Chapter 591: The Beautiful Girl Is Los (1/2)
Her breathing becoming gradually heavier, Hu Mi was already covered in cuts and bruises. She relied on her strong willpower to prop herself up and not fall over. Arcs of electricity jumped about her body. Her clothes were already in tatters, her white arms covered in wounds. Blood dripped along her fingertips onto the ground.
The dripping was a hopeless sound.
But the girl was not at all hopeless.
“You still do not flee? Are you still waiting for This Old Man to use the Good Fortune Prayer Mat?” Li Taisui gently fanned himself, speaking leisurely. Compared to Hu Mi, he was a completely different person. “If This Old Man actually uses the Good Fortune Prayer Mat, you will certainly regret it.” Li Taisui heedlessly said.
“As expected, Hu Mi is not your opponent.” Hu Mi panted, irritating the wounds over her body. Other than the Supreme Ultimate Diagram, she had practically used every trick she had and was unable to bring Li Taisui even the slightest bit of a threat. By contrast, the old man’s attitude was easy, strolling through the courtyards, completely not using his full strength.
Hu Mi felt that these Ninth Star Duels truly were abnormal.
“Hmph.” Guardian Star Xu Jingshu raised her golden lance and jumped high. That divine spear in her hand dropped down, wrapped in power that could break a mountain. “Jingshu!” Hu Mi called out, not daring to be slow.
Dark Star Blue Faced Beast Zijin held her Extreme Vast Blue Emperor Saber in one hand. She raised her face, and her bangs were lifted by the spear’s wind, revealing her bestial birthmark. Although her battle with Wu Siyou had cost her full power, Li Taisui used his powerful Star Energy to already restore the Dark Star to perfect condition.
Clang-clang.
Sparks scattered everywhere.
Yang Zijin’s slash caught Xu Jingshu’s attack. Her leg kicked, and the earth caved in. Soaring upwards, Yang Zijin’s assault was like an animal on the hunt. When she attacked, her attack was fatally fierce.
Blue saber-light passed by. Xu Jingshu’s armor then caught the Extreme Vast Blue Emperor Saber, “Watch this.” Xu Jingshu shouted, and she raised her spear and stabbed.
A crackling, unstoppable gust rolled up, completely disintegrating the True Qi surrounding Yang Zijin. The woman who was apathetic as a flower was unmoved. She stepped in midair, and her figure vanished from under the spear.
Xu Jingshu raised her head. Yang Zijin already appeared several meters above her. Blue Faced Beast rode the sale, falling towards Xu Jingshu. Xu Jingshu charged all of the Star Energy in her body. Yang Zijin disappeared then reappeared, flitting about instantaneously during her descent. Her speed instantly accelerated to a degree that Xu Jingshu did not anticipate.
Xu Jingshu said to herself, Oh, shit.
The Dark Star finally showed her fangs. She extended a hand, dazzling Xu Jingshu’s eyes. The Extreme Vast Blue Emperor Saber’s saber-qi then wrapped around Xu Jingshu, turning into dragon fangs that ground up the Guardian Star. Astonishingly, this was her Dark Rank Saber Technique Heavenly Dragon In Dance.1
Her armor glowed brightly. Xu Jingshu relied on her Innate Skill to barely resist, but the Dark Star’s Star Energy realm was clearly higher than hers, already near True Phoenix realm. Regardless of reactions, actions, strength, or speed, her continuous slashes made Xu Jingshu collapse onto the ground. Compared to Hu Mi’s injuries, she herself was no better.
Hu Mi wanted to intervene, but Li Taisui’s lightning obstructed her. She could only call out.
“Death before dishonor is a great feeling.” Xu Jingshu laughed and charged fearlessly forward.
Yang Zijin gently shook her head, maintaining her negative attitude. The girl took a knee, suddenly swinging the Blue Emperor Saber. Their silhouettes passed by another. Xu Jingshu gasped, finally falling into the Star Nest. Yang Zijjin sheathed her saber, her black and white skirt untainted by even a speck of dust, “You still will not leave?” Yang Zijin spoke, a voice like waves, beautiful and slow.
When she finished speaking, Yang Zijin stopped her steps. She looked at her shoulder and noticed her shirt had a hole torn in it. Blood dribbled out, staining her immaculate clothes red.
Hu Mi inwardly sneered. She did not expect that Xu Jingshu would only be able to graze the Dark Star ever so slightly.
“It seems This Old Man cannot show mercy.” Li Taisui’s eyes released a stern glint, and his fan tapped.
A blinding arc of lightning struck.
Hu Mi retreated. Her face still maintained a hopeful smile: “Senior ought to have already done so.”
“You really do not fear death?”
“Hu Mi is afraid of death.” Hu Mi was calm: “But there is a man who loves to play the hero who saves the beauty. Hu Mi is waiting for him.”
Li Taisui sneered. Suddenly, his fan shook.
A violent thunderbolt struck.
With a bang, it completely knocked Hu Mi’s incoming Flying Swords aside. Hu Mi’s expression changed. This old man was also capable of powerful abilities, for her Supervoid Flying Swords were incapable of resisting. Hu Mi promptly wanted to retreat, but Li Taisui’s swift killing move had only just begun.
The lightning that flew over suddenly seized her body, digging into Hu Mi like claws. In that instant, searing pain made the Fox of Voracious Admiration nearly lose consciousness, but Hu Mi grit her teeth. If she fainted, then she would inevitably die. Hu Mi used all of her magic energy to receive this blow and retreat backwards. She immediately thought of using the Jade Pendant, but the incoming lightning rolled once more, not giving her any chance.
Hu Mi’s body suffered this attack heavily. Her muscles and bones all crumbled as she powerlessly flew backwards.
“You are too arrogant, This Old Man shall give you a lesson in regret.” Li Taisui’s pupils were like a beast’s, full of viciousness. He opened his mouth, and a beast of lightning galloped forth, instantly descending upon Hu Mi’s head like an executioner’s blade.
Fang of the Thunder Beast!!
Just at this moment, purple thunder crackled and flocked from behind Hu Mi, appearing to clash with the thunder beast head-on. Lightning exploded, and thunderbolts jumped in the surroundings, shattering everything. A figure appeared behind Hu Mi. The girl felt her originally limp and powerless body be propped up by a sturdy chest. Instantly, she was filled with a feeling of safety.
“You actually came.” Hu Mi giggled.
Su Xing held Hu Mi. Purple Mansion Immortal Thunder attacked, but against the head of the White Tiger Seven Spirits, the Li Taisui who was similarly an expert in thunder magic, Purple Mansion Immortal Thunder was completely unable to last for too long before being shredded by the thunder beast. THe leftover arcs of lightning still pursued them.
“Combine!”
Su Xing ordered.
