— Chapter 296 —

“What a show-off.” Bai Xue commented while throwing up even more.

An intense heat was coming from Bai Xue’s skin, which she did by heating her spirit energy to evaporate alcohol inside her body.

Her vision was somewhat hazy because of the alcohol she drank last night.

“Blergh…”

“I shouldn’t have trusted that bitch.” Bai Xue whispered to herself.

A cannonball arrived above her face without a single notice and exploded violently.

BOOM!

“Is she dead?” A young woman in her early twenties scanned the area with her goggles.

She possessed silky black hair, keen blue eyes, and a slender build. Her height is no more than 170 cm, with refined muscle under her silver robe.

“Hmm?” She frowned a little.

The smoke cleared, and Bai Xue stood in her position with a flame barrier. It protected her from the cannonball.

“H-How?” Hong Mei couldn’t believe her eyes.

A seventh-class soul guidance tool, the homing-stealth shell failed to kill this red-haired girl.

Bai Xue wiped her mouth and gradually looked at the sky with her green eyes. A moment when she decided to run away from her home appeared for some reason.

“The sky back then also looked like this.” She commented while bringing her broom martial soul.

A supposed trash martial soul with no hope to become stronger.

It’s just an ordinary wooden broom with a sandy brown brush at the end of the shaft.

At a young age, everyone told Bai Xue that martial souls decided one’s future on becoming Spirit Master. However, reality hits her harder than others.

“Bai Xue, please understand… You’re the only daughter of our family.”

“We have decided to engage you with someone. You’ll accept, right?”

“For us?”

Since Bai Xue was small, she was known to be a genius and wise compared to other children. She could read a complex medical text without any problem at the age of five.

It’s not hard for Bai Xue to tell when everyone on her side has given up on her future. Well, they sold her off to survive in a dire situation, which was understandable.

However, why should she be one who got sacrificed for good?

There are a lot better things in Bai Family’s territory that could fetch a higher value than herself. It’s horribly simple because they don’t want to lose those valuable things.

“What a lie.” Bai Xue’s green eyes blazed with a wisp of golden flame.

Bai Xue is a formerly young lady with no value besides her innocent beauty. Yet, fate sure is generous for her.

A series of spirit rings appeared under Bai Xue’s legs and circled her body.

“What is that absurd configuration, all-black spirit rings?!” Hong Mei blinked her eyes in disbelief and witnessed Bai Xue’s transformation.

The seashore’s temperature suddenly rose to the notch, and bubbles began to rumble on the sea surface.

A crow cry echoed in the sky and painted the air with a searing golden flame.

“Don’t clench your teeth,” Bai Xue’s wicked green eyes set on Hong Mei. “Because I’ll destroy them to pieces.”

BOOM!

A brilliant flame exploded from Bai Xue’s body, covering her like a beautiful dress. A witch hat with a golden crow’s crown appeared on top of her head.

Bai Xue flicked her broom against the sea surface, and a spark appeared slightly, but it was enough to ignite the broom.

“Take this.” She raised the broom and threw it to Hong Mei.

Hong Mei’s eyes widened because the broom flew faster than her homing-stealth shell.

Bam!

Cough!

The broom struck Hong Mei’s stomach and caused her to choke on air. She tackled several meters away from her original position.

She cannot use her defensive guidance tool in time. It was too quick for her goggles to scan.

“This is painful…” Hong Mei used a stabilizer and floated above the water.

“I’ll get you this time-.”

BAM!

A fiery fist suddenly welcomed Hong Mei’s face and made her wash out of the seashore.

“I said don’t clench your teeth.” Bai Xue commented indifferently.

Nit! Nit! Nit!

Several items suddenly burst out of the sea, or more precisely, from one battleship Yunlong drowned a while ago.

Hong Mei stretched her hand and initiated a barrier to stop herself from backing down.

Nonetheless, Bai Xue obviously won’t let her take a breather.

A heavy strike smashed the barrier, but it wouldn’t budge because Hong Mei used the 8th-class defense barrier.

It’s developed solely to receive an attack from an old-fashion spirit master.

“You can’t attack me now, you barbarian!” Hong Mei spouted arrogantly.

A few drones surrounded them from all sides, aiming 8th class soul guidance cannons at Bai Xue.

“Fire!” Hong Mei shouted while activating her martial soul.

Bai Xue’s fourth spirit ring shone slightly, and when cannons attacked her, she had already disappeared from Hong Mei’s sight.

Ting! BOOM!

Since Bai Xue disappeared from the location, all cannonballs focused in one place, which caused them to explode at the same time and blow Hong Mei away.

Crack!

Hong Mei’s barrier cracked because of the explosion.

There are two types of people Bai Xue couldn’t read, an overly cautious or possibly clever person like her young master and Chu Xiaoyu.

“And an idiot like Yu Ning’er.”

“Unfortunately, you’re none of them.” Bai Xue stood on her broom.

“Buddha Lotus, Blaze.”

“When did this enter my-” Hong Mei looked at the small lotus flower inside her barrier.

BOOM!

Bai Xue pressed her leg and drove the broom down, noticing a presence inside the barrier.

Hong Mei’s whole body swiftly was wrapped by a thick layer of gold-like liquid. Her blue eyes radiated so much anger.

“Gold?” Bai Xue saw the cannons moving at her again. Yet, much faster this time.

Hong Mei finally showed her configuration, a set of eight black and one reddish spirit ring. An enormous three-legged golden toad materialized from thin air.

Three-Legged Golden Toad is a Beast-type Martial soul. This rare beast spirit is a Holy Spirit Beast, possessing a unique ability to manipulate metal.

It’s as versatile as Yunlong’s Golden-Thread Handkerchief in shape manipulation, but the Three-Legged Golden Toad terrifying is in its usage for Soul-Guidance Spirit Master.

The reason is simple, the Spirit Master with this martial soul could freely manipulate Soul-Guidance Weapons.

Hong Mei’s blue eyes flared with golden light. A few objects abruptly burst out of the sea, flying quickly to them.

“So you’re a title douluo, so I guess you’re a grandma behind those thick skins.” Bai Xue mocked while creating several Buddha lotuses.

She knew the incoming flying objects were from this woman’s ability, which meant she had to burn them away.

BOOM!

The buddha lotus exploded and destroyed the flying objects to pieces. Hong Mei wasn’t worried because Bai Xue made the job easier for her.

“Thank you, Barbarian.” Hong Mei clenched her fist, and golden particles floated in the air, forming thick metal orbs.

The drones merged with the metal orbs, forming a more powerful cannon with better firepower.

“Piercing Sunlight.”

“Die!” Hong Mei said coldly.

A high-powered beam projected from the cannon and expanded to a 1km wide range, destroying everything on its path.

SWOOSH! BOOOOOOOM!

Hong Mei’s cannon quickly was launched to the limit because she wanted to kill Bai Xue completely. She desired to extinguish this red-haired barbarian to nothing.

The sky is clear, but Hong Mei can see a small figure floating on a hovering broom.

“How unsightly, that appearance of yours.” She grinned at her.

Bai Xue’s clothes ripped apart, and her body was full of burn marks. The only thing left was the golden flame dress that barely covered her skin.

“I don’t know how you did it, but your weak Spirit King Realm’s strength won’t be able to defeat me.” Hong Mei created another enhanced golden-orb cannon.

Yes, Bai Xue was only a level 60 Spirit King. She possesses the lowest cultivation realm among Yunlong’s maids.

Chu Xiaoyu alone could easily overpower Bi Xue with her sword slashes. But, the quiet maid never stopped the red-haired maid from fighting Yu Ning’er.

It’s not because she wanted them to fight, but acknowledgment and understanding of their rivalry.

Bai Xue is a strong girl.

Chu Xiaoyu and other maids admitted they couldn’t fight Bai Xue for an excessive period. Her specialty is just overly annoying and hard to deal with, to the point they would give up.

Well, Yu Ning’er is a different case because her stamina seemed to be endless.

Still, Angry Bai Xue is a terrifying force.

Who would have thought a girl with barely any training to become Spirit Master could become such a monster.

.

“Oh, you want me to teach you Fire Style?” Uchiha Madara looked at the red-haired maid.

He was interested in her flame manipulation skill, which was rather complex compared to simply chakra manipulation in his previous life.

Nevertheless, Madara doesn’t see worth in teaching her. That’s what he thought until Bai Xue challenged him.

“I’ll create a flame with extreme temperature.” Bai Xue stood with a smile on her face. “The challenge is simple. I want to see whose flames could survive longer against each other.”

The Ghost of Uchiha is not shy from a little girl’s challenge, so he agrees casually. Yet, after only an hour, how wrong he was about this red-haired maid.

“I see… You’re definitely special.” Uchiha Madara raised his burned left arm.

He grinned like a madman and added, “I’ve never taken any disciple before, but those eyes… I liked it.”

Uchiha Madara trained Bai Xue for a few months and discovered her potential was higher than himself.

Fire Style is not really difficult. It’s just a process to mold one’s energy into desired technique, but what Bai Xue wanted was Madara’s fire style.

Bai Xue isn’t shy about stealing Madara’s fire style under his teaching. After all, what she needed were strength and not formality.

Hong Mei was about to launch another beam at Bai Xue but noticed something weird with this red-haired barbarian.

A spark of vicious green flame ignited from Bai Xue’s wounded body. It doesn’t end there because eight more flames appeared in the sky.

Bai Xue breathed in and waved hand signs, burning spirit energy inside her body.

“Fire Style: Empress’s Sun Flame.”

As the glowing star descended from the sky, a miniature golden sun with a nine-colored rainbow materialized behind Bai Xue’s body.

“Do you have your armor, grandma?” Bai Xue asked while looking down on Hong Mei.

“You might want to use it now, or your body would burn it into ashes.”

Hong Mei laughed and sneered, “What could you achieve with those flashy flames, make me tan?”

“Very well, I’ll show you the difference between our power.”

She picked a device from her spatial storage and injected it into her chest, causing a faint layer of golden liquid to cover her body.

It’s different from Hong Mei’s raw golden particles because these golden liquids are custom-made armor compatible with her martial soul.

Her armor is made of different types of precious metal from Sun and Moon’s Continent, giving her a tremendous boost in power.

The golden liquid hardens and becomes a valkyrie-like armor with beautiful golden butterfly wings on the back.

At the top of Sea God Mountain, Yunlong watched Bai Xue’s fight with a solemn look.

“Hmm, Daddy, is it okay to leave that big sister alone?” Little Saixi asked while looking at Bai Xue.

“It was clear the difference in strength is too big to overcome.”

Yunlong shook his head and commented, “That woman is also a fake title douluo.”

“Her physical defense is basically paper-thin.”

“The reason why she looks strong was because of her martial soul. Three-Legged Golden Toad is a rare holy spirit beast, after all.”

Little Saixi frowned and asked, “Then, why don’t you help that big sister?”

Yunlong chuckled and returned, “Little Saixi, have you ever heard about Alchemist and Overdosing?”

“Uugh, Alchemist is like a doctor, and overdosing is, hmm… I don’t know.” Little Saixi answered with a confused tone.

“Let me tell you a secret.” Yunlong smiled while looking at Bai Xue.

“That big sister is an alchemist, a fantastic one.”

“She’s so fantastic, to the point, you can compare her to crazy people.”

“The reason for that was… Her body.”

“Bai Xue has consumed over 69 million pills, causing her flesh and blood to become a special medicine.”

“Now, imagine a small fire.” Yunlong pointed at the golden sun behind Bai Xue.

Little Saixi slowly closed her eyes and imagined a small fire in the air.

“Watch that small fire grow bigger and bigger because it has an endless source of fuel.”

“After a minute, How big is the fire now?” He asked naturally.

“A MOUNTAIN!” Little Saixi answered with an excited tone.

Pa!

“Wrong.” Yunlong flicked her forehead lightly.

Little Saixi stared in disbelief and shouted, “EEEHHH! WHY?!”

“The correct answer is a star.” He replied while sensing the sudden temperature change.

Even though Sea God Island isn’t affected because of the barriers he set beforehand, the seashore where Bai Xue is currently is in a different state.

The water in the seashore has evaporated into gasses, leaving a wasteland full of fiery air.

Hong Mei released a cold sweat and stared at Bai Xue with a weird expression. “How could a spirit king cause such a change?” She whispered to herself.

She activated her ninth spirit ring, and the cannons gathered in one place.

“Hmph, it still means nothing in front of my cannons.”

“DIE!!!”

SWOOSH! BOOOOOOOM!

A destruction beam, even bigger than before, was blasted by Hong Mei’s cannons.

Bai Xue clasped her hands and chanted, “Record of the Burning World: Yellow Springs Ashes.”

.

.

It’s quiet.

No, the whole seashore is quiet.

Bai Xue’s attack didn’t cause an explosion, but the destruction was fresh in everyone’s eyes.

Terrifying yellow sunlight washed over the seashore, making any object, whether life or not, disappear from existence.

Hong Mei couldn’t even feel how she died because her entire well-being basically dispersed into nothingness. Not only her but all Sun and Moon agents stayed in Bai Xue’s territory.

“Take that…” Bai Xue breathed heavily.

All of her spirit energy dried out by using that ultimate attack.

Bai Xue moved her gaze to the Sea God Mountain and saw Yunlong give her a thumbs up.

“Heh, It’s worth it.” She grinned while looking at the sky.
