Chapter 97: Chapter 97: A Foundation Establishnt Cultivator? What a Coincidence, So Am I
「A short while ago.」
Outside Donglong Island.
Three streaks of Escape Light were locked in a chaotic battle above the sea.
Intense Magical Power fluctuations, accompanied by the spiritual pressure of the Foundation Establishnt Stage, spread in all directions.
This caused the countless rogue cultivators lurking in the waters, waiting like hyenas to profit from the chaos, to be struck with terror and utter dread!
"Run... Those are Foundation Establishnt cultivators!"
The battle between the three Foundation Establishnt cultivators was like a bomb dropped into a pond.
A large number of rogue cultivators scattered and fled in a panic!
...
SWISH!
The three streaks of Escape Light moved at incredible speed.
In the blink of an eye, they covered several miles.
"HUFF..." Luo Xiyin’s face was pale as she gasped for breath.
Over a dozen talismans circled her like swimming fish, providing her with enhancents.
But even so, she could not hold on for long while being pursued by two cultivators of the sa stage.
Her pure white gauze dress was stained red with blood.
The distance between them was constantly shrinking!
"Miss Luo, why are you in such a hurry to run away...?"
The red-robed female cultivator from the Qi Family chuckled lightly, her tone gentle.
But her thods were viciously cruel!
She was seen summoning a fire-patterned longsword, a Spiritual Artifact, which transford into a startling crimson rainbow as it shot toward Luo Xiyin!
"A Spiritual Artifact..."
Luo Xiyin’s expression changed slightly.
She flipped her sleeve and produced an azure talisman.
HUM!
Layers of azure water-light suddenly appeared, and from within, a vortex spanning several dozen ters materialized.
"A second-rank, low-grade talisman won’t stop my Golden Simurgh Sword!"
The red-robed woman shouted, and the radiance of the fire-patterned longsword surged!
PIERCE!
The Golden Simurgh Sword pierced through the vortex and struck Luo Xiyin’s Mana Shield.
"Urk..." The shield shattered. Luo Xiyin’s face instantly turned deathly pale, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
Her slender body fell toward the sea like a kite with a broken string!
"A perfect chance! Kill her!"
The eyes of the two Foundation Establishnt cultivators from the Qi Family lit up!
The male cultivator in green robes’ Escape Light surged as he rapidly closed in on Luo Xiyin. He summoned a green jade seal, pouring his Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt Magical Power into it.
"Die... wait a minute?"
The corner of the green-robed cultivator’s eye twitched violently.
He saw Luo Xiyin, who was falling toward the sea, her beautiful eyes focused as she took out a crystal-blue talisman!
HUM!
The talisman activated. Amidst a howling, cold wind, a crystal-blue longbow materialized!
Luo Xiyin, still falling, drew the bow and nocked an arrow, her expression focused.
Her skin, so pale it was bloodless, her long silver hair fluttering in the wind, paired with the translucent, crystal-blue longbow!
It made her already outstanding appearance seem even more vibrant and divine!
"A second-rank, high-grade talisman?!" the green-robed cultivator shrieked in terror, summoning his jade seal with all his might!
WHOOSH!
The ice arrow howled through the air!
The green jade seal shattered with a BOOM, and an icy mist exploded outward!
’Is he dead?’
Luo Xiyin stabilized herself, landing on the surface of the sea, her heart pounding with nervousness.
After obtaining the second-rank, high-grade talisman brush, she had finally achieved a breakthrough in her talisman crafting skill not long ago, managing to create a second-rank, high-grade talisman with her Early-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivation!
This was her only chance to turn the tables, a move she had calculated precisely. If even this failed...
However, as the icy mist dissipated, Luo Xiyin’s heart sank to the depths.
"Cough cough... Luo Xiyin, I really underestimated you..."
"I never expected that a re Early-stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator like you could reach the heights of second-rank, high-grade talisman crafting!"
"Cough cough..."
The green-robed cultivator coughed a few tis, blood spilling from his mouth and staining his clothes.
Generally, a cultivator’s skills in their arts are linked to their cultivation level, and often even lag behind it.
To have skills that match one’s cultivation level is already a sign of decent talent.
Soone like Luo Xiyin, who could beco a second-rank, mid-grade Talisman Master at an early-stage cultivation, is considered a talisman crafting genius.
And yet...
"An early-stage cultivator who is a second-rank, high-grade Talisman Master..."
"What a pity..."
"Today, you will surely die here!"
His gaze toward Luo Xiyin even held a trace of regret.
Then, the two Foundation Establishnt cultivators from the Qi Family remained vigilant, attacking Luo Xiyin from a distance with techniques and Spiritual Artifacts!
"Ngh..."
’Won’t you even give
the chance to take one of you down with ?’
She gave a bitter smile, raising her shield and struggling to hold on, squeezing out the last dregs of Magical Power in her body!
In the process, her Foundation Establishnt Dharma Body felt completely exhausted, on the verge of collapse...
Luo Xiyin’s eyes filled with despair.
At that mont, a realization flashed through her mind with absolute clarity.
’I’m going to die...’
And at this critical juncture, the emotion that arose in her mind was not fear, but...
So much regret.
Luo Xiyin lowered her eyes as countless scenes appeared before her.
The mories of her several decades of life flashed before her eyes like a revolving lantern.
’If I had gone out with my brother back then, maybe he wouldn’t have been killed by rogue cultivators...’
’If I had been more proactive after reaching Foundation Establishnt, coordinating the various branches of the family, maybe the family wouldn’t have declined...’
’But... at all those critical junctures.’
’I was a coward, hiding away in my cave abode, using talisman crafting to escape reality...’
’Even...’
Luo Xiyin bit her lower lip, resentnt welling up inside her.
The figure of Su Ye appeared in her mind’s eye.
’If I had been just a little more forward, if I hadn’t worried about Qing’e, I’m sure I would have gotten what I wanted by now...’
’Always so considerate of others, always so cautious, always unwilling to fight for what I want, just curling up in my cave abode in my so-called "pure cultivation"...’
A sob escaped her.
’Because of my caution, I... just how much have I missed out on?’
Endless regret flooded her heart.
Shimring tears welled up in Luo Xiyin’s eyes.
Vexation, regret, pain, and indignation at her own weakness!
’But... what’s the use of thinking about all this now?’
’I’m going to die soon, and the Luo Family will be destroyed because of it...’
’I’m really... a useless person...’
But...
Just then, Luo Xiyin’s expression suddenly changed.
’The Qi Family cultivators’ attacks have weakened?’
Moreover, she could sense a palpable frustration and rage coming from the two Qi Family cultivators.
She sent out her Divine Sense, sweeping it toward Donglong Island, and her eyes lit up.
’The Soul Gold is destroyed... Su Ye, the Ghostly Flood Dragon, my family’s second-rank spiritual ship?!’
...
「Back to the present!」
Su Ye looked up as a silver streak of Escape Light—Luo Xiyin—landed on the deck of the Ghostly Flood Dragon.
This Foundation Establishnt Ancestor of the Luo Family, a silver-haired beauty with an extraordinary air...
...was now pale as a sheet, her dress tattered, exuding a delicate fragility that inspired pity and affection.
Luo Xiyin swayed on her feet, about to collapse.
Su Ye flickered and caught her.
His fingers unintentionally brushed against Luo Xiyin’s exposed skin.
The silky feeling made Su Ye’s heart skip a beat.
"Ngh... Su Ye..."
"Activate the second-rank Array... Just hold on for a little while, and I’ll recover soon..."
Luo Xiyin said breathlessly, her beautiful face slightly flushed.
"You’ve already done more than enough. The rest... just leave it to ," Su Ye reassured her in a low voice.
"Huh?" Luo Xiyin’s eyes showed her confusion.
"Wait... your aura?" she said, suddenly startled.
And at that mont, high above the Ghostly Flood Dragon!
Two streaks of Escape Light shot over, revealing the figures of the Qi Family’s Foundation Establishnt cultivators!
The green-robed cultivator’s face was grim. "A second-rank spiritual ship... and it destroyed the Soul Gold..."
"But... if you think this is enough to fight against Foundation Establishnt cultivators, you are sorely mistaken!"
Hearing this, Su Ye smiled, a brilliant smile.
He rose into the air without a shred of fear and t the gazes of the two Qi Family cultivators!
A vast and mighty pressure emanated from him, canceling out the pressure from the two Qi Family cultivators!
"You..."
The green-robed cultivator’s expression changed drastically in an instant.
"Foundation Establishnt cultivator? What a coincidence. So am I!"
