Chapter 1549 Elements

The fist-shaped ball of Spiritual energy hit the woman in the chest, but it did nothing to her at all. She continued gliding toward Alex and Alex retaliated with stronger attacks.

Spiritual attacks he had learned from the Fu clan ancestor flowed out from the sea beneath him, waves of Spiritual energy crashing onto the woman named Xin. They dissipated as quickly as they came.

Then Alex struck out a palm.

A yellow palm strike flew out from his hand, flying towards the woman. The woman's eyes stopped at the color of the palm strike and only destroyed it when it was too close to it.

She felt the destroyed aura dissipate and couldn't help but be surprised.

"Yang?" she asked herself, confused at what she was sensing.

A ball of fire flew next to her when she was caught off guard. She used her energy to push it aside, but just before she could do it, it exploded in front of her, the waves of the attack pushing her back, the head burning her ever so slightly, and the fire aura catching up to her.

"Fire?" she asked. It was another element this time.

Alex punched the next time, 4 golden spears forming from this single punch of his, all flying directly at the woman. His Golden Spear punch struck the woman, a metal aura filling her senses.

"Another one?" she cried out in surprise. "How is this possible?"

Alex could understand what she was feeling right now. His attacks which should be forming due to his spiritual energy had an elemental aura to them. That was something that should have been impossible.

Alex didn't know why that was the case, and neither could anyone else tell him. This was a mystery he would have to figure out himself. But for now, this was a fantastic help to him.

Alex creates numerous icicles around him that are hovered in the air and then lets them shoot out. They shot at the woman, the ice aura striking her.

'Water now?' the woman thought. She couldn't comprehend the situation, despite the years of experience she had. She couldn't understand why a Saint had something, not even a Divinity could have.

One's Spiritual sea was not something that could use Qi, so having elemental affinity to any attack was not possible. But it did, and the woman was dumbfounded all the more for it.

Alex wished he had a sword with him. He could make fake ones, but those wouldn't work. He could only use Sword Intent through them and no techniques. There were so many attacks he could make, but this was all he could do with techniques that didn't use swords.

Still, he didn't stop attacking. One after another, he threw out all the attacks he could at the woman.

Having gotten used to the situation, the woman stopped feeling surprised and started her attack as well.

She wasn't here to kill. The Intent that put her in the talisman was meant to erase the memories of all those who could let someone of importance know what had happened here.

But now that she had realized that Alex knew the identity of the girl they had taken away, she went against her own Intent to kill him. That was what she thought was the best thing to do here.

She started striking, each strike stripping away chunks of Alex's spiritual energy from him. Still, he had a lot for how weak his cultivation base was.

"You're a prodigy," she said. "A pillar of the future. I am saddened that I have to kill you, but for our own future, I will. Please accept that this isn't easy for me either."

She shot around another random attack.

Alex had put forth the All Swirling Elemental Shield by now and the damage he took was the damage his shield took. It wasn't direct damage, but in this instant, losing spiritual energy was equivalent to dying.

The woman's eyes flashed when she sensed the aura in the shield. '5 elements?' she thought. 'And he put out Yang before too. That makes it 6.'

She couldn't believe that he had access to 6 different ones. 'No Yin, however. I wonder why not?' she thought. It hadn't crossed her mind that Alex was only capable of producing the elemental aura he used as a technique.

Alex was hardly ever not on the defensive after the woman focused and she slowly approached him step by step, attack by attack. She could see the water beneath her becoming shallower and shallower with each step of her, with each attack.

And she continued it. It took her only 5 minutes before she was right in front of Alex and she used a strong burst of attack to destroy his shield.

Alex could barely look at her anymore. Even though it was just an avatar, his face reddened with pain, his breathing heavy, his head aching with a thumping noise that wouldn't go away.

"Alex..." Godslayer said softly from far away. He was ready to help, to throw away all the shadow aura around him to attack the woman with what he could.

But he didn't. He was told to stay away.

The woman looked at him with a pitiful look in her eyes. She just looked at him as Alex created another shield in front of him to protect himself, so much weaker than the last time.

"I would have just wiped your memory with barely any damage to your spirit had you not told the others about our goddess," the woman said. "Now, only death awaits you. I'm sorry."

Alex chuckled. "You're not the main spirit of Fairy Xin, are you?" he asked. "You're just a small chunk of her, right?"

The woman looked puzzled. "Yes, I can't even be considered that in reality," she said. "I'm barely anything."

"And yet you dared to be so nonchalant about it all," Alex said. "With this weak spirit, you should have been more prepared. You shouldn't have let yourself be weakened to this level."

"What are you—" the woman's words stuck to her throat as a wave of panic flashed from all around her. She had no Divine sense here And she had not seen this coming.

Yellow fog appeared out from underneath her immediately, grabbing onto her leg, then her torso, her arm, and then her face.

"What is this?" she shouted, trying to use her Divine energy to attack, but most of it was absorbed by the fog. What escaped it was stopped by Alex's shield.

Alex felt life flow back to him as the attack was absorbed and more life flowed back as the rest of her spirit was taken away. She screamed the entire time the yellow fog devoured her and even as this piece of her spirit was torn away, she didn't understand how she lost.

"I hope you won't be this antagonistic if we ever meet for real," Alex said and sighed in relief.

"That was close," Godslayer said from the side.

"Yes," Alex said. "But I had to take the chance. If she didn't think she had the upper hand, she wouldn't have weakened herself, and I don't know I could have absorbed her so easily."

Godslayer nodded.

"And I'm glad I did," Alex said excitedly. "My spiritual energy has improved by not a small margin once again." n/)Ovelb1n

There had come a reward for the tedious battle he had just fought.

"You can get excited later on," Godslayer said. "Go deal with what is happening outside first"

"Oh right," Alex said, quickly leaving for the outside. When he arrived outside, he smelled a flowery smell and saw chaos.

Liang Shufen was holding onto him, screaming his name, trying to feed him some sort of pill that she couldn't push through his mouth. In the distance, Yan Ning had the sect master of the Ice Mist Palace at a spear's edge, ready to cut her down.

It was only the people around her that had managed to stop her. The Queen was with her master, asking what she did, shouting at and could only use her vision to see what was happening.

Godslayer nodded.

"And I'm glad I did," Alex said excitedly. "My spiritual energy has her.

"Your Majesty!" Liang Shufen shouted when she saw him open his eyes. Her voice alerted the rest, bringing the other to him to check up on him.

"Your Majesty, are you alright?" Yao Ning asked.

"Your Majesty," Queen Song came to him as well.

"I'm alright," Alex said, slowly moving away from Liang Sufen and standing on his own. He felt the slightest hint of dizziness from his depleted spiritual energy.

He felt a slight buzz from behind him, a small feeling of worry passing through him that he nearly missed. He turned around to find Midnight in the snow.

He couldn't help but smile. He reached out to it and cleared the snow before telling it, and everyone else, "I'm fine. Don't worry."

He put Midnight inside his storage ring and looked around. "Where is the talisman I had?" he asked.

"Talisman?" Yao Ning asked. "We... we saw you fall unconscious, so we destroyed it. Should we not have done that?"

Alex thought for a moment and shook his head. "Never mind," he said and looked toward the sect master in the distance. She was being held by two men, both members of the Head Legion.

She was strong enough to break out at any moment, but she didn't. Alex could see the guilt in her eyes.

"I want to speak with the sect leader privately," Alex said. "Can you all step aside please?"

"Your Majesty, she tried to—"

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Alex said and moved toward the sect master, and the two men moved away from them.

Alex stood in front of her and used his spiritual sense to ask the first question.

"So... your sister, her husband, and their daughter were taken away to the Immortal realm, correct?"
