Beastmaster of the Ages

“Big sis, that’s the Skycloud Soul,” Bai Huai said in a hoarse voice.

“Yes. It’s a grade-eight divine artifact that has the grade-eight Skycloud Soulcutter divine ordered pattern. All the divine hazards used to make it are grade-eight,” Bai Feng said in a low voice. Before, Ye Chen had taken out the grade-eight divine artifact, Grand Godless Liberty. However, that couldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as the Skycloud Soul.

“Attack!” They had to give it their best, or else it would be as simple as chopping vegetables for Whitejade Ying.

“It’s all or nothing!” Qiao Xingzhou shouted.

It was four versus one, so it couldn’t be said that they had zero chance. Under Bai Feng’s leadership, the four all executed their strongest moves. Two specters, one beastmaster, and one totemancer. Two stood in front to tank Whitejade Ying, while the other two fired arrows at her from behind. It was a good tactic.

“So fast!” When white light flashed on Whitejade Ying’s body, Bai Feng, who was in a chalk draconian’s true form, let out a startled exclamation.

Speed was born from the strength of one’s body, astralforce, and racial gifts, and a chalk draconian was much more cumbersome than a perfect and flawless faceless specter. Thus, it didn’t even take a moment for Ying to pass through the siblings’ blockade. For a moment, countless sword shadows of the Skycloud Soul covered Bai Feng.

“Chase!” Bai Feng turned around, but it was too late.

“Sis, let’s give up. The gap is too big,” Bai Huai weakly said.

“Shut up!” Bai Feng gave chase, her robust voice filling the ravine like a dragon’s roar. Alas, Ying sped up even faster, her targets clearly Qiao Xingzhou and Zhong Yirou.

“Sis Feng, save me!” Qiao Xingzhou was frightened. His celestial archer totems unleashed a dense hail of arrows; however, the white flash flickered with an incredible nimble grace and speed born granted by a powerful body. It was a speed that only Meow Meow in his Regal Chaosfiend state could match.

Qiao Xingzhou realized, much to his despair, that the faceless specter had already appeared in front of him. “No!” He was just about to shout in fright when the white sword had already stabbed through him, instantly causing his body to explode!

Qiao Xingzhou was out.

“Bestie!” Zhong Yirou, who was right beside him, had clearly seen it happen. The only thought in her mind right now was to immediately flee. Honestly, this was just the wondersky realm, which lacked true death. However, that was her subconscious reaction when seeing this god of death combined with the veneration they already felt.

Zhong Yirou had just turned around when the sword stabbed through her chest from behind. Her eyes turned red, but she had no choice but to accept it as her body dispersed.

“Too weak. A little unworthy to reach the third round.” That was Ying’s evaluation, which shattered Zhong Yirou’s heart even more. Most importantly, she couldn’t even rebut it.

“My Big Brother Tianming will beat you!” Even Zhong Yirou felt embarrassed by those words.

Ying didn’t even hear it, though, as Bai Feng had finally arrived. The two white women collided. Bai Feng’s body was covered in dragon scales as she brandished her weapon. She used both abilities and battle arts, suppressing Ying through sheer power for a few moments.

“You’re not that bad.” Sword light erupted from Ying’s sword. She was too agile and unpredictable, and it was clear that Bai Feng couldn’t stop her. Faceless specters seemed to be the perfect specter race. Their bodies were unrivaled when it came to speed, defense, and other areas.

Xiao’s struggle against Tianming before had only been because the most important aspect of his body had been negated, heavily hampering his combat ability. Ghost-like steps. The strength of a lifebound beast a kilometer in size. Boundless astralforce. The terrifying abilities of a faceless specter. All of it combined allowed Ying to control the rhythm of the battle.

“Sis!” That was Bai Huai’s last word before a white rain of sword strikes fell from above, riddling him full of holes.

Finally, Ying slowly drifted down and landed in front of Bai Feng. She didn’t have eyes, but Bai Feng felt like she had been seen through.

“Bai Feng, you’ve impressed me. You have valor to spare. Alas, you lack nimbleness. After the Astralium Seeking, come to Skyway Tristar. I’ll permit you to cultivate there.”

“Thank you, Princess Ying!” Bai Feng hadn’t expected to be appreciated so much. She kept her weapon, before falling to a half-kneel with a respectful expression. Even for the Violethorn Star, who were the running dogs of the faceless specters, only their apex geniuses could cultivate in Skyway Tristar. This was like opening a great door for Bai Feng’s future! It would make the Whitechalk Star behind her believe they had a chance to get closer to the faceless specters.

“Come, let’s continue and determine the victor.” Ying wagged her finger. Despite not having a face, there was still a strange sensation of her smiling.

Bai Feng deeply inhaled. Actually, she had gone slightly crazy.

“Princess Ying, Bai Feng’s life will be yours from now on.” Tianming wouldn’t be able to understand Bai Feng’s feelings towards the faceless specters. She may have rejected them before meeting them, but after meeting one, there was no way for her to push down her yearning for Skyway Monostar.

Of course, it was also partly because this particular faceless woman in front had a magical charm that Bai Feng had never imagined. It had overturned her aesthetic sense of beautiful women. In Bai Feng’s heart right now, Ying was someone who was untouchably beautiful. Perhaps not having a face allowed a person’s heart and soul to be seen much more clearly, as they only had what was inside left.

Clean, pure, peaceful, and quick-witted; that was the essence of Whitejade Ying. Honestly, Ye Lingfeng and Ying had even subverted Tianming’s impression of specters!

He had rushed over as fast as he could after knowing that Ying had breached their base. When he arrived, it was just in time to see Bai Huai being killed and Bai Feng offering her loyalty. Panting, he took his position next to the Astralis Formation, but he couldn’t resist giving Whitejade Ying several more looks due to the strange feeling in his heart.
