It continued its ferocious assault toward Song Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a flick of its tail, it lashed out at Song Wen with immense force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Snap!\" A deafening impact echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen felt as though he had been struck by a massive hammer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His Ghost Head Shield shattered instantly, though the Spirit Bell Shield (Green Bell) managed to barely hold on.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the tremendous impact sent Song Wen spiraling out of balance. His body fell like a meteor from the sky, crashing heavily onto the stone platform in front of a cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ground cracked under the impact, scattering debris and rocks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Yixuan watched as Song Wen plummeted, a flash of surprise flickering in her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her greed for the Heavenly Spirit Pill momentarily slowed her down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to turn back and slay Song Wen, five third-tier wraiths emerged from the cave one after another.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These five wraiths, each grotesquely distorted and monstrous, resembled hybrids of various creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their twisted forms and ghastly faces looked like horrors clawed out of the depths of hell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wraiths opened their mouths to unleash furious roars, their piercing screeches akin to countless vengeful spirits wailing in unison. The sound was chillingly harrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Each howl directly attacked the depths of the soul, sending shockwaves through one's spiritual sea.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In front of Xing Yixuan hovered a pale, bone-like artifact radiating a dim white glow, casting an eerie light on her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This artifact, a soul defense treasure, was a lower-grade magical item. Although rare, it could not fully withstand the spiritual assaults of five third-tier wraiths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Yixuan felt as though her soul was being torn apart by the shrieking wails. The excruciating pain was like countless steel needles piercing her mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heartbeat quickened, her breath grew labored, and her trembling body betrayed her immense suffering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three of the five wraiths seized the opportunity to lunge at her. Each of these wraiths possessed late third-tier strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suppressing the pain, Xing Yixuan retreated swiftly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a transparent blade emerged from her forehead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade, only a few inches long, streaked through the air like lightning and pierced into the head of one of the wraiths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wraith's roar abruptly ceased. Its figure froze for a moment but did not collapse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Yixuan had only mastered the first layer of the Focused Spirit Stab, insufficient to kill a late third-tier wraith in one strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wraith's spectral body flickered for a brief moment before resuming its advance toward Xing Yixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, the ghostly mist in front of the cave churned violently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lie had arrived!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly grasped the situation at a glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a wave of the Wind Dragon Flag, a wall of wind formed before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then retreated explosively, withdrawing over thirty feet before coming to a stop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this distance, the wraiths' screeches exerted far less pressure on his spiritual sea, falling within a tolerable range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind wall conveniently blocked Xing Yixuan's retreat path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her face immediately filled with alarm as she shouted in fury:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jing Lie, what do you think you're doing?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hand over the Heavenly Spirit Pill, and I'll help you deal with these wraiths,\" Jing Lie declared loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Heavenly Spirit Pill isn't on me—it was taken by that rogue cultivator!\" she retorted angrily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Yixuan summoned the Flag of Waves, waving it vigorously. Several massive streams of water materialized abruptly, crisscrossing in midair.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water pillars, seemingly alive, danced under Xing Yixuan's control, blocking the wraiths' approach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her statement confirmed Jing Lie's earlier suspicions. He pressed further:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where did that rogue cultivator flee to?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By the time Jing Lie had arrived, Song Wen's figure was nowhere to be seen on the platform.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gritting her teeth against the excruciating pain in her spiritual sea, Xing Yixuan replied, \"He fled into the cave.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lie intensified the power of his Wind Dragon Flag, reinforcing the wind wall, and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Impossible. You, a peak Golden Core cultivator, struggle against the wraiths' spiritual assaults. How could someone at the early Golden Core stage escape their pursuit unscathed?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xing Yixuan responded, \"I don't know. Perhaps he possesses a soul-defense treasure capable of shielding him from the attacks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she spoke, another Focused Spirit Stab flew from the center of her forehead, targeting the already injured wraith.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wraith's soul body became even more ephemeral, its strength significantly diminished, reducing its threat to Xing Yixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lie's voice turned cold. \"If that's the case, then you can die here!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At his words, the wind wall abruptly collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A massive wind pillar surged through the layers of ghostly mist, roaring as it hurtled toward Xing Yixuan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her expression turned icy. Gritting her teeth, she growled, \"Jing Lie, I'll remember this grudge!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In both of her hands, she now held a Soul Severing Talisman.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two talismans shattered simultaneously, releasing two spiritual blades that locked onto separate wraiths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With two faint yet sharp sounds, the targeted wraiths froze mid-roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their bodies convulsed violently before their soul forms suddenly exploded into countless fragments, scattering in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of the three wraiths pursuing Xing Yixuan, two were killed outright, and the remaining one, injured, fled toward the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While slaying the two wraiths, Xing Yixuan acted swiftly. Channeling her Flag of Waves, she conjured a towering water wall several zhang high behind her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The incoming wind pillar, roaring like a dragon, collided with the water wall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the moment of impact, an earsplitting explosion rang out, as if the heavens and earth trembled under the force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boom!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The water wall burst apart, scattering countless droplets in all directions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wind pillar gradually dissipated, vanishing into nothingness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lie's expression shifted unpredictably. He clearly hadn't anticipated Xing Yixuan possessing two Soul Severing Talismans, allowing her to emerge unscathed despite being caught between his attacks and the wraiths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Jing Lie, die!\" Xing Yixuan roared furiously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Waving her Flag of Waves, she channeled her power to summon a massive water dragon over thirty zhang long, which lunged at Jing Lie.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lie glanced reluctantly toward the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His wind-based spells offered little advantage against the wraiths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Song Wen now inside the cave, and numerous wraiths lurking within, he knew venturing in was not an option.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Making a swift decision, Jing Lie's figure flickered as he retreated rapidly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, a wind wall formed behind him, blocking the water dragon and buying him precious time to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Jing Lie's silhouette vanished into the ghostly mist, Xing Yixuan made no move to pursue him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jing Lie's strength and mastery of wind techniques made him exceptionally fast, and catching him would be nearly impossible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned her gaze toward the dark, foreboding cave, positioning herself at its entrance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To Xing Yixuan, the cave undoubtedly housed numerous wraiths. Even if Song Wen possessed a soul-defense treasure, he would not last long against the relentless spiritual assaults.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was only a matter of time before he was forced to flee from the cave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She merely needed to bide her time outside, waiting for Song Wen to walk into her trap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When that moment came, she would kill him in one swift strike. The Heavenly Spirit Pill and the many secret arts in his possession would naturally fall into her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>(End of the Chapter)\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>---\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read (RDC) on Pa.treon@CinderTL-c646.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Early Access at $5.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Translated (5) Series, (2K+) Chapters, (2.5M+) Words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>🎁If I can get5 ReviewsonWebNovelandScribbleHubCombined, I'll do amass release.
