Chapter 1908: Chapter 1907: Guardian Spirit
Li Feng and Cang Ming transformed into two fleeting shadows, clashing time and again; in the blink of an eye, countless moves had been exchanged.
"Hmph, a dual-element Thunder and Fire cultivator, you truly surprise me a bit."
After another collision, the pair drew apart slightly. Cang Ming looked across at Li Feng, his mouth curling into a cold smile.
"But if that’s all you are, then you are destined to be trampled under my feet."
"You sure talk a lot."
Lightning flickered beneath Li Feng’s feet, and in the next second, he punched with thunderous force, bearing the power of ten thousand pounds towards Cang Ming. Cang Ming sneered repeatedly, his Wind God Body allowing him to move like a leaf in the wind, effortlessly dodging Li Feng’s fist, followed by a fierce Tear Claw in retaliation.
Li Feng didn’t directly block it; in the instant Cang Ming moved, he had already predicted the attack and evaded it in advance with a Thunder Escape flash. Meanwhile, Cang Ming chased with a sinister smile, his form turning to wind.
The two continued their chase and dodge, exchanging countless moves in an instant.
While Li Feng and Cang Ming battled fiercely, elsewhere, a Parasol Wood box was kicked towards Helena. As Helena was about to collect the box, Sikong Yu’s Red Tassel Spear pierced the air towards her.
Helena sensed the impending threat and dodged gracefully.
"Hmph, do you think you can take it without asking me?"
Sikong Yu withdrew her spear, resting it at her back, its tip pointed at the ground, looking over at Helena who had closed her eyes tightly.
"Naga Clan Holy Daughter, Sealing Eyes, adept at sealing techniques. But after using Sealing Eyes twice consecutively, you must be unable to use them a third time, right?"
Helena smiled faintly upon hearing Sikong Yu’s disdainful remark.
"Who told you that my Naga Tribe only knew sealing techniques?" Helena retorted, swiftly grabbing the amber-like necklace on her neck, clasping the necklace in her hands, and rapidly forming seals.
Sikong Yu realized the threat, and immediately tapped her toes on the ground, a wave of fire spreading out, before lunging towards Helena.
But she was a moment too late.
The amber on Helena’s necklace pendant suddenly gleamed brightly, forcing Sikong Yu to close her eyes against the blinding light, her form retreating.
As the light dissipated, a giant python coiled around Helena, its massive head hissing.
Sikong Yu’s eyes quickly adjusted to the surrounding light, once again focusing on the python coiling around Helena.
"Summoning Technique."
Helena responded to Sikong Yu’s shock, squinting her eyes as she spoke: "I’m a Holy Daughter Priestess of the Naga Clan, blessed with a Guardian Spirit."
"The Naga Tribe’s Guardian Spirit Priestess, dammit, this is bad news for Rain." Ouyang Qiuhai bit her teeth.
"Guardian Spirit? How powerful is it?"
Ran Yue asked inadvertently.
"How powerful, you ask?"
Ouyang Qiuhai rolled her eyes: "Remove the ’how’ and ’is’—a Guardian Spirit is akin to a totem soul. In Demon Clan tribes, totems are like our belief in gods and buddhas."
"I’ve heard of totems, they are said to be invaluable." Lei Ba chimed in. The Underground Palace City is not just a Duel Arena but a massive black market where anything can be traded, and Lei Ba, being of Golden Core status, had some freedom to move around. He had heard people talk about totems by chance.
"Yes, they are invaluable, and even more rare. Even though I’m not sure where you heard this, you must know about Spiritual Weapons."
Ouyang Qiuhai glanced at the clueless people around her, ready to impart some knowledge.
"Yes, we know, they are divided into four ranks: Heaven, Earth, Mystical, and Yellow, and further categorized into upper, middle, and lower grades. Even a Yellow Rank Spiritual Weapon is valuable."
A good weapon is considered a second life, but the price of Spiritual Weapons is steep, even the lowest rank can fetch a good sum.
Moreover, the price of Spiritual Weapons increases several times for each grade, with Mystical Weapons being ten times more valuable; though they are attainable with money, Earth Rank Spiritual Weapons are not available in the market, not circulated externally.
They are objects that major families vie for, and as for Heaven Rank Spiritual Weapons, they are exceedingly rare, with even the Eight Royal Families possessing only a few, all legendary.
"Yes, that’s right, Earth Rank Spiritual Weapons have different tiers, and this tier is defined by the presence of an Artifact Spirit. Without one, it remains a Spiritual Weapon, but with one, it is called a Holy Weapon, no longer just a mere weapon."
"The Demon Clan’s totem is akin to our Holy Weapon, except we call it Artifact Soul, and the Demon Clan calls it Guardian Spirit. The Guardian Spirit must have been a Great Demon in life, or it wouldn’t have preserved its Spiritual Body."
"The Demon Clan nurtures Guardian Spirits through totem tributes, and the stronger the tribe, the stronger the Guardian Spirit."
"Among the Demon Clan, there exists a Secret Technique known as Summoning, which uses summoning magic to bring forth a Guardian Spirit’s clone. Though a clone, it possesses significant strength."
"Originally, Rain should have no problem defeating the Demon Clan, but with the protection of a Guardian Spirit, Rain might not have the advantage, especially now that the box has been taken."
Ouyang Qiuhai observed the situation on the field, despite their side taking down the strongest opponent fighting Bi Fang, and another being defeated, the remaining four still couldn’t be underestimated.
Their side was completely unmatched in combat strength, and joining the fray would be a hindrance. Fortunately, there was the chaos caused by the Earth Cave Demon Ape, otherwise the situation would be unwatchable.
Sikong Yu took a deep breath, activating her bloodline, unfurling the Vermilion Bird Wings, her body engulfed in fire transforming into flame Scale Armor, exuding an impressive heroic spirit as she sneered: "It’s just a clone, trying to scare me?"
Sikong Yu swung her spear, the Vermilion Bird Fire igniting the spear, bursting forward to engage.
Gun Qi on the spear was as a rainbow, thrusting directly towards the coiling Guardian Spirit Python around Helena.
Helena’s eyes couldn’t be opened, but she noticed Sikong Yu charging and coldly sneered, "Vermilion Bird Bloodline, daughter of the Sikong family, no wonder."
But in the next moment, Helena sneered with disdain.
"But so what? Even if my Guardian Spirit is just a clone, it’s not something you can easily defeat."
This Guardian Spirit is at least Golden Core Late Stage in strength, unless the opponent is at Golden Core Perfection, breaking through her Guardian Spirit is impossible.
"Besides,..."
Helena left her sentence unfinished, as Sikong Yu’s spear pierced the Guardian Spirit, but the spear was stuck, with the giant Python Guardian Spirit towering over Sikong Yu, its massive mouth opening wide and swallowing Sikong Yu whole.
Sikong Yu couldn’t evade, and was swallowed completely by the giant python.
"Rain!"
Ouyang Qiuhai stared, eyes wide in shock at the scene, calling out instinctively.
Helena sneered coldly, turned around to pick up the fallen Parasol Wood box, though it happened in just a blink.
"No, I need to save Rain."
