth through fire.

Besides the powerful capability of her blue flames, her singing voice could captivate souls and disturb the mind.

The screeches from Tang San’s wind blades could only block the song for a moment, but that moment was enough. The Golden Wing Wind-Splitting Slash had arrived.

Mu Yunyu leaped up, her wings bursting with dazzling light flames. The aqua-blue flames swept upward, directly confronting the Golden Wing Wind-Splitting Slash.

But in the next instant, the golden light cleaved a deep valley into her scorching sea of blue flames; unperturbed, the force of the slash descended upon her, though the gold now bore scorched marks.

Mu Yunyu’s blue flames burst outward, and her figure vanished. Meanwhile, the surrounding flames coalesced into her likeness, and four Mu Yunyus appeared instead!

Cheng Zicheng, naturally, had some understanding of Teacher Yu’s abilities. She hovered in the air where Mu Yunyu had been, her wings sending out blades of golden light that swept toward the surrounding figures of Mu Yunyu.

Simultaneously, Tang San’s wind blades arrived, executing a pincer attack from both sides.

Mu Yunyu’s blue flames exploded once more, soaring into the sky. The blue fire simultaneously burned the wind blades and the golden blades, with many blue flames reconverging in the air to form Mu Yunyu’s figure anew.

Cheng Zicheng’s feet touched the ground, and her figure leaped up again, launching the Golden Wing Wind Splitting Slash from below, slicing toward Mu Yunyu.

Mu Yunyu’s gaze sharpened. The pressure from her students, especially from Cheng Zicheng, exceeded her expectations. The formidable attack power made her feel somewhat overwhelmed.

She knew Cheng Zicheng had advanced to the seventh order, yet she hadn’t expected a student who could only use her Golden Roc Transformation to fly to possess such formidable offensive power.

A melodious bird call emanated from Mu Yunyu, with a ripple of blue spreading from above her head. Feathers sprouted from her back as she used Blue Luan’s Cry again with all her might. She intended to take control of the entire battlefield.

However, the pleasant bird call ceased almost as soon as it had begun.

Two streaks of purple-gold light appeared within Mu Yunyu’s field of view.
