Beginning with the Ubume Bird - Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Chapter 33 Leaking in the Hearts

The Tiger Head Great Spear shifted, and the Platinum Devouring Blade once again burst forth with a speed that left onlookers stunned.

Wind Marsh!

As the Devouring Blade thrust forward, Wushan did not care about the Blood Dip soaking his body, and once again swung the blue-green long staff in his hand to meet the attack.

The moment the white-golden spear collided with the blue-green long staff, Wushan felt an inexplicable chill in his heart.

“Bang~”

With a crisp snapping sound, dozens of blue-green fragments scattered in all directions.

The blue-green long staff was shattered everywhere, and cracks spread all the way into the palm of Wushan’s hand.

Behind General Cat, a flagpole broke for no apparent reason.

The Gold-engraved Tiger Head Spear, sharpness value: 100

Characteristic, Gun Lance Fang!

[Gun Lance Fang]: Every time the weapon collides, a judgement is made. If successful, it will cause intense damage to any weapon with a lower sharpness value.

Li Yan’s eyes flashed with intensity. He bent his front leg forward, and with a big “T” stance, he shot forward like an arrow. He swung the Tiger Head Great Spear at Wushan’s face.

This is bad.

Wushan pulled the apricot-yellow light to shield himself, kicked off the ground, and flew backward to retreat, not daring to entangle with Li Yan any longer.

The areas where General Cat excelled were stamina, recovery, and reaction speed.

Throwing aside the white flag that sealed the brother and sister duo, the perilous exchange between Wushan and Li Yan took place in just a few breaths, with the lightning-quick collisions involving the switching of four different flags.

The cobalt blue for healing, the apricot-yellow for blocking, the crimson for high-temperature flames, the blue-green for weaponry.

Li Yan plunged the Tiger Head Great Spear through the cobalt “Bei Zao”, and Wushan immediately switched to an apricot “Zhong Wu”. The spearhead split the crimson “Nan Li”, and the blue-green “Dong Su” long staff was already at Li Yan’s face.

Each flag exuded its own dazzling brilliance, not only displaying unique powers but seemingly possessing their own independent consciousnesses. With the Tiger Head Great Spear in Li Yan’s hand fluttering like a dragon, he was able for a time to match up against two arriving pairs of flags, coming to a draw with four great banners in total.

However, if one link in the chain were missing, this fragile balance would be broken in an instant!

Within five or six strikes, no more than ten, Li Yan would identify a flaw in the interplay of three alternating flags.

Once struck in vital spots such as the heart or the head, Wushan would not die but would be left crippled.

Whatever Fur Class lineage’s resilience he claimed, it could not withstand such punishment.

How long does it take for Li Yan to thrust ten times?

The Gold-engraved Tiger Head Spear is more than a zhang in length and weighs thirty-six jin.

It’s more than five times the weight of the Ring Dragon Sword.

Currently, Li Yan needed less than four seconds!

Li Yan advanced in the big “T” stance, not aiming to harm but to capture Wushan. His arms twisted around the spear shaft, and beads of sweat the size of soybeans dropped from his chin to the ground.

Unable to retreat in time, Wushan was struck in the thigh by the spear, but even so, he only guarded the vital points with apricot and cobalt hues, braving the bloody spatter, enduring several fierce hits without relenting in his counterattack.

The Great Spear was invigorated!

Chop, rise, Hidden Flight!

Stab, block, Hidden Flight!

Flick, grasp, Hidden Flight!

Sweat mixed with blood dripped down; the cobalt blue healing stream was only able to protect the front and not the back, leaving Wushan in a miserable state.

Yet a sharp gleam gradually emerged in his eyes.

Tiger Rises!

The Tiger Head Devouring Blade charged relentlessly, and Wushan, pulling hard with both hands, barely propped up the spearhead with apricot-yellow light, managing to catch this Tiger Rises attack.

Suddenly, General Cat behind Wushan bared his teeth, and four flags on his back lit up with brilliance simultaneously, his momentum skyrocketing!

Li Yan seemed to know the danger and tried to withdraw his spear, but the apricot-yellow light clung forward, sticking to the Devouring Blade.

Wushan watched as Li Yan futilely attempted to pull his spear free a few times, showing a ferocious smile on his face.

Thinking of leaving now? Too late!

Without warning, the Gu Huo Bird’s wings trembled, and a feather shot out.

The feather seemed light and inconsequential, appearing to have little power.

Having suffered from the “Hidden Flight” twice before, Wushan was well aware of Li Yan’s tactic and wasn’t overly concerned. He was ready to fight back even at the risk of his own safety.

But that persisting sense of doom chilled Wushan to the bone once again.

I’ll die~

I’ll die?

I’ll die!

White chains whistled through the air and lashed towards Li Yan’s back of the head, the crackling electricity on them making one’s scalp tingle.

Wushan, who had originally resolved to fight it out, suppressed his desire to strike at the last moment almost instinctively; instead, he used the chains from the white banners that had been intended to seal off the siblings Zhao Xin and Zhao Wu.

What a pity.

Li Yan sighed inwardly.

That Hidden Flight seemed unremarkable, but it was a replica of Tiger Rises!

If Wushan dared to resist with his body, Li Yan would definitely let him experience the taste of Blood Dip + Tiger Rises + Swallow Through the Curtain + Blood Dip’s burst.

Li Yan flicked his wrist to shake off the apricot-yellow scarf, spun the spear around, and the spearhead thrust into the eyelet where the chains linked together.

An apricot-yellow light lashed out like a serpent’s tail, striking the white feathers of the Gu Huo Bird.

Wushan yanked the white chains with his hand, the electricity following the Gun Lance Fang biting towards Li Yan’s wrist, but fizzled out at the end of the spear shaft.

Attribute, Sturdy Body.

Li Yan swung the great spear in his hand, wrapping several loops of chains around the spearhead and then pulling back sharply, causing the chains to shake and instantly straighten.

…

Seeing Wushan retract the white chains, Zhao Wu placed his sister’s arm behind his neck and supported her shoulders to rush down the mountain.

Anger flickered in the depths of Wushan’s eyes, but his face showed little of it; instead, he pretended nothing was wrong, “If you don’t attend to that bird demon soon, she might not make it.”

Li Yan had summoned the Black Rider Ghost long ago, but it hadn’t joined the battle. Instead, it guarded the Nine-Winged Sudu, and Li Yan stuffed several Yuanmou jujubes into the unconscious Sudu’s mouth. However, Sudu was unable to swallow, so the recovery effect was very limited.

Sweat dotted Li Yan’s nose, chin, and thick short hair, and the ground beneath his feet was wet, but his eyes were still fierce and sharp.

At that moment, Wushan, positioned opposite Li Yan, shielded the Nine-Winged Sudu and Black Rider Ghost from view.

And before Wushan, Li Yan similarly blocked the path of the siblings Zhao Xin and Zhao Wu.

“Leave the items behind.”

Li Yan said coldly.

“In your dreams.”

“Then don’t expect to leave.”

Veins bulged on Wushan’s forehead, and the four banners behind him burst into dazzling splendor simultaneously.

“We’ll just have to find them again!”

“Then save your breath!”

Li Yan supported the spear with his right hand, pressing down with his left thumb.

Swallow Through the Curtain started.

Behind General Cat, four banners burst forth with resplendent colors.

The four colored currents intertwined with the platinum radiance!

A sudden change occurred!

The night was dark as ink.

A beautiful yet lifeless face emerged from behind Li Yan.

It was Xiaomeng, the girl that “Earth Endurance” had rescued from Pei Yunhu’s hands.

That lovely face gradually shattered into fragments like eggshells, revealing a pair of gold wire glasses inside…

The lips were thin and cold, the nose bridge high and straight, the features handsome, with an Adam’s apple.

Pei Yunhu!

Celestial Blessing · Human Face with Peach Blossoms

Earth Endurance had long been eradicated by Pei Yunhu, who’d lain dormant until now, finally baring his fangs!

Wushan had been extremely cautious, yet he still fell for Pei Yunhu’s ruse!

What a pity.

Man proposes, heaven disposes.

Pei Yunhu, you’ve neglected the human heart…
