Night of the Broken Gliph

The lady dressed in red reached out her right hand, a bloody glow emitting from her palm and solidifying. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6Hvb1IwiXz 維尼

It was a blood-coloured double-sided spear that was the width of her palm with pointy spearheads. The bright red spear in her hands and cloak danced fiercely in the air; the lady standing on the tower resembled a war goddess! 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡvB9cioyBmm 維尼

She looked up, her eyes filled with murderous intent which seemed to materialise. Her energliph lit up, giving off a domineering aura that shot for the black flame. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡhVPyswfZyC 維尼

8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLLOtvxfmR 維尼

The crowd was in shock.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1vGKUAOGYX 維尼

“Legends have it that the three great institutions have certain elites guarding them. It’s real!  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡpcs7okAtWJ 維尼

“Could… could that lady be the legendary Blood Dragon Fairy, Lung Wai Yuet!?” 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡvZ8dTTRsav 維尼

“I have no idea who she is, but that energliph… She’s definitely five-chambered!”  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡHbhF9qpPVI 維尼

The crowd watched the blinding white light fill the night sky as the blood-red pillar  shot towards the black flame. The black figure lowered his head to meet the pair of determined eyes.8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwehrdTH3Q 維尼

Boom!!! Invisible shockwaves spread from their point of collision.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMd3vUIlFA 維尼

Luckily, the gliph Old Ngai formed around the city protected South Imperial City from damage. Numerous waterfalls surged like poisonous snakes, ready to coil around and bite the black flame. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡB11CgdSu6F 維尼

The crowd was only able to see the situation once the shockwaves dispersed. The lady and her spear was up against a similarly coloured sickle. It was just like those used for farming, only a few times larger. On its blade were pitch-black flames that looked like screaming, tormented souls! 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡsYpbX3sOd6 維尼

The figure in black held the sickle-like a grim reaper who harvested the living’s souls.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡJtI63wur7i 維尼

“What is that!” The gliphers with weaker mental states immediately felt nauseous at this scene.8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ30dU4tvnPQ 維尼

The lady had a grave expression as she growled. The white light around her got increasingly bright and gathered on her weapon. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0a0KA56oeG 維尼

“Solar Destruction!”  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡoanXkGJvA2 維尼

The black flame fought her closely while speaking up in disdain. “I detest nothing more than this accursed glow!”  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡHpaIYQxQUj 維尼

He waved the sickle in his hands slightly, the deadly souls on the blade leaving illusions behind. The spear and the illusion met and both dispersed.8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡojAJ8UDh7f 維尼

Szz… 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡryKbwpCnlx 維尼

The lady’s expression changed as she retreated instantly. A sizzling black flame appeared where she was barely a moment ago. It gave off no smoke nor anything, as if it naturally existed there. However, her face fell once she took a closer inspection at the flame  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Zb5eXxHgi 維尼

She might not understand much about the flame, but at her rank, she could sense its gliphility, and she realised that the flame was powered by death energy. which used living things as fuel and burned any living things it touched.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡyrup0HRn9L 維尼

What a sinister flame! Even so, she could remain calm as she knew she was in South Imperial City. Her belief was proven when she sensed two powerful energliph auras closing in; they were both elites of her rank.   8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyANvoie28 維尼

Now, the necrocultivator was surrounded by four powerful cultivators.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡhH0IoevGNv 維尼

8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8afdUvq41s 維尼

“Admit your fate.” Old Ngai stood in the air with water vapour surrounding him. A closer look would reveal the gliph strings under the water vapour.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOsq7UAulY 維尼

身前形成千山萬水的水霧，便是危老紋力化紋的紋線！8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡGLPcKWwrTj 維尼

The mountain range in front of him was water vapour made of his very gliph strings—this was how powerful a thousand-gliphic gliphist was.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbAX2TDfZ4 維尼

“You’re currently in South Imperial City, the graveyard of all trespassers.” 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNYl8gMcC0 維尼

On the other hand, the lady didn’t say a word but stared at the figure in black calmly. As a member of the Metallic Blood War Gate, she got to the rank she was today by fighting with her life on the line, and she disliked speaking nonsense while fighting. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73Ly347Wig 維尼

So that was what she did. The blood-coloured spear in her hands buzzed and shone brightly; she was storing up her energy.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoyGSLPyUK 維尼

Sensing the two other auras, the black flame’s laughter echoed. “Do you really think I came unprepared?”  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡsXhNUY81hy 維尼

Old Ngai’s heart fell, but he said nothing. His waterfalls covered more than half of the South Imperial City, ready to attack!  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0n9GBRc9O 維尼

At the same time, a powerful wave cracked the skies above South Imperial City. An intense aura of death energy hissed among the clouds.8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡWOtPMdiNyW 維尼

Boom!  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6xNCKr4CcG 維尼

Moments later, a crack appeared out of nowhere, turning into a three-metre tall door in the blink of an eye.  It was a bizarre sight, all the more so when the paper door radiated the atmosphere of a gate leading straight to Hell.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡAG36rd3Azb 維尼

“South Imperial City? Number one city in the world? What a joke. This is just the beginning.”   8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡCd8FBCQM14 維尼

“The world will belong to necrogliphism, and only those that follow us will survive. Death awaits all those who resist!”  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6OgYPqp7ne 維尼

The black flame sneered and dashed towards the doors with a black trail behind him.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡGD47SacEYE 維尼

“Don’t think of escaping!” Old Ngai shouted as the mountain range shot to the flame to suppress it. The lady turned into a red light and dashed towards the flame simultaneously.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ZfKcJSHYZ 維尼

“Hehehe! Hahaha!” Eerie laughter echoed throughout South Imperial City, turning the moonless city into a ghost town. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1nljbns8Ht 維尼

The mountain range and blood spear shot towards the black figure, But even the two attacks weren’t enough to stop him. As he got closer to the door, it creaked open, revealing a hole that was darker than night.  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡEoRRdzk9rF 維尼

Without hesitation, the black flame plunged into the door, which closed after him. The door disappeared the next instant, leaving behind only his echoey laughter. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡbCH1zEraMg 維尼

Old Ngai stared furiously at where the paper door disappeared. At the same time, the water vapour around him dispersed. With the gliph formation around South Imperial City, he could tell that the figure had indeed left. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡHzaqFmkwYG 維尼

What was that! This was his territory where not even a thousand-gliphic gliphist could enter and leave as they pleased.  Which means… that isn’t gliphism!  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jTHQYPIBt 維尼

The gorgeous lady wore a cold expression, and with a random wave of her red spear, the metallic smell of blood spread everywhere. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGUnIjnpwy 維尼

“Old Man Chan and Man Shu, what is the meaning of this!” She snapped.   8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡy6Y5QwOPEY 維尼

Two figures appeared at the same time. One of them was a middle-aged gentleman in a long robe, while the other was an elder with a rosy face who resembled an immortal. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡSLavePp670 維尼

The elder had a scroll embroidered on his robe, while the middle-aged man had stars on his. None of them were usually bothered by worldly affairs, yet they had gathered today. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHUKYqOHhM 維尼

The four of them were, respectively:  8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡANDDzKmDZo 維尼

Metallic Blood War Gate, Metallic Blood Giant Tower’s Tower Master, Lung Wai Yuet.8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8vVZGCxmJ 維尼

Stars Unite Educational Centre, Star Unite Lake’s Lake Master, Chan Chung Ching.8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡTamMWxfmcB 維尼

Great Book Academy, Great Book Pavilion’s Master, Elder Man Shu. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡz5jl2MPKP0 維尼

Finally, the guardian of the Evergreen Palace and the thousand-gliphic gliphist of The Thousand Mountain and Stream formation, Old Ngai. 8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡzhNJQvvp5h 維尼

They were basically the most powerful cultivators in the South!8964 copyright protection125ＰＥＮＡＮＡNqqakNeYhy 維尼
