The Ancestor of our Sect Isn’t Acting like an Elder Chapter 168.2

Chapter 168.2: 168.2
168 . 2 – Nine Lives Cat (I)
“– be careful!”
Xihe’s voice has just sounded, when Xue Qilin barely caught a gold afterimage with her eyes, and rapidly jumped to the left . Xihe jumped in the opposite direction, avoiding the oncoming “shooting star” .
The sound of an impact exploded .
Jialan, emitting gold light from head to toe, landed on the place where Xue Qilin has stood previously and radiated a raging shock wave that lifted Xue Qilin and Xihe into the air .
After turning her body in the air and landing with her feet on the ground, Xue Qilin immediately raised her head and looked ahead .
In the cloud of dust, a gold glow depicts the outline of the lass, who is standing up slowly .
“It’s this feeling… this exhilaration, this excitement… it’s them . ”
A trembling voice sounded, as Jialan emerged from the gradually dispersing cloud of dust .
“Thank you… thank you guys . ”
Excitement —
The excitement made her pant, made her face flush .
“It’s you guys who made me feel this, so thank you… thank you very much!”
The lips of the lass, whose eyes are intoxicated, emitted a moaning voice .
“Ah… ah… but it’s not enough… not enough… I want more…”
Then, she smiled .
A strange smile .
“Now, can you give me more?”
She’s crazy .
Jialan is already beyond reasoning .
Something slowly climbed up her back, making Xue Qilin tremble involuntarily .
However, deep down in her heart, there is something — an impulse — brewing . She vaguely heard a roaring voice shout something .
“– Qilin!”
Phecda’s call made Xue Qilin suddenly snap out of it .
Eyes rippling with crimson color have already drawn near, but there is nothing reflected inside them . The pupils are unusually enlarged, as if they are black holes that can suck in all gazes .
Jialan sent a palm overflowing with light striking towards Xue Qilin’s chest .
The majestic true qi rushing towards her almost made Xue Qilin unable to breath . However, she still reacted and tossed dozens of talismans
As if directed by someone, the talismans, red characters and symbols on a black background, arranged themselves neatly between Xue Qilin and Jialan .
“Barrier, set boundary!”
Xue Qilin snapped her fingers, and the talismans radiated light and formed a barrier of light that blocked the invasion of the “gold” .
Boom –!
As if sounding a copper bell, when the palm hit the barrier, it made a dull sound .
Jialan, who wasn’t done yet, clenched her palm, which is pressed against the barrier, into a fist and twisted her wrist violently .
Along with a harsh sound of friction, a spiral of true qi broke through the barrier and drilled into Xue Qilin . She shuddered violently, and blood slowly trickled out from the corners of her mouth .
At the same time, the subtle sound of cracks spreading rapidly rose, followed by the crisp sound of porcelain breaking .
The barrier shattered .
With their power depleted, the talismans turned into ashes .
“Augment lightning with fire — Alkaid!”
Xue Qilin forcibly swallowed the sweet and fishy thing that rushed to her throat and stabbed Empyrean Universe with all her might, and a number of blue-white lightning arcs that appeared out of thin air wrapped around it . The power contained in the domain this time is far greater than in previous instances . This is due to Xihe converting the surrounding spiritual qi of other attributes into fire spiritual qi .
The sword body, with lightning arcs dancing around it, tore the atmosphere apart and stabbed towards Jialan’s throat fiercely . Jialan, faced with the lethal blow, didn’t evade, allowing it to hit her .
A violent sound of metal striking metal rang .
“What!”
Xue Qilin is appalled .
Empyrean Universe did indeed stab Jialan in the neck, but it didn’t even penetrate the skin . Coated with gold light, the place the opponent’s neck was hit is incredible hard .
“Boring… really boring . Is that all you got?”
Asura’er pouted and uttered in dissatisfaction .
“– That’s Imperishable Vajra Body! Fall back!”
Silver-white tails swept over to create an opening for Xue Qilin . At the same time, she kicked off the ground and threw herself backward .
“That’s really tactless!”
Jialan waved her arm gently and pushed Xihe’s tails aside, and then continued forward .
“Pest!”
Faced with the lightning fast attack of Jialan, Xue Qilin fought back with Flying Flames . At the same time, she detonated the spiritual qi between them, trying to slow down the other party .
However, it was in vain .
Jialan is covered in armor-like gold light . All the attacks vanished the moment they hit her .
This is Imperishable Vajra Body?! Xue Qilin gritted her teeth, slashed Asura’er with Empyrean Universe, and started a few sparks . She could only watch helplessly as the unscathed Jialan rushed towards her .
The next moment, an impact hit her .
Fortunately, Xue Qilin used Empyrean Universe’s hilt to deflect the palm slamming towards her in the nick of time, causing the palm to only graze her shoulder .
Despite this, she was still flung away .
“Asura’er, don’t forget that you are facing two opponents . ”
Xihe’s stern voices resounded through the sky .
Jialan, who was about to pursue Xue Qilin, was engulfed by a pillar of fire that suddenly sprang out from the ground .
“So, since you are in the same boat, you want to exploit your advantage in numbers . ”
Jialan extended her hands from the pillar of fire, and then pushed vigorously to the left and right . The pillar of fire immediately split into two, and then turned into flame debris .
“However, did you know that all scheming is futile in the face of absolute strength?”
As flame debris flew everywhere around her, the Vajrayana Grandmaster, in a backhand strike, sent a gold imprint barreling towards Xihe .
“I feel like I’m being underestimated . ”
Xihe raised her eyebrows and, using dexterous footwork, tried to avoid the straight palm imprint .
“I’m not underestimating you . ”
Jialan’s sweet smile gave Xue Qilin a bad premonition .
Her hunch soon came true .
At the moment when the two were about to pass each other, the gold palm imprint suddenly became several times larger . Xihe, unable to escape its rapidly expanding scope, was hit squarely .
Following an explosion of true qi, a cloud of dust rose and countless stone fragments splashed about .
“Xihe!”
Xue Qilin’s gaze passed Asura’er and headed for the place where Xihe is located, and she shouted urgently .
“I said I didn’t underestimate you . Why din’t you listen?”
Jialan, who has a look of grief on her face, released a long sigh .
“Really, why didn’t you believe me? Why –”
“No, you underestimated me . ”
As if about to cut the space open, nine tails flailed recklessly, left silver-white trajectories in the air, and dispelled the cloud of dust that blurred the vision .
The figure that emerged no longer has the silhouette of a person .
It is a huge silver creature that looks like both a cat and a tiger .
It shook its head left and right as if it has just woken up from a deep slumber and took a step forward to exercise its body for the first time in forever .
The shape is similar to that of a lion or a tiger, the claws that dug into the ground are shaped like sickles, the fur covering the entire body is shiny and silver-white, the nine tails at the back are swaying in the air .
— Nine Lives Cat .
Xihe appeared in her true body form and emerged on the battlefield as a martial demon for the first time .
