Chapter 79: Li Ruoshi's Panic
Facing Li Ruoshi's outburst, even though Chu Wuyao was slightly surprised, her murderous intent didn't lessen, but became even more obvious.
The fact that Li Ruoshi seemed to have hidden her strength only served to make her even more committed to killing her.
She would have ignored her if Li Ruoshi was just someone she could easily slap to death, but now, her strength had become a threat to her.
How could Chu Wuyao be willing to let her go?
Her expression turned indifferent and an ordinary broken black sword instantly appeared in her right hand.
Although it was just a fragment and was somewhat weaker than the Blood Flag, this black sword's advantage was that it could be used for a long time, without any side-effect.
Feeling the cold wind from Li Ruoshi's sword brush against her face, Chu Wuyao raised her arm and swung the sword forward.
"Boom!"
The screeching noise of metal colliding sounded, as their swords clashed against each other many times in the blink of an eye.
Li Ruoshi's strikes were cold and indifferent, like a blizzard that wanted to completely submerge her opponent.
Her swordsmanship was ethereal and complicated and the sword in her hand shone with a bright blue light as it moved.
On the other side, although Chu Wuyao had never seriously learned any swordsmanship, she had gone through many battles during her short cultivation journey.
Coupled with her strong intuition and her superb combat learning ability, she didn't have any issue with matching Li Ruoshi's rhythm.
The broken black sword in her hand was covered in scorching black flames and she swung it forward with all her strength.
Her strikes were ruthless and filled with power and compared to Li Ruoshi's ethereal style of swordsmanship, her movements were filled with murderous intent.
The two of them seemed to have turned into a snowstorm and an exploding volcano respectively, with each trying to overwhelm each other.
Their intense fight caused destruction in the area around them and the already lacking vegetation around them was soon wiped out.
The two placed their entire attention on each other, not caring about anything else around them.
It seemed like a lot of time had passed, but in fact, from Chu Wuyao's arrival to her fight with Li Ruoshi, only a few seconds had passed.
The masked man and senior sister Yue were originally surprised by this sudden change but soon, senior sister Yue reacted.
Her eyes landed on the black sword in Chu Wuyao's hand and she instantly recognized it.
Isn't that the sword of her younger brother for which he was always proud of?
If this sword is currently on Chu Wuyao, then what happened to her brother?
In an instant, countless thoughts rushed through her mind and she was roughly able to guess what her brother's fate was.
Her face turned a little pale and then, an angry expression appeared on it.
Without wasting any time, senior sister Yue took a bunch of talismans out of her space ring and was ready to throw them forward.
Now that Chu Wuyao was busy fighting with Li Ruoshi, she felt that it was her only chance to get revenge.
Otherwise, with the strength Chu Wuyao was currently showing, she knew that she would not be able to avenge her brother.
Her choice was undoubtedly correct, but she didn't notice that a trace of struggle appeared in the masked man's eyes.
Then, without any hesitation, he swung the red sword in his hand towards senior sister Yue.
Feeling the danger, senior sister Yue turned around and found a red sword slashing towards her.
"It's you again!", she gritted her teeth and immediately activated the talismans to defend against the masked man's attack.
The talismans and the sword met in the air, cancelling each other out.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, senior sister Yue jumped back and opened up some distance.
Looking at the red sword that the masked man held, her eyes flashed with a hint of fear.
She knew very well that the reason why this masked man was able to fight against her and Li Ruoshi was not because of his strength, but because of this red sword.
If it were not for this sword, senior sister Yue felt that she could kill him easily.
But then, the fear in her eyes disappeared and was instead replaced by greed. Stay connected via empire
This red sword should be a Spiritual Weapon or even a Divine Weapon!
If she was able to make it recognize her as its owner, she would not only be able to deal with Chu Wuyao, but she would also have a bright future.
Even breaking through the Awakening Realm might be possible!
Thinking of this, the greed in her heart overcame her fear and she took out more talismans to attack the masked man.
On the other side, neither Chu Wuyao nor Li Ruoshi paid any attention to senior sister Yue and the masked man, only having the other person in their eyes.
"Bang!"
Their two swords clashed with each other, causing a burst of golden sparks to appear.
As a result of their collision, they were both forced to take a few steps back to relieve the force.
However, it was very clear who had the advantage in their fight.
Looking at the flowing blood in her hand, Li Ruoshi's face darkened.
She didn't expect that even after she unsealed her cultivation, Chu Wuyao would still be able to keep up with her.
In fact, not only was she able to keep up with her, but she faintly had an advantage.
"This can't go on any longer.", she thought and immediately, she made a decision.
After she put the blue sword back in her space ring, she jumped up and flew in the air.
With a move of her hand, tens of arrows made out of ice appeared and then flew towards Chu Wuyao below her.
Obviously, since she couldn't win against Chu Wuyao head-on, she was planning to use her ability to fly as a way to gain an advantage.
When Chu Wuyao saw the incoming arrows, she understood Li Ruoshi's choice.
However, she didn't become worried, but instead become excited.
This was the opportunity she had been waiting for!
"It's now!", she thought secretly and with a thought of her mind, a flag appeared right above her head.
The flag had a black flagpole that was densely covered in golden runes, while the flag itself was dark red in color, like the color of blood.
It's as if the blood of countless people had been used as its paint.
The moment the Blood Flag appeared, it exuded a strong aura that oppressed everything around it, like a king showing their majesty.
Since the last time Chu Wuyao used it, her strength had improved dramatically.
Now, controlling this Magic Weapon was way easier and she was able to bring out more of its power.
Following her thoughts, the Blood Flag floating above her head moved on its own, its flag waving.
The sound of waves spread, as a large amount of blood gushed out of the Blood Flag and rose upwards, meeting the incoming arrows.
The blood and the arrows came into contact, but the unexpected collision didn't happen.
Instead, the arrows dissolved instantly into a liquid that fell into the blood, enhancing the blood's power even further.
Seeing this, Li Ruoshi's intuition warned her of danger and she wanted to take the blue sword out of her space ring to defend.
Unfortunately, Chu Wuyao didn't give her any chance.
While the ocean of blood rose upwards targeting Li Ruoshi, a bunch of dark red chains flew out of the Blood Flag.
Their speed was extremely fast and in the blink of an eye, they had appeared next to Li Ruoshi.
"Clang!"
The chains seemed to have a will of their own and they landed on Li Ruoshi's four limbs, tying her up.
For the first time since the start of the fight, Li Ruoshi showed a panicked expression and her whole body shook, trying to break these chains and break free.
Unfortunately, even though the chains rattled and cracks started appearing on them, it was already too late.
The huge ocean made out of blood was reflected in her black eyes and hundreds of thin, mummified hands poked out of it, reaching towards her body.
The next second, her figure was engulfed completely by this ocean.
