Capítulo 82: Chapter 82. Charging toward an ambush, no fear!
Yasenia managed to incinerate him, but the three sword cultivators were already attacking her. Without turning towards the cultivator approaching from her back, she jumped and used the black part of her tail to block him. The momentum shot her forward to the remaining two sword users.
Yasenia used [Lingering Star Step]'s illusion and slowed down, anchoring her tail to the ground. The sword users separated, trying to attack the illusion from different sides simultaneously, but they realized that they had been fooled shortly after. The real Yasenia used the gap they created with a burst of acceleration while laughing and mocking them, "Fools!"
Thanks to that speed burst, she passed between the two sword cultivators aiming toward the defenseless girl.
They hastily sped up after Yasenia. One of them couldn't help but shout, "Despicable! Aiming towards someone defenseless!?"
Yasenia ignored them and pointed her sword forward, directly using [Sun Charge]. The shield user placed her shield in front of her, but even when she managed to position it… *Bang!* Yasenia rammed her heavily as a highspeed carriage rammed against a mortal.
TYasenia sent the woman flying like a rag-doll with her internal organs misplaced, and her limbs turned in directions that shouldn't be possible. However, she was barely alive!
Yasenia turned towards the other three, who regrouped to have more chances against her. She saw that they were calmer than she expected. She looked at the barely recognizable woman and thought. 'Is it because she is still alive?'
Therefore, she smiled mockingly and lifted one hand toward the unmoving girl. One of them exclaimed, "STOP!"
Yasenia opened her charming mouth, "[Shooting star]."
"NO!"
One star shot towards the girl's head speedily. It exploded, and the girl's head became a red and white firework!
She looked again, and now she saw the expressions she expected, at least from the remaining sword user of the girl's group. That cultivator spoke, "You are truly ruthless. Aren't you afraid of retaliation outside this formation!?"
Yasenia looked in disbelief for a second and then laughed. "Who do you think you are? You don't know anything about me, and here you are, teaming up to kill me without caring about "Retaliation." Do you think I am like most beast-human participants? Another cultivator with "low influence." You are sorely mistaken." Yasenia shook her head.
The cultivator was about to speak again, but Yasenia cut him off with a smile. "By the way, thanks for stopping and giving me time with this pointless conversation [Starfall]."
The others prepared their defensive methods, but they didn't expect all the white lights around Yasenia to ballon up, making a sight that they won't forget for a long time. The 300 stars rained on them, destroying every single laid-out defense and leaving only a decimated land filled with craters and the body parts of the three cultivators.
Yasenia made sure the three were dead and continued her way speaking to herself. "The battle was well fought, but… Aren't I becoming more arrogant while fighting? I normally wouldn't even say a word while fighting… I have heard that dragons are arrogant, is my bloodline making me feel superior? I should be careful that the arrogance stays in my words and doesn't affect my fighting style…."
After reflecting a little, Yasenia continued her killing spree.
On this second day, Cecile found some people from the academy and grouped up with them. She was already at the third level thanks to the dual cultivation, and she was as strong as Yasenia, making her an important asset.
However, she had much less energy regeneration than Yasenia, and her body was more fragile. She, however, won in agility because of the giant sword that Yasenia carried. With Cecile's addition, their team easily killed beasts and cultivators alike, gaining many points. They couldn't help but be impressed with Cecile's performance.
Their current position was south from Yasenia's current position, quite a distance away too.
After some hunting hours, they rested in an area where other teams seemed to have a ceasefire agreement. After resting, they left that area while Cecile listened to conversations around when one caught her attention. "That annoying animal! Can't she shove that giant sword up her ass?"
His companion said, "Have you heard? A big group of resurrected people aims to kill her after teaming up with a level nine cultivator. She has killed a ton of cultivators."
The first one said convincingly, "I know; moreover, she is in the top 200s! She should give a ton of points."
Without noticing an icy gaze locked onto them, the two walked outside the camp. The other asked strangely, "How do you know her ranking? Has she said her name for all to hear? By the way, which direction should we go to see it? It should be quite interesting."
The other cultivator shrugged, "We should go northeast from here, and about her ranking… I don't know if it is the truth. I heard a Tang family cultivator speak about it. Anyway, let's go and kill- *Gurlge*."
The companion looked horrified at the stuck ice arrow on his companion's throat. He was about to speak when an ice arrow lodged into his forehead. They both dropped, and a rain of arrows followed, transforming them into icy porcupines.
Cecile appeared with a frosty expression and a murderous aura. Her voice sounded so cold that the others in her group were having chills just listening. "We are going northeast. Speed up."
Some minutes before Cecile realized Yasenia's peril, Yasenia was killing one third-rank, middle-level beast similar to a rhino. She dodged the charge and opened a giant wound on its side.
She was about to continue her attacks when suddenly, a silent arrow struck her back *Clang!* Thanks to the robe and the [Celestial Coat], it just made Yasenia lose her stance.'Was it too weak for my instinct to alert me? Or is it the cultivator extremely stealthy?'
With a tail slap to the ground, she managed to dodge the beast's horn and regain balance.
Yasenia decisively turned and ran after the attacker, leaving the beast behind. The beast roared in victory, which almost made Yasenia turn around to beat it to the ground, but she resisted the impulse. 'That weakling roaring like an idiot, I will come back later to kill it! But someone that can bypass my instincts is bound to be abnormal. I can't fight with the beast with someone attacking me all the time.'
Having lost their tracks, Yasenia used her [Lingering star step] and shot in a random direction. 'Since they didn't continue the attack, they should be testing me. I will try to confuse them and see if they can follow after me easily. Even if they can follow me, without the beast annoying me, I will be able to track them easier….'
She put her senses on high alert and stopped after 5 minutes of running. After she stopped running, she checked her back, 'Thankfully, my cultivation robes are high level, and I was using the [Celestial coat], so I didn't receive damage… I don't feel strange, so It shouldn't be poisoned... Can people carry poison inside this formation? The rules are too vague!'
Setting other thoughts to rest, she put her back on a tree trunk and looked around and on the branches. It was past midnight, and the Crescent Moon in the sky seemed smiling. Her slit pupils thinned as she tried to search for anything around her. She saw some normal beasts but couldn't see anything else strange…
After waiting for a minute, she decided to bluff, "I admit that your camouflage is impressive, to say the least. However, my instincts seem stronger~ Come out so we can speak. Since you are so skilled, maybe we could team up? I will count to ten, and if you don't come out on your own… [Starry sky], [Celestial Coat]. We will have to speak in a different way, hahaha!"
Yasenia smirked and started her count, "One, two…"
When she reached the count of five, she readied her sword and slowed down her counting speed tempting the stalker to come out. When the count got to eight, she started revolving her stars around her as a show of impatience. "… Nineee~ Are you sure about this? Aaaand T-"
Yasenia heard a very small rustling from her right, and she turned lightning-fast towards that direction, slashing horizontally. The 150m wide enormous [Crescent Moon] attack, empowered by the crescent moon in the sky, shot forward at blinding speed!
Yasenia saw a shadow jump upwards to dodge that strike and focused all her senses on it. 'A female cat-kin!'
Yasenia didn't waste time and charged at her. That beast-man started running and used a talisman to speak some words. Yasenia saw that action and thought, 'She is baiting me. Should I stop? I have quite an advantage in points... Well, if I die, it will be a nice lesson. Using the formation to learn the pain of death… Crazy, but interesting nonetheless. Let's follow her!'
Yasenia sharpened her senses and prepared for an ambush or a trap. As Yasenia expected, the cat-kin was guiding Yasenia to an ambush.
On the other side, more than 30 high-level cultivators waited for her. They ranged from level 5 to the leader, who was the only one in the ninth level of the Mental nourishing realm.
There weren't a lot of cultivators on the ninth and half-step level because most of them already had their entrance tickets from the sects' entry quota for the secret realm.
Yasenia has encountered one half-step Mental nourishing realm cultivator earlier. However, she ran away without even trying; they were a whole realm above her! Without using some trump cards, like a fully charged [Noon], or [Day and Night], she won't be able to give a decent fight!
Meanwhile, the leader of the ambushers spoke when he received the communication, "She is coming. Prepare the ranged attacks; we will kill her with one strike, do not let her retaliate!"
Some answered, "Yes, leader Tang!"
Meanwhile, Yasenia chased the cat-kin, who was more agile than expected. 'Even if I'm not going full speed, she is quite fast for a level four cultivator. Well, little kitty, I will start attacking now~.'
Yasenia started spinning like a dancer while they ran, sending [Crescent Moon] attacks to that cat beast-man. The cat-kin used the darkness attribute to blend into the night and dodge the giant crescents, but some freezing burns appeared when the attacks passed near her, making her realize that it was game over for her if Yasenia hit her once. 'For the love of the heavens, I'm at the fourth level! How is she able to one shoot me!?'
Yasenia activated [Starry sky], but she didn't stop there.
"[Wanning Moon]" Her sword got covered by a chilling silver light, and the red glow of the blade also became silver.
"[Celestial coat]" Her body and sword became covered in the silver-gold soft glow while white firefly-like whites surrounded her.
Her figure in the night became extremely beautiful. The silver glow accentuated by a light golden glow covered her body, highlighting her charm and the white ping-pong-sized stars glowed around her. Meanwhile, the white firefly-like lights of her coat made her seem like a passing constellation.
Yasenia continued to attack with [Crescent Moon], leaving her energy constantly at 80~90%. The cat beast-man was very agile and got used to the rhythm of her strikes. 'A little more, and I can reach the group.'
Yasenia smirked, and after using a [Crescent moon] with her sword, while she was in the middle of the spin, she used her tail to release another [Crescent moon]! Moreover, she whispered gently, "[Shooting star]."
The cat beast-man jumped to dodge the attack. However, when the cat-kin was mid-air, another slimmer silver crescent greeted her! The cat-kin tried to avoid it midair using her flexibility, but the crescent slashed off her legs!
When she was shouting in pain mid-air, she turned to look at Yasenia resentfully. However, what greeted her was a white watermelon size ball! *Boom!* Her head exploded!
Yasenia knew that the ambush was near because her instincts sent alarm bells! However, she continued running forwards.
She used [Lingering star step] to send an afterimage first and slowed down, observing what would happen. 'I could use [Day and Night], but I want to try fighting without the skill that cripples me afterward. How far will I be able to go~?'
After five seconds, countless projectiles attacked the afterimage, lighting up the night! "Stop! She is behind!." However, his warning was too late, and almost all of the gathered people had attacked the illusion. Worse, he had revealed his position through his voice.
