This Is Not the Female Demon Lord I Remembered -
Chapter 134: Stars and Moon
Chapter 134: Chapter 134: Stars and Moon
Su Youyi sat cross-legged on the grass, with her Spirit Sword laid horizontally before her knees, surrounded by colorful auroras extending three zhang outwards, isolating the dense surroundings outside of the aurora from nearing her.
Through stillness she controlled motion, if the enemy did not move, neither would she.
Su Youyi’s heart was calm like still water, ready to unleash her unmatched sword edge on anyone who dared to come within three zhang.
However, she also harbored some subtle worries, uncertain of how her senior brother was.
Even she was unable to disperse this strange fog. When her Divine Sense was extended, it disappeared without a trace like a clay ox entering the sea as soon as it touched the fog, completely unable to gather any information.
Su Youyi had been trained by Chen Hua for far longer than Liang Yi, and from the moment he took her under his wing, Chen Hua saw great potential in this exceptionally talented little disciple. He was very certain that Youyi’s future achievements would not only match but might even surpass his.
Although Su Youyi had not left Youdao Mountain for nine years, she had experienced nearly all the martial arts from various sects in the world. The chanting from Zen, the sword edges from Heavenly Pool, the Star Dao Technique from Complete Heaven Sect, the Dragon Energy of the Xuanzhou Immortal Dynasty rulers...
From the top-tier Super Forces to the second-tier major forces, as long as they were sects Chen Hua had visited, he could more or less simulate them in the Illusion Realm.
He did not learn the Sword Births All Techniques Conception from the Sword Realm, but integrated its concept into his own Sword Dao. Moreover, anyone capable of exchanging blows with Chen Hua was a peak Great Cultivator of the Seventh Realm, and although he couldn’t mimic the core techniques of other sects completely, he could still simulate a fraction of their essence.
It was in such an environment that Su Youyi grew step by step; from the moment she started training, her sparring partner in actual combat was the number one person in the world! Coupled with her learning talents and astonishing cultivation speed, which even Chen Hua marveled at, Su Youyi possessed extreme self-confidence.
After an unknown amount of time, Su Youyi felt a bit puzzled; did the Devouring Spirit Sect really just want to trap her and her senior brother here, or had they gone to deal with her senior brother first?!
Thinking of this, Su Youyi became restless.
If they were coming to deal with her, she could wait indefinitely. But if the Devouring Spirit Sect was targeting her senior brother first, wouldn’t she be falling right into their trap by sitting idly?
Just as Su Youyi was about to stand up, a winding and serene flute melody drifted through the wind!
The melodious flute sound came with the breeze, not loud, playing a tranquil piece that instantly soothed her somewhat agitated heart.
Though the flute sound was very close to her, Su Youyi could not discern from which direction it came.
The flute music contained no aggressive elements, just a simple tune. According to Su Youyi’s limited experience with music, this performer was also one of those with extremely superb skills.
Although unsure of who the visitor was, Su Youyi still remained cautious. She hadn’t forgotten that this Great Formation was laid by the Devouring Spirit Sect.
As the tune finished, a figure holding a bamboo flute slowly emerged from the white fog.
Dressed in a blue cloud-geese long dress, Su Youyi and Wan Tinggui in a moon-white embroidered cheongsam faced each other, both of exquisite beauty which at the moment, unfortunately, had no admirers.
"Are you from the Devouring Spirit Sect?" Su Youyi asked the tranquil-faced veiled girl, somewhat puzzled. The previous members of the Devouring Spirit Sect were either black or hidden, suddenly this beautiful figure was unlike anything she had encountered from the sect.
Su Youyi had a slight favorable impression of the flute-playing girl, hence the confirmation.
"Do you know how many people are there with your senior brother?" Instead of answering Su Youyi’s question, Wan Tinggui leisurely counter-questioned.
Upon hearing this, Su Youyi’s body tensed subconsciously, her expression unfriendly.
"One Fifth Realm Cultivator, five Third Realm Cultivators, all in this dense fog surrounding and attacking your senior brother," Wan Tinggui directly revealed to Su Youyi the situation over at Liang Yi’s end, with a smile in her eyes as she surveyed the girl a few years younger than herself.
With a cold expression, Su Youyi ignored Wan Tinggui and immediately drew her sword. Her senior brother was currently in danger, and she had no time to waste words here.
However, Su Youyi’s splendid sword strike was effortlessly blocked by Wan Tinggui using a bamboo flute. Only then did Su Youyi realize that this flute-playing young girl was at the peak of the Fourth Realm, while she herself had only just entered the mid-stage of the Fourth Realm.
Facing Wan Tinggui’s seemingly smiling yet not smiling gaze, Su Youyi dared not be negligent at all. Suddenly, a crescent moon’s phantom emerged behind her, surrounded by clusters of clouds shimmering against the colorful dawn.
Moon Cloud Meeting Decree!
Wanting to resolve the battle quickly, Su Youyi abandoned most of her defenses and opted for a strategy of trading blow for blow.
Wan Tinggui’s expression gradually grew serious. When her bamboo flute struck Su Youyi, it was as if it had pierced into white clouds, causing no damage whatsoever. However, Su Youyi’s flawless sword technique targeted her opponent’s lethal spots with every move!
Taking a deep breath, Wan Tinggui was not to be outdone. A star lit up above her head, specifically, the Alioth of the Big Dipper.
From three feet above Wan Tinggui’s head, the Alioth star sprinkled down beams of starlight, defending against Su Youyi’s unmatched sword’s edge.
Seeing that Su Youyi’s sword’s edge posed no immediate threat to her, Wan Tinggui formed hand seals, and countless strands of black mist appeared, transforming the surroundings into a ghostly realm. At the center of this ghostly realm, a moon and a star chased each other.
The starlight was hazy, hidden in the starry sky, subtly appearing and disappearing around the waning moon, constantly seeking the right moment to strike.
The bright moon was clear, hanging in the Milky Way, unafraid of petty sneak attacks, dissolving any approaching assaults before they could get close.
The more Wan Tinggui acted, the more alarmed she became. Su Youyi seemed almost demonically formidable, whether it was sonic attacks, swordplay, or various Daoist skills, all were effortlessly countered by her!
The waning moon hung behind her, blocking attacks from all sides, coupled with Su Youyi’s graceful and flowing movement technique. If one was not careful, the opponent could easily switch from defense to offense. It seemed that Wan Tinggui was pressuring Su Youyi, but the actual damage inflicted was minimal.
"Does Su Youyi have no weaknesses?" Wan Tinggui kept up her offensive, but this thought surfaced in her mind.
"No, there is one fatal weakness."
Thinking of a young man with an impressive demeanor seen on the other side of the mist, Wan Tinggui looked at Su Youyi with a somewhat amused expression. Such a stunning woman, yet she had such an obvious weakness—it was indeed hard to predict the turns of life.
"It’s good that the purpose of this visit wasn’t really to fight."
"Is it about time? Why is it so slow over there?"
Though Wan Tinggui felt pressured by Su Youyi’s toughness, she did hold back quite a bit this time. Releasing her Daoist skills carelessly, Wan Tinggui glanced in another direction several times—Liang Yi wouldn’t really have been killed, right?
Suddenly, a flowing sword intent, ignoring the barriers of the mist, swept across both Su Youyi and Wan Tinggui, chilling their hearts. The terrifying sword intent caused both of them to feel a shudder of fear.
"What’s this?"
Su Youyi abruptly looked towards the direction from which the sword intent came. This sword intent, and the conception of ’Sword Births All Techniques’ in the sword seals, shared a mysterious but similar genius!
"It’s Senior Brother!" Joy filled Su Youyi’s eyes, to the point that she even forgot the formidable enemy before her.
Fortunately, this formidable enemy was also a slacker, with no real intention of dealing with Su Youyi. Her goal was merely to leverage Liang Yi’s life-saving secret to eliminate those people.
Now, it seemed the effect was good!
Satisfied, Wan Tinggui casually tossed something onto the ground. Before Su Youyi could react, she turned and walked into the white mist, disappearing from sight.
