The net closed up on Mo Zhenzui, reducing her scope of movement.

~CLANG~CLANG~CLANG~

The strong winds collided with the net, but were unable to blow them away this time. Since the beads were now all attached and surrounding Mo Zhenzui she was unable to repel them directly.

Instead, the net only shrank until eventually, it was only a meter away from Mo Zhenzui’s body. The only reason it hadn’t progressed further was because of the wind vortex surrounding her. 

But even that wasn’t for long, as the net kept on squeezing, putting more pressure on the vortex. The force was truly incredible as even the power of the Great Savannah Wind Fan could not resist it.

‘I cannot let it shrink more, I need to get out of here!’ Mo Zhenzui thought, but couldn’t figure out a way.

Her mind tried to find a solution but could not with the impending crisis. 

“Give up, junior. Your journey is now forfeit!” Yu Heng mocked.

But then suddenly he felt something change.

“Huh?” The pressure on the net somehow increased, but the wind vortex shrank in size.

The vortex continued to shrink until it turned into multiple smaller vortexes, allowing Mo Zhenzui to be visible. Unlike before though, her face was the epitome of cold. There was no expression on her face and it looked as still as thousand year old attic ice.

And yet, the fierceness in her eyes had only increased. 

Gone was the tenseness and frustration from the fight. Instead, it was replaced by a cold and calculative mind.

“Control… that is what I needed. Better control.” Mo Zhenzui muttered to herself.

Her immortal sense spread once more, and felt the tens of vortexes that surrounded her. She could feel the energy of each vortex as well as the power that they could display.

‘This gives better defense than a full sized vortex with barely forty percent of the immortal Qi.’ Mo Zhenzui noted.

She was in a strange state, where she knew she should feel shocked at this discovery, but still couldn’t feel like it. If it was any other time, she could consider this a great achievement and might even be on the level of enlightenment. 

But now her mind was running at a hundred paces every second, allowing her to think better than before.

No stray thought invaded her mind; only what she needed was present. 

‘Now to attack him… Need to distract him to get rid of this net,’ Mo Zhenzui reckoned.

She glanced at Yu Heng and grasped her fans firmly. She first waved the Great Savannah Blaze Fan, generating plumes of fire that escaped from the gaps of the net. The plumes of fire traveled several meters in a straight line before spreading out.

“What?!” Yu Heng was surprised as he had not expected this kind of retaliation.

~BOOM~BOOM~BOOM~

The plumes of fire struck the ground where Yu Heng had stood, creating small explosions. But the man could still dodge them in time and only faced the shock waves. 

‘How can she counteract? I can’t even withdraw the metal beads…’ Yu Heng wondered.

Mo Zhenzui on the other hand, observed and analyzed her recent attack, finding it to be lacking.ραпdα `nᴏνɐ| сom

“Weak and wasteful. It needs to be more efficient!” She said as a new thought appeared in her mind.

As if she had been enlightened, she switched around her fans, holding the red fan in her left and the green fan in her right hand. Then she spread open the red fan full, letting flames blaze on it.

~SHUA~

The flames expanded and covered the entirety of the fan’s body before a more immortal Qi was injected into it.

“What’s she doing?” The people in the audience were taken along for the spin.

“Is that… is that a crossbow?”

“It really is!” they finally saw the change in the fan.

In Mo Zhenzui’s hand, the red fan had flames burning on it that had taken the shape of a crossbow. But the crossbow was missing a few components, such as the handle and the string.

The handle didn’t really matter, as Mo Zhenzui was holding it using her hand while also using her Immortal sense to control it. She didn’t really need her hand to hold it either, as her immortal sense would still be able to manipulate the fan.

But the critical component that was the bow string was still missing.

~SHUA~

This energy was none other than Wind elemental immortal Qi that soon transformed into constructs. First, it turned into a cord that linked to the two arms of the flaming crossbow, then a cone of swirling wind took place in the center.

This cone swirled and pulled in the flames, turning it into a bolt that perfectly fit the crossbow.

“This’ll do for now.” Mo Zhenzui said while her opponent was left confused.

~TWANG~

The sound of an elastic string being released was heard as a fiery bolt shot out from the two fans. The bolt passed through the gaps in the net and reached Yu Heng in the blink of an eye.

The speed of the bolt was too high and the man could only dodge enough so that his vitals were avoided.

“ARGH!” Still, the man’s defenses were pierced and a hole was now burned into his shoulder.

~TWANG~TWANG~TWANG~

But by the time he could recover, there more bolts were a shop, each with the same speed.

Lin Mu who was watching it all, was both impressed and surprised.

‘The Severing Heart Sutra got rid of her anxiety and doubt, allowing her to come up with better abilities and optimize her Qi usage.’ Lin Mu thought.

The reason why Mo Zhenzui had suddenly improved was none other than the Severing Heart Sutra!
