(Mount Xilean- Unnad Location)
(Forest Clearing)
Slash!
Xu Lu tilted her neck to the side and narrowly avoided the blunt edge of the wooden sword that was aid for her body.
The sword passed harmlessly above her left shoulder, but the Sect Leader quickly flicked his weapon sideways to catch Xu Lu off guard.
The saintess ducked down and then used a movent technique to vanish from the spot and reappear right behind the elderly man.
She retaliated by bending her knees and thrusting her blade forward right into the back of the elderly man standing in front of her.
The sect leader blocked the attack with ease and then proceeded to disappear. Xu Lu narrowed her eyes and spread out her spiritual senses.
Where was he?
Behind!
Xu Lu rolled forward ungracefully just as the wooden blade was about to hit her in the middle of her back.
Dust, pieces of grass and mud stained her white robes, but she did not seem to care. The saintess quickly stood up and held out her sword in a defensive posture.
"Good reflexes, very impressive basic combat skills… hmm… but you are missing one key elent," the Sect Leader quietly whispered.
"You need to use cultivation techniques."
He stepped forward and the ground beneath his feet rippled.
Power crackled all around him and Xu Lu felt as though an invisible weight was dragging her body down.
Her movents were now sluggish and slow.
Domain Attack- Heavenly Reversal!
BOOM!
Xu Lu found herself frozen in place as all the colour drained away from the nearby surroundings.
The birds trapped inside this strange world were locked in place in the sky with their wings still in mid flap.
Everything was now black and white.
Xu Lu struggled to move even a single inch of her body because it was like she was now a puppet subject to the whims of the Sect Leader.
Move! Move!
The elderly man leisurely approached her with an expression of ease like he had all the ti in the world.
He did not seem to be affected by the peculiar zone.
Xu Lu growled in frustration as the Sect Leader ca closer and closer. She didn't want to lose… she couldn't lose… this wasn't… right…
The saintess closed her eyes as she felt a surge of power ripple through her body. There was a power lurking inside her soul that responded to her cries.
It hungered… it wanted to be unleashed…
Xu Lu reopened her eyes which now shone with a golden luster. The symbol of crosses appeared in her eyes where her pupils should have been.
The Sect Leader noticed the change and his footsteps slowed down as he slowly tilted his head to exam the saintess' strange ability.
Xu Lu growled as she saw multiple golden threads extend outwards from her body and shoot off towards unknown location.
There were not hundreds but rather thousands of these threads.
She lightly touched one using her index finger and saw the image of an arrogant young cultivator bullying one of the female servants.
His sins… murder… torture… assault…
Xu Lu's eyes narrowed as the image changed to a scene that she instinctively knew was several years ago.
The sa young cultivator used his sword to behead a humble farr in front of his terrified wife and children.
There was no reason for the slaughter. He simply viewed the mortal's life as worthless… no different from stepping on an ant…
Sinners… SINNERS!
Xu Lu ran towards the Sect Leader, and the sticky weight attached to her body disappeared. She slashed forward with her blade and a golden aura coated her weapon.
The Sect Leader moved to the side but to his surprise the blade followed his quick movents.
He then used a movent technique to try and create so space between them but the saintess followed him closely like a hunting dog as it tracked down its prey.
What kind of cultivation technique was that?
The Sect Leader had not felt that kind of energy before but assud that it was a rare cultivation technique or bloodline art.
He had no idea that he was facing the traces of divine power once gifted to a paladin called Claire.
Who went by another na…
The Angel Of Death.
Xu Lu growled as she felt her body beco faster and faster. She could feel sothing in the back of her spine wriggling furiously and begging to get out.
Wings… wings?
The saintess wasn't sure how she knew what the strange feeling was but sohow the knowledge entered her mind.
She saw herself flying through the air and hunting down nurous n and won wearing simple dieval clothing.
Frost-born Swordsmanship Style- The Unending Winter!
Xu Lu thrust her blade forward and the temperature around her body plumted. The grass beneath her feet shivered as frost crept up along their green bodies.
The saintess' breath turned into faint white wisps, and she could feel her spiritual qi lting and rging together with the foreign energy that was filling her veins.
The shadowy aura of a great white leviathan circled around the edge of her blade and the beast tossed back its head and roared.
SCREECH!
The roar was so loud that the ground itself beneath the saintess' feet shook and cracks began to appear as though an earthquake had occurred.
She launched the attack aid directly at the Sect Leader's neck.
The elderly man's eyes widened for the first ti as he subconsciously t the impressive attack with his full force.
BOOM!
A simple palm strike was all it took to destroy Xu Lu's mighty attack and the saintess flew backwards until she crashed against a nearby tree with a sickening thud.
She slid to the ground and passed out.
The Sect Leader rushed over and quickly placed two fingers on her neck to make sure that she was still breathing.
What? What was that?
The Sect Leader looked around the clearing and saw that it was now completely destroyed. Large pits and cracks ravaged the once smooth ground, and several trees were toppled over.
That last strike… he had used the force of a god stage cultivator.
He was still slightly holding back but… he was shocked that he had to resort to that level of power to stop an attack from a girl who was only in the qi tide stage.
She was truly impressive.
The Sect Leader frowned slightly as he saw bloodstains spread across the saintess' white robes. She was clearly injured and in need of dical assistance.
He rummaged around in his storage bag and pulled out a high-class healing pill. The thick dicinal scent of herbs slowly wafted upwards from the smooth round pill.
The Sect Leader approached the unconscious girl and tried to find an opening on the mask where her mouth would be.
Hmm… the mask only revealed her eyes.
The elderly man did not want to take off his junior sister's disciple's mask without her permission, but it was the only way to feed her the healing pill.
He stretched out his right hand and gently removed the mask. The saintess' true appearance was revealed as the silvery grey mask slid off her face.
"What?" the Sect Leader's voice trailed off in shock as he looked down at Xu Lu's face.
