Chapter 1250: Chapter 666: Advancement to Half-step Heavenly Human (Part 1)

"Demoness, prepare to die!"

As Zhao Douan dashed forward with a lingering shadow, he charged with his Chasing Saber in hand.

Li Wushang Dao’s jade-colored pupils flashed. Her hands moved, pulling two golden hairpins from the top of her head and gripping them tightly in her palms.

The hefty golden hairpins, once in hand, extended and elongated within a breath, transforming into two golden blades.

"Clang!"

The edge of Zhao Douan’s saber, in that instant, was blocked by the demoness before him who raised her snow-white arms, using the crossed hairpins to fend it off.

"Such strength!"

Li Wushang Dao gasped softly. As a magician, she found herself several positions behind a martial artist in a melee, feeling like her arms were half-electrified and tingling, her legs slightly weak, and nearly losing grip of the massive hairpins.

"What’s happening?"

Zhao Douan was secretly startled as well. Reasonably, the force behind his strike shouldn’t have been resisted by this demoness.

Oddly, however, when his saber struck down, a strong feeling of "pity for beauty" surged within him, as if this violent act of crushing a flower went against his true inner will.

Thus, he ended up withholding seventy to eighty percent of the power behind his strike.

"This demoness’s magic can influence my heart! I must not look into her eyes!"

Zhao Douan quickly realized, shutting his eyes and relying on judgment to guide his direction. He raised his saber, right foot stepping forward, and delivered a standard "Kunshan Lean" with his shoulder towards the demoness’s elegantly lined chin!

Li Wushang Dao reacted even quicker. Realizing she couldn’t win in close combat, she used the momentum to gracefully retreat backward, her long legs in the thin veil tapping footprints into the sand.

"What a ruthless man!"

Li Wushang Dao narrowly evaded a blow strong enough to shatter her entire jaw, hurling the two hairpins in her hands towards Zhao Douan.

The moment the hairpins left her control, they seemed to come to life, left and right, pulling golden rays, whirling towards Zhao Douan.

However, Zhao Douan, capable of defending against even flying swords, easily knocked down the pins, dispersing the mana covering their surfaces, causing them to fall like scrap iron.

Immediately, Zhao Douan coldly raised his eyes. Deep within his pupils, an illusory lotus bloomed, with a transparent "Dragon Girl" at its center who slowly opened her eyes.

At this moment, Dragon Girl’s gaze clashed with Li Wushang Dao’s "bewitching eyes."

Both Li Wushang Dao and Dragon Girl momentarily faltered, but neither could shake the other—

In this divine match, they ended in a draw.

However, Zhao Douan seized the opportunity to rush forward, delivering a knee strike that, amidst Li Wushang Dao’s cries of pain, flipped this mysterious female sorcerer onto her back and pinned her to the ground.

Immediately, the cold blade pressed against her delicate neck.

Zhao Douan coldly stated:

"Tell your people to stop, or I’ll kill you."

Beads of sweat broke out on Li Wushang Dao’s forehead as she remained silent. The Sea God Mages, entangled with Tuoba Weizhi, now panicked, poised to rush over and rescue their "queen."

Seeing this, Tuoba Weizhi clenched his fists, ready to strike...

At this critical moment, on the deck of the nearest sunken ship behind them, Jin Jian, with her petite body, standing up, shouldered a large, bulging cloth sack.

The young priestess was shocked at the scene, dropping her sack in surprise, and cried out:

"Third Senior Sister?!"

Hearing the voice, Li Wushang Dao also paused, the rich green color in her eyes swiftly receding:

"Jin... Jin Jian?"

...

...

A moment later.

Within the huge clearing in the coral forest.

Both sides, having ceased fighting, stared at each other with wide eyes, or more accurately, watching as the "demoness" and Jin Jian embraced and caught up.

"So, this woman is your senior sister? The third disciple of Heavenly Master Zhang?"

Zhao Douan looked at Jin Jian in disbelief, as if seeking confirmation.

Jin Jian turned back, seriously nodding as she held the demoness’s hand:

"Yes, indeed."

The woman, now looking over with hairpins adorning her head, brimming with charm, looked over, eyes sparkling. She curled her lips into a smile and voluntarily said:

"Li Wushang Dao, I’ve long heard of Lord Zhao’s reputation. Meeting today proves it’s well-deserved."

Li Wushang Dao... what kind of name is that, as bad as Gongshu Tianyuan... Zhao Douan mocked internally, feeling rather helpless. Though he knew this priestess was in the East Sea, he didn’t expect to meet them here.

Feigning indifference, he nodded:

"I’ve also often heard Heavenly Master mention you."

Li Wushang Dao was taken aback, then clasped her hand over her mouth and laughed gleefully, swaying with mirth:

"Haha, that old geezer would never bring me up voluntarily. While I was at the Heavenly Master Mansion, he’d often scold me for being indecent, hurriedly expelling me for training. Yet what can I do with my cultivation of ’Beauty God’? Wherever I go, I’m admired."

Han Zhao is a gambler, and this Li Wushang Dao acts just like a female rogue... No wonder these two priests were chased away, seldom showing up, truly a disgrace to the Heavenly Master Mansion... Zhao Douan clicked his tongue in wonder.

After clearing up the misunderstanding, the group of over twenty Sea God Mages curiously but cautiously examined Zhao Douan.

Clearly, they were as familiar with "Lord Zhao" as they were with thunder.

"Senior Sister, I heard there was a ’demon’ in the Thousand Islands, was it you?"

Jin Jian, seeing a familiar face, felt elated and asked curiously.

Li Wushang Dao laughed, wrapping her arm around the young girl’s slender shoulders, and softly said:

"A demon? That’s just slander from the magicians in Thousand Islands. I was merely visiting the East Sea, sightseeing on the islands, chatting with people, and it just so happened some local sisters chose to follow me voluntarily.
