Divine Harem: My Sect of Heavenly Beauties

A yellow lightning bolt shot through the air and landed on Bai Li who was gathering Qi in his fist, pushing him a few metres away. But Bai Li still held on and deflected the lightning bolt to his right, sending it away using the Qi coated fist.

Just then, a gust of wind made his hair flutter as he raised his hands for the upcoming attack which came just after a second the previous lightning bolt destroyed a tree.

The heavy talon of the Thunderclaw Roc smashed into Bai Li, kicking him away like a small rock as he rolled on the dirt before coming to a halt. He put his trembling hand on the ground and tried to stand up, however he could feel every part of him crying in agony.

'Aghh! Fuck! Why is this bird's body so tough?'

Even as he groaned, he didn't forget his purpose. He knew he needed to have all attention of the Thunderclaw Roc so that Ying Yue could deal damage to it. Well, he didn't have any other choice.

No attack of his would break the defences of Thunderclaw Roc so he could only place all of his hopes on Ying Yue. She had injured it once so he was sure she would be able to do it again.

He just needed to give her the opportunity.

He took a deep breath and raised his head to look at the mighty Thunderclaw Roc who was making its way towards him. Every step of it caused ground to tremble as the lightning danced around it.

His lips tugged upwards as he shifted his neck to the side, earning a crack sound. Then, his body dropped forward as the ground beneath shattered, making his body blur as he shot towards the Thunderclaw Roc.

His eyes darted around, trying to find his partner in this battle but he could see no one. He got worried for a second that Ying Yue had ran away but he decided to trust her. Well, not like he could do anything other than fighting it.

Just then, he stepped on a rough rock as it trembled slightly, making his eyes widened and forcing him to jump to the sides. He rolled forward and came to halt, sensing a scorching feeling on his back.

His head snapped in that direction as he found a thick pillar of lightning rising from the ground. A frown appeared on his face as he cursed.

"Goddamn!"

He could feel the same trembling beneath his feet once again, so he didn't hesitate to abandoned his spot and resumed his run towards the Thunderclaw Roc. He looked at the enormous bird and could swear he saw mirth in them.

'Fuck! That big rooster is gloating. Where are you?'

Bai Li was under immense pressure as he dodged more and more pillars of lightning erupting randomly from the ground but that was the least of his worries. The main problem was that even the Thunderclaw Roc had joined the assault and attacked him with its beak and talons.

'Where the hell are you?'

The Thunderclaw Roc opened its beak wide as it tried to swallow Bai Li, making him feel a sense of deja vu. However, he didn't even have time to think as he rolled under the Thunderclaw Roc to dodge its beak.

Just then, he heard a sound of something tearing apart from his behind along with a loud screech filled with agony and pain, that almost made him deaf. He raised his hand in a stance of fists and turned around, only to see Ying Yue coming to a halt just before her.

With a surprised look, he looked at the under belly of Thunderclaw Roc where he had just rolled out from and saw a pool of black blood filling even more with the dark river falling like a waterfall from the enormous bird.

A Maddening light flashed into the Thunderclaw Roc's eyes as its aura surged around it, making everything struck with beams of lightning. It then flapped its wings, despite being in an injured and tried to soar in the sky.

"Tsk! It's still trying to go in the skies. It knows the wound will open up even more, worsening the injury but it's still trying that."

Ying Yue cursed under her breath as she ran in the opposite direction of the Thunderclaw Roc. There was no way she would survive under the lightning. A single hit and she would turn into ashes. That's why she simply ran away.

She could have used her Shadow Step but her Qi reserves were running low so she couldn't afford that. Using Shadow Step in living being's shadow consumed more Qi than using shadow step on an inanimate objects. And the Qi consumption was even great if the living being was powerful.

That's why, even though she only used Shadow Step two times in the fight, one on the Thunderclaw Roc to injure its wings and second on Bai Li to utilise the opportunity he created, she had exhausted a lot of Qi.

However, things weren't looking good for them. They couldn't get close to the Thunderclaw Roc due to the Lightning field it created around itself and neither of them had any long range attacks.

But they had to stop it from rising into the skies because that would mean a death for them and even if they survived somehow, they wouldn't win.

The Thunderclaw Roc would shower lightning and its feathers which were heavy as a large rock on them. That would put an end to their ambitions.

Bai Li ran beside her as he looked back at the Thunderclaw Roc, already hovering in the air and rising with each moment. It was still injured so it's balance was off.

"What should we do? My body is already at it's limits. If I took one more attack from that guy, I'll die."

His words were true as his whole arm was charred and even his bones were visible, and his whole body looked battered and beyond saving.

Ying Yue casted a side glance at him and asked.

"Are you accurate in throwing things?"
