Chapter 32: Who Did You Cheat With This Time?
Shang Xia disarmed her without much difficulty. Looking at Shang Xia incredulously, she couldn't believe what just happened. Even Shang Xia found it incredible.
Just several minutes ago, he would be thanking the gods if he could avoid her attack. Blocking it head-on was something he couldn’t imagine! Now, disarming her took a mere flick of his wrist.
He had no idea how much his strength increased after breaking through. Even though he estimated it to be a lot, he wouldn’t have met her attack directly if not for the fact that he was irritated by her actions.
It was at that moment Shang Xia realized that his breakthrough didn’t just give him a slight increase in strength. It made him far stronger than he thought!
The sudden increase in his strength also shocked the female cultivator. Even though she didn’t use her martial intent previously, her knife skills were nothing to scoff at! Her foundations were strong, and she was ready to break through to the Martial Intent Realm at any moment.
Even if she ran into a cultivator who was at the Martial Intent Realm, she would be able to hold her own for quite some time! Unfortunately, Shang Xia’s actions shattered her pride.
Shang Xia couldn’t be bothered with her reaction as he turned to look at the knives on the ground. Seeing the chips on the edges, the corners of his lips twitched violently.
The pair of low-grade weapons was almost as valuable as his Delicate Jade River Sword! However, they looked slightly damaged after their prolonged cat and mouse game.
“When I find a suitable secret art for cultivators in the Martial Extremity Realm, I have to look for a sword cultivation manual too…” Shang Xia whispered to himself.
The reason he damaged the twin knives was because he failed to control his strength. With an appropriate sword manual, he wouldn’t have to use brute force to deal with everything!
When Shang Xia was still cursing himself for destroying her weapons, the female cultivator flew into a fit of rage. She used her martial intent to release a ray of green light towards Shang Xia.
Despite his first instinct to dodge the strike, an absurd idea flashed through his mind. He raised his Delicate River Jade Sword and drew a perfect circle in the air before him.
A wave of Yin Yang Essence Qi emerged from his body, forming the yin yang diagram. When the green light clashed into it, it quickly lost power. The yin yang diagram didn’t stop there. As it started to rotate, the green light was completely nullified by the time it made the fifth rotation.
He might have created the move on the spot, but the results were more than satisfactory. Despite using up a lot of Yin Yang Essence Qi, it was the first time he unleashed the move. After refining his control over it, it would experience an all round increase in capabilities.
Moreover, that was merely an experiment conducted by Shang Xia. After nullifying the female cultivator’s martial intent, his guesses were further solidified. It seemed as though his Yin Yang Essence Qi was very different from the qi used by other cultivators.
Immersing himself in joy, he didn’t notice the change in her eyes. With complicated emotions filling her heart, she turned around to run. How could Shang Xia let her off so easily? She hunted him down the moment he left the convoy, and she left him in such a desperate state. If not for his sudden breakthrough, she would have killed him!
Without hesitation, he ran after her despite knowing that catching up would prove to be difficult.
Regardless, he just wanted her to experience the feeling of being hunted down. He wanted to disgust her by doing what she did to him.
A streak of silver light appeared not too long after he started the chase.
“Oh right, I forgot about this damn bird!” Shang Xia yelled. Despite his cries, he didn’t use his Delicate River Jade Sword. Instead, the Ivory Fan snapped open in his hand.
The Lightning Bird was too damn fast. His eyes couldn’t keep up with the little creature, and it was completely impossible for him to hit it with the sword considering the fact that he wasn’t a sword cultivator in the first place.
He swung the fan to release a strange energy wave that disrupted the Lightning Bird’s flight. Wobbling in the air, it was no longer able to zoom around as it pleased.
When it finally flew out of the area affected by Shang Xia’s strange energy wave, it realized that it was no longer as fast as before.
Watching it glide unsteadily through the air, another ridiculous idea appeared in Shang Xia’s mind. He wanted to capture it alive!
However, a yell came from the side as the female cultivator stood between him and the Lightning Bird. It seemed as though she had chosen to work with the little creature.
“This bitch… I’ll change my surname if I don’t teach her a good lesson!” Shang Xia gnashed his teeth and growled. Of course, being angry was one thing. He didn’t lose his rationality. He didn’t dare to be careless when facing someone at her level even if she had already lost her weapons.
Her graceful movement couldn’t conceal her deadliness as all her strikes went for his vital organs.
The bird wasn’t dumb either. It could tell what the female cultivator’s intentions were, and it started to accelerate in mid air. Releasing a high-pitched cry, it shot towards Shang Xia.
As Shang Xia’s attention was placed on the female cultivator, he had no choice but to throw himself to the side when the silver streak flew towards him.
Adjusting its trajectory mid flight, the bird flew under his arms.
.
Shit!
Realizing what the bird was after, Shang Xia didn’t have time to react as the Lightning Bird tore through the cage hanging on his waist.
With the help of the female cultivator, the Lightning Bird managed to save its lover!
“Chirp chirp!”
Shang Xia’s expression changed when the Mutated Rain Swallow was freed. However, he didn’t have the luxury to care about that as the female cultivator increased the intensity of her attacks. She attacked him without a care for her life and managed to force him back slightly.
Even though Shang Xia’s Yin Yang Essence Qi possessed many miraculous qualities, he hadn’t cultivated any techniques or martial arts related to it! He could only use his Chaos Essence Palm and Lightning Palm to repel her strikes.
With his strength greatly restricted, he could only watch on as the Mutated Rain Swallow flew into the air.
“Chirp chirp!”
The Lightning Bird landed on one of the trees around them. Flapping its wings happily, it seemed to be expressing its excitement.
“Hehe, If I can’t obtain the Mutated Rain Swallow, you can’t either.” The female cultivator sneered. It was clear that her actions were all for the sake of annoying Shang Xia.
As the corners of his lips arched upwards, Shang Xia didn’t bother replying. Lightning formed on his palm as he unleashed his Chaos Essence Lightning Palm.
Caught off guard, she retreated instantly. To her surprise, a shocking change happened the moment he released the bolt of lightning. The Mutated Rain Swallow that was freed tried to leave his side, but found it difficult to do so.
Streams of qi emerged from his body and they swirled around him in a strange motion, and they sapped the energy of those trapped within. The Mutated Rain Swallow was no exception as it flapped its wings desperately.
At the same time, the bolt of lightning that scared off the female cultivator seemed to interest the bird. It flew back into Shang Xia’s hand and it narrowed its eyes. A look of enjoyment soon formed on its face. Enjoying the tingling sensation running through its body, it ignored the cries of the Lighting Bird on the tree nearby.
The female cultivator looked at the Mutated Rain Swallow before turning to the Lightning Bird. “This… This… This… You’re committing adultery!”
“What are you even talking about?!” Shang Xia raised his Ivory Fan and threw it at her.
Yelling in terror, she leaped to the side.
Too bad for her, the distance between them was too small for her to escape the strike completely. She only managed to avoid letting it hit her vital organs.
Cutting through her robes, a long wound formed on the side of her belly. The pain caused her snowy white breasts to shake violently.
Shang Xia was stunned for a solid second as he stared directly at them.
“You… You hooligan!” She pointed at Shang Xia and screamed with rage, but her actions only caused the tear in her clothes to grow larger. She retracted her hand instantly.
When that went down, the Lightning Bird whose lover was ‘shamelessly’ stolen by Shang Xia cried out in rage and shot towards Shang Xia.
In its fit of rage, it failed to notice that the female cultivator wasn’t in a state to give it assistance.
Shoving the Mutated Rain Swallow into his sleeves, Shang Xia drew his Delicate Jade River Sword and drew a perfect circle in mid air.
Changing directions mid air, the Lightning Bird managed to avoid the edge of the blade. However, it crashed straight into the chaotic flow of energy around it. Struggling desperately to keep itself in flight, several feathers dropped from its body.
