Immortal Path To Heaven Chapter 493

One strike, one kill!

Ou Yangming, who had been quietly observing the fight, was surprised.

He was not shocked by the achievement of Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei. The two ladies were considered to be legendary figures, and he had smithed pieces of equipment for them. As such, they could have slaughtered the water snake even if they fought alone.

Nonetheless, before the fight began, Ou Yangming never expected them to achieve such a mind-blowing feat even though he had confidence in them.

The young ladies worked in cooperation and killed the water snake with a joint attack.

They displayed remarkable sides of them seizing combat opportunities and utilizing their powers, hence it did not seem surprising that they attained such a result.

“Woof, woof…”

Big Yellow barked twice before it jumped into the water. It paddled in the river and arrived at where the water snake died in no time.

The water snake's carca.s.s was split, but its body was still turning over on the water, causing the water surface of that spot to be the synonym of death. Nevertheless, Big Yellow was not afraid of it. It scooped the snake's head with its claws and hurled it to the sh.o.r.e. There were no splashes around the snake's head throughout the process, which proved how perfectly the big yellow dog was able to control its power.

Ou Yangming nodded and thought, 'Big Yellow has finally reached the standard of a spirit beast.'

The big yellow dog was in disgust when it glanced at the water snake's raging body. It suddenly opened its mouth and let out a deafening roar.

An airwave was instantly released from its mouth, and it drove the water snake's body into the air such that an arc was formed in mid-air before the body landed on the sh.o.r.e. Although the water snake's body still jerked on the sh.o.r.e, it could not stir up even a storm anymore.

Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei gasped. They looked at each other and had more respect for Big Yellow's performance.

'How could an airwave spat by it be so powerful? It doesn't seem like it can be achieved by a half-spirit beast.'

“Lil' Ming, look…” Ni Yinghong was astounded.

Ou Yangming chuckled but cursed internally, 'Idiot, now that you put up such a show, even a fool knows your true strength.'

Since Ni Yinghong was already suspicious, he no longer tried to keep it a secret from her, thus he revealed the truth with a smile. “Elder Sister Ying, Big Yellow had already advanced into a spirit beast. Hehe, now that we're protected by three spirit beasts, we'll complete our task perfectly and go home.”

Ni Yinghong looked deeply at him and remarked, “Lil' Ming, you did great.”

Ou Yangming smiled bitterly. He knew she was somewhat displeased because he kept a secret from her, so he quickly went forward and expressed, “Elder Sister Ying, the joint action between you and Jiumei really opened my eyes. You're amazing to have killed a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast in one strike.”

The young ladies exchanged glances. The fight was extremely short, but it was a triumphant one for them. Therefore, they were elated after being praised by Ou Yangming.

“I was rather hesitant when you requested to fight the Aquatics' spirit beast, but I'm completely at ease now.” Ou Yangming nodded.

Even though the young ladies were not capable enough to resist a spirit beast yet, at the very least, they could defend against it and escape.

'What's there to show off about that bit of skill? If I made a move instead, I'll surely peck those creatures to their deaths regardless of the number.' The little bird in the birdcage looked away. It somehow despised Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei, but it did not attack them because it knew Ou Yangming valued them very much.

In actuality, the little red bird was not fully grown, but it looked incredibly adorable.

Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei were very fond of it too, but the little red bird seemed to have been born with a cold aura. Not to mention them, even Wu Hanning dared not get close to it.

Ou Yangming noted after some thought, “Elder Sister Ying, given that there's such a formidable water snake in the water, I'm such it gathered a group of powerhouses from the Aquatics. If those creatures aren't taken care of, they'll be a serious problem for the Humans.”

The two young ladies were not bloodthirsty, but they looked grave at the moment.

“Lil' Ming, I understand,” Ni Yinghong said in a deep voice, “Jiumei, let's go.”

Jiang Jiumei responded to her and followed her to the water.

The river water undulated, but the young ladies walked as though they were on flat ground.

Jiang Jiumei's talent in martial arts was unmatchable, and she was already at Extreme Grade, so she could naturally sense the changes in the waves, allowing her to unload and borrow force. On the other hand, while Ni Yinghong lacked in her martial art boundary, her mental power was notable, hence she could borrow force as every step she took formed small up-and-down swirls. The young lady's fine control over the wind energy was the fruit of her hard work.

Ou Yangming nodded. Ni Yinghong never relaxed even when she was out of his sight.

Halfway across the river, Ni Yinghong suddenly waved her hand. Consequently, the river surface in the distance billowed as an intense wind was formed, and the wind turned into an invisible wind blade through an unimaginable method before it entered the water. Despite looking invisible, the wind blade carried an indescribable power, which immediately drew a substantial amount of water into the air as it spun.

Apart from ordinary fishes and prawns, a humongous fish the size of a person could be found in the surging water. The large fish carried a mighty aura, and it was probably at the peak of Yang Grade thought it was not a great ancestor.

Jiang Jiumei flashed like a ghost to the side of the giant fish, whose head was cut by her magic longsword before it could react to the situation.

It was definitely a waste of a fine weapon to use a magic tool against a Yang-Grade-level half-spirit beast, but Jiang Jiumei was so fast that the sword-light only appeared for a split second. Following that, the fish's body fell hard with the wave, by which an enormous body struck its body. As a result, its head was snapped in the center, and its blood painted the river red right away.

“Woof…” Big Yellow barked cheerfully and hurried toward the fish.

The small fishes and prawns around the big fish were doing their best to suck in the red water. They had no wisdom, but they knew the water would benefit them greatly. Having said that, the area became peaceful again after Big Yellow arrived and released its killing intent. In fact, even the strong fishes that swam over from afar due to the smell in the river fled at once.

Big Yellow exerted force through its legs and kicked several times to toss the dead fish to the sh.o.r.e.

Ni Yinghong did not know to cry or to laugh. “Big Yellow, stop messing around. We wanted to use it as bait, so don't scare the fishes away!”

The big yellow dog was stunned, then it shook its head and wagged its tail while sticking its tongue out. It looked at Ni Yinghong like a good-natured dog, unlike how a majestic spirit beast should act at all. Big Yellow quickly curbed its aura so apart from being an eyesore on the water, n.o.body could tell its real strength.

Later on, Ni Yinghong shook her head and moved her wrist a little to release another strong wind to wrap up the red water in this area. She moved with the wind and arrived at another spot, then she channeled the water into the new zone.

The water boiled in an instant. Without the pressure from Big Yellow's aura, the other aquatics instinctively headed toward the area.

Ni Yinghong was highly-spirited. She had released her mental conception long ago and enveloped this zone. Under her supervision, none of the changes in the water could hide from her. Moreover, while Jiang Jiumei did not possess great mental power, she could achieve the same result through her method, which was by carefully sensing the changes in the waves. If there were intense and abnormal movements, it meant that powerhouses from the Aquatics were close.

“Jiumei, another one's coming!” Ni Yinghong's eyes lit up after a brief moment.

Jiang Jiumei responded to her softly and carried immense killing intent as she held her divine sword, which was s.h.i.+ning in a sword-light. That said, she did not release her killing intent, thus other than Ni Yinghong and Big Yellow, the creatures in the water could not sense anything.

“Woosh…”

Under Ni Yinghong's control, water from the river rose into the air again. A monstrous crab was seen snapping and clawing as if it wanted to grab something in the air, and it looked fearsome. However, Jiang Jiumei swayed her body, and the sword-light from her weapon appeared but disappeared in the blink of an eye. By the time she retreated, the crab's body was split into two as it was slashed by her sword.

Far away, Ou Yangming's eyelids twitched, and he thought, 'When did Jiumei become so fierce? She beheaded her enemies in one strike and even slashed that crab from top to bottom this time; that's too fierce of her. Given that she's such a violent lady, it won't be easy for her to get married in the future…

As he made ridiculous complaints on the side, the fight on the water had ended.

When the two ladies joined hands, even a great-ancestor-level half-spirit beast was killed from a head-on fight, let alone Yang-Grade-level half-spirit beasts.

Nonetheless, as said by Ou Yangming, the two water snakes were so forceful that they subdued the half-spirit beasts nearby. This was why there were more than 10 Yang-Grade-level half-spirit beasts in this area.

Even so, the half-spirit beasts were not smart enough. They were drawn by the blood of their kind one after another, and they ended up being dead souls under Jiang Jiumei's sword.

After an hour, Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei could not find more opponents anymore.

Nevertheless, they had a huge gain, and they could not have achieved the same result in another zone.

Each time they successfully killed an aquatic, Big Yellow was responsible for sending the carca.s.s to the sh.o.r.e. Subsequently, the carca.s.ses were stored in Ou Yangming's Long Feather Band. After all, it was best not to waste the energies from the flesh and blood.

Ni Yinghong and Jiang Jiumei went ash.o.r.e, but they wished they could continue to fight. Every aquatic killed meant that they could retrieve a loss for the Humans, so they were not guilty at all though they were on a killing spree.

Ou Yangming laughed out loud and summoned his pet beasts through his sea of consciousness. The goshawk swooped down after a while, and a quaking sound could be heard coming from the distance.
