Chapter 2769: Immortal Lariat
“Ancestral Monarch, I’m aware, but this is my responsibility and duty . I have been fortunate enough to receive the love of the ancestors and the support of my peers . I should be the one to face this problem head-on . ” The saintess stood behind him and spoke with determination .
She paused for a moment before continuing: “I can’t shame our name even if it means dying . I rather die here than to live a borrowed life . That’s the role of a saintess, always maintaining the sect’s prestige and honor . ”
Many nodded in agreement and respected her words .
Regardless of her actual characters, this aspect of her was worthy of admiration . She didn’t run from trouble and chose to face the enemy in order to fulfill her duty .
“Very well . ” The monarch gently sighed and also put on a solemn expression: “Child, you’re the pride of our sect, a role model for the rest . You have lived up to your status as our saintess . ”
The monarch retreated and began to prepare for his incoming fight .
The saintess stood before Li Qiye and said: “I will take your slash even if it means death . ”
“A bit interesting . ” Li Qiye looked at her and said: “I know you want to buy time for your ancestor but it doesn’t matter . He’ll die either way . ”
Li Qiye spoke as if both the saintess and her ancestor were already dead .
“However, I do enjoy your courage . ” Li Qiye continued: “I will give you a chance to attack first while I just sit here . If you can wound me, then I shall spare you . ”
The crowd couldn’t believe it . This type of challenge was a bit too careless . Even the strongest wouldn’t dare to claim to be indestructible . After all, the saintess had an ancestral weapon on her . The probability of taking one unharmed was exceedingly low .
“Are you certain?” She stared intensely at him .
“Rest assured, I’m a man of my words . Being able to wound me will show your abilities . Don’t waste this chance of being the only one able to leave this place alive . ” Li Qiye chuckled .
“I see . ” She took a deep breath and focused up with her eyes wide open . She resumed her confident and imperious temperament - still an untouchable saintess and a future queen .
“Start . ” Li Qiye smiled and closed his eyes again .
He really was just sitting there, giving the saintess a free attack .
“Excuse me then . ” The saintess cupped her fist towards him, putting all personal vendettas aside . Facing a powerful monster like Li Qiye was worthy of her full attention and respect .
However, her opponent seemed to be sleeping in his wheelchair right now .
“Buzz . ” She summoned a long rope as her weapon of choice .
It seemed to be the tendon taken from a dragon combined with various metals . It exuded a bright metallic glow along with a draconic aura .
It was as if a true dragon with golden scales was coiling around her arm . The weapon possessed a free and unrestrained presence .
“Immortal Lariat . ” An Eternal said: “It’s left behind by a progenitor, one of the strongest treasures in Central . I can’t believe they gave it to her . ”
“An ancestral treasure…” A different ancestor praised the rope in her hand: “So the rumor is true about her having one . ”
“According to the legends, this progenitor made it from dragon tendons and metals . It is too tough to sever . No one can escape once tied up . ” An expert aware of its effects was shaken .
“Not only that, but he also created a perfect technique to go along with it named Immortal Containment . When used with the rope, no one will be able to escape . ” One Eternal said with a serious expression .
“Yes, it is heaven-defying . The victim will lose all strength, even someone with great cultivation . They won’t be able to perform any technique and become completely helpless . ” Another ancestor became afraid .
Immortal Lariat was left behind by Everlasting Forefather - a perfect treasure for subduing an opponent .
“Buzz . ” After the saintess revealed her weapon, the monarch behind her also took out a tripod . It landed on the ground and started to pulsate brightly with progenitorial laws .
They drilled into the ground, allowing the treasure to connect with the dao land of the system in order to borrow a majestic power .
The holy radiance stemming from it made death seem insignificant - salvation from the mortal coil . Any combatant basked in this light would be able to go to a heavenly realm after death .
“Holy Tripod . Central Sacred Ground brought two ancestral treasures here . ” An ancestor took a deep breath and said .
“They have so many resources . ” The majority of the crowd became envious . Few sects in the system were able to muster up two ancestral treasures .
No wonder why they were so imperious before . No one else would have been able to leave this palace alive against two treasures . Unfortunately, their enemy was a monster like Li Qiye .
“She wants to buy time for the monarch . ” Everyone understood her intention right away . She wanted to throw her life away so that the monarch could have time to prepare a full-force attack .
“I’m starting . ” The saintess said solemnly .
“I’ve been waiting . ” Li Qiye maintained the same posture .
The saintess started glowing - a sign of her gathering vitality and true energy .
“Boom!” She didn’t waste any time as she created the grand dao and various laws .
The rope in her hand turned into a true dragon lunging straight at Li Qiye .
In this split second during the dragon’s descend, its dao trajectory became extremely unpredictable and profound . It coiled above its victim before trapping them in a flawless and omnipresent manner .
Movement techniques or retaliatory arts were useless . The dragon would always find and coil around its target .
“That’s Immortal Containment for you . ” An ancestor was amazed at her technique .
Even though the rope wasn’t aimed at them, some of the spectators felt their soul being lassoed and taken away . Their grand dao was bound so they couldn’t move at all, losing all strength .
“So frightening . ” Watching alone was scary enough, just imagine being the victim of this rope . They would become completely helpless, a fish on the chopping board .
Amusingly enough, she wasted her time performing this flawless art because Li Qiye didn’t move at all . He let the rope coil around him without resisting .
The rope tightened; he shouldn’t be able to move at all .
The saintess heaved a sigh of relief while thinking that she worried too much about her technique not being able to capture him if he were to dodge .
However, Li Qiye simply didn’t try to evade so she didn’t need to use Immortal Containment at all . Just throwing the rope on him would have been enough .
