Chapter 497: Caster
Jiang Jiui’s longsword was the Mysterious Mirror Sect’s ultimate treasure. It was carved with the light-mastery magic art’s rune, allowing her to release potent light-mastery magic art if she channeled her essential Qi.
The magic art would have unexpected wonderful effects if it was released at a half-spirit beast, but the scholar was an Almighty Being that could disintegrate its power by turning his hand. Needless to say, his power could not be compared to Extre Grade.
At the sa ti, the scholar extended his other hand to flick Ni Yinghong’s longsword.
He was sharp-eyed enough to be able to tell at one glance that Ni Yinghong’s martial art cultivation base was extrely low. Instead, he attached more importance to Jiang Jiui because she was in Extre Grade.
Nonetheless, the scholar’s heart tensed up just as his fingers were about to touch Ni Yinghong’s longsword; he sensed a threatening power. Without any hesitation, he swiftly withdrew his fingers channeled Qi to his eyes to release a fierce aura.
He wanted to crush Ni Yinghong with his forceful aura as soone who had surpassed Extre Grade, and he intended to frighten the lady, who dared to attack him and challenged his pride.
Even so, the scholar soon noticed that Ni Yinghong’s eyes lit up. The ntal power that he released did not affect her at all, and she continued to stab with her sword without stopping at all.
The scholar’s heart trembled as he sensed a strong backlash. His eyelids flickered as he used his imnse willpower to withstand the backlash.
Nevertheless, as he hesitated for a second, the chilly sword-light from Ni Yinghong’s sword penetrated his body.
Following that, the scholar’s body quivered, and he imdiately shifted his attention to Ni Yinghong. It was then when he realized that even though the lady’s martial art boundary was not worth ntioning, her ntal power was so notable that he considered himself inferior.
The chillness that struck him was a skill contained in the longsword, but the skill’s power activated by Ni Yinghong through her mighty ntal power was far more powerful than that released by Jiang Jiui.
Being caught off guard, the scholar froze for a split second.
At the spur of the mont, Jiang Jiui, who was initially hiding behind Ni Yinghong and seed to be only releasing a skill, flashed to the front of the scholar. She wielded her longsword and rcilessly prodded it at the scholar’s throat.
She gathered all of her power for this attack, causing the sword-light to be fast and ruthless. At this point, she vividly portrayed her martial art cultivation base.
Jiang Jiui was so cold-blooded as though she bore a deep grudge against the scholar. Upon seeing this, Feng Yiyuan and the other spectators shivered in cold sweats.
The scholar scoffed as he was infuriated. Cultivators in the upper realm were separated into casters and warriors. Casters were powerhouses with remarkable ntal powers, allowing them to release various magic arts; warriors, as the na suggested, were powerhouses that cultivated their bodies and essential Qi to resist casters with their overbearing physical qualities.
He made a wrong judgnt earlier and realized that he was mistaken, but he could not break free from the awkward situation right away.
Seeing as the longsword was being poked at his throat, the nacing sword-light caused him to have goosebumps on his throat.
‘A magic tool—this young lady’s weapon isn’t only a piece of Skill Equipnt, but a magic tool!’
If his vital parts were directly stabbed by the magic tool, he dared not say that he could retreat unscathed.
During that crucial mont, the scholar’s energy, essence, and spirit as a powerhouse were increased to their peaks. Subsequently, his power was fully unleashed.
“Boom...”
A vigorous power suddenly burst out from his dantian. It was so tyrannical that he instantly broke free from every constraint.
He raised his arm and quickly pulled out a folding fan, which he placed vertically in front of him.
“Ding!”
Jiang Jiui’s longsword hit the folding fan, but her great magic tool could not slash the fan.
A magic tool—the folding fan was also a magic tool, and it was also a kind of Qin Weapon. In terms of value, it was certainly not inferior to Jiang Jiui’s longsword.
After the scholar blocked the attack, a faint chill arose from his heart, but he did not pay much attention to it because he thought he was only careless. However, just as the scholar moved his body and was about to lower himself to initiate an attack, Ni Yinghong reached out her slim hand and waved at him.
The airflow around him underwent an odd change at that instant as if tiny vortexes were ford. Each of them then transford into a wind blade in the blink of an eye, and the hundreds and thousands of wind blades zood toward the scholar with fearso whistles.
‘A caster!’
The scholar’s face changed, and he finally confird that he encountered a caster.
It was worth noting that casters were very rare even in the upper realm because there were far lesser beings gifted with ntal power as compared to those gifted with physiques. Besides, a successful ntal power cultivator would certainly be superior among those in the sa rank, hence cultivators were more popular than warriors.
Having said that, this was the lower realm, where the universe’s spiritual power was far from what could be found in the upper realm.
Over here, even if casters possessed great ntal powers, they could only release limited magic art powers and could not resist equal-ranked warriors. Therefore, there were rarely qualified casters in many of the lower realms.
Different cultivators were trained from different environnts—this statent was beyond doubt regardless of the place.
The scholar was troubled by a question.
‘How could soone cultivate ntal power to such a terrifying state in this world?’
As the scholar sensed the whistling wind blades, he flashed and launched continuous attacks with his folding fan. As such, he disintegrated the blades by either blocking or dodging them.
Despite that, Jiang Jiui charged forward again at this mont. The sword-light on her weapon flashed and carried an intense and striking light.
The scholar was taken aback. Jiang Jiui’s longsword was nothing much to him, but he was rather afraid of her light-mastery magic art. The light on her sword could be vaguely seen, but it was not released. It was similar to a ferocious beast that was ready for an attack, which would be a pain in the *ss if it pounced.
Upon seeing this, the scholar shifted his body while wielding his folding fan.
On the other hand, Ni Yinghong stood still and released an ice-mastery skill through her longsword. She also kept releasing the wind-mastery magic art she was skilled at with her other hand. As the two skills complented each other, the power that she released increased by a few tis.
Of course, if Ni Yinghong was the only one attacking, the scholar could get close to her to kill her even if he was injured. That said, Jiang Jiui was in front of her. The lady was fiery, but she had an extraordinary talent in combat. She maneuvered her longsword such that unbelievable effects were brought into play, and the light-master skill from the sword was especially distressing.
As both parties moved around in the small area, they beca entangled.
Far away, Feng Yiyuan and the others were stupefied because they did not expect this outco.
They imagined the scholar to cause a massacre as soon as he attacked, and that he was completely irresistible. Even if Ou Yangming could summon the spirit beasts outside the city, he would likely also be killed by the scholar first.
Who knew, Ou Yangming did not show up at all, but the young ladies were able to be well-matched against the scholar when they joined hands.
Feng Yiyuan and Xiao Hualing looked at each other anxiously.
‘When did this world beco so bewildering?’
Nonetheless, they did not know that Ni Yinghong’s ntal power was already increased to the world’s limit through Ou Yangming’s help. Moreover, as she rode the goshawk and comprehended the wind’s power, she gained a new understanding of the wind-mastery magic art.
Apart from that, the Skill Equipnt made using Wu Hanning’s ability as a sample, as well as the Mysterious Mirror Sects’ magic skill tool, increased Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiui’s strengths drastically.
The various factors were the exact reason the young ladies could fight the scholar without being badly defeated.
In spite of that, the powers from their pieces of equipnt were not cultivated by them, after all. During the start of their fight, the scholar played it safe and resolved their endless killing intents. Once he gained a firm foothold and beca familiar with the ladies’ tricks, he beca at ease.
Ni Yinghong’s wind-mastery magic art was unpredictable, but the ice-mastery magic art and Jiang Jiui’s light-mastery magic art were always the sa. As soon as the scholar grasped their patterns, he no longer feared them.
The scholar sneered after so ti and uttered, “Juniors, hand it over now!”
He shook his folding fan several tis and fended off Jiang Jiui’s longsword in a strange way. The young lady groaned and incited her sword’s light-mastery magic art at once, but the scholar was well-prepared, thus he opened his fan and blocked the magic art just like that. Afterward, the covering of the fan moved forward abruptly and hit the longsword with a sweeping force.
Jiang Jiui moaned and flew backward, and blood was seen flowing between her thumb and her index finger.
Seeing as the situation was unfavorable for them, Ni Yinghong released the Freeze Skill again.
However, the well-prepared scholar turned around smoothly and evaded the chillness in a bizarre and unimaginable way.
It was incredibly difficult to dodge a magic art’s attack through one’s speed and prediction, but Ni Yinghong was controlling a piece of Skill Equipnt and was not that familiar with the skill it contained. As a result, the scholar spotted the loophole and was able to avoid the attack.
Just as Ni Yinghong’s face changed, and she was about to release her wind-mastery spell, the scholar flashed and lunged at her.
He seized the timing so perfectly that even Jiang Jiui could not assist her because she was caught off guard too.
Ni Yinghong smiled bitterly. ‘It turns out that our combined power isn’t enough to resist a real powerhouse.’
She closed her eyes, but it was then when she heard a bark.
“Woof!”
