Chapter 7
Xia Lihuas eyes no longer resembled that of a human. Her pupils became sharp and narrow. They were cold and indifferent. Her aura that had dropped from using Everlasting Ascension skyrocketed once more.
She clenched her fist.
crackle.
A resounding crack echoed into the Nether races ears. They silently gulped at the sound. Xia Lihua glanced at the Nether race and smiled. Her originally beautiful smile that could captivate any man and woman had become wicked. That was not to say her current form wasn't beautiful, but it had a different charm. Before her transformation, she was ethereal and untouchable, now, she had a devilish allure.
Her perfect pearly white canines grew longer and sharper, they looked capable of easily ripping apart flesh.
Xia Lihua took a deep breath causing her stomach to visibly expand. Then, she let out an ear-piercing draconic roar!
It struck the group like a cannon, shaking the group of Nether races in front of her, forcing them to take a step back. A few of them even bled from their ears. Using this to her advantage, she closes the gap between them and slashed at one of the members of the nether race who was still under the effect of the roar.
Like a hot knife cutting butter, a vertical line appeared from his forehead and stretched down to his crotch. He dropped from the sky, splitting into two portions as he fell into the ocean.
Xia Lihua turned to a silver flash and this time she targeted someone who was in the back of the group, Di Wei. She had seen him talking to Di Xiang on close terms so he couldn't be ordinary.
In the sky, right above Di Wei, she drew on her Astral Essence and raised her arm before slamming down her palm!
A silver dragon claw materialized in the air and descended like a meteor!
Di Wei was in the back of the group and Xia Lihuas roar didnt affect him too badly. He shook himself off and saw Xia Lihua attacking from above. The dragon claw brought immense pressure and he could see death approaching.
He quickly formed a hand sign. His tattoo glimmered and stirred. It writhed eerily and detached itself from Di Weis skin. It had a bald head, an empty eye socket, and an unhinged jaw.
It was a flying skull!
A black flame enveloped the skull burning with intense heat. Its eyes glowed with the dancing flame.
The skull looked up. Seeing the approaching dragon claw, it moved its jaw up and down as though it was laughing but no sound can be heard.
The skull opened its mouth, sending a concentrated black flame towards the claw.
An explosion rang out! A burnt stench permeated the air.
Di Wei coughed up a mouth full of blood.
She is too strong! How can someone like her be born in the Lower World!?
Suddenly, he felt danger. He turned around and saw that Xia Lihua had unknowingly moved behind him and thrown out another punch.
Phase Lock!
Time stopped.
Di Wei and the Nether race halted. Xia Lihua immediately took action. She couldn't hold them for long. It was extremely taxing to use Phase Lock on so many people at the same time.
Her claws glowed with silver Astral Essence. She swiftly slashed at Di Wei and then flashed towards the group of Nether race. With another three slashes, time resumed.
The bodies of Di Wei and another three members of the Nether race separated into over a dozen sections and fell into the ocean.
Against over four dozen experts of the Nether race, Xia Lihua had managed to kill ten of them!
Unfortunately, to kill the three people from the Nether race during Phase Lock, she had to move to the enemys circle. After Phase Lock ended, she became surrounded!
Kill!
Fuming with anger and disappointment in themselves for having lost over ten Chosen, the remaining Nether race attacked from all sides!
Xia Lihua reacted. She slammed her fists together and created a dreadful shockwave! The incoming Divine Arts lost their power to a degree while some even dissipated. Sadly, some of the attacks were too strong and bypassed the shockwave with only a minor power loss.
Boom!
Blood trickle from Xia Lihuas lip. The broken scales on her body lost their luster and revealed her skin. She moved her Astral Essence and her body acted quickly, the wounds on her body slowly closed and visibly healed. Although she looked miserable, her will to fight did not decrease. She instantly made her way to the person close to her and punched out!
The fight continued on both sides of the battlefield.
The Ancestors were at a stalemate while Xia Lihua was fighting fiercely. Every part of her body was like a dangerous weapon. From her fists to her elbows, and from her legs to her knee, even her head. She used them all, constantly swapping between them as she fought.
--------------------------
As the battle raged on, a conversation was taking place in the Upper World.
In a majestic grey palace. Two people sat in front of a table playing Go. A sickly-looking middle-aged man in a black robe with a beautiful golden design set a white stone down on the board. A crown sat on his head, he exuded an imposing temperament.
This Mortal Haven World is full of surprises. He slowly said
Meng Yin, Take the Heaven Merit Stone and give it to Di Shi. Tell him to descend.
There was no sound and no one replied to this man.
The man wasnt surprised and turned his attention back to the game. All the while the person in front of him said nothing.
---------------------------
In the Southern Continent
Ji Xian calmly opened his eyes and looked at the spatial tear. His eyes briefly brightened with a blinding light.
He slowly stood up and stretched.
Looks like were at the climax. Hmm, does this mean one hundred is not the maximum they can send down? But if they can send more, why are they only sending one? Unless He smiled after a thought.
He walked into the sky like a flight of stairs. Turning his head left and right, he appreciated the view for a minute before calmly making his way to the north.
What goodies will I get this time
As Xia Lihua and the Ancestors clashed with the Nether race. A beam of light suddenly shot down from the spatial tear earning the attention of everyone present.
A frown appeared on the faces of the Northern Continent Ancestors and Xia Lihua while the Ancestors of the Southern Continent were surprised, before turning indifferent. In their opinion, although the Nether race was strong, they werent on the same level as the Celestial race. Thus, they werent worried. Even if more people were sent down, it won't make a difference.
Are they sending down more people?
The Nether race on the other hand was completely shocked. Only one hundred people can descend into the lower world at the same time. If a faction wishes to send more, then a disastrous price must be paid! For the people above to send someone else down to this world, they probably werent optimistic about their chances of winning. Thinking along this line, they squeezed their fist, they felt disgraced. The people from Mortal Haven were stronger than they anticipated. They thought the Celestials defeat was due to a Divine artifact that most likely did not belong to this world but who wouldve thought
The light dissipated from the spatial tear and revealed a handsome young man. He did not quite share the same features as the other Nether race member. He has pale grey skin and his eyes are green but his hair wasnt white, it was also green! If one was meticulous, however, they would see a couple of streaks of white in his hair.
The minute he appeared, he looked around arrogantly. His eyes sweep through the Nether race and he looked at them with disdain. He stopped at Xia Lihua for a moment before looking below the ocean.
Di Xiang, how long are you going to hide!
