Chapter Twenty-Three: Another Battle Against the Heavenly Demon Mother
Han Wei finally saw Su Rumei as she had wished.
In a dilapidated temple a hundred miles away, many wild grasses swayed gently. Wild grasses also grew in the cracks of the temple walls, and by resonating with the plants, one could see Su Rumei making love with a man.
Su Rumei tilted her head back, seemingly lost in desire. The man on top of her was also completely succumbing, oblivious to the fact that his life essence was being drained from him...
Han Wei glanced at it, then looked away. Multicolored light shimmered around her as she put on her multicolored celestial robe. She then fastened her invisibility cloak and sped off in the direction of Su Rumei.
————
Inside the dilapidated temple, the woman who had been pinned down by the man was now on top of him, pinning the burly man beneath her. The man's face grew increasingly pale, and his body was slowly withering away.
Su Rumei was frantically draining the man beneath her of his essence. Unexpectedly, although this guy was only so-so in appearance, he was quite good in bed. Otherwise, she wouldn't have waited until now to make her move.
Just as Su Rumei was about to drain his last bit of life force, the Heavenly Enchantress within her sensed the danger and seized control of her body without warning. Su Rumei cried out in alarm as her body was already flying uncontrollably to the side.
A figure suddenly appeared in the void—a stunningly beautiful young woman in a colorful dress, holding a jet-black dagger. Although the Heavenly Demon Mother reacted quickly, the dagger still grazed her arm, and a sharp pain immediately spread from the wound.
The Heavenly Demon Mother, naked, flashed onto the altar. Her long, black hair cascaded down her back and chest. Of her fair skin, only her left arm was completely bluish-black. She immediately gathered her magic power to suppress the poison.
Han Wei initially intended to stab her head with the dagger, but she didn't expect the Heavenly Enchantress to react so quickly.
Han Wei saw the Heavenly Enchantress Mother jump onto the altar of the dilapidated temple. She made a hand seal with her left hand, and immediately dozens of bluish-black vines appeared on the ground. These vines, covered with many sharp thorns, all wrapped around the Heavenly Enchantress Mother.
The vines moved very fast, reaching the Heavenly Enchantress Mother in no time. The Heavenly Enchantress Mother then jumped onto the windowsill, and the vines chased after her. She did a backflip and jumped out of the dilapidated temple into the courtyard outside.
Han Wei immediately chased after her.
Pink mist emanated from the Heavenly Enchantress, enveloping her pure white body. When the mist dissipated, she was now wearing a black gauze robe.
"You brat, it's you again!" Heavenly Enchantress Mother gritted her teeth and said.
She suffered several losses at Han Wei's hands, which greatly angered the proud and arrogant Han Wei.
Han Wei toyed with the black dagger in her hand, looked at the Heavenly Enchantress, and said with a smile, "You reacted really quickly. You don't happen to have some kind of magical artifact that can foresee danger, do you?"
Looking at Han Wei's stunningly beautiful face, the Heavenly Enchantress's anger subsided. She chuckled sweetly, "So eager to know my secret? What? Do you perhaps like me?"
Her voice carried a hint of seduction.
Inside the dilapidated temple, two young and beautiful women were facing off. The young woman on the left was dressed in a black gauze dress, surrounded by wisps of dreamlike pink mist; the girl on the right wore a colorful dress, held a dagger, and had many green vines floating in mid-air behind her, swaying gently.
Han Wei looked at the Heavenly Enchantress and snorted, "If you don't talk, we'll just search your soul once we catch you."
As Han Wei finished speaking, all the vines behind her attacked the Heavenly Demon Mother. The Heavenly Demon Mother giggled and flew into the sky, followed by wisps of pink mist.
"Arrest me? You want to imprison me?"
With a swift strike of her left hand, a crimson gust of wind shattered the attacking vines into dust. Han Wei's dagger had transformed into a silver moon bow, and she pursued the Heavenly Demon Mother. As she chased, Han Wei aimed her silver moon bow at the Heavenly Demon Mother and drew back the bowstring.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Silver arrows shot towards the Heavenly Demon Mother, who then wielded a red longsword. With these swords, she slashed repeatedly, deflecting the incoming arrows.
The Heavenly Enchantress appeared relaxed, but in reality, she was anything but. Suppressing the poison required a great deal of her magical power. Under these circumstances, how could she possibly fight against a formidable enemy like Han Wei?
Song Xuan is probably already dead. Even if he were alive, the Heavenly Saintess would think that such an incompetent waste could only be used as a shield at best.
As Han Wei and the Heavenly Enchantress fought, they ended up in the forest outside the dilapidated temple. The forest had a great geographical advantage for Han Wei, who was cultivating the "Myriad Manifestations of the Forest Technique".
The Heavenly Demon Mother was in the forest, cold sweat beading on her forehead. The entire forest seemed to have come alive, all the plants and trees had turned into man-eating monsters, with sharp-edged weeds, vines with sharp barbs, and tree branches and roots like pythons all attacking her.
Bang bang bang—
The pink mist emanating from the Heavenly Demon Mother transformed into countless ghostly claws, tearing apart wild grass, vines, branches, and roots. Then, all the surrounding trees began to move strangely, and human faces appeared atop these ancient trees, staring at the Heavenly Demon Mother and emitting eerie laughter.
Hehehehe~
The eerie laughter was interspersed with the ethereal sound of the magic bell.
Double the sonic attack.
Sonic allure was originally a specialty of the Heavenly Enchantress, but she was now merely a remnant soul, and with Su Rumei already poisoned, the double sonic attack left her feeling throbbing in her head and waves of discomfort. Fortunately, the jade pendant she wore on her chest could withstand attacks like soul-based sonic attacks.
The magical jade pendant on the chest of the Heavenly Demon Mother was glowing, protecting her from sound attacks. However, countless flowers and leaves were flying in from every corner of the forest, instantly becoming a torrent. Upon seeing this, the Heavenly Demon Mother immediately activated her protective shield.
Countless petals and leaves bombarded the red light shield. The attack was relentless, and the Heavenly Enchantress Mother could only continuously expend her magic power to maintain the shield.
Suddenly, a flower of flame bloomed at her feet. The flame, shaped like a lotus, ignited the lower half of the Heavenly Demon Mother's body. The Heavenly Demon Mother screamed in agony, her eyes flashing with blood-red light. She immediately used her teleportation ability to disappear from her original spot and reappear a hundred miles away.
If this place were not a forest, the Heavenly Demon Mother might have escaped. But even though Han Wei cannot chase after her immediately, she is still within Han Wei's consciousness. The vegetation allows Han Wei's consciousness to cover these mountains, stretching for thousands of miles.
The Heavenly Demon Mother teleported to a cliff, where she was attacked by the vegetation. Her teleportation ability cannot be used continuously, which is a significant limitation.
Han Wei wore a five-colored celestial robe. Although this robe was a defensive spiritual treasure, it also enhanced her speed. As her cultivation level increased, her short burst speed while wearing this five-colored celestial robe was now comparable to that of a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
