"What level is your cultivation?"
"High Stage Martial Honor, my master restrained my cultivation to Martial Honor until I am able to gather all his inheritance" He Li answered.
"Same, our masters are birds of the same feathers"
'Of course, your masters should have been a fated couple, so are you two' Innately thought their two artifact spirits as the two listened in, Xiao Shen and Xiao Ling are spirit bodies so they are only an image and weren't really there, like ghosts of sorts, so they weren't affected by the sudden appearance of the spirit beasts.
"Those two are Mid Stage Saints so if we work together it shouldn't be too much of a problem" Both of them were far from ordinary so they should have little problem fighting in the enemies' territory despite the fact that the spirit beasts are much better adapted to the environment and are generally stronger than humans.
"En" He Li was thinking the same, the fight could attract other spirit beasts so it's best for them to quickly finish it, the quicker the better.
Zi Hua brought out the sword she had made using the water spirit beast's core, it was a blue katana that had beautiful decorations on the scabbard, she had to fight in style after all.
She had learned all sorts of martial arts and weaponry wielding on earth, she even learned how to fight with a club.
She was planning on making something similar to a gun but was still working on the blueprints due to the different materials available here.
He Li had brought out a pair of black duel swords that had a red tint to them, the blades glistened in the sun.
The pair of duel swords was something given to him by his master so he used them most of the time, after all, what was the use of keeping it for decoration, however he was also trained in other weaponry and martial arts by his master to ensure that he was flexible in battle.
"You take on the centipede and I'll take on the scorpion" He Li shouted as they charged towards the spirit beasts.
The two then headed to their respective opponent.
Zi Hua landed of the scorpion's back and then stabbed her sword through its sturdy armor causing it to issue a piercing cry, the scorpion became furious from the sneak attack that was dealt on it during its fight with the centipede.
He Li couldn't jump on the centipede's back do it constantly wriggling around so he aimed for the underbelly and gave it a large slash.
The two spirit beasts did not notice the two humans due to them being too small and they being preoccupied by their fight.
They were furious that they were harmed by two puny ants so the two spirit beasts halted their attacks on each other and began to strike the two humans.
The scorpion ejected venomous liquid continuously towards Zi Hua as well as trying to stab her with its tail at the same time, which she both magnificently dodged, she then condensed her spiritual power onto the sword and slashed the air, the air strike hit the scorpion and beheaded it.
The centipede spat poison towards He Li and threw an onslaught of its scales, He Li beautifully dodged the scales however was stuck in a dead spot and couldn't avoid the poison that was spat at him.
The fight had caused sand to whip up into the air but thankfully they both had masks to protect their eyes.
He tried to move but found that he was locked in place by the scales attack, if he moved he would still be hit with some of the poison and even worse, be cut by the scales.
The poison would quickly take into action and corrode his skin, even if he manages to be cured it will take at least a few weeks to recover which will force him to recuperate in the Heaven-defying artifact, going against his original determined plan.
