Chapter 95 - Phoenix Sword (1/2)

Lin Luoran falls down like a loose kite after pus.h.i.+ng Li Xi’er onto the terrace.

Perhaps she has used up her luck today, she never sees another reachable terrace while falling down, which means that she can’t do the same trick to save herself.

It is the first time for her to be in such a situation, and it will be a lie to say that she is not in a panic. Time pa.s.ses. She has tried to cast a water spell and the water Reiki in the valley are barely enough to form a water rope, but there is nowhere to cling to. Lin Luoran is worried.

It’s not that she doesn’t want to hide into the bead. She will be fine if she does, but the bead itself will drop into the valley, too. Let alone the s.p.a.ce may suffer from a quake, Lin Luoran will be stuck and die here if there is no way out of the bottom of the deep valley — even she gets lucky and gets out of there, it will take her too much time and ruin this trip to Bermuda.

She has to take something back from this adventure, right?

While falling, Lin Luoran disappears with a flash of mind. The bead keeps falling all alone. By the time Lin Luoran reappears, the double-headed phoenix hairpin is in her hand, glowing blue.

Different from its usual self, the phoenix hairpin seems to know that it’s time for it to use its power. It is slightly jumping in Lin Luoran’s hand.

Lin Luoran has long since had a taste of its power. She directs the Reiki inside of her and infuses them to the hairpin — of course, the stream of fire Reiki is making no response. The hairpin is in the nature of water, and fire Reiki repels it.

The double-headed phoenix splits into two. Seeing this, Lin Luoran doesn’t stop infusing Reiki into it. Instead, she keeps pus.h.i.+ng herself and infuses half of the Reiki inside of her into the split hairpin!

The two phoenix hairpins become bigger and turn into two thin swords with sharp blue glow. By the time they shape up, two shadows of phoenix encircle the blades of the swords, and the sound of phoenix tweeting comes when the two of them entangle!

Lin Luoran is delighted. She beats the air in the opposite direction and dashes to the cliff. With one sword in each hand, she sticks the one in her right hand into the cliff.

The sword is so sharp that the cliff seems to be soft as a piece of tofu. The blade goes all the way into the cliff easily, and only its handle carved with phoenix is still in Lin Luoran’s hand. Certainly, body hitting on the cliff, Lin Luoran now has to experience what Li Xi’er has just gone through. Her head is dizzy.

This method may work. Before Lin Luoran becomes happy, she starts to slip down again. The phoenix sword is too sharp with all the Reiki inside of it, and it cuts the stone like tofu. With Lin Luoran’s weight, the sword cuts the stone at a high speed. Though she is now going down slower than before, the situation is not much better.

Lin Luoran doesn’t know what to do. She can certainly pull the sword out, but she will fall as before… Ok, at least she has two swords. She is able to switch hands to save some strength, which is better, right?

Lin Luoran comforts herself. However, during the switches of hands, chipping stones are all over her head and face, and her long dress is torn, not to mention that her body is covered with bruises…

Without knowing how long time has pa.s.sed, Lin Luoran senses that she is almost out of Reiki. If it isn’t for that Reiki in the secret land is abundant and the bead is replenis.h.i.+ng Reiki to her, she may have long since been exhausted. Still, Lin Luoran is overwhelmed by the spending rate of Reiki… Suddenly, she realizes that she is holding two swords. That’s it! She hurries to put away one of them into the s.p.a.ce. She can hold on for a while with one sword.
