Rebirth: City Sovereign

Facing the black mass of books, Lee Mutian let out a wild hiss, and both his hands erupted with streams of jade-green spirit energy.    

The branches on his arms, thighs, and torso constantly exploded, forming new arms. In the end, the branches twisted together and actually formed a tree wall.    

Lee Mutian's technique was a long-lost, special Body of Martial Arts. It was called the Thousand Tree Change, which could make the body endlessly multiply, grow, and increase depending on the body's endurance. If it was used normally, it was a very powerful Body of Martial Arts, but if it exceeded the limit that a cultivator could endure, their body would explode and they would die in an instant.    

Normally speaking, cultivators who had learned how to use this Body of Martial Arts could only stretch their body to a height of three or four people at most, but the current Lee Mutian was able to make the extra branches and arms on his body spread out to a height of a hundred meters, fully reaching the same height as the wall in the book. It was entirely because he had opened his Extreme Realm, which was able to greatly enhance his body's Supreme Stage of Martial Arts.    

Boom!    

Lee Mutian let out a blood-curdling scream. This black mass of bookwalls looked harmless, but in reality, only after coming into contact with it did he realise that the pressure it brought to cultivators was not something that a normal technique could compare with.    

Furthermore, the closer he got to the books, the more Lee Mutian could smell the blood stench that continuously came from the black books.    

"Damn, just how many people did this book kill …"    

Lee Mutian clenched his teeth, looked at his comrade, and roared.    

"Hey, think of a way. If this goes on, we'll all be crushed into meat patties!"    

"I'm already doing it! Dammit, I'm clearly an Illusionary! "    

Lv Yong answered, at the same time he waved his hand, and several tens of fiery-red Glyphs immediately covered the walls of the books, burning them.    

"Since it's a book, I will just burn it."    

"The exploding Talisman from God Clan, try it!"    

"Boom boom boom!"    

Numerous talismans instantly exploded on the book, and at the same time, the fiery light enveloped his eyes, the pressure on Lee Mutian's body also gradually disappeared.    

"Done!"    

At the same time, far away from the Vermillion Bird Palace, Zhu Yuanque saw the scene on the screen and revealed a cold smile.    

On the screen, Lee Mutian and Lv Yong were working together to burn the black books to ashes. On the upper right corner of the screen, a number was flashing continuously.    

"Number of traps triggered, 2."    

Of the two traps, one had been attacked by the black spirit energy at the beginning. The other trap was triggered by Lee Mutian later on.    

"Oh, I know I have to burn the book. My IQ has increased."    

"Just that, have you ever thought about if I can break through using just burning, then wouldn't my Great Book Sea Array be useless?"    

"Therefore, congratulations to you all. If you all use the method of burning books to fight against my Great Book Sea Array, what you all will receive in return will be …"    

"The worst."    

Zhu Yuanque said. On the upper right corner of the screen, the numbers beside the set out to trap started, and with a sound, it started to spin faster.    

'Total number of triggering traps, 2673 '    

"F * ck, f * ck, f * ck …" "Damn it, just what is going on …"    

Lee Mutian looked above his head. There, Yin Qi, poisonous gases, flames, lightning, ice, and all sorts of Sealing Magic Arts s.    

"Boom!" "Rumble!"    

The exploding firelight annihilated the space. Lv Yong and Lee Mutian's bodies were completely covered by the firelight and gradually disappeared …    

"I'm sorry, but in my Great Book Sea Array, the more books I destroy, the more terrifying the mechanisms will be. There is no way for me to survive!"    

"This is exactly what I, Zhu Yuanque, am capable of guarding with my Vermillion Bird Palace by myself …"    

"Book of Death!"    

"..."    

On the other side, Ye Kai and the other two suddenly entered Vermillion Bird Palace from the side.    

"It can't be, the library. Did I enter the wrong place?" Hee Tianxin looked at the tall bookshelves and the densely packed books on the shelves, and was startled.    

After saying that, she reached out her hand towards a thick book on the bookshelf.    

"Don't touch it!"    

Fortunately, just as she was about to touch the books, Hee Yan had already stopped her.    

"What, what? Isn't it just a book? " Although Hee Tianxin was not convinced on the surface, she still obediently retracted her arm.    

"We are currently in the enemy's camp, so we obviously can't touch anything within the formation. This is a matter of common sense, right?"    

Hee Yan said as he raised his head to size up the vast library.    

"It doesn't taste right."    

After a moment, he slightly focused his mind and began to recite.    

"What smell?" Hee Tianxin asked.    

"The smell of books. There are so many books, yet there's not even the slightest hint of ink. Don't you think that something's wrong?"    

"On the contrary, there is a smell that shouldn't exist in books." Ye Kai who had been silent for a long time suddenly spoke up.    

"Ye Kai, Idiot He, can't the two of you explain yourself a little more clearly?" Hee Tianxin stomped his feet in anger, but Ye Kai did not care about it. He passed by the two of them and walked forward, reaching for a black book.    

"Both of you, back off."    

"Hey, wait a minute. It's best if you do it now …"    

Before Hee Yan could finish speaking, Ye Kai had already opened the book in his hands.    

"Whoosh!"    

Immediately, a blood hand formed from blood Qi exploded out of the book and pounced towards Ye Kai's torso. Ye Kai's reaction was equally fast, he extended his hand and slapped the blood hand, causing it to turn into a blood mist and scatter.    

"There are spells inside the book?" Seeing that, Hee Tianxin's body could not help but tremble.    

Although the offensive magic technique that was activated from a distance of zero was not very powerful, if the cultivator who opened the book did not react, he could be killed in an instant by the magic technique. Hee Tianxin questioned himself, if he was the one who opened the book earlier, she would probably be dead by now.    

He had to admit that with his experience fighting against Zhu Yuanque, Ye Kai's group of two was indeed more cautious.    

Of course, from the very beginning, these three people would be the focus of Zhu Yuanque's attention.    

"However, if each book corresponds to a spell or mechanism."    

Hee Yan said hesitantly as he turned around to look at the vast sea of books behind him.    

"How many books are there? A hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? "    

"So many of them. How did they get there?"    

"Don't leave my sight."    

Ye Kai gave the command and his feet pushed off the ground. He flew high up into the air, and at the location of the ceiling, he went down from above to check the corners of the space.    

There were no exits from east, south, west and north. All of them were sealed by the wall of books, and the path they took to get here was also sealed off by the wall of books.    

"No way out."    

Seeing Ye Kai on the ground, Hee Yan's reaction was fast, and he immediately understood the current disadvantageous situation.    

"Then, all that's left is the ceiling and the floor under my feet."    

"Boom!"    

Just as Hee Yan finished speaking, he heard a dull vibration, and countless book walls collided together, surrounding the space around the three of them!    

The ground Ye Kai and the other two were stepping on suddenly shattered into countless pieces.    

Hee Yan reacted quickly and immediately pointed out two Floating Formation s, placing them below himself and Hee Tianxin. On the other hand, two streams of spirit energy rose up from under Ye Kai's feet, and he directly stood in the air.    

"Books, books, books!"    

Hee Tianxin sat her butt on the Floating Formation, completely not feeling the slightest sense of joy from being saved, she pointed at the sky above, where, ever since the tiles under everyone's feet had been shattered, bookshelves that were originally erected collapsed one after another. There were countless mechanisms hidden, and all sorts of black books on magic techniques falling from the shelves towards the three of them!    

"Stand behind me!"    

Hee Yan bellowed, and the golden order badge on his waist transformed into a golden shield made out of tortoise shell, spreading out above their heads. It was the Token of Heavenly Sovereign Giant Bear.    

Boom!    

Countless spells and traps collided with the tortoise shell shield. Hee Yan and Hee Tianxin's vision were completely covered by the exploding flames.    

At this time, Ye Kai, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly laughed.    

"So you're at the other end of the mechanism, aren't you? Zhu Yuanque. "    

"Only by breaking these traps can I confront the enemy head on?"    

"Interesting."
