Chapter 1199: Chapter 644: Slave, Tuoba Weizhi, Pays Respect to Master... (5k)

In the silent La Garden, beside the altar, bright flames leapt within the bronze tripod, illuminating the white bone mask of the priestess, who exuded an imposing presence without anger, bolstered by the army behind her.

"Gulp—" Zhao Douan felt as though he could hear the sound of his own gulping, as feelings of tension and fear surged to his heart. 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Zhang Yan Yi indeed held back the Great La Ba, but inside La Garden, the "managers" had blocked several thieves.

"It’s the High Priest! I caught a glimpse of her from afar last time. As expected, she resides within La Garden..." Yu Xiu quickly and nervously explained.

Jin Jian gripped the Magic Wand nervously with both hands, lowering his voice:

"What should we do? How strong is she? Can we hold her off? If not, should we leave?"

The little miser kind of wanted to run away.

Yu Xiu pinched her finger formula, looking ready for battle:

"I’m not sure, I’ve never fought her, and we’re short on information. But she shouldn’t be too strong, or she would have acted herself earlier instead of sending her divine servants."

Clearly, the divine servants in the courtyard were driven by this priestess.

Zhao Douan grimaced:

"I doubt it, is there a possibility that she deliberately let us in to prevent us from escaping? But no matter how strong this priestess is, just her thousands of divine servants are enough to overwhelm us...

So, let’s take down the priestess first. As long as we take her down, the divine servants will lose control, and at worst, we can repeat our old tricks."

Through divine sense communication, the three quickly reached a consensus.

And at this moment, the priestess alone stepped down from the altar, walking along the steps toward them.

"Buzz!"

Yu Xiu murmured a low "go" word, and the hair above her head moved without wind.

Concealed within her sleeve, the jade flying sword, thin as a cicada’s wing, transformed into a rainbow light, closing the hundred-step distance in an instant, closing in on the priestess’s face!

In the Daoist sects, there is a saying, "A sword flying a thousand paces is fast, a sword flying a hundred paces is both fast and accurate." Among the known means of attack, in terms of speed and sharpness, the flying sword is unmatched.

It is also a classic means of weak magicians against martial artists on the battlefield.

In her tense state, Yu Xiu’s sword strike was nearly her life’s limit, with the green rainbow slicing open a verdant gash in the night, the sword rushing through the air with a string of sonic booms.

But the priestess seemed to have been aware beforehand, slowly lifting her right hand just before the flying sword darted out.

Her movement was not fast, yet strangely, her fingers were timely enough to touch the sword’s tip.

Then, the mana surface of the jade flying sword was instantly "wiped away," its blade dimming as if extinguished, leaving only its powerful momentum, pushing the priestess back a dozen steps!

The priestess frowned slightly, withdrew her hand, and the flying sword, devoid of both momentum and mana, fell to the ground with a clang.

This all happened quickly, in the blink of an eye, Yu Xiu’s strongest sword strike had failed.

Yu Xiu’s expression changed dramatically, her face turning pale as if struck by lightning, her mana unstable, exclaiming: "I’ve lost control of my life-bound flying sword!"

Zhao Douan was stunned!

To defeat Yu Xiu so easily, how strong is this enemy? Even a world-perfected being couldn’t do this, right?

Could it be... another ’Half-step Celestial’?

"Senior Sister!"

Jin Jian shouted in shock, stepping forward to support the Kun Dao, who was counterattacked after breaking her flying sword.

The young priest’s eyes flared with anger, and without hesitation, Jin Jian’s hair grew rapidly, her body transforming as if she had grown ten years older, a lunar wheel appearing behind her, her wildly dancing hair whipping the air.

Jin Jian’s small face was cold, raising a finger:

"Go!"

The priestess steadied herself and once again moved forward.

Confronted by thousands of strands of silver hair wildly dancing toward her, each strand was condensed from starlight and moonlight, not solid but pure mana attacks.

In Jin Jian’s view, since the opponent used some method to disperse the mana of the flying sword, it might not be able to deal with pure magic assaults.

However...

The priestess in luxurious robes, holding her staff, merely paused slightly, seemingly a bit impatient as she raised her right hand again, spreading her fingers, and lightly swiped!

"Bang!"

In her fury, Jin Jian heard a loud rumble from her internal organs, and the continuously surging mana inside her suddenly "froze."

With mana flow stopped, each horrifying strand of hair broke off inch by inch.

Jin Jian also let out a muffled groan, reverting to a youthful form, clutching her stomach in pain, enduring the backlash of the mana attack.

Once again, it was dispelled!

In that moment, both Yu Xiu and Jin Jian were terrified, realizing that the "witch" before them seemed to possess a certain power restraining magicians.

Any mana could be imprisoned by her, implying immunity to magic.

This situation, they last encountered when Xu Jianwen carried a jade pendant immune to magic.

But that was only immunity; this priestess could erase magic and suppress mana.

"Be careful! Don’t use magic means, use physical force!" Yu Xiu yelled to Zhao Douan, enduring the pain.

"Got it!"

At this moment, Zhao Douan took the opportunity to retrieve the Taibo Bow and several steel arrows from a scroll.

He nocked an arrow, pouring the surging Qi Mechanism from his fingertips into the arrow.

"Die!"

The first arrow whooshed out.

At this distance, there’s no way to miss!

Being able to suppress magicians means this priestess is also a "Magician," and magicians often have feeble bodies. If a martial artist gets close, they might even be killed by someone from a lower realm.

But the priestess, facing the incoming iron arrow, merely reached out with a calm hand and caught it!
