Asura Mad Emperor-Chapter 783: Shuiyin Sect
For the past year, Ji Huo'er had been immersing herself in grueling cultivation, never participating in real combat. She was finally given an opportunity to act today, which greatly pleased her.
With squinted eyes and a smile on her face, she looked completely harmless. She chuckled and said, "Elder, you're right, I am indeed looking down on you. Your paltry strength isn't enough to earn my respect!"
Her words were thoroughly scathing.
"If you want to be respected by others, you should at least last three rounds under my hand," Ji Huo'er said with a smile as beautiful as a flower, yet her words were enough to infuriate.
"You… You despicable brat!"
The rage consumed Taiyin Old Ghost, obliterating the trace of fear he had felt just moments before.
"Kill!"
Taiyin Old Ghost's anger shot through the roof, his hair stood on its ends, his eyes bulged, and a terrifying brilliance erupted from them.
Although his Shuiyin Sect was not as colossal as the Yu Sect and Chu Sect in Yuchu City, it had been established in the Yuchu Mountain Range for hundreds of thousands of years, governing over a hundred Spirit Peaks and receiving due respect. When had he ever been subjected to such humiliation?
He lashed out with a claw, unleashing his signature technique.
"Hundred Ghosts Slash!"
Ji Huo'er's interest was piqued. Forgetting about the serious matters at hand, she excitedly watched the Divine Skill slash towards her, eager to test her mettle.
Taiyin Old Ghost's arm swelled, his claw transformed into a palm, becoming a pitch-black blade, incredibly sharp and flashing with a sinister light. It was like the Milky Way falling from the Nine Heavens, tearing through the void as it descended upon Ji Huo'er's head.
Unfortunately for him, his power-laden palm was engulfed by the flames Ji Huo'er spit out, unable even to break through the Flame Barrier.
On the contrary, his palm was scorched by the leaping flames into a Fire Dragon, skin splitting open to reveal crimson flesh beneath.
"Aaah…" Taiyin Old Ghost screamed, his arm skin ripped apart inch by inch by an inexplicable flame, sending waves of intense pain through him as he rapidly retreated.
"Who exactly is this woman, to be able to block even the signature technique of Taiyin Old Ghost with a single move!"
From a distance, a surge of excitement erupted among the spectators.
"It seems Taiyin Old Ghost has met his match today, but I wonder from which power this genius comes. I've never heard of her before," the onlookers discussed among themselves.
Just then, a loud shout came from within the distant fog.
"Third Senior Brother, I am here to assist you!"
Upon hearing this voice, the hearts of those present were stirred.
"So this guy also came!" they thought.
Turning their heads, they saw several Divine Rainbows bursting from the mist, led by a middle-aged man clad in black armor, traversing the void with an ominous aura.
This man was none other than one of the youngest elders of the Shuiyin Sect, Daoist Hongmo.
Although he was the youngest among the elders, his strength was the greatest. At a young age, his Cultivation Level had already reached the late stages of the Supreme Saint Realm, and his promotion to the Emperor Realm seemed to be only a matter of time.
"Daoist Hongmo has arrived!" the crowd buzzed. freewebnøvel.com
"No, not just Daoist Hongmo. There are also the Shuiyin Sect Leader, Elder Dingquan, Old Devil Yanbo…" they quickly realized that a multitude of Shuiyin Sect powerhouses had arrived at the scene.
A sudden tension gripped the crowd: "The Shuiyin Sect is known for their volatile and unorthodox characters, as well as for being fiercely defensive of their own. With so many of their strong members here, this woman is done for!"
"Who is this rural lass who dares to provoke my Shuiyin Sect?" asked the Shuiyin Sect Leader, a tall man with prominent features, his aura having also reached the late stages of the Supreme Saint Realm.
His gaze was chilling as he stared at Ji Huo'er, "Since it's your first offence, I'll not take it too seriously. Kneel down and apologize to my third disciple, then submit to me, and I shall let bygones be bygones. Otherwise, do not blame me for being merciless."
Ji Huo'er raised an eyebrow, her eyes shining with light, "What, one of you isn't enough, so you want to gang up on me?"
She completely ignored the words of the Shuiyin Sect Leader.
"One, two, three..."
As she spoke, she actually turned to look at the Shuiyin Sect members, counting them off on her fingers.
After counting, she finally got the number straight, "Thirteen people in total, all of you come at me then, just when this girl was getting into the mood!"
Ji Huo'er was eager to try.
Indeed, Ji Huo'er had been bored for far too long, following Qinchuan around, she mostly encountered enemies who were strong figures of the Emperor Realm, none of which she could match, unable to take action. Today, seeing so many powerful figures of the same realm, she couldn't help but itch for a good fight.
Heaven bears witness, she truly did not mean to be arrogantly provocative.
But, the more innocent she appeared, the angrier the powerful cultivators of the Shuiyin Sect became.
"Damn it, this is utterly infuriating, she doesn't take us seriously at all!"
"Seeking death!"
The aura of Hongmo Daoren surged, as he stretched out a hand, his arm flickering with black runes. He casually reached out to capture Ji Huo'er there and then.
"Hey, I already said, you are no match for me, let's have all of you come at me at once!"
Ji Huo'er said, shaking her head in frustration, as if she were lamenting their inability to understand. At the same time, she casually stepped forward and slapped out with her hand.
"This woman, how arrogant she is!"
Those who saw Ji Huo'er's motion, everyone felt their hearts lurch, unable to help but think.
"Hongmo Daoren is in the late stage of the Supreme Saint Realm, yet she's so cavalier, isn't this courting death?"
Hongmo Daoren was incredibly fast, black mist rising to the sky, looming and enveloping all around, about to drown Ji Huo'er.
But the next moment, the turn of events caught everyone by surprise.
Both sides had incredibly formidable auras, but upon one collision, everyone saw Hongmo Daoren, clad in black armor, being sent flying backward.
Hongmo Daoren, he was actually slapped away by Ji Huo'er.
The people once again erupted into an uproar.
"Heavens, she actually defeated Hongmo Daoren with one palm strike!"
"A Supreme Saint Early Stage, slapping away someone in the Supreme Saint Late Stage, and it's Hongmo Daoren no less!?!"
All faces looked at one another in disbelief, everyone felt as if the world had turned chaotic.
"Just who is this woman?"
At this time, everyone's gaze was fixed on Ji Huo'er, and Ling Xian'er, who was by her side, also received a lot of attention.
But these people were all cultivators from Yuchu City, unfamiliar with the likes of Ji Huo'er and her companions.
"This woman, she is not simple!"
At this moment, even the people of Shuiyin Sect had the same thought crossing their minds.
"How about it, are you convinced?" Ji Huo'er, having slapped away Hongmo Daoren, raised an eyebrow, her expression rather flamboyant, seemingly dissatisfied with the swift end to the battle.
"You, you, and you all, seeing your fellow sect members hurt and yet showing no reaction, what are you waiting for, come on all at once!"
"Scoundrels! Since you are hell-bent on seeking death, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
When had the Shuiyin Sect Leader ever suffered such humiliation, being pointed at and scolded by a little girl was unbearable.
"Elders of Shuiyin, heed my command, strike together and subdue this demoness!"
