Chapter Thirteen: Han Wei Severely Injures the Heavenly Demon Saint Mother
The Heavenly Demon Mother's magic only faltered for a moment, but the sharp-eyed Han Wei wouldn't miss any opening and immediately fired another arrow. This time, the arrow wasn't a wide-range attack; all the power was concentrated on a single point, making the arrow more than twice as fast as before.
The Heavenly Enchantress's expression changed drastically. She opened her mouth and spat out three red beads.
The three beads emitted a blood-red light, forming a triangular light shield that blocked Han Wei's arrow.
Bang!
Han Wei's arrows disappeared, and so did the light shield.
However, even the Heavenly Enchantress was forced into the dense forest by Han Wei. Han Wei's eyes flashed with emerald light, and the demonic vines in the entire dense forest began to twist wildly. The trees also shook violently, and then all the demonic vines and branches swept towards the Heavenly Enchantress.
The Heavenly Demon Mother dodged with her strange movements. While Han Wei manipulated the demonic vines and trees to attack her, she wondered in her heart: Who exactly is this person?
Judging from her words, she seemed to be an ancient cultivator from the Yunlan Realm who had left the Yunlan Realm and perished for some reason. Now, only her remnant soul remained, possessing Su Rumei's body.
Han Wei had always thought Xie Yun valued Su Rumei highly, but now she realized she was mistaken. It was probably because of the Heavenly Enchantress within Su Rumei that Xie Yun treated her differently.
Han Wei's guess was correct.
Xie Yun's interest in Su Rumei was indeed due to the Heavenly Demon Saintess. However, their relationship was one of mutual exploitation. Xie Yun wanted the Heavenly Demon Saintess's methods for advancing to the Nascent Soul, Void Refinement, and Body Integration stages, her past cultivation techniques, and her insightful perspectives, experience, and talent. In return, the Heavenly Demon Saintess wanted to use Xie Yun to restore her former cultivation level.
The Heavenly Demon Mother had long seen that Han Wei possessed a Wood Spirit Body, and she had always wanted to possess Han Wei's body. However, Xie Yun feared that once she had a physical body, she would be difficult to control, so he refused, only agreeing to take Han Wei's blood for Su Rumei's use.
The Heavenly Demon Mother spends most of her time asleep; otherwise, three years ago, Han Wei wouldn't have been able to cause such chaos in the Qingyun Sect, and she would have seen through her disguise long ago. The Heavenly Demon Mother didn't tell Xie Yun that Han Wei possessed a Wood Spirit Body, fearing that if Xie Yun knew, he would be even less likely to allow her to possess Han Wei.
Now, upon seeing Han Wei again in the secret realm, she was initially overjoyed, but after exchanging blows, she discovered that Han Wei was even more difficult to deal with than she had imagined.
The demonic vines, like venomous snakes, lunged at the Heavenly Demon Mother, who constantly dodged them with her superb agility.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh—
Arrows kept coming.
As the Heavenly Demon Mother rapidly formed hand seals, the three blood-red beads once again formed a shield, protecting her.
With a clang.
As the sonic waves of the Mystic Bell struck, the Heavenly Demon Mother, enduring excruciating pain, dodged the incoming arrows once more. Her entire body then erupted with a crimson glow, shattering all the demonic vines and sweeping branches that rushed towards her.
A flash of cold light, and Han Wei, wielding a longsword, appeared behind the Heavenly Demon Mother, thrusting her sword at her. The Heavenly Demon Mother dodged the attack and created distance between herself and Han Wei. She looked at the sword in Han Wei's hand and said:
"This is Fang Jingbai's sword. Did you kill him?"
Han Wei said coldly, "That's right."
As Han Wei spoke, the Autumn Water Sword in her hand unleashed a flurry of sword shadows. Seeing this, the Heavenly Enchantress Mother also grabbed a longsword from the air. The two began to spar, the clanging of blades like raindrops pattering on banana leaves.
The surging sword energy carved marks of varying depths on the ground, cutting through the surrounding rocks and causing vegetation to fall continuously.
Bang!
The Heavenly Enchantress was kicked by Han Wei, which broke a large tree.
She coughed up blood, feeling that Han Wei's body was as strong as a monster; a single kick from her had injured her internal organs.
The Wood Spirit Body is so terrifying.
The Heavenly Demon Mother was arrogant because she had once been a Nascent Soul cultivator. Even though she was now just a remnant soul controlling the body of a Qi Refining stage descendant, she could still defeat an eighteen-year-old girl with her experience, secret techniques, and exquisite sword skills.
To his surprise, after exchanging thirty blows with Han Wei, he found that he hadn't gained any advantage whatsoever.
What's wrong with this blonde girl?
What kind of cultivation technique does she practice? And why does it feel like she has more combat experience than I do?
Ultimately, the Heavenly Enchantress, no match for Han Wei, was severely injured and used a secret technique to escape.
Ring ring~
The melodious bell hovered in the air, continuously emitting ethereal sounds. The vegetation in the dense forest was lush and verdant, and even without wind, the blades of grass rippled like waves. Han Wei stood in the sky, her eyes flashing with green light. She pushed the "Myriad Manifestations Technique" to its limit, yet she could not find any trace of the Heavenly Demon Mother.
"Damn it! She got away!"
A cold glint flashed in Han Wei's eyes. She thought to herself: That guy must be seriously injured right now. Even if he can escape for a while, he can't escape forever. I have to find him and kill him.
In Han Wei's eyes, the Holy Mother of Enchantress was clearly a hundred times more dangerous than Su Rumei. Since they had formed a grudge, she had to make sure that Su Rumei's soul was scattered.
With a thought, Han Wei vanished from the spot.
————
In a cave somewhere, a girl dressed in green leaned against the wall and coughed up another mouthful of blood.
"Ancestor, Ancestor, how are you?"
Su Rumei's anxious voice echoed in the mind of the Heavenly Enchantress. Su Rumei dared to come to this secret realm because her greatest reliance was the Heavenly Enchantress within her. In her opinion, no one in this secret realm could be a match for the Ancestor. Who would have thought that Han Wei would appear, and even the Ancestor was no match for her?
Even the ancestor has been defeated, what should I do?
Who will protect her?
Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through her entire body, and Su Rumei collapsed to the ground. It turned out that the Heavenly Demon Mother had returned control of her body to her, instantly transferring the pain from her recent battle with Han Wei to Su Rumei as well. Su Rumei endured the pain, took out some pills from her storage bag, and swallowed them. She groaned in agony for a long time before finally recovering.
Su Rumei had drunk Han Wei's blood for several years, and this blood was highly nourishing, so her injuries healed faster than those of ordinary cultivators.
After recovering, her face still pale, she called out again, "Ancestor? Ancestor?"
"What are you yelling for? I'm not dead yet."
Hearing the reprimand, Su Rumei said timidly, "Grandmother, I was just worried about you."
"That bitch Han Wei is definitely looking for you everywhere right now. If she finds you, you're dead for sure."
Upon hearing this, Su Rumei asked in a panic, "Then what should we do?"
Heavenly Demon Mother said:
"I used up all the magical power I had painstakingly accumulated to save you. The only way for us to survive is for you to cultivate the second level of the 'Charming Maiden Technique'."
"The second level of the 'Charming Maiden Technique'..."
Su Rumei hesitated.
She knew this technique was powerful, but because the second level of the "Charming Maiden Technique" required sexual intercourse with a man, using him as a vessel, Su Rumei had always refused to practice the second level.
