Chapter 99 – Stars

It didn’t take long before most of the Warriors’ stances were destroyed and turned into a small mist of scattered primal energy.

Only Xue Yao’s lotus swords, Hong Xun’s golden bell, Jin Yan’s spear, and Lin Zi Yan’s purple lotus were still intact to contend with the enormous green sword. “What a joke!” Mo Ya sneered disdainfully while looking at what was left of the coordinated attack as he laughed arrogantly behind his Qi sword.

“Zoom! Zoom!”

Mo Ya grunted, and the Qi sword started vibrating. Beams of green light burst out as their pressure wave spread to fill the hall.

“Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!”

First, the green ripples connected to Xue Yao’s stance, and all of the petal swords shook then shattered with an intense cracking noise.

Shorty after, Mo Ya’s stance crashed onto the spinning bell and Jin Yan’s spear simultaneously. Both shattered immediately upon contact. Only moments after, Mo Ya struck Lin Zi Yan’s stance; the only thing between the Warriors and a violent death.

If Lin Zi Yan’s lotus broke now, the Qi sword would be on course to slice every cultivator in the temple.

“D*mn it!” Ye Wei ground his teeth as he tore two medium-grade scrolls in a row, but the weakened, ordinary low-level Myst stances did nothing to Mo Ya’s fierce sword.

Lin Zi Yan’s front teeth tightly clenched into her lip as she channeled more of her Qi to sustain the purple lotus which was showing signs of fracturing under the impact of Mo Ya’s incredibly powerful strike.

The force of Mo Ya’s sword seemed never ending. The pulsating pressure waves repeatedly impacted Lin Zi Yan’s lotus stance, and the recoil force was making her paler by the second as a thin trail of blood flowed down her mouth.

Although Lin Zi Yan’s bloodline meant her Qi was as dense and powerful as if she were a ten-star Warrior, her two-star Warrior body had no way to keep up with Mo Ya’s newfound power. In a prolonged fight, her body couldn’t hold up to the body strength of a condensed prime Warrior.

“Little Wei, run!” Lin Zi Yan used her voice transmission technique to warn Ye Wei in the noisy hall.

Ye Wei shook his head. When everyone used their scrolls and arms, he already took out the iron talisman as his backup plan. It had been absorbing a lot of residual Qi as all the stances were shattered by the might of Mo Ya’s attack; unfortunately, only thirty-seven grooves on the talisman were currently lit up. It was not even halfway ready to be used again.

‘Hang in there; it shouldn’t take much longer!’

It was none of Mo Ya’s concern that everyone wanted more time; that they wanted to live longer. They were only souls to be crushed in his eyes, and his Qi sword kept crashing down mercilessly.

‘Hey, kid!’

A hoarse voice echoed inside Ye Wei’s head.

‘Mister is that you?! Can you help us?’ Ye Wei raised his head to see Pu Yuan was winking at him in the blue light, so he replied.

‘I am just a spectral guardian,’ Pu Yuan shook his head reluctantly at Ye Wei and directly sent the message into Ye Wei’s mind. ‘I can only act upon someone who has broken the rules my master laid down when he put the seal on my soul…’

‘However,’ Pu Yuan paused for a second. ‘I can’t do much to him but you can!’’ His calm voice sounded in Ye Wei’s mind again.

‘Me?’ Ye Wei looked back and frowned.

‘Little man, I want you to remember the power you felt from the revolving cosmos!’ Pu Yuan’s words echoed in Ye Wei’s head.

Ye Wei was puzzled. ‘Huh? I only just deciphered the Supernova stance, and I am just a ten-star Student right now. Even if I managed to use it perfectly, it would be no stronger than a low-level Myst stance… That’s not going to do much to Mo Ya!’

While Ye Wei was still confused by Pu Yuan’s cryptic message, the illuminating figure moved. It turned into a flash and flew towards Ye Wei so quick that it couldn’t be seen by the human eye.

“Bang!”

Before Ye Wei even noticed, the shining figure invaded his body.

‘What is this feeling…’ All he felt was a dense surge of energy throughout his entire body.

Ye Wei lowered his head and looked at his clenched fists in disbelief. He could tell that the energy inside him was slowly evolving, and there was shock and excitement in his widened eyes.

“Crack! Crack!”

Lin Zi Yan was exhausted. Her Qi was quickly draining, and she could no longer hold her stance together. With a loud rumble, the purple flower was split into two by the green sword’s sharp edge.

“Brumm!”

As the purple lotus was torn, there was nothing now between the Warriors and the sword but empty space, as the unstoppable crushing force approached them mercilessly.

Lin Zi Yan stood in front of everyone else to push her stance forwards towards Mo Ya, and now she would be the first to be hit by Autumn Grace’s power because of her positioning.
