Another World Trip: Journey with My Cat and an Otaku Loli Goddess Chapter 166 - Sic Em

“HAND THEM OVER!”

****

The finger emerged from beyond the clouds and its destructive potential was awe-inspiring!

The finger, the myth, the legend!

The Ultimate Flip-Off!

Now that Long Di was driving the martial technique forward, it really started to draw on the reserves of tribulation lightning stored within his physique, and as he aimed it where he willed, his spiritual force dropped rapidly!

Not only that, the pressure it radiated was a great burden on him as well. He made sure to hold back a great deal of its power so that it didn’t tear him apart.

“Erect the temple’s defences!” roared the Chief Elder.

Shwing!

Several points across the wall of the sect released a blinding light before a glowing shield enveloped the entirety of Nether Immolation War Temple!

As soon as the barrier was established, the Ultimate Flip-Off arrived, and the tip touched the barrier!

Rumble!

A booming sound rang out as the ground for miles around shook under an intense quake!

Krrrsh!

The lightning’s destructive power was like the relentless beatings of a wave-filled sea!

The Chief Elder and the others stared nervously as the barrier shook madly under the Ultimate Flip-Off’s power!

Such a powerful barrier needed time to activate, but this was the Chief Elder’s pro-activeness at play. His pre-emptive signalling to the second elder saved Nether Immolation War Temple from massive damage.

This barrier was being powered under the sect’s reserves of spirit stones. After all, somatic essence had many limitations and one of those was its inability to generate such a barrier.

The disciples within were staring at the thin shield that was the only thing between them and complete destruction. The scene was both harrowing and… exciting!

They were beginning to feel their blood boil at the prospect of fighting such a strong enemy!

Long Di could see the barrier holding on despite the strength of his attack and decided to draw even more tribulation lightning from his body!

“Break for me!”

His shout heralded the surging influx of tribulation lightning energy into The Ultimate Flip-Off, bringing it closer to its completed state!

Pu Ci!

His finger stripped, the skin peeling away under the lightning’s power! He could feel his body swiftly approaching its limit, just like what happened when he was at The Peach Blossom Sage’s Spiritual Intent’s place back then.

His organs trembled and his bones creaked as he drove it further!

The barrier was shaking without end as its resilience was tested again and again!

At this point, his body was only a moment away from shattering. After all, at the end of the day, he was only a Two Star Core Martial Master going against the power of an entire sect!

He knew he couldn’t afford such injuries, not now, as it would spell his doom. There was no Peach Blossom Sage’s Spiritual Intent here to help him now.

Krrrssh…

He brought The Ultimate Flip Off to a close, which caused the giant finger to fade away. It wasn’t long before the lightning crackled off into evanescence.

As a result, the skies cleared, revealing the blue heavens and the warm sun.

However, that warmth didn’t reach the plains or the inhabitants of it, for the coldness of war was brewing without end.

“Ugh…”

An intense feeling of exhaustion overtook him. This was the result the draining of his spiritual force to such low levels had on him.

Vrrrm…

The barrier covering the Nether Immolation War Temple receded, revealing the inside once more.

Shu!

The Chief Elder was the first to rush out the moment the barrier was fully relaxed!

“You fool!” he felt triumphant. He knew that an attack of such calibre would have taken a huge toll on anyone and this moment of weakness was the perfect time to take out Long Di before he could pull out any more tricks!

Long Di was on the ground trying to catch his breath. He lifted his head to see the Chief Elder with his hand outstretched, closing the distance between them.

Long Di stared at him as if he was staring at a fool. He only repeated his request once more.

“Hand them over.”

The Chief Elder sneered. “Die!”

Shu!

Before he could get any closer, a furry shadow flitted past before a searing pain ran through the length of his chest!

“Argh!”

The Shidashi Mao! He forgot the Shidashi Mao!

‘Damn it!’ The Chief Elder wanted to beat himself up! How could he forget about arguably one of the most bloodthirsty and powerful magical beasts to ever curse these lands!?

The Shidashi Mao was staring at him from a distance. It looked like it was holding itself back.

The Chief Elder was looking at it in confusion. He had never seen a Shidashi Mao so still and composed before.

It then looked at Long Di as if asking for his verdict.

Long Di knew what it wanted, so he gave it the go-ahead. “Sic em.”

The Shidashi Mao revealed a malicious grin and the Chief Elder felt his blood run cold as a result.

Vwhoom!

Its bloodlust was finally let loose, and it was going to make sure to make the most of it.

Lord Whiskers Furryback The First locked its eyes on the Chief Elder and the Nether Immolation War Temple before taking the first step.

“Meow!”

Shu!

Lord Whiskers’s figure disappeared owing to its extreme speed and before long it appeared to his right with its jaw wide open, ready to take a chunk out of him!

“Damn it!” His movements were hurried and unrefined due to being caught off guard, which resulted in a piece of his forearm being ripped off!

“Argh!”

His face twisted in pain, and he quickly summoned his cauldrons to have a chance at survival!

D-D-Dum!

All nine cauldrons burst into being with eight red, whilst the last remaining one was orange.

“A supreme-grade cauldron? Not bad.” Long Di commented.

He took a seat in the lotus position, wanting to cultivate his energy to get as close to his peak as possible.

“Y-You’re going to cultivate… right now!?” Commander Da Jun was shocked at Long Di’s brazen nature!

“That’s right, I’m going to need to be as strong as possible to prepare myself. You might want to be on high alert yourself. We only have one Shidashi Mao, after all!”

As he said this, Long Di took out another spirit stone from his storage ring.

“Sigh…”

“I only have like a hundred of these left. Then again, Shen Ling did body-rob those corpses so maybe I can top it up soon.”

While this was happening, three more elders came out to support the Chief Elder, who was in a sorry state at the moment.

It was only then that they were able to partially stabilise the situation.

The spirit stone flashed as Long Di circulated his cultivation technique. The black crystalline cauldrons spun as they drained stone after stone to get him back up to his peak.

He did have three dantians after all.

A small dark cloud appeared overhead, mimicking a tribulation of some kind. The pressure he gave off was immense and someone at Da Jun’s level wasn’t prepared for this, so he retreated far enough away so that he wasn’t affected.

The spiritual essence in his body he directed straight into the physique itself, lest the steel stele take the divine energy he needed to be at his best.

Boom!

The battle was heating up as all three elders suffered from numerous claw wounds. Lord Whiskers Furryback’s speed was clearly at the Martial Grandmaster level and this gave it the edge it needed to fight these experts.

Bang!

One elder punched Lord Whiskers Furryback the First in his side when he was mauling another elder, which sent it flying a short distance.

Its figure dug a trench in the ground before it quickly regained its bearings. It rushed the elder and in the blink of an eye, its fangs were already in his chest!

“Argh!”

His shout of pain drew the attention of the other three elders, who quickly came to his assistance, or this beast was gonna snap him in half!

“Together!” The Chief Elder roared.

They all landed a hit on Lord Whiskers’s body, which finally jolted the beast. The defensive capabilities of its fur were failing under their somatic essence-empowered attacks!

So it released him, and he didn’t waste any time scurrying away with his injuries. The only saving grace for these elders was that their cultivation technique was similar to Huise Chongtu’s, the Enforcement Hall’s elder.

So all the damage they took was actually adding to their power. This was what was causing their attacks to finally do damage when it wasn’t earlier.

They just had to make sure they didn’t suffer any fatal injuries, which the Shidashi Mao was making very hard!

“Incredible!”

Commander Da Jun was watching the battle in amazement at the beast's combat prowess.

He then looked at Nether Immolation War Temple and saw a few figures exiting it steering far and clear from the fight between Lord Whiskers and the elders on its way towards them!

“Oh no.”
