Chapter 6
The battle started and ended in an instant!
Xia Lihua had gone all out right at the beginning catching Di Xiang off guard and unprepared. Worse yet, Xia Lihua seemed to know a Divine Art that stops time!
The Nether race was caught off guard. Di Xiang was the strongest among them and was supposed to lead them in this invasion. Unfortunately, in a blink of an eye, he lost!
The first to react was Di Wei, he was focusing on the battle the entire time and saw what happened from beginning to end.Follow current novels at novelhall.com)
All of you get serious and attack! Senior Brother Di Xiang is in trouble! He screamed.
The Nether races expression turned serious. They split into two groups, one group rushed to assist Di Xiang while the other group attacked the Ancestors, unleashing their Divine Arts. The Ancestors immediately became disadvantaged and a few even died in the first wave of attacks. It also didnt help that they were fighting right above the ocean. It was obvious the Nether race was extremely proficient at water Divine Arts!
Xia Lihua spread her spiritual sense throughout the battlefield, allowing her to see everything. Seeing the deaths of their Ancestors, her killing intent rose. Looking at the frozen Di Xiang and sensing over four dozen of the Nether race making their way to her, she quickly made a decision. She flipped high into the air and vertically slashed her leg down at Di Xiang! From afar, it looked like a meteor shooting down from the heavens. From up close, as her leg dropped, the space rippled, the clouds split and the ocean parted into two huge walls of water.
The moment she hit Di Xiang, she felt resistance from the sphere of water that enveloped him. The kick sent Di Xiang flying into the ocean with a big splash and his life and death were unknown.
Xia Lihua no longer cared about him and turned towards the group approaching her. She slashed her legs hundreds of times in a blink of an eye, sending piercing wind blades flying at them. At this point, Everlasting Ascension had worn off, her aura dropped and a stinging pain attacked her body, yet it did not dampen her will to fight.
Following the wind blades, she waited for an opportunity. Her eyes suddenly turned sharp and her body flickered. She appeared behind a Nether race member who was careless for a split second and stabbed forward with her bare hand, piercing through his head.
Unfortunately, in this chaos, no one was free enough to appreciate her alluring body, that is except for one man who was relaxing in his chair.
Slash!
A sword beam imbued with black water caught her unaware as she fought and cut her in the back. She flashed and appeared a distance away. Swiftly checking her wound, she frowned. After fighting these people for so long she understood that the black water that they were wielding had qualities of death and decay. Her body's natural regenerative power was strong but it struggled to heal these injuries caused by the black water.
She channeled her Astral Essence onto her back to fight off the decay and only then did the wound slowly heal. Xia Lihua took a deep breath and exhaled. She glanced in the direction where the Ancestors were fighting. Seeing the stalemate, she relaxed.
Thanks to her bodys strong regenerative ability, the backlash from using Everlasting Ascension was now gone. She would use it again but her body may very well explode if she tried. Using it back to back in such a short period would increase the backlash on her body tenfold!
Maybe as a last resort. She thought.
Suddenly, she slapped her hands together with her fingers spread. She concentrated her Astral Essence and stimulated her blood.
Her fingernails grew longer, becoming something similar to claws. It looked like it was capable of slicing apart space. Silver scales grew from her skin, covering her arms first before continuing to spread. From her torn outfit, the silver scales could be seen covering all parts of her body. Finally, her neck, then her face. With her current appearance along with her long black hair and silver eyes, anyone would be in awe.
The Nether race chasing her stopped.
Their eyes turned serious and someone in the crowd muttered,
Dragonification.
