My Senior Brother is Too Steady Chapter 171 - Ordinary Battle Mode

Chapter 171 Ordinary Battle Mode

Four streams of water shuttled through the chaotic city in the deep sea. They passed by the seahorses’ home, passed through Starfish Avenue, and headed straight for the place where Ao Yi was trapped.
The entire city had already turned into a “pot of seafood porridge”.
The experts from both sides were pulling each other. The strongest dragon-headed elder on Ao Yi’s side was being attacked by more than ten Sea Clan experts…
The merman race kept asking for help, but the city was completely isolated and they had lost contact with the outside world.
However, it did not matter…
The two steady “experts” from the Ren School were already there. They would not let anything happen to Ao Yi.
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was a true expert in the world. He was one of the few subordinates of the Saint. He could even activate the Taiji Painting, the pagoda, and other treasures at any time. Not to mention suppressing the place, he could even suppress the entire merman race.
At that moment, Li Changshou was being pulled by the Great Daoist Master to be a laborer. He had his own plans in mind…
Although he had only adapted to impromptu changes this time, he had already thought of a more comprehensive plan. He could achieve the effect of killing three or four birds with one stone and push for a small step forward in the progress of the dragon race’s entry to heaven.
At that moment, Li Changshou was standing in the courtyard. He closed his eyes and focused, controlling the four paper effigies.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du watched with interest. He wanted to see how Li Changshou would destroy his enemy.
However, Master Xuan Du was delighted as he watched.
The four paper effigies used their Water Escape techniques to approach Ao Yi. They did not alarm anyone from both sides. At that moment, there were thirty to forty guards around Ao Yi. The Golden Immortal realm experts were fighting in the vicinity of the palace, and the Sea Clan guards around Ao Yi were at most at the mid-stage of the Heaven Immortal realm. On the other hand, there were more than ten Heaven Immortals and more than fifty Perfected Immortals surrounding Ao Yi, all of whom were rebels.
Li Changshou discovered that there were a few Heaven Immortals in the rebel army who had strange auras. They were somewhat similar to the Blood Mosquito puppets back then.
Daoist Wen should be hiding in the dark and watching this scene secretly…
How do I let her find out that the Great Daoist Master is here?
He did not know if the Great Daoist Master would be able to find Daoist Wen’s traces and directly kill her in order to be safe.
Li Changshou did not need to spend too much time and effort to help Ao Yi out. An ordinary paper effigy tactic would be enough.
The four paper effigies appeared outside the encirclement. Their sleeves swayed and they released… another batch of sixteen paper effigies… The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was overjoyed. He scolded jokingly, “The paper effigies released more paper effigies. There are so many paper effigies! You are really interesting.”
Li Changshou turned his head and smiled “shyly”. For now, he would treat it as a compliment from the Great Daoist Master for his paper doll technique. The sixteen original paper effigies charged towards the back of the rebels and hugged the Heavenly Immortal realm experts quickly. Before they could react, they self-destructed and released poisonous fog!
In an instant, a turbid mass of fog appeared in the seawater!
The remaining four paper effigies shuttled left and right.
The swords and flutes in their hands were not actually swords and flutes. The tobacco pipes in their hands were not tobacco pipes either. The cleavers in their hands were not cleavers either…
They were all Dharma artifacts that could release poison!
Li Changshou took two years to refine them. The poisonous pills that were worth more than six superior Immortal Treasures were released in the blink of an eye!
What the four paper effigies had to do was to fully control the direction of the poisonous fog and poisonous powder.
After a while, the hundreds of rebels that surrounded Ao Yi and the others collapsed to the ground.
Most of them did not even have the time to turn around to look at the person who had ambushed them. Their essence souls had been infected by the poison.
The paper effigy who looked like an old woman shouted, “Those who protect His Highness Ao Yi, don’t act rashly! If I poison you, I don’t have any antidotes!”
The experts from the Sea Clan who were protecting Ao Yi were silent. They huddled around Ao Yi.
The four paper effigies moved at the same time—that was because Li Changshou wanted to save some effort.
They each released their own Dharma treasures and retrieved the seawater that was mixed with poisonous powder. They could use it again later.
After that, the four paper effigies released eight Soul-Bewitching Pearls and rapidly absorbed the remnant souls in the battlefield. They also scattered the fire seeds of the True Samadhi Flames.
The seawater there had only weakened the power of the True Samadhi Flames slightly. It was still very easy to burn these corpses.
As the flames surged, the four paper effigies each released three paper effigies and transformed into twelve benevolent-looking Daoists.
They each held onto a wooden fish, the Soul-Suppressing Bell, and a wooden clapper. They knocked the items while in the surroundings. They chanted the Salvation Sutra, the Reincarnation Incantation, and the Disaster-Dispelling Incantation.
A group of Sea Clan experts looked at each other. Ao Yi was also stunned…
It was the first time they had seen such a scene. They clearly felt that their knowledge was shallow. They were like fish that were watching the sky in a well. Today, they saw a new world…
“Fellow Daoists, who are you?” “Why are you helping us?”
“They should be humans. They… are very particular! After killing the enemy, they even dealt with the corpse directly. They even recited the incantations and did an expiation ritual!”
“We can’t learn it, we can’t.”
The corpses were quickly devoured by the True Samadhi Flames. The ashes of the corpses were sent flying by the four paper effigies and dissolved in the seawater.
In his next life, they would be good fishes.
Then, the four paper effigies turned around and retreated.
The entire process happened very quickly. The Sea Clan soldiers around Ao Yi were not the only ones who were stunned. Great Daoist Master Xuan Du sighed softly as he watched from the side.
How could the Man-Forming Paper Cutouts of the Dao Sect’s thirty-six mystical abilities be used like this?
Ao Yi hugged the mermaid princess and shouted at the four paper effigies, “Seniors, please hold on. Let me thank you!”
The old woman turned around and smiled.
“We have come under His Majesty’s orders to help His Highness escape. There’s no need to thank me.”
After saying that, she turned around and left without stopping.
The four paper effigies did not go far. They turned into four streams of water and found a residence of the Sea Clan in the chaotic battlefield. They hid in it and waited to be activated again.
A large group of rebels was still surrounding Ao Yi. The Sea Clan soldiers were attacking everywhere, and Ao Yi and the others were also moving…
If the paper effigy had continued to protect Ao Yi, it would have also been surrounded and lost control of the situation.
Continuing to hide and surround the enemy was the only way to kill the enemy effectively.
Li Changshou quickly counted the paper effigy’s losses.
20% of poisonous pills and 20% of its immortal power were depleted. The four Dharma artifacts could not be used for the time being. They were needed for replenishing the poison.
Overall, the results were not bad.
In the courtyard, Li Changshou opened his eyes and bowed to the Great Daoist Master before standing behind him again.
The Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was still reminiscing…
The Great Daoist Master could understand what Li Changshou had instructed the paper effigies to do. It was nothing more than a method to deal with remnant souls.
It’s just…
“Changshou, you’ve done that so smoothly. Do you often fight with others?”
Li Changshou quickly replied, “I have been cultivating in the mountains all year round. I don’t move around often and have never taken the initiative to form a grudge with others. However, the Primordial World is dangerous. If I were to wander around and go to the town to collect herbs, I would be targeted by powerful people. I strongly feel that practice makes perfect. In order to quickly finish off the enemy when I get ambushed and not leave any future troubles, I would often practice several steps of technical fights. I actually skipped a few steps just now because I was in a hurry.”
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du smiled and said, “If you want to talk about that, I’m interested. What are those steps that you’ve skipped?”
“Great Daoist Master, please take a look. I’ve been thinking about something.”
Li Changshou took out a miniature array disc and a few paper effigies that were weeping and playing sorrow tunes.
Great Daoist Master Xuan Du was speechless…
This junior brother is mine!
Then, the Great Daoist Master Xuan Du said warmly, “Then, why did you ask the paper effigy to mention that it was ‘On His Majesty’s orders’? Why didn’t you point out that it was the Jade Emperor?”
“Thank you for asking this question, Great Daoist Master… I felt that if he were to directly mention the Jade Emperor, the dragon race would be on guard. It would be better to use the word ‘Your Majesty’ to leave some room for the dragon race to imagine. These four paper effigies all have human appearances and have the aura of living humans. There are no supreme mighty figures like you here, so it’s very difficult for anyone to recognize that they are paper effigies. Other than the dragon race, there are very few people who use the term ‘Your Majesty’. This will help them make sufficient associations and lower their vigilance against the Jade Emperor.”
“Yes, that’s a good answer.” Master Xuan Du squinted and chuckled. “I’m impressed.”
Li Changshou was rendered speechless. The daily routine of the disciples of Ren School is practicing the basics.
At that moment, the Sea Clan experts protected Ao Yi and rushed towards the array wall at the edge of the city.
However, the merman city was now surrounded by layers of array formations. The universe was isolated. With their power, they could not open the array formation barrier.
Li Changshou understood that the Great Daoist Master was not in a hurry to attack. In fact, if he could survive until the experts of the dragon race arrived, the Great Daoist Master would not even appear.
Most of the sea creatures’ intelligence was lower than that of the living beings on land.
Most of the members of the Sea race… were afraid of difficulties. Smiling was not a solution.
They kept charging forward, but there were less than ten guards around Ao Yi. That made Li Changshou shake his head…
The Sea Clan was useless.
When the second army of rebels surrounded Ao Yi and the others again, Ao Yi protected the little mermaid princess and looked around angrily.
Ao Yi was not coveting the beauty of the little princess.
As the Second Prince of the Dragon Palace, Ao Yi was afraid that something would happen to the mermaid princess and affect the relationship between the mermen race and the dragon race.
Now that there were so many things happening in the Four Seas, the mermen race was an important subordinate and ally of the dragon race. Even if Ao Yi had to get the support of the mermen race to suppress the rebellion, Ao Yi would not hesitate.
Seeing that Ao Yi was in trouble again, Li Changshou’s four paper effigies appeared again.
However, after another performance of the paper effigies’ battle strategy, the small group of rebels turned into ashes…
However, that was not all.
The main target of the rebels was Ao Yi. They had failed to defeat Ao Yi in two consecutive attacks. The person who had secretly deployed troops immediately adjusted his thoughts.
In the palace, the dragon-headed elder was fighting with all his might. From time to time, he would transform into a dragon’s body before going back into the form of a human. Not only was he surrounded, he also held back the few Golden Immortals in the army of rebels.
The dragon-headed elder only needed to stall time until the experts of the dragon race rushed over to support him. They would then be considered to have won the battle.
However, one of the few Golden Immortals in the army of rebels suddenly moved out and turned around to pounce towards Ao Yi.
The dragon-headed elder was instantly enraged. He transformed into a ten-thousand-feet-long azure dragon and destroyed the magnificent palace!
The old dragon immediately wanted to chase after the Golden Immortal from the rebel army, but he was stopped by the other experts of the rebellion army using their mystical abilities!
Ao Yi felt the pressure coming from the Golden Immortal and let out a gentle breath. His eyes were filled with determination. He pushed the mermaid away and flew into the
sky!
He activated the technique and focused!
Ao Yi immediately wanted to fight the Golden Immortal!
Although Li Changshou really wanted to complain about his Second Sect Master being hot-blooded in the courtyard, it was indeed rare for him to stand up and fight against a Golden Immortal realm cultivator.
He is soy sauce… Ahem, a talent.
“Changshou,” the Great Daoist Master said with a smile. “The foundation of the Golden Immortal is unstable. His realm is not strong. It seems like his cultivation level was borrowed. You can try and see if you can handle him.”
That Golden Immortal seemed to be similar to the Qi Refinement cultivators of Jie School who attacked them at the Immortal Du Sect back then…
The Great Daoist Master should be testing my upper limit.
Li Changshou muttered to himself and said seriously, “I’m willing to give it a try, but please look out for me, Great Daoist Master.”
“Alright.” Great Daoist Master Xuan Du nodded with a smile and pointed at Li Changshou.
An immortal glow formed the image of a pagoda on Li Changshou’s back.
A mysterious Dao rune directly protected Li Chang’s essence soul body and quickly hid in his body…
The Great Daoist Master smiled and said, “This is a defensive treasure. I’ll lend you an hour’s worth of the power of the Mysterious Yellow Pagoda. If you have a Connate numinous treasure, the Zenith Heaven Golden Immortals will not be able to harm you.”
Li Changshou had a complicated look in his eyes. He sighed softly in his heart.
Why only an hour!?!
It is a real protective treasure!
Back to the serious matter.
Li Changshou controlled the four paper effigies to lunge at Ao Yi. The old woman instantly stopped Ao Yi. The three paper effigies rushed forward and each took out a miniature array formation the size of a chessboard. They immediately threw it at the front.
In the courtyard, Great Daoist Master Xuan Du walked to the side curiously and tilted his head to look at Li Changshou’s series of actions…
Li Changshou rubbed his face with his hands and changed his face slightly. Then, he took out a thin mask and transformed himself into a middle-aged man.
He used the transformation technique and further adjusted his body and face.
Of course, it would be better if there were a few illusions.
All of that was completed in the blink of an eye. Li Changshou held the fake judging brush in his left hand and hung a Dharma artifact pouch containing two Spirit-Pill-level immortal sense poisonous pills known as the Flame of Heart, and two golden talismans on his waist.
The twelve treasure pouches in his sleeve had already opened up a little…
It would not be easy for him to deal with a fake Golden Immortal like that even though he had something that could ensure his safety. After all, the other party was in that realm and there was a high possibility that Daoist Wen was remotely controlling him.
Sigh, I guess this time… I will have to reveal more than one-fifth of my trump cards during the battle.
