When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 180 : The Advent of a Fairy

180: The Advent of a Fairy

"A female cultivator, Early-Stage of Void Truth Realm?" This was the first time Xia Yuyin had seen a female Alien Tribe cultivator of the Void Truth Realm. This green-robed female cultivator had a good figure and a beautiful face, but she had an innate cruelty in her bones.

Xia Yuyin didn't dare to be careless. Facing Fei Ning's sword, which was faster than her Senior Brother Li Zhu's, Xia Yuyin met it at a slightly longer than normal interception distance, using the tip of her longsword to parry.

In terms of strength, Xia Yuyin had the advantage. Even an Early-Stage of Void Truth Realm Alien Beast King was no match for her, let alone this Alien Tribe female cultivator.

When the two swords clashed, sparks flew. However, Fei Ning's sword suddenly twisted like a snake. All its segments extended, turning into a long whip that coiled around Xia Yuyin's sword and lashed toward her.

"A dirty trick, as expected!" Xia Yuyin kicked off the ground and leaped backward to evade.

"Watch me whip that beautiful, white skin of yours to shreds! Hehehehe, beating a beautiful woman until her body is covered in blood and her face is unrecognizable, that's the best sight, hehehehe!" Fei Ning pursued, stepping on air. She danced her centipede-like sword, whipping it toward Xia Yuyin at incredible speed. For a moment, Xia Yuyin felt as if dozens of metal centipedes were charging toward various parts of her body.

"Truly, not a single one of these Alien Tribesmen is any good! Even a beautiful woman is this cruel." Xia Yuyin's long, beautiful leg stomped heavily on the ground. She backflipped and landed on a damaged roof, creating distance between herself and this cruel female cultivator.

Fei Ning leaped after her.

Suddenly, Xia Yuyin flicked her long white sleeve. The scarf within shot out, transforming into a long ribbon. Although it was a ribbon, infused with Xia Yuyin's Primordial Energy and slightly dampened with her spiritual water, its power was immense, like the heavy punch of a Void Truth Realm expert.

Thump!

The suddenly lashed ribbon struck Fei Ning squarely in the chest, knocking her from the air.

"Ah!" Fei Ning cried out, falling to the ground.

"Junior Sister!" Nan Zhou shouted, rushing over from a distant tower. He called out, "Kill this Xia woman first! But be careful, this woman is extremely dangerous. All Junior and Senior Brothers, attack together!"

Nan Zhou, at the Mid-Stage of Void Truth Realm, was fully confident in his ability to defeat Xia Yuyin, but it would cost him a fair amount of energy and treasure. He didn't mind relying on his numerical advantage and the Jingyuan School's coordination to kill this Xia woman at the minimal cost.

Fei Ning clutched her chest and rose from the ground, gritting her teeth as she glared at Xia Yuyin. "You, how do you have our treasure! You Xia woman bitch, how dare you steal my clan's treasure!"

Since birth, Fei Ning had never been struck like this, never suffered such a loss. Even her powerful Senior Brothers had to yield to her. This woman had dared to use such heavy-handed tactics.

"Xia woman bitch... you deserve to die. I will tear your body into ten thousand pieces!"

"Kill!"

Fei Ning, along with the dozen or so blue-robed disciples who had surrounded her, attacked Xia Yuyin from all directions. Several of them directly threw curse talismans and magical pearls at her, while a few people in the rear formed two small sword formations, shooting seven or eight flying swords toward Xia Yuyin.

For a moment, facing such a pincer attack from all sides, Xia Yuyin felt that things were not looking good.

"You bastards of the Li Su, do you think our Ghost Clan doesn't exist!"

"The Xia woman is one of us! If we just watch her be tortured and killed by these beasts, we'll all be next!"

"Nonsense, what kind of talk is that? The Xia woman and we are complete strangers. For her to step in and help, how righteous is that? Even if our entire Ghost Clan is wiped out, we cannot let the Xia woman die!"

Numerous sturdy evil spirits also rushed over from all directions. Many of them were covered in wounds, but their bodies were strong. Although their strength was limited, their life force was tenacious. The Ghost Clansmen swarmed forward, attacking the cultivators who were besieging Xia Yuyin.

"Let's fight!"

In the distance, a few old Ghost Clan shamans also stood on rooftops or behind broken walls, casting spells to support them.

"You're courting death!"

Many of the blue-robed disciples besieging Xia Yuyin had no choice but to turn and deal with these Ghost Clansmen. The Ghost Clansmen were powerful, but the cultivators' strength lay in their Qi cultivation, magic treasures, and sword formations. Their physical bodies were no match for the Ghost Clansmen. If they were hit, it would be just as dangerous.

For a moment, the melee erupted in full force again. But this time, the morale of the Ghost Clan was greatly boosted, after all, they had this powerful, heaven-sent Xia woman as an ally.

"Flying swords!?" Xia Yuyin swiftly jumped from the rooftop to a nearby broken wall, dodging several flying swords and curse talismans. But the flying swords circled around and came after her again. The power of each of these flying swords was no less than Senior Sister Lian's, perhaps even stronger. The control these Alien Tribesmen had over flying swords, with the exception of geniuses like Senior Sister Lian, was something most Earth Source Martial Practitioners could not compare to.

"You think only you can attack from a distance?" Xia Yuyin's gaze turned cold. She spread her long legs to steady herself on the broken wall, changed her grip on her longsword to a two-handed hold, and unleashed a heavy slash through the air.

Feather Sky Slash!

In the clear night sky, it seemed as if a void was created, rapidly swirling with the artistic conception of rain.

Boom!

The Feather Sky Slash was too fast. The terrifying air current directly scattered the flying swords and slammed into the four-man sword formation over a hundred meters away. The four blue-robed disciples were sent flying.

The terrifying tremors contained within the Sense of Rain were far more impactful than the physical force. The internal organs of the four were all shaken. The blue-robed cultivator in the middle had his Source Core shattered and died as his internal organs violently ruptured.

Three blue-robed disciples charged at Xia Yuyin from behind with their swords. Xia Yuyin's long sleeve, with its white ribbon, was like a streak of moonlight in the moonless Prison Abyss.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The three were sent flying, unable to get anywhere near Xia Yuyin.

"Bitch!"

Fei Ning whipped her metal centipede-like sword toward Xia Yuyin's waist.

Xia Yuyin leaped high into the night sky, dodging the whip. Her ribbon danced like a white rainbow.

Smack!

It struck the woman's face heavily again, knocking her to the ground, where she crashed against a broken wall.

Half of Fei Ning's face was swollen. She was practically insane with rage. Her pretty face had actually been swollen by this woman.

"Kill her, Senior Brother, kill her for me! I want to flay the skin off this woman!!" Fei Ning stomped her feet on the ground hysterically.

"Xia woman, who exactly are you!? I, Nan Zhou, do not kill nameless nobodies. State your name!" Nan Zhou's body radiated the terrifying aura of a Mid-Stage of Void Truth Realm expert that filled the night sky. He was even a bit stronger than the white-bearded old man who had hunted Xia Yuyin before.

However, Xia Yuyin was no longer the Xia Yuyin of five months ago. If you went back a year and a half, she was just a little girl who couldn't even handle an ordinary man.

Things were different now.

"Xia Yuyin." Xia Yuyin did not hide her name. In the Prison Abyss, did who she was matter? To the Alien Tribes, seeing an Earthling meant a fight to the death, regardless of who you were.

"Fine. Xia Yuyin, I will engrave your name on my ledger of kills!" Nan Zhou's gaze was gloomy. He leaped from a high place toward Xia Yuyin, but with one hand, he pulled an iron brush from his waist. He casually wrote an Alien Tribe character on the wall of a nearby pavilion. In the spirit language, it meant "rock."

"Hmph, it's just a shame that even if you die by my sword, I might not even remember you." Xia Yuyin retorted coldly.

"Be careful, Xia woman Xia Yuyin, that's a Spirit Language Script!" a Ghost Clan elder warned from a distance.

The upper floor of the pavilion broke off and flew into the air, heavily crashing down toward Xia Yuyin.

"Hmph." Xia Yuyin let out a cold snort and slashed down with her Severing Water sword.

Boom!

Half of the pavilion was directly cleaved in two, disintegrating and exploding in mid-air. Bricks and stones flew everywhere.

Seeing this, Nan Zhou's eyebrow twitched. "Xia Yuyin! I've heard that many of you Xia people who cultivate Qi also practice body refinement. Hahahaha, how primitive and foolish. Cultivating both body and Qi, in the end, your achievements in both will be limited! This is the path to self-destruction!"

From the scattering rubble, Nan Zhou stepped on a broken eave and charged toward Xia Yuyin with a Primordial Energy that shook the night sky.

"Behold my Jingyuan Sword Art!"

From a high position, Nan Zhou's emerald-green ritual sword shone with curse inscriptions. Illusory shadows of sword energy appeared around the sword, just as whip-like shadows had appeared around Fei Ning's centipede soft sword, but each illusory shadow was clearly much stronger. It seemed to contain the terrifying concept of sulfur flames that could burn away everything.

Several streams of sword energy merged into one, forming a bright, glaring, thick green sword aura on Nan Zhou's sword, half a meter wide and several meters long, with trailing green fiery flames, stabbing toward Xia Yuyin.

The surrounding cultivators, seeing Nan Zhou use this move right from the start, were all terrified. "That, that's Senior Brother Nan's ultimate technique! It's a supreme sword art of our Jingyuan School that only inner disciples can learn!"

"That Xia woman is dead for sure!"

"Hahahaha! Such a beautiful, lowly woman is about to be decapitated and her face disfigured. What a pity!"

"Senior Brother Nan is known for his ruthless attacks. He's going for the kill right away..." a blue-robed disciple said, his eyes glazing over as he watched the green light continuously approaching Xia Yuyin.

"Hmph, it's for the best that this bitch dies!" Junior Sister Fei Ning, the green-robed disciple, stood to the side, a vicious smile on her face.

Although she didn't know what kind of move it was, Xia Yuyin could feel that the opponent's Primordial Energy power was on par with her own!

While erupting with her full power, a stream of Purple Brilliance flowed within Xia Yuyin. At the tip of her sword, between the crystal-clear artistic conception of rain, a faint purple glint flashed. The power instantly increased by several times.

She leaped into the air, stomping so hard that the broken wall beneath her shattered. She met Nan Zhou's green sword aura with a slash of her own.

A blade of light, crystal clear, with wisps of purple glint!

The blade of light cut into the green aura. In an instant, the green aura shattered into countless fiery streams. Xia Yuyin's icy longsword struck Nan Zhou's ritual sword.

Clang!

Nan Zhou felt an unimaginable force. It was so strong he could barely feel his own arm. Like an insect struck by a flying raindrop, he was sent flying backward on impact.

Boom!

He crashed into a tower several dozen meters behind him, falling into a cloud of smoke and dust.

The smoke was still rising and scattering, but their Senior Brother Nan Zhou did not get up.

Inside the fortress, with the point of impact between Xia Yuyin and Nan Zhou as the center, dozens of Jingyuan School disciples in the vicinity were all stunned.

For a moment, they fell into a collective silence. The previous arrogance, the air of killing Ghost Clansmen as if they were chickens, seemed to have dissipated by more than half.

"Ding, from the extreme shock of the Jingyuan School's inner disciple Nan Zhou. Gained 180 Soul Charm Points."

"Successfully breaking Nan Zhou's useless theory of dual body and Qi cultivation. Gained 135 points of Soul Charm."

"From the fear, anger, and hatred of the green-robed disciple Fei Ning. Gained 124 points of Soul Charm... From the shock, panic, and silence of the numerous Jingyuan School outer disciples in blue robes. Gained 205 points of Soul Charm."

"Oh? Not dead yet?" Xia Yuyin, in her fluttering white dress, her long, jade-like legs faintly visible, gazed calmly at the cloud of dust.

"A fairy... she, she is a fairy... a fairy descended to save us!" Not far away, a withered, skinny Ghost Clan elder with sparse white beard knelt in the firelight, his eyes staring blankly at Xia Yuyin.
