Chapter 47: Slicing the Head off

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Ma Sixian let out a cold grunt. “You’ll kill all? What big words!”

He was furious. While he refused to show weakness with his words, he did not know how to deal with the siblings of the Lu Clan for the time being.

The poison mist floated toward him after Lu Mingchao’s rope had entangled his massive banner. He could not deal with the situation. He could not sweep the poison mist away with his massive banner.

The damage caused by the poison mist was not severe for the time being. However, it was troublesome. He was a fire-element cultivator. His most remarkable techniques all involved his control over fire. He was slightly countered by a cultivator who had powerful Water Elemental Techniques. Furthermore, the poison mist could also corrode spiritual strength and physical substances. That made it even harder to deal with.

To prevent the poison mist from getting too close to his body, Ma Sixian could only release his spiritual strength. He allowed the poison mist to corrode his spiritual strength to prevent his body from being damaged.

However, this was not a long-term solution. He willed his Cleaving Flame Blade, which had been attacking Lu Chaoxi, back toward him. However, the blade was blocked by Lu Chaoxi’s flying sword on its way back.

Since Lu Mingchao was restraining Ma Sixian, he could not inject enough energy into his magic blade. The flames that raged around the area were deflected. Ma Sixian was shaken. He tried his best to establish control over the blade and recall it.

After he effortfully maintained control over the Cleaving Flame Blade, he sent it slicing down toward Lu Mingchao.

Ma Sixian had wanted to force Lu Mingchao to recall her poison mist and magic equipment by sending an attack toward her.

But Lu Mingchao was stubborn...

And intelligent.

She saw that Ma Sixian’s attack had no substance. To protect himself, Ma Sixian had not injected the flaming blade with enough power. Thus, she decided to take the attack head-on.

If not for the fact that her flying sword was too slow, evading the attack was the better choice.

She conjured a Jade Suppression Plate and placed it in front of her.

If Ma Sixian were not afraid of the corrosion of the poison mist or that his massive banner would be snatched away and put his full power into the Cleaving Flame Sword, his attack would have been enough to send Lu Mingchao flying together with the Jade Suppression Plate.

However, he did not dare to do that.

Thus, his flame blade did not shatter the Jade Suppression Plate. The impact was mitigated.

Ma Sixian launched another attack when he saw that his first attack failed. He had reached an understanding this time and decided to attack with his full power.

However, at this moment, a familiar bolt of golden lightning flashed past him. This flash of lightning was fiercer than the two that had appeared before.

It was too late for him when he noticed the technique.

“That piece of trash. He allowed Lu Chaoxi to release the Xuanyin Yang Lightning Incantation?!”

Ma Sixian was furious!

He wanted to avoid the attack, but he had nowhere to run. He wanted to activate his massive banner to protect himself but was unable to do so because of the Broken Yin Water Rope.

Thus, the bolt of lightning crashed fiercely onto his body.

The incandescent golden yang-element lightning had appeared in the air. It looked like a shimmering golden sword. The spiritual strength around Ma Sixian was not much better than a piece of soft fabric when it came into contact with the golden lightning. It could not block the golden sword of lightning and was shattered immediately.

The yang-element lightning struck Ma Sixian fiercely. Under the intense pain, Ma Sixian’s vision turned black, and then he felt a strong numbing sensation. He could not even control his spiritual strength and fell from the air.

Lu Mingchao would not miss such an opportunity.

The control over the massive banner landed in the hands of Lu Mingchao. She had grabbed it using the combination of the Water Binding Incantation and the Broken Yin Water Rope. Simultaneously, the thick, dark-green poison mist followed Ma Sixian’s descent like a possessive ghost. It took advantage of the fact that Ma Sixian could not control his spiritual strength to defend himself and manically devoured him. It even entered his body through his nose, mouth, and ears.

By the time he landed on the ground, Ma Sixian had been corroded to the point that he no longer looked human. A good amount of poison mist had entered his body and destroyed him from the inside.

He was not dead, but he definitely could not continue to fight.

On the other side, Lu Chaoxi, who had just used the Xuanyin Yang Lightning Incantation, continued to fight the unaffiliated Foundation Building cultivator.

He had forcefully released his technique and shifted his focus to Ma Sixian just now. While it had achieved excellent results, he also had to pay a heavy price.

Lu Chaoxi’s second Jade Suppression Plate was broken into pieces. The unaffiliated Foundation Building cultivator’s pitch-black shortsword also pierced into Lu Chaoxi’s left shoulder. If not for the fact that he had quickly recalled his flying sword, he might have lost his life.

Without the Jade Suppression Plate, Lu Chaoxi could be burned by the raging fire in the forest.

Luckily for him, the intensity of the flames was not too high. The temperature of the fire was not high enough to cause any severe injuries to a Foundation Building cultivator. It did not threaten his life.

He could use the flying sword to deal with his opponent now that he had recalled it. He would not give the unaffiliated cultivator another chance to get close to him.

Not only was he injured, but also he had expended a large amount of spiritual strength along with the fact that he was battling within a harsh sea of fire...

However, his cultivation level was higher than that of his opponents. It was an eighth-tier Foundation Building cultivator against a sixth-tier Foundation Building cultivator. The difference in ability between these two tiers made it hard for his opponent to defeat him.

Furthermore, the unaffiliated Foundation Building cultivator was not in a good state himself. Not only was the evasion technique-which made his body appear to flicker terrific suddenly-terrific, but also it cost him a great deal of spiritual strength. He had already used the technique three times. He had expended a massive amount of spiritual strength.

Judging from all of these factors, Lu Chaoxi was at a slight disadvantage and thus could protect himself.

The unaffiliated cultivator made several attempts and then had the idea to retreat after he realized that he could not defeat Lu Chaoxi.

They had come as a group of three to attack the Lu Clan, but one of them had been instantly killed. Then, Ma Sixian, who was the strongest of the three, was also killed. The two Foundation Building cultivators of the other party were still around. He would not be able to run even if he wanted to if Lu Mingchao came to join the battle.

However, Lu Chaoxi immediately reversed the situation and took on an offensive position when he sensed that his opponent wanted to retreat.

“Lu Chaoxi, I was wrong today. If you let me leave, I’ll definitely thank you with great gifts in the future!”

“There’s no need. You can leave your life behind!”

The unaffiliated cultivator was fearful. He said with a stern expression, “Don’t go too far! You have nothing to gain if we fight to the death here!”

Lu Chaoxi did not speak. He replied with his flying sword.

On the other side, Lu Mingchao also confirmed that Ma Sixian had died. She came to Lu Chaoxi’s aid.

She formed a hand gesture and cast her Cloud Fog Technique. The thick fog, which contained rich water-element spiritual energy, spread toward the area where Lu Chaoxi was doing battle with the unaffiliated Foundation Building cultivator. She did not use the Cloud-Gathering Poison Conversion Cup. The fog did not carry corrosive poison. Instead, it was filled with rich water-element spiritual energy. It quickly extinguished the flames on the battleground.

The field of white fog was extremely out of place amidst the orange flames. However, it stubbornly existed.

Lu Mingchao continued to exert spiritual strength after she extinguished the flames. She controlled the fog and made it spread out continuously. She also made the fog thicker.

This affected the unaffiliated Foundation Building cultivator’s observational ability. Not only did the fog obstruct his field of vision, but also Lu Mingchao’s water-element spiritual energy within the fog would affect his ability to sense the ripples of Lu Chaoxi’s spiritual strength.

...

Lu Chaoxi and Lu Mingchao knew this well. The Cloud Fog Technique also enhanced the sensory abilities of its allies. That extended to Lu Chaoxi. The fog did not obscure his vision, and it even made him more aware of the situation within the fog.

The unaffiliated cultivator sensed that the situation was disadvantageous for him and accelerated in an attempt to escape. However, while he was running, he became entangled with the Broken Yin Water Rope that had silently snuck up beside him.

His soul had been sealed off. He had not managed to exert his strength and struggle when a flying sword sliced his head clean off.
