Spirit Vessel

Chapter 989: Traps

“Your Highness, a woman as great as you is also benevolent and will forgive these lowly ones. We shall never bother you again in the future.” An old man from the Yin World bowed and said respectfully.

Another added: “Your kindness is well known by all, I’m sure you won’t pursue this matter against beings in the darkness like us.”

They knew that they weren’t a match for her and didn’t want trouble from Aquamoon Paradise in the future. Thus, they chose to surrender.

Yiyi had a hard time persevering but still spoke calmly: “Those in the Yin World are either deserving of death or are dead already. As long as you guarantee to never leave the Yin World again, I-I will spare you.”

Her condition was terrible and the last sentence contained zero strength.

Feiyun was worried and thought that she was showing an opening. He stepped in front of her and said: “The saintess always keep her words. Since she has decided to spare you all, she’ll stay true to it. Scram already.”

The four paragons heaved a sigh of relief and didn’t doubt the saintess’ reputation.

“Thank you, Saintess.” They bowed.

However, one of them was blind and had a nefarious smile as he was bending down. He suddenly threw a needle straight at her.

“Boom!” Feiyun noticed this and turned his weapon essence into a spear to break the needle.

Nonetheless, remnant energy from the needle still struck Yiyi.

“Pluff!” It looked as if she was struck by a hammer. Blood streamed down her mouth; the sword floating above her dimmed down as well. It hymned and returned to the scabbard.

“Keke, the famous saintess can’t even block one blow, such an undeserved reputation!” The four paragons looked up and released their murderous aura again.

Their fear was all but gone. They looked like four gods now looking down on the duo.

“I knew that you were putting up an act, brat. Looks like the princess was right, you were grievously injured after fighting the demons.” An old man with bloody eyes said. He was a top wisdom master and could read the general direction of fates. Thus, he noticed a downward trajectory for her, hence the downward risk.

His eyes were blinded by Feiyun’s saint energy. He just didn’t know that it was Feiyun who did it.

Yiyi was no longer as imperious as before. Not to mention fighting four paragons, she would have a hard time lifting a finger.

“The Yin World has been bullied by Aquamoon for ten thousand years. Today, we will repay this by killing its saintess, to let your sect know that it is not unbeatable.” They knew that they could kill her here without being noticed by Aquamoon.

“I don’t like Aquamoon but you all are dreaming, thinking that you can oppose it.” Feiyun laughed.

The man with the iron ring said: “Brat, you’ll have a fun time once we bring you back to the Yin World.

Feiyun walked back toward Yiyi and placed his cloak on her. He said: “Hold on tight to my neck.

Yiyi’s hands trembled. This was her first time being so close to a man. Nonetheless, she still did it – her hands wrapped around his shoulders; her exquisite face rested on his back.

“On on tight!” He repeated before tying the sleeves of the cloak around his waist. His aura surged as he got ready for the battle.

“You can’t beat them…” Her voice was weak.

He could smell a sweet fragrance from her since they were so close.

The paragons laughed as well. The blind man said: “Haha, the saintess needs the protection of a half-demon junior. How low you have fallen.”

“Throwing an egg at a rock, how futile. No one is leaving here today.”

“That’s not for you to decide. Catch up to me first then talk.” Feiyun activated three domains that serve as three surging barriers around him.

“Whoosh!” He activated his Swift Samsara. It was as if he was riding on two vortexes, allowing him to have lightning-fast speed.

The moment he touched the water, he instantly made it to the wall of the courtyard.

“You’re not going anywhere!” One man attacked with his iron ring. It became larger and larger until it had a diameter of ten meters. The surface was covered in bright, ancient runes.

If it wasn’t for the suppression of power, this iron ring could crush a considerable section of the land.

Beast images appeared on Feiyun’s arm and traveled to the weapon essence. It changed shape into a bestial gauntlet, successfully repelling the ring.

“Boom!” A shockwave still sent Feiyun flying. Nonetheless, he stabilized his stance and landed on another broken building before leaping towards the center of the ruins.

“My physical power with the five domains should be superior to them. The closer we are to the center, the more advantageous.” Feiyun had Yiyi on his back while wielding a white spear, darting through the air.

“This person blocked a full-powered move from me, no wonder why Yama told us to be careful, his body is nearly as strong as ours.” The ring user recalled the weapon and looked surprised.

“Let’s go, we can’t let them escape!” The four paragons used their movement techniques, breaking through the wall and heading for the center.

Feiyun was actually faster than the four of them but it didn’t take long before he was ambushed.

“Boom!” A gigantic ant broke two buildings along the way and stopped his path, looking murderous.

Its vitality was monstrous; its black carapace resembled divine metal. It roared while glaring at him: “Half-demon, leave her and I will spare you.”

Feiyun immediately changed direction. He predicted something like this because the demons wouldn’t be scared so easily.

They tricked those from the Yin World to scout for them and must have been hiding nearby.

“Rumble!” The ant paragon gave chase and crushed the streets. It spewed out a demonic sword straight at him.

He didn’t dare to stop and used his domains to form three shields. He then pulled Yiyi and embraced her instead.

“Boom!” The sword pierced through the shields but was still stopped.

Nonetheless, the remnant power struck Feiyun’s back, smashing him flying for several dozen meters.

He eventually landed and stabilized his churning blood then moved on. If he didn’t change Yiyi’s position, she would have been struck by that power.

“Y-you are so strange, you conspired… with the demons before, why are y-you risking your life to save me now?” Yiyi looked up at his face.

He looked down and revealed a bright smile, still holding her waist tightly: “Didn’t I say that I might like you?”

She shook her head then closed her eyes. His words left zero impression on her.

His smile slowly disappeared and his eyes became stern. He noticed several monstrous auras coming closer.

“Boom!” A gigantic claw tore the ground apart cane came for him.

He mustered all of his strength and swung the weapon essence to parry the claw.
