Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling

It was already a life-or-death situation, the previously incapacitated individuals suddenly flipped and stood up.

Gu Yuan: …

Xuan Chu: …

Now, they understood why their elders and teachers advised them to always remain vigilant and use deceptive tactics against opponents who haven't breathed their last.

Turns out, they still had a trick up their sleeves during those fierce moments earlier!

These are our 'own people'; if they were enemies, we would be completely fooled.

Obviously, this is not the time for accountability; they must fully oppose the black halo, for who knows what fate awaits if they get sucked in.

Xuan Kong knew already that those old folks weren't using their full strength, and he himself held back some power.

But the situation wasn't looking so good now. He glanced at those old men sent by Xie Xuzhi.

"Gentlemen, now's not the time to hold back!"

Even though it was dangerous before, it wasn't the moment to fight with their lives yet.

The few exchanged glances, simultaneously summoning their Lifebound Magical Artifacts; now, they were truly fighting without reservation.

Xuan Kong turned to Xuan Chu and Gu Yuan: "We old geezers will hold the fort here; you young ones, evacuate immediately!"

The other elders also subconsciously approved of this decision, casting disdainful glances at the Thunderbolt Team, who they had kept protected at the very back.

"Take these useless ones along as well!"

These old geezers, though cunning in regular times, are naturally leaving survival chances for the young when facing life and death.

This scene isn't uncommon among Xuanmen people.

Gu Yuan felt somewhat difficult but turned to the Little Paperman: "Take them and let's go!"

The Little Paperman was most familiar with Gu Yuan here; once he spoke, they immediately sprang into action.

The Little Paperman, who could lift a car with one hand, easily picked up a person now.

The black halo still jittered irregularly, obviously not stabilized. If they were to escape, this was the best chance.

"Master, I will stay and fight by your side against this…"

Before Xuan Chu even finished speaking, Xuan Kong kicked him far away.

Possibly facing life and death, Xuan Kong tore off his previously composed high-minded facade and cursed harshly.

"Nagging, learned from who knows where, hurry up and go!"

Xuan Chu looked at his suddenly 'crude' master, completely in shock. Wasn't his master with celestial elegance and morality, how did he become like this?

The Little Papermen's escape expertise was impeccable; they lifted the kicked Xuan Chu and flew away.

"Hey, wait for me…"

Gu Yuan: …

Had he known earlier, he'd have let the Little Papermen take him flying too. Now, he was the only one running on the ground, frustrating!!!

Watching the silhouette of his little disciple disappear.

At this moment, Xuan Kong didn't care anymore, shouting with rage: "To leave a good impression for the young disciples.

I've cultivated myself for dozens of years, barely nurturing a good temper; you beast, forcing me to break my vow!"

With that, Xuan Kong shrugged off the thick outer robe on him, revealing a vestment robe painted entirely in blood talismans.

The other elders' tempers flared up too; they've never been so embarrassed before.

Not only were they beaten and spat blood, but also worried about the young ones, thus letting them leave. What an insult to them!

Now, with hands unleashed, no more restraints.

"Indeed, think we've grown old, can't move anymore, back in the day, I'd punch evil cultivators of all paths, kick ten thousand evil demons!"

"Do it!"

...

The few elders wiped the blood from their mouth corners, no longer holding back, unleashing their most formidable battle force entirely.

Xuan Kong simultaneously flung off the vestment robe he wore.

The originally near-solid black halo, under their joint attack, began vigorously shaking at the edges.

It looked as though it was about to burst like a bubble any moment.

However, before everyone could rejoice, that black halo, after a few shakes, suddenly swelled considerably, transforming into a gigantic black void.

Just a glance brought about a sense of staring into an infinite abyss.

One of the elders suddenly started bleeding from seven apertures, his Lifebound Magical Artifact in hand also cracked at this moment.

"Not good, the black halo is running wild, it's drawing power from our bodies!"

Xuan Kong felt awful, never dreaming that being from Heavenly Dao Village would encounter such a troublesome thing.

"Hold on, I'll figure something out!"

"You better hurry!"

Xuan Kong directly sat down, starting to operate the Prohibition belonging to the Heavenly Dao within him, soon his whole face paled like anything.

The black halo grew increasingly unstable, its surrounding edges losing their previous circular shape, instead, expanding outward endlessly.

With its expansion, the suction grew stronger too, now not limited to just small ground stones or broken branches.

The nearby snow and uprooted trees were all rushing over.

They, formed of flesh and blood, if slammed by those burly trees, won't stand a chance.

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Xuan Kong was about to be hit by a section of splintered wood.

"Watch out!"

Then, an intense light emitted from Xuan Kong entirely, the wood hadn't touched him before being turned into dust by this light's touch.

Witnessing this scene, the others were somewhat dumbstruck; they've never seen such a method before.

And the stones, trees, and even snow flying in mid-air sucked in by the black halo also paused in suspension momentarily due to this light's appearance.

Once again, all these things collectively fell back onto the ground.

The light enveloped Xuan Kong entirely, he looked almost sanctified.

This light starkly contrasted against the black halo causing them much misery, streaming straight towards it.

Confronting this light, the black halo, which couldn't be penetrated by any means, soon turned into a sieve.

The unstable, rapidly expanding black halo couldn't maintain its original shape, obviously about to crumble.

"Is this the method of Heavenly Dao Village?"

Yet the outcome was still somewhat regrettable, the black halo seemingly realized encountering its nemesis, swayed and shrank down.
