Chapter 2028: Chapter 2028: Entangled In The Whirlpools

“Does this theurgy allow one to launch an attack by merely speaking?”

Zen asked, astonishment written all over his face.

He was aware of Yan possessing a Purple Power Body.

However, he didn't know much regarding what skills she practiced.

When he asked Yan about this, she simply hummed and avoided giving him any definite reply.

She had been extremely vague with her answers, even when Zen asked her about their mother.

It seemed he couldn't see through his sister anymore.

When Yan launched her attack by speaking, Zen expected some energy fluctuation. However, there was none at all.

For example, when one practiced the Great Dominance Technique, it was possible to activate it just by speaking. However, this could only be done through a special method of mixing the Godly Way and mental attacks. It was still a certain kind of mental attack.

Yan's method was formidable. Her word was 'annihilate' and it had been enough to cause all these Fanged Cicadas to immediately drop dead.

Zen could only look at his sister's back, lost in his thoughts.

“Boom!”

“Bang!”

Nobody else noticed what Yan had just done, except Zen of course.

The entire situation was just too chaotic.

More and more top-rank True Gods fell prey to the Fanged Cicadas and were exploding left and right.

The explosions were also a hazard to the other nearby True Gods. Once injured, they were immediately the next target for the Fanged Cicadas.

However, those who died were the top-rank True Gods of the first-tier clans.

All the rich and powerful clans on the Floating Islands had prepared their disciples extensively for this competition.

Thus, in the face of such a sudden crisis, they naturally had a couple of tricks up their sleeves.

Duke, for one, summoned a group of palm-sized birds from his chest.

These birds flew all around him. Any Fanged Cicada that ventured too close would get swallowed up by the birds.

Meanwhile, the three top-rank True Gods of the Bai Clan were arranged in a triangle, surrounded by sharp rays of light.

This sharp light kept the Fanged Cicadas away.

Although the True Gods of those first-tier clans would've also been prepared, their inheritances were most likely weaker than that of the rich clans on the Floating Islands. 𝑅å𐌽оＢÊȘ

It was unavoidable that, despite trying their very best, some of the top-rank True Gods ended up perishing under the onslaught of the Fanged Cicadas. Their heads were all pierced and their cinnabar fields exploded.

“Boom... Boom!”

The speed at which everyone fell had gotten faster but the explosions were also getting more and more numerous.

“Hold on, guys!”

Reinhard shouted as he waved his sword.

Each slash released dozens of silver light that cut through hundreds of Fanged Cicadas in one fell swoop.

However, more Fanged Cicadas took the place of their fallen brethren.

“Puff!”

Reinhard heard a muffled sound and couldn't help but whip his head towards the direction he heard it from.

“Lorenzo!”

Lorenzo Mo of the Sword Clan couldn't answer to his call. He simply trembled as a small, bloody hole appeared in the middle of his forehead.

Without wasting any time, Reinhard immediately slashed towards Lorenzo's direction.

Before he could explode, a wisp of silver light from Reinhard's sword cut his head off from his body.

The Sword Clan had finally lost its first disciple.

“How could this be?”

Reinhard's heart sank. Lorenzo Mo was not weak yet he perished in such a crisis. He and Reinhard were not from the same branch but shared a good relationship with each other.

His death greatly upset Reinhard.

The beginning of the debate over the Godly Ways was usually smooth. This great crisis truly caught everyone by surprise. Were they to die here so early into the competition?

“Swish, swish, swish...”

Try as they might, the number of Fanged Cicadas only seemed to increase as they ventured farther down.

The swarm was like a storm cloud that quickly shot towards the True Gods.

Reinhard's sword might be fast but it would be impossible for him to kill all these Fanged Cicadas. He wasn't entirely impervious to these creatures.

He could only despair, unable to see any hope in this situation.

It was then that Yan appeared.

The sight of her and her brother alive comforted Reinhard. “They're alright.”

He initially thought that these Fanged Cicadas was a test for these two. He didn't expect them to actually be capable in handling themselves so smartly in such a crisis.

“Hide behind me! Stop!” Reinhard howled.

However, to his surprise, Yan simply ignored him. She moved lithely in the air, her soft hair fluttering in the wind as she flew.

Yan put her long fingers to her mouth and uttered a single word.

“Entangle.”

This time, Zen still didn't make a move.

He allowed his sister to go on ahead but also kept an eye out to his surroundings. Once a Fanged Cicada came near, he would act immediately.

As he defended himself, he also observed Yan secretly.

“She utters a word but the voice has no emotion in it. It's as if she's not the one speaking...” he murmured.

The moment Yan spoke, tiny whirlpools appeared in the air.

There was one whirlpool...

There were one hundred whirlpools...

Over one thousand...

Tens of thousands of whirlpools...

These whirlpools were only the size of a fist but emitted a very strong gravitational force that sucked the Fanged Cicadas in.

Yan merely floated there as the whirlpools continued to appear around everyone.

The previously innumerable Fanged Cicadas started to dwindle as they were sucked in.

The sight of these miraculous whirlpools caught the top-rank True Gods in surprise. They absolutely had no idea where these came from!

“It's her!”

“It's the woman below!”

They all exclaimed, pointing at Yan.

There was no evidence of energy fluctuation around her, but they were able to confirm that it was her that created these whirlpools.

“This woman... Wow, she's so powerful. She's already saved me five times!”

Enoch announced. He had been quite frightened before but was now very excited at Yan's appearance.

“You...”

Reinhard looked at Yan with a complicated expression on his face.

He didn't believe her theurgy was powerful but it was extremely unbelievable.

It was only then that he finally understood. The Sword Clan must have thought it through before assigning the task of inheritance to Zen and Yan. Marsh wasn't a fool after all.

The strength of these two was absolutely beyond his imagination.

As they descended, more and more whirlpools appeared. They did not kill the Fanged Cicadas but still rendered the creatures immobile.

This lasted for five minutes more.

After this time, they finally saw the rotten worm's tail, which meant that they finally got rid of all those damned Fanged Cicadas.
