The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder Chapter 143

Chapter 143: 143

Chapter 143 – Iron Armored Oxen

“Quick! Climb the trees!”

With a wave of her big sleeve, Xue Qilin hurriedly turned around and shouted .

Evidently puzzled about what’s going on, the disciples couldn’t react for a moment, and instead looked at each other blankly .

“Why are you s.p.a.cing out there! Didn’t you hear the Young Ancestor? Hurry up to the trees and prepare for battle! Martial demons are coming!”

Hearing Qi Qiqi’s cry,the disciples finally reacted .

“Get out of the way!” “d.a.m.n you, you hit me!” “There are already… ah!”

The disciples entered a state of confusion .

Some knocked down one another frenetically, and luggage scattered on the ground; others leaped up anxiously and tried to jump on trees, but because they didn’t pay attention, they were scratched by the branches; yet others tripped over tree roots and fell on the ground . Some were even knocked down several times by their temple mates .

Only a small number of disciples could maintain their cool and jump onto the trees . They drew their swords, held their breath, and quietly waited for the danger to strike .

Gong Tianqing issued instructions and tried to organize the scattered disciples . However, they fled about like rooted soldier . And even though Gong Tianqing tried her best to scream, but her voice didn’t reach their ears .

This is not surprising .

Experience is also a kind of strength .

Even though they are martial pract.i.tioners, but most of them have little experience . They don’t have enough maturity to act calmly when they are suddenly put into danger .

That is why they need the trial by fire .

Xue Qilin sighed helplessly, and then gave an order to Phecda who is lying on top of her head .

“Little Phecda, fly into the air and ascertain the situation!”

“Got it!”

The black cat, who has already awakened, agreed immediately .

Next Phecda turned into a weird white crow, flapped her wings, shot high into the sky, and hovered .

Getting closer and closer, the heavy sound of hoofs is ringing in the ears .

From this, it can be judged that there are a lot of martial demons, perhaps close to 100 .

The martial demons will be here soon . When the time comes, can the disciples who fell into a state of chaos be able to cope well with the stampede? Obviously not . The worst case scenario is for them to be dispersed by the stampede and even killed .

Like a meteor breaking through the night…

A sword ray flashed .

A large tree was cut into two . Making harsh sounds, the top part of the tree slid down along a diagonal cross section and finally slammed on the ground .

The sudden rumbling awakened the crowd like a clap of thunder at night .

They stopped and looked at Qi Qiqi who has drawn Sky Asunder and cut down a tree .

“Calm down!”

Qi Qiqi’s clear and awe-inspiring voice echoed in the woods, covered the sound of hoofs that is getting louder and louder, and shook everyone’s eardrums .

The disciples finally calmed down a little .

“Don’t worry, there is still time! Pay attention to your surroundings and be mindful not knock down your comrades! Leave the large luggage behind, keep only light and necessary articles!”

The people followed Qi Qiqi’s instructions and acted in an orderly manner, and the situation improved at once .

However, Qi Qiqi is not an Immortal, she cannot calm everyone down .

There is still a small number of panicked disciples who act blindly and even implicate others .

There is no time to appease them and let them calm down . While frowning, Xue Qilin walked to the disciples who are still in a panic and tossed them into the trees one by one without a word .

Amidst the chaotic noise, Xue Qilin caught a faint flutter of wings .

She looked around and found that Phecda is flying towards her . She seems to have completed the intelligence gathering mission .

Phecda landed on Xue Qilin’s shoulder, and some white feathers fell off her gracefully and turned into specks of light that dispersed .

“How is it? What kinds of martial demons did you see?”

With a grave look in her crow eyes, Phecda answered nervously and urgently: “I saw Iron Armored Oxen! There are many Iron Armored Oxen coming from all directions!”

Iron Armored Oxen .

Xue Qilin once heard Qi Qiqi introduce this kind of martial demon .

It is an exceptionally clumsy martial demon draped in hard like metal armor and has sharp horns facing forward on the head . It has a strong charge ability and is very fierce . Ordinary adults cannot withstand its full power charge .

These characteristics make the Iron Armored Oxen akin to tanks . Even Hua Dynasty’s army especially set up an Iron Armored Oxen Battalion that uses domesticated Iron Armored Oxen to charge and break through enemy lines during wartime .

From this, it can be seen that Iron Armored Oxen aren’t to be taken lightly, especially when they charge at you in a group . Even a Heaven Realm master can only evade, or else they will be crushed by this torrent .

“Dammit…”

How on earth can such clumsy and heavy martial demons move about flexibly in this kind of terrain! Xue Qilin sighed . The situation is more dangerous than she had imagined .

With their poor maneuvering ability, Iron Armored Oxen are only good at charging on plains . No one expected them to be able to sprint in the woods and come from all directions .

What’s going on? Isn’t this herd of Iron Armored Oxen afraid of injuring one another? Since they are coming from all directions at the same time, their target is obviously us . But how will they avoid colliding with each other? Xue Qilin is baffled .

… Do they won’t to take us down along with themselves?!

Suddenly this thought sprouted in her mind, and Xue Qilin’s eyes widened .

If it is only a one-way charge in a straight line, then it is easy for martial pract.i.tioners who have a fairly good maneuvering ability to evade them . Thus they have to attack from all sides at the same time to block all escape routes of Merak Temple’s trial by fire group .

No, that’s not important! Xue Qilin shook her head .

What makes her more concerned is whether the these trees can withstand the charge of the Iron Armored Oxen .

If the trees where Merak Temple’s people are staying snap under their charge, then the people on top of them will fall into the stampede of the Iron Armored Oxen and will be submerged .

At this time, a cry from a tree interrupted Xue Qilin’s train of thought .

“Qilin, why are you still s.p.a.cing out there!”

Standing on a thick branch, holding the trunk with a hand, Qi Qiqi shouted nervously .

After coming back to her senses, Xue Qilin looked up and found that she is the only one left on the ground .

“Come here, now!”

Xue Qilin responded with a “mhm”, and then turned to look at Phecda standing on her right shoulder .

“Little Phecda, change into a dragon . ”

“You want me to change into a dragon?”

Phecda doesn’t quite understand what Xue Qilin means with this command .

“I want you to carry me!”

“Can’t you fly yourself?”

Hey, why so many questions?! We’re not out of danger yet… Xue Qilin is impatient .

“I told you to change, so change, okay?! Hurry up, or I’ll pull out your hair!”

“Boo… fine . ”

Phecda flew to the ground some distance away while grumbling “always bullying me” .

Then she shone with dazzling light from all over . The surrounding spiritual qi swirled around her and finally turned into a tornado-like stream of light .

The vortex of light swelled rapidly . Xue Qilin’s clothes flapped and her two ponytails slithered like dragons in the resulting wind .

As everyone wondered whether the expanding vortex would explode, the stream of light suddenly shrank and depicted the shape of a dragon .

With the crisp sound of gla.s.s being smashed, light specks sprinkled on a dragon-shaped body .

“It’s a dragon!” “The Young Ancestor is actually keeping a dragon!” “I didn’t expect there to really be dragons!” “Oh Heavens, who exactly is our Young Ancestor?!”

Voices of astonishment mixed with doubt sounded .

As the specks of light scattered, firm white scales and sharp claws inserted deep into the ground can be see glowing . A slender body covered with hair on the back, a white dragon with an aquamarine mane around the neck was presented in front of everyone . Bathed in the sunlight that sneaks in through the foliage, it’s figure gives off a sense of a hard to imagine fantasy . It exudes the majesty and beautiful radiance a.s.signed to it by many legends .

The white dragon lowered its head in front of Xue Qilin .

Subsequently, the la.s.s leaped up and landed lightly between the pair of dragon horns .

Then a shock wave spread in all directions .

Under everyone’s gazes, the white dragon rose into the air, pa.s.sed through a gap between the trees, and flew high into the sky .
