~cough~ cough~
Ye Jin coughed out a mouthful of blood. She felt like the wind had been knocked out of her lungs and her body ached to no end.
Her body told her to sleep and rest, but her brain shouted that she would die very quickly if she tried that.
"WAKE UP!" Thankfully, Wang Xiong's shout was enough to rouse her completely.
Her vision stabilized and she quickly ate a pill to start the recovery.
"This battle is not over yet," Wang Xiong said as he gazed at the Weasel beast.
~WOONG~
A serious expression appeared on Wang Xiong's face as he withdrew a Guan Dao from his spatial storage treasure.
This Guan Dao was different from the one he had used a long ti ago and was twice as thick. The spirit Qi fluctuations coming from it were also very strong, and it was easy to tell that it was at least a High Grade spirit weapon.
There were three tassels hanging off the back of the Guan Dao's blade having the three colors: Black, white and Grey.
Wang Xiong raised the Guan Dao and spun it in the air, leaving a train of three colors just the sa as the tassels.
With the circle created, Wang Xiong hooked his finger toward it and rotated it.
~Zing~
The circle started to spin on a flat axis first, but then Wang Xiong stomped his foot, making it spin on a vertical axis as well. In just a couple of seconds, Wang Xiong and Ye Jin disappeared as a blurry sphere appeared around them due to the spinning circle.
"Kill!" A screeching voice was heard.
Tim ran at great pace and slamd into the sphere head first.
~spark~
Like golden confetti, sparks shot out everywhere due to the collision. This ti, Wang Xiong was in a defensive situation and could not move at all. Ye Jin was still reeling in from the impact and looked at her companion with a concerned expression.
"Why is he attacking us? We didn't do anything! Why is senior punishing us?" Ye Jin asked feeling wronged.
"No!" Wang Xiong shouted in response, stunning Ye Jin.
She could see the fierce look in his eyes and knew that sothing was wrong.
"He isn't punishing us… he is protecting us." Wang Xiong replied.
"W-what? That's insane." Ye Jin said, finding it all absurd.
"I know what it seems like. But this is the best solution that could have been used." Wang Xiong said as he gathered more spirit Qi from his Dantian.
"What do you an? A solution for what?" Ye Jin questioned.
"A solution that would keep us safe and hide our link to Senior Lin Wu." Wang Xiong answered.
Upon hearing this, a thought ca into Ye Jin's mind. She found that thought to be very wrong and couldn't tell how it would be possible, but at the sa ti it seed the most logical answer too.
"We… we were followed, weren't we?" Ye Jin questioned.
"Yes… I don't know how we didn't sense them. But they tracked us down all the way here." Wang Xiong answered.
By this ti, Ye Jin understood what had happened and only felt frustrated.
"What do we do then?" Ye Jin asked.
"We have to push the weasel as far as possible. As long as he is far enough, he won't attack us." Wang Xiong replied.
"Alright! Do we do the sa thing as before?" Ye Jin asked.
"No… that won't work. I'll hold him off for as long as possible, you take that thing out." Wang Xiong replied.
Ye Jin's expression turned serious and she nodded her head. Wang Xiong put his focus on defending and supplying spirit Qi to the spinning ring while Ye Jin pulled out a small glass bottle.
The glass bottle was transparent, and in it a small piece of flesh was floating in fluid. It was hard to tell what thing the flesh belonged to or what the fluid was, but the number of runs that were carved into the bottle showed that whatever it must be, it was very volatile.
Such runes were carved to make a stabilizing formation that could restrain unstable materials.
Ye Jin held the bottle in both her hands and started pouring all her spirit Qi into it. The more spirit Qi that entered it, the more the runes glowed. After a few seconds, the runes reached a peak and the spirit Qi started to enter the fluid, and then the piece of flesh.
The flesh started to tremble and bulge.
~kacha~
At that mont, a single crack appeared on the glass bottle.
"It's ready!" Ye Jin hurriedly spoke.
"On my call!" Wang Xiong instructed.
"One… Two… NOW!" Wang Xiong yelled.
The ring that was spinning in the shape of a sphear expanded outwards with a surge of spirit Qi and pushed back Tim.
"GO!" Ye Jin threw the small glass bottle with all her strength and it flew toward Tim.
Wang Xiong too reacted quickly and slamd the Guan Dao into the ground, creating an ice do around them.
~shatter~
The glass bottle hit Tim on the head and broke apart.
~huu~
Then, like match eting a keg of gunpowder, the piece of flesh ignited!
~KABOOM!~
A massive explosion shook the area, directly burning away the trees and the grass.
"ARGH!" Wang Xiong grunted in strain as he did his best to maintain the ice do.
The rate at which he was supplying it spirit Qi and the rate at which it was lting was almost the sa, but it looked like he was faltering.
~SKREEE~
Tim seed to be injured as well and was sent flying like a rocket.
~thud~thud~thud~
His body broke through tens of trees at once before crashing into the ground.
But even then, he didn't stop and created a long gully in the ground. From this, one could tell just how much force was there in the explosion.
~shatter~
The ice do that was protecting Wang Xiong and Ye Jin broke apart as well when the spirit Qi ran out.
