Chapter 1476: Resonant Quaking

Even so, Feng Xian glided forward, somersaulted in the air, and whipped her legs toward his head.

Zhang Lie defended himself with crossed arms. Feng Xian\'s forehead glowed. A ball of golden energy could be seen within, almost like a fireball.

Zhang Lie\'s temples throbbed in pain again. He stumbled but didn\'t let go, allowing the attack to wash over him until her mental energy gave out.

Zhang Lie clawed at Feng Xian\'s body again, but sparks flew where he struck her, accompanied by a metallic clang. This was no mortal body of flesh and blood.

Feng Xian\'s body glowed with light as though it were a holy raiment, blocking Zhang Lie\'s attack.

Zhang Lie frowned. What sort of technique was this that would allow a mortal being to possess such supernatural defenses?

Zhang Lie attempted to strike her again, but it was useless.

Feng Xian drew a divine blade scintillating with light. The edge was keen and incredibly sharp. She made to behead Zhang Lie.

Feng Xian struck at her opponent cruelly as Zhang Lie drew Guicang to defend himself. The two slashes tore apart the heavens as they collided with each other. Shockwaves of energy rippled from the point of impact.

Feng Xian glowed with light as her sword\'s strength magnified, destabilizing the space all around her.

Zhang Lie\'s surroundings lit up with starlight as pitch-black genetic energy dispersed, blocking Feng Xian\'s blade.

Feng Xian recoiled in shock, retrieving her blade with some difficulty before launching yet another mental attack, poised to split Zhang Lie\'s head open.

"[The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave]!"

Zhang Lie manifested a sword will that rose into the heavens, strong beyond human understanding, vast as the ocean.

The sun glowed with splendor. Golden runes patterned the air. Starlight shone through the heavens.

His surroundings, consecrated with the might of a golden sun, resplendent and blazing, was so bright that the spectators had to look away.

The spectators found their souls trembling.

Heaven and earth resonated with the will of the sword and obliterated Feng Xian\'s attack. Zhang Lie\'s sword will continued toward her, undeterred.

"Open!"

Feng Xian whispered. Motes of light formed a small, fist-sized replica of her that gave off a frightening aura and shocked all spectators.

Her mental strength had reached the point where she could manifest an eidolon in reality that could strike at Zhang Lie.

Zhang Lie was taken aback. His opponent\'s mental strength was beyond compare. At close range, she could easily take down another cultivator with just the effect of her mind.

With mental strength alone, she was able to combat [The Boundless Blade: Yawning Wave].

The wave crested and broke around her—not a real wave, but rather a condensed form of genetic energy.

Zhang Lie was forced to take this fight seriously for the first time.

Feng Xian was truly strong, far stronger than she had been during their first encounter. Not only was her physical body unassailable, she possessed tremendous mental strength

which she could even transform into weapons— a sword one moment, a lance the next, indestructible and unbelievably sharp.

Zhang Lie himself was feeling pressured.

"Break!"

Zhang Lie raised the blade in his hand high into the air, encircled by black genetic energy.

"[The Boundless Blade: the River Lethe]!"

The temperature dropped to sub-zero values, and a strong wind buffeted the battlefield. Blood-colored frost appeared around the two combatants.

A stellar river materialized in the air. As though the doors to hell had just been thrown open, tens of thousands of serpents rushed out in a flood.

Each serpent was pitch-black like the abyss, like the dark of night, and speckled with starlight, a miniaturized version of the Milky Way. The serpents were guides and ferrymen both, leading departed souls into sky and space, freed from the mortal coil.

Zhang Lie\'s sword swung down, causing a stellar river to descend onto the mortal realm. Countless black serpents tore Feng Xian\'s mental weaponry apart in a crack of lightning.

Feng Xian\'s eidolon sent a golden cauldron brimming with light smashing into the stellar river, which whirled around Feng Xian.

Within moments, the netherworld serpents swallowed her up and entered her body through her mouth, nose, and skin.

Strong though Feng Xian was, her defenses didn\'t extend throughout her body. Her face and neck, for instance, were exposed to the surroundings.

"Die!" Feng Xian thundered, enraged. An explosion of mental strength forced all the serpents out of her body, but at significant cost. Weakened, she was forced to retreat and to reabsorb her eidolon within herself.

Her eyes cold, she glared at the reviled, shameless opponent standing before her.

Feng Xian scowled.

She thought that she had seized tremendous opportunities from this mental world, that the mental evolution she had undergone after consuming a bug emperor would allow her to take on Zhang Lie, but that didn\'t turn out to be the case. Even before she could force Zhang Lie to make use of his trump cards, she was unable to keep fighting.

Zhang Lie said, "Don\'t keep staring at me like that. I know you\'re interested in me, but I\'m taken. Sorry, you\'re not my type."

Upon hearing Zhang Lie\'s words, Feng Xian grew so mad that she almost continued attacking him. What do you mean, I\'m not your type? As if I\'m inferior—I\'m a genius of Starbright Academy, supremely talented and beautiful! Who cares if you don\'t like me? Plenty would be happy to have me look in their direction! How shameless could you get?!
