Chapter 214: Attack and Kill

Translator: JL  Editor: CakeHermit

Shi Xueman was caught in a tough battle .

The nine-trace blood cat’s speed was as fast as lightning . Shi Xueman barely managed to keep up by giving it her all . Furthermore, the nine-trace blood cat’s agility also far surpassed hers . If not for the constant changes in [Hydromancy], she would have been in an even worse predicament .

The nine-trace blood cat was different from the other opponents she’d met before . It was nimbler and smarter . Cirrus was unable to play a big role here .

She had to increase the speed at which she used her spear .

Having gone through generations of developments, [Hydromancy] was currently a wide-ranging and profound training system . Each family’s absolute art was not formed in a day, but instead consisted of countless years of hard work by the family members .

The Shi Family still kept with the ancient tradition of being regulated by the clan elders . The numerous clan elders from each generation were commanded by the oldest clan elder . The clan elders usually pay no attention to the affairs of the world, neither do they participate in family affairs . Instead, their sole mission was to constantly develop the absolute arts . They had different specialities . Using the family’s resources, they made use of their gifts and dedicated their entire lifetimes to nurturing [Hydromancy] .

The accumulation of knowledge throughout the generations caused [Hydromancy] to constantly expand . It was like a deep-rooted tree with many branches . Some branches that might look unremarkable would actually be a clan elder’s lifetime’s creation .

The spear move that Shi Xueman was using was called [Cloud Whale] . It was created by an clan elder who roamed around the world three hundred years ago . It was not the best amongst all the moved in [Hydromancy], but it was her favorite and she had thrown herself into it . It was also because of this that her father had hunted down a humpback cloud whale to create Cirrus for her .

[Cloud Whale] was not known for being lithe and graceful . Shi Xueman experienced a strain when she met with the nine-trace blood cat .

Before today, she would have definitely been at a loss when meeting with such a formidable opponent . Now, she had slowly learned to battle . While she was unable to come up with a counter attack, she did not panic . Instead, she gave her all and tried her best to contend against the nine-trace blood cat .

At that moment, she heard a loud bang .

The sudden explosion of air surging and hissing shocked everyone present .

Not just her, the sudden sound caused even the nine-trace blood cat to jolt in shock . Shi Xueman witnessed a stunning scene . There was a crack that resembled an over fifty-meter diameter circular cobweb . From a bird’s eye view, it looked like a blossoming flower .

In the centre of the blossoming flower was a youth holding a long sword guarding against the teeth of the nine-trace blood lizard . The diffusion of air waves blew around a huge amount of grey dust, like a retreating grey wave .

Shi Xueman stood blankly for a moment . Just from that explosion of strength, she could determine how terrifying the nine-trace blood lizard’s attack was; however, Ai Hui had managed to block it off . Ai Hui’s figure was puny and his shirt was tattered and unclean . He looked like a mess, yet, his small figure stood upright . This was a scene that stirred their hearts and brought many to astonishment .

This chap… Hadn’t he failed finishing the Eight Palaces Completion?

How had he managed to block that attack?

This chap…

Unlike Shi Xueman, Duanmu Huanghun was situated at a better location and witnessed the entire process . After the surge of air had swept away, he saw the upright Ai Hui and the nine-trace blood lizard which was unable to move even an inch . It was as if Duanmu Huanghun had just gulped some strong spirits .

His handsome face became flushed as if he were drunk .

A sense of excitement and an intent to battle that was hard to put into words led to an uncontrollable tremble . Every inch of his skin was burning up . The raging inferno lit up the wasteland .

His blood was raging under that strong inferno . His heart was churning with the strong intent to battle . He wanted to look up into the sky and blow a long whistle .

His fists were tightly clenched and his nails turned white from the pressure . His trembling was like an electric current spreading throughout his whole body . He strongly restrained himself .

Because this was a magnificent performance by Ai Hui and not him, Duanmu Huanghun .

In that moment, his long, narrow eyes glinted with a strange yet frantic ray . Unconsciously, he licked his pale lips . This was a battle that he was looking forward to . This was the glory that he had been waiting for .

He narrowed his eyes and rushed towards the nine-trace blood fox .

Fatty’s loud howls were as if a wolf had bitten him on his rear .

Jiang Wei was the first to react . Releasing an arrow from his bow, he screamed and ran towards the nine-trace blood lizard .

Only then, did the others start to react .

Holding on to the Golden Silk Longbow, Sang Zhijun placed four sharp arrows close together . A ray of light flashed past her eyes . The four arrows swiftly blended into one and became a brilliant ray of light .

The nine-trace blood lizard was in a pathetic state . Its force had been met with force and it had received a tremendous impact . While it was still in a state of bewilderment, it was met with countless of attacks and was placed in a dangerous and difficult situation .

Furthermore, as the red glow surrounding its body had dispersed, all these attacks landed solidly on its body .

The rays immediately swallowed up the nine-trace blood lizard . It started to tremble violently and its disintegrated scales spattered around .

As Ai Hui was in close proximity to the nine-trace blood lizard, everyone withheld their attacks for fear of affecting Ai Hui . Nevertheless, the waves of attacks inflicted serious damage on the nine-trace blood lizard . Its scales were all over the place and its body was badly mangled . Black smoke was rising in spirals . It took the most hits on its abdomen, where there was now a thumb-sized hole out of which blood was flowing out . Sang Zhijun and Jiang Wei’s masterpiece . Jiang Wei’s arrow had cut open the nine-trace blood lizard’s scales and Sang Zhijun’s Arrow Fusion Technique had landed on the exact same spot, piercing through the nine-trace blood lizard’s abdomen .

The nine-trace blood lizard displayed extraordinary vitality . Even though it looked battered and exhausted, it didn’t look any less threatening . Its initially cold eyes had now become scarlet red . Its eyes contained a fury that caused heart palpitations .

It gave a loud snarl . Not only did it not retreat, it brazenly tore at Ai Hui . The densely packed teeth sent chills through the people watching . The teeth were like huge metal shears and the thick neck contained a formidable brute force . Even before the nine-trace blood lizard had gone through the blood transformation, it had easily bitten a bison to death . The bison’s huge body had been snapped in half by the lizard’s teeth .

Now it was even stronger and its teeth was sharper and harder . Even if there was a thick steel bar blocking its way, it could still break it effortlessly .

It looked like the nine-trace blood lizard was going to bite Ai Hui . Ai Hui moved .

He was so fast, his movements were a blur . The nine-trace blood lizard’s vision blurred and a violent pain exploded in its mouth . Its tongue was like a blood ball that burst into a bloody mist . Blood started to immediately flow out of its mouth, which had become filled with the taste of fresh blood . It was the taste of its own blood .

It had never before experienced such intense pain . It retreated . The pain controlled the blood-traced lizard’s movements . It tumbled around on the floor to relief the pain, but to no avail . Fresh blood continued to flow out through the gaps in its remaining teeth . Its head constantly knocked on the floor . The floor quaked and stones shattered and flew .

Sang Zhijun and the rest reacted much faster this time . Different forms of attacks were thrown towards the nine-trace blood lizard . Many arrows and rays of light enveloped the blood-traced lizard in a split instant .

Without any restraints, the people threw in all their might and attacked like crazy .

They did not dare to stop and they did not bother to conserve their elemental energy . If they did not grasp hold of this opportunity, any future attack from the nine-trace blood lizard could very well cause many deaths and casualties .

Facing such a blood-traced fiend, they were not in a position to conserve their elemental energy . The fact that they could act with their elemental energy was already a good outcome .

Only after they had expended all their elemental energy and poured it onto the nine-trace blood lizard, did they stop their attacks .

Everyone was panting for breath .

The nine-trace blood lizard laid motionless and everyone exhaled in unison .

This round of attacks was fatal to the nine-trace blood lizard . No matter how strong its will to live was, it could not bear those crazy attacks from all over the place .

The poor nine-trace blood lizard did not have a single piece of intact flesh on its body .

"It should be dead by now?" Fatty asked apprehensively .

The yellow ray in Lou Lan’s eyes flickered . "Yes, it is dead . "

Fatty gave a long exhale . After a moment, he asked anxiously, "Is Ai Hui alright?"

Lou Lan tilted his head . "Ai Hui is in a strange condition . Lou Lan is also unable to differentiate, however, he has no injuries . Let’s not disturb Ai Hui . He needs to break away from that state of mind by himself . "

"As long as he is not injured . " Fatty’s gaze relaxed . Thinking back to his pathetic state, he pleaded, "Lou Lan, do not tell Ai Hui I fled . "

"Why not?" Lou Lan widened his eyes . "Fatty was very brave . "

"It is no use being brave . " Fatty’s face was filled with grief and indignance . Could being brave reduce the amount of training? No!

If Ai Hui found out about this, what would await him would be countless training assignments .

The current training assignments that Ai Hui designed could cause Fatty to whine for days . Thinking back, life was better in the Wilderness . Ai Hui did not know then what training was . Otherwise, he definitely would not have had a chance to leave the Wilderness .

Not as a result of being eaten up by the dire beasts; instead, he would have worked to death doing Ai Hui’s training .

Looking at his fat, Fatty was filled with grief and indignation . He has lost weight from all the training .

"Was the blood crystal destroyed by us?" Sang Zhijun asked worriedly . The blood crystal was even more important than money .

"Nope, just hand it over to Lou Lan!" Lou Lan said happily and confidently . He transformed into a sandstorm and rushed toward the mangled nine-trace blood lizard . The sandstorm wrapped around the blood-traced lizard and the flesh was quickly stripped off to expose the white bones .

The sandstorm rotated constantly until only shattered bones remain .

The sandstorm returned to everyone and transformed back into Lou Lan .

Ding, ding, ding .

A melodious chime could be heard . Lou Lan was holding a few more blood crystals . After checking, he happily announced, "These blood crystals’ quality is even better than before!"

The students cheered in unison .

Soon enough, their gazes fell on the remaining two who were still in the midst of battle .

Fatty stared for a moment before slapping his thigh and shouting, "Hey! Lure the monster over and let Ai Hui kill it!"

Sang Zhijun and the rest of the students’ eyes brightened . Fatty’s idea was good . Given Ai Hui’s puppet-like state, no matter what rushed towards him, he would kill it without a second thought . Shi Xueman and Duanmu Huanghun only needed to guard at the side . They could strike when the opportunity arises and it would be easier for them to gain victory .

Fatty’s shout immediately triggered the two’s anger .

Shi Xueman looked on coldly . To get help from that scoundrel? My goodness .

The craze in Duanmu Huanghun’s eyes became stronger . To be defeated by Ai Hui? Dream on .
