"Rulai Divine Palm?" I shouted, the altitude already surpassing the protective canopy of the Nine Immortal Caves. The ground was still, but the wind in the sky was immense, so I had to shout to be heard clearly.
"Ah! That's a good name! Then it shall be Rulai Divine Palm!" Long Yue declared, twisting her waist and spinning me 180 degrees in the air. I was now head down, in freefall, plummeting downwards!
But her descent was slightly slower than freefall. I, however, was not. I was in full gravity, my body instinctively sliding down. My legs were already growing weak, and I couldn't get any leverage while inverted. My hands also began to slip, sliding from her waist down to the area just outside her heart. Fortunately, a circular ridge on her clothing stopped my descent, though the ridge itself was somewhat soft.
Long Yue paid no mind to this. Her gaze was fixed intently on the ground. Just as we were about to crash into the transparent jelly cloud, she switched hands and slapped it.
With a resounding boom, the entire jelly cloud seemed to suddenly gain gravitational potential energy and slammed downwards!
In an instant, the flowers, trees, broken walls, and even the two helicopters in the desolate village were flattened into paper!
After the attack, Long Yue flipped us back over and we landed slowly. My feet touched the ground, I released her waist, and my legs gave out, leaving me collapsed on the ground.
My field of vision lowered. It was so flat. This time, it was truly a giant pancake!
There was a rectangular black area beneath my feet. I touched it before realizing it was the flattened Audi car. All that was visible to the naked eye was its roof and hood!
"How was that?" Long Yue asked, dusting her hands without even a hint of breathlessness. "I only used half my power. Are you convinced?"
"...Convinced!" I was truly and wholeheartedly convinced! It wasn't to belittle Yao Yao. It took Yao Yao a long time to conjure a great Azure Dragon, and when it struck, it only destroyed the Han Yin Temple. But this Long Yue, with a single effortless palm, wiped out an entire village!
The area of this village was more than a hundred Han Yin Temples!
"So, you choose the second option then?"
"Do I have a choice?" I asked with a bitter smile.
"Good. Then you go up and bid them farewell. You're coming with me now. I'm hungry and want to eat in the city." Long Yue said, turning and walking towards the village entrance without looking back.
I didn't dare utter a word of protest, nor did I dare harbor any further thoughts of defiance. I feared her second palm would be aimed at the Nine Immortal Caves, crushing all the spirits within, including Yao Yao, into a sandwich!
Before me lay a vast expanse of flat ground. I ran straight to the foot of the mountain. By then, Lin Chi, San Qing, and Sha Wuji had driven down, asking me what exactly I had said to Long Yue.
Upon learning that Long Yue's sole purpose was to take me away, everyone was perplexed.
"Could it be because you're handsome?" Lin Chi frowned, then answered his own question, shaking his head. "No way. Long Yue isn't blind, and you're not handsome!"
"But not ugly either," Huang Xie'er chimed in with a smile.
"You're still smiling!" Lin Chi playfully hit her. "The person our superiors ordered us to protect was him! He's been snatched away, how do we explain ourselves when we go back?"
"Weren't you here to protect Mu Ji Ge?" I asked, frowning.
"The superiors didn't say that," Lan Yu'er stated. "They only said to protect Wu Cheng Feng. It was you who insisted on protecting Mu Ji Ge, and we helped."
"...Why protect me? Do I have some special value?" I asked.
At this point, I was starting to feel rather strange.
Mu Ji Ge, sealed for four hundred years, chose me to help her break the seal.
Xie Bi An, the commander of the Underworld's Emissaries, chose me to become a "living emissary."
So many experts from the Shabia Sect came to protect a "demon leader" who was previously fighting against them.
Now, Mo He Long Yue also specifically requested to take me away!
Although it might be inappropriate to ask, I still wanted to ask.
What secret did I possess...?
