Phoenix Destiny

Chapter 180: This is True Ability

Translator: xiiannie Editor: adeadaxe

The first harpy’s fist twinkled in the air, and the stone hatchet created a surging energy wave, aiming for Kou Wei.

“1, retreat to Thunder!”

Kou Wei transformed into a dot as the five dragons swept him up and moved him through the air. The next minute, he was at the Thunder position.

“Joint attack!”

As soon as Lu Mingshu gave the command, they all rushed up to attack.

Wei Chunqiu’s sword-energy reached first. The lotus-like sword-energy hit the second harpy straight on. Lu Mingshu followed behind Wei Chunqiu, but her sword-energy was delayed behind Wei Chunqiu’s, so her attack arrived right when the harpy counterattacked.

Lastly, it was Kou Wei’s turn. The second harpy’s stone hatchet struck Wei Chunqiu’s sword-energy, and the shockwave forced Lu Mingshu to retreat. Before the second harpy could do anything else though, Kou Wei’s water dragons arrived.

The first and third harpy turned around immediately to block Kou Wei’s water dragons.

“2, defend!”

Wei Chunqiu pulled away and waved his sword at the two harpies.

Lu Mingshu was behind him by a second. Both attacks were like connected waves, surging up violently.

Whoosh!

In between the sword-light, the second harpy was struck by a water dragon. Kou Wei waved his fan, and a golden ray of light appeared. Suddenly, the water dragons turned into an icy spike!

The second harpy’s move became sluggish due to the attacks, and he didn’t know what to do.

Cheers could be heard.

“Strike, strike!”

“Well combined attack!”

“Wei Chunqiu and Lu Mingshu are in charge of stalling them, and Kou Wei is the main person attacking. Smart!”

“Hahaha, that’s right, little barbarians. What makes you think that you have the brains to fight us?”

However, Lu Mingshu didn’t feel a sense of happiness. This was just the start; there was still a lot more work to do to defeat the barbarians.

“1 to Water and 2 to Heaven!”

Lu Mingshu attacked once more and shouted, “1, attack!”

The icy spike suddenly rose.

“2, cut.” The sword slashed down, cutting off the connection between the first harpy and the second harpy.

Since the second harpy was attacked by Kou Wei, he couldn’t keep up with the tempo, and he became slower by half a beat.

Lu Mingshu dodged the third harpy’s energy wave.

Mystic energy was the harpies’ weakest point, which caused their attacks to be rather slow. As long as one could dodge the energy wave, they would be fine.

Lu Mingshu called out for Wei Chunqiu to attack again even before his previous attack finished.

“2, change attack.”

Basically, Wei Chunqiu changed his sword stance and combined with Kou Wei’s ice spike.

Lu Mingshu launched an attack and diverted the first harpy’s attack. Wei Chunqiu and Kou Wei then took the chance to break the coordination between the second and third harpies.

Such a great chance!

“2 to Wind and continuous attack!”

In no time, the tables were turned. The second harpy was like a displaced gear, and now he was out of the coordination between the harpies.

This unforeseen circumstance stunned the crowd.

“...that’s fantastic!” After a while, a disciple gasped.

“Yeah, it seems like nothing special at first, but...”

He scratched his head in fascination and turned toward the stage once again. Everything was good now. After Lu Mingshu took control, the trio found their tempo and took control of the match.

“I didn’t expect Lu Mingshu to be this capable!”

“Yes! Actually, even in the previous matches, her strength could already be seen,” a disciple analyzed. “She’s still weak in terms of actual ability, but because of her accuracy, she managed to find the right time to use her spiritual tool. If she wasn’t so precise, she would have lost to Kou Wei as soon as the match started.”

“You’re right. It’s obvious even from the match with Wei Chunqiu. She’s not skilled in terms of speed, but she was still able to keep up with his tempo because of how observant and precise she is.”

“It’s kind of scary that she’s just a Harmonization Realm newbie....”

This coordination changed many perceptions of Lu Mingshu. Those who had already seen potential in her were now surprised with her precision, and the others could no longer say anything bad about her.

The facts were right in front of them. If she didn’t have the ability, Kou Wei and Wei Chunqiu would never have let her lead. As soon as she took over, the match went a lot smoother.

“Oh no!” a disciple suddenly exclaimed.

The three harpies were starting to get annoyed at the fact that some humans were going to overpower them. With a roar, the harpies prepared to mount a joint attack. They dash toward one of them and ignored the other two.

And their target was Lu Mingshu!

The three harpies looked at Lu Mingshu with hatred. It’s all because of her! She kept running her mouth and now we’re losing! They chose to target her because the harpies could tell that she was the key factor, and they also wanted to vent their anger on her.

Irritating! Let’s just deal with her first!

Energy waves gushed up to the sky like blood.

Wei Chunqiu and Kou Wei turned pale with fright upon seeing this scene. “Be careful!”

Lu Mingshu looked up. The red light was shining brightly due to the exciting of blood vessels, and it reflected in her eyes. She twitched her wrist and drew out a sword flower.

“Get ready for a joint attack.”

The two Wei’s looked at each other and hesitated.

This was a perfect chance. The harpies’ attention was now on Lu Mingshu; they could take control now, they would surely win.

Wei Chunqiu and Kou Wei exchanged a glance. Wei Chunqiu snapped his fingers, and his secret skill appeared in his palm.

Kou Wei nodded to signal that he was prepared as well.

Mystic force surged out of Lu Mingshu’s body. The mild golden mystic light reflected on Lu Mingshu’s ice-cold face, and the energy wave caused her sleeves to rise. It was obvious how small Lu Mingshu’s body was, but she was still standing straight and upright.

When the bloody light and mystic light clashed, she abruptly activated her sword stance. Lu Mingshu leapt up into the sky, and a mysterious expression flashed past her eyes. The spiritual tool was thrown, and the light from the talisman wrapped around her sword energy and moved out in a crisscrossed direction across the stage.

The sword energy hovered around the stage and covered it as a sea of bloody light swallowed Lu Mingshu.

Cries of alarm and surprise could be heard. Many covered their eyes in fright to avoid the bloody scene.

But the bloody scene that they expected didn’t happen. The only thing they saw was that Lu Mingshu floated up from the sea of bloody light.

“What can she do now?” A disciple was like a cat on hot bricks now. “The harpies are so strong. Will she be torn to shreds?”

“Can’t she just... take it easy? Why does she want to risk her life?”

“Well, she did that to take first place too.”

Unconsciously, the comments on Lu Mingshu had become less harsh. After she reversed the match, she had proven her ability. Even though she was in danger now, the harshest comment she received was that she was too impulsive. Nobody dared to truly criticize her again.

“Eh, it doesn’t seem like it. Look!” Somebody realized something on stage was out of place.

All they could see was the bloody light enveloping the stage and the continuous energy wave. Lu Mingshu could be seen floating in the mist as if she was stuck between them, but she was just firmly floating there by herself.

There was sword-light surrounding her, along with mild golden light. Floating bloody light, weaving a crisscrossed web.

“She didn’t get swallowed up!”

“Look at that, it’s a talisman!”

Using her sword as a medium to get the talisman light out of the spiritual tool. This was exactly what she did during the match against Kou Wei. The crowd looked at the stage with anticipation. Can she use the same method to control the harpies now?

Many gasped in amazement. “How did she achieve this?”

It was unbelievable. The bloody light created by exciting the blood vessels extended into the distance. She is being enveloped by the sea of bloody light, so why is she still okay?

“Tempo. Gap,” Xie Lianzhen whispered to himself.

These three harpies may look like they were now an integrated whole, but they were not the same person to start with, so there would definitely be a gap. Once it was found, their lack of unity would only pull them down.

Now!

Wei Chunqiu raised his sword and smeared something on it. A light flashed and exploded into a powerful sword stance.

At the same time, the temperature suddenly fell as the area was covered in snow!
