Chapter 531: Flesh No Longer

This old woman seemed to be quite well suited to dealing with him. This new form of hers was completely unaffected by physical attacks. While she was no longer surrounded by that vicious aura, Sage saw with Foresight that her attacks still carried the vicious power from before.

She had regained her mobility and was currently chasing after him. He found that without any physical form, she was extremely agile. Just like a ghost she could float about in any direction. There was no need for her to change her footing or push off the ground. No matter what evasive maneuvers he attempted to make, she would easily follow after him in the vision shown by his Foresight. Fortunately, her top speed was limited. If he moved in a straight line, she would never catch up to him.

On the downside, she didnt just follow him away. After chasing him for a short while she would stop and return to her original position, guarding the giant scorpion like shed been doing since the beginning. She seemed to know that they cared about the scorpion and also that she couldnt trap them. Since they couldnt be contained, she stopped them from escaping by threatening something they cared about.

Looking at her from a distance, they had entered something of a standoff. She couldnt catch up to him, while he didnt have any good methods of attacking her. With her transformation into some sort of spirit being, Sage lost most of his options. Usually, he was the one attacking the soul unexpectedly, but now it was like an amateur in front of a master. Even if he had a very powerful soul and strange methods for it, it didnt change the fact that he didnt have any guidance in that regard. The innate abilities of the Twin Ringed Soul Serpent were a nightmare to deal with for normal people, but against a true expert of the soul it was nothing more than a little snake. The power of Sages soul was impressive, but that just made it into a bigger snake.

The dark ghost that was now Hei Bai floated in the air above the giant scorpion. Xiezi had moved into the distance, and was waiting on a small ridge. She masked her anxiousness with the murderous look on her face, like she was just waiting for the moment to pounce. The ink-like cloud with a glowing red skull on it was staring at Sage and he was staring back. He had no idea what she was thinking, but he was currently running through every option he had to try and come up with a solution. Then, he smiled.

Not one to give the enemy time to recover, Sage opened his mouth again and this time vibrant orange flame erupted forth. It spilled out of his mouth like it had a mind of its own, but it didnt move towards Hei Bai. Instead, he tilted his head back and the orange flame seemed to gain an impetus, lunging towards the sky in a beautiful arc like a flaming ball of phlegm.

A scream echoed through the air, but far differently this time, it was the screech of a bird. A huge orange and scarlet colored bird swooped down from the sky. Its dive took it into a direct collision course with the orange flames. The truck sized vulture smashed into the orange fire and its whole ignited. The vibrant orange flame covered the huge bird and with its wings tucked into the dive it resembled a flaming meteor.

After suffering the attack from the First Light, the ball of darkness that was Hei Bai seemed unable to resist and the huge vulture smashed against it like a freight train. At the last instant, the vulture snapped out its wings and spun backwards. Its body rotated around and its legs were extended downwards. It was not a move that a vulture was known for, looking like a hawk or falcon with toes spread out to strike. More amazingly, the vulture only extended one leg, pulling the other back up. Its foot angled oddly and only one of its talons pointed at its target.

The orange flames on its body moved like a wave and gathered at the tip of that single talon. All of the force of its diving charge gathered onto that sharp point and stabbed into the eye of the red skull at the center of the dark sphere. The flames were like a sharp knife, stabbed into the darkness yet without coming out again at the other side.

Boom!

The ground beneath the dark sphere was blasted in all directions, absorbing the majority of the force created by the dive bombing vulture. The flames had allowed it to affect a purely spiritual being, but only a portion of its strength was converted. The rest of it was delivered to the ground and also back to its own body. That giant vulture was of course Tujiu. That single talon was his focus as a lancer, putting the entirety of his strength and focus into a single point. A lancer always sought to make the most destructive charge. This was a path that required a very strong body. A portion of the force delivered to a target would always be returned back to him. His early days of training had consisted of him diving head first into the ground from higher and higher altitudes until he no longer suffered any injuries. At this point, the hard ground felt like a bed of sand to him and that impact was equivalent to a hard sneeze. He felt a little sore all over, but he quickly recovered and leaped back into the air. Hed done his job and delivered that orange flame.
