Chapter 250
"Hey, pretty sister, don't think so much. You said it yourself, those people outside were turned into this by those bastards from the Holy Spirit Cult. I'll help you turn them all into charcoal. Cheer up, don't frown. Although it looks kind of cute like this, I feel like your gloomy Huo Wu unhappy too..."
Huo Wu, dressed in red, appeared beside Qian Renxue at some point. After listening to their conversation, she nodded seriously. But just as she was about to express her own opinion, she noticed that the beautiful, blonde-haired woman with a particularly pleasant voice looked unwell and very depressed. Although she was intelligent, she couldn't understand why she was like this. It was probably because of those treacherous Holy Spirit Cult outside. The beautiful woman spoke so sweetly; she must have a very kind heart, so that's why she was unhappy. Hmm... that must be it.
Qian Renxue turned her head and gave Huo Wu a forced smile. She was somewhat emotional. At first, she had only approached Huo Wu with the intention of using her, but after getting to know her, she realized why even Bibi Dong, a ruthless woman, liked Huo Wu so much. She now understood that Huo Wu possessed a power that could infect others with her happiness, and this power was exactly what people with deep minds like them craved most.
"It's alright... Why would I be unhappy? I'm just... a little down. Huo Wu Dance, let's go out together later and turn those monsters and the culprits behind them into charcoal. I also have the power of fire..."
Yu Tianshuang and the others exchanged puzzled glances, wondering when Qian Renxue and Huo Wu had become so close... they were even calling each other "sister" and "brother"... But it wasn't surprising. Huo Wu's personality made her very likable, provided she didn't dislike you. It seemed that everyone in the Spirit Hall, except for Shui Bing'er, had a very good impression of Huo Wu.
"In that case, Sister Na, adjust the troops' formation. I'll open a gap in the ice wall directly in front, just big enough for one Mammon to pass through. Everyone, distribute your Soul Power. Senior Sister, Qian Renxue, and I will launch an attack from the air to clear out these monsters as much as possible. Once everyone's Soul Power is depleted, I'll close the gap in the ice wall. It's better to fight longer than to suffer casualties. I have a feeling the battle ahead will be very intense; this is probably just an appetizer from the Holy Spirit Cult..."
After listening, Hu Liena nodded, but then said with some worry, "I'm fine on my end. The formation and personnel arrangements have been prepared long ago. I'll have the people from the Sparrow Bee Sect fight alongside you in the air later. But can you withstand this kind of Soul Power consumption?"
Yu Tianshuang herself had to participate in the battle, as well as maintain the ice wall surrounding the entire camp. She also had to keep an eye on any openings to prevent them from expanding to a certain extent. This made her a little worried that it might be too much for him.
"Hmph, ignorant... Is that all you know about him? Well, you're just an ordinary Soul Master, your understanding of power is too shallow. Don't worry, with me here, he'll be fine. You just need to do the things assigned to you."
"You!" This was the first time in Hu Liena's life that she had been called an ordinary Soul Master. It felt incredibly absurd to her. Ever since she was taken in as a disciple by Bibi Dong and later became the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, she had always been surrounded by the aura of a genius. But today, she was actually called an ordinary Soul Master by Shui Bing'er, which made her extremely angry.
Originally, Shui Bing'er had stood up to Qian Renxue for her in the camp, which slightly changed her impression of Shui Bing'er. But now she realized that this woman probably just felt sorry for herself back then. She was too arrogant and didn't respect anyone. Well, she was a woman who dared to confront even her teacher head-on. Oh well, that made sense. Compared to her fellow disciples, she was indeed quite ordinary...
"Shui Bing'er, what did you say? What right do you have to talk to my Sister Na like that? Show me some respect! What do you mean by 'ordinary Soul Master '? Sister Na is just five years older than us, just recently broke through to Soul Saint, just... just..."
Huo Wu was chatting with Qian Renxue, basking in the beautiful compliments of the eloquent older sister, when she heard her nemesis say such things about Sister Na, who was the best to her. She couldn't hold back any longer and immediately flew into a rage, putting her hands on her hips and starting to refute. But the more she talked, the more she realized that, in fact, Sister Na was quite ordinary, and she immediately lost her confidence.
Shui Bing'er scoffed disdainfully, watching Hu Liena's increasingly hesitant speech. She then lowered her head and occasionally stole glances at Hu Liena's Huo Wu. "Ha, stupid girl, if you want to lend a hand, you'd better empty your brain first. You're utterly foolish..."
Seeing that Qian Renxue was also preparing to join the battle, Yu Tianshuang sighed and quickly said, "Why are you arguing over such a small matter? Don't you know what time it is? There are so many monsters outside and members of the Holy Spirit Cult hiding behind them, all eyeing us covetously. You still have the mood to play around? Shut up and prepare for battle!"
Upon hearing Yu Tianshuang speak, everyone wisely shut their mouths. To be honest, apart from Shui Bing'er, his words carried considerable weight, and everyone else listened to him very much. Shui Bing'er had no intention of arguing with them anymore and wasting her emotions. She glanced at Yu Tianshuang indifferently, noticing the fawning look in his eyes, but said nothing. She turned around, conjured Ice Phoenix, and was the first to fly towards the sky.
"Form ranks! The Sparrow Bee Sect ascends into the air to coordinate with Elders Yu Tianshuang and the other two elders in aerial combat. The rest of you, Elephant Armor Sect in front, Rock Antelope Sect and Holy Dragon Sect as the left and right vanguards, Wind Sword Sect in the center, and Fire Leopard Sect and Black Tiger Sect at the rear!"
The formation arranged by Hu Liena is a typical replacement diamond battle formation. The Elephant Armor Sect, with the strongest defense, is at the forefront of the defense. The Rock Antelope Sect and the Holy Dragon Sect, with the next strongest defense, provide support from behind and are ready to replace the defense at any time. The Wind Sword Sect, with the highest attack among the New Seven Great Sects, is in the center and attacks first. The Fire Leopard Sect and the Black Tiger Sect, with the next strongest attack, are in the rear and can replace the Wind Sword Sect when its Soul Power is exhausted.
Shui Bing'er, being in the air, naturally heard Hu Liena's words and gave a slight affirmation, saying, "Not bad..."
This woman is quite something. Although her talent is mediocre, the fact that she can gain the favor of such a ruthless woman as Bibi Dong and be chosen as Holy Maiden shows that she does have outstanding qualities. Qian Renxue couldn't help but admire her. Hu Liena's battle formation arrangement was indeed very reasonable, maximizing the advantages as much as possible.
"Holy Spirit Cult, prepare for judgment!"
Through the thick ice wall, Qian Renxue's bright eyes blazed with fury. To be so cruel to life, she was determined to wipe out the Holy Spirit Cult and never let what had happened repeat itself!
