When Earth Awakened, I Became a Sword Saintess

Chapter 181 : Slaying the Void Truth Realm

181: Slaying the Void Truth Realm

"Senior Brother Nan!" At this moment, Li Zhu was several dozen meters behind Xia Yuyin. He threw an ancient seal toward her. He knew Xia Yuyin was formidable, but this ancient seal was a demon-slaying treasure his master had given him. After the seal flew out, Li Zhu followed, charging toward Xia Yuyin.

"Junior Sister, let's attack together!" Li Zhu shouted at the same time.

Hearing this, Fei Ning, with the pain in her face and chest, hesitated for a moment before gritting her teeth and following with a hateful expression. But this hesitation, for the speed of a Void Truth Realm expert, meant she was more than a dozen body lengths behind.

The small seal grew larger in the air, carrying a powerful suppressing force as it crashed down toward Xia Yuyin.

"What kind of treasure is this?"

Xia Yuyin didn't know, but the suppressing force was immense, making her feel as if her movements were being oppressed by an invisible power. And she was surrounded by enemy cultivators on all sides, with two powerful Early-Stage of Void Truth Realm experts closing in from nearby.

Since there were threats in every direction, she might as well face them head-on.

"Suppressing force? Let's see just how strong it is!"

Facing the heavy, square seal, over a foot wide, crashing down on her, Xia Yuyin's long, round, powerful legs, full of feminine strength, suddenly kicked out.

"You fool! You dare to use your physical body against my master's bestowed anti-suppression treasure?" Li Zhu said with gleeful schadenfreude.

Thud!

A dull sound rang out. The intense shockwave made many cultivators and evil spirits' heads ache.

Xia Yuyin's kick, like a beautiful jade pillar, unexpectedly and skillfully, stopped the square seal in mid-air. The massive suppressing fluctuations were shattered, scattering in all directions and knocking over a dozen or so cultivators and many Ghost Clansmen.

"What!???" Even Li Zhu was staggered in the air by the shockwave emitted from his own treasure, forcing him to stomp heavily on the ground to regain his charge.

Ding, you have completely broken Li Zhu's preconceived notions. Gained 150 Soul Charm Points.

With its suppressing power scattered, the seal was at its last gasp.

Xia Yuyin retracted her leg and extended her left hand. Her slender, jade-like fingers gently brushed across the hard, rough surface of the seal.

"What... what is this woman doing!?" Li Zhu was momentarily stunned.

Xia Yuyin, in such a critical situation, would not casually touch something like this. She unleashed her absorption power.

The seal, its power already scattered, made direct contact with her fingers. It could not resist her inconceivable absorption power. In an instant, the seal, which had been radiating a heavy and formidable aura, had its essence drained.

Li Zhu watched helplessly as the treasure his master had given him dimmed, turning into an ordinary stone.

"You have gained 5 points of Yuan Essence. Additionally, you have used this absorption method in front of everyone. Please be mindful of your bearing to avoid arousing suspicion," the female will reported, kindly reminding her.

Xia Yuyin came to her senses. She suppressed her aura, holding back her voice. Only her face was slightly flushed, and a hint of mist passed through her eyes.

"This... are you a Xia woman, or a she-demon!?" Li Zhu was furious. The Primordial Energy of his Early-Stage of Void Truth Realm erupted with full force as he charged to Xia Yuyin's front. Seizing the moment Xia Yuyin was distracted from absorbing the Yuan Essence, he stabbed his sword toward her lower abdomen. He knew that for a Void Truth Realm woman, piercing the heart was a certain kill, but piercing the Purple Source Palace was not necessarily fatal. It might only destroy her cultivation, turning her into a woman with no power to resist.

However, although Xia Yuyin seemed affected by absorbing the Yuan Essence, her eyes a bit misty, her movements remained swift.

Her expression was still hazy, but the longsword in her hand had already moved. She forcefully flicked it upward.

Clang!

This undeniable force flicked Li Zhu's ritual sword upward. At the same time, Xia Yuyin turned as smoothly as flowing clouds and water, slashing her sword toward Li Zhu's abdomen.

Slice!

In Fei Ning's view, who was charging toward Xia Yuyin from behind, Li Zhu's back was split in two. A line of blood sprayed onto her body.

"Aah!" Fei Ning screamed hysterically.

Her Senior Brother, an inner disciple and true elite of the Jingyuan School who should have been slaughtering Ghost Clansmen like dogs, Senior Brother Li, had been cleaved in two by this woman right before her eyes.

At this moment, she saw Xia Yuyin's still calm gaze.

There was no cruelty, no bloodlust. There was only the decisiveness of pursuing the ultimate combat result to the utmost.

This Xia woman, she wasn't brutal, she wasn't cruel, but... her attacks were too ruthless!

In that instant, Junior Sister Fei Ning's will collapsed. She dared not face Xia Yuyin's gaze again. She abruptly stopped her attack, fell to the ground in a panic, turned, and fled into the night.

"Master, save me! Senior Sister Bai, save me!"

Fei Ning had broken down.

"Junior Brother Li!!" At this moment, Nan Zhou, who had risen from the ruins of the tower, was also on the verge of madness from shock and anger. He had thought this was just an attack on a medium Ghost Clan fortress, that there would be no casualties. But he never imagined that not only would several outer disciples die, but even Junior Brother Li would be killed! How would he explain this to his master, his grandmaster, and his Senior Sister? How would he explain it to the forces behind Junior Brother Li?

The one who died was a scion of the Li family!

Even if he had to risk his life, he had to take this Xia woman's head to have something to bring back!

"Xia Yuyin!"

Nan Zhou was furious. He burst through the flames and ruins, charging toward Xia Yuyin.

While running, his iron brush continuously wrote several large characters. The power of these characters was great, but they also consumed a lot of his Primordial Energy and Purple Qi.

The large characters flew toward Xia Yuyin.

Boom! Boom!

Several Ghost Clan shamans and she-demons cast spell barriers and attacks to block these large characters for Xia Yuyin. Although they couldn't completely block them, they consumed some of their power.

The other Jingyuan School disciples around them, some attacked the Ghost Clansmen, while others surrounded and attacked Xia Yuyin.

Xia Yuyin continuously kicked a broken wall, sending large chunks of the thick wall flying toward the large, green, fiery characters. With the terrifying speed of Xia Yuyin's kick, the broken wall also carried great power. Chunks collided with the large characters, causing dazzling, bright green fire explosions.

Under the reflection of the heavy green flames, blue-robed disciples one after another jumped and ran, killing toward Xia Yuyin.

Xia Yuyin's figure, in the midst of it all, wielded her longsword, dodging and slashing with wide, open movements.

Thud, thud, thud!

One after another, blue-robed disciples fell under Xia Yuyin's slashes.

"Xia Yuyin!" The furious Nan Zhou burst through the flames, stabbing his sword toward Xia Yuyin. This stab carried a venomous green sword aura, a killing move of the Jingyuan School.

Xia Yuyin's hand lightly brushed her chest, and a cold light appeared.

"What!"

Whoosh!

A flying dagger shot toward Nan Zhou's face.

Nan Zhou was greatly shocked. He never expected that Xia Yuyin, who fought with such wide, open movements, using a longsword and powerful cleaving force, and who had even directly taken on a suppressing artifact, would suddenly use a hidden weapon.

He instinctively tried with all his might to dodge, but it was too late.

The flying dagger pierced his throat. Blood gushed out.

The killing move's green sword aura, having lost control, turned on him, burning his body. He was also injured by the scattered sword energy.

Nan Zhou fell. At this moment, breathing was already extremely difficult. Blood continuously poured from his throat. But for a Mid-Stage of Void Truth Realm expert, even though his body refinement was not his strong suit, his flesh was still transforming, and his life force was already immense. Even with his throat pierced by the flying dagger, he wouldn't die so easily. He grabbed the dagger, trying to pull it out, while circulating the Primordial Energy in his body to stop the bleeding and heal his wound.

However, his blood and energy were flowing away too quickly. As he fell, he found he suddenly couldn't pull out the dagger.

"No, I must live, I must..."

In the instant he landed, Nan Zhou saw that the tall, long-haired female figure was already in front of him.

"No!"

The next instant, Xia Yuyin's icy longsword pierced Nan Zhou's body. The powerful impact sent him flying backward, crashing into a watchtower and rolling to the ground.

Nan Zhou lay face up on the ground. He pulled out the flying dagger, but he no longer had the strength to stop the bleeding.

His eyes gazed emptily at the night sky, still holding a look of disbelief.

"This... how is this possible? What... did I do? Why... did it end up like this..."

Nan Zhou lost his last bit of consciousness.

The Mid-Stage of Void Truth Realm Nan Zhou died by Xia Yuyin's sword. To his last breath, he could not believe it.

If Xia Yuyin hadn't suddenly used a hidden weapon, even if Nan Zhou couldn't defeat her, he should have been able to retreat. But he had been careless, or rather, he had never imagined that someone with Xia Yuyin's fighting style would also use hidden weapons.

Seeing this scene, with Senior Brother Nan Zhou of the Mid-Stage of Void Truth Realm and Senior Brother Li Zhu of the Early-Stage of Void Truth Realm dead, and Junior Sister Fei Ning having fled, how could the other outer disciples of the Late-Stage of Purple Domain Realm dare to continue fighting? They scattered and fled in all directions. The Ghost Clansmen, who held a bitter hatred for them, chased them madly, managing to hunt down and kill one or two.

Xia Yuyin did not chase and kill the outer disciples. They had scattered and fled; even if she gave chase, she couldn't catch many. Since some of them could escape, there was no need to pursue.

Xia Yuyin looked at the dozen or so corpses of the Alien Tribe cultivators on the ground. Among them were two green-robed disciples: one Mid-Stage of Void Truth Realm, one Early-Stage.

In the past, in Xia Yuyin's eyes, for someone like Lan Lingfeng of the Late-Stage of Purple Domain Realm to kill an Early-Stage of Void Truth Realm expert was an unimaginable event, like a dragon soaring in the sky.

But now, she herself could slay Void Truth Realm experts.

And she had done so while outnumbered by enemies. She had even slain a Mid-Stage of Void Truth Realm expert. Of course, there was an element of chance, but the result was what it was.

Under the firelight, at this moment, Xia Yuyin couldn't help but feel a bit emotional.

Now, she no longer feared experts below the Mid-Stage of Void Truth Realm. Even if she encountered a Late-Stage of Void Truth Realm expert, she could at least protect herself.

In this vast Prison Abyss, she now had a certain qualification to walk with her sword.

"A fairy, a fairy descended to save us!"

At this time, the white-bearded Ghost Clan elder, followed by several old Ghost Clan shamans, came forward and knelt before the tall Xia Yuyin. This time, they knelt closer, only a few meters away. Perhaps they wanted to get even closer but dared not, fearing it would be blasphemous. At this distance, they could better feel the powerful Primordial Energy and feminine aura emanating from Xia Yuyin, as well as the slenderness of her jade-like legs.

"You all..." Although they were all ugly Ghost Clansmen, they all spoke the Huaxia language, so they could communicate.

"What are you standing around for?" The white-bearded Ghost Clan elder looked at the Ghost Clansmen of all ages, as well as the she-demons, who were staring blankly at Xia Yuyin. "Hurry and kneel before the descended fairy! She must be the one from the ancient prophecy, the one who comes from the Other Shore to save us, the great Fairy Lord! All of you, kneel! Kowtow to the Fairy Lord!"

"The descended fairy, the Other Shore's Ling Flower, draped in snow and wielding rain, her charm bewitching all directions, assisting our king, the heavenly tribulation shall not cover us, the heavenly tribulation shall not cover us!" The white-bearded Ghost Clan elder spread his arms, chanting wildly in a loud voice, and then knelt deeply before Xia Yuyin.

The many Ghost Clansmen, of all ages and sizes, and the she-demons also surrounded the somewhat bewildered Xia Yuyin in the firelight, chanting along with the elder, and one after another, they knelt and kowtowed to her.
