Chapter 98 – Phecda’s Power (II)

All of a sudden, a sword appeared and slashed towards Ye Zhen.

As if she had predicted his actions long ago, after Ye Zhen evaded the first strike, the second sword ray chopped straight towards the position where Ye Zhen appeared.

Ye Zhen thrust his sword into the center of the sword ray, and it ricocheted. The reaction force pushed him a distance away.

Then Shui Yuner’s outline blurred.

She approached at a high speed, going not for Ye Zhen but for Xue Qilin. In all likelihood, she saw through Xue Qilin’s close combat shortcoming, and so wants to dispose of her first.

Xue Qilin release a breath with a flame tongue, raised Empyrean Universe, and quickly turned it into a halberd larger than her body.

Halberd of Moon Slash.

The flame whirlpool behind fired two breaths of fire that turned into two tiny dragons and coiled around the halberd like tornadoes.

“… Thunder Flame Dragon No. 3!”

The halberd slashed down violently and sliced Shui Yuner in two.

“…!”

Before she could get surprised, Xue Qilin found that she felt no resistance just now. At this time, the water-colored figure dissipated like a cloud of mist.

That was an after image Shui Yuner left by moving at high speed.

Where did she go? Xue Qilin quickly glanced around, looking for the girl.

“Behind you!”

Ye Zhen warned loudly.

Flames surged, and Xue Qilin immediately turned around and slashed out. Phecda and Empyrean Universe clashed fiercely and released countless sparks.

“Little Yun, wake up, this power and emotions are not yours!”

Xue Qilin tried to rouse Shui Yuner’s consciousness.

However, her voice didn’t reach the target.

“Will you shut up?”

Shui Yuner’s translucent eyes expressed doubt. She twisted her wrist, deflected Empyrean Universe, and sent a kick towards Xue Qilin.

Ye Zhen rushed over to try intervene with the two. Aware of this, Shui Yuner bent her body in the air and avoided Heavenly Glimmer. At the same time, she slashed out at an incredible angle, forcing Ye Zhen back.

“… Screw you, Phecda!”

Xue Qilin blocked Shui Yuner’s foot with the hilt and pulled open the distance between the two by borrowing the force from the impact. At the same time, she summoned a dragon head and used a fireball to stop the opponent from approaching.

“Little Yun, do you want to leave everything to Phecda? No matter whether it is revenge or power, it must truly be yours to have meaning! Do you remember what you told me? You said you want to have power that belongs to you, to get revenge on your own…”

“Are you done…? Heavenly Spiral Slash!”

Shui Yuner hurriedly rotated in the air, turned into a wheel, and split the fireball apart. After leaving numerous sword afterimages in the air, she attacked the lass. She is like a storm of swords, dispelled all flame arrows attacking her.

Xue Qilin removed the levitation spell, landed on the ground, and drew open the distance once again.

“Little Yun, you said you don’t want to implicate others, yet look around you! Is this the power you seek?”

As she said, the martial arts ground is already a mess. On the tattered floor, blood stains left by some outer temple disciples who didn’t escape in time and were affected can be seen.

No answer.

No, no communication! Xue Qilin is speechless secretly. I can only beat her!

She swiftly performed seals with her hands, and then shouted loudly.

“Thunder Flame Dragon No. 7!”

A flame dragon emerged and roared, leaving burnt marks in the air.

“Thunder Flame Dragon No. 3!”

Boom, boom, boom…

The flame dragon rushed towards Shui Yuner and at the same time shot several fireballs.

Suddenly, a sword ray extended from the “wheel”. The sword ray flickered and sliced the fireballs together with the flame dragon into two.

As flames swirled in the air, Ye Zhen releasing smoke from all over appeared out of thin air.

“Stop!”

Radiating dazzling light, the Heavenly Glimmer lost its shape and turned into a rain of swords stabbing towards Shui Yuner.

“Oh, you were hiding inside the flame dragon…”

Shui Yuner’s surprised voice sounded. At the same time, she stopped rotating.

… just a sword strike.

Phecda passed through gaps in the rain of sword.

Clang…!

The rain of swords merged into one.

The now fully outlined Heavenly Glimmer appeared horizontally before Ye Zhen and blocked in front of Phecda’s tip.

“Heavenly Dragon Lifts Head!”

“…!”

Ye Zhen showed a look of incredulity.

All of a sudden, Phecda’s tip crooked and passed his sword.

First there was an unpleasant sound of friction of metals, and then there was the sound of piercing through a bubble. Phecda successfully broke through Ye Zhen’s true qi shield and stabbed him in the shoulder.

“Uh…!”

He grunted and retreated briskly. If he hadn’t reacted in time, his shoulder would have been skewered.

Not missing this chance, Shui Yuner gave chase.

“Bring it on!”

Filled with fighting spirit, Ye Zhen shouted.

Countless sword rays flashed.

His and Shui Yuner’s swords transformed into countless sword rays simultaneously and intertwined with each other.

Xue Qilin who just landed didn’t stand idly by. She sang an incantation and danced gently, her feet following a certain regular footwork. Along with the movement, the flame whirlpool moved slowly to in front of her, and then contracted and changed shape.

“Arms Ruin No. 3, Skyfire Lance!”

A flame lance formed in front of Xue Qilin, and lightning enveloped it at once. Xue Qilin released Empyrean Universe and grabbed the flame lance with lightning coiling around it. Whether it is the high temperature burning the air, or the crackling lightning, none of it can harm her delicate hands.

“Little Zhen, back away!”

Xue Qilin took a step forward with her left foot and threw the flame lance.

… The flame lance ripped open the atmosphere, leaving a bluish-white glow in the air.

“It has enough power, but it’s a bit slow!”

The flame spear passed Shui Yuner who tilted her body a little. The shot is a miss.

However…

“Turn!”

After flying a distance away, the flame spear suddenly stopped, turned around, and shot towards Shun Yuner again.

“Hmm?”

Shui Yuner made a sound of doubt and surprise, yet she looks like she isn’t going to dodge again.

Phecda isn’t a fool. With her ample battle experience, she must have understood that if she makes an evasive response again, the flame lance will just turn around again.

In this way, she can only face the attack.

This is precisely what Xue Qilin hopes for.

Shui Yuner turned her body and slashed at the tip of the flame lance violently.

“Ah?”

Shui Yuner showed a look of doubt in her eyes.

When Phecda penetrated half of the flame lance, the flame lance suddenly disintegrated, and the lightning wrapped around it transferred to Phecda, locked it like a chain, and restricted its movement.

Now is the time! Xue Qilin opened her eyes briskly.

“Reverse, reverse, return from the fire of Yang Li [1], [2] to pure force, and then turn into world rings!”

As if fragmented parts put together…

The flame tongues swirling in the air turned into white light and drew several patterns in the air. The patterns rotated, got close to one another, linked together, and eventually formed a huge complex formation.

“Clear! Great Bind!”

Five rings formed form gold light seeped out of the void in different positions, located on the limbs and waist of Shui Yuner.

“Bind!”

The rings of light rotated rapidly, contracted instantly, and buckled Shui Yuner’s limbs and torso, restraining her movements.

“What’s this?”

Her expression as usual, Shun Yuner just tried to struggle, when Xue Qilin leaped high above her.

Big sleeves trailing behind flap in the wind, luxuriant black hair and ponytails streak in the air like shooting stars.

After she reached the highest point of the jump, Xue Qilin quickly dropped down, and the Empyrean Universe in her hand changed into a halberd again.

“Phecda! Leave Little Yun!”

A heavy whistling sound shook the eardrums. With the force of a clap of thunder, the halberd struck at Shui Yuner’s right wrist with the blunt side.

If this blow can connect, then Shui Yuner’s wrist will break for sure, and it may even suffer a comminuted fracture. But the current situation doesn’t allow her to mind this. Her top priority is to separate Phecda from Shui Yuner.

However, Xue Qilin made a mistake.

… A sword light appeared abruptly.

When she realized that Shui Yuner’s right hand had been freed, Phecda has already sliced through her domain, and is heading for her neck.

Time appears to have slowed down. Xue Qilin can clearly see the approaching Phecda, and can even distinctly see the dark lines on the sword blade. From fer peripheral, she captured the sweet smile on Shui Yuner’s face.

Is she going to die? Like this? Die at the hands of Shui Yuner? Xue Qilin’s mind is a blank.
