Chapter 279 "Blazing Lotus Ascends!"
Chapter 279 "Blazing Lotus Ascends!"
The dust and dirt flew up and clung to the smooth prayer beads, making them seem as if they had fallen into the mortal world.
Jiang He had a hunched back, but she straightened her waist slightly.
This lightning-elemental staff was a temporary one she found; it was already broken after one use. She took out the Xuan Tie sword without the slightest hesitation.
The wind was all around, and the wind spirit energy permeated Jiang He's side. As soon as her sword touched Kong Ji, a golden light suddenly appeared on Kong Ji's body.
The black sword collided with the light and was bounced back. Jiang He stepped back with her right foot to steady herself.
She was holding a sword, reciting the sword technique she had gleaned from the fire-elemental stone tablet of the Jiang family—
"Blazing Lotus Rising!"
Jiang He gripped the sword with both hands, and in a moment, the fire element from the mountains and forests condensed on the sword.
The gathered fire transformed into a blooming fire lotus!
With each swing of Jiang He's Xuan Tie sword, the fiery lotus on the sword swayed in the wind.
Jiang He swung his sword downwards, and the fiery lotus flower burst into intense crimson flames the moment it touched the empty golden light barrier.
Kongji suddenly noticed the temperature rising beside him, and he bent down to pick up the Buddhist prayer beads on the ground.
The intense heat broke through the golden shield and reached Kongji's body.
The fire lotus burned Kong Ji's back with its extremely high temperature in a short period of time.
Emptiness protected the vital parts with golden light.
Jiang He acted swiftly, and with a few sword strikes, the fire lotus passed through the empty body.
Long Aotian followed closely behind Jiang He, delivering the finishing blow.
Kong Ji possessed powerful defensive capabilities, and with his head lowered, the smile in his eyes was impossible to discern.
Two Golden Core stage cultivators—Wanjue Academy is truly a place where hidden talents abound.
Kongji waved his sleeve, revealing numerous sword wounds of varying sizes on his body.
Jiang He's sword-wielding posture was swift and clean; no matter how Kong Ji tried to dodge, he still took several blows.
After Kongji had picked up all the prayer beads, he covered his wounds and suddenly threw them all away.
Only then did Jiang He see the true nature of these Buddhist beads:
"It's a small bullet, take cover!"
When the prayer beads were thrown from the void, they were impacted, and their internal structure changed from a stable state to an unstable bomb.
The bombs were deployed first; a plume of smoke slowly rose, blocking the road through the forest, and then several powerful explosions erupted in the woods.
Before the smoke disappeared, Jiang He quickly assessed Kong Ji's direction and plunged her sword into Kong Ji's chest.
He felt a sword strike his empty lungs, making it difficult to breathe. He tried to break the sword with two fingers, but Jiang He's sword was incredibly hard.
Kongji retreated repeatedly, his chest gradually separating from the sword.
It was this massive explosion that, by the time the smoke cleared, the empty spot was long gone.
"Escaped."
Shangguan Linghu felt a little regretful. Kongji had finally managed to find someone, but unexpectedly, he still managed to get away.
Jiang He was relatively calm; she stabbed herself several times with a sword coated in poison.
The venom of the killer scorpion is no joke.
Even if one leaves in solitude, there is still medicine available, but the poisoning will cause extreme pain.
Jiang He glanced at the injuries on her body, and they canceled each other out.
Not a loss.
From the moment Ye Qing began her collaboration with Wanjue Academy, she was completely led by Shangguan Linghu.
At this moment, she was hanging behind Shangguan Linghu, like a human-shaped pendant of Shangguan Linghu.
Kongji fled, Ling Qing suffered more than half its casualties, while no one on their side died, just as Jiang He had said.
Ye Qing's lips curled into a wide smile as she eliminated the cultivators from Lingqing Academy without sustaining any damage.
So this is what it feels like to be carried by a pro? It's so awesome!
Ye Qing walked over from behind Shangguan Linghu and joined Jiang He in cleaning up the battlefield.
A lot of equipment was lying on the ground, all of which were dropped by Ling Qing.
Neither academy had any cultivators eliminated, so everyone fought with extra caution, since they had used up almost all their pills and medical supplies while fighting Liuyun.
Seeing Jiang He picking up equipment this time, netizens no longer said that Jiang He was picking up trash. They saw that these equipment were very useful. They could be used to set up traps to block the monster tide, or they could be replaced.
There were many comments on the screen about the fight between Jiang He and Kong Ji. Most netizens came in expecting Jiang He to be brutally beaten by Kong Ji's Golden Cage, but they found something was wrong as they watched.
Jiang He not only ruthlessly broke free from the cage, but also cooperated with Long Aotian to almost kill Kong Ji.
This battle was full of twists and turns, and the fight scenes were thrilling to watch.
The fact that two Golden Core cultivators could defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator was surprising. It was thought that Jiang He's victory over Shangguan Ningxue, who was at a higher level, was just good luck.
Now that netizens have truly witnessed the damage inflicted on the two individuals, they suddenly feel that it would be normal for either of them to fight against cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage again, regardless of their level.
[Jiang He and Long Aotian's skills are so strong, even Kong Ji is no match for them.]
No, Kongji didn't escape. With so many cultivators fighting one person, of course Kongji couldn't win.
What an exciting battle! Wanjue Academy is truly dominant this year. They've racked up so many kills! They just finished off 48 of Liuyun's players, and now they've probably taken another thirty or so. Just based on kills, they've already accumulated eight thousand points. If this continues, Wanjue Academy will immediately reclaim the top spot.
I remember the empty golden cage was one of his signature moves. Jiang He is really ruthless; she managed to squeeze out like that. I saw the flesh on her back was falling off. Does anyone know what that means? I was terrified when I saw it.
I've met several Buddhist practitioners; they all look like gentle, weak monks, but they're actually incredibly powerful. The moment they pick up their prayer beads, I feel like I'm already dead.
Ah, isn't it supposed to be the Buddha's mercy? It's so terrifying!
So, Jiang He is ruthless not only to others but also to herself. I remember when she disguised herself as Fei Lian, she used a self-inflicted injury ruse, causing Shangguan Linghu to slash her flesh, cutting her flesh in half.
I remember you saying that too. Jiang He's vitality is truly tenacious. She was stabbed here, and then she was trapped in that cage. You could even see her bones.
Putting everything else aside, Jiang He is incredibly resilient; she's still alive after all that. If it were me, I would have been in unbearable pain by now.
So with this wave of points, we should be able to surpass Lingqing Academy, right?
No, look! Lingqing Academy has acquired an S-rank monster! Holy crap!
:!? What? An S-rank monster?
It still has to be Ling Qing.
What score is an S-rank monster again?
Five thousand points, bro! Getting those five thousand points at Lingqing Academy is a sure thing.
S-grade crystal cores can be used to exchange for resources, far exceeding 5,000 points. Ling Qing is truly amazing!

Viewers who were originally watching Jiang He's live stream flocked to Ling Qing Academy's live stream section after learning that Ling Qing Academy had captured an S-rank monster.
Wanqi Ziye jumped off the ice and washed off the monster slime that had gotten on his body.
Li Songcheng stood there casually:
"Don't be so fastidious. This is just a thing, not reality."
