120: Chapter 120 The Fish Fairy Makes a Move
"This old man is in the Saint Realm." The Fish Fairy walked over slowly.
She leaned down and placed her palm on Xiahou Yun's back, sending pure Spiritual Qi rapidly into her body.
"Although this backlash isn't fatal, it has caused significant injury."
As the words fell, The Fish Fairy lifted her hand, gripping the jade seal back into her palm, her gaze growing solemn.
"This old man's strength cannot be underestimated; we must not engage him in a direct, forceful battle."
"Hahaha! This is the Third Elder of the Tyrant Blade Sect! If you know what's good for you, surrender obediently, and you might still have a chance to live!" The leader of the Man in black straightened his back instantly upon seeing this.
With the phantom of a Saint backing him, his tone became increasingly arrogant and domineering.
"It's merely a remnant Divine Sense of a Saint; hardly worth bragging about." The Fish Fairy sneered, looking entirely unconcerned.
"Even if it's just Divine Sense, it's enough to slaughter all of you!" The lead Man in black retorted, raising an eyebrow.
His gaze swept over Xiahou Yun and Yan Linfei, the greed in his eyes deepening.
To think he would encounter so many stunning beauties today; it truly was a heaven-sent opportunity.
"Why are you so noisy, boy?" The phantom of the Third Elder suddenly turned its head.
Its gaze swept toward the lead Man in black like a sharp sword.
The Man in black instantly reined in his aura, smiling sheepishly.
"Third Elder, please calm your anger. Naturally, these women are for you to inspect first before we deal with them."
"They are just a few wet-behind-the-ears little girls, yet I have to step in to clean up this mess," the Third Elder sighed lightly.
"Old man, take this!" The Fish Fairy stopped wasting words and flicked her wrist.
Using the jade seal in her hand as a weapon, she hurled it toward the Third Elder's phantom with a gust of wind.
"A mere Magic Treasure dares to be impudent before me!" The Third Elder didn't even lift an eyelid.
He casually waved an invisible burst of energy, knocking the jade seal to the ground.
Then, he sucked with his palm, creating a powerful suction force.
The overturned jade seal followed the suction and flew toward him, about to fall into his control.
Just then, a wicked smile curled the corners of The Fish Fairy's mouth, and her figure suddenly vanished from where she stood.
"Shift and Swap!"
The next second, she appeared in front of the Third Elder's phantom.
An awl abruptly appeared in her palm, and she stabbed it toward the phantom's heart without hesitation.
"Ah!"
The Third Elder roared as his Divine Sense phantom was struck.
It instantly disintegrated like shattered glass, turning into specks of light and dissipating completely.
"Sigh, the Stabbing God Awl is indeed worthy of its reputation for suppressing Divine Sense entities; it's truly useful." The Fish Fairy sighed lightly, toying with the awl in her hand, her tone carrying a hint of triumph.
Meanwhile, deep within the Tyrant Blade Sect, in a cultivation room.
"Pfft!"
A white-bearded old man, identical to the Third Elder's Divine Sense phantom from earlier, violently spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the meditation cushion in front of him.
He opened his eyes abruptly, his gaze filled with disbelief and monstrous rage.
"My Divine Sense... it was actually destroyed by someone?"
"In... the Phantom God Forest!"
He circulated his Internal Energy, his gaze piercing through layers of space.
Gritting his teeth, he said, "How dare you destroy my Divine Sense! I will definitely avenge this!"
As the words fell, he stood up abruptly, and his figure flashed, disappearing from the cultivation room.
On the other side, The Fish Fairy walked up to Xiang Tian with the jade seal.
"Master, I've solved such a huge problem for you this time; how are you going to thank me?"
Xiang Tian felt his heart warm at this address of "Master."
He asked in surprise, "You call me Master, too?"
He looked at The Fish Fairy before him, his heart full of doubts.
This fish spirit was once an empress; how could she have such an attitude now?
"Not bad, you actually managed to wipe out all these men in black."
Xiang Tian supported the now-stable Xiahou Yun, his gaze scrutinizing The Fish Fairy.
He got straight to the point, "But what is your state right now? Shouldn't you be a part of the empress?"
The Fish Fairy chuckled, her tone carrying a hint of cunning.
"Me? I've already snatched the dominance of this body!"
"What's going on?" Xiang Tian frowned.
He still remembered clearly the time the seven sisters fused into the empress.
By all rights, it was impossible for The Fish Fairy to seize dominance.
"The empress is sealed inside the jade seal, which limits her greatly." The Fish Fairy put away her smile and explained seriously.
"Thanks to the power of the jade seal, I took advantage of the Fusion opportunity to turn the tables and gain control."
She paused, her tone becoming a bit shy as she added bashfully,
"However, I am now completely bound to the jade seal—we prosper together and suffer together—so you naturally became my Master."
Xiang Tian suddenly realized.
It turned out that The Fish Fairy had accidentally formed a symbiotic relationship with the jade seal due to its properties, and as the owner of the jade seal, he had indirectly become her master.
"Master, don't look at me like that; even though I am symbiotic with the jade seal, I... I can still practice Dual Cultivation with you, and even bear your children."
As The Fish Fairy spoke, a blush rose to her cheeks, and she lowered her head shyly.
Xiang Tian felt a panic in his heart.
He had indeed engaged in Dual Cultivation with this body once, but The Fish Fairy knew nothing about it.
He glanced at Xiahou Yun beside him and quickly changed the subject.
"Uh, let's discuss Dual Cultivation later. You stay by Xiao Yun's side from now on; just treat each other as sisters."
Although Xiahou Yun's face was still a bit pale, she didn't expose him, merely nodding faintly.
"Xiang Tian, I'm afraid something has really happened to the Ninth Princess." Yan Linfei spoke up suddenly, her brows tightly furrowed.
"We've been fighting here for so long, and the commotion has been significant; it's impossible for the Ninth Princess and her group not to have noticed."
"No time to delay, let's go!"
Xiang Tian immediately scooped Xiahou Yun up horizontally, his Internal Energy erupting under his feet as he sped toward the camp.
The Fish Fairy, Yan Linfei, and the others followed closely behind, their figures flashing through the forest like fleeting shadows.
At the camp, it was already in chaos.
The Ninth Princess and her group had indeed encountered a formidable enemy, led by an arrogant-looking youth who was examining the surrounded crowd with a playful gaze.
"The Ninth Princess of the Tianyun Kingdom, as long as you agree to be my concubine, I will let all these people go. How about it?"
The youth's tone was frivolous, his gaze wandering wantonly over the Ninth Princess.
"Princess, you must not agree to him!" Ouyang Yuanshan roared angrily, his blood and Qi surging.
"You represent the face of the Tianyun Kingdom; even if we all die in battle, we must never let you suffer such humiliation!"
"That's right, Princess! You cannot agree!" Qin Batian also had his eyes splitting with rage, gripping his weapon tightly, wishing he could rush up and fight to the death with the other side.
But the enemy not only had many men, but also several Peak Martial Emperor experts holding the line.
As Early Stage Martial Emperor Cultivators, they had no power to fight back at all.
Once they made a Move, they would be instantly killed.
"Impudent! When this young Sect Master is speaking, is it your place, a subordinate, to interrupt?"
The youth's gaze suddenly turned cold, sweeping toward Ouyang Yuanshan and the others.
"Hmph! Without these old guys backing you up, what are you?" Chen Yan walked out of the crowd and snorted coldly, staring fearlessly at the youth.
"Oh? It seems you are very unconvinced?"
The youth raised an eyebrow and smiled, a hint of playfulness flashing in his eyes.
"Good, this young Sect Master will give you a chance; come and fight me head-on."
As he spoke, he beckoned to Chen Yan with an extremely arrogant posture.
"You said it yourself!"
Chen Yan's eyes lit up; he finally had a chance to make a Move and immediately stepped forward.
"Chen Yan, be careful! The people of the Yinshi Sect are best at sinister tricks and are definitely not just relying on brute force to win." Princess Zhou Zhiyan immediately warned, her brows tightly furrowed.
"This youth appears to only have Early Stage Martial Emperor cultivation, but his actual depth is hard to measure."
"Princess Zhou Zhiyan, don't worry. Can't I even deal with a pretentious person?" Chen Yan waved his hand dismissively.
He took a step and was already facing the youth.
The two stared at each other from a distance, and a strong Battle Intent instantly filled the air.
"Didn't you look down on this young Sect Master? Then let you make the first Move."
The youth made a "please" gesture, his tone still frivolous.
"You asked for this!"
Chen Yan did not stand on ceremony, exerting force under his feet.
His whole body instantly ignited with roaring flames, the firelight soaring into the sky, wrapping him completely.
He then turned into a fire shadow and attacked the youth swiftly.
"Oh? Fire-element Cultivation Technique? Interesting."
The youth only slightly raised his eyebrows, his expression indifferent, showing no sign of panic.
"Blazing Fire Palm!"
Chen Yan shouted, condensing massive flame power in his palm and slapping it toward the youth.
The youth did not dodge or avoid, also slapping out a palm.
His palm was tainted with eerie black Qi, not even having activated any Move.
"Bang!"
The moment the two palms collided, the force scattered.
The youth stumbled back several steps, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.
Chen Yan stood where he was, feeling an anomaly in his palm, but not noticing any other discomfort, and immediately sneered.
"Heh, claiming to be a young Sect Master, your strength is nothing more than this."
"Is that so?"
The youth slowly wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
There was no fear in his eyes, but rather a more vigorous Battle Intent.
He beckoned to Chen Yan with his finger. "Come again!"
"Since you are seeking death, I will fulfill your wish!"
Chen Yan snorted coldly, condensing fire power again, and slapped a palm toward the youth.
The youth still took the Move head-on and was pushed back again.
But Chen Yan frowned deeply.
He clearly felt that the power in his body had dissipated a little, and the power of his Moves had weakened a bit.
"Noticed something wrong?"
The youth curled his lips. "How is it? The taste isn't good, right?"
"You... what exactly did you do?"
Chen Yan's heart sank.
The Spiritual Qi in his body began to become chaotic.
Chen Yan felt something rampaging in his body, and he couldn't control its path of operation at all.
"Heh, naturally it is a unique recipe of our Yinshi Sect."
The youth patted the dust off his body.
"Alright, the time is almost up."
As soon as the words fell, thick black Qi suddenly erupted from Chen Yan's body.
Amidst the entanglement of black Qi, his body began to twitch uncontrollably.
