Spirit Vessel

Chapter 959: Gift From A Fairy

Feiyun held the demonic spear in one hand while the weapon essence turned into a rain of swords above him. He stomped the ground to gather momentum before lunging forward.

Eighth wore a red cloak; his weapon of choice was Omnipotent. He delivered a mighty slash forward while being empowered by the blood of the qilin.

Feiyun resembled the king of all beasts while Eighth was a primordial qilin, contesting each other with their weapon.

Three palaces crumbled and turned into ruins from the shockwaves.

“Myriad.” Feiyun tossed his spear up in the air before forming a mudra. Countless Buddhist seals appeared around him before joining together.

Layers of seals and runes contained immeasurable power.

“Omnipotent!” Eighth held onto the hilt with both hands. An indomitable spirit surged and fueled his attack.

“Boom!” The seal and the sword energy were evenly matched. Both dispersed without a trace.

Feiyun jumped up in the air to grab his spear before retreating a bit.

“Die!” Eighth used his movement technique and soared forward like an eagle for another slash.

His sword became massive – eighty meters long and twelve meters wide, seemingly wanting to split the area into two halves.

Feiyun placed his palms together and the silkworms around him turned into a golden cocoon wrapping around him.

“Boom!” The sword struck the cocoon, issuing a deafening blast.

The cocoon still stopped the sword, seemingly unbreakable. Eighth gathered more energy and his arms had qilin scales. His power became considerably stronger.

“Boom! Boom!” The ground beneath Feiyun sank down and started cracking. Some were dozens of meters wide.

“Raa!” Feiyun roared and all of the beast souls rushed towards Eighth.

Eighth pulled his sword back and released his vitality. The head of a blood qilin appeared above him. It roared and intimidated the incoming souls.

“Whoosh!” Feiyun turned his weapon essence into a white dragon flying up into the air.

“Omnipotent, Soul Summon!” Eighth could sense how sharp the essence was and didn’t dare to touch it. He leaped backward and unleashed the power of his swords.

The images of the paragons from the Gu appeared behind the sword; each issued a terrifying aura.  They then stopped the weapon essence from coming back down.

“Break!” Meanwhile, he slashed vertically. The sword energy destroyed the formations and the wall of his own mansion. Debris went flying everywhere.

The spectators have left the mansion for a while now and were shocked watching this battle. Remember, Crimson Leaf had meteoric stones to weaken cultivators. However, this fight was still so destructive.

They watched Eighth easily kill a top genius back in Void Paradise. Alas, this half-demon kept up all the same. They had to admit that he was a dragon among men.

“Seventh Sis, I sincerely congratulate you for recruiting such a treasure. How enviable.” Liu Suhong stood on top of a roof. Her expression looked rather cold.

Liu Suzi had a slender figure since her chest was wrapped up in cloth. Nonetheless, she still looked amazing as she smiled: “You need to be careful, Feng Feiyun is very bloodthirsty. I wouldn’t know what to say if he were to accidentally kill your fiance.”

Liu Suhong’s expression slightly darkened. This was a secret agreement between their grandfathers. How did Liu Suzi find out? I can’t underestimate her.

However, she kept a cool face and said: “You think too highly of Feng Feiyun. If their cultivation is equal, then maybe he can win. But, he’s still one level below. The dual domains can’t make up for it.”

Liu Suzi frowned ever so slightly, realizing that her sister was telling the truth.

He would have a big chance with the right beast souls, stupid half-demon. If he had told me about this, I could have begged the seniors to help him gather enough sacred beast souls. Why is he causing trouble when he’s not strong enough? Who’s going to help me deal with Eighth if something happens to him?

Suzi was frustrated at first, thinking that Feiyun didn’t use his brain enough. But, she then realized Feiyun had a reason for doing so. The guy didn’t have much time left since he was about to be taken to Aquamoon Paradise.

Meanwhile, Eighth unleashed a slash with his scaled claw towards Feiyun.

The latter used the cocoon again to defend.

“Boom!” The sword energy was stopped but Feiyun was sent flying. He smashed through a palace’s jade door and landed inside.

Eighth turned into a ray and entered the palace. Loud explosions came from within. Eventually, the walls and the palace itself crumbled.

Feiyun’s hair ribbon was ripped off so his hair draped downward. There was a cut on his cheek with blood dripping down.

Eighth came out of the ruins and sneered: “I might worry if your cultivation was one level higher but the current you is no match for me. I don’t even need to use my domain to beat you.”

“You think too highly of yourself. You haven’t gone all out, as if I have.” Feiyun touched the cut on his cheek and released Buddhist energy. The wound closed right away.

Suddenly, a ray came from the street. It was a fairy riding the wind and being shrouded in an immortal light. Her hair draped down to her waist; her figure left no room for criticism. She felt transcendent and superior to all.

She landed on a high pagoda nearby and looked down, speaking elegantly: “I believe that this battle is at the apex for Crimson’s young generation. You two are top prodigies, extremely rare even when taking all of Sixth Central into account, truly commendable.”

“Thank you for your kind praises.” Eighth was ecstatic.

Firmament Fairy was a prestigious character. Even the successors of the territory lords might not be able to see her yet she gave him face by visiting his mansion.

Does she favor me?

He thought that this was possible. That’s why she gave him “Azure” then came here in person.

She calmly said: “But, it’s a shame that it’s not a fair fight. Eighth Young Lord has a tenth-ranked sword blessed by the sages of his clan while Feng Feiyun only has a broken tenth-ranked demonic weapon, only capable of exerting thirty percent of its actual potential. I wish to give Feng Feiyun a tenth-ranked weapon to make this fair. Is this improper of me?”

“Give” instead of “lend”. Everyone instinctively thought that she chose the wrong word. Who could be so generous as to give away a tenth-ranked treasure?

“Fairy, you wish to give him a tenth-ranked treasure?” A crowd member couldn’t believe it.

She smiled and said: “Of course. Treasures and weapons are meant for deserving heroes. Young Noble Feng has two domains, a weapon should feel honored to have a master like him. This is their reason for existence. Am I right, Young Noble Feng?”

“You’re perfectly right.” Feiyun thought that he couldn’t see through this woman. What was her goal?

The most inscrutable women he knew were Xuanyuan Yiyi and Long Jiangling. Yao Ji and Liu Suzi were one level lower.

The first two walked the righteous path. Even when they were scheming, they still gave off a righteous feeling.

As for Yao Ji and Liu Suzi, they focused too much on strategy instead of cultivation. This seemed to be the improper path for cultivators. It could be effective temporarily but ultimately, strength still triumphs.
