Path to Heaven

Sparks erupted everywhere. A long splitting crack even formed across the combination of the Profound Iron shield and the Cloud shield after the green thrusting blade collided in.

“Phew.” This green flying sword was as nimble as an animal. Afraid that Wei Suo wouldn’t be able to contain it, Han Weiwei immediately formed her flaming shield.

“I’ll cover you, just concentrate fully on attacking him.” Seeing her actions, Wei Suo handed Han Weiwei another artifact, and once again activated the Bronze Pocket Clock. Although the bronze screen couldn’t obstruct the cultivator’s flying sword, it was still able to provide some resistance to it; leaving them some time to react……More crucially, this Bronze Pocket Clock was a Divine-light elemental defensive artifact. After the light screen breaks, another one can be activated to replace it immediately, as long as the artifact wasn’t destroyed.

When Han Weiwei glanced at the artifact Wei Suo passed to her, she wept inside her heart. “Wei Suo, you’re still trying to joke around at such a time. If you want me to fully attack, then you should just pass me your spear.”

In fact, the artifact Wei Suo handed to her looked like an ordinary broadsword.

Moreover, it was fine if it was just an ordinary broadsword. However, this broadsword looked extremely old and sloppy, with numerous scars and stains over it.

Upon seeing Wei Suo handing this shabby broadsword to Han Weiwei, the feminine cultivator teased him. “Young punk, is that a blade used for chopping firewood?”

“Just use it, cut the crap……” Wei Suo executed out a fiery phoenix, revolving around his body as he shouted to Han Weiwei.

Han Weiwei remained silent, concentrating her true energy into the shabby broadsword as she chopped towards the red robed cultivator.

In her heart, she was extremely reluctant to use it, predicting it would definitely be snapped in two by the enemy.

The red robed cultivator similarly had no regards for this broadsword in his eyes. Laughing hysterically, the green flying sword once again easily punctured through the bronze screen, slashing ferociously against Wei Suo’s Profound Iron Shield……

“Clang!” The Profound Iron Shield sustained yet another crack, as though 5-6 swords had slashed against it. Wei Suo’s Profound Iron shield looked as veiny as a palm-leaf fan.

Concurrently, Han Weiwei’s rusted shabby broadsword smashed against the black glowing shield of the red robed cultivator.

“No way?!”

The cultivator and Han Weiwei simultaneously widened their eyes as a huge clunk of sparks emerged on the shield, before fragments of cracks formed.

“I cut!” Han Weiwei instantly turned greatly delighted from her previous miserable expression, releasing any icy white dragon from her palm. At the same time, she slashed furiously with the broadsword towards the cultivator again.

With an ugly expression, that red robed cultivator instantly broke into a wild sprint just like that day when Wei Suo was dueling with him. Instead, this Heavenly Stage cultivator definitely trained in a certain flying skill technique, as his frenzied legs suspended over the ground by 3 inches. His speed was much faster as compared to Wei Suo, completely evading the Icy dragon…..

Meanwhile, he flicked his wrist as the green flying sword swerved back in astonishing speeds like a poisonous green snake. With a loud clash, it collided with the rusted broadsword of Han Weiwei’s.

“Shit!” Han Weiwei screamed. The red robed cultivator exposed a gleeful gaze.

However, that expression disappeared as fast as it came.

The rusted broadsword didn’t split into 2 as what he imagined it to be, only sustaining a mild scar. The huge broadsword continued to behead against his black shield, producing yet another crack…….

“How is this sword so powerful?” The broadsword flew back into Han Weiwei’s grip, as she instantly fondled admiringly over it.

The red robed cultivator clenched his teeth, as the green sword formed into a stream of light, piercing against Wei Suo’s newly constructed bronze lightscreen again, leaving a crack on Wei Suo’s Profound Iron Shield.

Although this broadsword was certainly inconceivable to him, he was sure his own Golden Crow Shield (The black shield) would be able to withstand 10 more sword attacks. Moreover, he still possessed other shield techniques on him. As long as he could find a way to breakthrough Wei Suo’s defensive shields, then killing him first was a guarantee……

Presently, Wei Suo wasn’t very anxious as he activated a skill talisman.

An earthen clump of dense energy condensed around him and Han Weiwei, forming into dozens of thick rough obelisks.

(TN: Obelisks are stone pillars)

The Rank 2 Obelisk talisman he obtained from the horse-faced cultivator.

Although the flying sword would be able to chop off a huge chunk of rock from the obelisk, there was an entire forest of obelisks erected now. The red robed cultivator’s flying sword was greatly hindered, as he couldn’t do as he pleased.

“His movements are swift and nimble. Moreover, this place is too spacious, your skills wouldn’t possess a great threat against him. Don’t waste your true energy on him. Just use the artifact to attack……” Wei Suo advised Han Weiwei after executing the obelisk talisman.

Han Weiwei crudely smacked her chest replying. “No problem, your broadsword doesn’t expend much true energy, there won’t be an issue.”

“Is that so, then activate these items as well.” Wei Suo emotionlessly handed over another item to Han Weiwei.

Han Weiwei examined it. This time again, it was a half broken fragment of a small dagger.

Instead, this time she didn’t berate Wei Suo to stop playing jokes on her. Her brows knitted joyously as she activated this magic treasure.

“Wei Suo, what is this thing, it actually expends all my energy.”

Upon activating this object, Han Weiwei’s face turned pale. She hurriedly consumed another two energy pellets down…..

“Spirit artifact?!”

The red robed cultivator’s face also become pale. A huge black human skeleton along with a black ray surged over. It actually managed to break his Golden Crow shield into two. Flustered, he hastily summoned out another triangular shaped shield that was flickering with white glimmer.

“Careful, that is a Devouring Spirit Shield. It is forged by a Glimmering Yin sand and a low grade Bone glint. It is able to destroy artifacts. Don’t use artifacts to attack him anymore, use skill techniques and talismans instead.” The old man warned Wei Suo upon seeing that white glimmering shield.

“That is a Devouring Spirit Shield, switch to skill techniques and talismans instead of artifacts….” Wei Suo immediately tossed over a bunch of skill talismans to Han Weiwei.

“So it is just a broken piece of spirit artifact.”

“So many skill talismans?” The cultivator looked at Han Weiwei seemingly about to exhaust all her true energy. His expression turned slightly better but once he saw Wei Suo churning out a huge bunch of skill talisman like picking leaves from the ground, his eyes swelled up again.

He suddenly felt that things were turning grave.

“Woah!”

Han Weiwei excitedly squealed, as she activated a sky-blue talisman. Suddenly, above the cultivator, a thick white cloud as huge as 7-8 metre radius formed.

Instantaneously, the white cloud emitted a chilling air, many times colder than a Rank 2 Cold Ice talisman. Innumerable 2 inch long ice shards rained down from the cloud…….

“Rank 4 Ice shard talisman!”

Normally upholding an insufferable arrogance in Spirit Peak City, the red robed cultivator’s face was now ashen, hurriedly recalling his green flying sword. He activated a red talisman, carving out with both hands as he started to cast a secret technique.

After the red talisman was activated, a flaming wall ignited around him. While casting his technique, a blister of transparent lightscreen formed around him. This lightscreen had the same texture as that Elder Mind Devouring Bug. The whizzing ice shards smashed repeatedly against it.

As the ice shards fell, the chilling aura was dispersed, forming a layer of circular frost around the cultivator. Every single life form within it was frosted to death.

Although this cultivator had the defensive capabilities of a Heavenly Circuit Stage level 1 cultivator, he was obviously worried he couldn’t resist the chilling aura. Therefore, he activated the Flaming Wall to complement his skill technique.

“This person is really asking for it!”

Seeing the ashen state that Han Weiwei had forced the cultivator into, Wei Suo really felt like crying.

That mighty Rank 4 Ice Shards talisman was just purchased by the old man back at the nightmarket. It was already Wei Suo’s only large scope attack rank 4 talisman, and had no other special points. Normally, Wei Suo would store high ranking talismans separately alone. It was just this recently purchased high ranking talisman that he hadn’t had the time to do so. He had accidentally placed it within those fireball talismans as well as the other ordinary ones.

Yet, he had only stuffed roughly a dozen talismans into Han Weiwei’s hand. Instead, the one she casually activated was coincidentally that rank 4 Ice shards talisman.

“Good! Splendidly done! My rank 4 Ice shards talisman is really powerful! HAHA, this woman really has the character, and even possesses the good looks with a perky butt; even I kinda like her. But you brat, Wei Suo, why haven’t you told me you harvested her before?” The old man erupted into ecstatical laughter, causing Wei Suo to become frustratedly faint.

“Hurry, seize this chance to wreck his Devouring Spirit Shield!” the old man roared.

“Continue releasing the tasliman! Attack his Devouring Spirit Shield!” Wei Suo bluntly snatched back several talismans, as he started vigorously expanding them.
