Chapter 447: 248 "Dark Clouds" (First Update)_2

Bai Ye’s Energy web had not yet dissipated, and the Red Powder Plant was clearly very wary of it, rising for a while before stopping and vigilantly "watching" the huge Energy web.

The Energy web was not a Magic Artifact, being entirely formed of Energy, and couldn’t be retracted. However, Bai Ye, knowing that Fang Yuxin wanted to test the Red Powder Plant’s strength, stopped infusing Spiritual Energy into the Energy web.

As more and more sparrows crashed into the Energy web and were electrocuted to a crisp, the Spiritual Energy clinging to the web dwindled until it vanished completely, and the entire Energy web silently dissipated in mid-air.

The sparrows were extremely wary of this web, and once it disappeared, the remaining sparrows plummeted from the sky, charging towards Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye like lightning. The two simply watched as a dense mass of black sparrows swooped down as if they would be completely submerged by the sparrows in the next instant.

There was not a trace of fear on their faces; in fact, they even put away the swords and knives in their hands, watching with guarded gazes as the sparrows pressed closer.

However, just as the sparrows were about to reach them, the Red Powder Plant, which had been lying dormant, suddenly sprung into action! Its branches stretched out incessantly, quickly weaving into a huge web that shielded Fang Yuxin and Bai Ye in its midst.

Huge leaves overlapped each other, concealing the flowers, leaving only the flower stamens with open mouths, extending between the gaps of the leaves. The thick branches were covered in sharp spikes which were not exposed but cunningly hidden underneath the leaves, lying in ambush.

Countless sparrows swooped down, spreading their claws like hooks, ready to tear the leaves to shreds. However, the moment their claws touched the leaves, spikes fiercely protruded from between the gaps, some piercing right through the sparrows’ claws, some even more fortunate, impaling the sparrows completely.

The sparrows cried out in panic, but in the next moment, the flower stamens with open mouths plunged into their bodies, relentlessly drawing out their blood and flesh.

Their cries grew even more frantic. Flapping their wings desperately, they tried to break free, but soon, their bodies were pierced through by more spikes.

The remaining sparrows, witnessing this scene, were frightened into a halt, hesitating whether to flee. Just then, Bai Ye emerged from behind the Red Powder Plant.

With the help of the Red Powder Plant, things had clearly become much easier for him and Fang Yuxin. Although the number of sparrows was great, they were not without natural predators, so the two were not too worried.

Bai Ye deliberately stepped out, intending to take the opportunity to practice his sword skills.

In the rapidly advancing modern society, swords, as weapons, were no longer used by people, having become more of decorative artifacts or performance props.

Although Bai Ye was proficient with a number of cold weapons, compared to the sword, he was more adept with blades. Since he had received the inheritance of the Dragon Scale Sword, he had no choice but to practice sword skills. Fortunately, with his martial arts foundation and the ability to learn by analogy, he had managed to improve his sword skills in a short period of time.

Having just advanced a level, he needed to practice new sword techniques, and now was the chance.

He did not want to miss it.

Fang Yuxin guessed his intentions, so she didn’t stop him. Nonetheless, she immediately saw a group of sparrows suddenly swooping down from mid-air, heading aggressively towards Bai Ye. In the blink of an eye, Bai Ye was enveloped by the flock, the sparrows forming a giant cocoon around him.

Fang Yuxin’s heart leaped when she saw this. Then, she saw several streams of Sword Qi emanate from the giant cocoon; the moment the Sword Qi appeared, the whole cocoon was slashed open from the inside.

Dozens of sparrows were cleaved in half by the Sword Qi, falling heavily to the ground, their blood splashing spectacularly. But quickly, more sparrows dove down from the sky, filling in the gaps.

Fang Yuxin stopped watching at this point, trusting that Bai Ye would be fine. Bai Ye had begun his own battle, and now it was her turn.

Thinking this, her fingers continued to form hand gestures. She was not a Fire Spirit Root and didn’t have a Fire Spirit Talisman; to conjure flames, she had to perform certain hand gestures.

Her current hand gestures were complex, her fingers dancing continuously, revealing a mysterious rhythm. And with the dance of her fingers, the Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy in the surrounding air gradually gathered towards her fingertips.

Finally, a basketball-sized Fireball appeared in front of her.

Fang Yuxin took a deep breath and injected a stream of Wood Energy into the Fireball. Wood fuels fire, and with this stream of Wood Energy, the Fireball instantly expanded to twice its original size.

Then, Fang Yuxin delivered the final hand gesture. In the instant the hand gesture was made, the Fireball in front of her instantly burst into countless smaller Fireballs, which flew over the Red Powder Plant, hurtling toward the sparrows hovering in mid-air, poised to strike.

The magic Fang Yuxin used was none other than the simplified version of "Starfire" once wielded by Qu Qianhe. However, Fang Yuxin had a Pure Wood Spirit Body and was not a Fire Spirit Root; it took her more than twice as long to cast the spell compared to Qu Qianhe, and her control over the flames was not as skilled.

Qu Qianhe could divide the Fireball into pieces the size of longan fruits, but she could only manage the size of fists. Fortunately, she had stimulated the Fireball with Wood Energy, making the flames more vigorous, which somewhat compensated for the deficiencies.

The sparrows in mid-air clustered tightly together, forming a dark "cloud"; when the Fireballs were launched, the flock instantly scattered with shrill screams. They were fast, dispersing in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, there were many Fireballs, and most hit their targets, with only a few missing.

The sparrows’ feathers were completely dry, and as soon as they encountered the Fireballs, they burst violently into flames. Soon, the air was filled with the strong aroma of roasted meat.(To be continued.
