Saintess Mingyi wanted to kill Yue Honghai. What seed like the re shadow of a Jade Flower appeared to him as a colossal celestial hamr, crashing down with mountain-like montum.
"Ahhhh!"
Yue Honghai let out a strange cry, mustering all his spirit. Muscles bulged on his iron arms, and the steel whip in his right hand glimred with green light as he prepared to withstand the blow head-on.
"Not good!" several people exclaid in shock.
Yue Honghai's strength was far inferior to that of Saintess Mingyi. Even though he excelled in Body Refinent, the Jade Flower Hamr of Saintess Mingyi was clearly designed to counter opponents like those in the Martial Dao Body Refinent sect.
Such a direct clash would leave Yue Honghai gravely wounded, if not dead.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh——"
Saintess Zhilan quietly advanced, enlarging the Copper Plate in her hand. Vigorous Spell Seals flickered as she aid to trap Saintess Mingyi within it.
"You fell for it!"
Saintess Mingyi smirked, suddenly turned to Saintess Zhilan, flipped her palm, and a Jade Needle appeared in her hand before instantly vanishing, shooting straight at Zhilan's forehead.
"It was ant for that Sword Cultivator, but since you seek death, I'll grant you this!"
The Jade Needle's green light intensified sharply, its tip exuding a piercing radiance that made Zhilan's forehead throb with pain.
Saintess Zhilan's pupils contracted. She tilted her head while gathering all her True Qi to protect herself.
But still...
The Jade Needle, piercing point-first from such close range, made her doubt her capability to block it completely, even with all her strength.
If the Jade Needle pierced through her True Qi and into her Sea of Consciousness, it would take Saintess Mingyi only three breaths to end her life.
"Ding!"
At a critical mont, a light sound rang out.
"Crack!"
Then there was a crisp shattering noise.
"Whoosh!"
Following that, a silver-blue flash swiftly darted by.
"Puff!"
Caught off guard, Saintess Mingyi's Magical Treasure was broken, her complexion turned pale, and she couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.
It was the Jade Needle that had been cut down by the Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword flying from an unknown direction.
"You fell for it!"
Lu Zheng's voice gently echoed as his flying sword twisted in mid-air, turning back to strike at Saintess Mingyi again.
Saintess Mingyi suppressed the churning of her True Qi and blood within her body, retreated in mid-air, swinging the Jade Flower Hamr to fend off the flying sword while reaching out to break through the Spell Seals descending from the Copper Plate above, straining to escape the danger.
Only then did she have ti to look down at the shadow of the Jade Flower in her hand, seeing the Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword quietly settled at the flower's center.
"You have another one!?" Saintess Mingyi exclaid in surprise.
"Indeed, feel free to try capturing it again if you can!"
Lu Zheng teased, maneuvering the Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword, which emitted a faintly glowing aura, and with silver flashes, seed to open wings like a Silver Feather Divine Eagle descending from the sky.
Saintess Mingyi's expression turned grim.
The power of the Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword was unparalleled. Not long ago, she had hamred it with the Jade Flower Hamr to subdue it, only to discover that a significant amount of focus was required to maintain the ban on the flower's core.
Another one?
How could it be so easy?
"Whoosh!"
The flying sword cut through the air, Saintess Mingyi's gaze turned fierce, the Jade Flower Hamr struck down, but the flying sword suddenly darted aside, slicing off a swath of blue light.
Saintess Mingyi, "..."
Saintess Mingyi had the Jade Flower for protection, and without sufficient Thunder Technique preparation, any confrontation relied on mutual exhaustion that was even greater than her own. Therefore, Lu Zheng montarily abandoned the Thunder Technique and concentrated solely on using his flying sword.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword flew back and forth, weaving around her, cutting away large patches of blue light.
Manipulating the Silver Feather Cyan Mist Sword, exploiting the advantage of the flying sword, this was the right strategy.
Of course, Lu Zheng controlled the flying sword with one hand, using the other to form a Seal Technique, conjuring a Taiyi Five Thunder Curse in the sky once more.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
Endless Cloud Qi and Peach Blossom Evil began to perate, growing denser and rging into Saintess Mingyi's protective blue light.
This Forbidden Technique, led by Lu Zheng and Shen Ying, simultaneously trapped Saintess Mingyi and slowly weakened her Protective True Qi.
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
Having narrowly escaped ambush by Saintess Mingyi, Saintess Zhilan dared not take further risks to approach, keeping the Copper Plate hovering above, releasing Spell Seals one after another.
In fact, this posed the greatest challenge to Saintess Mingyi as Saintess Zhilan was highly advanced in Dao Practice. It was a wise choice to conserve resources and with assistance, seek to outlast them.
Fan Boyu provided cover for Saintess Zhilan, using the God-erasing Curse to wear down Saintess Mingyi's Jade Flower blue light, while also watching over Yue Honghai.
"Huff——"
Yue Honghai exhaled deeply; his eyes, alight with energy, stood up once more.
"Going back in?" Fan Boyu asked.
"Going back!" Yue Honghai replied, clashing his steel whip and serrated saber together, producing a crisp "ding".
"Every ti I go, I cause injury to that Demoness, that's a profitable exchange," Yue Honghai said.
"Cough, cough!"
Fan Boyu couldn't help but cough dryly and softly reminded, "Actually, Saintess Mingyi is human, not a Demoness."
Yue Honghai blinked and said, "I just said it like that! Isn't that what humans say when cursing? I learned it from Yu Ling Garden."
"Miss Liu is a White Fox..."
Yue Honghai swallowed nervously, then strode forward, brandishing his steel whip towards Saintess Mingyi's head.
"Woman, take this whip!"
"Boom!"
With a thunderous sound, Yue Honghai was repelled yet again, staggering backward, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
"Damn! Wasn't she injured? Why did she retaliate even harder this ti?"
Fan Boyu, "..."
If it weren't for Saintess Zhilan and your Young Master Lu's presence, Saintess Mingyi might have killed you with her fury!
Yet, despite being a several centuries-old Demon, Yue Honghai's steel whip wasn't easy to handle, especially smashing him back the way he ca.
Therefore, Lu Zheng and Saintess Zhilan seized the opportunity to launch attacks that made Saintess Mingyi's wounds worsen.
Saintess Mingyi's face was ashen.
Once struck by celestial lightning, once with the flying sword cutting the needle, the unexpected injuries left her struggle increasingly powerless in Magical Combat.
If this continues, she feared she'd truly be left here.
However, to escape through Lu Zheng or Shen Ying, the Forbidden Technique's shroud completely controlled her direction, forcing them toward White Cloud Mountain!
What to do?
She could only risk a tactical gamble — either exhaust her Primordial Qi and break through, or suffer further injuries and remain.
This was not the Southern Border; waiting for change couldn't bring reinforcents.
"Big big big big big!"
Saintess Mingyi was not one to hesitate. She waved, throwing the Jade Flower skyward, which floated three feet above, enveloping her form within.
The Jade Flower expanded in mid-air, releasing luminous blue light that shielded her. From the Jade Flower erged a phantom, ballooning out, pushing against the Cloud Qi and Peach Blossom Evil, Spell Seals, and flying sword, infinitely expanding outward.
"She's trying to break through the Forbidden Technique and escape!"
