William's face changed as soon as he saw Miller's weapon.
He could tell that his weapon was clearly inferior to the one the dwarf was holding.
"What is this? A soul weapon?" William asked, his interest very much piqued. "Aren't you guys a bit too generous?"
"He He He! Giving me one treasure after another!"
Tang Yue's eyes widened. This man knew about soul weapons?
But clearly, he didn't know too much because he had mistaken Miller's spirit weapon for a more powerful soul weapon.
The dwarf, however, didn't bother clarifying his error.
KABOOM!
He grunted and sent out several dark blood-colored sword beams.
Tang Yue had no idea what sort of attack that was but she didn't plan on simply standing around and watching the fight.
She might not be capable enough to pose any real threat to William but she was surely powerful enough to make him uncomfortable and lose focus, even if it was a little bit.
And something like that could easily turn the tides in a life or death battle.
Tang Yue sucked in a huge breath of air as she started using her earthen core to scoop out big portions from the ground underneath.
She then lobbed these gigantic masses of earth at the human being, who was busily blocking Miller's sword attacks.
William only had to see these incoming projectiles from the corner of his eyes. He swatted it away like dealing with flies.
But Tang Yue was not disheartened.
She combined her fire elemental essence and used these rocks to make lava balls and sent them towards the human being again.
"What a persistent pest!" William took a moment to address her attack this time and summoned a bunch of soul wraiths to deal with her.
This small chance was enough for Miller to land a couple of attacks, sending William flying behind.
The dwarf grunted landing beside him with a huge thud, physically pummeling the man to the ground.
Tang Yue, meanwhile, was surrounded by soul wraiths and couldn't take an inch away from her spot.
She knew that these wraiths were mainly soul energy suckers and immediately enveloped herself in a which mana barrier.
She then cast the fire magic spell Flame Dragons and twirled her sword around, slashing at the wraiths left and right, using all of her agility and strength.
And as she was fighting with these intangible soul ghosts, a familiar voice sounded from behind her.
"Hello… My dearest sister." Tang Xi hissed as she slashed at Tang Yue as soon as she turned around.
Tang Yue froze momentarily but her mind spun. Suddenly everything clicked in her brain and she knew exactly what had happened.
This sister of hers was the one who had unleashed a mental attack on her during the blacksmith tournament!
And she was also probably the one who figured out her identity and spread it to everyone.
Tang Yue did not think twice and instantly flushed her mind with mana thereby activating her dormant mental strength.
"Heh. Aren't you a little too quick?" She hissed in her sinister tone and licked her sword, before hurling a sword slash at Tang Yue.
"Don't worry. I won't use any mental attacks. I prefer beating you this way. Fair and Square."
"You see… If I don't scratch out your eyes and peel your skin from head to toe, I really won't get that satisfaction."
"Aha Ha Ha Ha."
Hearing Tang Xi's psychotic laughter, Tang Yue's eyes turned grim.
She might not be able to land even a single attack on William, but that didn't mean she didn't have the ability to deal with Tang Xi.
"Bring it, sister." Tang Yue hissed back as she blocked Tang Xi's attack and simultaneously dealt with two of the soul wraiths at the same time.
"But how is this supposed to be fair and square? Aren't you just taking advantage of the situation like a parasite and stabbing me in the back?"
"Why do you hate me this much? I have never done anything to you."
Tang Xi spun around skillfully evading the attacks. "Bitch. Don't act pure now. There is no point in acting in front of me."
"I know your true face slut. You stole everything from me."
"I should have been the Queen consort. I should have been beside that man."
"I am more talented than you will ever be. Do you think you can simply overdose on elixirs and become powerful? Dream on."
"In front of my true power, you are nothing. I will cut your body into a million pieces and feed it to the dogs."
Tang Yue furrowed her brows. She couldn't even recognize the person in front of her anymore.
She seemed manic and irrational. She did not know what happened to her to make her this way.
But surely this was not the same Tang Xi who had been lording over her all her life.
However, she didn't have the time to care about that right now. Everyone had their own fate and destiny.
While some were forced into it, some brought it upon themselves.
Whatever happened to Tang Xi had nothing to do with her. She was not a saint to pity even her enemies.
Tang Yue clutched her sword and swung at the soul wraiths who were now clawing at her.
She then cast a small spell to mess with the earth around them and made Tang Xi lose her balance.
Little Plum then rained down hellfire on her, the woman's body sizzling with every drop of fire that hit her.
"What is this?" Tang Xi glared at the elemental in shock.
She couldn't believe her eyes that Tang Yue had something so powerful in her possession.
"Slut. Slut. Slut. Just how many treasures did you get from that man?"
"Why is it always you that gets the good things?"
"I am going to kill you today and take it all with me. You piece of trash."
Tang Yue smirked. "Shut up. You talk too much."
She leaped up from the ground, leaving behind the four wraiths that were chewing on her mana barrier.
