Chapter 90: Encounter Battle

  Thanks for the reward from "Horned Immortal", "Crimson Red Moon"!

  Correcting it, the role of Byakko, the trump card of "Four Gods", is called Shou Fu not Shao Hu. Due to Japanese translation reasons, Baidu Baike and Wenku have different names, but I think Shou Fu suits a girl better than Shao Hu, so from now on, let's call her Shou Fu... anyway, it doesn't really matter whether we change it or not, after all, she is just an extra poi...

  Before me lies a forest shrouded in thin mist.

  In the distance, the calls of unknown birds and beasts can be heard.

  "Hiss, I hate the forest..."

  Pouting, Bayun Mo began to release spiritual energy to explore the surroundings, then—

  "Hmm? To actually be able to suppress the spiritual power and prevent it from scouting out the surroundings? This Sealing Barrier is quite interesting."

  This seal of absolute confinement seems to be more than just a hindrance to the Spirit Masters' abnormal departure.

  In the surrounding air, there were wandering light spirits.

  These light spirits can broadcast the live match scenes of each team, allowing all audiences to know the progress of the Spirit Sword Dance Festival in real time.

  Ignoring those light spirits, Bayun Mo directly opened a slit of space.

  "Put all your luggage in first."

  The girls of Asuna's team put various large and small packages into the gap as promised.

  Of course, this thing won't work with the magic stone. The rules of this Sword Dance Festival require that the magic stone be carried on one's person.

  "It's really scary, no matter how many times I see it."

  Glancing at the gap filled with sinister eyeballs, Kreller felt a little uncomfortable and touched the goose bumps on her arms.

  "Come to think of it, I still don't know what attribute the senior's spirit is. Looking at Minato-senpai's crest, it should be water attribute, but this ability clearly isn't a water attribute ability!"

  Linsley gazed curiously at Yakumo Sukehiro.

  "I'm an exception." Yakumo Sumeragi said matter-of-factly.

  He is indeed an exception.

  A monster disguised as a spirit.

  "Alright, let's find a place to set up camp first. When fighting in the forest, it's best to have a base of operations."

  After everyone had put their luggage away, Yayoi Moku closed the gap and said.

  "My scouting ability has been suppressed and can't be used, so Alice, can I ask you to use the wind spirit to scout out the situation around us?"

  Alice's spirit Smurf is a wind attribute spirit, so it has great skills in wind attribute spirit magic.

  After Alice released the scouting magic, everyone began to move forward in formation, searching for a suitable place to camp.

  Meinashi is at the forefront of close combat, Kurea, Rinslet and Yui are in the middle, and Eris holds the Spirit Magic Wing Gun at the back.

  Yakumo Moku, being Ashita's husband, is naturally with her in the front lines.

  Many people continued walking in the forest for some time.

  Occasionally, Luminous Spirits with broadcast screens fly by all around.

  These sprites have been specially trained and will not enter when their masters are in private time.

  "Dad... Jie's foot hurts..."

  Before long, Yui went forward and pulled on Yakumo's sleeve, complaining.

  Unlike Akane who had been trained in wilderness survival at the academy, Yui was well taken care of by Yakumo Moku and never experienced any hardship.

  Looking at his daughter's tightly furrowed brow, Bachiroku instantly felt a pang in his heart and picked up the little girl.

  "Then let dad hold you."

  "Mmm!"

  Yui buried her small head in the nape of Bachiko's neck, deeply sniffing the unique lily fragrance on him, and rubbed against him intimately.

  Watching Yakumo Moku dote on Yui, all the girls except Asuza showed a look of envy.

  "Be careful!"

  Alice stepped forward suddenly.

  A burst of energy in her heart, and a group of girls simultaneously summoned their spirit armors.

  Just as Yakumo Suke picked up Yui, he put his daughter back on the ground. His opened eyes underwent a change in their pupils, eventually forming a pair of yin-yang fish that slowly rotated.

  In sight, a strong divine energy reaction can be seen in the front left not far away.

  The air became oppressive and quiet, as if even the distant birdsong could no longer be heard.

  "Come out with your hands up!"

  He raised his left hand and instantly shot out over a dozen magical bullets with Eight Clouds Ink.

  "Boom!!"

  The rolling dust brings with it an overwhelming killing intent.

  Yakumo Moku sensed something was off in his heart and instantly dodged sideways.

  The ground where he was standing suddenly surged up a huge arm made of yellow sand.

  The sandy arm that burst out of the ground twisted and chased after Bayun Mo, who was dodging.

  "What a joke!"

  Absolute Sword Technique: Initial Form - Violet Lightning

  The blade shone with a purple electric light, Asuka stepped forward holding the Demon-Slaying Holy Sword, and swung it to cut off Sha's arm at the waist.

  "Watch out above!"

  Behind her, Linsette issued a warning.

  "Crush it! Gargoyles' spirit 'Gagui'!"

  Suddenly, countless huge boulders appeared above their heads and came crashing down on the members of Asuna's team!

  "Fulfill the ancient pact! Protect us, Sea God!"

  Yui raised her hands, and a soft blue-green glow emanated from her palms. A semi-circular water shield formed, protecting everyone within it.

  The next moment, a huge boulder crashed onto the shield, stirring up countless waves.

  The water shield looked like it was about to collapse, but it still withstood this round of attack.

  The earth shook violently, countless sand and stones surged up, forming a giant made of sand.

  On the back of the giant sand spirit, a sprite messenger was standing upright.

  Wearing a pure white uniform with vibrant embroidery is the spirit messenger of the Kingdom of Balstan.

  Under the control of the Spirit Master, the giant made of sand charged towards everyone.

  The enormous body made every step of the elf feel like an earthquake, with the ground trembling beneath their feet.

  "Seductive demon!!"

  The air in front of Yakumo's body distorted for a moment, accompanied by a sharp scream, and the black demon reappeared.

  With sharp claws waving, the charming monster charged towards the giant of sand, while Yakumo Moku continuously fired dozens of magical bullets.

  "Boom!!"

  Magic Bullet fired after, hit the Sand Giant before reaching the Charmed Monster.

  The demon rushed up and attacked the fairy.

  "Enemy ahead!" Alice warned.

  A girl holding a double-edged military sword suddenly emerged from the thicket of shrubs.

  She deceived her in front of her, then lowered her body and swung her hand, with both knives tightly attached to the ground, slashing towards Akane Tsunemori who was closest to her!

  "You'll never get away with this!"

  Baiyun Mo directly kicked a stone block next to him with one foot, and at the same time, he fired a barrage of bullets!

  The girl let out a hiss and slapped her hands on the ground, using the force to dodge Eight Clouds Ink's attack with several flips of her body.

  "Let's go, Esther!"

  "Alright sister, I am your sword, everything as you wish!"

  Wielding the Exorcist Holy Sword, Asuka pounced on her as soon as she landed, and the Earth Sword Dance technique she learned from Greviath, the Dusk Witch, finally made its debut in this battle!

  "There is still a little mouse hiding in the dark."

  He muttered under his breath for a moment, and then Hachiguma Ink slipped into the gap.

  "No, it's gone!?"

  In the distance, on a hidden giant rock, an elf drawing a bow and arrow made the girl stare blankly at the eight clouds of ink entering the gap, unable to react for a moment.

  "Ah la, is this little girl looking for me?"

  A sudden wave of heat reached her ears, and the girl's body tensed up, just as she was about to turn around -

  "Don't move around!"

  A dagger emitting a cold glow was somehow placed in front of his neck.

  Although the fragrance of lily surrounding her nose made her feel very comfortable, the girl's heart continued to sink.

  "This eerie spirit is too scary"

  Yakumo Tsurugi appeared behind the girl's back and struck a blow to her neck with a smile.

  With the magic stone retrieved from the maiden's waist in his right hand, he glanced down at the spirit wielder maiden who had fallen to the ground and lost consciousness. Yagumo Takeru raised his left hand towards the distant battlefield.

  Just as Yagumo Taku opened a gap to deal with the sniper—

  "Fierce wind! Go wild - Wind King Burst Flash!!"

  On top of the giant sand spirit, while dealing with the charming specter, Alice had already charged forward swinging her Wind Wing Spear.

  The long spear with a tornado stabbed fiercely into the body of the giant sandman!

  "Your final destination... Burial in the Quicksand!"

  The giant of sand pierced by Alice's Wind Wing Gun suddenly burst into a sky full of yellow sand, wrapping Alice entirely!

  "Alice!"

  Cretia swung her flame whip around Alice's waist and pulled hard, pulling Alice out of the yellow sand.

  "Rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble, rumble!!!!!!"

  Alice had just landed when a dazzling barrage of bullets came pouring down from the sky, enveloping both the desert and the sprite together.

  After the smoke and dust had passed, the yellow sand had disappeared without a trace, and the spirit girl was also lying unconscious on the ground.

  "How despicable!"

  Seeing her comrades lose their fighting strength, the twin-bladed girl who was fighting with Akane could only retreat in dismay.

  As Akane was about to catch up, the girl suddenly threw a spirit ore bomb onto the ground.

  "Boom!"

  The explosion did not produce a shockwave, but instead emitted a blinding flash of white light, causing everyone to involuntarily stop in their tracks and raise their hands to shield their eyes.

  After the white light disappeared, the twin-blade girl had vanished into thin air.

  "It's okay."

  Yakumo Mokou, back in the team, tossed the magic stone in her hand and asked Akane with concern.

  "It's nothing." Akane shook her head.

  Creer walked over with a somewhat serious expression after searching for the magic stone on the unconscious girl.

  "We'd better find a place to set up base quickly, or we might encounter another battle like this again."

  "It's also true, this time it was them, but if next time they encounter a top-notch team, it will be tough."

  Linsley nodded in agreement.

  "Then let's all move forward."

  There was no time for rest, and Mingyue ordered everyone to continue advancing immediately.
