I Have a Compass for Opportunity
Chapter 120 - 88: The Legend of Chi Li (Part 3)
Zhao Feiyue’s graceful figure danced elegantly.
With thunder in her hand, the violent power of thunder spewed from her palm, tracing a bright trajectory in the dark night.
It blasted onto the body of the Toad Star Evil, causing the pustules on its body to explode, splattering blossoms of green blood.
The green liquid splashed onto the ground, instantly corroding gaps in the stones and soil, accompanied by a pungent, acrid smell.
The strength of the Toad Star Evil was not weak; it withstood Zhao Feiyue’s magic attacks, repeatedly launching assaults that would create depressions in the ground each time it landed.
"Ordinary Star Evils nurtured by the Evil Star for months are this ferocious," Liou Yuan judged that this Star Evil’s strength was no less than that of Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.
This confirms that under the nurturing of the Evil Star, almost all Star Evils have strength no less than Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.
This is why Shoushan Tower set the standard at Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer.
Such a Star Evil, put in Yanhe City, would be enough to trouble the Qinghe Division, but certainly poses no threat to Zhao Feiyue.
Liou Yuan watched her figure leap repeatedly, like a thunderbolt swift, his eyes barely keeping up with her speed.
As for the Star Evil, covered in pustules, it couldn’t even touch her garments.
Instead, the Star Evil gradually succumbed under Zhao Feiyue’s magic attacks, the outcome already apparent.
Liou Yuan casually stopped at the edge of the battle, not joining the fight.
His eyes reflected the thunder magic glow Zhao Feiyue cast, with hidden caution in his gaze.
"In terms of the sharpness of magic, the Thunder Acupoint is indeed unmatched, no wonder Qiu Ming rates Zhao Feiyue so highly."
This was Liou Yuan’s first time seeing Zhao Feiyue in action; he silently evaluated the gap between him and Zhao Feiyue, estimating the odds of winning if he were to face her.
"Her thunder body technique is too fast, and her magic power is formidable, Yellow Jade Buddhist Beads wouldn’t withstand a few hits."
"Without using the Green Tide Pure Water Sword, my chance of winning is less than thirty percent."
"With the swordsmanship, it should be fifty percent."
Of course, this is based on the strength Zhao Feiyue has already revealed.
If she has any trump cards... or surely she has, then it’s hard to say.
But Liou Yuan also has some aces up his sleeve, that Evil Eyes, if activated, dares to challenge Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.
Liou Yuan pondered for merely four or five seconds.
Zhao Feiyue had already finished the battle, transforming the thunder into a long spear pinning the Star Evil to the ground.
Then the thunder exploded.
Boom! Azure lightning blew the Star Evil into hundreds of pieces.
The battle ended, and not a speck of dust stained the dark outfit Zhao Feiyue wore.
Her graceful, vigorous figure stood in the center, accompanied by thunder, imposing in manner.
"Miss Zhao is excellent!" Liou Yuan applauded beside, unapologetically admiring her.
"The attacking power of your Thunder Acupoint is so strong, I don’t think there’s anyone among this year’s Five-Star Star Acupoint disciples who can rival you."
"It’s not me being strong; it’s the Star Evil being too weak," Zhao Feiyue didn’t show any victory joy, instead responding to Liou Yuan with a faint smile.
"What’s up, finished?" Qiu Ming strode into the scene, looking at the shattered Star Evil corpse, complained with some resentment: "Useless pest, made me run here for nothing."
"You had the chance to go!" Liou Yuan casually replied to Qiu Ming.
Suddenly he pricked up his ears as if hearing something, and immediately turned his gaze towards Chouhuai City’s walls.
The walls were dark, vaguely seeing seven Five Extremes Mountain disciples led by Miss Lai moving around above.
Woo~ Roar~ Moo~ Various strange cries came from the direction of the walls, accompanied by the roaring of magic.
Evidently, Star Evils outside took advantage of the nightfall and the Evil Star’s blessing.
Once again launched an attack on Chouhuai City, blocked by the seven outer sect disciples led by Miss Lai.
Liou Yuan was not concerned about their safety.
Five Extremes Mountain’s sect rules determined that its disciples were all battle experts, much stronger than the defense force consisting of loose cultivators in Chouhuai City.
So he took a glance at the wall direction, quickly retracting his gaze.
Then, he listened carefully to the city’s noises again.
Since completing the Breathing Skill at Kidney Mansion, his hearing was more than five times that of ordinary cultivators.
Chouhuai City was small, smaller than Yanhe City, any move by Star Evils could be captured by Liou Yuan.
"Kan Position, Xun Position have movements," Liou Yuan’s clear voice pinpointed two spots, surprising Zhao Feiyue and Qiu Ming.
Zhao Feiyue was the first to react to Liou Yuan’s words, questioning hesitantly: "Mr. Liou practiced the Ear Root Perfection Method?"
Liou Yuan smiled and said: "I practiced the Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill."
The Five Mansions Star Gazing Breathing Skill was an Grade B Breathing Skill exchanged by Liou Zhen from Five Extremes Mountain, a high-quality Breathing Skill naturally renowned in Five Extremes Mountain.
Having heard of the properties of this Breathing Skill, Zhao Feiyue immediately understood once Liou Yuan spoke, revealing an enlightened expression and saying, "So that’s it, no wonder."
"I’m off."
With that, Zhao Feiyue, without hesitation, once again became a stream of light rushing towards Kan Position.
"I’ll go to Xun Position!" Qiu Ming responded hastily.
It had been four or five months since the last mission, and Qiu Ming was itching to fight.
Eager to retaliate after Zhao Feiyue took the lead earlier, when Liou Yuan’s voice fell, he charged towards Xun Position carrying the Yellow Jade Axe, fearing that he might be outpaced by Zhao Feiyue again.
Only Liou Yuan remained standing, focused, listening for a moment before heading towards the east of the city.
His strength compared to that in Yanhe City was vastly different.
Ordinary Star Evils, he indeed did not take them seriously.
Likewise, be it Zhao Feiyue or Qiu Ming, they are prominent figures within Qi Cultivation Fifth Layer; the three of them are enough to rival any Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer.
For them, sweeping out the Star Evils in the city was effortlessly manageable.
