Chapter 116: This Is a Sickness, and It Needs to Be Cured!

After swallowing the Water-Repelling Pearl, Jiang Yan felt a cool current circulate within his body, as if he had been reborn.

Yun Yun also took the Water-Repelling Pearl and immediately felt she could breathe freely underwater. Excitedly, she said to Jiang Yan, “Brother Yan, are you alright? Don’t be afraid, I’ll save you.”

Jiang Yan gently patted Yun Yun’s head; this little girl was truly loyal.

“Don’t worry, little one. I always have a way,” he assured her.

The Sword Sovereign Ling Xiao’s face darkened as he saw the two chatting and laughing inside the water orb.

He snorted coldly, thinking to himself, Let them revel a little longer; trapped in this water sphere, they’ll slowly taste the despair of waiting to die.

Jiang Yan gripped the Flame Sword tightly, its tip flickering with fiery light. He unleashed the Fire Wind Blade technique.

With a tremendous roar, the water orb was cleaved in two.

But before Jiang Yan and Yun Yun could soar out, the orb rapidly closed back together.

Yun Yun’s sparkling eyes looked at Jiang Yan, two sweet dimples appearing on her cheeks. “Brother Yan, you’re amazing!”

Jiang Yan felt a bit embarrassed—didn’t he just fail?

“Ahem, little one, I just made a mistake earlier,” he said.

Ling Xiao’s sharp gaze fixed on Jiang Yan’s actions, sneering with disdain, “Heh, kid, don’t waste your effort. You think you can break my water orb?”

With that, he swiftly cast a spell to reinforce the orb’s defenses.

Jiang Yan sensed the oxygen inside the orb dwindling. If they didn’t escape soon, they might suffocate alive.

Fire and water are opposing elements. Fortunately, he possessed the Fire Spirit Root, and Yun Yun had the Phoenix Divine Fire.

Perhaps they could give it a try…

Jiang Yan turned to Yun Yun and whispered, “Little one, when the time comes, we’ll combine our fire attacks. Once the water wall cracks, we’ll make a break for it.”

Yun Yun nodded resolutely, “Alright, Brother Yan, let’s give it our all!”

Standing beside Jiang Yan, she was ready to unleash flames at a moment’s notice.

Jiang Yan summoned the fire energy within, gesturing toward the water wall, and shouted, “Now!”

At his command, the fireballs they conjured surged toward the water wall.

Boom—

With a thunderous blast, the water barrier instantly evaporated, leaving a massive gap.

Jiang Yan’s eyes sharp and quick, he grabbed Yun Yun, and the two dashed through the breach as a streak of fire.

To prevent the orb from closing again, Jiang Yan wasted no time and continued to bombard the water orb with flames after escaping.

Yun Yun followed closely, her fire raining down like droplets upon the orb.

Under the relentless assault of their fierce flames, the water orb shattered like glass and finally dissipated into the air.

“Pfft…”

Ling Xiao’s face turned pale instantly. Flustered, he retracted his spell gestures, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.

His eyes brimmed with disbelief and fury as he fixed his gaze on Jiang Yan and Yun Yun, his voice trembling, “How… how could you break my water orb?”

Jiang Yan rolled his eyes disdainfully and retorted coldly, “Old man, you and your brother are the same—too arrogant. It’s a disease that needs curing!”

Just then, the clash of metal swords echoed from the direction of the Ink Evil Sword. The Radiant Shadow Sword’s glow gradually dimmed, unable to sustain its massive blade form, shrinking back to its original size.

This scene was like salt rubbed into Ling Xiao’s wounds. His expression darkened further, rage nearly bursting forth.

“Despicable brats, you won’t be laughing for long!” Ling Xiao ground his teeth, eyes flashing with a dangerous, icy gleam.
