Chapter 1067: Chapter 50 Settling Accounts After Autumn

An Zhisu and Jiang the Witch fought bitterly for over a hundred rounds, struggling fiercely.

It is often said that during confrontations within the same realm, Shushan Sword Immortals usually hold the advantage in the lower ranks, but the Kunlun Cultivators surpass them at higher ranks. At first, she thought it was because Kunlun focused on Qi Refining Techniques, excelling in depth and accumulation.

Now, matching against this formidable Heavenly Demon, An Zhisu realized the root of the issue lay within Shushan itself — too much emphasis on the Sword Control Technique.

The Sword Control Technique is characterized by speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness, extremely effective against enemies with low cultivation realms. However, when facing high-rank enemies, especially when restrained, its advantages are significantly reduced.

Facing this indestructible Heavenly Demon, no matter how many swords pierce her or how many Daoist Magics blast her, she doesn’t even bleed a bit. How should one possibly fight? How can one battle?

Knowing full well that this stalemate would eventually lead to exhaustion and defeat, An Zhisu nevertheless persistently defended, waiting for a chance to turn the tables.

Suddenly, a line of fire shot from afar, piercing into the black mist and exploding into a massive thunder.

The Nine Bushels Thunder Fire Technique, compared to the Great Bright Fire, is characterized by the violent explosion following a hit.

Jiang Lian’s black mist was immune to Sword Qi cutting, but with a blast from the Nine Bushels Thunder Fire, it immediately showed signs of losing control, forcing her to swiftly retreat from the explosion’s range, then transforming into a graceful human form, casting murderous intent in Xu Yinglian’s direction.

An Zhisu found a lifeline, realizing someone was secretly assisting her, and surprisingly didn’t hurry to retreat but instead wielded the Dual Polarity Dust Sword, ready to fight to the death with a fervent stance.

Jiang the Witch was preparing to deal with Xu Yinglian from afar but was pressed hard by An Zhisu, causing her to dodge left and right — now no longer in the vast black mist form, if she were caught in the circle of the Xuanguang Ruler, she’d surely suffer a setback.

She skillfully handled An Zhisu’s assaults while patiently biding her time to disengage and tackle Xu Yinglian. However, whenever An Zhisu’s attacks showed loopholes, Daoist Magic from afar perfectly arrived, blocking Jiang the Witch’s path of escape to the battlefield.

Although the Great Heavenly Demon is an immortal body, it can’t completely ignore any attack. For a while, being entangled by the two, her heart was filled with hatred, turning her head to shout:

“How long are you going to wait?”

“Oh!” Huan Yue the Witch hurriedly rushed out from the shadows.

The prior binding from the Dual Polarity Dust Sword had long been broken with the distance between the two. She thought her sister was leisurely toying with prey and thus hadn’t acted from the shadows.

Now her sister called for aid, so she boldly charged out… then hesitated whether to attack An Zhisu or the distant ambusher.

Seeing her eyes lingering on An Zhisu, Jiang Lian was even more furious, shouting:

“Towards the distance!”

You were just trapped by her Sword Dao Techniques, don’t you realize your own level? I’m not asking you to defeat the distant ambusher, just entangling them so they don’t disturb me would be a blessing.

“Okay!” Huan Yue immediately changed direction, charging towards Xu Yinglian.

Xu Yinglian, facing a formidable enemy, prepared to counterattack, suspecting the newcomer was also a Heavenly Demon. Just then, Shi Liuli’s secretive voice transmission came through:

“No need to worry, leave it to me.”

Can you handle it? Xu Yinglian was doubtful.

She wasn’t confident in this Dong You fellow’s capabilities but since the other insisted, she continued to support An Zhisu’s assault, though she was secretly ready to intervene.

As Huan Yue charged halfway, a formation suddenly appeared beneath her feet.

Unable to react, her form instantly disappeared without a trace.

What was that? Xu Yinglian didn’t ask but was shocked in her heart.

If Chen Guanshui were here, he would surely recognize the formation set up by Shi Liuli, as one he had personally drawn in front of her before in the Shennongjia Secret Realm — the “Boundless Water Vein Divine Travel Array.”

During her time in Penglai, she had finally found the method of crafting talisman scripts in an ancient text and emulated Chen Guanshui’s technique, transforming it into an array — one successful strike sent the enemy somewhere unknown.

Jiang Lian, seeing this scene from far away, was almost driven to spit blood from anger:

Isn’t that a Teleportation Array?

When a Teleportation Array activates, spatial fluctuations appear around it… you didn’t even notice the spatial fluctuations and just charged forward recklessly?

Fuming with rage, she suddenly turned towards An Zhisu, letting out a sharp, high-pitched shriek.

This wasn’t a Heavenly Demon Divine Ability, but the “Heavenly Demon Melodious Skill” Jiang Liyan had learned in the Heavenly Demon Path before.

An Zhisu swiftly waved the Xuanguang Ruler, placing a circle of light around herself.

The suppression power of the Xuanguang Ruler was indeed formidable, capable of blocking even the Fire Gang from the Fire Element Cave, easily isolating the Heavenly Demon Melodious Skill.

But this was exactly in Jiang the Witch’s calculations — she predicted An Zhisu would certainly use the Xuanguang Ruler’s circle of light to enclose herself, thereby blocking all attacks while also restricting her mobility.

She once again transformed into black mist, quickly closing the distance with Xu Yinglian, then retracting, creating immediate separation from An Zhisu.

Repeating this move a few times, she effortlessly withdrew from the battlefield, heading towards Xu Yinglian in the distance.

Seeing the opponent turning to chase her, Xu Yinglian quickly sent a secretive voice transmission:

“What now?”

No response.

Jiang the Witch had already crossed half the field; Xu Yinglian sent another inquiry in that direction:

“And then?”

Still no reply.

Immediately sensing trouble, she quickly leapt from hiding, her Divine Sense scanning swiftly around.

Still unable to detect anyone approaching her.

By now, Shi Liuli had quietly left her original position, not to sneak attack Xu Yinglian from behind, but choosing to bypass the battlefield, heading towards the direction of the Earth Fire Rift.

Previously, when Jiang the Witch brought her sister here, Shi Liuli noticed the straight direction they headed contained a relatively low-sea valley, which must be hiding that jerk.

To bind the Great Heavenly Demon, relying on Jiao Xiao alone definitely wouldn’t suffice, adding Qiong Ying would likely be half-hearted, an extra Dong You… Considering her own barely competent abilities, it wouldn’t make much difference whether she joined or not.

Since she couldn’t influence the outcome of the battle, why shouldn’t Qiong Ying and Jiao Xiao unite against the Heavenly Demon while she surreptitiously searches for that jerk?

Once found, Shi Liuli was confident she could persuade him to keep her to assist in mending the skies.

After all, if that jerk repaired the heavens alone, the merit he would receive might let him ascend on the spot.

If this happened, what’s the difference between being left alone in this world and a living widow?

But if she could help during the mending and share the corresponding merit, on one side it would lessen his immediate ascension chances, and on the other, rapidly increase her own cultivation level.

If it ultimately couldn’t be helped, and he had to ascend, then she’d find ways to join him in ascension.

When both spouses reached the Immortal Realm, it wouldn’t be too late to settle the score with those other women!
