Chapter 522: Surprise attack! Cai’er’s crisis (II)

Right, Cai’er didn’t dodge, but made instead such a simple motion. One could clearly see that the instant the Sickle of the God of Death reached the ground, Cai’er disappeared sudddenly, along with her weapon. Only an immense projection of her blade’s edge was left.

The sky around her suddenly distorted, and the large amount of incoming magic rays scattered in all directions due to the distortions, and at the same time that immense blade edge pierced through the sky, repelling all the other projectiles in the air.

This was the power of the Sickle of the God of Death. Although Cai’er was only at the seventh step, she could, by relying on it, deploy on a small scope a power similar to a domain, influencing all the enemies’ attacks.

The Sickle of the God of Death had a lot of features, among which the most powerful two are overwhelming power and purity.

Overwhelming power is just as mighty as it sounds: it’s a sharp aura of death that forcibly repels and nullifies any magic which would get in front of the sickle.

Cai’er’s figure reappeared, with a pair of spiritual wings that became a lot larger than before, bringing her back to the city’s head. Although she really wanted to kill these magic wielding demons that were gathered below, her reason told her that this wasn’t a good idea.

Right when Cai’er was about to turn towards the city’s head, she suddenly came to a standstill. Immediately, she had a sort of sticky feeling, which was really uncomfortable. She felt sluggish, and felt her spiritual energy being instantly compressed greatly.

What’s happening? Cai’er was greatly shocked, and instinctively poured her spiritual energy into the Sickle of the God of Death. Right that instant, a black dot could be seen, aiming at her forehead.

This black dot was extremely fast, to the extent of being invisible to the human eye. Moreover, Cai’er was in a restricted state and was unable to devote herself entirely to defending against it.

An enemy’s surprise attack! This was Cai’er’s first thought, but the most shocking was that her perception and the murderous spirit of the Sickle of the God of Death were actually not able to detect the presence of this enemy.

This thought only flashed through her mind, and all she could do was to wield the Sickle of the God of Death in a defensive posture.

Ding! With an ear-piercing sound, Cai’er felt as if she’d been struck by a gigantic hammer, and her mouth and nose started leaking out blood.

Although it was the sharp edge of the Sickle of the God of Death that was used, this sufficed to cancel out the enemy attack. But even so, that substantial powerful spiritual energy shock couldn’t possibly be entirely neutralized that way. Cai’er was entirely guided by her intuition, and seemed to have lost all sensation of her hands gripping the Sickle of the God of Death. The most frightening was that after suffering such a terrible shock, her body wasn’t sent flying, but remained glued here with the same sticky feeling. And the enemy’s second attack was already coming.

Cai’er was in an extreme state of crisis. From the previous attack, she had determined that the enemy attacking her was a powerhouse of the ninth step. Only the spiritual energy of a powerhouse of the ninth step could escape her detection and produce such a powerful offensive power. As for that sticky feeling, it should be from the enemy’s domain.

On Exorcist Mountain Pass, Sheng Yue had been observing Cai’er’s movement all along, and saw how she had come to a sudden stop. Right upon discovering that black dot, Sheng Yue realized that the situation was no good.

But this had happened just too fast. Even with his level of cultivation, he couldn’t make it ina time to save Cai’er.

An ear-piercing sound of breakage was heard, distracting the fighters from both sides. They discovered with shock that in the direction of the Exorcist Mountain Pass’ City, a large hole was torn open in the sky, extending until reaching Cai’er’s side.

This attack cannot land! Sheng Yue understood very clearly that Cai’er would definitely not be able to resist this second attack of the enemy. But even at full speed, he wouldn’t make it in time to block the attack. Therefore, he could only lock his attack on the enemy. If the enemy’s attack reached Cai’er, Sheng Yue’s full powered attack would definitely inflict very heavy damage to him.

But right at that time, against all expectations, Cai’er didn’t resign herself to fate. Her hands were already numb, her body restricted by the domain, but she still had some resources for her self-preservation.

“”

A dense black color flashed through Cai’er’s eyes, then her body disappeared all of a sudden.

Then, the Scythe of the God of Death abruptly burst out with an incomparably dense killing intent. A small crack formed suddenly on the formless domain of viscosity, and her weapon went through it.
