A magical journey of a sharp-tongued woman and a goofy man

Chapter 129 Glory of Heaven and Earth

"Are you afraid of death?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ye raised an eyebrow and exaggeratedly patted his chest, "Oh, my dear Sister Li, what are you saying? Do you think I, Jiang Ye, am a coward who fears death? Back in the day..."

"Shut up!" Ye Shuli interrupted him mercilessly. "Don't bring up the time you were chased by dogs for three blocks for peeping at Widow Wang taking a bath at the village entrance! The situation is urgent now, and you can't be spouting nonsense here!"

Jiang Ye awkwardly touched his nose, "I was just trying to lighten the mood... But Sister Li, to be honest, this evil alchemist is much fiercer than Widow Wang at the village entrance. We're probably going to be done for here today."

Ye Shuli ignored him and took a deep breath, then took out a bunch of strange materials from her storage bag.

These materials were colorful and exuded a rich spiritual energy; they were the very materials she had painstakingly collected in order to evolve the divine artifact.

The powerful aura was getting closer and closer, and Ye Shuli knew she couldn't wait any longer.

She sat cross-legged, arranged the materials around her one by one, and began the artifact evolution ritual according to the records in the ancient books.

As she chanted incantations, the surrounding spiritual energy began to fluctuate violently, and the materials seemed to come alive, emitting a dazzling light.

Jiang Ye stood guard to the side, nervously watching the surroundings.

A sense of danger permeated the air, making him feel as if he had thorns in his back.

He glanced at Ye Shuli every now and then, and saw that her face was solemn and her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, obviously the evolution ritual was very taxing on her.

The tense atmosphere grew increasingly intense, like a taut string that could snap at any moment.

As the ritual proceeded, the artifact continuously absorbed the energy of the materials, and the surrounding light grew stronger and stronger, forming a huge sphere of light that enveloped Ye Shuli.

The light was so dazzling that enemies attempting a sneak attack had to stop and shield their eyes with their hands.

They cursed angrily, but there was nothing they could do.

"Damn it! What is this woman up to!" Hu Dahan shouted gruffly. He had intended to take advantage of the chaos to launch a sneak attack, but he was blocked by the light.

In the distance, Young Master Lin and the White-Browed Taoist also stopped. They squinted at the increasingly dazzling light, their faces showing complex expressions.

Inside the sphere of light, Ye Shuli felt as if her body was being filled with a powerful force. She could clearly sense the evolution of the artifact, and an unprecedented power was awakening...

The light gradually faded, revealing Ye Shuli's figure.

She slowly opened her eyes, a glint of light flashing in them.

Seeing this, Jiang Ye was overjoyed and was about to speak when he suddenly heard Young Master Lin let out a cold snort...

Young Master Lin was unwilling to let Ye Shuli succeed so easily. He waved his hand and called to the other enemies, "Attack together! We can't let this woman succeed!" In an instant, various spiritual energy attacks rained down on the light barrier.

Jiang Ye could only hear the whistling wind and the booming sound of spiritual energy attacks in his ears, and he clenched his fists nervously.

The attacks slammed into the barrier, visually resembling dazzling yet dangerous fireworks exploding before our eyes.

Ye Shuli could feel the barrier shaking, and a dangerous aura crept up her spine like a cold snake.

But she remained calm, took a deep breath, and continuously poured her spiritual power into the artifact.

As if sensing its master's determination, the artifact suddenly shone brightly and unleashed an even more powerful force.

The force surged forth, and the barrier seemed to be injected with a steel skeleton, instantly repairing itself and generating a powerful counterforce.

The enemies were thrown backward like kites with broken strings, their eyes filled with terror.

Hu Dahan was so shocked that he fell to the ground with a cry of pain.

The evil alchemist also rolled on the ground in a sorry state before he could regain his balance.

Ye Shuli gripped the divine artifact tightly. She could feel the surging power within it, a power that seemed to leap in her hand.

Her aura rose steadily with the changes in the divine artifact, and her gaze became increasingly resolute.

Jiang Ye shouted excitedly, "Sister Li, that's amazing!" Ye Shuli's lips curled up slightly, her eyes revealing a coldness. She stared at the enemies as if they were lambs to the slaughter.

The enemies, still reeling from their shock, stared blankly at Ye Shuli.

Just then, the artifact's light flashed again, indicating that the evolution was about to be completed. Ye Shuli could feel an unprecedented power about to fill her entire body.

The light suddenly receded, like the tide receding, revealing Ye Shuli's tall and straight figure.

She held the evolved artifact, surrounded by a faint golden aura, as if a god had descended.

A powerful pressure swept out, making the surrounding air seem to freeze.

The once noisy battlefield was now completely silent. Everyone, including the shouting enemies, held their breath and stared at her in disbelief.

Ye Shuli slowly opened her eyes, her gaze sharp as a knife, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips: "The game is over."

Before she finished speaking, she flashed and transformed into a golden streak of light, rushing straight towards Young Master Lin.

Before Young Master Lin could react, he felt a powerful force rushing towards him.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Young Master Lin was violently sent flying, crashing heavily to the ground and spitting out blood.

He stared wide-eyed in disbelief. He couldn't believe that Ye Shuli, whom he had just regarded as an ant, now possessed such great power.

"That's all?" Ye Shuli smiled contemptuously, and her figure flashed again, appearing in front of Young Master Lin.

She raised her divine weapon high and slashed down without mercy.

Young Master Lin tried to defend himself in a panic, but it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot; he was powerless to fight back.

"Sister Li, I'm here to help you!" Jiang Ye excitedly joined the battle upon seeing this.

He and Ye Shuli worked together seamlessly, like two sharp knives, moving freely through the enemy lines.

Their moves were fierce and their speed was as fast as lightning. The enemies were unable to resist them and fled in panic.

"Run? Do you think you can escape?" Ye Shuli sneered, the divine weapon in her hand shone brightly, and a powerful force swept out, blasting all the fleeing enemies away.

The surrounding cultivators all showed expressions of awe upon seeing this scene.

They had never seen such power before; it was as if a miracle had occurred.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye stood side by side, looking down at their disheveled enemies, as if they were emperors ruling the world.

"Now, who still dares to disagree?" Ye Shuli looked around, her tone icy, carrying an air of dominance over the world.

Jiang Ye looked at Ye Shuli, who was now radiant with light, and his heart began to pound uncontrollably. He murmured, "Sister Li..."

As the smoke cleared, the battlefield was a scene of utter devastation.

Ye Shuli stood proudly, the divine weapon in her hand radiating a warm light that illuminated her exquisite face.

Jiang Ye rushed to her and pulled her into a tight embrace. "Sister Li, you're so cool! You're practically my idol!"

Ye Shuli was taken aback by his sudden hug, then a smile appeared on her lips.

She gently patted Jiang Ye on the back, "Alright, alright, stop being so mushy, there are so many people watching."

Jiang Ye then realized that there were still quite a few onlookers around. He scratched his head sheepishly, but showed no intention of letting go of Ye Shuli.

Feeling the warmth from his embrace, Ye Shuli gradually relaxed and let him hold her.

Having gone through this thrilling battle, the bond between the two became even stronger.

The air around us was filled with the joy of surviving a disaster, and also with pink bubbles.

The onlookers applauded and cheered, applauding Ye Shuli's formidable strength and Jiang Ye's loyal protection.

"Sister Li, if anyone dares to bully you in the future, I'll beat them up!" Jiang Ye declared confidently, transforming himself into Ye Shuli's personal knight.

Ye Shuli smiled and pinched his cheek. "You should take care of yourself first."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

However, deep in Ye Shuli's heart, a sense of unease lingered.

She could sense that something had changed after the artifact evolved; a powerful force surged within her, making her feel both excited and terrified.

She couldn't fully control this power yet...

“Jiang Ye,” Ye Shuli suddenly spoke, her tone tinged with seriousness, “I feel…”

Before she could finish speaking, the divine artifact in her hand suddenly shone brightly, and an invisible force enveloped her and Jiang Ye...
