Chapter 3509: Martial Aunt (26)

Yi Youxuan decided it was time to retreat. Now that her master was injured, continuing the fight was pointless and would only lead to further losses.

Her master had abandoned Zisha Island for her sake, and she could not let such a profound bond between master and disciple go to waste.

However, both of them were currently pinned by the giant spectral hand, making it difficult to break free.

Ning Shu struck at the pair once more. Qi Cheng immediately vomited more blood as it surged uncontrollably through his body, and his face grew increasingly ashen.

Ning Shu frowned. It seemed the world’s suppression of her ordinance powers was significant, especially when dealing with a resourceful cultivator.

Qi Cheng was also a man with hidden trump cards of his own.

Yi Youxuan was furious beyond words. These bandits!

"Detonate!" Yi Youxuan steeled her heart and directly detonated her Houyi Bow. The massive force generated by the self-destruction of a divine artifact slammed into the grand elder’s giant hand, forcing it open.

After being freed from the spectral grip, Yi Youxuan grabbed Qi Cheng and prepared to fly away.

The grand elder reached out again. His hand descended like a heavy lid to pin them both to the earth.

A thick cloud of dust billowed from the ground as both Yi Youxuan and Qi Cheng vomited blood simultaneously.

"Hand over the jade token," the grand elder said in a deep, somber voice. Zisha Island could not afford to lose that item. Both sides were fighting for the resources of the hidden realm. In this struggle, no one could call the other a bandit, and no one was truly righteous.

"You old bastard, I am not giving you anything!" Yi Youxuan wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. If she were given just a little more time, she would surely give this shameless old man a sound beating.

She had to escape now and seek revenge later. As long as the green mountains remained, there would be no need to worry about firewood.

Ning Shu flicked her finger, focusing all her concentration on Qi Cheng this time. She wanted to take down whoever she could. Since the gloves were off, the only way forward was to pull up the roots and eliminate the threat entirely.

It seemed her ordinance powers were not particularly effective here. Despite using them several times, she had been unable to kill Qi Cheng, and had only managed to inflict some injuries. Cultivators possessed the ability to control the blood, bones, and meridians within their own bodies.

It was not like the spectacular results she had achieved with her ordinance powers in other worlds.

A cultivator’s body was simply too resilient.

Qi Cheng’s internal organs were heavily damaged by the surge of his own blood, and he lost consciousness.

Yi Youxuan had no choice. While gritting her teeth, she placed Qi Cheng inside her immortal estate. It would be much easier to escape on her own, and her master was too badly injured to withstand any more trauma.

Her master had betrayed his own sect for her. Even if he eventually discovered the existence of the immortal estate, it did not matter. Besides, the estate had already recognized her as its true master.

The crowd watched as one of their targets abruptly vanished. Qi Cheng was injured and should not have been able to teleport.

The sect leader sent a telepathic message to the grand elder. "The Jiang girl said this person possesses an immortal estate and has inherited the legacy of an ancient Divine Dao sect."

The grand elder raised an eyebrow. "Such a massive opportunity?"

It sounded almost terrifying.

Even a person of great merit from ten lifetimes of good deeds would not typically be blessed with such immense luck.

"Jiang Xueci found some treasures recently, but this girl took them from her. Of course, that was only Jiang Xueci’s side of the story. Looking at things now, it is likely the truth," the sect leader told the grand elder.

The grand elder’s expression became extremely grave. "Even if we cannot seize her opportunity today, we must kill her. Otherwise, today marks the beginning of the end for our entire Zisha Island."

With luck this powerful, even a pig could be raised into a divine beast.

The grand elder grew serious. He slammed his giant spectral hand toward Yi Youxuan with the full weight of heaven’s authority. Yi Youxuan felt a prickle of terror on her scalp as she faced that vast, boundless power. She felt like a mere matchstick in the ocean, where a single wave could extinguish her.

"Detonate!" Seeing no other choice, Yi Youxuan brought out another divine artifact and blew it up. The immense power of the explosion countered the grand elder’s giant hand.

With a deafening boom, the two forces collided. The entire Zisha Island trembled, and the surrounding ocean waves surged violently.

All the disciples were filled with shock and terror. They did not know what was happening, but the overwhelming pressure from above left them trembling with fear.

"Brother, I am scared! What is happening? Where is Master?" Ye Meiyu buried her face in Ye Heyu’s chest, clutching his robes tightly.

Ye Heyu patted her back to soothe her. He looked toward the source of the commotion, unsure of the situation. Given his meager strength, even the shockwaves from that battle would be enough to kill him.

Squatting at Ye Heyu’s feet was a bird the size of a fist with only a few sparse feathers. It was shivering uncontrollably and had buried its head beneath its wings.

As the island continued to shudder, Ye Heyu hoped his master was alright. If anything happened to her, he and his sister would be left without any support or protection on Zisha Island.

From every perspective, Ye Heyu desperately hoped his master was safe. He hoped she had not even scratched a single patch of skin.

He continued to gently pat his sister’s back.

The disciples of every peak had been forbidden from leaving their quarters. For those with ordinary strength, a battle of this magnitude was certain death.

"Detonate!"

"Detonate!"

"Detonate!"

Yi Youxuan brought out several more divine artifacts and sent them to surround the grand elder. After steeling her heart, she detonated them all.

Her heart bled at the loss. The grand elder was currently the strongest combatant present. If he kept hounding her and refused to let her escape, her only option was to injure or kill him.

She had to sacrifice these divine artifacts, but Yi Youxuan was seething with hatred. Any one of these items would have been a prize for others to fight over, yet now they were being turned into heaps of scrap metal.

While she had many divine artifacts in her immortal estate, using them this way was agonizing.

However, the most important thing right now was to stay alive so she could plan for the future.

The grand elder was surrounded by the artifacts. The force of their collective self-destruction was horrifying. Even though he did his best to defend himself, he was still injured.

The aftershocks of the artifacts’ destruction injured Ning Shu and the other elders, so one could only imagine the state of the grand elder at the center of the blast.

The grand elder looked haggard. There was blood at the corner of his mouth, and he appeared quite disheveled.

Ning Shu noticed that the hand he held behind his back was trembling slightly. She knew his current condition was poor.

He was likely only holding himself together through sheer willpower.

To think Yi Youxuan was actually willing to blow up so many divine artifacts!

Having too many treasures truly made one reckless.

Yi Youxuan did not linger. She turned and stepped onto her flying sword, preparing to soar away.

The sect leader activated the sect-guarding formation. A massive barrier enveloped the entirety of Zisha Island, directly blocking Yi Youxuan’s path. She had been on the verge of flying clear of the island when the barrier stopped her.

Yi Youxuan was about to explode with rage. This was never-ending!

Did it really have to be a fight to the death?

The crowd gave chase. Yi Youxuan stood on the beach, watching them approach. Her eyes were filled with hatred and loathing for their relentless pursuit.

The people of Zisha Island, however, were determined to eliminate her. Yi Youxuan was only a Foundation Establishment cultivator, yet she had already turned the island upside down. If she were allowed to grow, the future of Zisha Island was guaranteed to be grim.
