If she lost control of her divine sense, then the flaming arrows would lose their shape and return back to the clump of fire. The crimson hue at the tip of the arrows could either explode or just scatter disappearing to nothing. She wanted to experiment with what would happen if she suddenly let go of her divine sense on the flaming arrows but she felt that she had already done a lot of fooling around.
The three were not her only enemies, there were still six elders of the Thapa clan hounding Punya and there were many others below fighting her clan members not to mention the golden core formation realm cultivator in a stand-off with her husband. The golden core formation realm cultivator still hadn’t made his move; he was just standing in the air showing off. As for below, there was chaos.
Everyone was attacking everyone especially those at the lower qi sensing realm cultivators. The death toll was increasing rapidly. But there was not much Kumari could do for them. If she interfered in the low-level fights, the other party would also do the same and the situation would only get worse. The number of deaths among the lower realm cultivator would only increase. But she had to do what she could with the three cultivators ahead of her and help Punya. Although Punya was still holding on, he was now on the defensive and the elders of the Thapa clan were not using their trump cards.
They were probably wary of Punya’s trump card or they had some reservations about other things, there was no way to know. The only thing she knew was that she had to finish this fight soon by either killing the three or incapacitating them otherwise Punya would be on the losing end. If he could get closer to the elders, then he would have a chance to injure them heavily but the elders were attacking and kiting him as if they were gauzing his strength trying to get the full information. Kumari looked at the three cultivators in front of her and smiled.
But for the three cultivators, the smile became the most terrifying thing ever. She waved her hand and conjured seven arrows this time. The three cultivators knew that if they let Kumari attack them then there would probably be no chance for them to counterattack so the three cultivators stood in a formation where the two from Visigoths were in front and Liu Ming in the back. Even though the crimson hue of the flame would hurt their soul, they were confident that they could endure it a few times without grave injuries.
As for explosion upon contact, they were body path cultivators, unless their limbs were torn off completely, they would be able to recover from minor injuries. And as body path cultivators they were confident in their defense. Even if the explosion hits, they would be able to negate some of the damage from the impact using their cultivation technique, and as for the remaining damage, they would be able to endure it.
They didn’t have to endure the arrows for long, if they could land an attack on Kumari then with the three of them there was a greater chance of defeating them. They were afraid previously because Kumari had a strong body and the crimson hue on her flame was a bit deadly which could directly attack the soul. After trying to think rationally they came to the conclusion that given a chance, they would be able to defeat Kumari.
Stolen story; please report.
Their defeat was not a hundred percent written. So according to their tacit understanding, the two body path cultivators came in front of Liu Ming and circulated their cultivation technique covering their whole body in white sheen. Liu Ming at the back was also trying to use his soul attack to intercept her conjuring and this time he succeeded.
Even though Kumari was covered in her flaming armor, she was still hit by the soul attack, and in an instant, the conjured arrows started turning back into flame blobs. There were still seven flaming arrows but their shape was gradually becoming distorted between arrow and flame blobs. Out of the seven arrows, two distorted fast and turned into flame blobs where the crimson hue disappeared gradually.
As for the remaining five distorted figures, they were constantly turning between arrows and blobs. At this moment the two Visigoths went for an attack. They reached Kumari instantly and attacked her with their strongest attack. Kumari was maintaining her flame armor against soul attacks and she was also manipulating the flame arrows that were down to five. The jade white fist covered with aura was rapidly approaching toward Kumari and except for the cauldron she had no other defense. The cauldron once again moved toward Alaric blocking his path and Alaric in turn punched at the cauldron with a huge amount of force.
This time the cauldron vibrated more intensely almost spewing the flames inside. This seemed to create backlash against Kumari and her face became a bit paler. The five flame arrows turned into fire blobs and were about to be extinguished. At this time, Frideric had reached towards Kumari and threw his strongest punch. He had used a lot of his aura because he knew Kumari would block Alaric’s punch at any cost.
Otherwise, with Alaric’s cultivation realm at the ninth stage of the Body cleansing realm which was equivalent to the ninth stage of the foundation building realm, it would be hard for Kumari to defend. And now with his full power, he had managed to create backlash for Kumari giving an opportunity for Frideric to injure her. Frideric had just reached the arm’s length of Kumari and the other two cultivators were watching eagerly. Liu Ming had already prepared for another powerful soul attack on Kumari.
As Frideric’s fist connected with the flame armor of Kumari near her ribs, there were no expected crunch sounds of her broken ribs. And at that moment everything changed. The confused Frideric looked at Kumari only to see a smirk on her face. He wanted to shout something was wrong but instead, he was repelled by an explosion. Kumari had a concentrated crimson hue on the tip of a few scales on her armor near the point of impact.
The attack from Frideric did hurt her but it was just a few bruised ribs, none were broken and her visceral organs were intact. She had done this on purpose to let their guard down because she knew this was the only strategy likely to succeed against her. She knew the best option for the three cultivators was to use a soul attack against her to distract her and use brute force for serious damage. If she was an ordinary cultivator at the ninth stage of the foundation building realm, it would have worked but she was not and the three were going to pay.
