Chapter 179: Natural Counter
This instance does not allow the use of Magic Treasures.
Therefore, Song Jiulai’s ability to use a Magic Treasure was enough to shock Xiao Cui.
“It’s not allowed to use them!” Song Jiulai echoed Xiao Cui, “But it doesn’t say they *can’t* be used, does it?”
Xiao Cui: ?
She suddenly frowned.
Song Jiulai’s Spirit Bee Basket was an Earth-grade Magic Treasure, its power substantial, creating pressure on Xiao Cui in this confined Space.
Song Jiulai also estimated Xiao Cui’s combat strength.
If she guessed correctly, Xiao Cui should also be in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
Being in the Late Foundation Establishment Stage was one thing, but this Spirit Bee Basket was different from ordinary Magic Treasures.
It was disposable, which justified its exquisite Price.
Three Spirit Bees at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage would not be easy to fight.
After sensing the unusual dangerous Aura of the Magic Treasure, Xiao Cui decisively raised her finger. The largely black and white World restored most of its color, revealing the vibrant spring scenery of the entire Courtyard.
It looked beautiful, but unfortunately, it was deadly everywhere.
Several flower paths attacked Song Jiulai from different directions, interrupting her attempt to summon the Magic Treasure.
Song Jiulai retreated rapidly, tilting her head back, and shot several Ice Blades towards Xiao Cui.
This was the drawback of having too few Magic Treasures and Cultivation Techniques; even though Song Jiulai had mastered Palm Thunder to perfection, she found herself stretched thin when facing such a situation.
Song Jiulai’s usual fighting style was simple and brutal. After obstructing Xiao Cui’s movements, she unleashed several more Palm Thunders, the continuous release demanding higher Spiritual Energy.
Thus, Song Jiulai’s action of consuming Pills was also swift.
Seizing the chance for a breather, she unhesitatingly summoned the three Spirit Bees from the Spirit Bee Basket.
In this small Courtyard, three Spirit Bees as tall as people immediately appeared.
When bees are thumb-sized, they look quite cute, but once enlarged, they are no different from exotic beasts.
These three Spirit Bees also had a horn on their heads, similar in color to their bodies.
Unicorn Bees.
When she bought it, the seller only said it was an Earth-grade Magic Treasure but didn’t provide detailed information about the functions of these three Spirit Bees.
After all, disposable Magic Treasures couldn’t be demonstrated; once demonstrated, they would be gone.
But bees have a characteristic.
They collect nectar!
They are the natural enemy of flowers.
Not to mention, these three Unicorn Bees were at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
However, this Earth-grade Magic Treasure was indeed extraordinary. The moment it was used, Song Jiulai’s Spiritual Energy was completely drained.
She quickly stuffed a Tier 4 Qi Replenishing Pill into her mouth, but even so, she was still largely depleted.
The ridiculously high Spiritual Energy consumption made her face turn pale for a moment, and her Body almost lost control, causing her to fall from mid-air.
Seeing the three Spirit Bees appear, Xiao Cui’s expression finally changed drastically, and a hint of fear could be seen in her pure white pupils.
Her Body retreated rapidly. The three Unicorn Bees, receiving Song Jiulai’s attack command, swarmed Xiao Cui from three directions.
Xiao Cui retreated continuously, muttering, “I won’t die here, I won’t die here…”
Song Jiulai was slightly surprised.
Since she was a being from a Small World, constantly in reincarnation for so many years.
Would she have her own consciousness?
The Unicorn Bees were merely disposable Earth-grade Magic Treasures created for a purpose; their functions were not that elaborate.
As they flew towards Xiao Cui, the moment they touched the flower petals, the petals drooped, fell to the ground, and melted like water, gradually turning into a pool of light golden—honey?
This honey flowed slowly on the ground, not disappearing, but rather seeming to melt the ground gradually.
It spread outwards continuously.
The flowers that were originally tinged with black and white were also gradually pulled into it, melting into the same honey liquid.
It can be done like this?
Xiao Cui, who had been faintly visible amidst the flower paths, found her survival even more difficult now.
Seeing her flower petals losing their effectiveness one after another, Xiao Cui’s expression became even more grim.
It was one thing to be able to use Magic Treasures, but to use ones that specifically countered her was another.
Xiao Cui continuously dodged the Spirit Bees’ attacks. During this, she looked up, her pupil-less eyes fixed on Song Jiulai: “How long have you been preparing for this day?”
Song Jiulai: “…”
She couldn’t answer and chose to let the Spirit Bees quickly end the fight.
She saw the barrier over there was about to be broken.
Qin Yongkang’s rampage was also about to affect this area.
Moreover, the Spiritual Energy consumed by these Spirit Bees was terrifying.
Earth-grade Magic Treasures were indeed not something a Foundation Establishment cultivator could use; it was fortunate they were disposable.
In just this short while, Song Jiulai had consumed two Tier 4 Qi Replenishing Pills to keep up.
She had even consumed Tier 3 Qi Replenishing Pills while stalling Xiao Cui earlier!
Spiritual Energy could be replenished, but mental fatigue would deepen, and fighting for a long time would lead to increasing weakness.
No matter how strong Xiao Cui was, she was still only at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
Both were at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, and she was using Magic Treasures that countered her. After her methods became ineffective, the Spirit Bees launched their final attack.
This attack was the poison stinger on their tails.
The poison stinger was so fast that even Song Jiulai, at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, couldn’t see it clearly. The stinger shot towards Xiao Cui; its lightning-like speed allowed Xiao Cui to dodge the first two, but she couldn’t dodge the third.
“Ah!!!”
As her Body was pierced, Xiao Cui let out a wail and a scream.
Her black and white Body flickered like a screen glitch, constantly shifting between black and white and color.
As more color appeared on her, her limbs began to change, becoming rubbery, and her entire Body softened.
She began to turn into honey.
Seeing her transformation, Xiao Cui’s initial gloom gradually turned into a look of confusion.
Was she going to die?
Song Jiulai, witnessing her transformation, felt a pang of fear.
What a terrifying Magic Treasure.
Xiao Cui was, after all, a BOSS at the Late Foundation Establishment Stage.
It was a pity it was disposable.
She finally understood why it was disposable.
If someone with Early Foundation Establishment Stage cultivation could refine a permanent Magic Treasure of such power.
What kind of Sect genius would that be?
But even so, she was still a genius!
“Xiao Cui!”
A furious voice suddenly came. Song Jiulai, without looking back, plunged downwards.
A giant human palm flew over her head; Qin Yongkang had arrived.
He saw Xiao Cui, whose Body was gradually turning into honey, his face filled with grief that seemed genuine.
Xiao Cui also looked at Qin Yongkang.
Her legs were gradually turning into honey; the light golden viscous liquid melted her legs, and her Body began to slide down.
She looked at Qin Yongkang, seeming to want to say something, her lips trembling, and finally only managed to utter, “Dad…”
“Boom—”
Her Body gradually collapsed and completely melted.
As Xiao Cui disappeared, the surrounding Space began to tremble and collapse.
Qin Yongkang had no time to say anything; the moment Xiao Cui vanished, everything around them began to disappear.
Xu Qingchuan saw this scene, his pupils contracting in disbelief: “You… why can you use Magic Treasures?”
As he finished speaking, the three Spirit Bees, exuding the Aura of the Late Foundation Establishment Stage, also disappeared.
