Chapter 154 (1/2)

“You disgusting old hag, go die.”

Claire was quite familiar with this voice.

Feng Yixuan!

Claire hurried towards the voice. She could hear Feng Yixuan had unsteady breath, meaning he was injured!

Bang!

There was a huge explosion. Claire ran over just in time to see an alluring woman brandishing her broadsword, attacking Feng Yixuan fiercely. Feng Yixuan backed away hurriedly. Fighting in close combat with a warrior was unwise. The slight trickle of red from the corner of Feng Yixuan’s mouth indicated he had an internal injury. The alluring woman didn’t see to be in a hurry to kill Feng Yixuan. Instead, she merely followed closely, forcing him back. Whenever Feng Yixuan cast a spell, the woman would slash it apart with a fierce burst of sword Qi, forcing him back continuously.

The alluring woman was very strong and fast. Her timing was also impeccable, attacking fluidly, leaving no time for Feng Yixuan to cast a spell back. This was the skill of an experienced expert. Magic, even if it were cast wordlessly, required time to coalesce, but this woman left no time at all.

The Azure Ripple blade materialized in Claire’s hand. She dashed forward and blocked a strike.

Clang…

The sound of blades crossing echoed.

“Claire!” Feng Yixuan was both surprised and pleased.

Claire remained silent, her expression sharp. From just this one clash, she had determined the opponent’s strength.

The woman was powerful and quick.

“Who are you?!” The woman hollared angrily. Just when she was about to finish, this brat appeared out of nowhere!

Claire remained silent, only calm as she blocked the woman’s next attack.

She only needed to bear the strikes for a moment. Even just one second was enough for Feng Yixuan’s spell to coalesce. As a magician, Feng Yixuan was not as strong or fast as Claire, but his magic was…

This woman was strong, but not strong enough!

Feng Yixuan stopped, his eyes furrowing as he concentrated. His finger traced a circle in the air as he said in a low, but firm voice, “Wind prison!”

Instantly, the air started to flow, forming a barrier around the woman. Claire withdrew. The woman tried to give chase, but was thrown back by the wind barrier. The wind prison started to tighten, binding the woman inside.

Claire raised a brow at the severe, swirling wind. Feng Yixuan had improved quickly in such a short amount of time.

The woman started to slash away at the barrier.

Claire put away her sword, then glanced at Feng Yixuan. Their gazes met. Without a word, they both understood.

The next moment, the woman burst forth with Dou Qi and slashed open the wind barrier, but before she could react, she could only see flames! The woman’s eyes flashed with alarm at the intense heat of the golden flames. She wanted to dodge, but found herself unable to retreat.

Feng Yixuan was using the wind prison again, trapping the woman along with the flames.

She wailed and screamed, but Claire and Feng Yixuan did not do anything.

Claire raised her hand and a spear of golden flames materialized.

Claire took a step back, then threw with all her might.

“Go.”

As the spear whistled towards the wind prison, a sliver in the wind blades appeared, just enough for the spear to shoot inside.

Feng Yixuan and Claire had coordinated seamlessly. It had taken only two minutes starting from when Claire had blocked the woman’s attacks.

Once again, there were screams, but those soon died down, leaving only a faint burning odor.

Having finished off the woman, the two looked at each other.

“Claire, why are you here?” Feng Yixuan, although delighted, was slightly worried. The Land of Rebirth was extraordinarily dangerous. He hadn’t been here for long, yet he had already crossed paths with such a powerful individual.

“The same reason as you.” Claire watched the wind prison and flames die out. “What happened? The senior said he had just sent you over not long ago.”

A hint of embarrassment showed Feng Yixuan’s face. He couldn’t bring himself to say the old woman wanted him to become her gigolo and attendant.
