Daily life of a cultivation judge

Everyone present including Lai Rou who had presumably fought her for quite some time, were visibly wary the moment they saw the white roses appear on Yin Rong’s hands and the white flames on her blade.

The temperatures fluctuated immediately the moment the flames appeared which was rather ironical for a dip in temperature to appear because of such pure white burning flames that looked like they could melt any metal as if it was butter.

Zou Yi and Zou Liqin both had grim expressions. They had seen their fair share of natural physiques at the Zou clan for them to recognize Yin Rong had a natural physique of her own, which meant other than watching out for her exquisite skills in dual sword wielding they had to be wary of the attributes of the physiques, and from the look of things it wasn’t a utility based one like Yu Mei’s but an offensive type.

Yin Rong’s breathing became a little bit labored as she breathed out a faint mist with every breath and sucked it back in with every inhalation.

One of He Shan’s arrows arrived in the midst of her sudden transformation. She casually struck it with one of her white flame-coated swords and it burst apart into white crystal-like shards that glittered like stars as they disappeared leaving behind a faint mist that had a rosey scent to it.

Zou Yi took a nervous gulp when he saw the arrow burst apart. He couldn’t help but imagine what if it was his hands. However, it was already too late since he was already within striking distance of Yin Rong. ｂ𝚍ｎｏｖ𝚕．ｃｏｍ

He immediately executed the flurry waves fist art, which made his fists fluid, flexible as water, and carried the ferocity of a monstrous wave. He held no reservations in his swing even though Yin Rong was tinier than him.

Yin Rong casually blocked his fist with the hilt of her sword which created a ‘gong’ sound from the deflection. Zou Yi felt a sharp sudden pain crawl up his right arm which was accompanied by a burning sensation that had pain-induced frost in it.

He hurriedly tried to draw his fist back only to find out his movements within that arm were slightly sluggish. It wasn’t sluggish enough to be noticed by a normal eye, but it was sluggish enough for Yin Rong to exploit it.

She quickly swung her free sword, aiming at Zou Yi’s unguarded torso. Just as her sword was about to connect, Zou Liqin tried to deflect it sideways with her palm technique.

A ripple-like wave appeared from the point of contact between her palm and the swords which ended up creating a loud ringing sound. However the blade didn’t budge but her attack did manage to halt it for a few milliseconds which was enough for Zou Yi to jump backwards, the attack missing him by an inch.

A smooth slice mark appeared on his tattered robes and part of his chest had faint shallow wound which immediately closed up.

andasnovel.com Zou Liqin in the meanwhile was flung sideways when Yin Rong instantaneously swung sideways after her attack missed Zou Yi. Zou Liqin gritted her teeth as she felt her bones almost fracture from that swing.

Yu Mei who had been behind Zou Yi instantly swung her sword downwards at Yin Rong when Zou Yi masterfully moved to the side when she was bringing down her sword.

They were hoping to catch Yin Rong off-guard but Yin Rong sidestepped to the side as if she had expected it with a mocking grin on her face as she launched a kick to Yu Mei’s swinging arm which not only almost broke her arm, but also caused the sword in her hands to slip away.

The trio of Zou Yi, Zou Liqin, and Yu Mei couldn’t believe how they had been effortlessly thwarted when the fight had only just begun.

“It seems I was wary for nothing..” Yin Rong calmly said as she charged at them with a malevolent smile on her face.

Zou Yi and Yu Mei despite not wanting to, found themselves taking a step back out of fear.

“WHAT ARE YOU DOING? WERE YOUR WOUNDS JUST FOR SHOW?!” He Shan madly roared as he charged Yin Rong with his axe.

Despite his fearless display, Yin Rong simply crossed her swords and stopped the axe dead in its tracks. While it seemed simple for her, He Shan’s hands were bulged with veins and even small tear marks appeared on his hands as he desperately held onto the axe so it would not slip.

He Shan remained undaunted as he followed up with more attacks each missing the mark or being casually deflected. His moves were fast, ferocious, and precise just as he was with his arrows.

However, before Yin Rong, she made it seem completely harmless, especially the ease with which she dealt with it.

The tables were turned on He Shan when the roles were received and he was on the receiving end of her attacks. Unlike her, he couldn’t handle Yin Rong’s attack with ease. Cuts started appearing on his arms and they grew by the second, but despite that, he didn’t shrink back one bit.

“Out with you, you feisty brat..” Yin Rong said as she brought her sword downward aiming to slice He Shan at the shoulders.

He Shan had a vicious glint in his eyes as he made no attempt to dodge and was looking to trade injury for injury as he swung his axe sideways aiming for her stomach.

Yin Rong snorted dismissively at his actions, showing no hints of deviating from her attack. However, her pupils froze when the smooth slice she expected to happen once her sword connected, clashed with something strong.

Only when she looked closer did she notice an abnormal bulging on He Shan’s shoulders underneath the beast robe.

He Shan took advantage of that momentary lapse to increase the ferocity of his swing. Yin Rong reacted swiftly and pinned the axe between her elbow and thigh. Though she prevented it from tearing her in half, the force it created did manage to manage to throw her off balance for a few steps.

“See, she can be defeated..” He Shan smugly said as he geared up for another attack.

Zou Yi and the rest, whose eyes had despair and self-doubt in them, had their fighting wills reignited by He Shan’s display.

“Can’t believe I’m still this fragile that I can waver this easily..” thought Zou Yi with a rueful smile.

“Thank you He Shan I owe you one..” added Zou Yi.

“I’ll keep her at bay, use whatever attacks you have. Don’t worry about me getting caught up in it…” Lai Rou said as he swiftly charged Yin Rong.
