Chapter 441: Intolerable

Chapter 441: Intolerable

Within the Cloud Sea Cliff, in a secluded stone chamber.

The pitch-black stone room was filled with thick fog, indicating that Yan Shuangzi's advancement was relatively smooth.

Deng Yuxiang leaned against the stone wall, but his mind seemed restless.

His close friend's situation was going well, but he had no idea what was happening outside.

【Nightmare, Soul Retrieval.】

【Yes.】 Deng Yuxiang responded immediately, feeling heavy-hearted. After all this time, had the battle outside not ended yet?

Sigh.

Venturing in the Holy Spirit Mountain Realm was truly a challenging journey.

"Hu~" Accompanied by a surge of energy, a teleportation mirror appeared in the stone chamber.

【Now.】 Lu Ran released the souls from the Soul Prison, setting them free.

Subsequently, a string of "Morning Pearl" and a heavy Golden Chan Staff were thrown into the mirror.

Several kilometers away in the mountains, Lu Ran put away the teleportation mirror.

He did not plan to absorb the Blazing Heaven Follower's soul right away.

Because the Divine Statue of Li Tian in the sculpture garden had already been activated and was currently at the River Realm Stage Three. If Lu Ran directly absorbed the soul, the Li Tian statue would likely advance on the spot!

In that case, Lu Ran's mind would undoubtedly buzz with thoughts, which was not conducive to combat.

"Heh"

Lu Ran exhaled, gazing into the distance, and his figure vanished in a flash.

When he reappeared, he had reached the edge of the battlefield and hid behind a large tree.

The Burning Gate Three Seas were surrounding Shi Yali, blocking her escape.

Xun Yifei's position was rather unusual! Xun Yifei, who couldn't fly, was currently at the highest point of the battle, standing on the branch of a towering tree.

It was common knowledge that all Yan Qing disciples specialized in water combat.

On land, Yan Qing disciples could manage to some extent, but they couldn't unleash their full combat prowess.

As for aerial combat, ordinary Yan Qing disciples lacked the ability to fly.

However, Yan Qing disciples above the River Realm possessed flight capabilities!

But there was one big prerequisite:

The battlefield must be raining, and the rain had to be heavy enough!

At this moment, Xun Yifei, enveloped in a thin stream of water, was freely weaving through the layers of rain, enjoying himself immensely.

With the assistance of the Divine Weapon Three-Pronged Saber, this water combat specialist had become the fastest and most agile flyer among the Burning Gate trio.

Xun Yifei's presence was akin to a one-man barrier, completely sealing off the high skies and leaving Shi Yali with no way to ascend.

However, the Second Rank Deity, a Heavenly Crane Sect Disciple, was not one to be trifled with!

Aside from being slightly inferior in offensive capabilities, Shi Yali's abilities in defense, control, and healing were all top-notch.

"Everyone, let's talk this out!" Shi Yali shouted.

She flew backward in the air, her hands reaching forward.

"Huuu!"

A fierce gust of wind and turbulent waves shot out from her palms.

Heavenly Crane Sect Divine Technique: Heavenly Wind Chaos! Amidst the terrifying wind and waves, the momentum of countless arrows diminished, and some even wobbled and nearly fell.

By the time the arrow rain reached Shi Yali's eyes, it had lost its initial force.

"Hu~"

Shi Yali controlled a pair of broad and white Phoenix Clan wings, flapping them vigorously in front of her!

The dense arrows were instantly scattered and fell to the ground.

Luo Shen Jiang, a Sea Realm Stage Four powerhouse, had her Sea Realm Divine Technique: Heaven Linking Beads easily intercepted, demonstrating the capabilities of the Heavenly Crane Sect disciples.

However, Shi Yali didn't feel the slightest sense of accomplishment; instead, her temples throbbed with a strong desire to prove herself.

What a competitive Asha disciple!

Her Heavenly Wind Chaos technique was not enough to blow away the arrows, and she had to resort to flapping her Phoenix wings to defend herself? Shi Yali's thoughts surged, and a massive circle of wind and waves suddenly expanded from within her.

Heavenly Crane Sect Divine Technique: Heavenly Wind Dispersal! She sensed someone approaching from behind!

"Huuu!"

The fierce circle of wind and waves expanded, resembling the wind and waves that emanated from one's body during advancement.

Above Shi Yali, Yu Changsheng held a fan in front of his face, shielding himself from the wind, while his other hand reached forward, forcefully casting a technique!

Dragon Carp Sect Divine Technique: Dragon Carp Break! Terrifying schools of fish appeared, charging forward against the wind and waves.

Although many small dragon carps were tossed about by the wind circle, there were even more small dragon carps leaping and swimming through the rain, attacking Shi Yali.

"My friend, you jest." Yu Changsheng was enveloped in a faint golden "Soft and Delicate Silk," hovering in the night sky, finally stabilizing his body.

Lu Ran, hidden in the shadows and searching for an opportunity, watched with a pounding heart.

Yu Changsheng was already a graceful and handsome young master, like someone from ancient times.

At this moment, he was surrounded by faint golden silk, exuding an air of nobility and elegance, and was simply a peerless genius.

"If you intend to harm us, how can you talk about 'let's talk'?" Yu Changsheng's voice echoed again.

Shi Yali suddenly turned around, and with a wide sweep of her wings, she fanned away a large number of small dragon carps.

Compared to the arrows shot by Luo Ying, the small fish summoned by Yu Changsheng were far inferior in both speed and destructive power.

Each to their own specialties!

Yu Changsheng's offensive capabilities were slightly lacking, but it wasn't embarrassing.

Similarly, this statement also applied to Shi Yali.

The Phoenix Clan's offensive capabilities were also scarce.

She hurriedly said, "It's my fault for not being observant. I'm willing to offer a divine weapon as compensation. Please, can you spare us?"

"Oh?" Yu Changsheng raised his hand, understanding her intentions.

Upon seeing Yu Changsheng's hand signal, the Xun couple ceased their attacks and obeyed.

Shi Yali's heart rejoiced, and she immediately drew the curved blade from her waist, saying, "I beg you to forgive my rash actions. I promise never to set foot here again. I offer this Cold Moon Saber as a token of my sincerity."

From start to finish, Shi Yali never once mentioned Shi Guangwei's name.

After such a long time, the forest's raging flames had long been extinguished by the heavy rain, and there was no sign of the Blazing Heaven Followers' furious roars.

(End of Chapter)Thinking back, Shi Yali must have believed that Shi Guangwei had met with an accident, which is why she asked for peace.

But Lu Ran didn't see any signs of sadness or distress in Shi Yali.

Was her acting that good?

Or perhaps, this so-called 'elder sister' had long been a Blazing Heaven Follower.

"Let me see it." Yu Changsheng waved his hand.

In the golden drizzle, Shi Yali looked at the Asha disciples ahead, their eyes fixed on her, and then glanced at the Yan Qing disciple standing in the air.

She made up her mind, turned around, and threw the Cold Moon Saber towards Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng smirked inwardly, taking the saber and pretending to examine it.

As Shi Yali secretly hoped, Yu Changsheng spoke, "Your life is valuable, but a single saber is not enough."

Shi Yali's expression turned as cold as water.

In a desperate situation, a person naturally clings to any chance of survival, even if it means self-deception.

However, Shi Yali wasn't that foolish.

Today, they lost five cities, and tomorrow, they might lose ten. Eventually, the Qin army will arrive again.

The Cold Moon Saber could be given as a test. Ever since she took this saber, the artifact spirit had completely cut off all connections with the outside world.

It didn't recognize a master!

Holding it in her hand, it was no different from a lifeless object.

But the Cold Moon Sword showed signs of yielding!

Just now, when several people attacked, it was the Cold Moon Sword that showed mercy and warned Shi Yali.

"You are a Dragon Carp Sect Disciple, kind-hearted and a Sea Realm cultivator. Are you really going to go back on your word? It tarnishes your identity and diminishes your prestige!" Shi Yali looked at Yu Changsheng, her words revealing her careful consideration.

She had also realized that although Yu Changsheng was a Third Rank Deity's disciple, he was the leader of this group.

And the prestigious identity of a Dragon Carp Sect Disciple had given Shi Yali unrealistic hopes.

Unfortunately, there were no surprises.

"You're a Heavenly Crane Sect Disciple, and you should be gentle and kind, right?" Yu Changsheng smiled.

"Hmph," Shi Yali's lips curled, as if she had something to say, and no one needed to pretend anymore.

She directly ignored the topic and said in a deep voice, "I admit I was rash, and it's my fault! I'm a Fourth Stage Sea Realm cultivator, and I believe I have some abilities! I'm willing to join your organization, serve you faithfully, and atone for my sins for the rest of my life. I beg you to accept me!"

Lu Ran: "..."

Is this even possible?

She failed to kill and now begs for mercy. While it's a human instinct, for someone as powerful as her, it's shameless.

But when her pleas were ignored, she suddenly bowed and asked to join them.

Yu Changsheng spoke, "Give me the sword, and I'll consider it."

Shi Yali's expression turned ugly. "I've already given you a Divine Weapon, and now you want me to be your cow? Why do you keep pushing me? Do you want me to break through all obstacles?"

Yu Changsheng sighed inwardly.

This woman is clear-headed; she can't be fooled.

Fine, if she won't hand over her weapon, then they'll just have to take it by force.

Yu Changsheng smirked, "We're not the same. We can't accommodate a big Buddha like you."

As he spoke, Yu Changsheng took action, unleashing a large number of Dragon Carp Divine Techniques.

Shi Yali didn't pretend either. She soared into the air, her voice cold as she shouted, "What a hypocrite!

We're all disciples of the same master, and what are you trying to prove?"

"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh!"

Shi Yali shot upwards, and countless white feathers shot out from her wings.

This was the only offensive technique in the Heavenly Crane Sect's Divine Technique list.

"Ten Thousand Dragons Sea-Stabilizing Arrow!" Yu Changsheng commanded, releasing a dense swarm of Dragon Carp Divine Techniques to counter the attack.

Yu Changsheng was confident in his abilities.

The Burning Gate Sect might not be known for its kindness, but it wasn't a malicious group either.

You're the one holding a butcher's knife, leading people to attack our sect!

I retaliate, and you accuse me of being the same as you?

No! We're very different!

"Thud!"

The intense vibration of the bowstring made Shi Yali's heart jump to her throat.

"Whoosh!" As she flapped her wings and flew upwards, she forcefully threw the Cold Moon Sword, and a burst of intense energy erupted from her hand.

A fierce windstorm arose!

The terrifying wind and chaotic currents greatly increased the speed and momentum of the Cold Moon Sword, aiming straight for Xun Yifei]: "Heavenly Wind Chaos!"

Shi Yali's attack couldn't harm Xun Yifei.

Because Xun Yifei's body was filled with Water Whips, which attacked the constantly shooting white feathers on their own.

Yan Qing Divine Technique: Thousand Water Whips!

It was indeed a battle of divine abilities, each with their own unique power. Xun Yifei skillfully used the Water Whips to block the randomly flying feathers, but he was especially wary of Shi Yali's next move!

That Cold Moon Sword had the Sea Realm Divine Technique: Heavenly Wind Chaos, and its momentum was astonishing, far surpassing the light feathers.

This terrifying combination would surely pierce through his Water Whips. Hmm?

Xun Yifei, facing a formidable enemy, desperately dodged, only to suddenly discover a Mirror of Descent opening in midair.

The intense wind and chaotic currents greatly enhanced the speed and strength of the Divine Weapon Sword, aiming to pierce through the enemy's head. It fiercely attacked, and then...

The Divine Weapon Sword pierced the mirror and completely disappeared.

Shi Yali: !!!
