I Bound Myself to a Destructive Witch-Chapter 523 - 491. Regeneration
Xia Feng was like a fish on the chopping board, split from skull to toes straight down the middle under the vertical slice of the great sword, as pale golden blood floated in the air.
"Whoosh—"
Below Jiang Qiu E’s feet, petals of blue lotus whirled up, and in the blink of an eye, she dissipated into a flow of flowers, reappearing amidst the clouds a kilometer high.
Her blue dress flapped in the wind.
Olivia, with half her face covered by armor, looked up, and in the next instant, like a thunderclap, she left behind nothing but a streak of electricity and likewise appeared above in the clouds.
Meanwhile, as Xia Feng, split in two by a single slash, was drawn back together by the pale golden blood, he swiftly recombined, looking good as new.
[Divine Relic · Queen Bee’s Tear Drop]
[Queen Bee: Jiang Qiu E]
[Bee: Xia Feng]
[Bee Hive Will: Nourished by ’honey’, your body will develop the will of the bee hive]
[Bee Regeneration: You may consume the absorbed ’honey’ to instantly repair and heal your body/soul. However, if too much ’honey’ is consumed, and the quantity inside your body is insufficient, it will lead to reversed aging, and over time you will gradually revert to an infant or even a fetal state, ultimately returning to death.]
This was the real effect of the Queen Bee’s Tear Drop, and the reason why Xia Feng had been willing to absorb the nutrients from Jiang Qiu E’s body over the past few days, definitely not for some unspeakable perverted thoughts...
Of course, there were significant limitations to this ability. Xia Feng could already sense that he had regressed from a bone age of nine years old back to eight, losing some height in the process.
Furthermore, as the Queen Bee, Jiang Qiu E could revoke this seemingly infinite regenerative ability at any time.
So once his identity was exposed in the future, he probably wouldn’t be able to use this ability.
But future matters could be discussed later; the current problem was how to defeat this crappy Holy Daughter, Olivia?
Xia Feng looked up into the distance; deep down, he always had a doubt, where was Jiang Qiu E’s Guardian Knight?
Master Yusi, although a shadow to Jiang Qiu E, didn’t seem to be her Guardian Knight.
"Teacher’s Guardian Knight was sacrificed by Olivia,"
As if perceiving his curiosity, Master Yusi spoke indifferently, "Supposedly, it was because the Guardian Knight privately discussed the obscene jokes about Olivia and Russell’s Dual Moon training, and that crazy woman happened to hear it. As you can imagine, she was split in two with a single slash."
"Since then, the teacher and Olivia had become enemies. Later, Olivia’s two Guardian Knights died accidentally during missions in the Calamity Realm. Some suspected it was the teacher’s doing."
No way, this Black Moon Church is so outrageous... Xia Feng raised an eyebrow. They just let the Holy Daughters fight amongst themselves? They don’t intervene at all?
During the conversation, the two Holy Daughters in the sky had not yet made a move but were each scanning the surroundings, searching for the beads.
Once thrown into mid-air, the bead would conceal itself in a Different Space, making it no easy task to locate.
Not far away, Russell, with his blood-red hair, adjusted the square glasses on his nose, a glint in his eyes flashing as if he had made a discovery, and with one step, he dashed towards the heavens.
Master Yusi’s expression changed, and he also leaped into the air, instantly blocking Russell’s path, sneering, "Glasses, where do you think you’re going?"
A Guardian Knight was considered part of the Holy Daughter’s combat power, so within the Black Moon Church, Guardian Knights were allowed to participate in battles between Holy Daughters.
Thus, Master Yusi was not able to strike at this moment.
However, the Red Bishop Obrian did not intervene to stop him, as the outcome of this duel had no suspense—Olivia was sure to win.
Moreover, Master Yusi also had the status of a reserve Guardian Knight, and strictly speaking, his action did not violate the rules.
"Olivia, make it a quick battle." After waiting for ten seconds and seeing no victor yet, Yeli Kong was getting impatient and said coldly,
"Beiqiu Abyss is ready to be opened. Don’t make me wait here and waste time with you."
Olivia glanced at the golden-haired man, her only exposed scarlet eyes indifferently chilling, "Golden-haired, are you teaching me how to do my job?"
The woman, devoid of any sense of hierarchy, made Ye Li Kong frown as his gaze, like lightning, fixed on Olivia, his heart boiling with the desire to battle.
"Oh, look at this conversation—are you guys not putting our Saintess Qiu E in your eyes at all? How hurtful that is."
A soft, sinister chuckle broke the silence, interrupting Ye Li Kong’s warlike thoughts.
It came from a delicate-looking man with pallid skin and a somewhat frail figure, who was twirling something like prayer beads in his hand and had a vague smile playing on his lips.
"Saintess Qiu E, these super geniuses don’t seem to be taking you seriously at all," the effeminate man said with a smile as he looked towards the woman in the blue dress in the distance, his eyes gleaming wickedly. "Don’t you have anything to say about it?"
Jiang Qiue looked at the effeminate man and then glanced at his lower body, a rare hint of disdain flashing in her ethereal eyes. She shook her head and turned back to her observation of the surroundings, searching for the whereabouts of the golden beads.
A burst of laughter erupted from the group of prodigies around them.
The effeminate man’s face immediately sank, and the veins on the back of his hand bulged.
This effeminate man, Jin Jili, was a genius sent by the Gold Sparrow Flower family. He severed his own lifeline by special means to reach the Venerable Realm, but doing so left him incomplete.
Jiang Qiue couldn’t be bothered to waste words with this shadowy figure, but she was indeed considering the possibility of conceding.
Five months ago, the strength she demonstrated to the public was at True Martial Realm 1. After returning from Witch Island, the level she revealed to the outside world was the True Martial Second Realm.
But in fact, her current strength was at the Venerate One Realm.
Back on Witch Island, when she had pursued Xia Feng, she severed one of her fox tails to unseal her strength to the True Martial Second Realm.
Now, she had cut off another fox tail to assist Xia Feng’s physical reconstruction, and as a result, her cultivation had further unsealed to the Venerate One Realm.
If she were to reveal her strength now, even if Olivia was at the Venerable Two Realm, she would most likely be unable to defeat Jiang Qiue, who was capable of killing beyond her own level.
After all, Qiue had already thoroughly understood Olivia’s entire hand, while Olivia knew nothing of her.
However, according to Jiang Qiue’s habits, she really didn’t want to fight in front of everyone and reveal all her cards.
This put her in a dilemma. If she didn’t win this duel, the Divine Relics within the Beiqiu Abyss would be completely out of reach.
"Boom—"
At that moment, Master Yusi was struck on the forehead by a palm from Russell and, ultimately unable to resist, was sent flying backward.
At the same time, Russell pulled back his longbow, and the arrow, carrying thunder and lightning, burst forth from the string straight toward the northern sky. The void crackled like shattered glass.
A golden bead fell from the void, landing not far from Olivia.
Olivia’s expression remained calm as she leisurely stepped forward.
Yet at that moment, to everyone’s surprise, a white light like a dragon’s shadow rose from the ground. Carrying a Rising Dragon Fist, it reached Olivia in the blink of an eye.
The fist surged straight towards Olivia’s jaw.
A murderous glint flashed in Olivia’s indifferent eyes, her lips curling up with a bloodthirsty smile. She hadn’t managed to kill this artificial life form before, and now it had come to her doorstep?
In the distance, Jiang Qiue’s beautiful eyes briefly tightened, her heart clenching.
Having instantaneous self-healing abilities didn’t mean being invincible. If Olivia really wanted to kill Xia Feng, it wouldn’t be hard!
For this reason, Qiue never counted on Xia Feng being able to help her in terms of combat strength.
"Return!" Just as Jiang Qiue was about to issue this command in her heart, the collective will of the bee swarm transmitted their analysis of the win-loss probabilities of this battle to her.
She couldn’t help but be taken aback.
