Decaying World

Chapter 212 212 Radiance Six

laugh!
The sword net sliced ​​through the entire giant mountain completely, just like a blade slicing through chocolate, easily dividing it into countless small pieces.

The brown-haired old man was surprised that Xia Si could accelerate, and his expression changed drastically. But at this moment, it was a full-force battle between the two sides, and each of them had already staked all their strength.

He had no time to stop or turn around, and could only face the incredibly sharp, raging net of swords head-on.

Swish!
The illusory image of the giant mountain dissipated.

The strong winds subsided.

Two figures crashed to the ground, one kneeling and the other standing.

Both of them were covered in blood.

The difference is that Xia Si is smiling, while the brown-haired old man can no longer show any expression.

His face was a bloody mess, and nothing could be seen.

"What kind of sword technique is this?!" He staggered forward, barely managing to regain his balance.

"Qingfeng Temple, Gale Sword." Xia Siqiang sheathed his sword with a clang.

Behind her, the brown-haired old man collapsed to the ground, with a large amount of blood slowly flowing out from beneath him.

She turned her head and looked at the old man's body.

"Actually, you're already quite good."

"How is this possible?!" Fu Chunxing, the Wan Hua Sect member who was impersonating the local martial arts school Hongfei Sect, retreated repeatedly, his face showing disbelief.

The deputy sect leader of the Fushan Sect, a Grandmaster of the Three Harmonies and a divine summoner, actually lost!?
Fushan Sect is one of the three sects in the inner city. Now, not only has its identity been exposed, but it has also lost a battle!?

Before they made their move, they had already estimated the situation to the maximum extent possible.

To deal with a single priest, they mobilized a Grandmaster of the Three Realms, comparable to a high priest, along with two other priest experts, to launch a joint attack.

I thought this lineup was foolproof, but...
Liu Sheng, the deputy sect leader of the Fushan Sect with the combat power of a high-ranking official, actually lost! He is now lying on the ground, his life hanging in the balance.

And all of this stemmed from that little girl who suddenly appeared in Qingfeng Temple!

Qingfeng Temple, Qingfeng Temple!
How could a high priest I've never heard of suddenly appear in this place?! She's been around for so long without a trace; did she spring from a crack in a rock?!

At this moment, Fu Chunxing had no time to think. He made a quick decision. Just now, in order to avoid the aftershocks of the battlefield, they had separated by at least 500 meters.

This distance provided them with perfect cover as they fled the scene.

Fu Chunxing and the others turned and ran. At that moment, they didn't care about anything else.

oh!!

In the distance, the loud cheers of a group of disciples from Qingfeng Temple could be heard carried on the wind.

Chen Sui's throat bobbed repeatedly as he watched Senior Sister Xia Si slowly approaching, his mind in turmoil.

All he knew was that a little over a year ago, his master, Abbot Lin Hui, suddenly brought him back and announced that he was his personal disciple.

Then Xia Si displayed an extremely terrifying physique and martial arts talent.

Thus, she was still considered a martial arts genius, and everything was normal.

However, starting with the expedition to the foggy area, Xia Si first displayed precise and skillful ruthless killing power, and then things gradually became abnormal.

To be precise, Qingfeng Temple has always been a bit abnormal, but they used to think that it was normal for them to have some secrets, since they were the strongest and largest martial arts school in the area.

But ever since Xia Si entered the house, these abnormalities have gradually increased.

And then there's Mingxia. The Qingfeng Sword they practice is nothing like the sword technique that ordinary disciples practice.

Its power is extraordinary, and its speed is extraordinary.

Now, Senior Sister Xia Si suddenly made a move, and according to Divine Official Liu, she defeated a Grandmaster of the Three Harmonies who was suspected to be a High Priest in a direct, straightforward, and unpretentious manner!

After the cheers subsided, Chen Sui and the other disciples of Qingfeng Temple fell silent, all thinking about Xia Si's abnormal behavior.

Was she hiding her true strength with ulterior motives, or was it the abbot who concealed the true power of Qingfeng Temple from the very beginning?

Nobody knows that.

"No matter what, she saved everyone. Senior Sister Xia saved everyone, and we all owe her a life!" Chen Sui said in a deep voice.

Liu Xiao glanced at him in surprise, but didn't say anything. Instead, her gaze fell on Xia Si, who was slowly approaching.

"You!" Suddenly, her face paled, a look of shock flashing in her eyes. "You still have the strength left!?"

Xia Si glanced at her in surprise.

"To put oneself in a state of exhaustion and complete vulnerability is the most foolish thing to do."

She paused for a moment, then sighed.

"However, it's been a long time since I've had such a satisfying fight. Before, when I was outside with those big shots..." She seemed to remember something and quickly stopped.

Hearing this only halfway through, Liu Xiao felt a strong urge to ask more questions, but she didn't press the matter.

"They came for me, and I owe you so much this time! Otherwise, I would have been dead for sure."

“It’s unlikely. Unless he can kill you instantly, he can’t possibly succeed.” Xia Si shook her head. “I had only made my move a short while when I sensed that there were powerful people of the same level watching from a distance, and they seemed to be protecting your side.”

"It must have been a backup plan my brother made." Liu Xiao understood. His older brother, Liu Wujun, was never a reckless person, so it was normal for him to make timely remedial arrangements after learning the news.

They simply hadn't expected the other side to be so ruthless, actually mobilizing combat power at the level of a high priest. This level of combat power is considered mid-to-high rank in the inner city; each member holds a high position and wields great power, with a large number of subordinates relying on their protection for their livelihood. It's simply impossible for them to act rashly.

Therefore, high-ranking priests generally don't engage in true death battles with each other.

The situation where the opponent begs for a draw after a fight is one of the unspoken rules within this circle. High Priests are hard-won; after a battle, the loser concedes benefits, and the winner doesn't have to risk injury to forcibly kill the opponent.

Both sides were delighted.

Unfortunately, he miscalculated and encountered Xia Si, who was unaware of any unspoken rules.

"Xia Si, you need to be careful. Each High Priest is connected to a vast network of interests, not just representing himself. You disregarded the peace request and forcibly killed him. There might be even bigger troubles to come your way later," Liu Xiao solemnly warned.

"It's alright. As long as we instill fear in them, everything will be fine," Xia Si smiled.

"..." Liu Xiao wanted to persuade him further, but then she thought of her increasingly mysterious younger brother, Lin Hui.

Then look at Xia Si, whose expression is calm.

She didn't know how to begin.

After a brief moment of adjustment, the other disciples saw that Xia Si was still smiling and gentle as before, and they immediately surrounded her.

They were all excited, some even with deep admiration in their eyes.

Everyone surrounded Xia Si, asking her all sorts of questions.

Some people even offered to wipe the sweat off her body and face.

"So, shall we still go into town?" Liu Xiao asked.

“There’s no need for that anymore. Things have come to this point, and the situation is far beyond what the Hongfei Sect can explain,” Chen Sui sighed.

"Yes, I should go too. Staying any longer will only drag you down." Liu Xiao nodded.

She looked up into the distance, where a tall figure dressed in a white robe with silver trim was flying towards her in a moth-drawn carriage.

She recognized the other person's face; it was her elder brother's friend. The other person was a member of the original bloodline, and given the different meanings represented by the Moon Tower Moth Cart, coming over like this was undoubtedly the greatest protection for her.

The moth-shaped vehicle quickly flew closer. The blond man on the vehicle looked down and his eyes met Xia Si's. The two nodded slightly to each other.

Like two politely greeting apex predator beasts.

Restraint and caution.

Soon, Liu Xiao boarded the moth-drawn carriage and soared into the sky, disappearing into the distance.

Chen Sui and Xia Si quickly turned around and returned to Qingfeng Temple.

They also brought back the corpse of the Fushan Sect member.

At this very moment, outside the fog-shrouded area, at the Yanshan ruins and Tianzhan Cliff, a great battle is about to erupt.

*

Gray fog surged and enveloped the black cliff with the gale.

Flocks of black birds with human-shaped heads fluttered their huge black wings in mid-air, circling and looking down at the two people who had suddenly appeared below. The fog could not block their vision.

Tianzhan Cliff is the windiest spot you can find on the map around Tuyue.

Lin Hui stood on the edge of the cliff, with a bottomless black abyss behind him. Mist churned in the abyss like ocean waves, only tinged black by the light.

A fierce wind swirled around him, carrying countless wisps of mist as it passed by.

He didn't bring Ningxiang with him. He simply stood calmly in the wind and fog, ethereal and dreamlike.

Opposite him, the Supreme Elder Yunxiazi of the Nine Dreams Sect was also dressed in white, with his long hair tied up with a silver ribbon, and a small, mist-free cavity naturally formed around him.

At this moment, she stared calmly at the person opposite her.

Do you know what's down there?

"I don't know." Lin Hui placed his hand on the hilt of the Ruyi Sword. "But whatever it is, neither of us will fall."

“Below lies the habitat of the monsters known as the Annihilation Flesh Sea. We can see their enormous bodies 40,000 meters below us. They are invincible monsters far exceeding the Destruction level. But they don't like to move, so as long as we don't get close, they are harmless to us,” Yunxiazi explained.

"So?" Lin Hui asked, unsure of what the other person meant by bringing this up.

"Therefore, the wind here is actually the torrent created by the breaths of the Annihilation Flesh Sea. If you stay here for too long, you may be corrupted by their minds," Yunxiazi said in a deep voice.

“I have been cultivating here for a long time and have never noticed anything unusual.” Lin Hui slowly drew his sword, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground.

"Alright, let's stop changing the subject. I can't even remember the last time I went all out."

"It's alright, I can withstand any kind of power." A strange expression appeared on Yunxiazi's face.

"To avoid accidentally killing you, I'll only reveal one-tenth of my power for now."

She tapped her right temple with the index finger of one hand.

boom!
In an instant, a powerful and terrifying white light of internal energy exploded and spread wildly from all parts of her body.

In the blink of an eye, it completely covered the entire Tianzhan Cliff.

Centered on her, the area within a radius of hundreds of meters was completely transformed into a world of white light from internal energy at this moment.

It resembles a giant, circular lake of white light.

The wind was forcibly suppressed and stopped at this moment, the earth was covered and concealed, and the ground beneath their feet was completely transformed into a white light of internal energy.
