Chapter 1094 - 597: Mysterious Dragon Mist (2)
Although she was calculating well, there were already a pair of eyes closely watching them. This person was Ning Xiaoxian. Even though the surroundings were a milky white, her eyes had been pre-treated with an ointment, and Yu Yingnan and Senior Sister Zhen’s shoes had been sprinkled with powder, making them faintly glow red in her vision. This tracking method couldn’t even be blocked by the thick fog of the Mysterious Dragon Mist; to her, the two stood out like lighthouses in the fog.
The thick fog enveloped all around, which was both an opportunity for the Jiuxiao Sect and for her.
Everything was white and hazy; many people rushed to where the Jiuxiao Sect had just stood, but found nothing, and then started brawling with each other. Fairy Han Qiong, anticipating the enemy’s move, had already relocated the disciples to the wall of the hall as the mist rose.
Once she steadied her footing, she listened carefully; she had just given a low shout to Yu Yingnan to "put away the Nanming Lihuo Sword" when a sudden alarm rose in her heart. Greatly surprised, she forcibly turned her head only to see a dim dagger silently stabbing towards her eye with lightning speed, feeling a chill from the cold glint invading her eyelid.
The opponent moved as fast as a ghost, leaving her no time to react. Fortunately, the protective magic tool she carried with her activated. A green light flashed around her, blocking the hit, while an image of a turtle-like giant beast with a hooked beak and huge jaws appeared above her! This was a magic artifact made from the treasure armor on the back of an exotic Black Turtle from the East Sea, with extremely strong protection.
The enemy sneaking in was none other than Ning Xiaoxian. She had silently followed the Jiuxiao Sect, taking advantage of Fairy Han Qiong’s unsteady stance to attack immediately.
Seeing the green light flash around Fairy Han Qiong, Ning Xiaoxian frowned slightly. She was very familiar with this light; it was the same kind of protective magic tool made from Black Turtle Shells that Qing Ji used to escape on the Great Snow Mountain, incredibly strong, and she would need all her strength to break it. Alas, Tusk was just a pair of lightweight daggers; she had jumped down too hastily and forgot to take other acquired items, otherwise, the Dragon Piercing Halberd would have been the nemesis of such magic tools!
At this time, a voice from Yu Yingnan, tinged with a sob, came over: "Master, I... the storage space is full, I can’t fit it in!"
Fairy Han Qiong, who was poised and ready, stumbled at her feet, giving Ning Xiaoxian another opportunity for a fierce attack, causing the light on the turtle shell to flicker several times, clearly about to give out. She then remembered her little disciple was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and the sect had issued her storage space of about only one cubic meter. The young girl was at a playful, fun-loving age, so most likely the space was filled with snacks and clothes, likely not able to fit the three-foot-long treasure sword!
She had no choice but to darken her face and shout angrily: "Empty the storage ring, put the Divine Sword in, quickly!" The figure attacking her had a graceful figure, presumably a woman. But shouldn’t a woman using daggers favor agility? The Vortex Armor was precisely the best tool to counter such attacks. But how could she possess such terrifying Giant Strength? Only after two attacks, the defensive Vortex Armor had already announced its breach!
"Oh!" Yu Yingnan responded with grievance, and started throwing things out of the storage ring. Putting things into a storage space was easy, but extracting required doing it by category, and she really had packed it with all sorts of junk; Fairy Han Qiong could only hear a clattering mess on the ground, almost spitting out blood in anger. But the Vortex Armor’s protection had been breached, and she really couldn’t spare any attention elsewhere.
Just then, another whip lashed out from the white fog, whipping forward with significant momentum. Fairy Han Qiong, with her keen eyesight, saw at a glance that the whip carried insidious barbs, likely to strip skin with flesh if it struck, not to mention the blue gleam indicating deadly poison.
There was more than one enemy! She called out silently in distress.
Jiu Mo’s attack arrived, taking Ning Xiaoxian’s place, giving her the opportunity to turn around and seize Yu Yingnan.
Indeed, Ning Xiaoxian had planned it all before attacking. When the Nanming Lihuo Sword was still a masterless Divine Artifact, it was indeed difficult for her to subdue and take away. But now it had chosen a master, and the situation had done a 180-degree turn. She couldn’t deal with the sword, but she could handle its master!
How fast was her speed? In the blink of an eye, she was beside Yu Yingnan, reaching out to capture. To her, this young woman was too fragile, almost defenseless; just a hand chop would render her unconscious, allowing her to take both the person and the sword into the God Demon Prison!
Yu Yingnan had just cleared out half of the storage ring when she saw a blurry shadow closing in, ghostly and lightning-fast, sending shivers down her spine with fear and causing a scream to get stuck in her throat, unable to come out! Fortunately, another woman guarding her acted quickly, standing in front of Ning Xiaoxian and releasing a magic tool.
This woman was the junior sister of Fairy Han Qiong, also Yu Yingnan’s master. She had deep cultivation, and importantly, excelled in defense, which was why Fairy Han Qiong assigned her to guard the two female disciples. The tool she released was a magic item shaped like a Changming Lamp, which floated above the owner’s head upon release and emitted a dim blue light, illuminating a three-foot area around the three women.
Ning Xiaoxian’s attack fell on the blue light shield and rebounded, faintly feeling a strong counterforce, making her inwardly startled. (To be continued.
