Chapter 435: Thunder of the Sky

She was being hunted.

Luo Xiaoxue never expected that this Dongwei Master would personally come to kill her.

It seemed she had become a thorn in Dongwei’s side, now targeted for elimination; they were too lazy to use her anymore, and had the audacity to want to kill a royal descendant.

Now, with a vast disparity in strength between enemies and allies, and with no subordinates to protect her, Luo Xiaoxue found herself at a significant disadvantage against her opponent.

What to do? What countermeasures were available?

Nothing. In such a short time, she couldn’t come up with anything, and Feng Ti and his companions wouldn’t give her the time to think.

Thinking back to the golden light circle that had surrounded her before, Feng Ti took note.

“This woman seems to know some body protection technique.”

Feng Ti pondered, then instructed his two subordinates:

“You two, go kill her.”

“Yes.”

The subordinates replied and immediately charged at Luo Xiaoxue, swinging their sharp blades.

Luo Xiaoxue swiftly raised her sword to defend, her swordsmanship was decent, but compared to the Dongwei people, she was merely a small fry. Besides, faced with two opponents, her chances of winning were slim; just two exchanges in, they had already identified her flaws, targeting her vital points, and they struck fiercely with their blades.

Luo Xiaoxue saw the lethal blades about to slice through her, just as they were about to land on her flesh, the golden light circle burst forth once more.

It repelled them, and the attackers were pushed back.

“What is this?”

Once again, that golden light circle acted like an impenetrable wall, shielding Luo Xiaoxue and surging with a repelling force that knocked back her attackers.

This golden light circle had protective effects; weapons couldn’t harm her.

The blades of the Dongwei people definitely wouldn’t kill her, and neither would that gang from the Sea Domain Dragon Clan.

This technique was similar to the Great威天龙 unleashed by Su Kexin, both triggered in dire situations to turn the tide in an unexpected way.

The Dongwei men were repeatedly pushed back and failed to kill Luo Xiaoxue.

“My lord, what kind of body protection technique is this?”

The two subordinates couldn’t land a hit; several times they tried to kill her, but each time they were bounced back by the golden light circle.

Feng Ti was in a bind; he had come thinking to easily kill her, but unexpectedly encountered this golden light circle.

It was like a mighty army facing a high and indestructible wall, completely blocked from entry.

Now they couldn’t kill Luo Xiaoxue, and she couldn’t kill them either. The golden light, growing stronger against strength, could potentially unleash lethal energy against a murderous force like the Sea Domain Dragon Clan.

“Get back.”

Taking advantage of the moment when his subordinates engaged with Luo Xiaoxue, Feng Ti had already regained his focus and locked his attack on her.

This time, he would use a faster Spirit Technique to destroy her.

Thunder Crash Technique.

In an instant, an incredibly powerful lightning bolt descended from the sky, striking at Luo Xiaoxue’s position.

Boom!

A violent explosion erupted immediately, stronger than when he had bombarded the carriage just moments ago.

However, after unleashing the Thunder Crash Technique, they were blasted back by the golden light force that surged forth.

The golden light circle grew larger than before, its explosive power much stronger.

But the golden light was short-lived and quickly dissipated.

Feng Ti was taken aback; the Thunder Crash Technique couldn’t kill Luo Xiaoxue.

When did this woman grow so powerful?

It wouldn’t be good if he left Luo Xiaoxue alive today; letting her live was like letting a tiger return to the mountain.

But due to the force rebounding from the golden light, Feng Ti’s hands trembled slightly, and his subordinates were knocked down by the powerful energy. Without their protective spirit energy, their survival was uncertain.

“My lord, what now?”

“You retreat; I have another way.”

Feng Ti thought of the failed Thunder technique and tried different methods.

If he couldn’t hurt her, then perhaps he could try to bind her instead.

Holding his Spirit Staff, he lightly stomped on the ground, closed his eyes, and recited an incantation.

Luo Xiaoxue had just recovered from her panic. That Thunder technique almost sent her to the underworld.

Once again, she was saved by Lin the Knight’s Dao Fu, and she had no idea how many times she had been on the brink of death.

As she was about to flee, vines erupted from the ground, ensnaring her legs.

She swung her sword to cut them down, but new vines quickly followed, restraining her further.

“Ah, so that’s how it works; as long as I don’t hurt her.”

Feng Ti quickly realized the subtlety behind it. The golden light activated when she was in danger; if he didn’t harm her, she was fine.

First, bind her, then figure out the next step, to prevent that golden light from reappearing.

“Let me go!”

Luo Xiaoxue struggled to escape, but to no avail.

“Knock her out and take her away,” Feng Ti ordered.

“Yes.”

Responding, the subordinates had many methods to incapacitate an enemy, like using sleeping incense or the like.

Now that Luo Xiaoxue was bound, she had no choice but to watch as her enemies approached.

Feeling helpless and despairing, her Dao Fu was ineffective, and she still had no idea how to trigger it; she wanted to rely on her own abilities, but each time ended in failure.

At that moment.

Tiny needles shot out from the forest, silently flying toward the approaching Dongwei men.

The two immediately tightened, but the needles were remarkably fast and numerous; they attempted to dodge, yet their retreat was anticipated by their unseen assailant, and they ended up getting hit by the needles.

What is this? Poison needles?

They were unsure, but soon their bodies fell into a state of weakness, unable to move.

Expelling the toxins.

They all had the thought of using their inner power to detoxify.

But that took time, during which a wind-like youth had already arrived, swiftly descending with his dagger.

The blade left a deep gash on them, spraying blood.

The boy was merciless, slicing through flesh without so much as a blink, leaving the Dongwei men with profound wounds.

Having been previously struck by the Great威天龙’s golden light, their protective spirit energy had already shattered, and now they found themselves utterly powerless against the sudden assault; they tried to fight back but ultimately became victims of his blade.

Feng Ti was shocked—where did this kid come from?

“Who are you? Why are you blocking us? Do you want to be a hero? Listen, if you oppose Dongwei, there’s no good ending for you.”

“Don’t misunderstand; I’m not looking to be a hero.”

Lin Nuo pulled his dagger from the Dongwei man, now stained with their blood.

“I have no other intention than to kill two people as a sacrifice to the heavens.”

“Such arrogance.”

Feng Ti’s spirit staff crackled with electricity; he was furious, channeling energy, ready to summon lightning from above.

Crack!

A bolt of lightning blasted down, targeting Lin Nuo directly. When ordinary people faced such thunder, they would be reduced to mere dust in an instant, taking the path to the underworld.

But it didn’t faze Lin Nuo in the slightest.

At that moment, two spirit symbols floated in the air, residual electric sparks crackling on them.

Feng Ti was stunned. What spirit symbols was this kid using that could withstand his Thunder Crash Technique?

“Is that all?”

Lin Nuo scoffed, he was an expert at resisting lightning, using specialized spirit symbols to absorb the thunder.

Afterward, the symbols shot upward, thick like a dark sky, and violently brought the thunder down.

Boom!

It exploded.
