The Ancestor of our Sect Isn't Acting like an Elder Chapter 202.1 – Shift, Alkaid No. 3

202.1 – Shift, Alkaid No. 3

Fortunately, support arrived in time.

“Please forgive this offense!”

“Wah!”

An impact erupted on her waist, and Xue Qilin was immediately thrown into the air.

As she span in the air, she saw Luo Hong lower his leg and realized that she was kicked. However, the other party didn't use much force. He probably just wanted to help her out.

Was there no other way? As she complained about Luo Hong in her heart, Xue Qilin, who was close to the ground, adjusted her posture in the air and stepped on empty space.

In this way, the impact of the fall was greatly reduced, and she landed gracefully like a stray cat.

“The agility technique taught by Little Xue is quite good…”

Xue Qilin uttered with a sigh at this inopportune time, and then looked at her previous position.

Luo Hong and his Senor Disciple Brother have engaged in a high-speed battle.

The two men that came from the same sect skittered out one after another. Luo Hong followed closely behind Shadow, who is shifting his position continuously. As if birds entangling with one another, they drew crisscrossing trajectories close to the ground, hurling all kinds of dazzling attacks at each other. They exchanged dozens of moves in the blink of an eye.

“Hey, they're so close…”

Not giving an inch one other, punches and dagger strikes streaked between the two. At the same time, the two often exchange positions, making it difficult for Xue Qilin to aim and provide support.

However, this does not seem to constitute a problem to Gong Jing.

“Tiger Leap!”

Gong Jing suddenly stomped the ground and ejected.

In a flash, as if heaven and earth were turned upside down, the old man turned into a meteor. He streaked through the night and closed the distance as fast as a bolt of lightning. Shadow naturally detected the great disturbance. However, since he is tied down by Luo Hong, he can't deal with it momentarily.

He won't escape this time! As soon as this thought popped up in her head, Xue Qilin saw an incredible scene.

“Shift!”

Luo Hong's exclamation sounded.

A moment ago, Shadow's figure suddenly disappeared. Gong Jing, who suddenly lost his target, quickly cancelled his move. But since there was no time to adjust the trajectory, he still collide with Luo Hong.

“Uh –!”

The groans of the two were almost identical.

The reaction force propelled the two in opposite directions. At this time, Shadow suddenly appeared behind Luo Hong, and the dagger in his hand shot towards the other party's heart.

“You wish!”

A melodious cry vibrated in the night air.

As if trying to tear everything apart, a resplendent ray of sword qi slashed towards Shadow.

The ray of sword qi contains vast power. Shadow, who has no intention of receiving it, dodged Xue Qilin's fierce attack.

Although the sword strike failed, but it still divide the battlefield.

As the glaring ray of sword qi streaked past, Luo Hong, who had just escaped from the clutches of death, used stealth. Meanwhile, Gong Jing approached Shadow from the front.

“Tiger Punch!”

Gong Jing's fist enveloped by a tiger projection roaring soundlessly barreled towards Shadow with the momentum of a clap of thunder.

Shadow stepped in the void, trying to play the same trick again.

This time, however, things didn't go his way.

A hand suddenly came out of the darkness and grabbed him by the ankle. With no way to escape, Shadow was forced to cross his arms in front of him and receive the fierce tiger.

As if swallowed by the fierce tiger, Shadow disappeared for a moment.

Next —

Boom!

Leaving a bewitching trail of blood in the air, Shadow hit the ground like a meteor and raised a cloud of dust.

Although he suffered such a heavy blow, but Xue Qilin doesn't think that he, as a great Heaven Realm master, would bite the dust from just this. As such, she flew into the air at once and prepared a spell.

Sure enough, Shadow burst out from the cloud of dust shortly after and shot into the distance. He is very fast. In the blink of an eye, he crossed a distance of nearly 10 zhang [1].

However, Xue Qilin does not intend to let him get away.

“Where do you thing you're going?”

A question came from above along with a sneer.

Shadow stopped at once, and then retreated briskly. A violent bolt of lightning struck the position he would have passed originally.

This was Xue Qilin's spell.

He turned and threw the dagger in his hand at the source of the voice.

However, even though it was faster than an arrow, the dagger still couldn't break through the lass's domain. Lightning wound around the dagger, and then the dagger stopped powerlessly not far away in front of the Xue Qilin, who is suspended in the air.

Shadow looked up at the night sky, and then the world in his eyes was filled by the red of fire.

“'Natural Disaster'…”

He mumbled these two words — the lass's nickname.

With her arms crossed, Xue Qilin is suspended in midair. There are electric arcs flashing beside her from time to time and a whirlpool of fire swirling rapidly behind her.

As if prepared to assault an army, there are dozens of flame spears neatly arranged on both sides of the lass, ready to go. With a command from Xue Qilin, they will rain down on Shadow at once.

“Shadow, I don't care what reasons you may have. But you were the first one to attack. In any case, let's tally the old and new grudges.”

Xue Qilin looked at Shadow from above with an emotionless shade in her gold eyes. The old grudge she mention refers to the assassination attempt on her life perpetrated by the Shadow Gate.

Shadow didn't respond, nor did he show any signs of movement.

Although Xue Qilin, who finds it strange that the other party is watching with folded hands, hesitated for a short moment, yet she still pointed at Shadow with her sword in the end.

“– turn into a shish kebab!”

A tongue of fire emanated from between the lass's lips and the flame spears poured down on Shadow.

In an instant, the light emanating from countless flames dispersed the dark of the night. As the flame spears bombarded the ground, rumbles sounded and clouds of dust and heat waves rose in succession. Shadow was instantly swallowed by the flames.

The ground shattered and rocks exploded — the track of land was ravaged again and again.

Whenever a flame spear was fired, a flame flowed out of the flame vortex and formed a new flame spear. Xue Qilin doesn't stint her strength in order to give Shadow a heavy blow at a stretch.

Under such a saturation attack, even the outwall of the imperial capital would turn into ashes in an instant.

The attack stopped abruptly.

Because Shadow's breath disappeared without warning from the lass's perception.

“He ran.”

Xue Qilin smacked her lips unwillingly, and the flames disappeared at once.

When everything turned tranquil once more, the ravaged corner of the courtyard entered everyone's eyes.

Numerous trees were turned into charcoal and many holes of different sizes were blasted into the the ground, which bore the brunt of the attack. The holes, which emit smoke and red light, are a shocking sight to behold.

However, as the lass said, there is no trace of Shadow in the courtyard.

It is unlikely for him to be killed by Xue Qilin's spell. After all, he has the strength of a great Heaven Realm master. He should have escaped under the cover of the confusion just now. Xue Qilin guessed secretly.

“You asshole are quite good at running! Otherwise, I would have turned you into a shish kabab and fed you to the dogs.”

Xue Qilin complained as she descended slowly.

[1] – 1 zhang = 3.3 meters / 11 feet
