Yin & Yang Pleasures of Cultivation

Chapter 286: Teamwork

The instant Darcel, Aniela, and Masami took out their half-step Royal Spirit Sword, they all sprang forward in an immense burst of speed! 

Ice blew everywhere as the trio completely ruptured the icy ground beneath them.

Black flames swirled around Darcel and Aniela's Royal Spirit Sword like a fiery storm. They poured a tremendous amount of energy into their swords, causing tiny sparks of black flames to spew out like droplets.

Simultaneously, Masami shrouded her sword in brilliant blue fox flames. Her now three fox tails radiated an intense blue shine as she crazily poured an overflow of energy into her sword.

At their speed, the trio reached the undead creature in an instant. Without stopping, they tore their Royal Spirit Swords straight at its massive chest! 

But right when Darcel, Aniela, and Masami's Royal Spirit Sword neared just a foot away, a harsh blue light shimmered out of the undead creature's dead eyes.

In a fraction of a second, the undead creature moved on instinct, throwing up its massive arms towards its chest. 

'Bang!' 

Blue and black flames blasted out in a frenzied whirlwind. 

Darcel, Aniela, and Masami all grunted as their Royal Spirit Swords violently coiled with the undead creature's enormous arms. 

Although they couldn't split its arms off, they all did leave deep burning holes in its ice armor. 

Seeing how they could only make deep holes in the creature's Ice armor, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami felt slightly shocked. Although they're in their bloodline states, they half expected this fight to be a bit troublesome. 

The undead creature's peak Innate Core aura wasn't as powerful as any other peak Innate Core cultivator. 

Other cultivators would be using various cultivation Manuals or skills at this stage which would give them a tremendous boost to their combat prowess.

However, this undead creature was mainly relying on just its formless aura to match Darcel, Aniela, and Masami. The only reason it could tank such a powerful combined attack was because of its crystal Ice armor.

At that moment, the trio wanted to slightly retreat back to regain their bearings. 

But before they could, the undead creature swung both of its arms out, forcefully knocking away Darcel, Aniela and Masami.

This didn't serve to hurt the trio. Rather it served to knock them off balance. And seizing this split-second opportunity, the undead creature closed in on them. 

It swung one of its mighty fists straight at Darcel while the other one soared towards Aniela and Masami.

"Hm!" Darcel, Aniela and Masami codly grunted. 

The undead creature was fast but not enough to catch them off guard. Instead of clashing head-on with the undead, the trio stopped themselves in midair and immediately flashed right towards the ground.

The trio easily dodged the undead's massive arm and then pointed their Royal Spirit Swords straight up. 

'Chi!' 

A mixed blue and black flame explosion released from Darcel, Aniela, and Masami's swords, blasting the undead creature meters into the air.

"Distract for a second." 

Aniela calmly said while the large white feathers on her bloodline arm began to writhe. Her white Light aura began to turn harsher, almost too blinding to gaze upon.

Even though Aniela could no longer instantly unleash her soul flashbang, she was making great strides to reclaim that speed. 

In just an instant, her attack was already forty percent charged. She only needed a few seconds more.

Darcel and Masami quickly exchanged a look between each other. An unspoken signal crossed in their eyes. 

Then, while the undead creature was just beginning to reorient itself, Darcel flew straight up. He thrust his other palms forward, quickly generating pools of Darkness essence energy within it. 

Without a single second of delay, Darcel immediately unleashed several Darkness tendrils towards the undead creature.

Compared to Aniela or Masami, Darcel was now the fastest in being able to charge and release his attacks. He attributed this to the fact that he had a more stable mental state than the girls, allowing him to wholeheartedly pour his all into cultivation.

That wasn't to say Aniela or Masami's wasn't seriously cultivating. 

But at this point, Darcel had more focus in his mind, giving him the calmness needed to rework all of his techniques. 

And as Darcel unleashed his Darkness tendrils, the undead creature was simply too slow to react. Its dead eyes could only watch as the Darkness tendrils quickly wrapped around and bound its massive body.

Darcel didn't waste time trying to pump chaotic pleasure into the undead creature, assuming it has zero similar functions to a normal human body. 

He instead clenched down on his Darkness tendrils and violently swung his palm down!

'Bang!' 

The whole Ice temple shook with intense rumble. The ice creature nearly caused the icy floor to crack open as Darcel brutally slammed the creature in it. 

"Flash Fire!"

In perfect tandem with Darcel's attack, Masami swiftly rushed towards the undead creature. She roared a mighty battle cry as the blue firefox flames on her sword shone in a luminous glow.

Her power grew as she unleashed one of her weaker Martial Skills. 

But right as Masami's glowing sword reached its massive head, three icy beams blasted out one of the undead creature's dead eyes.

And at that time, Masami's glowing sword crashed upon the undead's head. 

An ear-splitting collision sounded out; ripples of energy shockwaves tore apart the air as blue flames spread out like a storm.

The undead creature was sent blasting away, shredding out of Darcel's Darkness tendrils and crashing into another icy wall. Large chunks of its ice armor were getting melted by Masami's blue flames, indicating she landed a direct hit.

However, Masami didn't have the time to take the overwhelming advantage. Not when she sensed a dangerously powerful energy rushing right at her! 

An almost blinding light refracted into her eyes.

In that split moment, Masami could only reinforce her defenses, taking the powerful energy head-on. 

'Chi!' 

Three blood splatters blew into the air. Not only was Masami struck, Darcel and Aniela also had their shoulders pierced through by the undead creature's eye ice beams.

Pain flared up within both Darcel and Aniela. They felt a bone-chilling energy attempting to freeze their bodies from the inside out. This energy was surprisingly powerful, enough to actually severely harm any half-step Heavenly Transformation cultivation.

Considering the undead creature's slightly weak Innate aura, they didn't think it could erupt with this kind of energy. 

However, their bloodline powers forcefully suppressed the freezing energy and quickly began dispersing it.

Darcel gritted his teeth, ignored the freezing pain, and began surging an overflow of energy once again. 

And at the same time, Aniela's soul flashbang was finally charged!  Her white Light aura became blinding to look at and massively increased in size. 

The whole Ice ruined temple became covered in her blinding glow. 

"Soul Flash!" 

'Chi!' 

As Aniela roared, a blinding white flash sparked within the ruined Ice temple.

Masami forcefully shut her eyes while suppressing the freezing energy coursing within her body. While Darcel kept his eyes open, completely ignoring the flash and keeping his gaze on the undead creature the whole time.

The undead creature was just in the process of getting up from the ice wall when Aniela unleashed her Soul Flash. 

Even though this creature wasn't human or any kind of conventual being, it still had a soul that gave it consciousness. 

And, of course, against Aniela's Soul Flash, the undead creature's soul's core couldn't resist at all. A radiant white glow engulfed its soul's core, causing the undead creature to completely freeze up.

Then, without even a split second of delay, Darcel's powers climbed to its peak! He perfectly timed the matching of Aniela's Soul Flash, charging his Martial Skill right on time.

"Fiery Slice!" 

The air burned with ferocious intensity around Darcel, and very slight cracks in the spatial zone appeared. 

These slight cracks were small black lines in the air and showcased that Darcel's prowess is in the Heavenly Transformation realm!

Only at the Heavenly Transformation realm could one start affecting the spatial zones that govern the space around them. 

While slight spatial cracks emerged, a thin stream of black flames flew out of the tip of Darcel's Royal Spirit Sword.

Darcel's Fiery Slice skill traveled at unparalleled speeds, crashing on the undead creature near instantaneously. The stream of black flames burst open its Ice armor, and the undead was once again sent screening into the Ice walls.

Now, with its Ice armor in tattered ruins, the undead creature's glistening blue skin was revealed to Darcel, Aniela, and Masami. 

"Finish it!" Darcel immediately called out.

And after saying so, he, Aniela, and Masami's promptly flashed forward, becoming bright trails of multi-color lights. 

They seized the opportunity and plunged their Royal Spirit Swords deep into the undead creature.

A strange liquid began to pool out of the undead, but it didn't raise any cries of pain or anguish. Darcel, Aniela, and Masami ignored the oddity, focusing on killing the creature for good.

With their swords plunged into the undead, it couldn't move at all.

Making perfect use of this opportunity, Darcel, Aniela and Masami poured all of their energies through their Royal Spirit Sword and straight into the undead creature! 

'Bang!'

Overloaded by Darcel, Aniela, and Masami's incredible energies, the undead inflated like a balloon. Against the trio perfected teamwork, it simply couldn't resist, exploding into a mist of a strange blue liquidy substance.

In the middle of the blue liquid substance, a rainbow color light sparked up. 

The trio looked up to see a small rainbow color orb slowly floating down to them. Time seemed to slow down as the rainbow color orb settled right in front of Darcel specifically.

While gazing at the orb, Darcel, Aniela, and Masami instantly connected the dots. 

In their surprise, they blurted out, "The Mage Orb!"
