From the Heavens Descended an Immortal Sister

Chapter 270: Chapter 365: Life is Yet Another Performance_1

As time passed, the battle in the sky became increasingly fierce, with a steady stream of armies incessantly joining the fray, piling on the pressure for Jiang Ling.

The lowest realm of these soldiers was the Azure Sky Realm, and there were a total of twenty-one experts in the middle phase of the Xuan Yang Realm! Each one a veteran of a hundred battles! Coupled with various large formations' enhancement and the assistance of elixirs, even two ninth-order Void Beasts would probably not last more than a few minutes.

At this moment, the ground was littered with piles of corpses, and Jiang Ling regretfully had not exerted her full strength against the weaker soldiers because she had not forgotten her original intention to kill those in the Central Area and change the current marriage rules for cultivators.

These soldiers were the main fighting force of humanity against the Void, so she naturally couldn't kill too many of them, but rather focused her attacks on certain stubborn clan heads.

During the battle, Jiang Ling also tried to avoid harming the female soldiers of the Nine Heavens Corps; after all, they were under Mu Huanqing's command. At most, Jiang Ling would inflict serious injuries on them without taking their lives.

And precisely because there were so many, she didn't unleash her full power, making it seem as if she was at a disadvantage as the situation progressed.

"She's starting to weaken! Increase the offensive! Exhaust her to death!"

Seeing this, a group of Xuan Yang Realm experts intensified their attacks even more, each seeming to see the dawn of victory.

"Jiang Ling! Today you killed the younger generation of my Fang Family! I will make you pay with blood for blood!"

Seeing this, Fang Ye no longer hid behind a group of experts; he ran to the front and lashed out at Jiang Ling with a palm. Although the strike was futile, it at least showed his rage over Fang Ren's death.

Whiz—

A streak of black light struck, and Fang Ye, who had just advanced to attack, felt a chill in his arm followed by an immediate retreat, clutching his severed limb, full of regret.

This damn moment of showing off had disastrously backfired on him!

Seeing his severed limb, Fang Ye immediately started shouting as he flew to a far spot on the ground, fell there, clenched his teeth, and closed his eyes in struggle, as if his entire being was about to perish.

In reality, Jiang Ling's slash wasn't aimed at him at all; it was merely the energy fluctuations that had severed his arm. Moreover, such a wound was nothing for an expert at the pinnacle of the Yingyue Realm; at most, it caused momentary pain.

The reason Fang Ye's expression was so exaggerated was simply that he had embarked on another path of pretense—since he couldn't pretend to be a strong warrior, why not feign complete uselessness?

After all, that Jiang Ling would ultimately die, and Fang Ren's death at Jiang Ling's hands exhilarated Fang Ye.

What thrilled him even more was that today, Jiang Ling had to die, as he had finally confirmed that the breakthrough to the Xuanyang realm a few days ago had not been Mu Huanqing but this Jiang Ling.

Thus, Mu Huanqing's frantic descent to this place, creating such a commotion, also had a very reasonable explanation.

Although it was uncertain whether the child had been born or not, one thing was clear: Mu Huanqing wasn't truly trying to kill her, but was finding a way to help her out of the predicament.

Jiang Ling felt helpless and could only keep playing along with Mu Huanqing's script.

"Mu Huanqing! I never expected you to be able to save him from my curse!" Jiang Ling spouted nonsense. She didn't know what curse she was talking about.

A surge of energy welled up in her, pushing back the group of generals around her, and with True Qi swirling around her Black Knife, she launched an attack towards Mu Huanqing.

With a face full of rage, Mu Huanqing tossed Fang Ren to a female warrior of the Nine Heavens Corps and charged towards Jiang Ling.

Boom boom boom——

In an instant, the two top-tier combatants clashed, leaving the surrounding soldiers with no chance to intervene, only able to maintain the Arrays suppressing Jiang Ling from the periphery.

In the midst of the fight, Jiang Ling did not use her full strength, and Mu Huanqing didn't employ her most powerful formations. They fought chaotically while moving about.

They advanced from the sky above the guesthouse directly into an Array, and without a word, Mu Huanqing broke through the Array suppressing Jiang Ling. The onlookers, thinking that Madame Xuan had lost her advantage against Jiang Ling of the Yingyue Realm, did not think too much of it.

However, after a short while of fighting, Mu Huanqing and Jiang Ling had already broken half of the camp's Arrays meant for suppression. Jiang Ling could have easily escaped unobstructed.

Yet, to make the act seem more real, Jiang Ling deliberately allowed Mu Huanqing to slash her arm and then feigned shock, looking at Mu Huanqing, "You... how can you possess the strength of the Yingyue Realm!"

"Enough talk!"

Not being one for acting, Mu Huanqing could only roar angrily and continue attacking Jiang Ling with her Silver Long Spear.

The surrounding generals, seeing Madame Xuan gaining the upper hand, immediately formed a stronger suppression ring.

A hint of fear appeared on Jiang Ling's face. She then slapped Mu Huanqing and turned to rush towards the weakest part of the Formation.

"Don't even think about escaping!"

Mu Huanqing's True Qi surged throughout her body as she chased after her.

Their power levels being so high, they easily smashed through the weakest part of the camp, turning into two streaks of light that vanished into the sky.
