Chapter 421
Battle against seven palace realm experts (2)
Sect Master Zhao Ju seed to have anticipated Yang Qing's attack as she imdiately intercepted Yang Qing's white lightning-flad bamboo that was swinging downwards toward Fu Ning, who seed frozen from the sudden attack before she hurriedly stepped back a fair distance as she took out a white saber with a unique design that made it seem it was an arrow in saber form. It seed to have been designed with the extre purpose of enhancing its piercing abilities.
Sect Master Zhao Ju gritted her teeth in pain as she forcefully endured the extre burning sensation that she got as soon as her blade made contact with Yang Qing's bamboo which was cladded with white lightning flas.
The mont she clashed with Yang Qing, those flas would instantly latch onto her blade and speedily crawl into her hands as if they had a life of their own.
And it wasn't just the hands, any flas floating in the air from the clash would instantly ho in on the body part closest to them, which was why her face ended up getting the sa amount of burn marks the sa as her hands.
The flas ate away at her body and qi imdiately upon contact, and even seed to be eating away at the qi and Dao in her attacks, which reduced the venom in her attacks by a couple of levels by the ti it reached Yang Qing.
She found herself in doubt if Yang Qing was really a first-stage palace realm expert, and when her eyes wandered to the remaining mbers of the Order who seed to be observing the Wisteria tree, she felt a wave of despair wash over her.
"You can't afford to be distracted here, now can you?"
Yang Qing's ominous voice sounded as he rapidly launched another attack when Zhao Ju was montarily distracted.
Zhao Ju quickly reacted and hurriedly used her blade to deflect another swing of Yang Qing's bamboo-flad attack, but in her haste her swing revealed a flaw which Yang Qing capitalized by nimbly twisting his wrist, evading her blade, launching the attack at her undefended left side torso.
Before the attack could connect, a crystal blue fan and two silver-white tusk-shaped daggers appeared in direct collision with Yang Qing's attack, intercepting it before it could strike sect master Zhao Ju.
Blazing white flas with crackling lightning and mist were produced when the three weapons collided.
The white flas mushrood with an overbearingness as it aid to swallow the three weapons.
Boom!
An explosion sounded as three figures were imdiately flung back.
"Thank you, i, Liqiu.." said Sect Master Zhao Ju as she addressed the two elders next to her who didn't seem to be in good shape after that clash.
Both of them looked to be in extre pain as one of them let out a muffled scream as she tried to use her qi to heal her hands, but every ti she did, it would be swallowed by the finger-size white fla that was eating away at her hand.
The blue fan in her other hand seed to be charred halfway with flashes of lightning still passing through it.
As for the other elder, it was Guo i whose sleeves had been charred to her elbows with charred and blood-soaked hands.
She gritted her teeth in an effort to keep the pain at bay, but it didn't seem to work as the two tusk-shaped daggers in her hands could be seen shaking due to her trembling hands.
As for Sect Master Zhao Ju, though she managed to escape the brunt of Yang Qing's attack, thanks to the intervention of the two elders, she was still injured as the two elders couldn't deflect the attack completely. A bit of it managed to bypass them and burn the sect master at her side.
However they didn't have ti to address their injuries, as they forcefully bore the pain and charged towards Yang Qing, who had taken their brief mont he had blasted them to charge at one of the elders, Qin Zhilan.
Elder Qin Zhilan wielded a golden whip with a black underside. It had hooked-like spikes in every segnt that had purple and white mist coming out of it, and at the end of the whip was a sharp dagger that looked just a nick of it was enough to slice through a mountain.
The skill with which she operated the whip made it seem like it was an extension of her body or sothing she grew with from birth. The whip would sotis be nimble and ripple with the fluidity like that of a tidal river flow, and at other tis it would be rigid, like a piece of frozen ice, sotis it would be fast, and other tis it would be slow.
It was constantly changing, and the transition was seamless.
Besides Sect Master Zhao Ju and Guo i, Qin Zhilan had one of the highest combat abilities among the elders, and given enough ti she would even surpass Guo i because of her raw talent. She had managed to master weapon intent through the whip, with her mastery growing over the years, but despite that, against Yang Qing, she seed like a complete novice.
None of her attacks landed as Yang Qing seed like a formless body made of nothing but flas as her whips passed through him, and with every miss he drew ever so closer to her which in turn made her attacks erratic and panicked.
Her whole fight with Yang Qing had taken a few seconds which wasn't enough ti for the elders next to her to render aid, especially with how erratic the attacks from Qin Zhilan got, they risked getting injured if they recklessly barged in, which left them at a predicant.
They either charge in and risk getting heavily injured by the whip made of monarch-grade materials and filled with poison that would put a first-stage palace realm expert down within thirty minutes if they were injured by it or wait for the opportune mont to step in, which ant leaving Qin Zhilan by herself, which was a massive risk in of itself as she would likely have been heavily injured by the ti they step in.
They were also hesitant because of the incinerating power that lingered within those white flas. Qin Zhilan's golden whip was already showing signs of being lted apart within that brief exchange.
Luckily for them, they were spared the choice when they saw their sect master swiftly charging over. Following her lead, they made it just in ti to save Qin Zhilan from being burned half way through, though the hand holding the whip had been dismbered and burned in the process.
