Chapter 90: Keep Fighting Then

Ye Yi Ran’s words fell and ten men rushed forward together. His face was full of hate. After a whole day of bowing and scraping, all he got was Li Wan Zhi’s mocking. Ye Yi Ran had had enough. He said coldly: “Leave the women alive, kill the men.”

Fang He An and Li Wan Zhi scowled, and Fang He An snapped: “What is this, discrimination?”

Shen Nan Zhou said quietly: “Hide.”

Fang He An and Li Wan Zhi obeyed at once and said: “Got it.”

As they spoke, the two of them crouched behind Ye Wan Wan and Bai Jian, then slipped away from the main fight. Seeing Shen Nan Zhou still standing in front, Fang He An even tried to help: “Junior brother, you come too.”

Shen Nan Zhou was silent for a while, then said in a low voice: “Third senior brother, you can use your spirit root power.”

Fang He An thought for a moment, then shook his head: “My attack spreads too wide. If I use it, you will get hurt too.”

Shen Nan Zhou said evenly: “You can take the antidote ahead of time.”

Fang He An’s eyes lit up. [That is a good plan. But I only have poison on me right now. What do I do?]

Shen Nan Zhou finished speaking and stepped out.

Bai Jian had already drawn her sword and clashed with the enemy. Two Late Golden Core cultivators focused on her alone. Three Early Golden Core cultivators went after Ye Wan Wan. The Foundation Establishment opponents were left for the three men.

Li Wan Zhi complained again and muttered: “So discriminatory.”

Shen Nan Zhou strode out. With his fists alone, he smashed through the ring of five Foundation Establishment cultivators. There was hardly any spiritual fluctuation from him, but each time his fist landed, there was a clear crack. The struck Foundation Establishment cultivator’s eyes went wide, then he fell to his knees and could not stand again.

Li Wan Zhi’s teeth ached with envy. He nudged Fang He An and whispered: “Senior brother, look at his fists. Are they super hard or what?”

Shen Nan Zhou dropped a Foundation Establishment cultivator with each punch. He did not even need a second strike.

Fang He An rolled his eyes and said: “You are just weak. I have sparred with junior brother. It is not as exaggerated as you say.”

Li Wan Zhi fell silent. [That is called being treated differently.]

Shen Nan Zhou cleared the lackeys around him, but he did not join the fights of Bai Jian or Ye Wan Wan. Instead, he stayed by Fang He An and Li Wan Zhi’s side.

The two senior brothers patted their chests and murmured: “Why do I feel like we are being protected by a man?”

Fang He An said: “It is a little weird.”

Li Wan Zhi said: “This goes against our Heavenly One Sect tradition.”

Fang He An sniffed: “That does not matter. I made that tradition.”

Li Wan Zhi was speechless.

Bai Jian fought harder and her eyes grew brighter. She always got braver the longer she fought, and after a full meal her strength had nowhere to go. Now she swung her sword down. Every arc of sword qi carried an unstoppable force. The light of the Greatforce Sword was like a rainbow tearing the sky, flashing blinding white again and again.

Bai Jian’s eyes sparkled as she called: “Again!”

The two Late Golden Core cultivators turned pale. The mountain path ahead had shattered under the girl’s slash, and half the village had been leveled. Yet her power was still full, like it had no end.

On the other side, Ye Wan Wan lifted her hand. Streams of spiritual light poured out and pushed the three cultivators half a meter away from her. No matter what they did, they could not get close. Judging by the light’s fluctuation, this was Talisman Arts. The girl’s gaze stayed calm, with no ripple, as if all of this was already in her plan. Sensing their eyes, Ye Wan Wan looked over and even smiled.

The two Late Golden Core cultivators felt their hearts jump. [Something is wrong. Very wrong.] These five people were strange.

Ye Yi Ran kept yelling: “Move faster. Do not let them stall for time. If others arrive, we will be in trouble.”

The two cultivators agreed. The longer this dragged on, the more accidents could happen. One said: “Elder Wen Tai’s Array Arts can hold for a while longer. We finish this fast.”

“Fine.”

They gritted their teeth and no longer hid their aura. Brilliant halos burst from their bodies as they raised their golden bodies. Clang, clang, clang. Strong golden light bloomed from them, and then the same light shone from the three men facing Ye Wan Wan too.

Shen Nan Zhou and Fang He An both saw it and said together: “Golden Body Mantra.”

Li Wan Zhi stared and said: “They are from Dominion Dao Sect. Is that not a sect in the south? Why did they come to the Heavenly One Sect’s lands?”

Ye Wan Wan’s face turned cool and she asked: “Dominion Dao Sect also colludes with the Ye Clan?”

The three men did not answer. Their moves just got faster. Every strike targeted Ye Wan Wan’s weak points.

“She is a talisman master. Break her divine court.”

They had to crush Ye Wan Wan’s Primordial Spirit to stop her Talisman Arts. Otherwise, they could not get near her. And this girl was not only controlling her side of the field. She was also helping Bai Jian. The golden talismans flowing in the air quietly guarded the girl with the huge sword too. The effect was not loud or obvious, but the protection was always there. She was controlling the whole battle.

Elder Wen Tai hid in the dark, watching from afar. Seeing this, he said coldly: “Cripple the girl in white first.”

The five obeyed and charged at Ye Wan Wan.

Bai Jian’s strike landed on empty air. Seeing the enemies rush Ye Wan Wan, anger flashed over her small face and she shouted: “Do not bully my junior sister!”

Shen Nan Zhou’s eyes went cold.

Under pressure from five Golden Core opponents, Ye Wan Wan’s lips curved. She said: “I was waiting for you.”

She stepped forward. A Seven Star Maze Array opened. The five rushed in and suddenly plunged into thick fog.

Ye Yi Ran gasped: “Where did this fog come from?”

Ye Wan Wan said in a soft voice: “From a dream.”

No one could see each other, but everyone could hear the girl’s voice clearly. Their hearts pounded, faster and faster.

“Where is she?”

Zhao Three walked uneasily through the fog.

The girl’s low voice sounded behind him: “Here.”

Zhao Three spun around. The girl stood right behind him. She smiled at him. Zhao Three’s pupils shrank. In the next instant, one palm pierced his dantian. The girl whispered: “You can die now.”

Zhao Three’s eyes went wide. He fell with a thud.

“Zhao Three!”

The other two rushed over, but the girl vanished before their eyes. When they drew near, a sword pierced a heart.

Out on the bare ground by the village slope, Ye Yi Ran’s group saw a scene that felt unreal. The five Golden Core fighters who had rushed Ye Wan Wan suddenly dropped, one after another. One clutched his stomach and dug out his own Golden Core. One drew his long sword and stabbed his companion through the heart, but was himself smashed in the head by a single punch from the companion. It was all wrong. It was eerie beyond words.

Only Ye Wan Wan stood in the center of the fog, playing with a small stone in her hand. Sensing all eyes on her, she looked up and smiled to everyone: “Everyone, keep fighting then.”

Only two Late Golden Core cultivators were left. Their hair stood on end. They stepped back, and kept backing up, until there was nowhere left to retreat.
