Chapter 305: This Sword is Born for Death (3.5k)
The crowds around the crimson pillar of light, after Su Jiu was repelled, the leaders of those factions showed disappointment and exchanged glances. They had thought that Dragon Country’s support had truly arrived, but they were instantly repelled by that man-eating bishop. It truly poured a bucket of cold water on their hearts.
“The person who came is no match for that Black-clad Bishop. What is the Dragon Country government doing? Knowing it was the Black-clad Bishop, why did they send a War General Level to greet us?”
Seeing Su Jiu get repelled, Chen Ze, who had been wanting to protect the Dragon Egg, suddenly had a look of despair on his face. He thought he was saved, but the situation had not changed.
“Tsk, even the top students from the Imperial Capital are like this when they’re captured, belittling others! It’s good enough that someone came to save us.”
Beside him, Xiangzi, who was also tied up, heard his voice, retracted her gaze, and looked at his face. She immediately mocked him, saying, “Tsk, it’s good enough someone came to save us.”
Chen Ze’s face felt strained after being mocked by Xiangzi. He immediately snorted coldly and said lightly, “Heh, if it weren’t for you, you damned woman, trapping us, how would we have ended up like this?”
“Instead of arguing with me about irrelevant matters, it’s better to place your hope on this person who broke in… However, this person does resemble that Mysterious Merchant.” Xiangzi smiled carelessly at Chen Ze’s insults, then shifted her gaze to the center of the field, her eyes filled with doubt.
Facing the battle between Su Jiu and Pamela, the civilians who didn’t understand cultivation could only watch anxiously. The officials were their greatest hope. If the officials were useless, they could only wait to die.
“Your face is quite nice… Since you don’t want to join the Holy Church, let me live in the Holy Church using your face.”
Pamela gazed at Su Jiu’s face, licked the other half of her face that was still intact with her tongue, rolled up a piece of flesh-like substance, and put it into her mouth to chew. Her words carried a hint of coldness.
“Heh, Bishop, you don’t think I’m alone, do you? Look behind you. Those two have already finished their fight and are watching you.”
Su Jiu’s expression gradually returned to calm as she looked at the Middle-aged Man with Moustache and Jiu Yun, who were confronting each other in the distance. She smiled calmly, her grip on her long sword tightening. After a moment, she took a step forward, and greyish-white began to dye her green silk hair.
Where her foot landed, water splashed. Surging external qi, mixed with some crimson flames, erupted from Su Jiu’s body.
She needed to draw the two fighting individuals into the battle to stall for enough time to await reinforcements.
“Heh, even if you all add up, you won’t be my opponent. Those two have no energy left. You will be my first spoils of war.” Pamela glanced at the two figures in the sky who seemed to have stopped fighting. Her smile remained bright as she gently stroked her ice blade.
As if to prove her words, she suddenly opened her mouth wide, pushed off the ground, and turned to drag her ice blade towards Su Jiu.
“Heh heh, little beauty, I’m here now…”
Under everyone’s gaze, Pamela, like a frenzied monster, dragged her ice blade along the ground, leaving a long trail of sparks and deep marks on the asphalt road.
“What are you two still standing around for? Moustache, your little Miss is still tied up there. What are you waiting for? Lord Jiu, please lend me a hand. The Dragon Country government will surely reward you handsomely!”
Seeing Pamela’s attacking figure, Su Jiu shouted loudly, then let out a long sigh. A dark golden mask gradually appeared on her fair chin, and crimson flames flickered in her blood-red eyes. The external qi on her body also became much deeper.
Facing Su Jiu’s outburst, both hesitated. The Middle-aged Man with Moustache glanced at Xiangzi, who was tied up, his eyes filled with indecision. The Jiu Yun not far from him looked at him cautiously, after all, the Middle-aged Man with Moustache was the one who wanted to make the first move.
While they hesitated, the pressure Su Jiu faced was no less than a mountain.
“I can’t take this head-on! Their strength has definitely reached the High-Rank Battle King level. If I take it head-on, I might be blown away.”
When Pamela was within five meters of her, Su Jiu’s eyes narrowed. She stomped on the ground, and her body shot into the air. Her body flickered, and in an instant, she crossed paths with the charging, frenzied figure.
At the moment of crossing, Su Jiu’s gaze inadvertently swept over the unprotected formation. Her long sword naturally swung horizontally. Taking advantage of the ease of her draw, several scorching slashes left her sword and cut towards Pamela’s body.
She needed to destroy the formation first. If the formation was activated first, those trapped would be drained by the formation, and they would also be crushed by the summoned divine and demonic phantoms.
“Is this all you’ve got? Wearing Crow Feather Attire, is this all your strength?”
With a dismissive cold snort, the scorching slashes suddenly stopped. The giant ice blade heavily slammed sideways. With a clanging sound and some small sparks, the crimson flame slashes were unable to effectively block Pamela’s charge.
“The face is mine!”
After blocking the slashes, Pamela, with her jagged mouth opened wide, twisted around and looked at the black figure who had flashed past. She swung her arm, and the giant ice blade, carrying fierce cold air, slashed horizontally at Su Jiu.
The intense pressure of the cold air made the Crow Feather Attire on Su Jiu’s shoulders flutter wildly. In the rainy night, the Shiyu Order pinned to her chest turned a frightening red, and even some phantom crow feathers fluttered down.
At this moment, an indescribable power surged into Su Jiu’s arm, causing the veins on her fair arm to bulge. wisps of black mist rose from the armguard, and Su Jiu felt her own power increase by at least ten percent.
It was the Alchemical Items – the Crow Feather Attire and the Shiyu Order exerting their effects:
Evil Suppression!
“What are you two still standing around for?! Aren’t you going to attack together?!”
Sensing the chilling killing intent from behind, Su Jiu’s brow furrowed. She shouted at the two still hesitating individuals again. Then, the long sword in her hand thrust out fiercely. The crimson flame sword left a crimson arc in the void, causing the air to emit a scorched smell.
On the sharp sword tip was a small phantom crescent moon. It seemed to pierce through the air resistance, and with a crisp “ding,” the crimson flame sword tip fiercely stabbed into the ice blade, instantly erupting with a huge white mist shockwave.
The leaders of the trapped factions below, seeing this, suddenly trembled. Even Chen Ze of Imperial Capital University couldn’t help but gasp. That Black-clothed Girl was not at the War General Level, but at least at the Battle King Level. There was still hope for rescue…
But Xiangzi quickly poured cold water on him. She looked at the flags uneasily, and said with some panic, “The formation seems to be activating. We’re all going to die here.”
Even with various buffs, Su Jiu could only stomp her feet back, using the momentum to create distance. After retreating several steps, she watched as the giant ice blade heavily slammed down, smashing the asphalt road into a several-meter-wide fissure. The fissure spread out in a spiderweb pattern, and countless ice shards flew out, showing immense power.
While the Middle-aged Man with Moustache hesitated, Xiangzi, who was trapped in the formation, also shouted towards them, “Second Uncle, you should ally with these Dragon Country people first, otherwise the formation will be activated.”
The Middle-aged Man with Moustache looked at Su Jiu, who was being chased and hacked by Pamela. He gritted his teeth. He recognized this Mysterious Merchant who had tricked them.
But now, he could only join forces to fight Pamela, otherwise, if his niece died, he would have no way to explain it to his elder brother.
“Idiot! You come with me!”
The Middle-aged Man with Moustache roared at Lord Jiu, waved his Long Sword, and a lightning blade energy about ten feet long shot out from his blade. It then resembled a silver-white giant python, slashing through the sky and shooting towards Pamela.
“Hmph! Overestimating yourself.”
Seeing the Middle-aged Man with Moustache make a move, Pamela snorted coldly, casually raised her ice blade, and then swung it fiercely. A cold blade energy met it, and with a deafening roar, they both annihilated each other.
“Miss Su, please quickly break that formation.” As the Middle-aged Man with Moustache made his move, Jiu Yun’s figure also moved fiercely, and then a scorching punch was fiercely thrown out.
“With you, you’re too overestimating yourself!”
Pamela lowered her head, revealing a strange smile. Then she raised her fair small fist. The powerful winds met in the sky, and a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded. Fierce storms swept across the sky, as if evaporating the water in the puddles.
Seeing that Pamela was temporarily blocked, Su Jiu glanced at the flags, which were only ten meters away from her. Her eyes narrowed, and she quickly swung out several more Draw Slashes. The slashes instantly shattered the ice frost shield on the outer shell and hit the flags inside, making clear metal collision sounds.
Easily suppressing the two who had little energy left, Pamela twisted her head at an odd angle and looked at Su Jiu. A hint of anger truly appeared in her eyes at this moment. She forcefully repelled Jiu Yun and the other two.
How dare she ruin her blood sacrifice ritual, she really deserved to die.
“These are all Alchemical Array flags. Aside from the eye of the flag, they are basically extremely tough.”
Only faint scratches appeared on the flags. Su Jiu was slightly stunned, and quickly understood. Her gaze fell on the black flag in the center, which was wrapped by many flags.
“Whoosh!”
“They can’t hold on much longer.”
Glancing at Jiu Yun and the other two who had been repelled, Su Jiu shot towards the flag. The sun-covering moon on her crimson flame sword was uneven, pointing directly at the black flag.
But Su Jiu had underestimated the strength of a High-Rank Battle King. When she was still one meter away from the flag, a peculiar aura appeared before her.
“Don’t forget, I can touch a little bit of Rule power.”
A frosty circle rippled out, and Pamela suddenly appeared, with a disdainful expression. With a “whoosh,” a breaking-wind sound, she “clang”ed Su Jiu away.
Watching her opponent continuously stomping backward, Pamela looked up, trying to find despair on her face. But she quickly found that the corner of her mouth was slightly upturned, as if her goal had been achieved.
“Why is she smiling?”
Pamela touched the sword wound on her face that had been inexplicably injured. She thought to herself that something was wrong, and looked at the black flag. She suddenly realized that it had been cut down at some unknown time.
The next moment, the pillar of blood that shot into the sky seemed to short-circuit. It flickered a few times, suddenly dissipated, and the formation that suppressed the various factions shattered like glass fragments with a “bang!”
String Moon Swordsmanship, the string moon takes the pursuit of the moon through dark clouds as its guidance, one sword hiding another.
It seemed like she was blocked, but in reality, Su Jiu had done it intentionally.
Only by facing death head-on could she break the formation with another sword.
