Volume 5, Chapter 111 - Lingering Fragrance

Translator: Yuki

Matching an opponent’s sword power didn’t mean one could attain victory. If people only relied on their sword slashes to win, then perhaps Lily’s chance of victory would be higher.

But Shenzu had many years of experience, and a multitude of secret methods, coupled with her physique advantage, once she found a way to subdue Lily, she would only mercilessly attack.

Even if she wore a celestial maiden garment, could it withstand the attack of a throne realm powerhouse? Even the attacks of a just promoted throne realm were extremely scary!

Shenzu’s swords came slashing down! Lily could only forcibly swing to counter, if she simply blocked, the results would only be more miserable.

An eye-catching red orchid aura flared out. Lily was smashed down into the ground from the impact.

BAM——!

The ground cratered around her form.

“Cough——” She couldn’t control herself as she coughed out blood.

It was as if her body had been shattered, she could only feel numbness.

Shenzu was merciless, as she descended she once again released a multitude of phantom blue ghost faced silent flames. Sending them flying down at Lily, their bloody fanged jaws open, ready to swallow Lily.

Such terrifying silent flame, Lily dared not release her Shikigami and it was too late for her to release the Record of One Hundred Demons.

Numbed all over, Lily could not move, but resentment poured from her blade forming her demon hound, though it couldn’t stop the silent flames, it bit down on her clothes and threw her away.

Boom boom boom—— Silent flames erupted in the pit forming a blue roaring furnace, once again eradicating the demon hound, but allowing Lily to avoid the disaster.

Lily gradually recovered her sense of feeling, stabbing her sword into the ground, she forcibly stood up, sweat flowed down her body like rain as she gasped for air.

“What’s the use of your struggling?” Shenzu coldly taunted. FOlloow newest stories at no(v)el/bi/n(.)com

With a burst of speed, Shenzu sped toward Lily and slashed toward her legs, and as injured as she was, Lily no longer had the reaction speed or power.

Lily forcibly brought up her blade to block, but she had lost too much strength, the impact sent her blade staggering.

Shenzu was full of strength, her other blade came crashing down at Lily’s shoulder. Placing her blade on her shoulder, Lily forcibly blocked. With a crash, Lily was sent down on one knee.

Spinning around, Shenzu kicked out, sending Lily flying. This kick was heavy and landed directly on her chest. She flew several several dozen meters before crashing heavily into the ground.

Shenzu’s eyes flashed with cruelty, Lily knew too many secrets, and her talent was too high, she had to die!

“Kagami Lily, you’re talented, but you’re not very smart! They say geniuses are too conceited, you actually thought you could challenge me, a throne powerhouse! Today, you will die here!”

Shenzu jumped high, her swords dancing alternatively, forming a blue trident shaped silent flame. This was another of Shenzu’s killing moves, in terms of power, it was much higher than Flying Ghost Sulfur!

That cross bladed trident flew at her like a death sentence, speedy and overwhelmingly powerful, its surrounding air ignited, forming a sky high pillar of fire slashing down at her.

Clink! On the moment of contact, Lily’s katana softly redirected into a stab, piercing towards Shenzu! Seeing Lily’s katana stab toward her spirit palace, Shenzu tripped back in fright!

“Kagami Lily!” Shenzu was furious, if she had been just a bit more carless, she would have really been stabbed! “You cheap despicable woman!”

“You think you have the right to call others despicable!?” Lily relentlessly chased after Shenzu with a flurry of wild blows.

Lily’s physical resistance was far inferior to Shenzu and it was difficult to deal with her long range Flying Ghost Sulfur. However, Lily’s close range reflexes were faster, and her pure attack power was not weaker, add in that her Spirit Power reserves and Soul Power reserve as a blade maiden would be no less than Shenzu’s, so Lily attacked, she continuously attacked. The best defense in this case was an unending offense.

Shenzu could also tell what Lily intended, though she wanted to counterattack, Lily’s flurry was like an unending storm. Shenzu could only continuously parry.

Shenzu gave up the pride and arrogance of victory through the sword and burst into a speedy retreat, once she created a distance she sent multiple Flying Ghost Sulfurs at Lily, the multitude of ghost horse face silent flames converged on Lily.

Lily’s eyes flashed with determination, instead of dodging, she dashed with full power after Shenzu, her katana slashing down. Being forced to block, Shenzu could see the pillars of silent flame flying at the two of them.

“What!??” Shocked, Shenzu cried, “Kagami Lily, are you insane? Your defense is inferior, even if you want to perish together, the only one who’ll die is you!”

“That so?” In Lily’s frenzied words, there was a hint of charm, “Let’s test it out shall we?”

“You, you...lunatic! Then die!” Shenzu’s eyes also filled with madness and pushed back against Lily’s katana with her strength, but because she was distracted with manipulating her Flying Ghost Sulfurs, she suffered a disadvantage.

“No way! This woman plans on dying? She wants to hurt me even if she dies?” Shenzu wavered and hesitated.

In that moment of hesitation, Lily slid forward, her katana slid down under Shenzu’s twin swords. In an instant, Lily had slid between Shenzu’s legs.

“What!?”

Lying underneath Shenzu, Lily sent a kick flying from her back, punting Shenzu at the incoming silent flames!

Boom boom boom——!!! Countless silent flames exploded, sending both Lily and Shenzu flying.

Black smoke billowed from the vast wasteland. The smoke gradually cleared.

Shenzu, who had been previously uninjured, stood up, her clothes in tatters, covered in soot and injuries. She looked miserable and trembled in fury, her eyes smoldering in endless blue flames!

“Kagami Lily!!! I must dice you into ten thousand pieces!!!” Shenzu, a Throned General had been injured to this degree by a mere spirit jade. She was beyond infuriated.

Though Shenzu had suffered the majority of the harm, Lily’s physique was much weaker, she had been smashed into the ground and was covered in injuries, only by relying on the intense resentment could she stand up.

“Madam Yoruko...”

The image of Yoruko’s smile, seemed to appear before the blurry eyes of a weakened Lily.

“Madam Yoruko, I will definitely avenge you!”

“Avenge!?? Go accompany that bÌ2iÌ2tÌ2cÌ2hÌ2 Yoruko in yomi!! Ahahaha!” Shenzu’s face was twisted in pain and fury, she no longer hid her hideous appearance as her throne power surged in fury and rapidly dashed at Lily.

But Lily at this point, due to the pain and weakness, was blurred in between illusion and reality, it was difficult for her to hold her katana...
