Shisan looked at the young woman on the ship from far up in the sky and used her Qi sense to look for other people who could be hiding on the ship. She was so focused on the mysterious woman that she did not even notice the girl.
"Ignoring me in the middle of the battle?" hearing the voice of the woman, Shisan looked back and her eyes widened, "How rude!"
*BOOM!*
The explosion shook the ship, causing everyone on board to stumble. Shisan's figure was sent flying back from the center of the explosion. Suddenly, in the middle of the air, her figure faded into shadow and appeared far away.
The mysterious woman on the cauldron chuckled, her eyes glinting with amusement at the chaos she had caused. "Looks like you're finally paying attention to me," she taunted, her voice carrying over the tumultuous air.
There were several small orbs made of fire floating all around her.
Seeing the sight, Shisan did not show any particular emotions in her eyes and looked at her calmly, analyzing her opponent. Glancing at Song Liu on the ship who was looking at her with concern, she took a deep breath and then...
She stopped breathing!
Her eyes gained a look of indifference and all of the killing intent coming from her disappeared without a trace.
"What is this...?" The woman opposite to her became serious sensing the changes in her aura. "Her presence disappeared?"
She watched as Shisan disappeared from her spot. Regaining her focus, she flared her senses on high alert as she scanned the surroundings for any signs of danger.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
No matter how hard she tried to keep up her presence, she could not do it. 'Do you think just because you have hidden yourself, you can kill me?'
The woman closed her eyes and used her senses to the maximum to look for Shisan.
'I am an alchemist, qi control and sensing are my forte.' While she was thinking, something entered her senses causing her to grin. 'Got you!'
Suddenly she turned in the same direction and launched half of her fire orbs at the same time.
*BOOM!*
Yuan Ming gritted his teeth and parried the attack while Tian Heng was launched backward from the attack. He blocked most of the damage from the strike with his sword but he could not stop the shockwave from the attack and got blown back by it.
*Clank*
His sword shattered in the process, and Song Liu rushed to the boy instantly and pulled out her Zither.
Curious about her actions, the young woman looked at her curiously, but Yuan Ming did not leave any opportunity to slash down at the woman.
*Woosh!*
"That was close," she uttered, narrowly dodging the attack and watching her slashed hair fall to the ground.
"You still have something else to show?" Seeing Yuan Ming's sword glowing in blue light, a glint of light flashed through her eyes. "To think that sword can go toe to toe against my Rank 3 weapon."
Yuan Ming did not answer her words and focused on her sword strike.
'I have to go all out and not hold back anymore.' Taking a deep breath, he muttered, "Silent Serenity Stance."
He gained a tranquil and composed posture, akin to the calm before a storm. With a small noise caused by the sword moving against the sheath, he drew it while rushing forward.
'This is?' The Young Woman looked at him with a look of disbelief sensing the aura behind the strike. 'How can he cross the gap of three levels like that?'
But sadly, she did not have the time to analyze the move as she had to defend against it. She pulled the fan and countered Yuan Ming's move with a slash, but the boy was nowhere close to done.
*Ting!*
Before she could prepare for the next move, she paused in the middle of her stance hearing the sound of the Zither. She turned around and saw the beautiful girl tugging at the strings of the zither.
The melody from her zither caused the boy beside her to recover at a noticeable rate. The scene caused her to look so shocked that she failed to notice the boy stepping close to her.
"Ethereal Glide Slash!" She turned around upon hearing the words and saw a series of attacks coming in her direction.
