Boom!
The woman watched carefully as the smoke from the explosion started to recede. As the smoke dissipated, a figure became clear to her.
The slight grin on her face that appeared because her attack successfully connected started to vanish.
In front of her was not Shisan, whom she was aiming to kill, but instead, it was an afterimage that started to disappear with the smoke.
*Woosh!*
Before she could even prepare herself, another attack came for her from the side. Just as she turned around, she saw a sharp blade striking down aiming to slice her neck in one go.
*Slash!*

"Arghhh!!!" The woman screamed in pain as she looked at Shisan with a hateful look in her eyes. She barely dodged the attack, but the blade pierced her shoulder and made a huge cut across her whole arm.
"You!!" By the time she focused on Shisan again, she was nowhere to be found. With a panicked look on her face, the woman looked around.
When she finally saw Shisan, she could not bring herself to attack because there was not just one of her.
In front of her, rows and rows of Shisan were there, moving, running, and looking for an opportunity to strike.
She knew that they all were afterimages of her body, but she could not tell which one was real.
"Do you think something like this would stop me?" In her rage, the woman screamed at the top of her lungs and launched all the remaining fire orbs in all directions.
*Boom!*
Even though she was taking her chances, she found it was better for her to just do what she did instead of waiting for the woman.
"You missed..." Just as she was about to prepare for another attack, the woman felt a chill running down her entire body. The voice sounded from all directions as if the woman was everywhere.
Even though she wanted to, she could not cover all of her blind spots.
*Boom!*
A huge pillar of light erupted from her body as her cultivation started to rise.
Shisan in the air, who was close to beheading the woman, backed away sensing a huge amount of energy coming in her direction.
The huge pillar blocked her path. As it started to dissipate, the scene started to change. In the middle of the air, stood the figure of a mature woman covered in black robes.
The woman looked similar to the young woman but just more mature and older. In her hands, she was holding the injured golden core-level woman who was close to death.
*Thud!*
She threw the woman back on the ship which was no longer protected by the barrier as it had been shattered the moment she erupted her aura.
Yuan Ming wanted to move and kill the woman using this chance but he could barely lift his finger because of the suffocating aura in the air.
'This is more than ten times worse than this woman. Just how are we still alive?'
"You people are really something, just which sect are you from? I wonder if I have heard of it somewhere before?" licking the blood of her fingers, the cloaked woman looked at Shisan.
"Two boys who can deal with cultivators at a higher level than their own just like you, who were able to deal with someone in the eighth level of the golden core level while just being in the sixth level." Her eyes turned into a crescent moon as she turned to look down before adding, "then there is her."
Shisan's eyes trembled to see the target of the woman's gaze.
"I guess I will make her my next puppet–"
*Boom!*
*Clang!*
Just as the woman was in the middle of completing her words, she raised her hand to block a huge illusionary blade slicing down at her.
Sparks of fire flew in the air as the blade collided with a huge fan in the middle of the air.
"Ho~ What are you doing?" The woman looked at Shisan coldly and asked. Her voice reverberated in the air causing the wind to tremble.
"I will kill you!"
