Chapter 120: Discovered
The reason why Tang Yin could see this so clearly was because the woman stopped above the mountain, she was observing the desolate mountain with a frown on her face.
Under the grim gaze of Tang Yin, she descended onto the mountain. She landed near Tang Yin, this caused him to grumble internally about his terrible luck.
The beautiful woman retracted her wings, she then slowly scanned her surroundings with an aloof gaze. Tang Yin’s heart trembled as the woman’s gaze passed by the rock he had transformed into.
The woman frowned harder, she could not find anything. Tang Yin did not relax upon seeing this, nothing was certain yet.
The beautiful woman lifted her hands and made seals, runic symbols formed in the air. When the runic symbols reached nearly a hundred, the woman swung her arms. The various runic symbols spread out all over the barren mountain before seeping into it.
The woman then closed her eyes while maintaining a seal with her index and middle fingers. Tang Yin’s heart trembled once more, he could tell the woman was using a special technique which could break his cover.
Normally a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator would not be able to unveil his Heaven Deceiving Art with only their eyes. They would only be able to do so with a special technique like the woman was using now.
The beautiful woman’s goal was to find some clues about what had happened to the mountain to make it look so desolate and devoid of life like the previous few mountains Tang Yin had destroyed, she was using a special technique to find some clues about it.
After a moment, the woman’s expression changed. She whipped her head around to look at the small rock Tang Yin had transformed into. Tang Yin cursed once more in his head before turning into a black bolt of lightning and escaping.
"Demonic Cultivator, you won’t escape." The woman flatly declared, pink wings manifested on her back once again. She leapt into the sky and turned into a pink arc to pursue Tang Yin. Her speed was many times faster than Tang Yins’.
"Demonic Cultivator? I’m just a wandering cultivator, how can a dignified Qi Transformation Realm cultivator as yourself bully the weak?" Tang Yin shamelessly questioned the woman’s morals.
A Demonic Cultivator was a cultivator who used unorthodox methods to increase their cultivation and practised evil arts. Similarly, there were also Righteous Cultivators who used orthodox cultivation methods and practices. The woman was the latter type.
"I don’t believe you are not somehow linked to the destruction of the various families and sects which took place recently. If you are truly innocent, I will spare your life." The woman retorted calmly with an aloof voice, she moved even faster.
When the woman was almost above Tang Yin, she stretched out her hand in a gripping motion towards him. Tang Yin’s eyes were cold and calm, he had faced life-and-death situations before.
He knew he was no match for the woman. Therefore, he coughed up a mouthful of blood essence which was reabsorbed into his body, then he fuelled the Lightning Movement using the reabsorbed blood essence. His figure turned into a black blur and dashed forward, narrowly escaping the woman’s grip.
A surprised expression surfaced on the beautiful woman’s face, she did not expect a measly 4th stage Spirit Vein Condensation Realm cultivator to escape from her grasp.
The woman’s eyes turned colder, a golden-plated sword appeared in her hand. She softly muttered, "Lotus Seal" and swung the sword towards Tang Yin.
A pinkish-white lotus took form above Tang Yin before rapidly descending, its speed was so fast that Tang Yin only had time to activate the Abyssal Sword and use it to defend.
When the descending pink lotus descended from the air, it contacted the Abyssal Sword. The Abyssal Sword swiftly devoured a bit of the lotus before shattering.
The amount of Qi contained inside the lotus was too much for the Abyssal Sword, it could not Devour it all. The Abyssal Sword shattered for the first time ever because it could not withstand the power of the lotus.
Tang Yin was not surprised, the power of a Qi Transformation Realm cultivator was unfathomable. He did not expect the Abyssal Sword to Devour the lotus.
Tang Yin gritted his teeth and firm determination appeared in his eyes.
The lotus descended onto him completely. Dark light shone through the lotus in the next moment, the lotus then exploded from the inside.
The woman froze in mid-air, anything which could break her Lotus Seal could pose a certain amount of danger.
When the dark light dissipated, Tang Yin reappeared in the centre where the lotus had exploded from.
Half of his body was nowhere to be seen, he had lost his left arm, left leg and some of the left side of his torso. His right leg was a bloody mess, it was only hanging on by a thread, his right arm however was unharmed. Blood covered his robes and right arm, it even blended in with his hair.
In his unharmed right hand was a stone, it had faint markings engraved on it.
The beautiful woman stared intently at the stone engraved with complex runic symbols, she could not make out what it was.
Tang Yin furiously made a last-ditch effort to inject his Abyss Qi into the stone, he was going to make a gamble.
The stone in his hand shone with a faint light, and the beautiful woman’s expression changed drastically.
"Stop!" The woman screamed shrilly, she charged at Tang Yin with the fastest speed she could muster on such short notice.
A gentle white light enveloped Tang Yin. "I will remember you..." Tang Yin uttered his last words before his eyes rolled back and he fainted from the grievous wounds he had sustained. The stone in his hand shattered and turned into dust before scattering away.
The woman instantly arrived 5 meters away from Tang Yin, she reached out her hand to grab him as quickly as she could, but she was too slow. The white light enveloping Tang Yin flickered before he disappeared. He was gone!
The beautiful woman’s eyes flashed with thick killing intent, she stood at the spot where Tang Yin left and muttered under her breath, "Teleportation..."
After a while, the woman left.
