Chapter 927: Got It!

“Could a kitten have moved so swiftly? How could it be?” exclaimed one of the men, “Perhaps this creature is already a heaven class mystical beast?”

“Probably more – this kitten may be a mixed Yao beast…”

“It’s still an offspring, isn’t it?”

“Looks like it…”

As the four of them discussed, they did not plan to give up on trying to catch the bizarre white cat. Whether it was a mystical beast or a creature that had degenerated a step further into a Yao beast, whether it was owned or not, they would think about that only after capturing it.

By then, the other Cangwu experts had arrived, rushing in from above and below.

“What’s happened?”

“It was a cat?”

“Uh…”

“Catch it!”

Opinions came crashing in waves, the commotion gaining momentum in size and noise.

There were only Cangwu Union’s leader and two junior brothers who, with fluttering sleeves, sprinted into the Tower of Martial Keeping without any regards to the kitten that was still making its escape.

To them, no mystical beast was more important than making sure their school’s arcane defenses and Celestial Luck Banner were safe and sound.

…

As Whitey Two temporarily distracted the attention of the tower guards and led them away from the building, Yun Yang knew that he could not miss this opportunity. Without hesitation, he swept away all the racks on the first level with a wave of his arm. Rushing to the second level without any hesitation, he similarly took in all the shelves there and charged up to the third level.

Repeating what he did and sprinting to the fourth level, Yun Yang suddenly felt an extraordinary force coming down upon him from above. Not only was the power unstoppable, but it could also lock an entire area of space down.

‘Heaven and Earth Cage?’

The thought flashed across his mind but he shot up anyway. If he had taken a step back now, there was no other way he could reach the top anymore.

The force pressed down aggressively – the Heaven and Earth Cage was excellent in parrying all forms of mystical arts of the world, being intimidatingly powerful. If Yun Yang were in his physical form meeting this force, only death would await him. However, he was now manifested as the winds and clouds; he was bound by the Heaven and Earth Cage, but the art could not destroy something as ethereal as wind and clouds.

In other words, the impressive force first targeted a space before turning to destroy its enemy using a tidal wave of power.

While Yun Yang’s wind and cloud manifestation were restrained by this power, he also had a moment of respite!

With a soft pop, the wind and cloud manifestation was crushed by the force, unable to take its pressure, but the space restraints vanished as well. Ultimately, Yun Yang’s physical self was intact, despite the blow that had been dealt at his manifestations.

The huge risk that Yun Yang took from which he had emerged successfully did not mean he was exempted from suffering. His organs and divine senses felt as if they had been pounder upon by a massive hammer, waves of vertigo hitting him as he felt utterly wrung out.

The Cangwu Union had hidden a formidable master here on the topmost floor of the tower. It was brilliant, an ambush for the unexpected invader!

Barely maintaining the clarity he had, Yun Yang rushed to the fourth floor with what was left within him only to see a tall elder by the staircase staring at the void in front of him suspiciously. It was evident that the elder was not confident at all if his attack had gotten his enemy.

An enemy who could not be tracked, hiding his trail with the manifestation of wind and cloud, was always the hardest to tackle. This elderly man was not sure if his attack was effective and if it was, how effective it had been.

In spite of this, as Yun Yang made another move, he felt the odd stirrings in the air and turned around immediately, striking another section of the Heaven and Earth Cage.

Yun Yang had just arrived at the highest level but he was, once again, trapped by the caging art. Panic did not engulf him as he was still in his wind and cloud form; while the other had restrained him, he still could not be seen.

As expected, the elder compressed the space again and while Yun Yang could not escape from being crushed again, he was still able to quietly gather his cloud self and advance without a sound.

Failing to see any outcome from the attack, the elder began to look worried. He was a veteran, noticing that he had met perhaps the most challenging enemy of this lifetime.

He could not launch an effective attack when it was a shapeless intangible enemy without any hint of a physical presence to track. Despite knowing that his enemy was around him, he could hardly strike because he could not lock down his aim.

Both of his attacks just now felt like they struck the enemy, but his senses told him that the blows had landed in the air with no suggestion of penetration nor rebound.

It felt absolutely awful!

What was the truth then? Was the enemy hit? Was he injured?

What was happening now?

The elder was completely clueless to it all!

The instantaneous judgment caused the elder to launch his attacks continuously, a decision made from trusting his instinct as a martial artist. Since the enemy had intruded the tower, he must have come with a motive. Whether the elder’s earlier attacks had dealt actual damage or not, they must have affected the enemy somehow. Based on this thought, he launched his attacks ceaselessly since the Heaven and Earth Cage was the bane of all arcane skills in this world; it must work in the end as it slowly ground away at the enemy’s mystical Qi and energy.

The elder’s plan was wonderful, but after seven strikes, he was baffled to see that all shelves on the fourth floor had disappeared in an instant… The attacker must have been wounded under his dense attacks no matter how mystical his own cultivation method was – yet he was still thinking to steal at a time like this!

“Vermin!”

The elder was enraged, bellowing in fury, “Leave the things here alone!”

He then dealt another three strikes almost insanely, the force that came with them several times more powerful than the nine attacks earlier. Following the three serial attacks, the rooftop of the Tower of Martial Keeping flew off with a large crash, shattering as it flew.

It was at this moment that Cangwu’s Leader, Hong Changtian, alongside two junior brothers had arrived, calling out from afar, “Senior uncle! Is the Tower of Martial Keeping alright?”

Everything seemed a lot to speak of but it had happened in the blink of an eye.

The “senior uncle” looked ashamed as he roared, “The thief’s robbed all of the tower’s mystical methods and arcane magic! Come quickly!”

The three men were alarmed, speeding up their entry.

The remaining thirty percent of Yun Yang’s wind manifestation was spread around the staircase. When the three men had brushed past him in their sprint towards the top floor, they almost brought Yun Yang up as well.

Pushing his mystical cultivation and assisted greatly by Emmie, Yun Yang finally forced his wind-manifested self to slowly drift upwards. He was severely damaged, no longer able to speed off in his attempt to escape.

It was fortunate that Cangwu Union’s gate was situated at the peak of a mountain. With the billowing mountain gale, Yun Yang leveraged on the wind, allowing the gale to bring his wind form higher and farther from Cangwu Union…
