Chapter 106: Pathetic and Ugly
Ying Yue didn't attack. She was feeling something odd from this Spiritual Creature and because of that, she refused to perform any action other than Dodging and running away.
She had even sheathed her daggers and simply used her shadow step whenever she had no way to escape. She could hide like an assassin should and wait for an opportunity but that won't do.
She needed information about this Spiritual Creature and the best way to get it was by fighting it. It would use everything in its arsenal as long as she persisted and she would know everything.
'Why did that girl fight so... weirdly? It also felt like her mind wasn't completely alright. But that should be impossible considering everyone was in their prime condition before coming here. And that only leaves with one option...'
Ying Yue clicked her tongue, looking at the wooden spears coming at her at high speed. They cut through the air and reached her, aiming at her vital parts. They were nothing more than wooden spears and wouldn't pose much problem to Ying Yue, however there was dark blood at their tip which made things worse.
Ying Yue once again used shadow step to escape because she could already feel a few spikes and vines coming at her. And and she was right, the moment she left four spikes came out of the ground and many vines lashed out at empty air.
Ying Yue appeared near a different tree and looked at the dark blood which a thoughtful expression. She then looked into her Qi reserves and thought.
'I can't use Shadow Step too much. I'm already running low on Qi and if I used more, I won't have anything left for the battle. Now, what should I do?'
After training for a month and having a good control over her vast Qi, Ying Yue was able to use Shadow Step many times however it was still taxing. This couldn't go on any longer.
She had spent quite some time fighting this Abominations and only noticed a few things aside from the normal things. She was definitely inside a half domain of a Tier 4 Spiritual Creature which could control Trees, that's how it was attacking her with spikes, vines, spears, etc.
Second thing was the dark blood that was coated in basically everything the creature used to attack her. And it wasn't unlimited because she could see the dark blood getting absorbed in the ground.
'Its this blood that is making it more powerful somehow or rather it's making its opponent weak. It has something in it and probably does it works after it gets in our body. That's why it has been trying to attack me with it. Every weapon has this Dark blood.'
Ying Yue thought, seeing the vings heading towards her. This was the creature's domain and hiding from it was tough.
'But that girl wasn't injured aside from that hand injury? But it looked more like a sword cut...'
Ying Yue narrowed her eyes and then checked her Qi reserves again, thinking.
'Time to take risks. There shouldn't be a problem to do two Shadow Steps so I'll beg everything on this.'
She grinned and launched herself towards the spear that was hurling its way towards her. It wasn't stone as many vines and spikes were already aiming at her along with many arrows, but they were only normal arrows with only a few having the dark blood.
Ying Yue just twisted her athletic body around in the air and dodged everything without getting hurt. She also kept her daggers sheathed as she had other planes. She simply grabbed a spear and held it in such a way that the dark blood wouldn't drop to the ground.
Then she dropped on the ground and instantly used her shadow step, escaping the tip of a spike. She appeared on the other side, holding the spear in her hand.
She ignored other things and looked curiously at the dark blood, which was pulsating as of it was alive. It was pure black in colour and flowed down the spear like a thick liquid.
'This is definitely dangerous but not life threatening...I can't feel my instincts alerting me...'
In fact, they were alerting her of danger but it was very minimal. If it was life threatening, it would tingling very hard but she couldn't feel that. However, she had long learnt not to rely completely on her instincts. Sometimes, they could mislead.
She looked at the approaching arrows and spears and then back at the dark blood. Deciding something, she took off her gloves and touched the dark blood with her finger.
She quickly pulled it away and looked at the drop of dark blood that was trying to go inside her skin. She narrowed her eyes and thought.
'huh!? Do I really need to open a wound to see how it works? Noth— Aghh!'
Suddenly, she dropped the spear and staggered backwards holding her head.
"You're worthless. Even you kins abandoned you. You're now useless to them so they decided to get rid of you. Haha, you're so pathetic! Nobody will accept a girl like you."
"No!! Master accepted me!"
"Do you truly think someone like you deserve to be in his side? Look at others, like Xiao Lan, Lan Ming and others. They're so beautiful and useful but what are you? Huh? You're pathetic, ugly bitch and shouldn't be even allowed to live."
Ying Yue gritted her teeth as she felt thousands of people speaking in her head. She knew everything was false and she was hallucination but the voices were too much and striked at her weakness.
'No! Master would never think like that! He's my husband, someone who accepted even a wretched rat like me. He's the most kind person and I'm actually doubting him? Seriously! Fuck off!!'
Ying Yue roared as she roared and took out her dagger. She brought it down on her other hand, severing the finger in one full swipe.
She panted as madness filled bed eyes. She muttered as killing intent filled the area.
"How dare you!!"
