Chapter 162: You Will Die Here

Their feet touched the ground. In the same instant, the power that held them dissipated.

Xi Guanxi charged. His sword lashed out, a blaze of silver. In his far hand, he gestured, throwing out strands of glowing green.

Hui stared, eyes wide. He jumped back.

Too slow. Xi Guanxi struck Hui in two. Hui staggered back. His body slid apart, then separated, falling apart at the waist. His upper half thumped to the earth.

Xi Guanxis brows furrowed. He turned.

Roaring, a huge tabby made of fire rushed at him. At the same time, a thrill of danger rushed through him from behind. Xi Guanxi leaped into the air, dodging both.

A thin black thread snapped at the air behind him. The tabby slammed into it and melted away, and the thread vanished.

Hui stood behind him, a bashful smile on his face. He tipped his head. Oops.

Xi Guanxi turned. The figure on the ground became clearer. Long black hair hung loose over her back. She laid limply on the ground, black blood dripping slowly from her severed torso.

Youve wasted your last chance to survive, Xi Guanxi grumbled, lifting his sword again. The green threads lashed out from his fingers, swaying on the air like jellyfish tentacles at double speed. He raced at Hui again, stabbing out viciously.

His sword plunged into Huis side. Hui let out a pained cry and stumbled back. He gripped Xi Guanxis sword in place, a determined look on his face. I wont

Hui drew a deep breath, relaxing. How nice! I

Wait. I used one songbird to cage the red soul. Now Ive used one to replace my lifespan. At this rate, Im going to start falling out of my body again!

Mmm, at least now that Im at fourth stage, that attack only takes about half of my qi. Though I feel like I dont have a full comprehension of it. With a proper comprehension I expect that attack will still absorb all my qi at fourth stage!

Xi Guanxi fell to the ground. Blood ran out of every inch of his body, and his snake stretched only a hundred and fifty meters; such was the price hed had to pay to survive Huis attack. Spitting a mouthful of blood, he leaped back up and glared at Hui, completely unwilling to accept it. From the beginning, he hadnt landed any more than the one attack Hui had allowed him to land. Hed been played like a fool, as if the battleground was Huis playground. As someone who until now had dominated the sect, and especially his peers, this was naturally something that Xi Guanxi could not comprehend. His brows furrowed. This fool? This unremarkable cultivator, whose name I dont even know? Impossible.

His eyes burned with green light. He threw his hands out. Ten beams of green light flew from his sleeves and slammed into the ground, where they grew into ten cultivators. A green thread stretched from each cultivator to one of Xi Guanxis fingers. They stood before him, shoulders limp, heads bowed.

Huis eyes widened. He threw out a handful of talismans, and ice flew at Xi Guanxi.

Before the ice reached Xi Guanxi, he flicked his fingers. The cultivators heads snapped up. Green light shone in their eyes. One raised his hand. Fire beamed from his palm and slammed into the ice, melting it to nothing. The other nine leaped toward Hui, darting apart to attack from all directions. Magical attacks glimmered in all the puppets hands. Blazing light in all colors rushed at Hui from everywhere.

Hui threw out a handful of barrier talismans. A thick golden barrier shimmered into place around him. Even as it formed around him, the magical attacks slammed into it. The barrier shattered instantly.

Again, Hui threw out a handful of barriers, then again, then again, layering them one inside the other. The space around him grew narrower, and the light glowed so brilliantly in gold that he couldnt see the world around him. But only for a moment. The puppets smashed into his barriers, shattering them one after another. Their magical attacks weakened with each barrier they crushed, but not by much. Theyd been slowed, but only by a breath, maybe two. Barriers shattered like glass, and the attacks continued to rush at Hui.

Xi Guanxi laughed, throwing back his head. Worthless! Its time for trash like you to die! Gesturing again, he poured power into his puppets. Their eyes flashed green. Attacks growing stronger, they crushed through the barriers one after another.

The last barrier broke. Attacks slammed down on the figure inside, tearing it to scraps. Xi Guanxi laughed triumphantly, distaste flickering in his eyes. You should have learned to respect your elders and betters. And now its too late.
