Chapter 14: Skirt of the Goddess (Part 2)
She resists the attacks in a lazy manner, always maintain the equilibrium of allowing herself to be harmed to the extend where not only she is not fatally injured but also allowing her soul powers to increase exponentially. The golden carvings cover her body. They glow in the dim lighting; the flow resembling golden distributaries.
Ni Hong stands a close distance from them. At this moment, Thalia has rushed after Lianquan towards the depths of the island and so there is only Ni Hong to counter the millions of soul beasts. However, it is obvious that Thalia is very aware of his true abilities, which makes her leave restfully. Or should we say, the one that we should be worried about are these soul beasts that are on the brink of insanity. Because to a certain extent, Ni Hong is no different from a beast. In face, he is even more cold-blooded, more cruel and more territorial than any beast. Looking from Qi Ling and Youhuas location, although the soul beasts have tremendous forces, but when compared to Ni Hong, they seem to be doddering. As Ni Hong is much too fast, it is as if countless bolts of orange lightning are flashing across the sky. What these bolts of lightning leave behind are the bodies of soul beasts being torn into countless pieces. The blood of the beasts that fall from the sky covers Ni Hong, turning him into a mass-murding devil. And yet, the innocent tenderness and lost pureness remains on his face. His angel-like features even makes Tianshu Youhua feel for him, His attacks are the most direct and most primitive. Even godly-leveled soul weapons like the Skirt of the Goddess cant hold up against this kind of direct attacks. She stares at Ni Hongs typhoon-like stance at destroying the incoming soul beasts as she tells Qi Ling.
When the herd of beast bypass Ni Hong, they charge towards Qi La. However, after getting through Nether, Shen Yin and Ni Hong, these two lines of defense, the combat capacity of these soul beasts have diminished, and even the numbers dwindled from carpeting the skies to the sporadic few. And so, when Qi La unleashes his unrivaled array beneath his feet, all the soul beasts that rush into its vicinity suddenly becomes sleepwalking monsters in slow motion. Qi Las movements are still light and agile, his moves are precise and at east. His handsome features as if gifted by the heavens, coupled with his stable and quick, dance-like movements causes Qi Ling and Youhua to stare at him in awe.
Is thisthe legendary abilities of the previous Top Lord? This is so terrifying Tianshu Youhua is dumbfounded.
Lastly, the soul beasts that rush towards Yin Chen are defeated easily by the variety of soul weapons that Yin Chen carelessly puts into his hands. Qi Ling watches as Yin Chen twists his body and pulls a crystal clear thin sword out from the sleeves of his long robe. Through the process of thrusting this blade into the herd of soul beasts, in the blink of an eye, the sword splits into two, four, and an array of swords fill the space between the heavens and earth like a large school of deep sea whitebait swimming at lightning speed, leaving behind blood and flesh in their wake. Unstoppable. When they turn to return to Yin Chen, they fuse together one by one and finally in its original state, Yin Chen puts it away. Qi Ling cries out: Yin Chen! Id never look down on you again! Its no wonder youre the Grand Angel!
Tianshu Youhua looks at the hyperactive Qi Ling beside her before turning to look at Yin Chen who seems to be standing on a hill of soul weapon treasures. Surprised, she thinks, Yin Chens whereabouts for the past few years has always been strange, almost no one can contact him. Unless in the past few years, hes been constantly gathering various soul weapons that have been lost in the realm since the ancient times? If that is the case, then his actual strength is horrifyingin addition, no one knows if these soul weapons are currently empty or if they are already inhabited by unknown soul beasts. Tianshu Youhuas face ashen as she thinks about this.
Occasionally, one or two heavily wounded soul beasts manage to break through the layers upon layers of web casted by elite of soul bending in the world and barely manage to appear before Qi Ling and Tianshu Youhua. Tianshu Youhua scoffs coldly before turning to bring out her large bow. With a few loud smacks, three sharp arrows of ice appear in her hands. The soul beasts moving in from the distance drops the instant Tianshu Youhua releases the bowstring. Later on, Tianshu Youhua even realizes that she need not even take action herself. When soul beasts flew into the territory of the skirt, one of the silk strands will flow gently towards the beasts. The moment the silk comes into contact with the soul beasts, it morphs into a ball of white mist before dissipating in the air. Tianshu Youhua bites down her surprise as she stares at the few dozen large pieces of silk cloth surrounding Qi Ling and her.
They seem to be no threat at all Qi Ling lets out a sigh of relief before putting down his half-blade sword and sticking it into the ground beside his feet.
Youre thinking of it much too simply. Youre underestimating the gift of the Fifth Lord and disciple. Look into the distance at that dense concentration of soul beasts. The ones youve just witnessed are only the first wave of the weakest ones. Have you ever calculated how many soul beasts there are in the surrounding waters Tianshu Youhua stares at the second wave of incoming soul beasts. Her face is pale and her expression is tense.
