Gao Lan Mei tilted her head and looked at the woman with great interest. "I like you." She then suddenly declared before she disappeared from her original position and appeared in front of Li Huan! 

By reflex, Li Huan immediately jumped as far as possible away from Gao Lan Mei. 

The magical energy coming of Gao Lan Mei was dangerous enough for her to have all her defense up, more so around Ma w.a.n.g Shu. 

Add to the way Gao Lan Mei was looking at her like a silent patient snake that found its prey, and for some reason, this petrified Li Huan. 

At the back of Li Huan's mind, there seems to be a warning bell that keeps on chiming that Gao Lan Mei was not someone she could beat at this time. 

'Unacceptable!' Li Huan clenched her fists as she could not accept that possibility. However, she remembered how Fa Liwei was having difficulty when fighting with the woman as well. 

Gao Lan Mei walked toward Li Huan carelessly. An invisible force was surrounding her that seems to make her look stronger. 

'She is absorbing everything!' Li Huan finally realized what was going on and why Fa Liwei was struggling to fight with Gao Lan Mei. Even though she wanted to know where Gao Lan Mei learned the technique of absorbing energy, she would rather kill the woman instead. 

"You are a demon!" Li Huan screamed furiously. There was no need to mention how ironic that Statement was when it was coming from someone like her. A spirit that possessed another person in order to live and exist in this world

With that, Li Huan gathered all the dark impurities from the air around her and shaped them as knives,there was thousands of them and she sent them towards the direction where Gao Lan Mei was. 

Woos.h.!.+ 

Slas.h.!.+ 

The hundreds or thousands of knives. .h.i.tting and clas.h.i.+ng with the invisible force around Gao Lab Mei that had kept here safe this far and made sure that she hasn't received a single hit at all. 

Despite knowing this, Li Huan continued with her attack and poured down all the knives she had like a rain that hit the earth every second without stopping. Her goal was to delay the other woman. 

Woos.h.!.+ 

Slas.h.!.+ 

Gao Lan Mei's attacks continued, and Li Huan's strength was quickly decreasing. She could only stop, though once Fa Liwei and Fa Yuan managed to regain control of the s.p.a.ce around them. 

'd.a.m.n it! Where are they?!' Li Huan thought to herself through clenched teeth, frustration evident on her face while she scanned for her comrades. However, before Li Haun could fully see what was going on with them, Gao Lan Mei got her attention. 

"Bothersome." Gao Lan Mei said with indifference as she raised her hand. 

Then just like that, the knives that Li Huan was supposed to sent towards the Gao Lan Mei halted before the knives shook violently, and they all fell on the ground fast like gravity had pulled them to the ground forcefully. 

Before Li Huan could summon more impurities on the currently limited s.p.a.ce, Gao Lan Mei was surrounded by a very tiny, sparkling object coated with magical energy. 

Gao Lan Mei smiled brightly, before speaking with glee, "My turn." Just like what she had said, it was her turn to rain down attacks on Li Huan! 

"Aaahhh!!" Li Huan screamed both in pain and anger as Gao Lan Mei's send successive attacks on her. It was impossible to evade any of it due to its sheer number. If her knives were hundreds, Gao Lan Mei had created thousands or more! 

"Arg!" Li Huan groaned painfully as some of the object embedded her flesh, causing for the body she was using to bleed slowly. 

Li Huan ran towards one of the trees and hid from there as Li Huan dug out whatever causing her to bleed. 

Because of that, she found out the objects that hit her were shards of gla.s.s. 

"That won't help you hide, you know." Gao Lan Mei said with indifference. 

Bang! 

Baanngg!

Boom! 

Before Li Huan could escape further, the tree exploded directly behind her back! 

Li Huan's scream had caused Ma w.a.n.g Shu to regain consciousness, and she immediately began to comprehend what was going on around her. 

Seeing Gao Lan Mei seem to completely overpower Li Huan had surprised her much aside from that Fa Liwei was nowhere in sight. 

'Where the h.e.l.l is he?' Ma w.a.n.g Shu scanned the place and looked for the strongest YinYing around. 

There she found him with piles of stones behind him. Fa Liwei was shaking his head as if trying to remove the dust on his head. 

'Or he is trying to wake up?' Ma w.a.n.g Shu tried to guess. There was a possibility that since Gao Lan Mei had sent him flying towards the pile of rocks, he might be unconscious earlier for a bit. It would not take long, though, before Fa Liwie would get his wits together. 

The poison was the type that would seal the cultivators spiritual meridians and stop them using and gathering any magic or mental energy. Since the venom was potent, the antidote was only with her and it was limited. 

With this in mind, Ma w.a.n.g Shu knew she had to act now. She had to stop Fa Yuan from completing the ritual to release whoever was inside the sealed cage. 

Ma w.a.n.g Shu was thinking this because she was not aware that Gao Lan Mei was currently absorbing all energy around her. That could include the magical power from Ma w.a.n.g Shu's subordinates or the possibility of consuming her poison…
