The sword energy slashed at the dagger. If it fails, then the target of the attack will be inevitably seriously injured even with the delay of the sword energy. But if it succeeds, then the attack will be resolved by Zemirah in one move.
However, neither happened. The dagger was attacked and most of the energy force disintegrated in the face of the star energy, but a small amount of attack escaped and went straight to the man who regained his attention from hesitation.
A small broken part of the dagger sank into his stomach, making the man vomit in blood from the remaining power.
Zemirah had no time to pay attention to the calligraphy man as she saw that the enemy was almost escaping from the grasp of the Bloodlust Flower Trap Talisman. The one she used is just a Grade 1 talisman since the enemy is at the Energy Refining Realm.
The demonic cultivator saw his dagger broken by her sword slash, making him angry for losing his precious weapon artifact. One must know that the artifact was only forged with a hundred resentful souls.
"B*tch, you dare to destroy my weapon!" His distorted face was so ferocious that it almost made Zemirah scared.
The demonic cultivator used another dagger he had to cut the red tentacles of the Bloodlust Flower that was trapping him. As he was about to escape from the trap, the woman who saved his target rushed towards him.
Her thin sword was shining once again, he could intuitively feel the danger of the sword, making him feel a little fear.
There are few kinds of power that directly restrains evil energy such as thunder, fire, and light. Coincidentally, star power is a variant of light with its own special traits.
The demonic cultivator was not a soft persimmon either, he quickly became determined when he saw that he can't dodge this attack.
The dagger in his hand was less evil compared to the previous one, making his strength less but it was still fatal if used right.
A dagger with ghostly evil aura and a thin sword like a star butterfly from heaven collided, making a clanging sound that hurt both parties involved, even the people around them was affected.
"Whose that woman? She can actually confront Skull Dagger Demon?"
"Hehe, that d*mned guy encountered a tough bone."
The other demonic cultivators were either surprised or gloating, no one had the intention to help their fellow. This is the nature of demonic cultivators, greedy and selfish.
Zemirah didn't care about the words around her as her full attention was placed on her ongoing battle. This is the first time she encountered a person who can fight her without backing down. This thought made her solemn, her sword attacks becoming more ruthless as she attack on the body parts that can take life with one shot.
The demonic cultivator she is fighting, Skull Dagger Demon, also felt his heart sink after the confrontation. No one knows that his cultivation technique either kills people within a short time or he'll lose his life as time goes by.
Now, this woman can't be killed in a short time, making him feel a sense of crisis.
The cultivation of the demonic cultivator at the Peak-Stage of the Energy Refining Realm surge, he wanted to solve this crisis in front of him in a short time.
The energy in his Dantian gathered at his will as he performed the secret technique of their organization. [Blood Secret Sacrifice], using his own blood or his enemy's blood to pay for the strength blessing that he'll get from that unknown existence.
Staring at the veiled lady attacking him with her butterfly-like sword, he was greedy for her blood. He can already feel that the blood of this person must be able to satisfy their leader.
With this motivation, the secret technique he was performing accelerated and Zemirah felt the impending danger.
"What's that?" She murmured in her heart as she saw the blood mist around them gather at the enemy. Not only the blood on the ground but also the blood of the man was sucked into the blood light in his hand.
Zemirah's danger intuition almost rang like crazy, making her hair stand on end. The creepy feeling of being stared at by something disgusting displeased Zemirah so much that she finally remembered to use the higher-grade talisman she had on hand.
The current situation was already in a state of life and death where everyone had to take their life-saving items to get the chance to live.
Holding a talisman made from precious talisman paper and ink, Zemirah activated it without a hitch.
Golden light bloomed, turning into a holy golden spear that was pointing at her opponent. The demonic cultivator didn't expect that the prey in hand suddenly made such a comeback that made him unable to escape.
"AHH!"
The painful roar of the Skull Dagger Demon sounded as the holy golden spear pierced his body, slowly burning the evil into ashes that even the blood mist he hardly gathered dissipated with the light.
The demonic cultivator watched his body turn into ashes because of the golden spear full of holiness from the talisman that the lady activated.
"I don't accept it!"
With the last unwilling roar, the difficult enemy died from her talisman.
She watched as another life fell from her hands, as if killing was not a taboo for her a few months ago. Zemirah just felt that human being's adaptability is amazing.
The scene was not unnoticed by other cultivators around her, be it the demonic cultivators or spiritual cultivators.
Simon, together with his Iron Armor Beast pet, tackled a demonic cultivator who wanted to take advantage of Zemirah in the middle of her battle.
Although he knew that the veiled lady had her own means, he was still shocked at the hand she showed that tilted the battle on her side.
A Grade 2 offensive talisman, and its quality is obviously not low.
Simon sighed in his heart, this woman must have a deep background to easily throw a Grade 2 talisman on her opponent. Simon is a student of Divine Art Academy, yet his limited talent only lets him barely see the chance to reach Foundation Building Realm with the resources of the academy.
Of course, these resources needed him to work hard and earn credits to have, nothing is free in the world of cultivation.
But his background is already superior to the majority of cultivators, yet he doesn't have the background of having a grade 2 talisman to be thrown at will. He only has one early-stage Grade 2 defensive talisman to save his life at a critical moment.
Offensive talismans are expensive since they can kill an enemy when used at the right moment.
Simon was quite envious but not jealous, his focus was still on the enemies on the field.
On the other hand, a person near him had his heart surge with jealousy and greed after seeing the precious artifacts and high-grade talisman used by a veiled woman whose identity is a mystery.
This mystery helped the man to curve his greed and jealousy, but it never dissipated, just buried in his heart. He held the brush artifact in his hand tightly, his fingertips turning pale at his action.
Zemirah has no idea what the mental activities of the people around her are, instead, her eyes never leave the dead body of the demonic cultivator killed by her talisman.
Seeing that this demonic cultivator was deader than dead, she finally went closer to check her loot. A cultivator at the Peak-Stage of Energy Refinement Realm still has some properties on his body that can be exchanged for spiritual stones that Zemirah needed.
It's just right since she's quite running out of them.
Taking the storage bag from the demonic cultivator, the dagger artifact, the robe artifact, and a ring artifact that reached the Uncommon-Quality Peak-Stage of Grade 1 all entered Zemirah's little treasury.
She did not care that these items were bloody and full of demonic energy, she was busy thinking of the methods Roch taught her when killing and looting.
After murder, never forget to clean up. Burn the body and scatter the ashes.
Zemirah used a fireball talisman that swallowed the body of a demonic cultivator at the Peak-Stage of Energy Refinement Realm to ashes.
After that, she went to look for another opponent without looking back at the ashes on the ground that were slowly blown by the wind into the endless land and sea.
Seeing the chaotic situation of the other cultivators who were just passengers like her a few hours ago, she didn't hesitate to go to the cultivators that were struggling to save their lives against the fierce attack of demonic cultivators.
A teenage girl, who seems to be just a few years younger than her was fighting against three demonic cultivators with similar cultivation, was about to be hacked to break down against the siege when a light blink from the corner of her eyes, like the star shining at the starry sky.
A woman wearing a white veil and pink robe embroidered with butterflies appeared in her vision. Without saying any nonsense, she disappeared and appeared behind one of the demonic cultivators attacking her.
The thin sword in her hand, like a phantom butterfly, slashed through the flesh and bones on the back of a demonic cultivator whose body was covered with a black robe.
The black robe is a defensive artifact, yet it has no resistance against the thick sword from the veiled lady.
The teenage girl, whose name is Sucere, saw everything that happened. Her intuition immediately reminded her that this was a good opportunity to reverse her situation.
With one of the demonic cultivators ambushed and now entangled by the lady, she was now able to free her hand and start a tougher offensive.
As if avenging her previous grievance of being besieged by despicable enemies, she didn't hesitate to use her most powerful skill, [Red Heart Stab].
Every stab to her enemy feels like a blow in the heart, a torture that gives both pain and dying breath to her opponent.
"AH!" The first demonic cultivator that experienced her stab immediately shouted in shock at the sudden heart-piercing pain after the black inconspicuous dagger stabbed him in the shoulder.
A red mark appeared on the stabbed part of his shoulder, like a red heart painted with fresh blood of the victim.
Zemirah also saw the peculiar mark, a flicker of interest in her eyes before she focused on the enemy at hand.
The person she chose to attack is the most difficult one among the three demonic cultivators, with the intention of taking away the biggest burden on the young woman who was on the verge of collapse under the besiegement of the three demonic cultivators.
Zemirah thought so at first, but after seeing the methods and techniques of the woman in red with her hair tied with a red ribbon, she doubted her judgment.
This young lady seems to be more capable than she thought.
The kind of person whose depth was hidden deeply in their facade.
Just one look at the inconspicuous black dagger that look worse than a kitchen knife, it actually dug into the enemy's flesh and bones without a pause. Like a hot knife on a butter, so smooth that made Zemirah's eyes shine.
"A member of Seven Pain Sect!"
"D*mn it! Kill her quickly!"
"Those guys are lunatics!"
The horrified and angry words of the demonic cultivators were overwhelmed by a peal of crazy wanton laughter from the girl in a red robe embroidered with black broken hearts.
"HAHAHA~"
