Chapter 249
Those blood lotuses instantly attacked the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow and quickly exploded in a short time. Blossoms of blood flowers filled the sky, almost obscuring one’s vision.
Even though the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow flew high enough and saw so many blood lotuses attacking at the same time, intending to resist, the blood lotuses were extremely shameless and started exploding before they even got close.
It could be said that there was no need to dodge at all; with the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow as the center, almost everything was within the attack range of the blood lotuses.
The Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow raised its head, let out a cry, and directly fanned out a tornado.
The tornado was imposing, carrying a world-destroying momentum. It instantly swept all the blood lotuses together and attacked Yizhuyue, so fast that only an afterimage could be seen.
Seeing this situation, Yizhuyue couldn’t continue releasing blood lotuses either and hurriedly dodged the attacks.
While dodging, she didn’t forget to release blood lotuses. However, she changed from dancing in place to dancing while walking, like a bewildered butterfly, adding a bit more agility and beauty.
But her moves carried a strong killing intent, making people apprehensive.
The two fought back and forth like this for several rounds, and for a while, it was actually difficult to determine the winner.
The Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow had also figured out Yizhuyue’s attack pattern. All of her current output relied on that bell, and only at long range could its power be maximized. At close range, she had almost no defensive capabilities.
Once at close range, Yizhuyue wouldn’t even dare to release blood lotuses. After all, the blood lotuses didn’t differentiate between friend and foe; they were simply indiscriminate attacks.
She knew the dangers of the blood lotuses, so naturally, she wouldn’t risk her own life.
The Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow, having grasped this loophole, immediately flapped its wings and charged towards Yizhuyue.
Yizhuyue sensed the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow’s intention and quickly retreated.
As she retreated, she also used the bell to release countless blood lotuses to prevent the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow from getting close.
Under her bombardment, the two maintained a close distance, and the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow never had a chance to get close to her, only able to chase after her awkwardly.
Even because of the high speed, some blood lotuses had left small wounds on her body.
“What should we do?”
Green Vine watched from the side with fear and trepidation, her beautiful eyes filled with helplessness.
Su Chen watched this scene quietly. Although the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow was powerful, it was still somewhat inferior compared to Yizhuyue.
On the surface, the two seemed evenly matched, but the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow was not very good at long-range combat.
The two were essentially fighting with one at an advantage and the other at a disadvantage.
Because of their fight, the entire Azure Cloud Alliance’s sky had changed color, becoming blood-red, accompanied by strong winds and occasional flashes of lightning. Just looking at it was shocking.
A few Azure Cloud Alliance disciples were affected by the battle and vomited blood, dying. The power of a Great Emperor, even just the aftermath, was not something that these low-level cultivators could withstand.
“This won’t do.”
Su Chen said quietly, narrowing his eyes, staring intently at the scene of the two fighting.
The Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow had to win this battle; otherwise, let alone Green Vine being forced by Shi Zhengxiong, even his own life would be in danger today!
Shi Zhengxiong, who was above the clouds, also watched the two fight nervously. As the Alliance Leader, he naturally knew what kind of existence the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow was.
To be the Su Family’s guardian beast, it must have lived for at least a million years. Its strength naturally went without saying.
Although that Yizhuyue seemed to have strong cultivation, she was still young and impetuous, and there were many areas where she couldn’t fully utilize her abilities.
For a while, it was really uncertain who would win or lose.
“We have to find a way to get the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow close to Yizhuyue. Otherwise, if this wheel battle continues, the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow will eventually be defeated.”
Su Chen said in a deep voice, clenching his teeth tightly.
He was still a long way from the Quasi-Emperor Realm, and the pressure from the two fighting was not something he could withstand at his current level.
Now he could only stand here and watch anxiously, unable to help at all.
✿✿✿
These words inspired Green Vine.
Since the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow couldn’t catch up to Yizhuyue in a short time, she could just find a way to interfere with Yizhuyue, right?
Thinking of this, Green Vine stared intently at the situation above. Taking advantage of Yizhuyue’s full attention being on dealing with the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow, she immediately released her vines.
The vines grew silently and wantonly, each as thick as an adult’s forearm.
They madly extended upwards, approaching Yizhuyue.
By the time Yizhuyue noticed these vines, they had already reached her.
Her heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously wanted to dodge, but the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow’s hurricane had also reached her.
Under the fierce wind, her movement speed was greatly reduced.
In just a few seconds of distraction, Green Vine’s vines had already wrapped around her, tightly binding her.
Yizhuyue subconsciously cast a spell to break free, but these vines had almost exhausted all of Green Vine’s strength.
As a Peak Quasi-Emperor, her full-strength vines were not so easy to break free from.
Yizhuyue spent a lot of time, and when she finally got rid of those annoying vines, the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow had already transformed into human form and arrived in front of her.
Yizhuyue subconsciously shook the bell to charm the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow, wanting to buy herself some time to escape.
But the Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow had already blocked her hearing when she discovered that her bell had a charming effect.
Therefore, she was not affected at all and directly slapped Yizhuyue’s chest with a heavy claw.
Yizhuyue couldn’t dodge in time, clutched her chest, and coughed up a mouthful of blood.
The Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow seized the opportunity to press her advantage, quickly summoning a strong wind that attacked Yizhuyue.
Yizhuyue couldn’t dodge in time and staggered for a long time before stabilizing her body.
“You actually played dirty.”
Yizhuyue looked indignantly in Green Vine’s direction, her amber eyes filled with killing intent.
“You dare to get distracted while fighting me.”
The Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow snorted coldly, her five fingers forming claws as she grabbed towards Yizhuyue’s face.
Yizhuyue hurriedly retreated, quickly shaking the bell to summon blood lotuses.
Because she was afraid of accidentally injuring herself, this time there were only a few scattered ones.
The Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow wasn’t afraid of the rain-like blood lotuses before, and she wouldn’t be afraid of these few blood lotuses now.
Her speed didn’t slow down at all. She forcefully took the attack of these few blood lotuses and, with lightning speed, took out the Immortal Binding Rope and tied up Yizhuyue.
Yizhuyue’s pupils constricted. That Immortal Binding Rope could even bind those who had ascended, rendering them unable to fight back, let alone herself, who was only a Half-Step Great Emperor.
She dodged in a panic, but it was useless. In the end, she was still defeated by the experienced Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow and tied up.
The Nine Netherworld Dark Sparrow threw the tightly bound Yizhuyue to Su Chen and nodded in acknowledgment.
