Chapter 101 Battle with Gwen

When the snake opened its eyes, its eyes which were of a marble texture and they zoomed in on Nightin who was a unfamiliar soul to it.

"Hiss!"

Nightin took in a deep gasp of air as he asked rudely "What's the bloodline percentage of this snake compared to that of true dragons?"

"What's the matter, it's the first time I met a cultivator who's afraid of a snake, though it might be due to the fact that you're just a low grade talent." Gwen mocked Nightin in an amusing manner, a sapphire coloured pistol was being spun around in her hand as she spoke.

She gave off the feeling of a elegant woman who knows how to attract the attention of a man, but he'll always be kept at an arm's distance no matter how much he tries.

Nightin drew out his sword and provoked "Why don't you try suppressing your cultivation base to the early stage Martial King realm as well and receive a sword of mine?"

Orochi stepped aside as he folded his arms and took on the role of a spectator, he didn't want to waste his energy on something this meaningless. It isn't bad for me to gauge his strength without making any effort to, guess I'll have to thank Gwen silently.

"You asked for it, don't blame me if you lose anything precious to you, aite?" Gwen provoked back as the pistol which she was holding in hand took on the form of a water orb, worm like substances could be seen surrounding the orb as a veil of water enveloped her.

"First form of the seven Astrals, Oceanic plane!"

Nightin dashed forwards as his sword slashed towards her from the right flank, his Life and Death sword awaiting the chance to ambush her once she gets caught off guard.

Is this a trick of his or something? Why is this attack so weak and what's with tis poorly executed slash? Gwen thought to herself as a card formed by water blocked off the attack, imprinted on the card were two spades.

From the back and front now? That's at best a decent attack for someone of his cultivation and age, but that's still far from enough to catch Orochi attention.

The battle progressed as Gwen spent most of her time trying to test just how far Nightin limit was, but his endurance greatly surprised her as he stood strong against her relentless wave of cards.

Clang

Nightin drew back for tens of miles even after he stabbed his sword into the ground to slow down the momentum, or it's more of just his sword scratching the ground.

A Savior sword might be sharp enough to cut through the substance below him, but his current strength was lacking which resulted in this awrkard scenario.

"Hey Orochi, did you just allow such a weakling to insult me?" Gwen screamed at Orochi as she fired a card towards her, yet the card this time was just outside of Nightin level.

He didn't even see how Gwen had attacked and yet the card was already in Orochi hand as he burnt it while answering "It isn't my fault that he berated you alright? You can take it out on him if you wish to, but please settle the official matter first."

Gwen replied coldly "You asked for it Orochi."

Gwen withdrew her aura for a split moment, but it came back much stronger when she released it once again, her face was that of a ice queen and nothing except for killing intent could be sensed in her soothing aura.

Water which was meant to be the life force which keeps him alive, was being extracted from his body which caused him to feel dehydrated all of a sudden.

Damn, I'm starting to feel dizzy from the dehydration, my mind feels clouded and my body feels heavy. Nightin could sense that his body was getting weaker with every passing second as he quickly circulated the firestorm within his spirit core.

The flames came alive as they attempted to destroy the mysterious energy extracting water from it, but that was a futile attempt as the fire dispersed all at once, resulting in a sudden burst of pain for Nightin within his body.

"Argh!" Blood leaked out from Nightin's body as he stabbed his sword onto the ground, but his pride made him stand on both his legs even though they were already unwilling to listen to his brain, he definitely wouldn't bow down to the bitch in front of him.

"Hey bitch, is this all you've got?" Nightin provoked as a smile formed on his face which was already distorted from the pain and dehydration, his teeth were covered in blood and his body was of a light tone of red as steam started to evaporate from his body.

"You think you've got me... Then please take back that foolish thought of yours bitch!" Nightin shouted as his Life and Death sword returned into his body.

The Life sword released the life energy within it as Nightin body started to recover while the destructive energy within the Death sword rampaged about and destroyed every single bit of that mysterious force.

"Divine: Rage of the Phoenix!"

The scorching flames of the Phoenix once again surrounded his body, but this time they were in full control as he perfectly spiralled the heat around his sword while concentrating the destructive force on the tip of the sword.

The scorching flames surrounded Nightin's body, but they protected him instead of burning his robes off.

This minor detail was however caught by Orochi who applauased for Nightin as he spoke to the jade snake on his arm. "Little Jade, do assist that little fella when the time arises."

"Why should I?" That's what the jade snake was saying to its master through its marble like eyes.

"Be obedient alright? I'll make sure to give you lots of jade candies." Orochi pacified the little jade snake coiled around his arm as he caressed its skin softly.

Gwen smirked "Not bad little fella, it's pretty impressive of you to have made me slightly serious."

"Second form of the seven Astrals, Projection plane!"
