Wait… I’m a Druid in a Cultivation World?! - Chapter 136

During this time, Ya Ya’s body had grown to be somewhat larger than an eagle’s. With its wings spread, it was only slightly smaller than Qi Ping with his arms outstretched.

Although Ya Ya had remained at the peak of the First Order during this period, the strength of its physique had been steadily increasing due to the stacking of various resources. Its body of glossy black feathers also held astonishing defensive power.

After layering numerous resources, its innate spirit fire—already stronger than that of a typical Sunfire Crow—had elevated the defensive capabilities of Ya Ya’s entire body to a new level.

It was under such circumstances that Qi Ping dared to let Ya Ya face the Demonic Mirage Sect’s gifted witch alone.

“An ambushing helper too? And not in our intelligence? A Sunfire Crow? Quite a fine spirit beast, but for a mere feathered creature to face me alone is simply suicidal!”

Seeing a Sunfire Crow daring to block her path, the Demonic Mirage Sect’s gifted witch let out a cold laugh. Nine short swords, brimming with intense demonic will, flew rapidly from various parts of her body, forming a battle array to surround and kill Ya Ya.

Although the killing intent of her sword array’s attacks was not as terrifying as the Slaughter Sword Intent of a Seven Stars Sword Sect disciple, and its sword energy wasn’t as sharp, its formidable demonic will and powerful aura were incomparable to the Slaughter Sword Intent.

The oppressive force of the sword array far surpassed that of a single spirit sword, and its angles of attack were more cunning and impossible to guard against!

Thus, as those nine spirit swords, seething with demonic will and rolling with demonic energy, bore down to suppress it, a look of seriousness appeared in Ya Ya’s eyes.

Facing such an extraordinarily powerful gifted witch, Ya Ya dared not underestimate its foe in the slightest. As the spiritual energy within its spirit body surged, its innate spirit fire transformed into terrifying spiritual flames, instantly covering its entire body!

Then, without any fear, Ya Ya charged towards the Demonic Mirage Sect witch. While using its advantage in flight speed to evade the sword array, it continuously closed in on her.

Although Ya Ya was confident that its body, tempered day and night by its innate spirit fire, solar power, and Fire Glow Honey, could withstand this sword array, it wasn’t foolish enough to clash head-on with it. Getting close to this witch and killing her was the proper course of action.

Only once in close quarters would its innate spirit fire and powerful physique become its greatest advantages! For most spirit beasts, their strongest combat is close-quarters fighting!

The battle ignited in an instant!
Ya Ya, enduring the impact of some of the short swords, swiftly closed in on the Demonic Mirage Sect witch.

As the short swords imbued with powerful demonic will were about to strike Ya Ya, its innate spirit fire instantly surged forth, colliding with those demonic energy-soaked spirit swords. Loud explosions and crashing sounds immediately rang out.

As a natural fire-attribute spirit beast, Ya Ya’s bloodline-given control over fire was in no way inferior to many fire-attribute cultivation techniques and flame-control methods. Especially after receiving Qi Ping’s guidance and the transmission of experiential techniques, and through deliberate training, the impact and offensive power of its innate spirit fire’s eruptions had become stronger than many fire-attribute spells.

This was the advantage of a spirit beast’s bloodline—they possessed an innate, powerful mastery over their own strength. Otherwise, many cultivators’ spells wouldn’t be inspired by various spirit beasts.

Therefore, when Ya Ya’s innate spirit fire clashed with those demonic-will spirit swords, they actually erupted in a deadlock of equal power!

Even if an occasional spirit sword managed to break through Ya Ya’s innate spirit fire, its power was greatly reduced and was stopped by its defensively strong black feathers.

“How can it be this strong?”

After a round of combat, the Demonic Mirage Sect witch’s expression changed slightly. The strength of this Sunfire Crow completely exceeded her expectations.

She wasn’t inexperienced in fighting this type of spirit beast. There was a beast-taming cultivator in the Demonic Mirage Sect who had a Sunfire Crow, and she had fought that one before. Back then, it took her considerable effort to seriously injure that Sunfire Crow!

So, when facing Ya Ya this time, she hadn’t been careless in the slightest. Yet Ya Ya’s power shocked her.

“Its innate spirit fire, feather defense, and speed are all superior to that Sunfire Crow in our sect… Damn it… Where did this spirit beast come from? Why doesn’t it appear in the intelligence at all?”

At this point, the Demonic Mirage Sect witch’s face began to darken. She was starting to realize that things were beginning to slip out of her control.

It was also at this moment that Ya Ya, after colliding with the demonic-will sword array multiple times and going through several twists and turns, finally closed in on the Demonic Mirage Sect witch.

It had to admit that this witch’s demonic-will sword array was extremely extraordinary. It had taken great effort and multiple collisions with the array to gradually get close.

Fortunately, while the witch’s sword array was strong, it was just right restraint by Ya Ya.

First, the array’s flexibility and attacks from various angles were met with Ya Ya’s body covered in innate spirit fire and hard feathers all over. Vulnerable spots like its eyes were, as Qi Ping had long demanded, defended by even stronger spirit fire, and its agile body was certainly not a stationary target.

Second, how could that powerful demonic will possibly intimidate Ya Ya, who possessed Golden Crow bloodline and continuously comprehended solar power? Added to the countless times it had comprehended Qi Ping’s Fire Intent, it was even less likely to be intimidated by simple demonic will.

If Qi Ping or Meng Yan were to face this witch, they might not have as much of an advantage as Ya Ya.

It was under these conditions, plus the interference of the peak First Order formation, that Ya Ya barely managed to get close to the witch and unleashed its most frenzied assault!
The battle most advantageous to Ya Ya officially began!
Sunfire impacts, explosions, scorching!
Claws and beak, also covered in Sunfire, pressed in close!

After being subjected to Ya Ya’s close-quarters frenzied attacks, the Demonic Mirage Sect witch experienced Ya Ya’s assault firsthand for the first time.

Faced with Ya Ya’s madness, the Demonic Mirage Sect witch remained calm in the face of danger. While manipulating the sword array, she unleashed a succession of powerful offensive and defensive spells one after another, revealing the tip of the iceberg of a major sect’s heritage.

With these powerful spells combined with the demonic sword array, Ya Ya also began to look somewhat disheveled. It even started to sustain injuries like the witch, with many of its feathers broken and blood beginning to flow.

However, compared to Ya Ya, the Demonic Mirage Sect witch was in a more miserable state. Her originally charming hair was completely scorched, and many parts of her body bore severe lacerations and burns.

After another round of high-intensity battle between the two, the Demonic Mirage Sect witch finally could no longer hold on and was burned alive!

“No!”

With a shrill scream, the renowned genius witch of the Demonic Cloud Sect, who had comprehended demonic intent, was forcefully killed by Ya Ya!

She could never have imagined that she, a genius of the new Demonic Mirage Sect generation, would be defeated by a spirit beast!
However, Ya Ya was not in good shape after slaying the witch either. Countless feathers were broken, and its aura plummeted the moment the fight ended.

If this witch hadn’t been restraint by it and hadn’t been interfered with by the formation, the difficulty of killing her would not have been low. Her strength was truly fearsomely powerful.

Even so, the resolute and fierce fighting spirit in Ya Ya’s eyes showed not the slightest sign of diminishing!
Also, the moment Ya Ya ended its fight, with an earth-shattering roar, the ground instantly shook violently, cracking open countless terrifying fissures.

At the center of those fissures lay a pile of shattered flesh and bones, along with a broken wooden sword!

Beside him stood a towering figure, wielding a large hammer with fresh flesh still clinging to its tip.

The gifted swordsman from the Seven Stars Sword Sect, who carried the blood-stained wooden sword, had been defeated! The wooden sword he had nourished for years was completely broken!
