Mortal To Immortal (Book 1)
MTI 197 - Hands Down

In the Moon Cloud Sect, Yun Lian was not only known for her status, cultivation talent, or beauty, but also for her personality. Other people who didn't know her closely would rate her as an untouchable cold girl who didn't really care about the surroundings.

The joy he had in childhood seemed to disappear after losing both of his parents who were missing when following the continued small-scale war of the great world war of cultivators twenty years ago that had stalled.

From that moment on, Yun Lian did not appear to be revealing a smile or rather as if she had lost the ability to show expression. Often his gaze is flat even when he feels enthusiastic or interested in something.

Having high cultivation talent and some special privileges such as eyes and body, made Yun Lian dissolve in cultivation practice for so long from childhood to adolescence. Unfortunately, undergoing such a long training made Yun Lian difficult in interacting and understanding the surroundings, but that did not mean that the girl was stupid.

Upon hearing the first huge explosion that shocked the entire contents of the Jade Treasure City, Yun Lian immediately understood that the explosion came from one of the elders of his guard, Mo Zha. The reason Yun Lian could figure it out was because the man was always happy to tell her his love for explosions as if it was something to be proud of.

Trapped in an awkward situation with the young genius of the biggest sect of the white and neutral stream, making Yun Lian curious was also enthusiastic. He could feel that the cultivation talents of those young geniuses were not bad and were quite offsetting.

Without Yun Lian realizing it, the bitter thing she had experienced in the past pushed her to avenge the two white-flow sects she had always remembered since childhood, namely the Sky Mountain Sect and the Sacred Sword Sect. Seeing in front of him were the young geniuses of the two sects, Yun Lian wanted to teach a lesson by eliminating them.

Unfortunately, there were a few young geniuses who were blocking Yun Lian from achieving her goal. Though, after successfully eliminating the young genius from the two sects he was after, Yun Lian had intended to escape from there, as she realized she was being sought by her three escort elders.

Yun Lian did not plan on facing off against the other young geniuses, but as they continued to get in the way, Yun Lian did not feel much objection either. After all, the fight can add to his experience as well as give a warning so that they are better off getting out of the way than getting hurt. Or worse to be killed.

Facing Shen Qi and Honghao simultaneously did not make Yun Lian afraid. He became excited when one of the young geniuses he wanted to finish off finally showed themselves. He was only focusing on Shen Qi, but Honghao who used a high-level technique could not be ignored just like that by Yun Lian. Honghao could be a hindrance to her.

Both Shen Qi and Honghao felt confident with the fighting experience as well as the speed they had. That confidence came from Shen Qi who had just entered into the fight and Honghao who was issuing his highest technique. However, the more their confidence slowly faded as they fought longer with Yun Lian.

Two against one, moreover this one opponent was female, not making Yun Lian cornered. The girl managed to read the movement as well as the direction of Shen Qi's sword attack. Also managed to dodge Honghao's deadly attack.

Although the two of them attacked relentlessly in turn in order to injure or not give Yun Lian a chance to counterattack, still their efforts failed miserably.

"He's more dangerous than he looks. His talents and abilities may be above all of us here, especially his fighting experience." Bing Xinhai who was standing beside Bing Xueyu gave an opinion while frowning.

"It's not possible anymore, because everything is true. Too bad we're in a difficult position to intervene help." Bing Xueyu retorted softly, then let out a long sigh.

"So we just shut up and look?" Bing Xinhai had originally wanted to get into the fight, but was also not rash in acting. If one made a wrong decision, it could lead to enmity between the Northern Ice Fortress and the Moon Cloud Sect.

"Hm. look at the progress. At least we'll help indirectly."

Bing Xueyu then approached Shui Hua who was helping Huo Lin. The Ice Fairy girl was intending to help lighten Huo Lin's wounds by flowing an ice elemental Qi.

Back at the two-on-one fight between Shen Qi and Honghao against Yun Lian. Without them agreeing, the two unleashed a massive attack together, inflicting a loud explosive sound and a huge hole on the ground. A dust cloud was created blocking the view.

They were certain, at least Yun Lian was seriously injured with that combined attack. However, their smiles faded as they saw Yun Lian standing upright across them some distance away from the huge explosion resulting from their attack.

"I can't believe this..." Shen Qi clasped his sword firmly with trembling hands.

Yun Lian managed to dodge in time. He felt annoyed that he could only dodge, but was lucky to manage to dodge at the last attack. The attack was actually fast, but Yun Lian was a little faster relying on the agility of his body movements.

"My turn..." Yun Lian muttered softly.

Shen Qi and Honghao belatedly acted one breath when they realized Yun Lian was forming some simple hand spells. A bright red light enveloped Yun Lian and blinded the sight of the two.

"Ah, my eyes..."

The two of them stopped and protected their eyes. The light was only as a fruitful diversion resulting in lowering the vigilance of the two. Just as the light dimmed, a murderous aura approached them accompanied by a deadly tread attack that landed on each chest.

"Aragh!"

"Ughhh!"

Shen Qi and Honghao bounced together. Shen Qi fell down on the ground hard, as did Honghao. It's just that their conditions are much different.

Honghao was slightly better off, as Yun Lian attacked him not too strongly with her left hand. Moreover, the fire tiger shield he used became the last protector before then disappearing. Honghao vomited blood once and experienced shortness of breath.

Shen Qi's condition was much worse. He was getting a powerful attack from Yun Lian using his right hand. His body screamed in pain as it tried to drain the Qi, having previously vomited blood several times.

"Great!"

Ji Wentian could not stay still and finally intervened. Moreover looking at the two hands Yun Lian was currently in black and enveloped in a blackish-red Qi.

From that change, Ji Wentian realized Yun Lian was using a technique that had intentionally not been used in the previous fight.
