Before anyone could react, Mira's killing intent crashed into the young man on the ground at full force! Even to the transparent old man, it felt like a mountain of corpses fell on him, threatening to crush him into meat paste.
He's been alive for a long time and has seen all kinds of people, but even he hasn't felt such killing intent before! Of course, with his willpower and strength, it didn't affect him at all; it merely surprised him.
However, that split second where he was surprised was already too long. By the time he regained his calm, it was already too late.
He looked at his disciple, and his face drastically changed!
? "What did you do, woman?!" He bellowed as if trying to threaten Mira, but she didn't pay attention to him and kept releasing her killing intent until she felt satisfied.
The old man waved his hand, creating a shield around the young man to prevent any further damage.
He stared at Mira hatefully, but he couldn't care about her right now. First, he has to take care of his disciple!
He looked down and saw his disciple convulsing on the ground with the whites of his eyes showing.
After a simple inspection, the old man immediately found out that his disciple not only had damage to his soul and mind, but a heart demon had formed as well. He didn't know what Mira had just done, but it was clear that she was trying to cripple his disciple!
Just the thought of that made him tremble in anger. He turned toward Mira and was about to kill her right then and there, but before he could do anything, Mira opened her mouth.
With a sneer, she said, "Don't look at me like that, geezer. This is a consequence of preventing me from killing my prey. Hehe~ Though you're welcome to kill me now, I don't think that'll fix your poor disciple. You should know it too. If he wants to overcome this situation, he will have to kill me with his own two hands. Well, I suppose that's not the only way, but it's definitely the fastest and most efficient. Who knows, he might even get stronger after all this."
The old man stared intently at Mira as if he wanted to devour her whole, but he did nothing. In truth, he wasn't even sure what happened. Why did she release her killing intent like that? Even if she did release her killing intent, it shouldn't be enough to do something like this to his disciple. Also, what's with this attitude? Why does it feel like the girl in front of him isn't scared at all? Does she also have an expert like him watching over her?
The old man had numerous questions running through his head as he considered his options. The girl in front of him was simply too mysterious. Not only was she able to put his disciple in such a state, but she could even carry on a normal conversation with such heavy injuries herself.
Actually, now that he got a good look at her, Mira should be screaming in pain right about now, but from the look in her eyes, he could tell that she wasn't bothered by her injuries. Such a thing isn't normal, even in unorthodox Sects like the one he's from. Sure, they might be used to pain, but not to such a degree.
He's also never seen someone as talented as the girl in front of him before. In his mind, it's nearly impossible for a junior to reach such a level by themselves. Either they have some sort of heaven-defying treasure or a large backing.
Either way, the old man didn't want to unknowingly offend someone he shouldn't have and risk not only his and his disciple's life but the Sect's as well.
This was a problem his disciple started, so he should be man enough to see it through! Fortunately, it seems he'll get another chance to kill this wretched woman, but even then, he felt his disciple would only be running to his death even if he managed to kill Mira.
Ultimately, he decided to just leave Mira be for now.
'This is something you must overcome by yourself, my disciple. You started this mess, so you should be the one to end it. However, if any old monsters come and ask for your head as a consequence for killing this little girl, then your Master will, of course, step in and stop them.' The old man thought to himself as he stared at his dying disciple.
Seeing that he didn't have much time left until his disciple actually died, he decided to leave.
The old man stared back at Mira before threatening, "We'll be back, little girl. However, the next time you try and do something sneaky like that in my presence, I won't hesitate to kill you, regardless of whether it'll harm my disciple or not."
Mira felt her veins popping on the side of her head at being called a 'little girl', but she wasn't one to lose her temper so easily…
"I look forward to it, boy. Hopefully, next time, that little kid will actually be able to give me a good fight."
…Okay, maybe she's a little bit pissed off at being called a 'child, but how could she not be? Just because her body is youthful and sexy doesn't mean she's not an old soul! How dare this fucking geezer look down on her as if she's some sort of child?!
Now, it was the old man's turn to feel his lips twitch. It's been ages since someone has called him a 'body', and it was done by a little girl, no less! However, he wasn't going to sit here and argue with her about it. Right now, he just wanted to get out of here and heal his disciple.
So, without saying anything else, the old man waved his hand, and the two of them disappeared from Mira's sight.
"Phew…!"
Mira let out a huge sigh of relief when those two finally left. She may have acted all nonchalant in front of the old man, but the aura he exuded was enough to make all her hairs stand on ends.
Although she's still quite angry at the fact that she wasn't able to kill that man, she also felt like this might actually turn out to be a good thing.
Not only did she learn a lot about her strength and powers in that fight, but she also learned more about what she's lacking.
That whole time during the fight, Mira felt like she should be able to defeat that man. Maybe not with ease, but it should've been a hell of a lot easier to beat him if she was using her power to its fullest potential.
However, that was far from being the case. Mira had no choice but to try and scheme her way to victory.
But looking back on it, that may not have been the case. Although she wasn't confident in winning against the man in a head-on battle, she shouldn't be so weak that she could only get thrashed around.
Just her Qi reserves alone should match those in the mid to late stages of the Core Formation Realm, and along with her powerful evolved body, her tails, and her new scythe, she should've been able at least to fight him for a while with her current power.
Therein lies the problem. She couldn't, or more accurately, she didn't know how to. The only 'proper' ability she has is her Paragon Wings, but even that's fairly rough. With how many meridians she has in her body, she should be able to make it last longer and be far more powerful than what it was.
It also seems like there are some hidden abilities within her tails that she doesn't know about that could also further increase her battle prowess.
For example, the reason she was able to break a few bones in the man's face with her golden tail is that she's actually able to channel Qi from her Core into her tail to increase its weight and density.
That's something she only tried on a whim, but it worked! There's also her charm ability from her pink tail.
She can actually combine her 'charm' with her eyes, so when she unleashes her killing intent, it can actually do damage to them. Not only that, but the man seemed pretty susceptible to suggestions, so Mira was able to enter the man's mind and force him to watch himself be tortured to death by her own hands.
Although it was technically just a figment of his imagination, what he experienced in his mind felt real. He felt the pain of his skin tearing apart and his soul ripping to shreds. He felt the pain of his bones being plucked out of his body and his organs being dissolved.
That's not something any normal person can go through without forming some serious mental trauma, hence the reason for his heart demon.
However, doing such a thing isn't easy. If she was in the middle of a fight, she wouldn't be able to do it as it would take most of her concentration.
Those were just a few of the factors as to why she was able to win, but Mira also knew that if she had used her powers correctly and efficiently since the beginning, she never would've needed to run away with her tails between her legs.
She could've beaten him in a fight, fair and square!
'It seems there's still much for me to learn. When I get back, I'll immediately start looking at ways I can improve my power!' Mira thought to herself with a small smile on her face.
She always looked forward to improving herself.
With that said, Mira turned around and started making her way toward the Outer Court. For now, she really needed to meet up with Maria and get the girl to heal her. She'll think about everything else afterward.
