Nine Star Burden

fur-coated parts stung in pain after being scalded by the burning fireball.

“Ah~ Ah~”

A white ray of light descended from the sky and landed on the White Ghouls that were rolling around on the ground while covering their faces.

In the snow forest, a slender humanoid behind the tree revealed a cold and menacing face.
It also had thick white fur on its body, but its face was pale, bloodless and dry like it had withered.

“Come out.” Han Jiangxue suddenly stopped moving rapidly and glided about half a meter in the snow, raking up a large amount of snow.
She then pointed her long and slender index finger at the humanoid at the boundaries of the snow forest.

The White Ghouls at the boundaries were blown away by the strong and overbearing wind.

Xia Yan pressed her hand against the burning blade while holding onto the handle with her other hand.
The White Ghouls rushed forward while their claws emitted a green glow.
They then slammed themselves against the blade, causing Xia Yan to retreat.

“You guys…” Xia Yan, who was about to fight back, felt that she was losing control of her body as she flew up into the sky and past the numerous White Ghouls that were surrounding them.
She then plunged into the snow forest not too far away.

Now that she was high above, Xia Yan finally knew who her target was!

It was the White Ghoul Witch that was also out of control and flying towards her!

1Han Jiangxue stood rooted to the ground with no emotions in her icy cold eyes.
She seemed to have forgotten that she was on a dangerous battlefield as she lowered her arms naturally and directed her hands at the two figures levitating in the sky, carefully controlling everything.

Xia Yan licked her lips as a look of wildness glowed in her eyes.
She held the handle tightly, forming a perfect arc with her arms.

At the same time, the fourth star slot in the two-handed sword Star Map also emitted a silver glow.

—Silver Star Technique: Flame Arc

 She wielded the sword and made a clean cut!

Although the distance between Xia Yan and the White Ghoul Witch was less than 20 meters, Xia Yan nonetheless hacked it with her giant blade.

At the instant that the cut was made, a reddish arc darted out of the burning sword and quickly shuttled through the dim sky, lighting up the entire world and crushing the White Ghouls’ coarse and withering bodies.

Bang!

The sound of explosions was pleasing to the ear and Xia Yan stumbled onto the ground, stabbing her sword into it as she glided forward by several meters, dragging her sword along with her.
She finally regained her balance after a while.

She raised her head and glanced at Han Jiangxue with glistening and starry eyes, seemingly trying to look out for a tinge of amazement in her eyes, but…

“Be…” Before Xia Yan could even tell her to be careful, the White Ghoul behind Han Jiangxue was hindered from its course of action.

The figure was not fast, and she could tell that he should have been paying attention to Han Jiangxue since a long time ago and did not just decide to save her all of a sudden.

 1Moreover, the figure did not keep a low profile and instead, collided with the White Ghouls while emitting a white glow.

It was none other than Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao, who had been blown away by Han Jiangxue just now, rolled around on the ground and initially wanted to catch up with Xia Yan according to plan.
He wanted to rush out of the circle, but Xia Yan was thrown into the air by Han Jiangxue.
Han Jiangxue had also stopped, and at the same time, it also seemed difficult to control Xia Yan’s and the White Ghoul Witch’s bodies because it required a steady footing and concentration.

That made Jiang Xiao panic as he frantically scurried back.
Pi Keqiu could only help Han Jiangxue defend one side and not all the attacks.

1Jiang Xiao finally managed to make it.

The White Ghouls’ sharp claws gleamed with cyan light that was similar to the one being emitted by Jiang Xiao’s fist.
The only difference was that the White Ghouls were attacking Han Jiangxue while Jiang Xiao’s target was the White Ghouls.

Jiang Xiao’s power could not stop the raging White Ghouls, but his Star Technique Green Glow was rather effective in resisting and causing the White Ghouls to retreat!

 Jiang Xiao’s fist landed directly on the White Ghoul’s liver, causing his body to slant towards the side and rebound tens of centimeters away because of the impact that caused it to change its “route”.

6With a “whoosh”, the White Ghoul flew over Han Jiangxue and brushed past her.
