Chapter 25 - Chapter 25

When he comes out from the kitchen, he sees him holding a dagger. Dragging his body Lee Genji wants to get out of the house and slowly towards the main door. Lee Guang steps on his father's arm, "Ahhh!" his father screams. After stepping on his father's arm, he proceeds to step on his father's beer belly hard, and then he bends downwards to stab and scratch his father's face. Lee Genji screams fill the house.

The scratch is deep and it reaches the bone. The neighbour already used to hear a scream and crying in this neighborhood, that is why no one comes to check on them. When he wants to continue. Lee Guang hears a whistle ringing in his ears, 'Master is calling for me.' Lee Guang kicks his father's head and gets out of the house. Lee Genji that is being kicked at the head is seeing stars and blackout.

Li Zian smirks at Hui. She is rapidly absorbing spiritual energy from the spiritual stone on both of her palms. The surrounding spiritual energy also swirls around her. Hui's eyes turn sharp seeing Li Zian, the rate of absorption of spiritual energy is too fast and how did she absorb that without any fear of bursting? Unless she has high-grade talent, impossible! Hui chided in his mind.

Hui is circling Li Zian to find an opportunity to attack her. Since Ling Min Zhe is busy with Zi You, he will finish the Jiangong. He throws a few seeds at Li Zian but all of them turn into ashes. He takes a proper look and understanding dawns on him, "Damn! She is absorbing anything!" Hui grows his seed using his resentment energy and lets his plants spit out acids and thorns towards Li Zian.

Li Zian takes out a sword and stabs it on the ground. The sword let out a small hum and the illusion of a big sword projected in front of Li Zian. The thorns are being deflected by the swords and the acids collide with the big sword illusion and slide down to the ground creating a sizzling sound. Seeing that the thorns and the acids are unable to injure her, Li Zian gives a provocative look at Hui. She thought Hui would feel rage and continue attacking but he is calm and let out a smile. What is he up to?

'It is time, the poison should do its work now! Oh! How marvelous to see the Jiangong turns into a poodle of blood.' Hui's smile is getting wider, he almost burst into a laugh but he controls himself.

Li Zian's worry is not baseless, Hui is indeed scheming something. While monitoring Hui, Li Zian feels a vibration in her sleeve. She takes out a glob of the spiritual ball. Inside the ball is resentment energy trying to corrode the spiritual energy that trapping it.

'Well...well...well, what do we have here? Li Zian's cultivation technique that able to absorb anything into energy have a safety barrier to filter harmful substances from entering her body. She is not strong enough right now to absorb anything and crush it into energy. Wait until she enters Core Formation, at that time seventy percent of the harmful object or energy she absorbs will be crushed into energy.

"Erm! You there, are you waiting for this thing to kill me!?"

Hui's smiling lips start to twitch into a weird shape. It is so funny and bizarre. To hide his shame, he instructs his plants to attack while he throws leaves towards Li Zian. Those leaves, acids, and thorns' strength and speed are three times stronger than before. The sword is being pushed to the back for about five inches. At this time, the spiritual stones on Li Zian's palm turn into ashes, and the spiritual energy stop swirling around her.

Li Zian stands up and grips on the sword. She lifts it and once again the sword hum and it disperses the big sword illusion. The sword nestles perfectly on Li Zian's palm. Li Zian runs towards Hui but he did not fear her. She did not have that arrow anymore. That kind of weapon cannot be mass produce.

Hui throws his leaves and his plants keep attacking with acids and thorns. Li Zian avoids nimbly and uses the swords to cut those leaves and thorns but the leaves strike back at her. The cuts are small but if accumulated it will be fatal. Li Zian channels her spiritual energy into swords and with a slash all the leaves and thorns attacking her disappear.

Li Zian did not waste time; she dashes forward and appears in front of Hui and swings her sword. Hui is ready and he jumps backward. Li Zian's sword slashes horizontally and the sword energy creates a sharp wind cutting Hui's front shirt. Li Zian dash once again and keep trying to shorten their distance. Hui knows what Li Zian is trying to do. Her sword is not long enough to reach him but he is able to throw his leaves and let his plants attack her freely.

Li Zian struggles to fight with Hui. She keeps dashing forwards Hui, she intends to pressure him. At one point, Li Zian sees a chance and wants to move forward but she notices a thin thread at the level of her neck. She positions her sword in front of her vertically since she is unable to swing it on time to cut it. The thread is thin but sturdy. When it collides with the sword it creates a "Ting!" sound.

Li Zian slides her legs to lower her body and avoid the thread. Before she stabilizes herself, Hui's leaves coming at her from the front, and at her left, a long thin thread nearly cut her ear. She turns to the left and slashes her sword. The sword energy cut the thread and travel into the dark night. A scream can be heard, a young man holding his shoulder jump out and stands beside Hui.

"Master, I am sorry." Lee Guang's head is facing downwards. Hui holds the injured shoulder and in a blink, the wound is closed and Lee Guang's eyes twinkle with fanatic gleam. With a tacit understanding, both start to attack Li Zian. Seeing the addition of the enemy, Li Zian feels it is time to end. All of them are here.

"Min Zhe!" Ling Min Zhe that is fighting with Zi You already bathing in blood, "With my authority, I allow you to unseal your power to eliminate the enemy!" Li Zian's hairs and pupils turn into black purple. The changes happen during the fight and she is trying hard to evade the attacks. She has been scalded by acids and cuts from the thorns, leaves, and thread. Her cloth is tattered like a beggar and blood is trickling down. Zi You that is fighting with Ling Min Zhe sense danger. She quickly distances herself and regroups with Hui and Lee Guang.

"Yes! Finally!" Ling Min Zhe smiles wide. He stands beside Li Zian. There is a sound of something broken, "Crack!" and Ling Min Zhe's spiritual energy rushes up. All his injuries are healed. Hui, Zi You, and Lee Guang can feel the increase of Ling Min Zhe's spiritual energy. Decisively, Hui did not wait long and lead Zi You and Lee Guang to attack Ling Min Zhe. This time, Ling Min Zhe waves his sleeve, and all attacks that are being thrown at him are rendered useless.

Zi You stops her attack and block the surge of spiritual energy that coming towards her. Despite that, she is pushed to the back and falls down to her knee. Lee Guang's thread is cut into pieces and unconscious due to the impact of Ling Min Zhe's spiritual energy. Hui is still standing but all his plants turn into plant corpses. By using his plants, he was able to lessen the impact of the Ling Min Zhe counterattack.

Ling Min Zhe with his sword appears in front of Hui and stabs his heart. Hui bends his neck slowly and sees the sword already pierce his heart but there is no blood and he did not feel any pain, "Crick...crack...crick." Hui can hear those sounds coming from his heart, "No!" Hui's eyes bulged and he is trembling, "You! Wretched... blegh!" He vomits blood.

Ling Min Zhe targets Hui's five mother seeds and ten child seeds in his heart. Li Zian takes out a small cage and Hui is absorbed into the cage. The same thing happened to Lee Guang but he is still unconscious. Zi You did not move since receiving the attack from Ling Min Zhe.

Ling Min Zhe and Li Zian approach Zi You, "This old man is very tenacious. After all the fighting his body is still strong. He probably able to live for another ten years." Ling Min Zhe joked and smile a bit. Li Zian sigh relief seeing the old man is free from the possession of the mother seed, "Let's go, we need to find the third person." Ling Min Zhe nodded and they leave that place. Zhong lifted the barrier and after that, you can hear the voices of people on the streets.
