Once she heard her calling her sixth sister, Boling Huashanâs body trembled and her face revealed a trace of panic. Then she gritted her teeth, the expression on her face looking a bit colder. âI didnât think that your life would be this firm. Thatâs right, I pushed you into the water that day. Since you didnât die at that time, then today⊠you must die!â
As she was speaking, she slightly bent her head down and stretched out and unfolded her hands, making the wind wizardsâ gesture for summoning the wind element in the air.
âWait, I really donât understand. Even though we didnât come from the same mother, we both still have the blood of the Boling clan flowing in our veins. Why must you try to push me to my death?â Chu Ye said with a wounded face. Her feet didnât retreat backward but actually walked toward Boling Huashan.
What was a wizard best at?
It was controlling the elements in the environment, long-distance AOE attacks, so if an ordinary person wants to escape in front of a wizard, the probability is zero.
The only way to survive is not to retreat but on the contrary, to advance because for a wizard to summon the elements in the air, a buffer time is needed. Her weakness is that she cannot let her opponent get close to her.
For Chu Ye, who was nimble, getting close enough to fight back was her specialty.
Unfortunately, Boling Huashan did not attach importance to Chu Ye, who had always been regarded as a waste by the clan. More accurately, she still thought that the current Chu Ye was still the former Boling Yili.
She was like a proud peacock and contemptuously smiled. âIt is uncanny to blame Father for arranging you to be betrothed to Young Master Lanxi. Let me ask you, an idiot who canât even sense any element. How are you deserving of Young Master Lanxi, who has both outstanding looks and talent? As long as you die, in order for the Lanxi and Boling families to become political allies through marriage, Father will let me act as your substitute and take your place.â
With a glance three years ago, she lost her heart to that man who was as gentle as water, promising that she would get him.
âIt turns out that you killed me just for a man. You said it earlier, I gave him to you. Was it necessary to kill me?â In her mind, Chu Ye couldnât help but lament on Boling Yiliâs misfortune. From Boling Yiliâs memories, she knew nothing about her and Young Master Lanxiâs arranged betrothal. It was really dying unjustly.
But she wouldnât think about it right now, because, at this moment, she was only 10 steps apart from Boling Huashan.
âThe man that I, Boling Huashan, like doesnât need anyone else. You will die.â Boling Huashan looked fierce as a sharp one-chi (~1 ft.) wind blade condensed in her left hand, ruthlessly striking at Chu Yeâs head.
Behind her back appeared four cyan rings of light, revealing that she was already a fourth-grade wind wizard.
Chu Ye suddenly did a backflip and dangerously dodged the blade. Not saying anything further, she charged at Boling Huashan the next second, as quick as a leopard. Her right hand turned into a fist and with momentum like the sound of thunder, punched at her.
Boling Huashanâs maneuver failed, and she changed color. How could she have thought that this woman who didnât even have the strength to truss a chicken a few days ago would now become so nimble? But she was not Chenzhu, she was vicious and merciless and had no little amount of actual combat experience. Seeing her dodge the green light, she had already constructed a wall of wind in front of her and them immediately retreated.
âBang!â With a sound, Chu Yeâs fearfully powerful punch, originally coming at Boling Huashanâs face, was intercepted and suddenly struck a solid wall of wind.
âSsssâŠâ Chu Ye suffered pain and took two steps back.
However, this was a momentary achievement as the retreat several meters back was already enough for Boling Huashan to once again summon the wind element.
âWind Arrow Rain!â With a shout, six wind arrows flickering with a faint green light shot towards the middle of Chu Yeâs eyebrows, her throat, solar plexus, lower abdomen, and two legs.
As soon as the wind arrows were sent out, Boling Huashanâs complexion turned pale, and her body was slightly swaying.
One should know that the âWind Arrow Rainâ was a fifth-grade magic. In a moment of desperation, she used fifth-grade magic which exceeded her own power as a fourth-level wizard, and the price paid was to temporarily consume the wind elements in the body.
At such a close distance, the speed of the wind and arrow was instantaneous. Even if Chu Ye was more flexible and nimble, it was impossible to evade.
As death was approaching, Chu Ye had to admit that using mere force against magic was like using a fist against bullets; it was simply courting death.
However, the expected pain did not appear. At the sign of imminent peril, six sky-blue water silks [1] abruptly came out, catching and stopping the six wind arrows sent by Boling Huashan.
Whether it was the wind arrows or the water silks, they were both condensed from the elements in the air. The two sides collided and with a slight pause, they simply slowly melted into the air, turning back into colorless and intangible elements before disappearing from sight.
The six wind arrows pierced the surface of her ice-cold skin, which made Chu Ye feel murderous. She didnât even pay attention to the six water silks that suddenly saved her and didnât stop as she once again charged into Boling Huashan.
Boling Huashan, a wizard who overdrew her magic, was currently equivalent to an ordinary woman with no strength. How can she still ward off Chu Yeâs attacks? She only felt a flash of a figure and then her slender neck was grasped by an icy hand that seemed to have come from hell, ready to take a life.
Chu Ye was filled with murderous spirit and her eyes were severe. The five fingers around Boling Huashanâs neck suddenly tightened, growing tighter and tighter.
Boling Huashan could not even make out a single sound. Her entire face was blood red, and her eyes became blank. It was evident that Chu Yeâs fingers had great strength.
âLetâs be merciful!â A pleasant male voice unexpectedly sounded out. The voice stopped and a person arrived. With a blue light, a handsome blue-clothed, blue-haired, and blue-eyed man showed up by Chu Yeâs side.
âIt was you?â Chu Ye felt slightly surprised. This man was exactly the one who bought her jade in the pawnshop with 1000 gold coins. She halted her movements but did not release Boling Huashan. Eyebrows raised, she spoke again. âJust a moment ago, it was you who saved me?â âYes!â The man slightly nodded.
Chu Ye wanted to say thank you but suddenly seemed to think about something. âYou are the one she called Young Master Lanxi?â
She remembered the time at the pawnshop when those group of starry-eyed idiots talked about some Young Master Lanxi. It couldnât be this coincidental, right?
Lanxi Liuhua softly nodded again. âYes!â
The succinct reply made Chu Ye frown.
âSaveâŠmeâŠâ Then Boling Huashan saw Lanxi Liuhua back away as if he was seeing the last vestiges of her life. She was afraid, she was really afraid.
Just now, Chu Yeâs piercing gaze at her screamed of death. She suddenly realized that she had offended not a human, but a devil.
She got it wrong, really got it wrong.
