Night of the Broken Gliph

Chui Yim landed on the ground, trembling profusely as Chor Shing Chit, Bak Wun and Ping Ching rushed to him. 

“Leave him for now. He’s not feeling well,” Bak Wun said after seeing Chui Yim’s condition. Worried, Chor Shing Chit nodded in response while Ping Ching looked at Chui Yim calmly with a small bottle in her hands. 

Chui Yim was currently feeling okay in contrast to what Bak Wun said. He felt the chilliness being driven out of his body, which he found to be the Heaven’s Flame’s doing; it swallowed up all the chilliness in him when he peered inside his body. Chui Yim clearly heard the black ghostly claw’s miserable cry as Heaven’s Flame sucked the chilliness off it. 

His eyes shot wide open as a sign of red washed over. 

Thud.  Something fell to the ground from behind him. Chui Yim turned his head subconsciously to see a bluish-green forearm bone on the ground. Rather than a bone, it looked like a piece of bone-shaped jade. Chui Yim stowed it away immediately before Ping Ching reached him and handed him an elixir. 

There was a cooling sensation in his body as soon as he took the elixir, and the side effects brought to him by the chilliness dispersed within no time. Chui Yim nodded to Ping Ching in gratitude. He then looked up to the aggressive battle happening in the skies. 

Boom boom boom! 

“Hahaha, so this is what the big five clans of Southern Ping have to offer? You can’t even kill me, an elderly woman who’s about time!” Yellow Spring’s Lady’s high-pitched laughter rang across the place as both black silhouettes next to her moved rapidly. 

The silhouette with a sword acted calmly, launching an attack again and again. Sword energy of hundred meters cut across the air, instilling fear in many with its sharp energliph while the silhouette punching its chest continued its pounding as if it would help its punch light grow. 

A three-chambered glipher who could not dodge the attack in time had his chest shattered and died. The sight of how powerful the Yellow Spring’s Lady was made left Ping Cheng Sau in shock, but he kept his cool and shouted an order, “All three-chambered and ten-gliphic state cultivators, leave the site! Four-chambered and hundred-gliphic state cultivators, let’s join forces and take her down!” 

All three-chambered and ten-gliphic state cultivators fled the site immediately after hearing the order, while about twenty cultivators surrounded the Yellow Spring’s Lady right away. All of them were either in the hundred-gliphic state or four-chambered state, and every one of them was notable in the world. They were Southern Ping’s foundation! 

Three-chambered gliphers would be considered to be the best cultivators in Southary, but now, they weren’t even qualified to participate in this battle. The number of fighters decreased significantly after the three-chambered and ten-gliphic state cultivators left, yet instead of getting weaker, the Southern Ping team had actually gotten stronger. They did not make use of their strongest skills previously as they were afraid of hurting their allies by mistake. Now that only the elites were left, they had chemistry with each other and were able to perform to their greatest extent! 

Boom!!!

Countless gliphs and gliphility filled the skies, lighting up the night sky like a sun. 

The Yellow Spring’s Lady cursed as the black silhouettes next to her dimmed down. “I’ll go all-out on you all!”

She coughed blood, looking as pale as a sheet of paper. But it did not stop her from being even madder. At the same time, a silhouette appeared from her left foot. A sharp whistle followed the silhouette’s appearance. It was the whistle that destroyed Ping Chi’s Poorest gliph previously! 

A sword, a punch and a whistle moved continuously after each other as they complemented each other. The three silhouettes  suppressed the attacks from all elites from the Southern Ping and sent them hundreds of meters away. 

“You want to stop me, huh!? Dream on!” The Yellow Spring’s Lady let out a laugh of madness again. She scanned the crowd, and her eyes landed on Chui Yim before she glared at him, full of hatred. The bone might have lost its negative energy, but being the Yellow Spring’s Lady’s treasure in the past, they still had some connection, making it easy for her to locate Chui Yim. 

“Chui boy!” She let out a deafening scream. “I, Yellow Spring’s Lady, swear to not let this go until your death!”

All surrounding Chui Yim turned to him to see that he was watching her with a straight face. Whispering of guesses on what he did to the Yellow Spring’s Lady was heard. 

With that, she shot up to the sky, ready to escape the encircle! 

“Trying to escape, huh?” A voice boomed across the place. Yellow Spring’s Lady looked up in shock, and she could see a finger-sized elixir in front of her. It was an ordinary elixir, but to the Yellow Spring’s Lady, it was a mountain instead. 

This was both an elixir and a mountain. It was unknown when Ping Chi rose to the skies of Southern Ping again. There was still blood on the corner of his mouth, but he was now staring at the Yellow Spring’s Lady unfazed. “Guests might not know the reason why the five clans of Southern Ping are able to live in Southern Mountain peacefully for centuries, right?” 

With a solemn expression, Ping Chi bit his thumb and blood flew out onto the ordinary-looking elixir. “Suppress!” 

Boom! 

The aura on the elixir increased, and an illusion of a mountain appeared on the elixir. That mountain was no other than the Southern Mountain, but an inverted one. There were now two mountains; an inverse one and the original Southern Mountain. What was between them was the ordinary-looking elixir. The illusion of the mountain dropped slowly onto Yellow Spring’s Lady! 

The huge suppressive aura left the crowd in huge shock, some disciples and guests watching the scene with jaws dropped open. They were at a loss of what was going on. Some elites of the clans already knew about this secret, but they were equally astonished too, while Mo-Yung Yin, Mo-Yung Clan’s leader, watched the scene in envy and strong desire.

“Southern Mountain Elixir…” 

“Impossible!” Yellow Spring’s Lady’s mad growl rang across the place. When she saw the illusion, she went berserk. The illusion in front of her was so powerful that it bore the power of almost a five-chambered glipher. Of course, she was able to tell that this skill could only be used near the Southern Mountain. Despite this, it was still terrifying. 

Boom! 

The illusion moved closer to her. The impact felt just like an actual mountain had crashed on her. Seriously injured, Yellow Spring’s Lady vomited blood. The three black silhouettes around her dimmed down too, looking as though they were about to fade. 

Bitterness was written all across her face. “If not for the sudden loss of connection between me and my treasure, which injured my heart chamber, I would never end up in such a pitiful state!” She immediately remembered that if not for Chui Yim, her treasure would have already taken form and she would have escaped already instead of being trapped here. The thought of this made her hate Chui Yim to the core. 

The illusion descended on her once again, and she let out a miserable laugh. “If I must die, I must find a company!” 

She raised her right hand and slapped down on her chest, making the heart in her body explode. She vomited out black-coloured blood that had pieces of heart flesh in it. That was not just the heart and blood hard work of the cultivator, but also the essence of her cultivation. 

Yellow Spring’s Lady diverted this drop of blood onto the ghost-like silhouette. The silhouette holding onto a sword and the one punching its chest had disappeared, leaving only the ghost-like one behind. It seemed as if Yellow Spring’s Lady was trying to insert all her cultivation into the silhouette. 

“Necrogliphism! Blood essence infusion into the soul!” 

“Go!” She laughed madly, and the silhouette dashed for Chui Yim!
