Chapter 557 - 564: Fighting Gong Ye

Liu Lan Yi instinctively moved to block, but Song Wanning, with her quick reflexes, yanked her back and immediately brandished the Immortal Furnace, lunging toward Gong Ye.

The Immortal Furnace directly repelled the force of the massive palm. The resulting shockwave rattled the surrounding Water Prison cells and startled the other prisoners.

At that moment, everyone was hoping Song Wanning could slay Gong Ye.

The massive commotion also instantly caught the attention of the guards outside.

The main doors burst open as subordinates from the Hundred Demons Palace rushed in. Seeing Song Wanning’s sudden appearance, their hearts chilled, and they charged the women without a second thought.

’Someone had snuck in, and they, the guards on duty, had been completely unaware. They didn’t dare to imagine the consequences.’

’Their only chance at survival was to fight with everything they had.’

In an instant, Song Wanning and her two companions were completely surrounded.

"Martial Aunt, you two must go first!"

She urged Liu Lan Yi again, then with a slash of her Longsword, a beam of sword light flashed out, cutting toward the approaching Demon Cultivators.

BOOM—

The immense power of her Sword Dao True Realm instantly enveloped them all.

Song Wanning didn’t linger. She pressed forward, flashing directly behind Gong Ye and swinging a fist at his back.

Gong Ye spun around with a sneer. Seeing Song Wanning so recklessly overconfident, he simply raised a hand to block.

He had expected to send Song Wanning flying with ease, perhaps even obliterate her with a single palm strike. Who would have thought that the impact would send him flying as well?

The two were forced back by the powerful opposing force. Even though they only retreated a few meters, Gong Ye was still utterly shocked.

Seeing this, Liu Lan Yi, who had still been hesitating, finally believed that Song Wanning hadn’t been deceiving her.

"Be careful! I’ll wait for you!!"

She quickly sent the voice transmission to Song Wanning while making a feint and successfully activating the talisman.

The next moment, she grabbed the trembling Fox Demon and vanished from the Water Prison.

Seeing Liu Lan Yi vanish with his own eyes, Gong Ye instinctively reached out to grab her, but Song Wanning would never give him the chance, closing the distance once more.

Having been bested, Gong Ye knew Song Wanning’s physical body was incredibly powerful. He decided to create some distance and attack her with Spells instead.

But Song Wanning’s movements were impossible to track, and the runes she released were bizarre. No matter where he dodged, he would run into her the very next instant.

BOOM—

Fists collided once again. The shockwave directly shattered the defenses of this Water Prison cell, and the energy radiated outward, causing the entire Water Prison to shake violently, looking as if it were about to collapse.

Faced with this golden opportunity, the prisoners also began trying every method they could to break free from their restraints.

Everyone wanted to take this chance to escape!

By now, the Demon Cultivators had broken free from the Sword Dao True Realm. That single sword strike had left many of them dead and the rest injured.

Their losses looked considerable.

They raised their weapons one by one, wanting to attack Song Wanning again, but their confidence had clearly evaporated. They were afraid.

Song Wanning’s gaze swept over them coldly as she summoned the Golden Small Sword and the Divine Nether Profound Fire.

She kept the Red Lotus Karmic Fire as a trump card, waiting to catch Gong Ye off guard.

In an instant, the Demon Cultivators were locked in a chaotic battle with the Golden Small Sword.

Gong Ye rubbed the aching web of his hand, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Song Wanning finally changed.

He narrowed his eyes, which were now filled with killing intent.

"You’re not a Demon Cultivator?"

"Who in the world are you?"

’To think I was fooled too!!!’

’And her physical body is this powerful... If I hadn’t had my own fortunate encounter with Body Refinement, I would be no match for her in a fistfight!’

"There’s no need for you to know who I am!"

Intense killing intent flashed in Song Wanning’s eyes, but she knew perfectly well that she was not yet Gong Ye’s match.

She was just stalling for time, ensuring her Martial Aunt could safely reach the pre-arranged location. Then she would shake off Gong Ye and rendezvous with her.

"You just need to know that I’m here to take your life!!"

With that, she closed in on Gong Ye once more.

’It can’t be helped. Right now, the only things I have that can contend with a Mahayana cultivator are my physical body and an Immortal Furnace that can block attacks.’

’Even though my Cultivation speed is already extremely fast, it’s still not enough.’

At this moment, Song Wanning’s fighting spirit ignited once more.

’Even if I can’t kill Gong Ye, I’ll definitely infuriate him!’

And so, she laughed and made a bold declaration.

"Not only am I rescuing her, but I’m also going to rescue everyone in this Water Prison of yours!"

"Hahahaha—"

She laughed with extreme arrogance, her insolent expression causing killing intent to surge in Gong Ye’s heart.

"Heh."

Gong Ye laughed in anger.

"It’s been a long time since I’ve met someone as arrogant as you."

Ever since his Cultivation had skyrocketed, he had rarely met anyone who dared to be so arrogant in his presence.

’This woman is just as detestable as those people from the Snake Clan.’

"Is that so? Then I’ll give you a proper show today, lest you think you’re invincible."

Song Wanning gave him a playful wink. The next second, Gong Ye’s face completely darkened, his eyes filled with a brewing storm.

She clashed with Gong Ye once more. The two exchanged blows at lightning speed within the Water Prison, leaving nothing but an endless series of loud bangs in their wake.

With each punch she threw, Song Wanning’s competitive spirit was slowly ignited.

Her eyes grew brighter and brighter.

’It’s been so long since I’ve had such an exhilarating brawl. It feels more and more invigorating. I’m completely lost in the excitement.’

’What’s more, I don’t feel tired at all. The Immortal Qi in my body is circulating rapidly, strengthening my physique.’

BOOM—

She was sent flying by Gong Ye and crashed to the ground.

PTUI—

She spat out a mouthful of blood, but she wasn’t the least bit afraid. In a flash, she was back on her feet, turning around to charge Gong Ye once more.

Gong Ye snorted coldly. He tried to attack with his demonic power, but it was once again blocked by the Immortal Furnace. He couldn’t help but curse inwardly.

Left with no other choice, he could only continue to clash head-on with Song Wanning’s fists.

’This was incredibly frustrating. Where in the world did Song Wanning get that furnace? How could it have such an effect?’

’It blocks all Spells directly. How am I supposed to fight that?’

’A purely defensive item like this is just too unfair to the opponent!!!’

Gong Ye’s expression grew more vicious, and he began to covet the Immortal Furnace.

’If I had a Magical Treasure like this, couldn’t I use it to resist the Heavenly Thunder when I’m Crossing the Heavenly Tribulation?’

’If that’s true, my chances of a successful ascension would increase dramatically!!!’

At this moment, Gong Ye seemed to have caught a new glimmer of hope.

’With that and this furnace, I’d have a ninety percent chance of ascending.’

’I could finally experience what it feels like to become an Immortal!!!’

A feverish glint flashed in Gong Ye’s eyes, and his attacks grew even more vicious.

Song Wanning noticed the change in him, and the excitement in her own eyes grew even more intense.
