"Hmph!"
In the intense golden light, all else became futile.
Except for Tang Sui and Ning Rongrong, who stood further back, everyone else, including Tang San, was injured by Zhao Wuji's first spirit ability eruption, letting out three varying groans.
"This is bad."
Dai Mubai, who had been observing,'s expression changed slightly. He moved his feet and rushed towards Zhu Zhuqing, who had been instantly flung away. With astonishing speed, he appeared at her falling trajectory and caught her.
He looked at Zhu Zhuqing's trembling arms with a grim expression. Although he hadn't examined them closely, he noticed that both her arms were dislocated and she had fallen unconscious. Her body was merely reacting to the pain.
Xiao Wu, also struck by the violent shockwave and sent flying, spat out a mouthful of blood in mid-air. She flew back towards Tang San, who caught her hand to steady her, but her face was very pale.
Even Tang San, who had suffered the least, felt blood surge in his chest due to the pull of his blue silver grass, and his internal organs felt as if they were burning with a searing pain.
"Not good, the incense is only half burnt."
Ning Rongrong looked at her injured teammates, her heart filled with anxiety. However, she felt a greater unease about the incense stick that was counting down the time, which was now only halfway burnt.
Even though her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was known as the strongest auxiliary spirit on the continent, and even if it later upgraded to unlock other spirit abilities, they all granted various auxiliary attributes. Healing was not included, let alone the fact that she only had two spirit rings, limiting the effects she could grant. No matter how anxious she was, it was useless.
"Brother, Sister Xiao Wu..."
Tang Sui took in the sudden pale faces of the two. The fox mask, which was slowly floating around her, seemed to sense her mood and stopped rotating. It eerily turned its masked face towards Zhao Wuji, who had begun his second attack after the first.
"Little ones, are you finished already?" Zhao Wuji looked at the "only two" combatants who could still stand. He stomped his foot, his fists covered in a layer of earth-yellow spirit power, forming a glowing palm that he rapidly thrust towards Tang San and Xiao Wu!
"Be careful!" Ning Rongrong cried out in alarm, but just as quickly as her warning, another white shadow flashed past her ear, hurtling through the air.
What was that?
Ning Rongrong froze. In the next second, Xiao Wu, who was about to push Tang San out of the attack's path, also paused.
The rush of wind also swiftly grazed their shoulders as it passed by her and Tang San, piercing through the air and slamming into Zhao Wuji!
This is!
Joy instantly filled Tang San's eyes. He pulled the slightly stunned Xiao Wu and quickly retreated from Zhao Wuji.
"Boom—!"
Before Zhao Wuji's palm-sized, jade-white mask, which had become a blur, could even be seen clearly, it violently collided with Zhao Wuji's overflowing earth-yellow spirit barrier. The mask's inherent armor-piercing property, the moment it touched the spirit barrier, shattered Zhao Wuji's proud defense and fiercely struck his chest.
"What! Ugh!" Zhao Wuji's eyes widened, and the crisp sound of his sternum cracking echoed in his ears.
He, who was like a bronze wall and iron bone, felt as if he were a rotten wall, mercilessly smashed into pieces by another fast-approaching cannonball. His entire massive body flew backward, crashing into an uninhabited wooden house and creating a large hole!
And the culprit who attacked Zhao Wuji slowly ascended into the air under everyone's gaze.
The scorching sunlight fell upon the jade-white mask, coating it in a layer of golden light. The fox mask's seemingly mocking expression made it appear incredibly eerie.
"This is... Sui Sui's spirit ability?!"
Xiao Wu, seeing Tang Sui use her fox mask to attack for the first time,'s eyes widened. She didn't even bother to wipe the fresh blood still trickling from her lips and turned her head in stunned disbelief towards Tang Sui.
Ning Rongrong, standing beside Tang Sui, also looked dazed, her gaze on Tang Sui filled with shock, as if she were meeting her for the first time.
Though, she was indeed meeting the present Tang Sui for the first time.
But, but wasn't Tang Sui an auxiliary type?!
—Author's Notes—
Sui Sui: That's right, I'm a magic support.
Note: Although Sui Sui's current spirit ability doesn't have armor-piercing, the mask itself has this property. Otherwise, how could she punch above her level? Sui Sui is mixed-blood! (hands on hips) Su Dan Novel Network
