Chapter 1430 - 419: You Guessed Wrong—I’m His Big Uncle (6k)

What Shen Yunlan never expected was that Master Qingzhou instructed his disciple to set up the extremely rare Five-Color Restriction.

His pupils suddenly contracted, and an overwhelming storm surged in his heart.

——Five-Color Restriction!

The current Clan Protection Array of the Shen Family was procured years ago at an Imperial City auction, fought over with countless forces.

For this, the Shen Family nearly emptied its thousand-year savings and faced dozens of ambushes on the way back, nearly losing several elders.

But now...

Another Five-Color Restriction appears so effortlessly!

"Wait! Something is wrong——"

Shen Yunlan suddenly awakened, a chill running from his spine to his head.

That little master Situ Jiuyao is only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Even if his talent is high and he’s already gathered five thousand Spirit Seals, how could he possibly activate the Five-Color Restriction alone?!

He abruptly turned, his gaze like a knife piercing towards Zhou Qing.

At that moment, waves similarly surged within Zhou Qing’s heart.

The original plan with his second uncle was merely to find a secluded place to ambush Shen Yunlan.

But the battle between Spirit Severing Realm experts is no child’s play —— without absolute power to crush the opponent, it often ends inconclusively, finally stopping at a draw.

Unless, like in the old days, Shen Hanyi in late-stage Spirit Severing, decisively suppressed the early-stage Spider Emperor Ye Luo with a single finger.

Yet this person in front of him...

Shen Yunlan is not only at Spirit Slash Realm Perfection but is also a cunning old fox who’s survived countless battles.

As the helmsman of one of Nanhuang State’s Eight Great Families, the cards and killing moves he possesses would certainly be alarming.

Looking at our side——

Although Zhou Qing has the addition of Four Flowers Gathering at the Crown, he’s ultimately only mid-stage Spirit Severing, at most capable of battling with late-stage.

His second uncle, though breaking through to Great Perfection, achieved it under the guidance of a Divine Beast buddy on the 3rd Floor of the Wilderness Forbidden Area, yet hasn’t truly locked horns in a life-and-death battle with an equal.

——Experience is a fatal shortcoming!

Therefore, their only chance to win is to first trap Shen Yunlan with the restriction, and then use Inscription-level Divine Techniques and Extreme Dao Weapons to forcibly suppress him!

But the most troublesome problem is——

Spirit Severing Realm experts can tear the void to escape!

Besides, Zhou Qing has comprehended the new Inscription-level Divine Technique [Daluo Demon Sealing Seal] obtained from a Three-Flower Corpse, yet hasn’t been able to cultivate it due to being trapped in the Shen Family.

Even if cultivated, he can only activate the First Seal [Demon Suppression], while the Second Seal [Sealing Heaven] needed to block the void is not achieved quickly.

Yet his second uncle mysteriously told him he has a way to achieve this, and he should just wait and see.

Who would have thought, it’s actually the Five-Color Restriction!

Zhou Qing’s eyes flickered.

Bear in mind, in the Taiqing Sect Grotto Heaven Forbidden Area’s passageway, another Five-Color Restriction altar left by his second uncle is hidden.

Just how many cards does he have hidden?

"Boom——"

As he pondered, Five-Color radiance poured like the Milky Way, instantaneously covering the entire mountain range.

The mountains vibrant with colors, ancient trees gleaming, streams reflecting rainbows, even the air twisted and trembled under the power of the restriction.

More astonishing is, after fully taking form, this grand restriction gradually became transparent, ultimately blending with heaven and earth, as if never existed.

——Truly seamless!

Regardless of how big a battle erupts within the restriction, the outside world remains oblivious.

"No problem with protection, but the ability to disrupt space and prevent Spirit Severing Realm from tearing the void can only last three hours!

The next second, his second uncle’s voice echoed in Zhou Qing’s mind.

Zhou Qing nodded slightly, his gaze growing colder.

In other words, in their first collaboration, they must resolve the fight within three hours.

And at this moment, standing beside Zhou Qing, Shen Yunlan’s sense of unease intensified.

He stared fixedly at Zhou Qing’s side face, and the moment that icy arc appeared at Zhou Qing’s mouth corner——

"Swish!"

Shen Yunlan’s figure retreated, instantly widening the distance by several dozen feet!

"Whoosh——"

A figure wearing a small tiger-headed hat hovered in midair, his aura like an abyss or prison, a glaring presence——

Spirit Slash Realm Perfection!

Shen Yunlan’s pupils suddenly contracted, incredulously gazing at the second uncle, then abruptly turning, his gaze fixed on Zhou Qing.

"Who... exactly are you?!"

Zhou Qing slowly flexed his neck and raised a hand——

"Zing!"

A rust-covered broken sword emerged, its blade entwined with purple-gold thunder, arcs flickering, subtly distorting the surrounding air.

He stood holding the sword, gaze like a knife, pointing straight at Shen Yunlan.

In Shen Yunlan’s eyes, cold light surged, his right hand swiftly formed a seal——

"Zing!"

An azure-blue bone ring flew out from his sleeve, the ring formed by nine unknown demon beast finger bones, each joint carved with eerie blood-colored runes.

The bone ring hovered before him, during its slow rotation, numerous semi-transparent demon souls seeped out, emitting dire wails.

Those demon souls, seemingly once Spirit Severing Demon Emperors, twisted faces, sometimes forming humanoid figures, sometimes dispersing like smoke.

Instantly weaving a densely impenetrable soul net in the void.

With the ring appearing, light within a radius of several dozen feet abruptly dimmed, as if swallowed by some power.

Temperature dropped to freezing point instantly, weeds on the ground withered and turned black at a visible speed, promptly becoming a pool of foul-smelling black water.

Even the air was filled with a decaying stench, nauseating.

"Who... exactly are you?!" Shen Yunlan pointed with a single hand at the ring, eyes full of murderous intent.

Within three feet around him, demon souls roamed, forming an invisible barrier.

Zhou Qing, his broken sword aimed directly at Shen Yunlan, the purple-gold lightning on the blade flickering: "The one who hired [Blood Contract Pavilion] to assassinate Shen Hanyi was you, wasn’t it?"
