Chapter 19: The Great Home-Wrecking Battle

Wan Ruicai felt unsure whether to laugh or be angry upon hearing what He Youzhou said.

However, he used his feather fan to cover his face, hiding his emotions from the others.

They had the numbers on their side, after all. What kind of thing do the people of Divine Vision Sect Sect able to come up with?

Feeling slighted, Wan Ruicai fanned himself a bit more vigorously.

The feather fan stirred up a fierce wind, howling as it blew forward, strong enough to topple buildings.

Although it seemed his target was Zhi Shi, in reality, he aimed to take Yu Lan's life.

He thought Yu Lan hadn't told anyone about the situation, since he would sense it once she spoke up.

Unfortunately, he overestimated his own intuition, never considering that something might block his spiritual senses.

Zhi Shi and He Youzhou's words made him realize his secret had already been exposed.

Since that was the case, he had to find an excuse to annihilate this rundown Divine Vision Sect Sect.

As a disciple of the Verdant Mountain Sect, if his use of the Blood Essence Pill were exposed, even his father couldn't protect him.

Now, Divine Vision Sect Sect harboring a demoness was a perfect excuse for him to act, allowing him to wipe them out completely.

The only issue was what that tall woman would do.

‘Let's see what you'll do.’ His initial attack, even if it didn't hurt Yu Lan, could test her combat abilities.

Zhi Shi noticed the gust of wind infused with spiritual energy and raised her hand.

"Flashy nonsense," she muttered as the bell on her wrist jingled softly.

In a duel, flashy spells like that Wan Ruicai used were rendered meaningless.

To maximize power, one must concentrate on the use of their spiritual energy.

There are countless spells, but no one said the spiritual energy-driven "molds" couldn't be altered.

Wan Ruicai's wide-area attack spell would obviously be condensed into a smaller wind blade that contains dozens of times the original spell power.

But Zhi Shi wasn't about to tell him that.

"Tengshe." Zhi Shi looked indifferently at the disciples of Verdant Mountain Sect.

"Hiss—" A giant snake flicks its tongue, and the gust created by Wan Ruicai abruptly vanished.

Amid the thick fog, a giant snake with red wings coiled and spiraled towards Wan Ruicai.

Despite its massive size, the snake seemed remarkably agile in the fog.

"Gliding" was the only word that could describe its every movement.

Wan Ruicai was shocked at the approaching snake.

He recognized it as a shikigami, which surprised him even more, "Why is there a shikigami!?"

The shikigami's combat power matched the summoner's strength, meaning that Zhi Shi, being at the Foundation Building stage, had a shikigami of equal strength.

However, the summoning technique for shikigami was thought to be lost long ago, so how could it appear in this dilapidated sect?

"Wretched beast! Back off!" Wan Ruicai shouted, dropping his usual refined demeanor.

A wall of wind infused with spiritual energy rose sharply in front of Wan Ruicai, blocking Tengshe's path.

Tengshe crashed into the wind wall but couldn't break through.

Though the wall was only made of wind, Tengshe's impact felt like hitting steel.

‘Not even a challenge!’ Sensing that Tengshe couldn't shatter his wind wall, Wan Ruicai's lips curled into a smirk.

But before he could relish his success, Tengshe reared its head again, mouth filled with thick fog.

This time, the spiritual energy in the wind wall dissipated upon contact with the fog.

Without the spiritual energy, the wind wall was just an ordinary gust and couldn't stop Tengshe's charge.

Wan Ruicai tried to shield himself with his feather fan, but the spiritual energy he used as a shield also vanished upon contact with the fog.

As a practitioner specializing in spells, without spiritual energy, he was helpless.

Tengshe's tail swept, sending Wan Ruicai flying out of the hall, coughing up blood.

"Why–why is my spiritual energy dissipating?" He stared in disbelief at the giant snake moving through the fog.

He had heard of methods to diminish spiritual energy, but Tengshe's effect was not diminishing—it was erasing.

Seeing their senior brother defeated so easily, the other Verdant Mountain Sect disciples retreated.

"Evil sorcery!" Wan Ruicai cursed, climbing to his feet.

He realized the spiritual energy only disappeared momentarily and returned after a brief interval.

It seemed Tengshe merely transferred the spiritual energy, rather than devouring or erasing it.

In that case, there was no need for fear as long as he avoided the fog.

He slapped his feather fan heavily.

The feathers scattered, each transforming into a spiritual bird, bypassing Tengshe and flying towards Yu Lan.

Wan Ruicai's target remained Yu Lan, knowing that attacking Zhi Shi directly wouldn't be very effective.

If Zhi Shi wanted to protect Yu Lan, she would have to expose a significant weakness.

Come on! Go save that woman! And expose your weakness!

These spirit birds, exceptionally agile, easily evaded Tengshe's surrounding fog.

In a moment, they would reach Yu Lan and take her life.

Zhi Shi saw through Wan Ruicai's scheme but still had to protect Yu Lan.

"Tengshe!" she called, "Return!"

Tengshe obeyed, sweeping away a large number of spirit birds with its body.

At the same time, Zhi Shi leaped forward, punching towards Wan Ruicai.

Unlike Wan Ruicai, Zhi Shi practiced both spells and body cultivation.

Despite Zhi Shi's fierce attack, Wan Ruicai remained unafraid.

His only concern was his spiritual energy disappearing; with it, he had no fear on close combat.

Using his fan as a sword, he met Zhi Shi's seemingly frail fist.

Boom! The clash of two seemingly weak objects produced a shockwave strong enough to almost crack the hall's walls.

Meanwhile, Tengshe's attack on the spirit birds nearly shattered the floor.

He Youzhou, seeing the mat beside him blown away by the shockwave, felt uneasy, ‘Will this be okay?’

If they kept fighting like this, the Divine Vision sect might be erased first before the winner of the battle’s decided.

He had worked hard to become the sect master, and it would be too sad if the sect were destroyed.
