AMSSO-Chapter 22: Did Not Recognize a Master

“NuanNuan!”

Qin Yiwei’s sharp eyes immediately saw Jiang Yunnuan frantically running for her life.

“Third junior sister?!”

“Third senior sister?!”

Xin Jinrui and Chu Jingzhuo also saw her, both startled.

Behind Jiang Yunnuan were several fierce-looking tall men who were relentlessly pursuing her.

Jiang Yunnuan was clearly injured, her face pale and covered in sweat.

“Quick, save her!”

The three immediately rushed forward.

Thinking she was about to be caught, Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes suddenly lit up when she saw them, “Eldest senior brother, second senior sister, fourth junior brother!”

But in the next second, her expression changed, “Don’t come! Run quickly!”

Those people were not ones to be provoked!

If she hadn’t escaped quickly, she might have already lost her life!

But Qin Yiwei and the others would not listen to her words. They charged forward, each unleashing their own skills.

Those four men were startled by the sudden attack of the three, but they quickly regained composure, gripping weapons as they charged over.

Xin Jinrui rushed the fastest, his sword stabbing directly at them.

Clang!

The sound of two swords colliding rang out.

Xin Jinrui’s gaze was cold, spiritual power poured into his sword, slicing the opponent’s weapon cleanly in half.

The other had not expected his strength to be so formidable. Caught off guard, his sword snapped, and he retreated a few steps to avoid Xin Jinrui’s blade.

On the other side, Qin Yiwei and Chu Jingzhuo cooperated seamlessly.

Qin Yiwei’s wood-element spiritual power surged, grass and trees on the ground instantly grew wildly, nearly tripping the charging enemies.

Meanwhile, Chu Jingzhuo unleashed an ice blade, aiming directly at their faces!

The few men abruptly braked and leaned back, nearly having their faces sliced by the ice blades.

The three didn’t intend to fight these men to the death, only to block them.

With one successful move, they immediately rushed toward Jiang Yunnuan.

Xin Jinrui swiftly lifted Jiang Yunnuan onto his back and dashed forward.

“Run!”

Qin Yiwei and Chu Jingzhuo didn’t hesitate, immediately following.

After so many years together as fellow sect members, they had developed a tacit understanding.

If someone said to run, they ran at once.

The men behind them looked grim.

They had just prepared to counterattack, and these people suddenly fled?!

“Chase them!”

The leading man roared angrily, his face dark.

Did they think they could escape?

How delusional!

On Xin Jinrui’s back, Jiang Yunnuan relaxed slightly, but seeing the relentless pursuers, she grew anxious again.

“They are at least late Foundation Establishment Stage!”

Although they were all Foundation Establishment, her Wanxuan Sect fellow disciples were only early Foundation Establishment, two small realms lower.

Normally the difference might not matter much, but now it could cost them their lives!

Moreover, those men were especially vicious, clearly unwilling to let them go.

She also didn’t know if these men had other magical artifacts.

If they had attack artifacts, the few of them would be doomed!

Just as the thought crossed her mind, Jiang Yunnuan couldn’t help glancing back, then her insides burned with dread!

—One of them actually pulled out a talisman and hurled it toward them!

From the golden light flashing on the talisman, it was clear this was an attack talisman!

And the attack power was definitely formidable!

“Careful!” Jiang Yunnuan cried out in alarm, her face turning ashen.

It’s over!

They’re going to die here!

“Eldest senior brother!”

Qin Yiwei also saw the golden light behind them, and screamed in fright.

Without them shouting, Xin Jinrui had already sensed the danger.

He reached into his chest, pulled out the shield, and immediately threw it behind him!

As soon as the shield landed, it instantly expanded and enlarged, directly covering the few of them and blocking the incoming attack talisman!

Boom!

The talisman exploded in front of the shield, and the impact force was completely blocked.

Moreover, the attack wave was too strong, blasting back toward those men!

Those men had thought they could stop these youngsters, but who knew it would backfire on them!

“Ah!”

“Ah!”

Caught off guard, they hadn’t even activated their spiritual power to defend, and were directly struck until their vision went black.

Qin Yiwei, who was always paying attention to the rear, immediately shouted, “Fourth junior brother!”

“Here!”

The two of them quickly turned and simultaneously launched another attack at those men.

After several muffled groans, those men fainted on the ground.

Only after confirming they’d passed out did Qin Yiwei exhale heavily, her face pale.

Chu Jingzhuo also didn’t look much better.

But for the moment, the crisis was temporarily resolved.

Xin Jinrui also stopped, his face going pale. He let out a muffled groan, clearly a lot of strength had been drained.

“Eldest senior brother!”

Qin Yiwei and Chu Jingzhuo hurriedly grabbed his arms, afraid he would collapse.

Qin Yiwei also supported Jiang Yunnuan’s back, and her hand instantly felt wet.

Jiang Yunnuan’s back was injured!

However, Jiang Yunnuan didn’t care at all about her wounds. She just stared dumbfounded at the massive shield.

“This this this this…”

She couldn’t even speak coherently.

Judging from the attack of that talisman just now, it was at least a third-grade talisman, comparable to the strike of a Golden Core Stage cultivator!

Facing such an attack, the few of them wouldn’t have died, but they definitely would ‘ve been injured.

But!

Eldest senior brother had thrown out a shield!

This shield blocked that attack and not only was it unharmed, but it even reflected the attack back!

Where did eldest senior brother get such a treasure?

Jiang Yunnuan ignored her injuries and twisted around, staring intently at the shield.

Very quickly, she saw the star on the shield, and her mind went blank for a moment.

“Spir-spirit spirit spir… spiritual weapon?!”

She couldn’t stop herself from screaming.

Is she seeing things? Otherwise, why would she see a star on it?!

Impossible!

“Ow!”

She got too excited and pulled at the wound on her back, crying out in pain, her expression twisting.

“Don’t get so worked up!” Qin Yiwei couldn’t help smacking her once, “You’re already this badly injured, just shut up!”

Shut up?

Could she?

Jiang Yunnuan grabbed Qin Yiwei’s hand, “Where did this spiritual weapon come from?! Eldest senior brother, did you make it recognize you as the master?!”

“It hasn’t recognized a master.” Xin Jinrui adjusted his breathing carefully, his complexion quickly becoming rosy again.

“How is that possible?!” Jiang Yunnuan couldn’t stop herself from yelling, “If it hadn’t recognized a master, that defense just now should have completely drained your power!”

A spiritual artifact without a master required much more spiritual power to operate, after all, weapon spirits were all very willful.

“The spiritual weapon really hasn’t recognized a master.” Chu Jingzhuo also said, “It’s just… more cooperative.”

Could it not be cooperative?

The shield definitely didn’t want to go back to being a food bowl.

With them all saying so, Jiang Yunnuan’s jaw nearly dropped to the ground.

A spiritual weapon without a master, yet it was this obedient and well-behaved?!

In her hand, she only had a dagger she privately refined herself that’s only a bit sharper than an ordinary dagger. Convenient for killing chickens and ducks, but still only an ordinary weapon, far from the level of a magical artifact.

Although she had dual fire and gold spiritual roots, the best spiritual roots for becoming an artifact refiner, and had quite good talent, she had no money!

The sect also had no money.

Without money, she naturally couldn’t afford materials.

But that didn’t mean she didn’t understand these things.

This is a fucking spiritual weapon!

Although it’s a low-grade spiritual weapon, it’s still a spiritual weapon!

A spiritual weapon!

Jiang Yunnuan was roaring inside, but seeing her fellow sect members this calm, she was completely dumbfounded.

“Even if it hasn’t recognized a master, it’s still a spiritual weapon! Aren’t you all excited?!”
