Fleeing into the Cave
"Boom!"
Thunder roared!
Lightning burst forth on the wind dragon's body, like blooming silver flowers.
Lightning bolts, like tiny silver snakes, darted through the wind dragon's body, attempting to tear it apart.
The wind dragon's body shrank several times in an instant, but it did not stop and continued to pounce on Song Wen.
It swung its dragon tail and lashed out at Song Wen.
A loud "crack!"
Song Wen was struck by a heavy blow.
The Corpse-Baleful Shield immediately collapsed.
The green clock, however, managed to hold on.
However, Song Wen was also impacted by the enormous force, lost his balance, and fell from the sky like a meteor, crashing heavily onto the platform in front of the Cave.
The ground shattered from his impact, sending debris flying everywhere.
Xing Yixuan looked at Song Wen, who had suddenly fallen, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
Her desire for the Heavenly Spirit Pill caused her to suddenly slow down.
Just as she was about to turn around and kill Song Wen, five third-tier Wraith filed out of the Cave.
These five Wraith were all different in form, but like the one Song Wen had encountered before, they were all hybrids of several kinds of beings.
Their bodies were twisted and their faces were ferocious, as if they were evil spirits crawling out of the abyss of hell.
The five Wraith opened their mouths and roared simultaneously, their piercing screams sounding like countless vengeful ghosts wailing at the same time, extremely mournful.
Each roar struck the depths of one's Sea of Consciousness, shaking one's mind and spirit.
A pale white beast bone floated in front of Xing Yixuan, emitting a dim white light that made her appear eerie.
This beast bone is a soul-defense treasure.
Soul-type treasures are rare, and the one in Xing Yixuan's hand is only a low-grade magic Law Treasure, which is insufficient to completely withstand the Divine Sense impact of five third-tier Wraith spirits.
Xing Yixuan felt as if her soul was being torn apart by the shrill sound, and her head was throbbing as if countless steel needles were piercing her brain at the same time.
Her heart was racing, her breathing was rapid, and the immense pain caused her body to tremble uncontrollably.
Three of the five Wraith seized the opportunity to pounce on her; all Wraith were at the Late Third Rank.
Despite the excruciating pain, Xing Yixuan retreated hastily backward.
At the same time, a transparent blade flew out from between her eyebrows.
The blade, barely an inch long, slashed through the air like lightning, piercing the head of one of the Wraith.
The Wraith's roar abruptly stopped, its body paused, but it did not fall.
Xing Yixuan had only cultivated the first level of <Soul-Concentrating Spike>, which was not enough to kill Late Third Rank Wraith in one strike.
The Wraith's soul became somewhat ethereal, paused for a moment, and then continued to pounce on Xing Yixuan.
Just then, the ghostly mist in front of the Cave began to surge.
Jing Lie has arrived!
He instantly understood the situation at hand.
The Flood Dragon Banner fluttered.
A wall of wind blocked his way.
Then, he retreated rapidly, stopping only after going back more than a hundred feet.
At this distance, the wailing of the Wraith significantly reduced its impact on his Sea of Consciousness, bringing it to a level he could tolerate.
The wind wall blocked Xing Yixuan's retreat.
Xing Yixuan immediately became anxious and roared.
"Jing Lie, what do you want to do?"
"Hand over the Heavenly Spirit Pill, and I will fight the vengeful Wraith with you," Jing Lie shouted.
"The Heavenly Spirit Pill isn't on me; that Rogue Cultivator took it."
Xing Yixuan summoned the Raging Water Banner, and as the banner fluttered, several huge streams of water suddenly appeared, stretching across the sky.
The water column seemed to be alive, dancing according to Xing Yixuan's will, preventing the Wraith from getting close.
Xing Yixuan's words were consistent with Jing Lie's previous guess, so he continued to ask.
"Where did that Rogue Cultivator go?"
When Jing Lie arrived, Song Wen was no longer on the platform.
Xing Yixuan gritted her teeth, staring at the excruciating pain in her Sea of Consciousness, "He escaped into the Cave."
Jing Lie urged the Flood Dragon Banner to reinforce the wind barrier, and said at the same time.
"That's impossible. Even you, a cultivator at the Peak Golden Core Stage, couldn't withstand the Divine Sense attacks of these Wraith. How could he, with only the Golden Core Early Stage cultivation, possibly escape the pursuit of these Wraith?"
Xing Yixuan said, "I don't know. Perhaps he has a soul-defense Law Treasure that can protect him from Divine Sense harm."
As she spoke, another Soul-Concentrating Spike flew out from between her brows, shooting towards the previously injured vengeful Wraith.
The Wraith spirit's soul became even more ethereal, Wraith strength greatly diminished, and it posed little threat to Xing Yixuan.
Jing Lie voice, "Since that's the case, then you should die!"
As he finished speaking, the wind wall suddenly collapsed.
A massive pillar of wind burst through the dense ghostly mist and hurtled towards Xing Yixuan.
Xing Yixuan's face turned cold as she gritted her teeth and said, "Jing Lie, I will remember this grudge."
In each of her hands appeared a Soul-Severing Talisman.
The two Soul-Severing Talisman shattered, and two Divine Sense Blade shot out, each locking onto a Wraith.
With two soft sounds, the two Wraith spirits froze abruptly, and their roars ceased abruptly.
The two Wraith began to tremble violently, and then their souls suddenly shattered, turning into countless tiny fragments that scattered in all directions.
At this point, of the three Wraith that had been pursuing Xing Yixuan, two were dead and one was injured.
The injured one is fleeing towards the Cave.
While slaying the two Wraith, Xing Yixuan multitasked, activating the Raging Water Banner, which instantly condensed a wall of water behind her.
The water wall was several meters high and incredibly thick.
The column of wind roared in like a giant dragon, crashing heavily against the wall of water.
The moment the two made contact, a deafening roar erupted, as if the heavens and earth trembled at that moment.
A loud "boom" resounded.
The water wall shattered instantly, sending countless water droplets flying in all directions.
The wind column gradually dissipated and vanished without a trace.
Jing Lie's expression was uncertain; he clearly hadn't expected that Xing Yixuan possessed two Soul-Severing Talisman. This allowed Xing Yixuan to emerge unscathed from the combined attack of him and the Wraith.
"Jing Lie, die!" Xing Yixuan roared.
She waved the Raging Water Banner in her hand, and as her Law Power surged, a water dragon tens of feet long suddenly materialized and pounced towards Jing Lie.
Jing Lie glanced unwillingly in the direction of the Cave.
His expertise in wind-based Technique Method offers no advantage in combating Wraith.
Song Wen fled into the Cave, but there were clearly many Wraith Cave, so he couldn't possibly venture deep Cave.
Jing Lie made a quick decision, his figure flashing as he swiftly turned and fled.
At the same time, a wall of wind quickly materialized behind him, blocking the water dragon and buying him time to escape.
Seeing Jing Lie's figure disappear into the ghostly mist, Xing Yixuan did not give chase.
Jing Lie was quite strong and skilled in wind-based Technique Method, making him extremely fast; she would have a hard time catching up with him.
She turned and looked at the dark Cave, standing guard at the entrance.
In Xing Yixuan's view, there were many Wraith in the cave, and even though Song Wen possessed a soul defense Law Treasure, it would be difficult for him to withstand the Wraith' all-pervasive Divine Sense attacks for long.
Sooner or later, Song Wen will be unable to resist the Wraith and will be forced to flee the Cave.
She only needed to wait outside the cave for Song Wen to come to her.
At that time, we will kill him in one fell swoop, and the Heavenly Spirit Pill and the many secret techniques on Song Wen's body will naturally be ours.
