The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead-Chapter 478: Just a Minor Skin Injury

Nian Shutong and the ugly bird took to the sky, glancing at the dispersed crowd below and thinking how truly beautiful the scenery here was.

"Bug, let’s just fight in the air."

Nian Shutong clasped her hands in Sealing, Spiritual Power pouring forth, a green light of Spiritual Power flaring up into the sky, rising high, then spreading out.

"Seal!"

A Spiritual Power Shield shimmering with water-like ripples covered Nian Shutong and the ugly bird.

"Roar———"

"Master, it——"

"Stop the nonsense, is it trying to kill me?"

"Yes."

"Then let’s finish this!"

Nian Shutong raised her sword and charged, each Sword Light leaving a trail of bloody marks on the ugly bird’s body.

The ugly bird was thoroughly enraged. This bipedal creature dared to hurt it—intolerable!

The ugly bird’s wings flapped, fierce Gang Wind assailed Nian Shutong; while she protected herself with a Spiritual Energy Shield, it was almost shattered due to the ugly bird’s might.

"Boom———"

The Spiritual Energy Shield shattered, and the Big Bird clawed at Nian Shutong. If this strike hit, it would leave her dead or crippled.

"Damn it!"

Nian Shutong held her sword with one hand while her other hand, covered in Qing, slipped into a tricky position, sidestepped, sank down, and slid under the ugly bird’s claw.

Her hand gripped one of the Big Bird’s talons tightly, her tempered body exerting strength.

"Roar———"

With a furious roar, the ugly bird’s talon was twisted off. But it wasn’t over; Nian Shutong, holding her sword in one hand, saw it transform instantly into a sharp sword and she thrust upward.

But just as she reached the belly of the ugly bird, not even piercing through, Nian Shutong was flung away.

"Roar———"

The ugly bird screeched in pain and rage.

Nian Shutong, who had been flung away, crashed into her own Spiritual Energy Shield with a thud, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

She wiped the blood from her mouth, her eyes dropping in a cold smile.

As she looked up again, her eyes were dark and tear mole demonically red.

"I’m injured then."

Nian Shutong stood tall, the sword in her hand vanished, replaced by clasped hands in Sealing.

"Today you’ll learn, how we of the Cultivation World fight."

Nian Shutong’s hands, overlapped and then pulled apart by her.

After they were pulled apart, a small sword spun between her palms.

"Go!"

With that command, a small sword multiplied into three, six, twelve...

After the swords flew a certain distance, in just an instant, they multiplied into thousands.

From all around, in a 360-degree assault with no blind spots, they hurtled towards the ugly bird, their fierce approach signifying that each one could inflict a fatal wound.

Meanwhile, on the ground, as people realized there were fighters above, many couldn’t resist watching the excitement.

The battle between Nian Shutong and the ugly bird erupted in an instant, with Nian Shutong’s myriad of swords unleashed in just one minute.

"Good heavens! What is that?"

"Who exactly is that person?"

"Are my eyes deceiving me? Why are there so many swords appearing?"

"It seems their fighting isn’t affecting us."

"It’s like there’s a shield covering them."

"That shield is so good, if we had that, we wouldn’t need to fear Fierce Beasts attacking the city."

"It doesn’t seem easy to come by."

"Quick, look! That person seems to be a woman, and she’s moving again!"

At this point in the battle, the ugly bird had used its wings to block most of the swords.

"Oh, it’s turned into a porcupine."

Nian Shutong’s teasing only enraged the ugly bird further, causing it to roar in fury and spew flames without a care.

"You only know this one trick."

"Playing with fire, who can’t?"

Nian Shutong casually drew a circle with her right hand in front of her, and black flames appeared.

When the ugly bird’s flames collided with the black flames, they were devoured and vanished without a trace.

The ugly bird flapped its wings, trying to shake off the swords embedded in them, but how could Nian Shutong let it have its way?

Sealing again, she unleashed Spiritual Power recklessly, and the swords on the ugly bird’s body suddenly exerted force, piercing deeper into its wings.

"Roar, roar, roar———"

Struggling fiercely, the ugly bird endured the pain on its body and flew towards Nian Shutong.

Nian Shutong didn’t want a head-on collision, as the ugly bird’s greatest strength was its physical toughness. Ordinary weapons could hardly cause any damage. Although its offensive methods weren’t strong, it was very resistant to beating.

Taking advantage of her body’s agility, she began to dart chaotically in the air.

She had to sustain her Xuan Fire to devour the flames the ugly bird shot at her, manipulate Spiritual Power to damage the ugly bird’s wings and constantly dodge the ugly bird’s physical attacks.

For a moment, her consumption of Spiritual Power was so great that she could barely keep up.

If she couldn’t keep up, then she needed a quick resolution.

However, this Big Bird was still formidable. She had poisoned it from the start, but it showed no signs of succumbing to the poison until now. Truly, at a certain level, resistance to poison also became formidable.

That’s not right, though; those Star Thieves had no resistance at all.

"My master, may I remind you that you are in the middle of a battle, please don’t let your mind wander."

"As for your question, I can answer that. The ugly bird has absorbed toxins to cultivate to an SS-level Fierce Beast; ordinary toxins won’t work on it."

The reminder from Little White Mouse clarified things for Nian Shutong.

Since poison was ineffective, it was time for a real fight.

Nian Shutong watched the ugly bird’s continuous attacks and, seizing the opportunity, charged forward in between the ugly bird’s roars during a frontal assault, slipping between its claws.

The sharp claws grazed Nian Shutong’s back, but she paid no heed and charged through, flying upward to land on the ugly bird’s head.

"Let’s see if your eyes are just as tough!"

The sword reappeared as Nian Shutong tightly grasped one of the Big Bird’s eyelids; with her other hand raised high, she forcefully chopped towards the unsightly eye.

The ugly bird’s intelligence was definitely not low; it frantically shook its head, trying to throw Nian Shutong off.

But Nian Shutong clung on as if rooted to the spot. Even when shaken off and sent flying, she didn’t let go and hung on stubbornly.

Not only that, but when she was shaken off for who knows which number of times and fell, she utilized the force of the fall to launch a burst of Sword Light from her hand, striking the Big Bird straight in the eye.

"Roar———"

The ugly bird screamed in pain, but you strike hardest when your opponent is down—Nian Shutong definitely understood this principle.

Releasing a dazzling light recklessly, one of the ugly bird’s eyes was left as nothing more than a bloody socket.

And Nian Shutong was finally thrown off.

"Boom——-"

Another loud noise, and the Spiritual Energy Shield began to crack.

At this moment, the Big Bird, with one wing drooping, seemed to have a hard time flying.

"Let’s go again!"

Nian Shutong wouldn’t miss her chance at victory and charged with her sword aimed straight for the ugly bird’s throat.

Naturaly, the ugly bird wouldn’t sit still waiting for death; its claws whirled through the air, though it kept dropping down as it flew, its wings seemingly out of commission.

"If poison doesn’t work, what about rain?"

"Or says rain with salt in it?"

"Come then, let me wash your wounds for you."
