Chapter 97: The Weaver of the Sun Returns
“?”
At the bottom of the Wind Valley cliff, in the deep abyss carved by giant fist prints…
The Tyrant Demon Seed looked down at the green figure that had suddenly sprouted from the ground beside its feet, its eyes widening in surprise.
After a moment of stunned silence, it carefully stepped on the figure.
Pop!
A sound like a bursting balloon, and a splatter of… vibrant green… innards.
Casually flicking away the strangely colored gore, the silver rabbit twitched its nose, its bloodlust intensifying.
Just as it was about to approach the blue-haired girl…
Splat—
Another green figure emerged from the ground beneath its feet. The silver rabbit froze, staring at the new arrival.
Ah, I’m dead. Wait, I’m not dead yet!
Bang!
Bang, bang, bang!!
The silver rabbit began frantically stomping on the green figures popping up around it like a demented game of whack-a-mole. The Wrathful Saintess, in turn, increased the speed at which her clones appeared, creating a flickering, afterimage-like effect.
Watching this bizarre and comical scene, a slight twitch disturbed the Sorrowful Saintess’s otherwise expressionless face, a flicker of amusement that, on her, looked more like a grimace of pain.
“Hey.”
A voice from below startled the blue-haired girl, and she looked down.
Luo Kuxin’s head was poking out from the ground beneath her feet. This time, it wasn’t an illusory green form, but her actual body.
“I’m trying to buy you some time. Aren’t you going to charge up your ultimate move?”
“Huh?” Gong Lianyue was taken aback.
Ultimate move? She didn’t have any ultimate moves…
As the two Saintesses whispered, the silver rabbit, seemingly annoyed by the endless stream of green “moles,” increased the force of its stomps, sending dirt and debris flying with each impact.
“Fine, let me handle it. Just buy me one minute, okay?” Luo Kuxin urged, her voice filled with anxiety as her clones were slaughtered.
“One minute? One minute, huh? Alright…”
Gong Lianyue hesitantly glanced at the silver rabbit. Stalling the Tyrant Demon Seed for a minute without a Saint-rank spirit beast… It seemed she would have to rely on luck.
The only good news was that the Tyrant Demon Seed wasn’t releasing any Saint-rank aura suppression. The Nine-Colored Cloud Dream Flower could maintain its composure and full strength.
Boom!!!
The silver rabbit landed another powerful stomp, the earth shaking, cracks spreading for hundreds of meters.
Instantly, all traces of the green clones vanished.
The Tyrant Demon Seed slowly turned its head, its blood-red eyes fixated on the two delicate girls before it.
A thick, almost tangible, bloodlust washed over them, making their scalps tingle.
However, at this critical moment, Luo Kuxin closed her eyes, a serene expression on her face, as if she had given up all hope of survival, praying only for a quick and painless death, preferably with her body intact.
As she closed her eyes, the spirit energy around her dissipated, and she became like an ordinary, defenseless village girl.
Gong Lianyue felt a cold sweat trickling down her back. The Wrathful Saintess actually trusted her this much, even recalling her spirit beast.
Doing this during a battle was like stripping naked in public.
And now, she had to face this ferocious beast alone for a whole minute…
The blood-soaked silver rabbit was only ten meters away, a distance it could cross in the blink of an eye.
Gong Lianyue swallowed hard, her heart pounding, forcing herself to meet the rabbit’s gaze.
This wasn’t a suicidal act, but a calculated gamble.
Closing her eyes, then opening them—
The Sorrowful Saintess’s second form, [Show-Off Form], activated!!!
In an instant, her cold, teardrop eyes overflowed, turning a shimmering, ocean-like blue, a calm and ethereal gaze, like a deity possessing her body.
Seeing this, the Tyrant Demon Seed paused, its ferocious advance faltering, seemingly intimidated.
Now!
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A blazing sun, incinerating everything.
Like a miniature sun falling from the sky, a scorching white light erupted, engulfing the sky and earth in flames.
A crimson figure quickly materialized, swirling flames forming a massive, fiery fox.
Two slender, crimson fox tails, like ribbons, swayed gently, holding aloft a giant fireball. With the scorching fireball as its epicenter, everything in sight was engulfed and consumed by the flames, waves of intense heat washing outwards.
[Possessing the Divine – Bloodbath Fox Sovereign, Weaver of the Sun]
“Coo, coo, coo, coo, coo?”
Seeing the massive Flame Fox emerge from the inferno, the silver rabbit stumbled back, its eyes wide with shock, letting out a series of confused chirps.
The Sorrowful Saintess’s divine eyes, combined with the terrifying, sun-like presence of the Bloodbath Fox Sovereign, completely overwhelmed the Tyrant Demon Seed.
“Is this… really the Tyrant Demon Seed…?”
However, Gong Lianyue was puzzled.
Not only was it not radiating a Saint-rank aura, but this silver rabbit wasn’t displaying the earth-shattering power He Daoqi had described, the power to shatter a valley with a single punch.
Could it be… that it was actually just a high-rank spirit beast, its strength honed through countless battles?
Had the Iron Jade Ice Scorpion lost simply because she was at a lower level? If they were both at the Dead Sea Stage, the outcome might have been different…
Realizing this, Gong Lianyue breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was just an ordinary, Dead Sea Stage, high-rank spirit beast, the Cloud Dream Flower could easily suppress and defeat it. She had been worried for nothing!
Suddenly, the silver rabbit’s panicked expression vanished, replaced by a chilling indifference.
Facing the terrifying Bloodbath Fox Sovereign, it casually swung its arm, a seemingly weak and effortless punch.
Gong Lianyue froze. The fiery illusion of the Cloud Dream Flower began to fade, dissipating like dust.
The heat, the ground, the trees, the cliff face—everything crumbled into dust, a swirling sandstorm obscuring her vision.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A delayed, deafening sonic boom, the terrifying force of the punch carving a massive gash in the valley, the surrounding spirit energy distorting chaotically.
The fully recovered Iron Jade Ice Scorpion shielded the two girls with its massive, armored body, absorbing the full force of the impact.
Hidden behind the scorpion, Gong Lianyue’s water-blue hair whipped wildly around her, her eyes wide with shock.
Thirty seconds remained of the time Luo Kuxin had promised her…
Chapter 98: The Seven-Foot Sword Princess Flower
30 seconds!
29 seconds—
At the bottom of the abyss, watching the silver rabbit slowly approach, Gong Lianyue felt her blood run cold.
That punch… it had been different from the others, its power utterly devastating.
And yet, the rabbit still hadn’t released any Saint-rank aura. It was like a… lifeless puppet.
Seeing the massive scorpion standing before it again, the silver rabbit grinned, a chilling crescent moon smile.
Without hesitation, it lunged forward.
“It’s over, it’s all over…”
Despair filled Gong Lianyue’s heart. The Iron Jade Ice Scorpion had only lasted two seconds before. It couldn’t possibly withstand the rabbit for another twenty.
This rabbit’s power was far beyond her comprehension, a terrifying being she couldn’t possibly defeat.
The silver rabbit reached the scorpion, the two facing each other, neither yielding.
Bang!!
A flash of silver, a blur of motion. The rabbit, grinning, punched the scorpion’s head with impossible speed.
The impact sent dust and debris flying, a sharp, metallic clang echoing, like grinding teeth.
As the dust settled, Gong Lianyue’s eyes widened in disbelief, the rabbit’s grin fading.
The Iron Jade Ice Scorpion stood motionless, its body covered in a shimmering, jade-like film, like a frozen fossil.
[Battle Technique – Jade Shatter]
Like a piece of polished jade, its shimmering, crystalline armor glowed beautifully in the darkness.
Had the battle technique’s proficiency increased…?
Seeing this, the silver rabbit’s face contorted in anger, its fist clenching.
The next second, it unleashed a flurry of punches, faster than a rabbit in heat, a storm of blows raining down upon the scorpion.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!!!
The earth trembled, the valley walls and floor shattering, the deafening barrage almost bursting her eardrums.
The silver rabbit, in a frenzy, continued its relentless assault, the dust and debris obscuring everything.
Gong Lianyue frantically shifted her eye form, her icy gaze piercing through the dust cloud, finally seeing the battle clearly.
The Iron Jade Ice Scorpion, under the rabbit’s relentless assault, its jade armor cracking and shattering, remained unmoved, not retreating a single step.
Boom!!!
With a final, resounding crash, the scorpion’s jade armor shattered completely as it was sent flying by a powerful blow.
Thud!
The silver rabbit, its face still contorted in rage, was about to pursue when its knee buckled, and it collapsed before the blue-haired girl.
A black wound, spreading like a virus, had appeared on its left foot.
[Five-Leaf Clover]
As the Iron Jade Ice Scorpion was sent flying, its tail had lashed out, piercing the rabbit’s foot.
The rapidly spreading, corrosive poison melted the rabbit’s lower leg, forcing it to kneel before the Sorrowful Saintess, a gesture of submission.
Both Gong Lianyue and the silver rabbit froze, staring at each other for ten seconds, the same amount of time the Iron Jade Ice Scorpion had managed to withstand its attacks.
The potent, incurable poison seemed to be of little concern to the rabbit.
Its focus was on the fact that it was kneeling before this blue-haired girl.
A humiliation so profound, it was a greater offense than killing its father…
The rabbit’s adorable face twisted grotesquely, a demonic rage, an unimaginable killing intent radiating from its body.
Although not a Saint-rank, this twisted bloodlust was enough to terrify even ordinary high-rank spirit beasts.
3 seconds!!
Thanks to the Iron Jade Ice Scorpion’s sudden awakening, and the rabbit’s momentary lapse in focus, she had made it!
Recalling the injured scorpion, Gong Lianyue looked down at the silver rabbit with a cold, mocking smile, her expression filled with disdain.
“…”
“…”
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM
A terrifying roar, the rabbit’s bloodshot eyes filled with rage, as it unleashed a punch from its kneeling position.
This punch was even more powerful than the one that had shattered the Weaver of the Sun’s illusion, the entire valley trembling under its force.
However, the Sorrowful Saintess’s pitying expression remained unchanged, as if lamenting the rabbit’s foolishness.
Bang—
The rabbit’s terrifyingly powerful fist struck an ice-blue core, a sickening crunch echoing, a sonic boom, a shockwave.
But this time, it didn’t budge.
The Water Element Commander’s life core floated in the air, its icy shell undamaged.
Time’s up. Recalling the core, Gong Lianyue turned away, her movements casual and elegant, not even sparing the silver rabbit a glance.
Meanwhile, Luo Kuxin, slowly opening her eyes, looked back and forth between the stunned rabbit and the unharmed blue-haired girl, a strange expression on her face.
Gong Lianyue, suppressing her trembling, walked over to Luo Kuxin.
“What were you doing?”
“What?”
“Don’t play innocent! Where’s your ultimate move?!”
Gong Lianyue’s heart pounded as she looked at the unresponsive green-haired girl.
She had thought they were safe, but she had been betrayed by her own teammate! This woman didn’t have any ultimate move!
Or so she thought…
Hearing the Sorrowful Saintess’s angry question, Luo Kuxin smiled mysteriously and looked towards the distant horizon.
Not just her, but the silver rabbit, still kneeling on one knee, also looked up, its expression serious.
What was there?
Gong Lianyue slowly raised her head, her teardrop eyes widening in disbelief.
Whoosh————
A piercing sound, a dazzling pink meteor streaking across the sky from the distant horizon, heading straight towards them.
The falling meteor accelerated, breaking the sound barrier, the shockwave echoing through the Wind Valley, pink sparks scattering everywhere.
As the pink meteor grew larger in the rabbit’s eyes, it finally saw what it was.
A streak of cherry blossom sword energy, originating from the entrance to the Wind Valley and extending all the way to the bottom of the abyss.
The Seven-Foot Sword Princess Flower, its single sword chilling nineteen realms!
