The Fairy: From the Traveling Merchant

Chapter 942 "Reunion"

"A child? No... it's the 'pillar of fire' attack itself!"
"It's not a person!"

A flash of blue light appeared in Su Xuanbing's eyes, and he immediately learned the other party's background and how he had fallen into the trap.

The reason why her "Burning Rainbow" failed to annihilate the attack and was even invaded by a trace of "destructive intent" was because the thing that looked like a red-haired child had already "clung" to her body without her noticing the moment before it touched her spear.

However, as soon as she realized the truth, Su Xuanbing couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood, and her whole body shrunk back to the size of a normal woman.

This means that as a martial arts practitioner, she suffered a severe injury that would be difficult to recover from in a short period of time!
In fact, although the tall and strong warrior's mountain fist was powerful and fierce, even shattering Su Xuanbing's armor and three heads and six arms, it was not enough to shake her "lotus fairy body". The reason why it could achieve such an effect was that the "volcano" imagery contained in the fist detonated the "destruction" intent that had previously invaded Su Xuanbing's body.

This not only severely damaged the inner world of this "Mysterious Ice and Fire Lotus," but also damaged her foundation, making it impossible for her to use the "Lotus Immortal Body" for a short period of time.

It's similar to Zheng Qingyan's state when she was first enlightened by Fei Meng into becoming her "incarnation".

Having suffered such a great loss, Su Xuanbing was not about to let the "red-haired child" go. Flames burst forth from the spear in her hand, instantly turning into torches that ignited the boy's entire body.

This is one of her deadly moves, called "Emptiness of Ten Thousand Prisons," meaning "the lingering red lotus of ten thousand prisons is empty." It was supposed to transform into a sky full of flames, burning away all sins, and the moment the spear was drawn, it would be hell on earth...

However, due to his severe injuries, Su Xuanbing could no longer maintain such a large attack range.

However, the area was not large, so the power was not reduced by much!
As a martial artist who cultivates the "Battle Technique," Su Xuanbing would only become more ferocious after being injured, without considering whether such a forceful attack would worsen his injuries.

"what!"

The red-haired child's vision turned red, and he immediately felt pain all over his body. His clothes melted away, and he screamed as he fell to the ground from mid-air. He was dizzy from the fall, and flames rose several feet high from his body.

If it weren't for its special origin and high resistance to fire, it would probably have been burned to ashes by now, just like that short warrior.

Yes, even though Su Xuanbing's "Lotus Immortal Body" was broken, the "Fire Lotus" she created still did not go out and continued to relentlessly pursue the short warrior.

After struggling with him for a while, the man was ultimately unable to escape and died.

Among the top experts in this siege, two warriors died one after another, the priestess bled from all seven orifices and her life was unknown, and the priest's trump card, the "red-haired child," was also struggling to survive. It seemed that Su Xuanbing had gained an absolute advantage, but the battle-hardened female general knew very well that she was actually at her limit, while the enemy still had four fully-fledged "ninjas" at the supernatural level.

At her peak, she naturally didn't take those four ninjas seriously, but after unleashing that move "Ten Thousand Prisons Void," she was on the verge of falling from grace. Those four ninjas didn't even need to fight her head-on; they could wear her down simply by constantly harassing her.

"Fortunately, only one priest with the Refinement of Aperture cultivation level is left to guard the 'Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation'..." While Su Xuanbing was thinking, her hands kept moving. She used her flaming spear to disperse the wind blades created by a ninja. Then she took out a small vermilion gourd from her storage bag.

This is her protective magic weapon, the "Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder Gourd".

Since she had not yet crossed the third step of the supernatural realm, she could not unleash the full power of her magic weapon. It was of no use against the complete "Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation" presided over by a supernatural cultivator, which is why she did not take it out at the beginning.

But now, we have no choice but to rely on it to gain a chance of survival.

After all, no matter how special that priest at the Refining Aperture level was, his low cultivation level made it difficult for him to make the entire formation operate perfectly, and there would always be flaws.

Su Xuanbing's eyes are also very good at spotting flaws!
As for the four ninjas, they were actually quite afraid of Su Xuanbing because of their previous experience of being crushed. However, after their probing attack just now, they found that she was only passively parrying and not fighting back, which made them bolder.

The four worked in perfect harmony, each unleashing their most proficient ninjutsu: one used poison, another fired guns, another breathed fire, and yet another created fireballs… In short, they harassed Su Xuanbing from a distance, avoiding close combat. To be fair, while these ninjas could barely be considered at the level of supernatural powers, the power of their attacks was negligible. Previously, Su Xuanbing could have easily obliterated them with a single shout.

Even now, she still didn't take these ninjutsu, which were only at the ninth-rank level, seriously. She focused on communicating with the "Nine-Nine Heavenly Thunder Gourd" and let them hit her.

Even without the blessing of the "Lotus Immortal Body," her physical body remained resilient...

"These attacks are constantly aggravating the injuries in my body. If this continues, it will be troublesome once I really fall in cultivation level..."

"Fortunately, it's just the initial use of the magic weapon's power, so we don't need to prepare for too long."

Upon realizing this, a bolt of silver lightning flew out from the vermilion gourd in Su Xuanbing's palm, striking a corner of the "Eight Gates Golden Lock Formation".

At this moment, this corner had not received any replenishment of energy, and its defenses were the weakest, so it was penetrated in one strike.

Seeing this, Su Xuanbing did not hesitate at all. She suppressed her injuries, circulated her magic power, and urged the Wind and Fire Wheels to transform into a ball of fire, rushing out from the pierced corner.

One of the four ninjas tried to block the flames with his large wind-type spiral technique, but the flames pierced through him and he instantly shattered.

His three ninja companions cried out in grief upon seeing this, and then chased after him together.

Only then did the priest presiding over the formation sigh and shake the bell in his hand.

A crisp sound rang out, and the crimson lotus flames brought by "Ten Thousand Prisons Void" on the red-haired child were extinguished.

"Old man, that woman's fire was terrifying. If you had acted any later, I would have been dead." The red-haired boy patted his chest and exclaimed in fear.

This priest was the middle-aged man who had gathered people to kill Su Xuanbing.

The priest ignored his subordinate and, after feeding the witch a pill, said, "What direct descendant of a noble family isn't strong?"

"How is Rin-neechan?" The red-haired child first inquired about the shrine maiden's condition with concern. Seeing that the middle-aged man indicated "she won't die," he continued, "You clearly had the ability to stop that woman just now, didn't you? Why didn't you help the ninjas?"

The priest shook his head upon hearing this: "Who knows if she has any other tricks up her sleeve? Besides, she has already locked onto me. If I dare to make any move, I'll probably be the first to die."

He paused for a moment, then looked at the spring not far away and said, "Besides, the Divine Wind Festival is about to begin, and I don't have time to get entangled with her any longer..."

"It would be better if those ninjas kept her occupied!"
"Anyway, we're not really on the same side as those ninjas."

……

Above Xiongshan Port, Su Xuanbing, who had barely managed to use the Wind and Fire Wheels, was no longer able to control this divine power and turned directly into flames, rushing into the city.

Before the powerful cultivators stationed in the city could even inquire what was going on, she was suddenly swept up by a gust of wind and headed straight for a dark "crack".

In the dim light, she saw a masked man being blown to her side...
