Reincarnated as an Energy with a System

A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere as it landed on the woman. However, an invisible barrier showed visible black color when it blocked the lightning bolt.

A blast of fire too appeared from the side, but it too was blocked by the invisible barrier. The woman only smiled looking at the fruitless attempts of the two sect leaders.

"I am very weak right now, but even then I doubt you two will be able to stop me at all," the woman said. Suddenly, spikes of corpse Qi appeared from the barrier around her and attacked everything.

"Kacim!" Ikusa shouted.

"I know. Amitabha!" Kacim prayed and a golden barrier of their own blocked the spikes from coming in any closer. Ikusa didn't have any defensive ability against corpse Qi, so he needed to rely on Kacim if he wanted to save his Rainbow Phoenix and Lightning Panther.

"Tsk. These damned Buddhists, why are you guys so hell-bent on fighting us, huh?" the woman said.

Kacim said nothing and directly launched a blast of golden energy the woman's way. For the first time since they started fighting, the woman actually moved her hand at all.

She brought it forward and a sword made up of corpse Qi appeared in her hand. She slashed towards the incoming energy and destroyed it.

"My phoenix's flames help a bit against the corpse Qi, but not as much as your Buddhist techniques. I will instead focus on distracting her with my attacks while you deal the main damage," Ikusa said.

Kacim simply nodded.

Fire and lightning intertwined as it covered the massive sword in Ikusa's hand. Ikusa immediately dashed forward to cut at the woman, however, the barrier was still there, blocking his path.

At the same time, a black paw landed on the woman's back. That too was blocked by the barrier.

Before she could even attack either of these two, the Rainbow Phoenix flew at her with incredible speed, scratching the barrier with flaming talons.

Suddenly, all 3 fell back into the golden barrier prepared by Kacim. The woman got mad.

She was heavily damaged when she had found this body 2 years ago and had taken a lot of time to recuperate. As such, she didn't have time to increase the cultivation base of her new body and was on the same level as the others.

The only thing she had managed to do was slowly indoctrinate new female disciples and staff in her sect to follow her orders and brainwash them.

Seeing how weak her own new sect was, she had believed that all the sects in the area were probably similar as well. However, she neglected to check up on them just in case, and spend the entire time just reinforcing her soul to the body.

'F*ck. I need to do something about that Buddhist or I will lose in a battle of attrition,' she thought. A few new Buddhists had arrived down below as well and had started to turn the flow of the battlefield.

"My group is here to help," Ikusa said with a smug smile.

A hoard of new men and beasts walked into the battlefield as they started fighting the blue-skinned woman in the town.

Ikusa once more rushed forward and slammed the barrier with his sword, but this time the woman instead clashed with him with her created sword.

The Phoenix and the Panther also flew in at the same time to attack. The woman immediately turned around to attack them as well.

Ikusa did another sword attack, which this time was blocked by the barrier.

Kacim joined in the fray and started attacking the woman as well. A golden palm appeared out of nowhere, slamming down on the barrier from atop.

The woman was now fighting four different opponents at once. She had tried sending out corpse Qi to rot them, but the Buddhist's barrier would always cleanse the little amounts she sent out.

If she wanted to do any actual harm, she would've probably needed to send in over 50% of her Qi out to one of these two to completely turn into a corpse with it. But then, she would have to fight with the remaining one at half capacity and she wasn't sure she could survive that.

So, she decided to just fight while not losing as much qi as possible. Relentless clashes rang out from the fight as the woman tried her best to survive the attack.

A slash came from the right. She was used to it by now and was just waiting for it. The moment the slash came, instead of blocking it, she took the attack.

She let the sword attack her body. However, she wasn't naive enough to not have any defense prepared. Viscous black goo appeared from her blue skin as it grabbed onto the sword that had struck her.

Ikusa tried to pull, but he couldn't. While he was distracted, the woman took the chance to twist her body and disarmed Ikusa.

She quickly grabbed onto the handle and swung the sword once before blindly stabbing behind her.

"Your cat gets pretty dumb when it doesn't have you commanding it, doesn't it?" the woman asked as she pulled from sword from the lightning panther she had just stabbed in the stomach.

"NOOO!" Ikusa screamed, but it was too late. The panther's body rotted from where it was stabbed and soon became a walking corpse.

"Amitabha!" Kacim immediately released a golden light that released all the rot from the panther, but it couldn't save the panther's life.

"YOU!!" Ikusa was angry. The 3 of them including the phoenix got into a fight with the woman once more. The woman now held Ikusa's sword so they were a little more careful and with not having one less ally, they couldn't overwhelm as well as earlier.

However, the woman wasn't that well off either. She had already lost all of her blue colors and the skin was back to being regular color.
