Chapter 390: A new kind of beast!
As she was watching over them, a sudden presence caught her senses, and her eyebrow arched in amusement.
"Something powerful."
She turned her gaze in a direction and glanced at the top of the broken building "Hm?"
*gasp* Her breath caught in her throat in dread, feeling a powerful gaze glaring deep at her soul and her body trembled in fear.
"I-I can\'t move my body?"
Her gaze narrowed and a golden glint passed through her eyes "Damn this..."
*swoosh* As astral energy bursts out of her body, she can again feel her limbs and clench her fist.
Huh? What was that I felt just now? I was paralyzed?
She raised her head to look at the building and saw a pair of pink eyes glancing down at her.
*swish* Ning Xue dashed through the air, inching close to check about the astral beast "Is this the powerful beast controlling all other astral beasts?"
*sleesh* *sleesh* But suddenly out of nowhere, a series of pink slashes hurled towards her and sensing this, Ning Xue quickly dodged them mid air.
Her eyesbrow squinted in thought "I can\'t sense the beast\'s presence..."
This left her confused because she is at the pinnacle of the transient realm and is more powerful than the astral beasts in this middle star.
A wild guess appeared in her mind \'Maybe... someone from the high stars has already invaded this planet?\'
*swoosh* Hearing the sound of something slicing through the air, she quickly turned her head and glanced at the image hurling toward her, leaving a pink trail.
Huh? A woman? Ning Xue\'s eyes wavered in shock, looking at the beautiful mature woman with long pink hair and pink eyes, with a hynotizing smile dancing on her lips.
*swish* With a pink blur, Yao Lian appeared in front of Ning Xue and waved her hand, her claws outstretched.
Five pink slashes condensed from her claws and burst towards Ning Xue, cleaving through the air.
Ning Xue quickly reacted and golden flames swirled out of her body "Inferno tempest.."
A mutter escaped her lips and the air around her ignited in golden flames as a swirl of powerful flames appeared in the air.
*thrasshhhh* The roaring sound of flames filled the air as they surged forward in a vortex, engulfing the oncoming barrage of slashes and consuming them completely.
"Hoh? Bearer of an Empyreal flame, heh. That\'s quite rare."
Ning Xue took a moment to look at the woman floating in front of her. The woman is wearing pinkish white robes covering her whole body, with a playful smile on her lips and what caught her interest are the two bumps on her head.
Fox ears? Ning Xue suddenly remembered her old talks with Freya Everglade when she was so curious about these high stars.
Since Freya Everglade is an elf, Ning Xue\'s curiosity piqued and she asked Freya Everglade if there were any weird humans like her in other high stars.
At that time she said....
Ning Xue glanced at the fox woman and asked "I didn\'t expect that people from Yasheng star would visit our lowly middle star."
Hm? Yao Lian\'s eyes condensed and the playfulness in her voice disappeared. "How do you know about my star? I thought that people in this middle star are bums."
"Oh... well, seems like we can\'t really call this star a middle star anymore, it has evolved into a high star."
Ning Xue\'s eyebrows frowned \'Is she the only one here from their star? I can\'t sense anyone else. Another good thing is that she still hasn\'t stepped into the Empyreal realm.\'
\'She is still in the half-step Empyreal stage just like me, so I can take on her.\'
Yao Lian gripped her fingers and her lips twitched in exasperation "I won\'t let you guys be alive for ruining my fun time..."
As she muttered, numerous pink orbs appeared around her, each sparkling with pink lightning as they floated around her.
*swish* All the orbs spread in different directions and seeing this Ning Xue was confused.
"From right."
She quickly moved dodging the pink orb and she didn\'t have time to react as she was instantly attacked by another orb from an unexpected angle.
*sleesh* She again dodged that orb but before she could make her next move, she was again attacked by a pink orb.
"Flame wall!"
With a burst of golden flames, an enormous wall appeared, bursting the pink lightning orbs around her.
*swish* Leaving a blur, Yao Lian appeared in front of Ning Xue and pink energy condensed in her palm as she thrust her palm at Ning Xue aiming to strike her with a powerful surge of energy.
Ning Xue hurriedly crossed her arms to parry her strike, but the next attack caused her eyes to shrink in shock.
Yao Lian\'s hand passed right through her hands and the fox woman\'s whole body passed through her as if she were a ghost.
Huh? Ning Xue hurriedly turned her head to look at Yao Lian and before she could react, Yao Lian thrust her palm at Ning Xue\'s back.
*feeen* A pink blast erupted from her palm and Ning Xue was blasted away, her body hurtling through the air, contorting and twisting as she was propelled away from the force of the blast.
"Urghhh!" Ning Xue let out a frustrated groan as she clenched her teeth, quickly adjusting her body to maintain her balance in the air. She glanced down at herself, noticing wisps of hot steam rising from her body.
"Ahh... my muscles are still tingling from that attack. So she can pass through objects, it seems..."
*flick* In the next instant, Yao Lian reappeared in front of Ning Xue and seeing this, Ning Xue\'s gaze narrowed \'And this speed as if she is teleporting...\'
Yao Lian slashed her claws at her but Ning Xue narrowly dodged her slash and saw the playful smile on Yao Lian\'s lips.
\'Hell fire chains...\'
*clankkk* Chains forged of pure gold and ablaze with golden flames materialized out of thin air, forming a tight ring around Yao Lian, trapping her within their fiery grasp from every angle.
*clank* *clank* The blazing chains swiftly entrapped Yao Lian as they wrapped around his arm and legs restraining him from moving.
A smile stretched across Ning Xue\'s lips and Yao Lian\'s ears shivered, sensing an incoming attack.
*sleesh* A pair of sharp blades slashed through the air but the two blades passed through Yao Lian\'s body and at the same time, the Hell fire chains also loosened around her.
"What? What did this bitch do?" Zahra Ashante screamed because her dagger passed right through Yao Lian\'s body.
Yu Hua\'s eyes narrowed and she muttered "My blade went through her body...?"
Huh? But Ning Xue was confused seeing that her Hell Fire chains ability is still there active and she understood this fox woman\'s trick.
Yao Lian glanced at the two new women who just appeared and squinted her eyes.
