Chapter 94: Wealthy Background

Ye Zhao Zhao stared at the fierce Goldenwing Eagle, and her heart sank. She had planned to hide on the side and pick up the leftovers, but the Goldenwing Eagle suddenly went crazy and rushed at her again.

Li Shuang stepped in to block it, saying: “Your opponent is us.”

Yan Fan followed right after.

But the more Li Shuang tried to stop it, the more the Goldenwing Eagle locked onto Ye Zhao Zhao. It kept trying to tear past them and go straight for her.

Ye Zhao Zhao bit her lip. She did not even spare a thought for Chang Le An as she turned to run.

She had only one last chance to unseal her strength. If this Goldenwing Eagle forced it out, how could she still kill Li Shuang later? [Li Shuang must die.] She had already borrowed so many benefits from the System in advance. How could she ever pay them back? [The System never makes a losing deal.] Just thinking about the System’s possible punishment made her whole body shake.

Ye Zhao Zhao ran, but Li Shuang did not panic. She moved on purpose to block the Goldenwing Eagle again and called out: “Quick, we must not let the Goldenwing Eagle catch her!”

Yan Fan nodded and worked with Li Shuang to hold it off.

Seeing Ye Zhao Zhao getting farther away, the Goldenwing Eagle’s eyes grew colder. He screeched, and golden feathers fell like a rain of arrows.

Taking that moment while Li Shuang and Yan Fan blocked the feathers, the Goldenwing Eagle’s body turned into a stream of light. In an instant, his amazing speed rose even higher. He broke through their encirclement and shot straight at Ye Zhao Zhao’s back.

Feeling the terrible might rushing at her from behind, Ye Zhao Zhao’s face went white.

Li Shuang shouted: “Junior Sister Ye, stop hiding your strength. Make a move now!”

The Goldenwing Eagle stretched out his sharp claws, his eyes icy. [Fine. I want to see what this woman is hiding.]

The wind howled. In a blink, his claws swelled huge like a mountain and came pressing down at Ye Zhao Zhao.

Before the claws even reached her, the wild wind cut open bloody lines across Ye Zhao Zhao’s skin.

A fear she had never felt before flashed in her eyes. If those claws landed, she would die. [I will die. I really will die. I am a Transmigrator. I was born to crush these natives and stand at the top of the world. How can I die here?]

Despair flooded her gaze. She yelled in her heart: [Unseal!]

Her last chance to unseal her strength was forced out like this. [Li Shuang!] [This is all her doing.] Rage burned in her, but faced with death, she had no choice.

Ye Zhao Zhao’s power surged to its peak in an instant.

“Hmm…” The Goldenwing Eagle suddenly noticed something and looked shocked.

But it was already too late.

Ye Zhao Zhao’s face was cold as she swung her sword once.

There was no trick, no sword art. Before absolute power, she simply put all her strength into that one strike.

Both of the Goldenwing Eagle’s claws were chopped off in a flash.

This was even after he twisted aside at the last possible breath. If he had not, he would already be a corpse.

The Goldenwing Eagle stared at Ye Zhao Zhao in fear. He did not know she was only a paper tiger now. Afraid she could strike like that again, he turned to flee.

But Li Shuang and Yan Fan would not let this chance go. Moving in perfect step, they blocked the Goldenwing Eagle from left and right.

“Crimson Gold Flame,” Li Shuang called as a golden flame fell onto the Goldenwing Eagle.

Right after, a biting chill spread as Yan Fan added: “Ice Lotus.”

From burning heat to freezing cold, the Goldenwing Eagle let out a scream. In a heartbeat his body was sealed in ice, then with a bang, it shattered to pieces.

Supreme Demonkin, the Goldenwing Eagle, was dead.

He might have had other trump cards, but Li Shuang and Yan Fan chose their moment too well. He died before he could use anything else.

On the ground, only scraps of flesh were left.

“This Goldenwing Eagle’s true realm was just the Foundation Establishment Stage. He had not even formed a demon core,” Li Shuang said.

Yan Fan nodded: “The bloodline of a Supreme Demonkin is indeed amazing in the same realm. Without Junior Sister Ye, even working together, you and I might not have won.” He looked at Ye Zhao Zhao with sharp curiosity.

With one strike she had gravely wounded the Goldenwing Eagle. The power she showed in that instant was far beyond the Foundation Establishment Stage, almost on par with the Nascent Soul Stage.

Ye Zhao Zhao’s heart fluttered with panic under his gaze, but she forced a calm face and said: “I… I used a Fifth Tier talisman.”

Li Shuang added smoothly: “Junior Sister Ye has a wealthy background. A Fifth Tier talisman is nothing to her.”

Yan Fan was startled: “Junior Sister Ye is that rich? A Fifth Tier talisman holds Nascent Soul Stage power. One that a Foundation Establishment Stage can trigger costs even more. A single talisman like that is worth at least hundreds of top grade spirit stones, probably far more. And that is nothing to you?”

He was truly shocked. He was wealthy himself. But the same spirit stones spent on training or buying a magic weapon would boost strength much more. Most people would not spend so much on a one use talisman. It would slow their progress.

“Junior Sister Ye is skilled at business. These spirit stones do not matter to her, and she has more than one Fifth Tier talisman,” Li Shuang said.

Yan Fan stared at Ye Zhao Zhao with even greater surprise.

For any Cultivator, wealth, partners, techniques, and a good place to train were all crucial. With her ability to earn, if she used her resources well, her future achievements would surely be great.

Yan Fan’s amazement made Ye Zhao Zhao feel pleased. She was about to speak when Chang Le An’s odd voice sounded: “Zhao Zhao, it seems you are not short of spirit stones.”

Ye Zhao Zhao’s face went stiff. She had actually forgotten about Chang Le An.

Earlier, the people of Ling Xu Peak had emptied their pockets to help her pay the debt in spirit stones, yet now Li Shuang had said she was not lacking at all. What would Sheng Yuan and the others think?

She had no way to defend herself. Other than claiming she used Fifth Tier talismans, she could not explain her many escapes from death. If anyone learned that she could still unseal Nascent Soul Stage strength inside this secret realm, the high levels of the Human Race would be shocked, and the System would likely be exposed. That would be far worse for her than being misunderstood as simply rich.

Facing Chang Le An’s probing look, Ye Zhao Zhao could only force a bitter face and say: “Third Senior Brother, I thought with a few talismans we could gain more in the secret realm, so it would not be a loss. But now… I have really used up all my talismans.”

She could not help but cast a venomous glance at Li Shuang. If not for this woman, how would a bootlicker like Chang Le An dare to question her?
