Chapter 323: Too Arrogant (2/2)
However, against a Spirit King, it was still lacking.
A gust of spiritual energy blew away the dust obscuring the battle. Abbotess Liang remained standing, purple energy covering a few more wounds on her body. The most serious seemed to be the hole in her upper chest caused by the fourth flight. However, she was a Spirit King. She had a Spirit King’s tough physique. She had a Spirit King’s endurance. She could not be felled by in one go the strongest attack at the Spirit Lord Realm.
Her spiritual energy levels had barely dipped from their starting point while Chen Wentian’s condition was much worse after executing a prolonged attack. He was breathing heavily from the exertion and she could see it.
“Too arrogant! Simply too arrogant! I expected more of you.” She said, “So what if you have a few toys. You can’t beat me, even if your wildest dreams. You’re going to die and I’m going to enjoy killing you. Then, I will return with an army to wipe out those white bitches as well as that insolent slut lotus. You can rest in peace knowing that I will take good care of your disciple after I destroy this subcontinent!”
“I’m not dead yet. The victor has still yet to be decided.” He retorted.
“Hahaha… Fine!”
Abbotess Liang’s expression changed from mirth to a steely glare in an instant. Her spiritual energy shot up and covered the sky.
“Domain of the Purple Gown!”
The sky turned an unnatural shade of light purple. Then, fluttering purple streams descended like bolts of cloth rolling down from the heavens. They came down from all directions, seeking to entomb everything within.
Chen Wentian rapidly retreated but the domain followed. Abbotess Liang also gave chase, trying but failing to hide the pain of her injuries, visible on her face.
Everything was purple. Large streams of falling cloth separated into smaller pieces and fluttered down all around him like snow. When each piece made contact with anything, there was an explosion that left behind nothing except a crater.
Boom!
Boom!
Boom!
Continuous blasts rocked the desolate forest. Chen Wentian blocked most of the falling cloth with the Cloudy Bronze Parasol while parrying others with his saber.
Despite his best efforts, he was still knocked around like a ragdoll. A Spirit King’s domain was simply too much to defend against entirely. Avoiding a direct hit was the most he could do.
If that wasn’t enough, an oversized purple figured caught up with him faster than he expected.
“Don’t run, little boy!”
A hand that was twice as tall as him closed off his path of retreat. He turned, only to see another hand in his way.
The Insightful Swallow struck out, seeking to open a way.
He could only get to the second flight before several giant fingers caught his weapon. The saber was forcibly wrenched from his grasp as the abbotess’s other fist slammed his body into the ground.
Her fist enveloped the Spirit Lord weapon and squeezed. At first, nothing happened but she shouted in frustration and applied more force.
Ping!
The blade broke in half under sheer force. Then it broke again, and again… until it was finally crushed into pieces.
Chen Wentian did not have time to mourn the loss of the saber before a purple palm slammed down.
Gong!
The shield from the Cloudy Bronze Parasol saved him from being turned into meat paste but it could not hold for long.
Another palm slapped down, causing a web of cracks across the shield. He held up the umbrella and sent all available spiritual energy into it, strengthening his defense and healing the cracks.
Another attack landed, then another, and yet another.
The purple giant slapped the ground enthusiastically until the bronze barrier finally shattered.
