Heaven Refining physique-Chapter 64: Gift
Chapter 64: Gift
Ming Yue and Jiang Hao weren’t even able to see the attack coming. It was the strength of the peak stage of the Void Reversion realm, after all. They only heard the collision when it struck the protective array.
"Senior, that really was an amazing attack. How about you attack again, as our eyes weren’t able to follow your movements? This time, please teach us carefully, as you promised to guide us."
Jiang Hao was speechless. They had already lured them inside the array; was there really a need to carry this on?
"You—"
"What, you?"
Huan Caiyi appeared in front of Ming Yue and Jiang Hao, followed by Zhi Hui.
"To think Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary would send just a brainless cultivator like you, not to mention attacking juniors just because you got agitated by them."
"Hmph..."
Chen Xi calmed himself down and spoke in a condescending manner.
"You must be feeling quite satisfied by trapping us, but who was trapped here is yet to be decided. You both are only in the mid stage. Given your strength, you will definitely be able to handle two of us, but are you guys blind? There are five of us.
And not to mention, I am quite confident in defeating one of you, since only my strength is limited to Void Reversion, not my methods. The control I have over my law is far greater than you can even think about."
"That’s true, you would definitely be able to handle one of us, but..."
Before finishing her sentence, Huan Caiyi moved. She took out her sword and disappeared.
Chen Xi’s eyes constricted; he gathered a large amount of water around him to use as a shield.
Huan Caiyi appeared just a little above his head and brought down the sword in a slashing manner toward his head. The sword was already burning with extreme heat.
Thhhishhhhhhhh
The moment the sword struck the water barrier, a large amount of steam was produced. The water barrier wasn’t enough to handle the attack of Huan Caiyi, and she sliced through it easily.
Chen Xi knew about it already, so he had used the saber to block above him the moment her attack landed.
Tishhhhhhh
There was an intense sound of collision between the sword and saber.
Chen Xi wasn’t able to hold his ground and slid for at least three meters; his knees were also bent a little as the attack was from above.
"...defeating us, hehe... on what basis?"
She completed her sentence after the attack. But since everything happened in the blink of an eye, for Jiang Hao and Ming Yue, it was like a complete sentence with only a slight pause.
Chen Xi looked grim and was also cursing Zhao Qiang inside.
Zhao Qiang had said that both Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui were in the mid stage and had advanced two years ago. If what he said was true, then how did these two advance again so quickly?
Huan Caiyi didn’t give him any more time to think and attacked again.
Zhi Hui looked toward the other four; they looked quite grim. They had come to hunt them, but the situation had switched. They couldn’t even run away now; the only way was to fight to the death.
They gritted their teeth and attacked Zhi Hui together. freēnovelkiss.com
Zhi Hui looked at them calmly and slashed her sword multiple times, creating hundreds of wind blades. It was enough to overwhelm them completely.
Multiple wounds already appeared on their bodies. She had the strength to fight the peak stage cultivator when she was in the mid stage, and now that she had reached the late stage, defeating peak-stage cultivators wasn’t even a challenge for her.
Before the others could even get proper balance after handling the wind blades, she appeared in front of the only woman of the group. Zhi Hui’s speed was so fast that the others couldn’t even make out when she moved.
Zhi Hui put her sword on the neck of the woman gently and removed her head from her shoulder as elegantly as possible.
When the others saw how easy it was for Zhi Hui to kill them, they finally understood why these two were famous in the central region.
Before the head could even fall to the ground, multiple small wind blades minced it to pieces. The nascent soul of the woman, which was waiting for a chance to run away, was sliced into pieces, killing her completely.
The others knew they were doomed; there was nothing they could do to protect themselves. Their death was certain.
They couldn’t help but look toward Chen Xi, hoping that he might be able to pull something out to save them.
But their hopes were dashed when they saw him lying on the ground with multiple burn marks and wounds. Although he was alive right now, he would definitely die too.
Huan Caiyi was hurt too, but these wounds were negligible.
"You shouldn’t look somewhere else when your own life is hanging by a thread..."
Zhi Hui wasn’t going to wait for them. She had attacked again and said those words when she had already stabbed the heart of another cultivator.
This time, the nascent soul of the cultivator tried to run away from the beginning, but he felt his whole body covered in wind, forming a barrier around him.
Nascent souls of the Void Reversion realm were able to come out of the body but weren’t strong enough to handle harsh conditions, so the moment he came out, it also got killed by the winds created around his body.
There was no suspense left, and Zhi Hui killed the other two easily too. The only person who was still alive was Chen Xi.
"Look at you, how pitiful you are looking right now. How about you tell me about who the Azure Sky Sect has sent? So that I can send you on your way."
"Bitch... just wait, someday you will die in the same way, maybe eve—"
Before he could finish, his head was pierced by Huan Caiyi.
"That’s not what I asked for."
This was the end of all five cultivators of the Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary.
Ming Yue and Jiang Hao weren’t able to see the fight clearly, as it was beyond their scope of strength.
But Jiang Hao was certain of one thing: the title of Heavenly Sisters or Devil Sisters wasn’t for show.
Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui collected the storage bags and checked them.
"Well, at least these bastards were rich. If only the Azure Sky Sect cultivators had found us first, it would have been even more satisfactory."
"We don’t know if they would have fallen for this trick or not. The Azure Sky Sect wouldn’t send someone like this idiot for sure."
"Hmm... I wonder how Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary will react to this."
"We wouldn’t be here to know either way. Let’s leave."
"Wait a second."
Huan Caiyi took out a talisman from the storage bag of Chen Xi.
"As expected, it’s a Twin Resonance Talisman. Instead of using it, this guy tried to capture both Ming Yue and Jiang Hao for himself. What a greedy fool. Its other part is definitely with the Azure Sky Sect cultivators."
Huan Caiyi couldn’t help but exclaim!
Jiang Hao and Ming Yue came to her side along with Zhi Hui.
"Well, let’s just use it. I was worried that they might not be able to find this spot, but with this, that problem is solved."
She tore the talisman, and it caught fire by itself, burning to ashes.
"Aunt, shouldn’t we wait here? We might be able to ambush them too."
"I doubt that. They will definitely check for everything before making any move. This much gift is enough for them.
It would be quite a good outcome if Ethereal Cloud Sanctuary blamed this incident on the Azure Sky Sect itself. After all, it’s not easy to believe your enemy; even small misunderstandings can cause big reactions."
Eventually, they left the place and moved toward the forbidden zone.
Zhao Qiang and the others moved very swiftly. They had already reached the border of the forbidden zone but hadn’t encountered Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui.
"Let’s move along the border. If everything is alright, then we might meet the others on this path."
As he was about to move, he felt something and took a talisman out of his storage bag. It was the Twin Resonance Talisman.
This meant that Chen Xi had found them. He sighed in relief while thinking, At least this idiot informed me about it.
He released the talisman in his hand, and it flew toward the direction where its other part had been burned.
The direction wasn’t along the border, though; it was a little inside the dark forest. It was even better, as they would have little room to chase them if Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui were able to run away by any chance.
"I will go first."
His speed was a lot faster than the Void Reversion realm, and now that they had found them, he didn’t want the others to capture Huan Caiyi and Zhi Hui.
He had already left behind the talisman, which was moving at a slower speed than him, but it didn’t matter. After all, the direction was already known to him, and if something came into his range of spirit sense, he would be able to feel them immediately.
It didn’t take long before he sensed the bodies of five cultivators. Even after death, high-level cultivators’ bodies didn’t become devoid of spirit qi, so he was able to sense them.
And the way these five were lying motionlessly, he immediately understood what had happened.
It wasn’t Chen Xi who had used the talisman, but Huan Caiyi or Zhi Hui.
