Chapter 14: Nie Zili versus guardians
*chuckle*
"Split my head open?" Nie Zili repeated in a mocking tone. Her eyes darted to the back and saw something.
"Why aren't you doing it now?" She asked in a challenging tone.
Teng Fulong points his burning finger to attack the brat when,
"Don't fall to his trap, he is planning something," said Teng Fushou on the side, alert and observing his surrounding. They also thought she's a man.
Nie Zili only snorted and made another chuckle. Her hands conjured a thunder lightning shape of a spear.
"You shouldn't have stopped him. You could've defeated me with that one shot, but now..."
All of the sudden, like an aura. A formation appeared in every direction. The skins of every guardian shuddered, for they were not familiar with this kind of formation.
Nie Zili's pupil and Iris became smaller, and with great strength, she threw twelve spears to the four guardians of young masters.
"YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE!!"
Her attack split shocks the air with a rumbling thunderbolt. It spreads wide in four different directions. Four to the Lin Family guardians and eight to the Teng family guardians.
"Overestimating yourself brat."
"So slow."
"I don't know your deal, but you're pissing me off."
"Are you serious?"
They were ready. Lin Pang is going to evade, and so is Lin Hal. The Thunder aura is super effective to them because their symbiosis transformation is steel and wind.
But Teng Fushou and Teng Fulong were planning something different to keep the kid open along with his attack. They conjured their hands with the green light of solar energy flame.
The enemy, however, gave them a confident smile. Instantly, their expression changed.
"RAAAAGHHHHH!!!
"KRAAAAWWWW!!!!
"RAAAGGHHHH!!!!
"KRAAWWWWW!!!"
Obliterating pain was felt inside them, and then they noticed that the bug beasts that were connected were slowly ripping themselves away from their cultivator master.
"What is happening?"
"What's going on?!"
"What is this!?"
"It f*cking hurts,"
When the heads of bug beasts were separated from their masters, a thunderbolt lightning spear landed, splitting them open. If one is not enough, two will come until their bug beast's partners die and make them as their masters or cultivators scream of writing pain.
On a random mountainside place, full of straw houses. Cultivators fell one by one. All of them have energy slipping away, fading inside them because they are just low-level cultivators.
Nie Zili closed her eyes, and with a thankful smile, she mutters silently,
'Thank you, everyone, I won't be able to use that ripping ability without the help of sacrificing a bit of cultivation. I swear, I saved all of you, and the tide of bug beasts won't repeat ever again.
'It's not done yet.
'Those families! The Teng Family is negligible and can be ignored after this event but the Lin Family, I don't know how deep their family is. I became helpless when they kept rising on top of this world in my last life.
'Lin Baal that eventually became a bloodthirsty, arrogant, and murder machine after he, the only one of his brothers to ever become a symbiotic cultivator. He is lucky. I'm in need of resources and was in a good mood when I met him last time, so I spared him.
'But I already cut off his path. If I didn't steal the treasure heart mantis, he would have the nine mantis sect by his back because he tamed the legendary mantis from the nine mantis sect.
'We killed him after scheming and sacrificing a lot of my brother's lives. This time, I will kill him again, sacrificing no one! After stealing his treasure mantis heart, I'm sure won't reign terror again. However, the real problem is,
'Lin Gu, the strongest of their clan. Because his favorite son died after sacrificing everything, making him a symbiotic cultivator, Lin Gu succumbed to depression. But one day he became a Symbiotic Bloodline cultivator. That is when he became too strong for me to contend against with,
'I'm not sure if I can survive if I go against him right now. But I will find out the strength behind their family. And it's soon...'
Snapping her back to reality, she hears the Lin Family branch members or young master Lin's guardians say,
"What did you do to us?!"
Nie Zili looked down on them, and then she says a devastating word,
"You are back to being a normal cultivator." Nie Zili's tone of speaking was so cold, but to the guardians, it's different.
The guardian stared in shock as Nie Zili explains to them,
"I use my ability to rip heart formation to all of you. Inside the formation, once it's activated. Your bug beasts would try to leave your body for a moment and before they went back, I killed them. It's a technique I copied from a beast stronger than the normal Legendary category."
The faces of the guardians turned ashen.
"What?"
"What do you mean?!"
"No, did my bug beast just die?"
"I became a normal cultivator?"
Seeing and hearing their cries of disbelief,
'Hypocrites, all of you are not afraid to die, but you all want to commit genocide to mortals. Your shamelessness knows no bounds.'
Nie Zili suddenly transforms into her symbiotic form, and with a menacing smile, she added,
"All of you are now just normal cultivators. But don't worry, I'm not done, and I still have to cripple you all down to become a mortal. Weaker than mortals."
A mortal should naturally and not be forced, develop any kind of mental illness. Once they overcome it, they could get into the path of Cultivation by having a human aura. Cultivators, however, can only make two times stronger than normal humans at the first stage or starting point of the Qi Pollination cultivator.
If they form a symbiotic relationship with bug beasts, however, they would become ten times stronger than normal humans. Eight times greater than normal cultivators. It would be doubled if their bug beast inside them entered evolution, depending on how many evolutions their bug beast experienced.
So being reduced to normal cultivators would be unbearable. What more of mortals?
"Get up, let's fight back."
Lin Family guardian Lin Pang said to Lin Hal, which nodded. There's no time for them to feel devastated,
'Going back to normal cultivators? No problem, our young master can develop an aura despite not having a symbiotic relationship with any bug beast. That's not a problem, we have a chance. But we can't accept going back to being mortals!
'We gotta go back to being a cultivator at least. There's a chance as long as we serve the young master well. We will gain another aura.'
"The two of you, get up and fight back." Said to Lin Hal, they need to be wary because the enemy is coming.
'He is stronger than the four of us even if we are in a mid-pollination establishment. But if we fight back seriously, we won't win and our chance is only thirty to seventy percent. But if we try, we could escape this if we cooperate.'
Lin Hal turned his attention towards Teng's family guardians and when he saw them,
"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TWO DOING!?"
He shouted at them, but the two individuals didn't flinch and only looked at him slowly.
"We have no more chances. Our young master will surely kill us. If we come back with crippled cultivation, destroyed but beast symbiosis, and the treasure. He will torture us until our mortal body cannot withstand the torture."
Lin Hal could only imagine what kind of situation they were in. 'If we ever come back, will young master accept us again?' he thought.
"DON'T JUST STAND THERE! LEAVE THEM ALONE, HE'S COMING!"
Lin Hal was snapped back to reality by Lin Pang's scream as he turned his attention and watched the enemy come close from the mid air.
Nie Zili observes them. Her speed was a little fast, and she was a little perplexed by what she was seeing.
'The Lin Family wants to fight? Are they not scared of their young master? They were reduced to that state? Impressive Lin family. You've got loyal servants.'
Suddenly, the guardian took out something, and with a puff, the whole area was covered by dark grey smoke instantly,
"Aura weapons? As expected of the Lin Family. They even give servants these kinds of gifts. Unfortunately, I will take them both."
In this world, if ever a symbiotic was reduced to a normal cultivator, they can still use weapons that can rival symbiotic cultivators' attacks and the defense called Aura weapons.
But the cost of their cultivator aura or spirit would be too high. They are releasing a higher form of aura from the weapon.
"It's useless. I will get rid of you two first."
A voice was heard from the smoke and then the Lin Family duo felt something.
"Electromagnetic clearer!"
All of the sudden, the smoke and dust were cleared instantly by some electromagnetic power to the ground.
Lin Pang and Lin Hal were so exhausted, they already used their human aura just to activate the dust. They are planning to suck the energy of the Teng family duo and escape, but alas...
"None shall escape," said seriously Nie Zili after she cleared the smokescreen.
