Chapter 289 Slaying the Ghost Woman
"She's not my mother, then where is my mother?" Chen Ying asked, her thoughts still somewhat confused.
But she had heard Zhao Yulin's shout just now, and the ghost woman had used mind magic on her. If she didn't realize the problem by now, she wouldn't deserve to be admitted to the Imperial Capital Academy.
Chen Ying remembered that her mother majored in fire, minored in earth, and secondarily in space, but had no mental abilities whatsoever.
"Damn it, I bet that bitch isn't Chenying's mother," Zhao Manyan muttered, rubbing his head.
At this moment, Xinxia, who was being supported by Lingling, also spoke up: "Yes, she is indeed not your mother. In fact, I suspected her last time in the Fire Cloud Forest. The memories that the Flame Witch transmitted to me just now confirmed my guess."
"At the same time, I understand why you weren't instantly killed by the flames she unleashed when you stabbed the Flame Witch with your Cold Iron Spikes last time—it's because she is your mother!!"
Upon hearing this, Chenying's head seemed to explode with a "bang," and the words "She is your mother" kept echoing in her mind.
What makes her think she'll be alright after ambushing the Flame Witch? And what makes her think the Flame Witch won't seek revenge? It's because she's the Flame Witch—no, to be precise, Jiang Feng's daughter.
It was precisely because of this that Jiang Feng wouldn't harm her, and that woman used this very point to get her to kill Jiang Feng.
The Flame Witch is friendly to humans because she was once human. Despite her formidable strength, she was still injured by Chen Ying's Ice Spikes. This was mainly because Jiang Feng was already in turmoil when she saw Chen Ying. She wanted to embrace her child, but now she had become the Flame Witch, her whole body engulfed in flames, making it impossible for her to embrace her child.
But as she turned away in despair, Chen Ying pierced her heart with a cold iron spike. It's hard to imagine how much pain Jiang Feng felt at that moment.
"No, this can't be! How could this happen? How could this happen?!" Chen Ying cried out in despair.
She dared not meet Jiang Feng's eyes; she was afraid of seeing disappointment and heartbreak in them.
At this moment, Xinxia spoke again, saying, "After she saved your father, she was engulfed by the flames of the Heavenly Tribulation. However, she was later saved by a fire-wielding person who gave her the Fire Tribulation Fruit, which brought her back to life."
"But the Heavenly Tribulation Flames damaged her body too severely, and the Fire Tribulation Fruit could not heal her injuries. In the end, she could only abandon her body and let her soul attach itself to a new life, thus surviving in her current form."
"As for why she knows everything about your mother, it's because she used her telepathic abilities to read your mother's experiences."
"She knew that Jiang Feng had transformed into a Flame Witch, and that she not only had to protect the Flame Calamity Fruit, but also cared about you, her daughter. In order to obtain the Flame Calamity Fruit, she disguised herself as your mother and returned to the Zhao family, and then constantly instilled in you the importance of seizing the Flame Calamity Fruit."
"Waaaaah..." Chen Ying finally couldn't hold back anymore and started crying loudly.
Hearing Chen Ying cry and realize she was about to break free of the Ice and Snow Sealing Demon Formation, Jiang Feng became anxious. Instead of using the Dark Flame Domain to resist the cold iron spikes and the cold poison in the ice crystal space, she directly released the flames in her body to melt the ice crystal space that was trapping her.
As the Calamity Flame was released in large quantities, Jiang Feng's face began to show pain, but so what? Her daughter was crying, and she had to comfort her, no matter how painful it was!
With a loud bang, the eight exquisite ice walls that had been sealing her shattered completely, turning into countless fragments that flew everywhere.
In order to break free from the ice, Jiang Feng consumed a large amount of her vital energy, which made her injuries even more severe. However, none of that could stop her from wanting to comfort her daughter. Motherly love is so great; no matter what mistakes her child has made, she will forgive them.
Jiang Feng approached Chen Ying, her body engulfed in flames. She wanted to reach out and wipe away Chen Ying's tears, but she was afraid that the flames on her body would hurt her. For a moment, Jiang Feng was hesitant and didn't know how to comfort Chen Ying.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry..." Chen Ying cried out, her face full of remorse.
"Don't cry, your mother doesn't blame you. I hope you can live a happy and fulfilling life from now on." Jiang Feng sent another request for a telepathic connection to Xin Xia. Xin Xia could clearly sense Jiang Feng's physical condition, so she did not refuse.
Lingling is currently supporting the weakened Xinxia, while Zhao Manyan and Zhang Xiaohou are building up their defenses against the aftermath of the battle.
As for Mo Fan, he was keeping a close eye on the battle between Jiang Han and the Ghost Woman. After hearing the Ghost Woman's vicious scheme, Mu Dao and Zhao Yulin were about to help Jiang Han, but they were blocked by the eight ice mages controlled by the Ghost Woman's mind magic.
When Mu Dao saw the eight mages controlled by the ghost woman, he was furious. These were all the best of their Daoqi lineage. If they were to cripple their leader Mu Li in this battle, he would probably curse him to death.
Therefore, Mu Dao and Zhao Yulin were hesitant to act when fighting the eight ice mages, fearing that they might kill or cripple the mages who were already exhausted by using too much force.
"Dragon Flame - Fierce Fist - Nine Palaces!!"
A vast expanse of blue-purple flames spread outwards from Jiang Han, making him appear like a terrifying fire demon. Jiang Han raised his right foot and stomped down hard, causing cracks resembling a spider web to spread outwards.
Streams of earth-fire erupted from the ground, crimson flames surging forth like a giant fiery whale bursting from the sea, creating a magnificent spectacle. The earth-fire continued to spew forth, and under the pounding of the fiery whale, the crimson flames rushed straight towards the ghost woman.
"Rock Barrier, Stone Shield!!" Brown starlight shone on the ghost woman.
Immediately afterwards, a huge brown stone shield appeared in front of her, blocking the oncoming wave of flames. However, the scorching heat still caused her a lot of trouble. Just then, dark clouds suddenly gathered above her head.
"Thousand-Pound Yaksha Thunderclap!!" Mo Fan, who had been watching the battle closely from afar, unleashed a lightning-based magic.
"Oh no!!" The ghost woman immediately realized something was wrong when she saw the lightning strike, but it was too late for her to dodge.
With a loud crack of thunder, a thick bolt of purple lightning suddenly tore through the dark night sky. As it fell halfway down, the purple lightning split into countless lightning chains. Even after splitting into several lightning chains, its power did not diminish much.
The ghost woman, struck by the lightning chain, let out a pitiful scream, but with blue-purple flames all around, there was nowhere to escape.
The ghost woman screamed in agony. Having survived the baptism of heavenly tribulation flames, she was most afraid of fire. Being burned by lightning and flames was the most painful way for her to die. But no matter how much she screamed, no one sympathized with her. It would be a disservice to Jiang Feng and her daughter Chen Ying to not let her suffer endless torment before she died.
