Chapter 139: The Beast Tide [4]
*swish*
In a single fluid motion, Jin Wei spun, her blade slicing through the air in a wide arc.
*sleesh* The tip of her sword caught the beast's underbelly, and a spray of thick, dark blood erupted from the wound.
"WRAAARGHHH!!" The centipede screeched in agony, its body writhing as it shrank.
But Jin Wei was relentless and darted forward, dodging through the beast's thrashing limbs with a precision that left those watching breathless.
Her sword danced in her hand, cutting through the air with deadly accuracy.
*sleesh* *sleesh* Each strike severed the beast's legs one after another as she dodged its venomous fangs and swiping claws.
A claw slashed toward her, aiming for her torso, but Jin Wei leaped into the air, twisting gracefully as the blow passed just inches beneath her.
Landing lightly on one of the centipede's many legs, she sprinted up its body, her blade flashing as she struck at its armor-like scales.
"GUARGH!!" The beast writhed in fury, snapping its jaws at her, but Jin Wei moved with such speed that the creature seemed unable to keep up.
*woosh* She was like a blur of silver and steel, her movements seamless, every slash of her sword precise.
Around her, smaller spirit beasts lunged, taking advantage of the chaos and a hulking arachnoid beast skittered toward her, its mandibles clicking furiously.
Without even glancing in its direction, Jin Wei flicked her wrist, as a white sword slash flashed through the air.
The slash beheaded the creature in a single strike and Its dead body crumpled to the ground.
"GRAARGH!!" The centipede let out another ear-splitting screech as it tried to shake her off, its body coiling in an attempt to crush her.
*flick* Jin Wei jumped again, soaring through the air as the massive coils crashed together beneath her, missing her by a fraction of an inch.
*swosh* As she slashed her sword mid air, white arcs of sword energy shot out from her blade, crisscrossing the battlefield.
*sleesh* Each one sliced through the centipede's armored body, leaving deep gashes that oozed blood.
"WAAAAGHH!" The beast thrashed wildly, its segmented body twisting as it tried to evade the relentless barrage of slashes.
She landed lightly on the ground and spun, her sword cutting a perfect circle as another wave of sword energy surged forward.
The slash cleaved through several of the centipede's legs, sending them flying through the air before crashing to the ground with a thud.
"GRRGHHHH!" The beast let out another shriek, but Jin Wei was already moving again.
As the centipede lunged toward her, its massive jaws snapping at the air, Jin Wei dodged with ease, her body twisting gracefully between its attacks.
She ducked under its venomous fang that grazed the air above her, then flipped backward as its tail whipped toward her, slamming into the ground where she had just been standing. *thoom*
With a cold, focused expression, she raised her sword high, gathering an immense amount of sword into a single, concentrated strike.
*fwish* Her blade shone with a blinding white light, and the ground beneath her feet cracked from the sheer pressure of the energy she was channeling.
*SWISHH*
With a powerful downward slash, she unleashed a devastating wave of sword energy that shot forward like a tidal wave.
*WOOOSH* *THOOOMM* The energy crashed into the centipede with an explosive impact, tearing through its body and severing it in two.
"CRAAARGH!" The creature let out one final, ear-piercing shriek as its massive body crumpled to the ground, lifeless.
Smaller beasts, drawn to the chaos, lunged toward her from all directions.
Jin Wei's eyes flashed, and with a flick of her wrist, she sent out rapid slashes, each one cutting through the air like a blade.
*slish* *slish* *slish*
The white energy arcs flew out in every direction, slicing through the approaching spirit beasts easily.
Arachnid-like creatures were torn apart mid-lunge, their legs severed by the razor-sharp energy.
Flying beasts dropped from the sky, their bodies cleaved in half before they could even reach her.
Jin Wei moved like a storm, her sword moving like a blur as she effortlessly dispatched the beasts.
Every swing of her blade sent another arc of slashes flying, cutting down multiple beasts at once.
The people, who were watching, their jaws dropped in shock looking at Jin Wei killing them just with her sword and she was not even using her elemental powers.
The captain of the guard was taken aback. "I didn't know there was a sword saint within our city..."
"This is the right time..."
Taking a deep breath, he yelled "Everyone! Charge forward."
With the determination, Jin Wei gave them everyone again leaped into the group of spirit beasts as they again continued to kill them.
*sleesh* Cutting another spirit beast, Jin Wei's eyes narrowed "That was not the sound which stirred this beast tide. This is just in the 1 stage of the Venerable Profound Stage."
"That beast should be more powerful... it should be in the rear in the mountains. Haa, let's clear these small ones first." she muttered under her breath.
Smiling, Chen Zin jumped into the crowd of beasts "I can't let my Master take away all the flashlight."
"I should also do good considering that I am that dumb woman's disciple."
*swoosh* Flames burst out of her body, as the red sword in her hand glowed with an intense crimson light, reflecting the flames that danced across her body.
The reptilian monstrosities, lunged forward, but Chen Zin's expression remained calm, her eyes focused on the oncoming horde.
*swoosh* She raised her sword, and flames erupted along its blade, burning fiercely.
The heat intensified, creating a shimmering haze around her and her grip tightened, and with a deep breath, she took her stance, ready to strike.
*whoosh*
Chen Zin surged forward, her sword blazing as she cut through the wave of beasts.
Her blade cleaved through the air, sending arcs of flame with every slash.
The moment her sword made contact with the multi-legged creature with fangs dripping venom—it erupted into flames, screeching as it was consumed by the fire.
*swish*
With a spin, she unleashed a wide, sweeping strike, and a surge of fire exploded outward from her sword.
The flames expanded in a devastating arc, engulfing several beasts at once.
"WRAARGH!" Their cries were drowned out by the roaring inferno as they were reduced to ash within moments.
Zhang Yuan who was floating in the air smiled faintly looking at the two beautiful women dancing across the battlefield with their swords.
He then glanced at his two disciples who were descending down the mountains to the City's front gate.
"This will be interesting..."
