A Sect from a Spirit Vein

Chapter 151 - 122: Seriously Injured (2)

A few more Defensive Talismans were activated by him, with the Earth Wall and Wood Net, and Wind Vortex Water Escape within the Talismans all integrating into the jade ring, causing the spherical water waves surrounding him to become even more substantial.

As the Flying Sword approached, Guh Niqiang didn’t dodge. She waved her hand heavily, and the Golden Crow Illusion behind her flapped its wings, sending dazzling white flames soaring into the sky, forcefully swatting the Flying Sword away.

She looked at the thickened layer of water wave defense before her, her eyes gleaming. The Golden Crow Illusion suddenly dimmed as the white flames spiraled and condensed, being drawn and gathered into her right palm.

"Take this strike!"

As soon as she spoke, a palm had already struck heavily into the water waves.

The white flames swirled like a storm, and in an instant, the Water Shield shattered explosively, water waves pierced through the air, and a slender palm had pierced into the shield.

In Feng Jun’s horrified gaze, a flash of white light appeared in that palm, and a three-inch-tall Bing Fire Divine Crow suddenly pounced towards his face!

Guh Niqiang flipped over, retreating backward like a flash of lightning.

Boom!

Rolling white flames exploded within the water wave barrier, shattering the entire circular Water Shield. A mangled, smoke-laden body fell from mid-air.

Guh Niqiang spun her body and arrived again in a flash, reaching out to smack Feng Jun’s head. With a cracking sound, the skull shattered, and flames erupted from the facial features.

The second leader of the Shahe Gang, Feng Jun, who was at Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment, thus perished.

Guh Niqiang’s gaze turned, and among the Qi Cultivation Elite Team, the remaining few Flying Spiritual Artifacts had long since fled.

Within the Grand Array, the Xun Wind and Li Fire Dual Talisman reappeared, the overlapping wind and fire engulfing the entire mountain, forcing the retreat of the Heavenly Torrent Spiritual Mist.

Four breaths away.

Even though Lu Qian continuously urged the Array Map, the Golden Waterfall Needles rained in torrents towards the two, they were deftly caught by Huangfu Zhuqing waving the Bamboo Sea Cloud-Piercing Fan.

This level of attack posed little threat to Foundation Establishment Feather Scholars.

Three breaths.

The blaze kept expanding, and Huangfu Zhuqing also retrieved the damaged short sword, manifesting Flying Swords that shot randomly, further compressing Lu Qian’s maneuvering space. Lu Qian had to endure intense headaches and nausea, continuously changing his position.

Two breaths.

Lu Qian leaped onto a large boulder, dodging the encroaching flames.

Just a little more time, just a little more...

Suddenly there was a cracking sound, and all five Spirit Crystals on the Array Map shattered, the Grand Array could no longer be maintained, and the remaining Spiritual Mist vanished instantly.

One breath.

Lu Qian’s figure was completely exposed, and Huangfu Zhuqing roared, "Little brat, meet your end!"

Thirty-six Flying Swords flashed rapidly, Xun Wind and Li Fire intertwining, transforming into a massive Fire Tornado, pouncing ferociously towards Lu Qian!

But Lu Qian smiled.

Thirty breaths, have passed.

"Guh Niqiang!"

The unparalleled figure suddenly appeared before Lu Qian, the Golden Crow Illusion spreading its wings, with raging white flames like waves. In an instant, the Flying Swords shattered, the tornado dissipated, and Fairy Nishang dashed out from the smoke and dust, unleashing hundreds of Flame Feathers to contain Zhuang Qing, then launched a lightning-fast punch directly at Huangfu Zhuqing!

Huangfu Zhuqing exclaimed, eyes filled with fear, retreating rapidly. Previously ignorant and fearless, he had received one of Guh Niqiang’s hand blades, only to realize that Guh Niqiang’s every move was unleashed with full power, each punch and palm possessing formidable Might.

Now injured even more, how could he dare take another punch? While spreading the Bamboo Sea Cloud-Piercing Fan, he shouted, "Fellow Daoist Zhuang, quickly assist me!"

This time, Guh Niqiang underestimated Zhuang Qing. The Grand Elder of the Spirit Talisman Sect did not retreat as before, but instead, he mobilized Spiritual Power and Dao Patterns, drawing Talismans that managed to freeze the hundreds of Feathers for a moment. Then, without bothering with Huangfu Zhuqing, he swiftly drew a gray-white Talisman, leaping straight at Lu Qian.

As long as Lu Qian is killed, it would be a success!

Annihilation Talisman!

The gray-white talisman was in front of him in the blink of an eye, and Lu Qian smelled the scent of death.

Fairy Nishang shouted angrily, and the somewhat dim Golden Crow Illusion immediately merged into her body. The platinum flames once again entwined around her. She spun around, slammed out her palms, and a three-foot-long Bing Fire Divine Crow shot out from each palm, one directly at Huangfu Zhuqing, the other at the Annihilation Talisman!

The Bing Fire Divine Crow charged into the Bamboo Sea that Huangfu Zhuqing hastily conjured, burning the bamboo shadows to ashes before hitting Huangfu Zhuqing hard, exploding into a platinum fireball.

Huangfu Zhuqing screamed miserably, his body crashing heavily into the forest, shattering a slew of trees and igniting a raging wildfire.

But Fairy Nishang didn’t even look, her Escape Light flashed as she dove at Lu Qian: "Lu Qian, you must not die!"

I don’t want to die either! Lu Qian shouted in his heart, pouring all his Spiritual Power into the Orange Splendor Lamp at his waist, the Lofty Mountain Shield in his arms held before him, even shooting out the spare High-Tier Magical Artifact Flying Sword.

The Annihilation Talisman flickered, piercing through the layers of light from the Orange Splendor Lamp and the solid shield body of the Lofty Mountain Shield as if they were made of paper, snapping the sword into two sections upon contact with the talisman.

The talisman was upon him! Lu Qian only had time to cross his arms in front of him.

At that life-and-death moment, the Bing Fire Divine Crow finally arrived, swallowing the Annihilation Talisman whole!

In an instant, half of the Bing Fire Divine Crow shattered, with starry bits of platinum Bing Fire splashing onto Lu Qian’s arms!

Lu Qian screamed in pain, gritting his teeth as he looked; his arms bore several horrifying charred holes, and wisps of Bing Fire continued to burn!

Fortunately, Fairy Nishang had flown over; she waved her hand, instantly extinguishing the Bing Fire on Lu Qian’s arms, and the half-remaining Bing Fire Divine Crow turned to charge at Zhuang Qing.

Fairy Nishang was exceedingly furious, her expression ferocious, about to charge at Zhuang Qing.

Lu Qian shouted, "Stop! We must leave quickly!"

At that moment, his arms had lost all feeling, even pain was absent, giving him the energy to assess Fairy Nishang’s condition. Fairy Nishang was in poor shape, breathing heavily, her Spiritual Power severely drained, unable to sustain the Golden Crow Illusion, reverting back to the Flaming Flesh and Bones state.

Her palms bore striking, flesh-torn wounds from which blood dripped, only to evaporate away with the flames.

The holes in Lu Qian’s arms couldn’t be lifted anymore; Fairy Nishang was severely injured, yet she continued to fight her way through, prompting Lu Qian to once more marvel at the Mad Fairy’s abnormality.

But abnormality aside, she wasn’t truly an Immortal. After exchanging blows with Zhuang Qing several times, Lu Qian keenly felt that this Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment cultivator was not simple, and it wouldn’t be easy for Fairy Nishang to defeat Zhuang Qing.

Fairy Nishang shook her head: "I must kill him!"

Lu Qian’s face changed greatly; he saw two Escape Lights flashing on the horizon, shooting straight towards their location.

Han Wen and Yinn Hongbo have arrived!

"Quickly leave!" Lu Qian struggled to rise, staring into Fairy Nishang’s fierce Golden and Red Pupils, "Fairy Nishang, neither of us can die here!"

Fairy Nishang’s ferocious look suddenly vanished. She looked at Lu Qian’s charred arms without speaking a word, suddenly reaching out, grabbing Lu Qian around the waist, and with a flash of Escape Light, they shot into the sky.

At this moment, Zhuang Qing had just exerted some effort to fend off the Bing Fire Divine Crow. He looked up at Fairy Nishang’s rising Escape Light, his heart stirred.

His Spiritual Power was nearly exhausted too, but he still had an ace up his sleeve.

It was a Blood-Colored Treasure Talisman suspended above his Dantian, nourished above the Spirit Bud for over eighty years.

If he used this Blood Talisman, he had a ninety percent certainty of intercepting Fairy Nishang and Lu Qian!

But... Zhuang Qing’s gaze flickered slightly, and ultimately, he did not take action.

Fairy Nishang was seriously injured, heavily depleted of Spiritual Power, and carrying Lu Qian, greatly reducing her Escape Speed, as Han Wen and Yinn Hongbo rapidly pursued from the horizon. She furrowed her brow, took out an Elixir from her bosom.

Before Lu Qian could inquire, she swallowed the Elixir in one gulp, and in an instant, her Spiritual Power surged, the Immortal Robe on her body shone with bright gold and red light, her Escape Speed rose sharply, streaking a trail of fire as they flew off into the heavens.

Han Wen and Yinn Hongbo were extremely enraged, pursued vigorously, but were gradually left behind, eventually giving up reluctantly after a period of furious cursing.

After another stick of incense worth of time, they were less than a hundred miles from Bichao Mountain. Lu Qian had just breathed a sigh of relief when he felt Fairy Nishang’s body go limp, and they plummeted from the sky!
