Roleplay As Cultivator
28: It is not over

Tian Jie managed to slightly recover himself. He tried to get up and stand up but his body still could not be balanced. He gave up and just sat down to look at Huang Qingyue's fight.

“Qingyue .. “

From Tian Jie's observation, it was certain that Huang Qingyue was able to handle that Undead Knight. The fire spiritual energy emanating from Huang Qingyue's body was almost at the level of a spiritual core cultivator. He questioned where Huang Qingyue got such strength.

“What should you pay for that power Qingyue ?”

“Are you hiding your strength all this time”

Huang Qingyue's battle with the Undead Knight grew increasingly heated. The air around became very hot when the two clashed. Huang Qingyue's fire spiritual energy was smoldering beyond the techniques Tian Jie had used.

“Will he be fine - fine ?”

Finally Huang Qingyue used her ultimate technique. A tornado of fire raged powerfully before Tian Jie's eyes. Then he saw Huang Qingyue and the Undead Knight flying through the air. Huang Qingyue launched a streak of attacks and ended with a powerful downward kick.

The flames from the impact of the kick exploded in all directions.

Tian Jie raised his right hand forward and prepared a defense.

“Magic Shield (1)”

The invisible shield protected Tian Jie from the spreading explosion of flames. When the flames started to shrink he saw Huang Qingyue standing in the middle of the explosion marks.

“Qingyue ..”

Hearing his name being called Huang Qingyue turned her head towards Tian Jie and began to approach.

Tian Jie was shocked to see Huang Qingyue's condition.His face was pale with blood still flowing from his nose. His normally glowing red eyes were now replaced with lifeless black eyes. The fiery aura on both his hands and feet disappeared leaving behind a black leg as it was filled with burns.

Huang Qingyue walked up right in front of Tian Jie. He put out a smile on his lips.

“I succeeded .. beat it .. Tian Ji.”

Huang Qingyue lost consciousness and finally collapsed.

Tian Jie swiftly caught up and hugged him. He could still feel the residual heat spiritual energy from Huang Qingyue's body.

“Why you .. “

He looked at Huang Qingyue's face closely. Then clasped Huang Qingyue's wrist.

‘INI .. ‘

The meridian network on both his hands and feet had already collapsed. His dantian contained a fire spiritual energy that was with high concentration. It was not good if Huang Qingyue could not control it because it could burn the remaining meridians in her body. It would be better if this dantian was destroyed and formed from scratch again.

Tian Jie was a little relieved, at least Huang Qingyue's life could still be saved.

“Her damaged meridians may still be curable”

“But the herbs and techniques needed to do that will not be easy to get”

Tian Jie laid Huang Qingyue beside him. Then he tried to stand up again. Although his balance was still not perfect he did not fall down like before.

“ugh”

“Looks like I still can't move freely”

Tian Jie stretched out his hands and made yoga movements to restore his body condition. Less than ten minutes passed as Tian Jie managed to regain some of his strength. He clasped and opened his palm with a smile.

“At least I'm not shaking like I was”

Tian Jie then lifted Huang Qingyue onto his shoulders.

“You've put in a lot of effort Qingyue”

“Let's go back and treat your mother”

“ ... ah your sister too, I forgot”

Tian Jie followed in the footsteps of the direction Huang Qingyue had come from. He walked until he arrived under the crater wall.

“Now how to ride it ?”

As Tian Jie was still thinking of how to ascend, suddenly he felt an extremely powerful killing intent from behind him. He turned around with a panicked face.

“Cannot”

A black-colored armor walked over. His left chest was hollow and he moved without a head. A green-colored flame could be seen blazing within the cavity of the former neck of the armor. In the green fire, there is also a shadow of a skull that replaces a lost helmet.

Tian Jie was out of words. The Undead Knight in front of him was extremely abnormal. Usually the Undead had a core that if destroyed would make the Undead unable to move anymore. The core is also usually located between the former heart or head of the Undead. But this Undead Knight after his heart and head were destroyed could still move.

‘Cannot’

‘Do not - do this Undead Knight combine undead curse with animate object’

The undead curse is a common spell used to wake the undead by a necromancer. While animate objects are spells that make inanimate objects can move like living things.

‘If that's true, then the only way to kill him is to destroy his entire body’

The Undead Knight began to run rapidly closer towards Tian Jie while dragging his greatsword. His body that had just been hit by an attack from Huang Qingyue was like it was not affected by anything except his lost head.

‘it seems like no other way’

Tian Jie put Huang Qingyue to the ground.

“Looks like we can't run from here Qingyue”

“I can't beat this Undead Knight completely”

“But I will try to make him unable to move anymore”

“You just wait here”

Tian Jie took out two short swords that he held in both hands.

“I've always wanted to try using a double sword like this”

“Lets go”

Tian Jie also dashed towards the Undead Knight. Confrontation is inevitable.

The Undead Knight swung his sword horizontally and greeted Tian Jie with a jump to dodge. Tian Jie countered the attack.

“Arcane strike - Create flame (1)”

A short sword slash covered in flames struck the Undead Knight's right arm. The armor on the Undead Knight's right arm was slightly cut off from the drag. But suddenly the Undead Knight reversed the direction of the attack from his sword.

Tian Jie who had not had time to use defensive spells could only withstand the attack with his two swords. He bounced back and his hands trembled a little.

“kuh, Still not”

Tian Jie pointed the short sword in his left hand towards the Undead Knight.

“Lightning spark (cantrip 1)”

A small lightning bolt grabbed the Undead Knight, but he still lunged forward towards Tian Jie. The Undead Knight raised his greatsword with both hands and used a vertical attack.

Tian Jie crossed his two short swords and resisted the attack. But because of the heavy thrust of the attack it made Tian Jie duck down and his left knee hit the ground.

“KUGH”

Tian Jie narrowed his eyes.

“SHADOW MOVEMENT”

Tian Jie's body was shrouded in shadow, quickly sinking into the shadows under his feet.

The great sword of the Undead Knight struck the ground fiercely. The Undead Knight was a little shocked to lose its attack target. But from behind him arrived - there was a light in the electric spark.

bzzzt~ bzzzt~ bzzzt~

“Arcane strike - Thunder grasp (level 1)”

Tian Jie swung the short sword in his right hand. The short sword that was fed by lightning struck the Undead Knight's right arm and managed to cut it off. The sound of thunder resounding very strongly resounded within the crater. The short sword was also instantly shattered due to the side effects of arcane strike.

The Undead Knight who had just been hit by a deadly attack twisted his body to the right as if paying no heed to his fallen right hand. He smashed into Tian Jie with his left hand.

BAM~

Tian Jie was thrown once again and rolled on the ground. His right arm was broken by the impact and hung limp. He rose up from the ground and showed a sharp look in his eyes. He pointed the tip of the short sword in his left hand towards the Undead Knight.

“It's not over”
