Chapter 73 Midnight Orchid
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...
Xiao Yun threw several fireballs towards the fierce wind and the flying cane.
Swish! The gust of wind met the fireballs and suddenly vanished without a trace.
Before the cane could strike Xiao Yun's head, it was blown into four or five pieces by the fireballs, scattering on the ground as debris.
Uh... Zheng Er and Zheng San immediately widened their eyes, hardly believing what they were seeing.
In their moment of shock, Xiao Yun gathered his energy and leaped in front of Zheng Er, delivering a punch that struck his crown. The crisp sound of shattering bone sent chills down everyone's spine.
Zheng Er fell to the ground, spewing a mouthful of black blood as he cried out, "Old Three, avenge me!"
"Ah..." Zheng San lunged forward like a madman, raising his hand to unleash dozens of hidden weapons that flew towards Xiao Yun from all directions.
"Watch out!" Little Bell reminded.
These hidden weapons glimmered with a blue light under the moonlight, resembling a torrential rain, dense and overwhelming, making it impossible for anyone to evade.
However, Xiao Yun remained completely unfazed.
With a flick of his hand, he sent a blade of wind to meet them.
Clang, clang! The sound echoed as all the hidden weapons were knocked down to the ground.
Orchid Daoist stood by, watching coldly as two members of the Sky Valley Trio fell in an instant. Seeing Zheng San's unique hidden weapon get knocked down so quickly made his heart sink, as if he had fallen into an ice pit, causing him to shiver several times.
What on earth is this guy's background? His skills are simply terrifying!
No, I can't let Zheng San go to his death; otherwise, no one in the martial world will pay him any attention in the future.
He quickly moved to grab Zheng San, who was about to charge at Xiao Yun, pulling him back over ten meters and saying, "Let me handle him!"
Orchid Daoist raised a hand and plucked the orchid from his head.
This was not an ordinary orchid; it looked like it was made of plastic, but in reality, it was crafted over many years using rare materials. It had a name: Midnight Orchid.
Only at Midnight could this orchid absorb the night air and unleash its mesmerizing power. The reason Orchid Daoist waited until midnight to confront Xiao Yun was precisely to use his Midnight Orchid in case of dire necessity.
Originally, he thought that with the abilities of the Sky Valley Trio, there would be no need to resort to his Midnight Orchid, but things had turned out completely beyond his expectations.
While making the orchid, he had pricked all ten fingers and let ten drops of blood fall onto it; blood nourished the flower, which he then infused with True Qi, thus generating its magical power.
However, this orchid also had its weaknesses. If destroyed by the opponent, it would severely injure its master’s mind and spirit, potentially rendering them completely useless.
Facing the current situation, Orchid Daoist knew that among the Sky Valley Trio, Zheng Da held the highest prestige but was the weakest in skill. The second brother was of average ability, making Zheng San the strongest among them.
Although Zheng San was the most skilled of the three, even he might not be a match for Xiao Yun's ghostly techniques. Orchid Daoist thought that at this point, to fulfill Song Chaoyang's mission, he had no choice but to go all out and use his signature move: Midnight Orchid.
He formed a hand seal and chanted softly before calling out "Fly." The orchid suddenly shot from his hand, tracing a beautiful arc as it spun in mid-air, rapidly expanding to the size of an umbrella and shining with a cold white light.
In an instant, the white light of the orchid surged forth, dimming the stars and moon for a day.
"Kid, you need to be careful; this orchid can absorb a person's soul!" Little Bell said anxiously.
Xiao Yun smiled slightly and replied, "It's okay!"
After several days of continuous cultivation, Xiao Yun had refined a perfect protective barrier for himself, which could completely eliminate external disturbances.
Just as he spoke, he slightly closed his eyes and activated the Spiritual Energy stored within him. A cool sensation generated from his Dantian quickly spread throughout his body. Immediately, a powerful protective barrier formed around him like a transparent balloon, forcing back the white light emitted by the orchid.
"What... what is happening?"
The Orchid Daoist watched in extreme fear as the orchid in the air gradually shrank. He couldn't believe what he was seeing; this guy was a real devil, able to break the power of his Midnight Orchid?
Before the Orchid Daoist could retract his orchid, Little Bell suddenly flew out of the Storage Ring, darted into the air, and clamped onto the orchid with her mouth. In a flash, she disappeared without a trace.
"Ah! Where did my Midnight Orchid go? Wuwuwu..." The Orchid Daoist suddenly fell to the ground, rolling around like a spoiled child, kicking his legs and crying loudly.
Only Xiao Yun understood that after Little Bell got hold of the orchid, she flew back into the Storage Ring. Surely that orchid would benefit her cultivation in some way.
Wuwuwu...
The Orchid Daoist's mournful cries left Xiao Yun stunned.
How could this guy not handle defeat at all? Crying like a woman just because he lost an orchid?
After crying for a while, the Orchid Daoist suddenly began to foam at the mouth and convulsed. Zheng San, who was standing nearby in a daze, thought he was about to die. Suddenly, he leaped up, let out a wild roar, and lunged at Xiao Yun with all four limbs flailing.
Xiao Yun was also staring blankly at the Orchid Daoist. Why was this old guy so pathetic? Was he really that heartbroken over losing an orchid?
Hoo—
Unexpectedly, the Orchid Daoist vanished from the ground in an instant, and a shadow lunged toward him.
A cold smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Yun's mouth as he stood still, waiting for the shadow to come within reach before suddenly throwing a punch.
Bang, crack…
As he withdrew his fist, the sound of Bone shattering echoed.
Awo—
With a horrifying scream, the Orchid Daoist was sent flying a distance of ten feet, crashing to the ground and continuously spitting out blood from his mouth.
This person's skills were simply extraordinary!
This thought flashed through Zheng San's mind. He knew that even if he stepped forward, it would be a futile death. It was a pity that among the three brothers who had set out together, only he remained, like a solitary willow tree.
As the old saying goes, a bachelor does not suffer immediate losses. Zheng San glared fiercely at Xiao Yun, clasped his fists toward him, and said, "You are ruthless. The green mountains remain, and the flowing waters continue. The mountains may not turn, but the waters will. We shall meet again!" With that, he leaped three meters away on one leg and quickly disappeared after a few more jumps.
Xiao Yun did not pursue him. Besides, he was also hired for this task. Although his tone was unfriendly, since he had already conceded defeat, there was no need to go to extremes.
Glancing at the Orchid Daoist lying on the ground with sudden disgust in his heart, he coldly walked step by step toward him…
