Night of the Broken Gliph

The metallic projectile had an odd look; it was as wise as a fist but was very short, looking like a stubby arrow. Despite it travelling slow enough for Mung Si to form her Wall Prison, Chiu Yim seemed unfazed.

He whispered to himself, Disperse.

The arrow split into five at his command. This seemed like a coincidence yet well planned at the same time. To Mung Sis horror, the five arrows split into ten smaller projectiles each!

Fifty pinky-sized arrows instantly collided against the newly formed Wall Prison.

Szzz

That was the sound of sizzling metal. The needles sublimated once they touched the scorching Wall Prison formed by the Blazing Skies Style. However, the needles seemed disperse then move towards the target afterwards.

Since the arrows came in large numbers, six of them struck Mung Si.

Hmph With a grunt, Mung Si collapsed.

The Chor Clan disciples, who assumed the attack to be simple, were now stunned. Chui Yim didnt exaggerate things; if Mung Si wasnt blocking the Chor Clan disciples, he would be able to hit all of them with a single attack.

So what? Chor Kwong Laan sneered loudly. It wont kill even if we get hit with those projectiles.

That was exactly what Mung Si thought too. Before Mung Si entered the Chamber Refining Cave, she was regarded as a born glipher and received teachings from a master glipher since young, which was why she had great physical ability even as a gliphist. Under her subconscious reflexes, none of the needles landed on her vitals.

No matter how Mung Si looked at it, the cylinder seemed like it could only launch one attack. Anger overtook her. She got ready to draw another gliph to teach him a lesson, but she suddenly realised that she couldn't activate her energliph!

In spite of gliphists borrowing the energy of heaven and earth to draw their gliphs, the gliphist needed their own energliph to initiate the exchange. This meant that one couldnt draw gliphs if his or her energliph had been depleted. This was the first time Mung Si had ever experienced such a situation in her life.

Youre Thats poisonous!

Mung Si felt her body getting weaker as her legs turned to jelly. Her powerful and substantial energy was gone, replaced with sheer fragility.

At the same time, Chui Yim regained his senses. He regretted his actions yet felt glad. Why did I bicker with a girl? But luckily, this is just a simpler version of the actual Thousand Mechanism Arrow.

He never meant to take the Chor Clan disciples lives, but he still had to teach them a lesson, so he used the golden aroma dissolved tendon powder which he used for his other mechanisms.

This little girl would have left for heaven if this had been the actual version.

Are are you alright? Chui Yim was worried, but he pretended to be indifferent about it. I warned you, but you chose to act cool.

You Mung Si was currently red as a brick due to anger, but there was nothing she could do since she couldnt move!

The current situation left the Chor Clan disciples at a loss. They were here for revenge, but the situation took a dramatic turn and left all of them stunned. Except for one, who had an odd expression on his face.

I say, is the well-known gifted cultivator of the North, the dream girl of all Northern cultivators, too weak to resist now?

Chor Kwong Laan turned to Chor Fung to realise he was staring at Mung Si lewdly. What are you planning to do?

Thats the gifted genius of the North; dont you want to have a taste of her lips? Chor Fung laughed.

Are you insane? Chor Kwong Laan said while sweating buckets. How dare you offend the Blazing Skies Mountain?

Mung Si, who was on the ground near them turned pale as a sheet of paper on hearing him. How dare you! She chided loudly.

Chor Kwong Laan, staring at Chor Fung in horror, did the same. Have you lost your mind? I have nothing against you finding problems with the Chui kid, but how dare you assault a Blazing Skies Mountain Mung Clan as a Chor Clan disciple?

Heh. The Chor Clan? What a powerful clan. Chor was my mothers surname, and my father had to practice matriarchy and live unhappily just because she was from the Chor Clan. Which father wouldnt want his son to succeed his bloodline? But because of the overbearing Chor Clan, my father who didnt have much say, took his own life.

What makes you think I see myself as a Chor? Ive had enough Chor Fung mumbled, looking as if he had lost his mind. I tried so hard and did all I could Father, Im a good kid too But I just couldnt overtake Chor Kwong Laan

Chor Fung, wake up! Chor Kwong Laan called out in fear.

Suddenly, Chor Fung looked up with an insane look as he gripped a knife. The short distance wasnt enough for Chor Kwong Laan to react in time, and the knife punctured his abdomen. The Chor Clan disciples let out a shout and charged at Chor Fung. However, being the second-best cultivator after Chor Kwong Laan, there was nobody else his match; the disciples soon lay defeated and injured. What made the situation worse was that this was a remote place in South Imperial City.

Hey! Madman! Chui Yim shouted after making up his mind.

Chor Fungs attention was immediately diverted from Chor Kwong Laan to Chui Yim.

Upset that you cant get into the Cloud Palace outer sect? Let me tell you. This quota is something that trash like you can never have. Chui Yim sneered as he carried Mung Si who was taller than him on his back despite her resistance. Even the girl you want is mine now. You are fated to lose to me in this life. The descendants of a superior clan? Bah!

Is there something wrong with you? Mung Si called out in a bundle of nerves. Why are you provoking him?

Shut up! After his scolding, Chui Yim turned back toward Chor Fung once again. Come kill me if you dare, trash!

Argh! Chor Fung dashed towards Chui Yim at lightning speed after a growl.

Buzz!

A flash of fire lit up as a knife-shaped gliph formed, slashing down hard from the skies. Despite losing his mind, Chor Fung could barely dodge the attack thanks to the Chor Clans excellent training.

When he looked again, Chui Yim was already running away with Mung Si towards his residence.

What do you want!

Despite being a free-spirited Northerner, Mung Si was just a teenage girl who had never had any close physical contact with guys. She couldnt help but feel panicked at the situation.
