A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 102 - 98: Golden Crow Soaring in the Sky

Guh Nishang’s situation was not good. A narrow scar appeared on her elegant neck, with blood constantly gushing out, only to be burned away by the flames surrounding her.

But the smile on her face grew wilder, and with a twist of her hands, she caught the Flying Sword in front of her chest.

Noticing Guh Nishang’s actions, Zhang Shouchang once again mobilized his spiritual power. This time, the Spirit-Locking Ruler and Fixed Image Bell struck each other, the rapid ringing echoing through the valley, sound waves transforming into rings of light, once again tightly locking Guh Nishang in place.

Guh Nishang laughed loudly, "Do you think you can trap me?"

The illusion of the Three-legged Golden Crow suddenly flapped its wings, soaring into the sky, platinum flames rolling forth, the terrifying heat forcing Zhang Shouchang and Qian Ruyi to retreat.

The wound on Guh Nishang’s neck tore open again, blood spurting out, her face instantly losing all color.

But under this reckless drive, the rings of light around her shattered one after another!

Guh Nishang shouted loudly, grasped the Flying Sword with one hand, and ignited fierce flames with the other, pressing heavily onto the wound on her neck!

With a sizzling sound, the smell of burning instantly spread, the wound was scorched black, tightly contracting, stopping the blood.

In intense pain, Guh Nishang laughed madly. Then, disregarding everything, her hands turned into a crimson-gold color, grasped the Flying Sword from both sides, and bent it with all her strength!

With a creak, the Flying Sword emitted a cry of unbearable agony, Qian Ruyi’s eyes widened in horror, and with a crisp snap, the Flying Sword was brutally snapped in two!

Guh Nishang released her hands, letting the remnants of the Flying Sword fall into the valley, a satisfied smile on her face.

Madwoman! She is a madwoman!

Qian Ruyi’s heart was in turmoil, wondering where the Yunshan Sect found such a madwoman!

At this moment, his spiritual artifacts were completely destroyed. Though he still had a few High-Tier Magical Artifacts, those were no better than toys to a Foundation Establishment Feather Scholar. How could they possibly withstand this lunatic!

His heart was filled with the desire to retreat. Just then, Wan An had barely suppressed his injuries and rose into the sky again, his yellow umbrella’s ribs broken, a crack appeared on its surface. Zhang Shouchang shouted, "Two Elders, don’t engage her in close combat. I’ll restrain her movements; you attack from afar!"

Remembering Guh Nishang’s terrifying escape speed, if they couldn’t seriously injure her first, escaping would be impossible. Qian Ruyi and Wan An had no choice but to grit their teeth and agree.

Zhang Shouchang again stirred his spiritual power, striking the bell with the ruler, sound waves rolling, layers upon layers of light rings continuously shrouding Guh Nishang. The Golden Crow Illusion behind Guh let out a cry, platinum flames roaring up, flapping its wings and tearing the rings to pieces.

But it did delay Guh Nishang’s flight speed after all.

Qian Ruyi formed a spell, spiritual power surging, Dao Patterns trembling lightly, and the moisture in the air froze with a creak. In the blink of an eye, five deep blue Ice Pearls condensed in front of him, his breathing heavy, spiritual power nearly exhausted. This was his prideful Magic Technique; each Ice Pearl could easily freeze a Late-Stage Qi Cultivation Practitioner.

Meanwhile, Wan An put away the yellow umbrella, pointed with a finger, and a bizarre snake-shaped Flying Sword slid out from his sleeve. The sword’s glow was extremely dim, its tip emitting a faint purple glow, evidently filled with poison.

The Ice Pearls shot forth, directly aiming at Guh Nishang’s face. The Snake Sword flickered, nearly vanishing into the night sky, twisting bizarrely as it reached beside Guh Nishang, slipping to her back and stabbing at her freshly cauterized wound.

Guh Nishang laughed loudly, "Come on!"

The Golden Crow Illusion behind her radiated light, suddenly swallowing her within.

The Golden Crow flapped its wings, flames soaring skyward, striking across dominantly. In the night sky, it seemed like a sun was rising!

The five Ice Pearls instantly vaporized; the snake-shaped Flying Sword was heated to red hot and was swept away by a wing of the Golden Crow.

In the next instant, the Golden Crow Illusion dimmed for a moment, and Guh Nishang yelled, "Take my strike as well!"

The piercing bird song rang out instantly, thrice!

The Golden Crow Illusion shrank continuously within a moment, leaving only human size, hazy as if about to disperse. But three streaks of platinum light shot from its chest, each platinum Divine Bird, about ten feet in size, locking onto its target, soaring with wings outspread towards the three members of the Chaosheng Sect!

The still hidden Lu Qian was startled. Wasn’t this the Bing Fire Divine Crow that nearly cost him and Master Xuan Ji their lives in the Five Elements Grand Array set by Li Zhenru?

Guh Nishang, with injuries, had actually released three of them in one breath!

Moreover, the bodies of these Bing Fire Divine Crows were more solid than those from the array, faster, and more powerful. In the blink of an eye, they’d reached the three.

Zhang Shouchang cursed in his heart, initially thinking this woman was only formidable in close combat, planning to engage her with ranged strategies, not expecting she’d launch such an attack with a wave of her hand.

Whether close or ranged, she was immensely violent, her physical defense surprisingly able to take on Flying Swords, and her escape speed left one unable to react!

Was she really only Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment? Where did the Yunshan Sect find such a monster!

In just a moment, the explosive Bing Fire Divine Crow was upon him, a loud explosion sounding, enveloping Zhang Shouchang in a dazzling platinum fireball!

Over here, Wan An couldn’t worry about his treasure, directly throwing out the Treasure Umbrella, clutching the spell with a flash of heartache across his face.

The Treasure Umbrella suddenly opened, spinning rapidly, unexpectedly bursting out with a strong suction, swallowing the Bing Fire Divine Crow. The umbrella surface closed with a boom, platinum flames sprayed out from the umbrella seam, instantly expanding the Treasure Umbrella.
