The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder

Chapter 97: 97

Chapter 97 – Phecda’s Power (I)

Everything happened in an instant…

Shui Yuner closed her eyes .

When she opened her eyes again, the water-blue eyes were covered with white light, and a scarlet-red emerged in the abyss of the black pupils .

In those eyes, there is no emotion, no focus .

“… Little Yun?”

This is not Little Yun! This is definitely not Little Yun! Xue Qilin’s intuition roared .

Shui Yuner showed an inopportune bright smile, and her soft lips weaved out a word: “Liar . ”

“Be careful!”

Shui Yuner’s voice and Ye Zhen’s shout entered Xue Qilin’s ears almost at the same time .

In the next moment, an impact struck Xue Qilin .

She was knocked away . Cutting a sorry figure, she rolled twice on the ground .

At the same time, a frightening sword ray streaked past her former location and boomed towards the distance . The power it contains is almost at the level of an all out strike of a Heaven Realm master .

Darn it! Absent-minded, Xue Qilin found that there are several disciples who still haven’t evacuated on the trajectory of the sword ray, and her chest tightened immediately .

The disciples facing imminent “death” revealed aghast in their eyes .

What do I do? Thunder Flame Dragon likely won’t make it in time . But if I use Flying Flames instead, the power won’t cut it… Xue Qilin’s thoughts revolved quickly .

Just as Xue Qilin was agonizing within, a strong wind lifter her sleeves .

Ye Zhen kicked off the ground with all his might, flew out close to the ground, and then blocked in front of the sword ray . He stabbed Heavenly Glimmer filled with true qi into the ground, and the ground made out of rock cracked instantly .

“Rise!”

Ye Zhen shouted and lifted part of the ground . A huge stone slab rose and formed a wall blocking in front of the ray of sword qi .

There was an explosion, and wisps of sword qi swapped around stone fragments shot in all directions .

Xue Qilin gritted her teeth and blocked her face with a sleeve .

It’s my fault! If I had been transparent from the beginning, things wouldn’t have deteriorated to such a degree! Xue Qilin really itches to punch herself .

She underestimated Shui Yuner’s desire for revenge as well as…

In her view, Xue Qilin only concealed the details of her identity and magic . It wasn’t deception . She didn’t expect Shui Yuner to be so sensitive, let alone so brooding .

Xue Qilin thought that her remedy afterwards would be enough to put Shui Yuner at ease, and eliminate the barrier between the two .

But everything in front of her is telling that she was wrong .

In the distance, Ye Zhen and Shui Yuner with Phecda in hand have locked in a close quarter combat, and countless sparks spurted .

The residual sword qi wrecked the ground continuously .

Ye Zhen’s swordsmanship is exquisite . Dazzling, chaotic sword rays surfaced and left one afterimage after another in the air

Faced with such a powerful, concentrated offensive, Shui Yuner only waved Phecda lightly . Each of her sword strikes are much clearer than Ye Zhen’s . In other words, she can’t swing a sword as fast as Ye Zhen .

In spite of this, Shui Yuner still sees through all of Ye Zhen’s movements and accurately neutralizes all threats .

This scene proves that Shui Yuner’s skill in swordsmanship is higher than Ye Zhen’s .

But is this possible? It hasn’t been long since Shui Yuner joined the temple, and she hasn’t even reached the Human Realm . Can she rival a Heaven Realm master who immersed himself in swordsmanship for decades in terms of swordsmanship? Impossible .

This strength far beyond Shui Yuner’s level is definitely provided by Phecda .

Phecda is manipulating Shui Yuner’s body to fight! Xue Qilin knows this without thinking .

However, it’s impossible to display the strength far beyond your limit without a price – physical strength, health, and even life .

Besides, what worries Xue Qilin even more is that Phecda will destroy Shui Yuner’s soul . Xue Qilin has no way to judge this . She can only hope that things won’t go too far .

When Shui Yuner and Ye Zhen passed each other again, a blood flower spattered .

“Ugh…!”

Ye Zhen whose arm was injured by Phecda groaned .

What am I doing? This isn’t the time to space out and waver! Xue Qilin roused and secretly scolded herself . Although she isn’t entirely at fault for this, but she has to shoulder a large part of the responsibility .

Moreover, she must also take responsibility for rescuing Shui Yuner from Phecda .

Little Yun is waiting for you, Xue Qilin! What are you doing spacing out here! The lass slapped her cheecks with both hands to clear her mind .

All she needs to think about and care about is “how to save Shui Yuner” .

“Wait for me, Little Yun! I’m going to save you at once!”

Xue Qilin made up her mind and got rid of the irrelevant thoughts .

“However…”

As her big sleeves were lifted by the wind, Xue Qilin’s eyes shimmering dimly brightened, and her exquisite lips opened and closed, spitting flame tongues .

The girl raised a corner of her mouth .

“Disobedient children have to be taught a lesson!”

In the next moment, she waved her big sleeve .

Along the trajectory of the edge of the sleeve slashing in the air, flame arrows appeared out of thin air .

“Flying Flames!”

Following the command, the flame arrows shot out .

Appearing to have discovered it beforehand, Ye Zhen flipped his body in the air and retreated through a gap between the flame arrows .

Facing the flame arrows that suddenly intruded into the battlefield, Shui Yuner’s smile deepened .

“You really want to kill me . ”

As if slicing open the air, Shui Yuner lifted Phecda and slashed gently at the empty space in front of her . .

Bang bang bang bang bang…

Along with successive explosive sounds, the flame arrows turned into specks of fire swirling in the air .

Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Zhen circled behind Shui Yuner and jabbed with his sword at the wrist of Shui Yuner’s hand holding the sword . Sensing it with her incredible intuition, she turned around and sent a kick . Ye Zhen pulled his sword to block the attack, yet he was still sent flying by the kick .

After repelling Ye Zhen, Shui Yuner kicked off the ground and rushed towards Xue Qilin .

“Too late!”

Xue Qilin has already completed the preparations .

Flames emerged around Xue Qilin, entangled into two flame streams, and formed a whirlpool of flames above the lass’s head .

“Thunder Flame Dragon…!”

The speed of the red lotus like whirlpool accelerated, and a dragon head emerged from its center .

“… No . 3!”

The flame dragon opened its mouth and fired three fireballs in a row .

Shui Yuner has no intention of evading . With a speed that eyes cannot keep up with, she slashed the fireballs in two . The fireballs cut in half disappeared with the wind .

However, Xue Qilin has expected this much .

“Thunder Flame Dragon No . 7!”

The dragon issued a silent roar, and then struggled to pull its body out of the whirlpool . The terrifying heat evaporated the moisture in the surroundings .

After turning in midair, it immediately bit at Shui Yuner rushing towards its master .

Even Ye Zhen can’t take this fierce attack lightly .

“A worm?”

Shui Yuner snorted, and Phecda in her hand glowed with dazzling light .

Then she tapped her foot lightly and slapped the flame dragon on the lower jaw with Phecda . This way, the trajectory of the dragon was changed, and it passed above the girl’s head .

This is what is known as a huge return for a small investment .

Xue Qilin watched the sword tip that touched her boundary effortlessly with an incredulous look in her eyes .

Having said that, Xue Qilin still reacted immediately and prevented the other party from advancing further . She waved Empyrean Universe to block the attack .

Ding! The sharp sound almost pierced the eardrums .

At the same time, a tremendous force erupted . Xue Qilin left two long skid marks on the ground, and then retreated by several steps .

What strange force! Xue Qilin was shocked .

At this time, Shui Yuner was already right in front of her eyes .

“Little Yun, wake up!”

Xue Qilin called urgently .

Shui Yuner moved close to Xue Qilin’s ear and exhaled a warm breath .

“I’m going to kill you . ”

“Phecda, you…”

Without giving Xue Qilin the opportunity to speak, Shui Yuner sent a palm towards the other party’s shoulder .

Faced with danger, Xue Qilin humphed and prompted Empyrean Universe to change into the big shield – the Shield of Black Tortoise form . The sword blade expanded and blocked Shui Yuner’s palm in a flash .

A dull sound accompanied by an impact shook the petite lass and sent her flying .

A sense of imbalance gripped the lass .

Xue Qilin had just hurriedly adjusted her posture in the air, when the water-colored figure burst into her field of vision and chopped out with her sharp sword .

So fast! Xue Qilin’s eyes widened . Without enough time to place her sword in front of her, she could only use her domain to repel Phecda and finally resolve the fatal blow at the cost of a small gush on her arm .

However, Shui Yuner’s attack isn’t over yet .

“Go and die, will you?”

Shui Yuner seized this opportunity to circle behind Xue Qilin, and Phecda radiated dazzling light again .

“…!”

Dammit! Xue Qilin only had time to turn her head . Shui Yuner’s movement speed is too fast .

In the nick of time, a sword slashed before Shui Yuner’s eyes at an alarming speed . She immediately stepped back without hesitation .

“Apologies for disturbing your sophisticated interest . ”

Ye Zhen blocked behind Xue Qilin and made a not particularly funny joke in a bland tone .

But the tense mood eased a little .

Xue Qilin quickly realized that Ye Zhen’s joke was an attempt to alleviate the pressure brought by the severe fight .

At the same time, this also serves to pacify the killing intent that emerged spontaneously during the fight .

“You saved me!”

Xue Qilin turned around, and then floated in the air side by side with Ye Zhen .

If Ye Zhen hadn’t arrived in time, she would have to suffer a lot .

“You want to use numbers to bully me?”

Shui Yuner tilted his head .

Then she smiled sweetly, at ease .

“Fine, I’ll just kill you both in one go and save time . ”

“Little Zhen, my disciple boasts that she’ll fight the both of us at the same time . What do you think?”

Even though her forehead is drenched in cold sweat, but she still teased harmlessly .

“Spank her . ”

Ye Zhen gave a brief answer .

Unexpectedly, Little Zhen is a little humorous . Xue Qilin wrinkled her nose .

“Little Yun, did you hear? You have been surrounded by Little Zhen and me . If you know what’s good for you, then drop the sword and surrender at once, and I’ll spank you a few less times!”

When the intensity of a fight breaks through to a certain threshold, it is inevitable that killing intent will arise .

In order to avoid this, Xue Qilin made a joke .

… Don’t let yourself sink into the impulse to kill .

She doesn’t want to hurt Shui Yuner anymore .

“You’re not just a liar, but an idiot as well . ”

Shui Yuner chuckled and launched another attack .
