Chapter 3512: Martial Aunt (29)
Yi Youxuan was now hiding inside her turtle shell and refused to come out. Meanwhile, the immortal estate kept ramming against the barrier. It was likely that the formation would break before long, and the estate would vanish in the blink of an eye.
Where would they go to find her then? How could they possibly track her down?
The streak of light the immortal estate had transformed into was miniscule and moved with incredible speed. It was simply impossible to catch.
This was a goddamn nightmare!
Everyone present felt utterly helpless.
They could do nothing but continue to reinforce the barrier over and over again.
If they really let this person escape now that they had become mortal enemies, Zisha Island would have no way to resist when she eventually returned for her revenge.
Ning Shu kept adding water to the barrier, strengthening it incessantly, yet she still could not stop the immortal estate from damaging it.
It seemed as though nothing she did could change the situation. She felt a profound sense of powerlessness.
Ning Shu released the celestial energy from her body, forming a surge of energy. She compressed the dragon-shaped force until it was tiny—no larger than a little loach—and sent it to chase after the immortal estate, entangling it in a frantic struggle.
Every bit of power she could drain from the estate to buy more time increased their chances of victory.
The two streaks of light twisted around each other, clashing and weaving. The dragon-shaped energy actually managed to swallow the immortal estate in one gulp and even let out a burp. However, in the next second, the estate burst right through the dragon's body.
The energy surge immediately chased after it and swallowed it again, only for the estate to break out once more.
On the surface, it looked as though they were having a grand old time playing a game.
Inside the immortal estate, Yi Youxuan was frantic with anxiety. She still had not broken through the barrier.
Yi Youxuan steeled her heart and struck her own chest, vomiting a mouthful of essence blood onto the walls of the estate. After absorbing her heart's blood, the immortal estate’s power surged. It spun violently. The streak of light moved even faster as it hammered against the barrier.
Ning Shu was nearly exhausted. Under the relentless assault of the immortal estate, the barrier had become as thin as a sheet of paper.
One or two more hits and it would surely shatter.
Ning Shu’s hands moved in rapid seals to reinforce the barrier, while inside the estate, Yi Youxuan kept striking her chest to vomit more essence blood.
These people…
Yi Youxuan felt like she was about to explode. Beside her lay Qi Cheng, who was currently a literal bloody mess.
She took out a pill and fed it to him. She felt that her master was actually quite weak, having been ‘defeated before the battle was even won.’
He had been injured by the mob and had now completely lost his combat effectiveness.
Yi Youxuan grabbed a bottle and jumped out of the immortal estate.
She appeared abruptly, staring at the deathly pale Ning Shu with eyes full of hatred. "You should know what is in this bottle," she spat. "If you continue to push me like this, I will release the Innate True Fire and burn all of Zisha Island to the ground."
"Aside from the Innate True Fire, I also have the Nine Heavens Divine Wind Fire." Yi Youxuan produced a second bottle.
"Never mind your barrier—these can incinerate anything in existence."
Everyone: …
Just bring out everything you have and scare us to death, why don't you?
Yi Youxuan faced the crowd with the bottles held firmly in her hands.
The sect leader turned to Ning Shu. "What do you think of this?"
Ning Shu nodded. "One of the bottles does contain Innate True Fire. As for whether the other one contains the Nine Heavens Divine Wind Fire, the ultimate flame, I am not certain."
The sect leader: …
The grand elder: …
The other elders: …
To let her go or not to let her go? That was the question.
Yi Youxuan gave a cold snort and opened one of the bottles. Flames surged out and clung to the barrier, beginning to burn through it.
Waves of intense heat slammed into Zisha Island. The leaves on the island's plants instantly turned yellow and shriveled. The heat was becoming unbearable.
The weaker disciples were now flushed red and in immense pain. Even the water on the island began to steam as if it were boiling, and the earth started to crack as every drop of moisture was evaporated by the fire.
Ning Shu hurried to use water to combat the flames. Huge waves surged up to extinguish the fire, but ordinary water was useless against Innate True Fire. Only Innate True Water of the same grade could put it out.
Ning Shu took a deep breath. Her fingers twisted in a complex pattern. Seawater rushed toward her, and she began to compress it relentlessly, attempting to transform it into Weak Water1Weak Water or Ruoshui is water so lacking in specific gravity that even a feather would not float. and see if it might be able douse the flames.
"If you let me leave now, I will retract the Innate True Fire. Otherwise, I will burn Zisha Island to ash," Yi Youxuan said, while keeping a close eye on the barrier. Under the assault of the fire, the formation had become extremely weak. It would break in no time.
Even Yi Youxuan did not dare to get too close to the flames.
Ning Shu poured the Weak Water over the fire. As the two elements met, a massive amount of white steam erupted with a fierce hissing sound.
The entire island was soon shrouded in a thick mist.
Ning Shu was frustrated. She thought, ‘If I cannot even handle this little bit of fire, what kind of ordinance embodiment am I?’
She continued to compress the water, certain she could extinguish it. She really needed to learn more about being the embodiment of an ordinance.
Ning Shu used the compressed Weak Water to reinforce the barrier, which proved far more effective than using ordinary water.
Yi Youxuan was livid.
Was she a lunatic?
Why was she so determined to fight her to the bitter end?
Furthermore, this woman’s strength had exceeded her wildest imagination.
If even this did not work, Yi Youxuan truly did not know what other trump cards she had left.
At worst, she would release the Nine Heavens Divine Wind Fire and burn everything to nothingness.
"Jiang Xueci, let's see how much fire you can extinguish." Yi Youxuan opened the second bottle. The substance that emerged was colorless and odorless, moving like a gust of wind. Yet wherever this wind blew, everything was annihilated and ceased to exist.
The Nine Heavens Divine Wind Fire could burn anything.
Soul, body, and even the plane of existence itself—wherever it blew, only a void remained.
Fortunately, there was only a sliver of this fire, so it did not act like a raging gale.
However, as it touched the barrier, even the Innate True Fire—which was also a fire element—was annihilated into nothingness.
The moment this fire appeared, the barrier was instantly shattered. Yi Youxuan dove back into her immortal estate and prepared to fly away.
She didn't even care about reclaiming the Innate True Fire or the Nine Heavens Divine Wind Fire.
The immortal estate turned into a streak of light and prepared to vanish. Ning Shu swore in her heart. She was actually going to escape like this!?
Ning Shu flicked her finger, and a wave ten thousand feet high rose to block the estate. The estate simply pierced straight through the wave.
Ning Shu continued to compress the water, using the Weak Water to manifest a new barrier. It encased the streak of light like a bubble, and the light began to bounce around frantically inside it.
Yi Youxuan was trapped.
Ning Shu reached out and caught the bubble-like barrier in her hand. She hoped Yi Youxuan didn't have any more Nine Heavens Divine Wind Fire, or she wouldn't know how to stop her.
The immortal estate dashed about inside the barrier. Within the crystal-ball-sized sphere, the estate looked like a beam of light hitting the walls in every direction. Each time it struck, the barrier trembled.
Ning Shu had to constantly repair the barrier, otherwise it would eventually break.
She had no way to deal with the immortal estate itself right now, so her only option was to keep it trapped like this.
Ning Shu flew back toward Zisha Island, which was currently a literal sea of flames.
