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

Although Ye Shuli successfully recognized the artifact as her master, the recognition was still unstable. She was still basking in her joy when, unexpectedly, Sect Leader Zhou and his group, disregarding any warning, became enraged and decided to forcibly seize it, thus launching another attack.

Ye Shuli held a divine weapon, surrounded by light, like a god descending to earth, but how could Headmaster Zhou and the others give up?

"You won't listen to reason, so you'll have to suffer the consequences! Attack!" With a command from Sect Leader Zhou, the crowd launched another attack, showering Ye Shuli with all sorts of martial arts techniques and magical treasures as if they were free.

The light shield vibrated violently, and Ye Shuli groaned, a trickle of blood spilling from the corner of her mouth.

The artifact's recognition of its master is not yet complete. At this moment, she is like a small boat standing in the eye of a storm, which may capsize at any moment.

Jiang Ye gritted his teeth and stood up again. His body was covered in wounds, but his eyes were firm, like a lone wolf guarding the light behind him.

"Sister Li, hold on!" he roared, charging back into the crowd and using all his strength to fend off the attacks.

The attacks from all sides surged like a tidal wave, but he was like a reef in the ocean, constantly being battered, yet he remained standing.

"You overconfident brat!" Sect Leader Zhou snorted coldly and took action himself.

As the leader of a sect, his strength is naturally not to be underestimated.

He formed a hand seal, and a powerful surge of spiritual energy instantly swept across the entire area, as if the surrounding air had frozen.

"The early stage of Spirit Venerable is indeed powerful!" Jiang Ye sighed inwardly, but he did not back down at all. Instead, he fought back even more desperately.

Headmaster Zhou's attacks came like a tidal wave, and Jiang Ye felt like a small boat that could be swallowed up by a giant wave at any moment.

He tried his best to resist, but he was still blasted away and crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

The powerful spiritual energy fluctuations constantly impacted Ye Shuli's connection with the divine artifact. She felt that her connection with the artifact was getting weaker and weaker, as if it would break at any moment.

Large beads of sweat rolled down her forehead, but she gritted her teeth and persevered.

"You brat, let's see how long you can last!" Sect Leader Zhou sneered and increased his spiritual power output once again.

Ye Shuli groaned, her body trembling violently, and more and more blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Just then, a cold voice suddenly rang out: "Sect Leader Zhou, why don't we join forces, deal with this brat first, and then seize the divine artifact?"

Ye Shuli felt as if her head was about to explode, buzzing. Every attack from Master Zhou was like a heavy hammer, slamming into her nerves.

The connection between the artifact and her flickered, as if it could be severed at any moment.

She clenched her teeth so hard that her lips bled and blood flowed down the corner of her mouth; her face was frighteningly pale.

Jiang Ye watched anxiously from the side, wishing he could take her place.

His spiritual energy was almost exhausted, and he felt sore and weak all over. He felt like a lemon that had been squeezed dry, sour and astringent.

The surrounding robbers watched as if they were watching a show, their faces beaming with anticipation, waiting for the two men to die from exhaustion so they could reap the benefits.

These "spectators" are really inconsiderate!

"Sister Li, you have to hold on!" Jiang Ye gritted his teeth and threw another punch, but it felt like he had hit cotton, soft and without any force.

Just then, Jiang Ye's eyes lit up. He noticed a tiny flaw in Master Zhou's attack, a flaw that lasted only a moment, but was enough!

"Sister Li! His left shoulder! Attack his left shoulder!" Jiang Ye shouted at the top of his lungs, his voice so hoarse it was almost inaudible.

Although Ye Shuli had a splitting headache, Jiang Ye's voice still reached her ears clearly.

She endured the excruciating pain, concentrated her mind, and mustered her last bit of strength to focus the power of the divine artifact into a single point, then blasted it fiercely towards Master Zhou's left shoulder!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Sect Leader Zhou was caught off guard and struck squarely by the sudden attack. He staggered and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

He never expected that Ye Shuli would be able to launch such a powerful attack at this moment!

"How is this possible?!" Sect Leader Zhou clutched his left shoulder, his eyes wide with disbelief.

"Sister Li, beautiful!" Jiang Ye's spirits lifted upon seeing this, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

"Heh, you think this is the end?" A chilling voice rang out...

Feng Ying chuckled sinisterly, his figure flickering erratically like a ghost, making him impossible to fathom.

"Sect Leader Zhou, let's take them down together!"

Sect Leader Zhou clutched his injured left shoulder, his face terribly grim. He glared fiercely at Jiang Ye, then nodded to Feng Ying: "Alright!"

The two attacked Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye simultaneously from the left and right.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye stood back to back, each able to feel the other's rapid breathing.

"Sister Li, what should we do?" Jiang Ye's voice trembled slightly, but was more determined than anything else.

"Don't panic, watch me!" Ye Shuli took a deep breath, enduring the excruciating pain, and pushed the power of the divine artifact to its limit.

The artifact shone brightly, like a small sun, illuminating the entire valley.

"What the hell is this?!" The sudden burst of intense light blinded Zhou and Feng Ying, causing their attacks to veer off course.

"Now!" Ye Shuli shouted, directing Jiang Ye to attack.

Jiang Ye seized the opportunity, and when he saw that Master Zhou was about to attack again, he used the move "Monkey Stealing Peaches" to kick Master Zhou's vital point hard.

"Ah!" Sect Leader Zhou screamed in agony, clutching his vitals and collapsing to the ground, writhing in pain.

"Sister Li, you're awesome!" Jiang Ye shouted excitedly, feeling his whole body brimming with energy.

Ye Shuli ignored Jiang Ye's flattery and continued to manipulate the artifact, condensing the light into a beam and shooting it towards Feng Ying.

Feng Ying was struck by the beam of light, letting out a scream as his body was sent flying and crashed into a large tree. His fate was unknown.

The surrounding robbers, seeing this, turned pale with fright and retreated, not daring to approach any further.

Ye Shuli and Jiang Ye seized the opportunity to break through the encirclement and escape the battlefield.

"Sister Li, where are we going now?" Jiang Ye asked breathlessly.

Ye Shuli did not answer, but instead looked up at the sky.

"somebody is coming……"

Bathed in the light of the divine artifact, Ye Shuli felt an even stronger connection with it. A powerful force surged into her body, making her feel stronger than ever before.

The artifact seemed to sense her determination and began to display some of its power, its light shining even brighter, like a small sun illuminating the entire valley.

"Sister Li, wow! These special effects are absolutely blinding!" Jiang Ye exclaimed in astonishment.

Ye Shuli's lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile.

She channeled this powerful force toward Sect Leader Zhou and the others, the light transforming into beams of light that shot toward them like laser cannons.

"Holy crap! What the hell is that?!" Master Zhou and the others were so frightened by the sudden attack that they scattered in panic, desperately trying to defend themselves, and the scene became quite chaotic.

"Wow, that dodging skill is perfect!" Jiang Ye watched with great interest, occasionally offering his comments, just like a game commentator.

Although Master Zhou and his group were powerful, they still seemed somewhat powerless in the face of the divine artifact.

They were repeatedly defeated, their bodies covered in wounds, and they were in a sorry state.

"Go, Sister Li! Show them what's what!" Jiang Ye excitedly waved his fist from the side, as if he were fighting as well.

Ye Shuli ignored Jiang Ye's encouragement and continued to control the artifact, maximizing its power.

The light grew brighter and brighter, as if it were about to devour the entire valley.

Master Zhou and the others finally could not withstand the attack. They all let out a scream and fell to the ground, their fate unknown.

"Sister Li, you're so powerful and awesome!" Jiang Ye jumped up excitedly, wishing he could hug Ye Shuli and give her a kiss.

Ye Shuli put away the divine artifact, and the light gradually faded, restoring peace to the valley.

She took a deep breath, feeling her connection with the artifact grow stronger, but the ritual of recognizing the artifact was not yet complete.

Just then, Ye Shuli suddenly sensed a powerful aura approaching. She abruptly raised her head and looked into the distance.

“Someone’s coming…” Jiang Ye also noticed something was wrong. Following Ye Shuli’s gaze, he saw an old man with a white beard slowly walking towards them.

The white-bearded old man walked up to them, stopped, and looked intently at Ye Shuli, slowly saying, "Girl, this divine artifact is not something you can possess..."
