Chapter 138 Battle in the Dense Forest
"If I don't teach you a lesson, you'll really think I'm a pushover?"
Upon seeing this, Cui Ying's eyes flickered slightly, but without saying a word, she made a hand seal with one hand, and seven or eight azure ice blades appeared in front of her.
"It's an ice blade!"
Seeing this scene from afar, Wan Niang's expression changed repeatedly.
At this moment, the gray-robed male cultivator, shrouded in layers of gray mist, let out a loud shout. With a flick of his arm, which was holding his long sword, a gray sword light slashed out diagonally, accompanied by a shrill and piercing howl, heading straight towards Cui Ying's location.
After the gray-robed man made his move, Wan Niang calmed down and pointed her palm-leaf fan in the direction of Cui Ying. Seven or eight wind blades shot out in front of her with a whooshing sound.
With a flick of her sleeve, Cui Ying unleashed seven or eight ice blades enveloping her in layers of icy air. Then, with a flick of her Yao Guang sword, she mercilessly unleashed a silver sword aura.
"bang bang"
In an instant, the wind blade and the ice blade collided in mid-air, but Wan Niang's wind blade was only flashed with a blue light before it was completely cut into pieces by the ice blade flying out from the other side.
The intact ice blade, its light dimmed slightly, paused briefly in mid-air before flashing past and striking Wan Niang.
"not good."
Wan Niang's expression changed, but fortunately she was also a veteran of many battles. She quickly waved the palm-leaf fan in front of her again, and a hurricane immediately rose into the air, engulfing the ice blade that was about to strike her.
"Boom boom"
At the same time, the gray blade light and the silver sword energy collided fiercely, immediately producing a muffled explosion that spread outwards in concentric circles, shearing away a thick layer of the surrounding ground.
"That brat is quite capable, hunting so many high-level demonic beasts. But unfortunately, she ran into your Grandpa Wu today. Even if you are a rare genius, you will still perish."
Seeing Cui Ying's strength, the gray-robed male cultivator was not annoyed but even more excited. He stomped one foot on the ground and, enveloped in gray mist, leaped into the air amidst the rolling air currents.
Upon witnessing this scene, Cui Ying immediately formed another hand seal, condensing seven or eight more ice blades, which instantly slashed towards the gray-robed male cultivator.
"Ding ding ding ding"
The gray-robed male cultivator wildly brandished his longsword, then grinned maliciously as he cleaved all the ice blades away. After a quick leap, he abruptly stopped seven or eight zhang away from Cui Ying, changed his grip on the longsword to hold it with both hands above his head, and rapidly chanted incantations.
In an instant, all the gray mist around him surged back and poured into the long sword, while the aura emanating from the gray-robed male cultivator became even stronger and more dangerous.
Seeing this, Wan Niang, who had just shattered the ice blade with a hurricane, did not launch another attack on Cui Ying. Instead, she reached for a white talisman at her waist and crushed it into powder. At the same time, she pointed her palm-leaf fan at the gray-robed male cultivator in mid-air.
A flash of white light appeared on the gray-robed male cultivator's body, and immediately wisps of white mist rose and swirled around his body.
"A dual cultivation technique?"
Upon seeing this, Cui Ying frowned slightly and decisively flicked her Yao Guang sword, unleashing another silver sword aura towards the opposite side, attempting to interrupt their spellcasting.
Just as she made her move, the ground beneath the gray-robed male cultivator split open, and two enormous scorpion claws shot out like lightning from the opening and closing scissors.
"Haha, you brat, prepare to die."
But the gray-robed male cultivator only let out a wild laugh, his body flashing with light as he split into three afterimages. The attacks of the silver sword energy and the golden scorpion completely missed their mark.
At the same time, the three illusory figures that the gray-robed male cultivator had created simultaneously raised their hands, and their long swords slashed one after another towards Cui Ying's head.
And Wan Niang's attack also reached Cui Ying. It was a white mist, which started as a small ball, but in an instant it became a huge, all-encompassing cloud, as if the whole world had become blurred, making people uneasy.
"Hmph, a trivial skill."
If an ordinary cultivator saw this, they would probably be either terrified or hastily try to retreat and avoid it.
However, Cui Ying's face flashed with murderous intent. With a delicate shout, she poured all her magical power into the Yao Guang Sword and suddenly took a step forward.
A burst of silver light flashed on the Yao Guang sword, and it slashed out with seven or eight silver-white sword energies at the gray mist in front of it.
Moreover, these silver sword energies were just a blur before they transformed into a rapidly spinning silver full moon, crashing violently into the white mist.
"Sizzle"
The silver moon crashed into the white mist, immediately unleashing a tearing, crisp sound, and swirling the mist into a huge vortex that frantically absorbed everything around it, causing the nearby vegetation to tremble.
At the same time, the space behind Cui Ying shifted slightly, and a blurry, ghostly figure instantly appeared. A flash of eerie light appeared, and a blade as thin as a cicada's wing silently sliced towards Cui Ying's neck.
"puff"
Cui Ying, however, had anticipated this. She twisted her body and turned her face back, and after a blurry motion, she flicked her finger at the opposite side.
A flash of black light appeared at his fingertips, and the Flowing Shadow Needle, which he had prepared beforehand, shot out immediately.
"what"
A shrill scream rang out, and the figure opposite him trembled, his long sword falling to the ground. He clutched his head, convulsing, and collapsed backward.
With a single gesture, Cui Ying sent the Flowing Shadow Needle flying from between the gray-robed male cultivator's eyebrows, transforming into a streak of light that flew into Cui Ying's sleeve.
At this moment, the white mist filling the sky was swept away by the full moon formed from the silver sword energy, and the scene outside the dense forest was revealed again.
"You dare kill my husband!"
Upon seeing the gray-robed male cultivator's corpse, Wan Niang immediately screamed, her face filled with disbelief and rage.
But when Cui Ying turned around and looked at her expressionlessly, Wan Niang was so frightened that she turned around abruptly and tried to escape on her cloud of light.
But at that moment, Cui Ying had already formed a hand seal, and with a few quick movements of her five fingers, a giant ice blade three feet long instantly condensed in front of her.
With a flick of his arm, the giant ice blade shot out, carrying a chilling aura.
Wan Niang felt a chill run down her spine. She was immediately shocked and angry, so she turned around abruptly and swung her palm-leaf fan backward, summoning a huge wind blade to block it.
"Click"
Unexpectedly, the enormous wind blade only held out for a moment before being cleaved in two by the giant ice blade, turning into specks of spiritual light and dissipating.
Before Wan Niang could react, the giant ice blade had already struck her shoulder.
"Don't kill me! Ah!"
With a scream, she lost her balance and fell from mid-air.
Although she was seriously injured, she did not die immediately. Instead, with her face covered in blood, she took out a talisman from her bosom and was about to crush it.
Just then, a golden thread shot out from the nearby ground, and after a sway, the golden scorpion's tail hook pierced through Wan Niang's head, killing her instantly.
After the golden scorpion pulled its stinger from Wan Niang's corpse, Cui Ying calmly walked over and bent down to pick up the talisman.
"It really is a teleportation talisman! Although it can only teleport you a few dozen feet at a time, it's enough to save your life in a real life-or-death situation."
Cui Ying only glanced at the talisman a few times before recognizing its function.
"quack"
Just as she put the teleportation talisman into her storage bag, the golden scorpion used its claws to pick up several items from the corpses of Wan Niang and her husband and bring them to her side.
