CHAPTER 117 CONFRONTING RULE CULTIVATORS

"You brat, you have the guts to mess with us?" a tall, thin young man in a gray robe said menacingly,

glaring at Darren.

"Ha-ha. You bastard, I was following you secretly! You're really a fool, didn't even notice me! I can't

believe you even dared come here. You're digging your own grave," Henry said smugly. His cheek

where his ear had been cut off was swollen. So when he laughed, he looked rather creepy.

Darren began to check the strength of Henry's companions and found out that they were just at the

Primary Realm and some of them possessed strong Spirit Power.

"Darren, it's not a good idea for you to fight them. I'm afraid that you will break through if you activate

any of your spiritual energy. Leave them to me," Elsa whispered. She took a step forward and

unleashed all of her sword intent.

"I can take care of these losers with my blade in a minute. Now that you want to teach them a lesson,

I'll leave them to you. Be careful. They are rule cultivators, so they might have some special skills,"

Darren warned her.

Elsa nodded her head, preparing to unleash some moves against them.

Noticing that Elsa had stepped in front of Darren, the people of the Medicine Pavilion laughed out loud.

"You son of a bitch, you even got a woman to protect you! You're a coward!"

"She's certainly a special girl, isn't she? This brat is so lucky!" one of them said lewdly. "Hey, sweetie,

this loser will get you in trouble sooner or later. Why don't you hang out with me? I'll make sure you'll

have a good time every night. Ha-ha."

"Go to hell!" Elsa shouted, her face turning dark.

Taking a deep breath, she charged towards them. 'I can handle these losers without using my sword, '

she thought.

The gray-robed young man who outranked the rest snorted and instructed his crew, "Come on, just a

girl at the Spirit Realm. Go take her."

A couple of men around him started to move. They got into a formation and made mysterious gestures

to form some special handprints.

Upon seeing this, Darren had a bad gut feeling.

When Elsa stretched out her palm to attack them, a soft force entered her body and counteracted the

power in her palm. And meanwhile, several wind daggers came at her.

'Rule cultivators are good at using the natural forces to attack people. Looks like I can't underestimate

them, ' Darren concluded as he observed the fight.

Elsa couldn't see the wind daggers, but she could detect something was approaching. Instinctively, she

rapidly moved aside to dodge the attack. The wall behind her was hit by the wind daggers and fell to

pieces instantly.

Elsa narrowed her eyes and became even more alert. Taking notice of their strange attack, she

reminded herself to be focus. This time, she drew her sword and released strong sword intent.

"Get lost before it's too late. I don't want to take your lives," Elsa said icily.

"What's this? It's sword intent!" several stronger rule cultivators murmured, furrowing their eyebrows.

It was evident that they were slightly afraid of powerful sword intent Elsa had unleashed.

"What a surprise! You even mastered sword intent. I underestimated you, sweetie. But you still can't

hurt us a bit. Guys, get in formation!" the tall, thin young man in charge shouted, staring at Elsa with a

playful look in his eyes.

Darren didn't plan to join the fight for he had full confidence in Elsa's strength. Most importantly, he was

curious about rule cultivators and wanted to know more about their skills. 'If Elsa is at a disadvantage, I

will come to her aid, ' he thought.

A few seconds later, the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion had assumed a hexagram-shaped

formation.

"Flames Burning!" shouted the gray-robed young man as he stood in the middle.

Scorching flames appeared under their feet, flowed together and formed a hexagram-shaped fire circle.

'They utilized Fire Rule, ' Darren thought, memorizing the gestures those rule cultivators had formed.

All of a sudden, Elsa wielded her sword towards her enemies. At the same time, a tremendous blast of

sword intent came at them too.

With their eyes closed, the rule cultivators stood still. As they made faster gestures, the fire circle gave

off a flash dazzling light and moved towards Elsa at rapid speed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Flames collided with sword intent in the air. After a few moments, fire rained down and dissolved the

stone wall nearby.

Influenced by the impact, Elsa took a step backward. However, she waved her sword, unleashing

overwhelmingly powerful sword intent. Having done this, she dashed towards the tall, thin young man

in an attempt to cut his throat.

Her target let out a defiant snort and said fiercely, "Earth Formation!"

The rule cultivators swiftly got into another formation.

As Elsa approached them with her powerful sword intent, the earth began trembling and countless

sharp spikes poked out from the ground, shooting up towards her!

Elsa swung her sword and broke several of them. However, the power she had unleashed bounced

back at her, forcing her to stagger backward.

Just when the enormous sword intent was about to hit the rule cultivators, an ochre-yellow shield

appeared in front of the rule cultivators and deflected her sword intent.

Elsa's heart skipped a beat as terror came over her. She stepped backwards and fought against her

own sword intent. But inevitably, it hurt her badly. She felt a searing pain coming from her chest.

Two of the rule cultivators whose Spirit Power was weak spat out blood, affected by the blow Elsa had

dispatched.

"Shit! This bitch has such a powerful sword intent!"

"Shut up! How could you put the blame on my sweetie? Your Spirit Power is just weak," one of those

who didn't get injured said mockingly.

They were quite composed and unruffled.

Elsa was a bit frustrated.

"You've done your part. I'll deal with them," Darren said softly.

"No. Stay out of this. I believe I can bring them down," Elsa responded with determination, as she

waved her sword and darted at the rule cultivators.

This time, she activated her sword core in her elixir field.

A wave of infinite sword intent exploded out of her body and flooded towards them. owns this text.

"What the hell? This woman is going to use a more powerful skill to attack us. Keep your eyes open,"

the tall, thin man warned them immediately.

The rule cultivators tensed up and got into the Earth Formation once more.

Elsa was pissed off now. Her pride was quite wounded. She destroyed all the sharp spikes coming out

from the ground with the formidable sword intent, now much more powerful than the previous one she

had released. Then, she directed the sword intent to strike the center of their formation.

"What a bad luck. We have met a difficult opponent," one of the rule cultivators said in a trembling

voice.

Some rule cultivators turned pale, growing visibly flustered at the sight of this.

"Boom!"

Invincible word intent shattered the ochre-yellow shield and attacked the rule cultivators' skin!

Though Elsa thought her enemies would be eliminated soon, the rule cultivators sped up

simultaneously and vanished into thin air in a flash!

'They used Wind Rule to help them get away? They moved as fast as I do when I display Shadow

Lightness, ' Darren thought, amazed at their speed.

He released his Spirit Power and was able to detect the rule cultivators' positions. It turned out they

were coming right at Elsa!

With a furious snort, he strode forward.

In a moment, he had positioned himself in front of Elsa and threw an abrupt and mighty kick.

A disciple suddenly became visible!

He was thrown into the air, coughing up blood. He finally fell on the ground ten meters away from

where he had flown, rolling limply like a sack of flour.

"I can't believe it. This brat is too fast..."

Now caught in a wave of panic, the rest of the rule cultivators fell to the ground one by one. Darren's

abnormally high velocity left them dumbfounded.

What had happened also surprised Elsa. 'If Darren hadn't come to my rescue, I might have suffered

severe injuries. The skills these disciples used are very very strange, and yet rather effective, ' she

mused.

"Now, it's time to show you what I am capable of," Darren said with a big grin, a wicked look coming

over his face. "Flames Burning!"

Darren threw multiple gestures with such speed that no one could see what he was doing. He

concentrated, and red flames filled his eyes.

The next second, a fire ball materialized between his palms. Suddenly, it flew towards the rule

cultivators lying on the ground.

"It can't be. How did he display our skill!?"

Shaken up, they all fixed their wide eyes on the fire ball hurtling at top speed towards them.
