Chapter 87 Passion for Inheritance
Ye Shuli's heart felt as if it were being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, the pain almost suffocating her.
Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of Jiang Ye's pale face, as weak as a candle flickering in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.
She desperately wanted to rush over and hug him, but Elder Wu's attacks were like a storm, making it impossible for her to move an inch.
"Damn it!" She gritted her teeth, wielding her long sword with impenetrable speed, but still couldn't stop Elder Wu's relentless attacks.
Elder Wu's every move was filled with a chilling killing intent, as if he wanted to tear her to pieces.
"Little girl, you're quite good at struggling!" Elder Wu sneered, the black magic weapon in his hand flashing with an eerie light, which was like an invisible giant net, about to completely devour her.
"Today, I will make you disappear from this world completely!"
Ye Shuli felt a powerful suction force coming from the magical artifact, as if it were trying to pull her soul out.
She struggled to steady herself, trying to break free from the restraints, but found her body uncontrollably moving closer to the black vortex.
"No!" Ye Shuli's body was pulled by that powerful suction force, and her bones made a teeth-grinding creaking sound. She felt as if her internal organs were about to shift. A mouthful of blood surged up and sprayed onto the magic weapon in front of her.
Seeing this, Elder Wu's sneer grew even more smug. "Still trying to resist? How naive!"
Ye Shuli's heart sank to the bottom. Was she going to die here today?
She was unwilling to give up; she still had so many things to do, and she couldn't afford to fall here!
She tried desperately to break free, but the force was too strong, so strong that it made her feel powerless, so powerless that she was about to give up. She felt like a salted fish trapped in cement, having lost the strength to struggle.
Just when Ye Shuli was about to despair, she suddenly felt a warm sensation in her palm. It was the jade pendant Jiang Ye had given her, as if it carried his warmth and his silent support.
She gripped the jade pendant tightly, and a warm current flowed into her body, instantly easing the pain.
“Jiang Ye…” she murmured, a surge of power she had never felt before welling up within her. She could not betray his trust; she had to defeat the enemy before her.
"Hmph! I thought you were so capable, but you still have to obediently become my sacrifice!" Elder Wu's smug voice rang out again, accompanied by the light of the black magic artifact intensifying once more, stinging Ye Shuli's eyes painfully, as if she had been thrown into the sun, about to burn her completely.
Ye Shuli felt a buzzing in her mind, and the scene before her eyes began to blur, as if she were about to be completely sucked into that endless darkness.
She struggled to open her eyes and gripped the jade pendant tightly in her hand.
"Get...out of my way!" she shouted with all her might, her aura suddenly exploding, causing the surrounding air to vibrate and make a sound like shattering glass.
Elder Wu's smile froze on his face. He looked at Ye Shuli in disbelief and suddenly felt a sense of unease.
Ye Shuli could no longer hear the sounds around her. At this moment, all she could see was Elder Wu and the black magic artifact.
She wanted to destroy them completely, for herself, and for...
Jiang Ye.
"You!..." Elder Wu was about to say something when he noticed a meaningful smile on Ye Shuli's lips.
Ye Shuli's lips curved into a wider smile, and a sly glint flashed in her eyes, like a cat that had just stolen some fish.
The jade pendant in her hand shone brightly, and a powerful force surged forth, enveloping her entire body.
This power, carrying the pressure of antiquity and the aura of a divine artifact, caused Elder Wu's expression to change drastically, and his pupils to shrink.
"Holy crap! What the hell?!" Elder Wu exclaimed in surprise, caught off guard by this sudden turn of events.
Just then, Young Master Lin and Young Master Su seized the opportunity. The two cooperated tacitly, one unleashing "Blazing Flames of Heaven" and the other wielding "Ice Soul Divine Sword". The two powerful forces intertwined, like ice and fire, sweeping towards Elder Wu.
"Damn it!" Elder Wu was caught off guard by the sudden attack. While defending against the two attacks, he kept a wary eye on Ye Shuli, afraid that she would cause some trouble again.
However, Ye Shuli didn't give him a chance to react at all.
She flashed and appeared before Elder Wu like a ghost, her long sword carrying a sharp sword aura, aiming straight for his heart.
"Is this all you've got? You dare to be arrogant in front of me?" Ye Shuli's tone was icy, tinged with disdain.
Elder Wu quickly dodged, but was still cut on the arm by the sword energy, and blood gushed out instantly.
"Damn brat!" he roared, and the black magic weapon in his hand emitted an eerie light again, trying to suck Ye Shuli in.
But this time, Ye Shuli was prepared.
The jade pendant in her hand emitted a soft light, forming a protective shield that blocked all of Elder Wu's attacks.
"A mere trick, yet you dare to show off your skills before an expert?" Ye Shuli sneered, brandishing her longsword once more, the sword energy crisscrossing, forcing Elder Wu to retreat repeatedly.
In the midst of the fierce fight, Ye Shuli's gaze inadvertently swept over Jiang Ye. Their eyes met, and her eyes were filled with determination and love, as if to say, "Wait for me, I will definitely win!"
Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat, and a warm current surged through his body. He seemed to feel Ye Shuli's love, and his heart was filled with strength.
He clenched his fists tightly, silently cheering her on in his heart: "Li'er, I believe in you!"
Ye Shuli felt Jiang Ye's support, and her eyes became even more determined. She wielded her long sword even more fiercely, as if she wanted to vent all her anger on Elder Wu.
"Prepare to die!" she roared, her longsword slashing down with devastating force towards Elder Wu...
Elder Wu stared wide-eyed in terror. He sensed the approach of death and tried to dodge, but found his body bound by an invisible force, unable to move.
"No..." he let out a desperate roar, then his voice abruptly stopped.
Ye Shuli sheathed her longsword, slowly walked up to Jiang Ye, and reached out to gently stroke his face.
"I'm fine..." she said softly.
Jiang Ye held her hand tightly against his face, feeling her warmth, and his heart was filled with happiness and emotion.
Suddenly, Ye Shuli's gaze fell on the jade pendant. "This jade pendant..." she murmured to herself, as if she had discovered some secret...
Ye Shuli's body felt as if it had been infused with boundless energy, with streams of heat surging through her. She felt as if she had become a small sun, radiating dazzling light. Golden light enveloped her entire body, and she felt more powerful than ever before.
The surrounding air was distorted by this force, making a "hissing" sound, like tiny needles pricking the eardrums.
An immense pressure swept out like a tsunami, causing the surrounding trees to bend over, as if to submit to her feet.
"What the hell is going on?" Young Master Lin couldn't help but curse as he looked at the strange phenomenon on Ye Shuli's body. This girl always manages to come up with something new, making it impossible to guard against.
Young Master Su was also filled with shock. He had always thought he knew her well enough, but he found that what he saw was only the tip of the iceberg.
Elder Wu watched helplessly as Ye Shuli's aura surged, his expression instantly shifting from smugness to terror.
He felt an unprecedented sense of crisis, as if he were facing not a person, but an awakened ancient behemoth.
Ye Shuli's lips curled into a cold smile. She slowly raised her hand, her palm gathering a powerful force that was so bright it was blinding.
She lightly touched the ground with her toes and rushed towards Elder Wu like an arrow released from a bow, so fast that only a blur remained.
"Don't be arrogant!" Elder Wu roared, pushing the black magic weapon in his hand to its limit in an attempt to block Ye Shuli's attack.
However, in front of Ye Shuli, his magical artifacts were as fragile as paper, utterly vulnerable.
Ye Shuli slammed her palm onto the magical artifact, and with a "crack," the artifact instantly shattered into countless fragments.
Elder Wu spat out a mouthful of blood. He stared at his magical artifact in disbelief, his face as ugly as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
This was a magical artifact that he had painstakingly crafted, and it was destroyed just like that?
Ye Shuli didn't give him a chance to catch his breath. She punched Elder Wu in the chest with a loud thud. Elder Wu's body flew backward like a kite with a broken string and crashed heavily to the ground, creating a huge crater.
He struggled to stand up, but felt as if his internal organs had shifted, causing him unbearable pain and making it impossible for him to exert any strength.
"This... how is this possible?" The surrounding cultivators exclaimed in surprise. The strength that Ye Shuli had displayed had completely exceeded their understanding.
"She's amazing!" Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli's figure, his eyes filled with admiration and pride. His Li'er will always be the best!
Ye Shuli slowly walked towards Elder Wu, each step feeling like it was treading on Elder Wu's heart, filling him with immense fear.
She looked down at him with cold eyes, as if she were looking at a dead man.
"I...I..." Elder Wu opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but found that his throat was blocked and he could not make any sound.
He could only watch helplessly as Ye Shuli slowly raised the longsword in her hand, its tip gleaming with a cold light, like the scythe of death.
Ye Shuli's lips curled slightly upward, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. "The game is over!" As soon as she finished speaking, she swung her longsword down, aiming directly at Elder Wu's throat...
With a flash of sword light and a splatter of blood, Elder Wu's pleas for mercy came to an abrupt halt, deflated completely like a punctured balloon.
Ye Shuli sheathed her sword with fluid, graceful movements, exuding a cool and valiant air.
She glanced at Elder Wu, who lay sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud, a disdainful smile playing on her lips, and said coldly, "From now on, you can no longer threaten me!"
Her words were firm and resounding, echoing in the air with a chilling pressure.
The surrounding crowd fell silent, utterly still, with only heavy breathing and the rustling of leaves in the wind.
A faint smell of blood and the stench of gunpowder filled the air, stimulating everyone's senses.
They looked at Ye Shuli.
"Holy crap, this woman is too fierce! She took down Elder Wu in one move, she's practically a human Gundam!"
"Yeah, yeah! I thought she was just a pretty face, but I never expected her to be a hidden powerhouse!"
"Looks like I'll have to avoid her from now on. I can't afford to mess with her!"
"I hereby declare that Ye Shuli is my newest idol, and I'm going to give her a huge shout-out!"
The surrounding chatter rose and fell like a pot of boiling porridge, making one's ears ring.
Ye Shuli listened to these words without any emotional fluctuation.
She turned around and looked at Jiang Ye, her eyes softening instantly, like a gentle lake.
Jiang Ye was also gazing at her affectionately. Their eyes met, and no words were needed; everything was understood without being spoken.
The atmosphere between the two was so sweet it was as if pink bubbles were about to burst forth.
Young Master Lin and Young Master Su watched this scene with complicated expressions, their thoughts unreadable.
"Li'er, are you alright?" Jiang Ye quickly walked up to Ye Shuli, looking her up and down, afraid that she might be hurt in the slightest.
He carefully took her hand in his hands, kissed it, and was incredibly gentle.
"I'm fine. With you protecting me, how could anything happen to me?" Jiang Ye said with a smile, his tone teasing but mostly sweet.
The interaction between the two made those around them feel like they were being force-fed dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), their mouths filled with it, making them want to scream at the heavens in anger.
Ye Shuli smiled slightly, but how should she face Young Master Lin and Young Master Su?
And what secrets does that jade pendant hold, given the family's heritage?
Just then, the jade pendant in Ye Shuli's hand suddenly emitted a dazzling light, enveloping her entire body.
She felt a powerful force surging into her body, as if something was about to break free from its cocoon.
"What... what's going on?" Ye Shuli murmured to herself. She looked at Jiang Ye, about to ask, but found that Jiang Ye's gaze was also fixed on the jade pendant in her hand.
Jiang Ye hesitated, his brows furrowed. Suddenly, as if he had made up his mind, he slowly spoke, "Li'er, this jade pendant seems... somewhat unusual..."
