The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder

Chapter 97 - Phecda’s Power (I)



Chapter 97 – Phecda’s Power (I)

Everything happened in an instant…

Shui Yuner closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, the water-blue eyes were covered with white light, and a scarlet-red emerged in the abyss of the black pupils.

In those eyes, there is no emotion, no focus.

“… Little Yun?”

This is not Little Yun! This is definitely not Little Yun! Xue Qilin’s intuition roared.

Shui Yuner showed an inopportune bright smile, and her soft lips weaved out a word: “Liar.”

“Be careful!”

Shui Yuner’s voice and Ye Zhen’s shout entered Xue Qilin’s ears almost at the same time.

In the next moment, an impact struck Xue Qilin.

She was knocked away. Cutting a sorry figure, she rolled twice on the ground.

At the same time, a frightening sword ray streaked past her former location and boomed towards the distance. The power it contains is almost at the level of an all out strike of a Heaven Realm master.

Darn it! Absent-minded, Xue Qilin found that there are several disciples who still haven’t evacuated on the trajectory of the sword ray, and her chest tightened immediately.

The disciples facing imminent “death” revealed aghast in their eyes.

What do I do? Thunder Flame Dragon likely won’t make it in time. But if I use Flying Flames instead, the power won’t cut it… Xue Qilin’s thoughts revolved quickly.

Just as Xue Qilin was agonizing within, a strong wind lifter her sleeves.

Ye Zhen kicked off the ground with all his might, flew out close to the ground, and then blocked in front of the sword ray. He stabbed Heavenly Glimmer filled with true qi into the ground, and the ground made out of rock cracked instantly.

“Rise!”

Ye Zhen shouted and lifted part of the ground. A huge stone slab rose and formed a wall blocking in front of the ray of sword qi.

There was an explosion, and wisps of sword qi swapped around stone fragments shot in all directions.

Xue Qilin gritted her teeth and blocked her face with a sleeve.

It’s my fault! If I had been transparent from the beginning, things wouldn’t have deteriorated to such a degree! Xue Qilin really itches to punch herself.

She underestimated Shui Yuner’s desire for revenge as well as…

In her view, Xue Qilin only concealed the details of her identity and magic. It wasn’t deception. She didn’t expect Shui Yuner to be so sensitive, let alone so brooding.

Xue Qilin thought that her remedy afterwards would be enough to put Shui Yuner at ease, and eliminate the barrier between the two.

But everything in front of her is telling that she was wrong.

In the distance, Ye Zhen and Shui Yuner with Phecda in hand have locked in a close quarter combat, and countless sparks spurted.

The residual sword qi wrecked the ground continuously.

Ye Zhen’s swordsmanship is exquisite. Dazzling, chaotic sword rays surfaced and left one afterimage after another in the air

Faced with such a powerful, concentrated offensive, Shui Yuner only waved Phecda lightly. Each of her sword strikes are much clearer than Ye Zhen’s. In other words, she can’t swing a sword as fast as Ye Zhen.

In spite of this, Shui Yuner still sees through all of Ye Zhen’s movements and accurately neutralizes all threats.

This scene proves that Shui Yuner’s skill in swordsmanship is higher than Ye Zhen’s.

But is this possible? It hasn’t been long since Shui Yuner joined the temple, and she hasn’t even reached the Human Realm. Can she rival a Heaven Realm master who immersed himself in swordsmanship for decades in terms of swordsmanship? Impossible.

This strength far beyond Shui Yuner’s level is definitely provided by Phecda.

Phecda is manipulating Shui Yuner’s body to fight! Xue Qilin knows this without thinking.

However, it’s impossible to display the strength far beyond your limit without a price – physical strength, health, and even life.

Besides, what worries Xue Qilin even more is that Phecda will destroy Shui Yuner’s soul. Xue Qilin has no way to judge this. She can only hope that things won’t go too far.

When Shui Yuner and Ye Zhen passed each other again, a blood flower spattered.

“Ugh…!”

Ye Zhen whose arm was injured by Phecda groaned.

What am I doing? This isn’t the time to space out and waver! Xue Qilin roused and secretly scolded herself. Although she isn’t entirely at fault for this, but she has to shoulder a large part of the responsibility.

Moreover, she must also take responsibility for rescuing Shui Yuner from Phecda.

Little Yun is waiting for you, Xue Qilin! What are you doing spacing out here! The lass slapped her cheecks with both hands to clear her mind.

All she needs to think about and care about is “how to save Shui Yuner”.

“Wait for me, Little Yun! I’m going to save you at once!”

Xue Qilin made up her mind and got rid of the irrelevant thoughts.

“However…”

As her big sleeves were lifted by the wind, Xue Qilin’s eyes shimmering dimly brightened, and her exquisite lips opened and closed, spitting flame tongues.

The girl raised a corner of her mouth.

“Disobedient children have to be taught a lesson!”

In the next moment, she waved her big sleeve.

Along the trajectory of the edge of the sleeve slashing in the air, flame arrows appeared out of thin air.

“Flying Flames!”

Following the command, the flame arrows shot out.

Appearing to have discovered it beforehand, Ye Zhen flipped his body in the air and retreated through a gap between the flame arrows.

Facing the flame arrows that suddenly intruded into the battlefield, Shui Yuner’s smile deepened.

“You really want to kill me.”

As if slicing open the air, Shui Yuner lifted Phecda and slashed gently at the empty space in front of her..

Bang bang bang bang bang…

Along with successive explosive sounds, the flame arrows turned into specks of fire swirling in the air.

Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Zhen circled behind Shui Yuner and jabbed with his sword at the wrist of Shui Yuner’s hand holding the sword. Sensing it with her incredible intuition, she turned around and sent a kick. Ye Zhen pulled his sword to block the attack, yet he was still sent flying by the kick.

After repelling Ye Zhen, Shui Yuner kicked off the ground and rushed towards Xue Qilin.

“Too late!”

Xue Qilin has already completed the preparations.

Flames emerged around Xue Qilin, entangled into two flame streams, and formed a whirlpool of flames above the lass’s head.

“Thunder Flame Dragon…!”

The speed of the red lotus like whirlpool accelerated, and a dragon head emerged from its center.

“… No. 3!”

The flame dragon opened its mouth and fired three fireballs in a row.

Shui Yuner has no intention of evading. With a speed that eyes cannot keep up with, she slashed the fireballs in two. The fireballs cut in half disappeared with the wind.

However, Xue Qilin has expected this much.

“Thunder Flame Dragon No. 7!”

The dragon issued a silent roar, and then struggled to pull its body out of the whirlpool. The terrifying heat evaporated the moisture in the surroundings.

After turning in midair, it immediately bit at Shui Yuner rushing towards its master.

Even Ye Zhen can’t take this fierce attack lightly.

“A worm?”

Shui Yuner snorted, and Phecda in her hand glowed with dazzling light.

Then she tapped her foot lightly and slapped the flame dragon on the lower jaw with Phecda. This way, the trajectory of the dragon was changed, and it passed above the girl’s head.

This is what is known as a huge return for a small investment.

Xue Qilin watched the sword tip that touched her boundary effortlessly with an incredulous look in her eyes.

Having said that, Xue Qilin still reacted immediately and prevented the other party from advancing further. She waved Empyrean Universe to block the attack.

Ding! The sharp sound almost pierced the eardrums.

At the same time, a tremendous force erupted. Xue Qilin left two long skid marks on the ground, and then retreated by several steps.

What strange force! Xue Qilin was shocked.

At this time, Shui Yuner was already right in front of her eyes.

“Little Yun, wake up!”

Xue Qilin called urgently.

Shui Yuner moved close to Xue Qilin’s ear and exhaled a warm breath.

“I’m going to kill you.”

“Phecda, you…”

Without giving Xue Qilin the opportunity to speak, Shui Yuner sent a palm towards the other party’s shoulder.

Faced with danger, Xue Qilin humphed and prompted Empyrean Universe to change into the big shield – the Shield of Black Tortoise form. The sword blade expanded and blocked Shui Yuner’s palm in a flash.

A dull sound accompanied by an impact shook the petite lass and sent her flying.

A sense of imbalance gripped the lass.

Xue Qilin had just hurriedly adjusted her posture in the air, when the water-colored figure burst into her field of vision and chopped out with her sharp sword.

So fast! Xue Qilin’s eyes widened. Without enough time to place her sword in front of her, she could only use her domain to repel Phecda and finally resolve the fatal blow at the cost of a small gush on her arm.

However, Shui Yuner’s attack isn’t over yet.

“Go and die, will you?”

Shui Yuner seized this opportunity to circle behind Xue Qilin, and Phecda radiated dazzling light again.

“…!”

Dammit! Xue Qilin only had time to turn her head. Shui Yuner’s movement speed is too fast.

In the nick of time, a sword slashed before Shui Yuner’s eyes at an alarming speed. She immediately stepped back without hesitation.

“Apologies for disturbing your sophisticated interest.”

Ye Zhen blocked behind Xue Qilin and made a not particularly funny joke in a bland tone.

But the tense mood eased a little.

Xue Qilin quickly realized that Ye Zhen’s joke was an attempt to alleviate the pressure brought by the severe fight.

At the same time, this also serves to pacify the killing intent that emerged spontaneously during the fight.

“You saved me!”

Xue Qilin turned around, and then floated in the air side by side with Ye Zhen.

If Ye Zhen hadn’t arrived in time, she would have to suffer a lot.

“You want to use numbers to bully me?”

Shui Yuner tilted his head.

Then she smiled sweetly, at ease.

“Fine, I’ll just kill you both in one go and save time.”

“Little Zhen, my disciple boasts that she’ll fight the both of us at the same time. What do you think?”

Even though her forehead is drenched in cold sweat, but she still teased harmlessly.

“Spank her.”

Ye Zhen gave a brief answer.

Unexpectedly, Little Zhen is a little humorous. Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose.

“Little Yun, did you hear? You have been surrounded by Little Zhen and me. If you know what’s good for you, then drop the sword and surrender at once, and I’ll spank you a few less times!”

When the intensity of a fight breaks through to a certain threshold, it is inevitable that killing intent will arise.

In order to avoid this, Xue Qilin made a joke.

… Don’t let yourself sink into the impulse to kill.

She doesn’t want to hurt Shui Yuner anymore.

“You’re not just a liar, but an idiot as well.”

Shui Yuner chuckled and launched another attack.
