Chapter 52: Fight Between The Disciples...
The young man swung his spear, shattering all the silver needles hurtling toward him and sending their fragments scattering in all directions. Without hesitation, he lunged forward, closing the distance between himself and the woman. With a sharp cry, he swung his spear at her waist, aiming to cleave her in two.
The lady was immediately shocked and filled with rage. She faintly felt the feeling of death for a moment there, and she immediately executed the movement techniques, appearing a few feet away from the man, creating some distance between them.
Her green Daoist robe fluttered in the air as she raised her hand. She thrust her hand forward, and in an instant, more than twenty needles flew out. They converged mid-flight and formed something similar to a shimmering shield that surged toward the young man like a meteor.
"This is bad." The man could immediately see the crux of the problem: The needles had converged, and he knew if the shield hit him, he would definitely be pierced in different parts of his body. Besides, the attack was too fast; he didn’t believe for a moment that Kranos could save him in time.
His mind moved rapidly, and he thought of a countermeasure. Immediately, his eyes lit up, and, gripping his spear tightly, he shot it forward. The ’shield’ was barely a few feet away when the spear rushed towards it at greater speed.
In the blink of an eye, the two weapons collided and both attacks were destroyed but just as the man sighed in relief, a gust of wind blew by... the next moment, his hair stood on end.
He felt something sharp prickling his neck. He turned around and saw that the female cultivator had unknowingly, at some point, appeared behind him in a gust of wind. At the same time, a needle was held in her hand, which pointed menacingly towards his neck.
If she wanted, in that moment, she could have killed him, he could faintly guess some things and had a rough idea of how he was defeated.
"Wind element? How nice," Kranos praised from the side as he approached the two. They were both evenly matched, but because of the fact that the young lady possessed the wind element, she was able to take her movement technique to a new level, while the young man, without an elemental affinity, could only let his life be in her hands.
Upon seeing Kranos approach, both cultivators immediately bowed in respect, "This disciple dares not accept the esteemed one’s praise." The lady shook her head in response.
Kranos smiled faintly and tossed her a spatial ring. Catching it, she quickly probed its contents and gasped. Inside were three hundred high-grade mana stones. Her eyes widened in delight, and she couldn’t stop expressing her gratitude.
