Chapter 70 - I Agree! (2/2)

”May I ask who this fellow cultivator is?”

Shinja looked cold as ice, but she answered anyway.

”Shinja Avril, Four Stars Mercenary.”

Hary mouth twitched, he can see that Shinja is at the 1st stage of the Core Formation Realm, but the fact that she is a Four Stars Mercenary showed that she could fight those with cultivation level higher than herself, and it wasn't just one or two stages higher, he himself is at the 5th Stage, but his aptitude is very ordinary, unless he uses a few tricks, he can't fight anyone with a cultivation higher than himself.

”May I know if this fellow cultivator is planning to monopolize all the wisps? We don't need to fight over it, there is enough for both parts to be satisfied, we can reach an agreement here.”

Shinja and the others heard that and their faces became dark.

”I agree.”

Hary felt relived for a second, but then he heard Shinjas next words.

”This is the agreement, you and your bunch will leave straight away and I will pretend that you didn't talk about my friends like they were some kind of commodity that you can buy and sell anywhere.”

Hary and everyone were taken aback.

Friends? Wisp friends? Could they have heard it wrong?

”Do you take me for a fool? Who would believe those words?”

Shinja didn't give a damn if he believe her or not, but for the sake of not engaging in battle and having her side suffering casualties, she still played along.

”If you don't believe me, then take out a blood contract and right down exactly what I said, I will sign it right in front of you, if even with a blood contract you don't believe me, then there is nothing I can do other than fight.”

This time, Hary couldn't answer, if she really signs the contract, then it will prove that she is speaking the truth, Hary has lived for a long time already, he can more or less tell that she will definitely sign it just to prove her words, his face then turned vicious, he needs that youth who is probably a Foundation Establishment wisp no matter what, otherwise he will have no hope of advancing anymore.

”I don't care if you are telling the truth or not, I want my wisps, if you don't retreat or make an agreement to share them with us, we can only fight then.”

Shinja then took out her frozen hairpin, it was a weapon made for Core Formation cultivators, this one in particular improved the flow of water element of her skills, she was intending to use it during the Core Formation Realm Tribulation, but thanks to Krune 'eating' two of the lightnings, she was able to hold without damaged the hairpin.

Ao behind her already took his sword out, he might not be able to do anything to the Core Formation cultivator, but he is absolutely confident against the others, he specially wants to test his combat prowess now that he opened his Spiritual Energy Meridians, and Huse, who was at the 9th stage of Foundation Establishment, was a good starter.

Yusa doesn't have a weapon for use, but she brought a lot of runestone formations, she knows that she bests at support, so she will help everyone from behind, not to mention that she also can fight those above her level, so she should not have any issue on holding back a few of those middle stage Foundation Establishment guys.

Both Sides were tense, it was obviously that none would retreat, the demon beast signed a contract with Lakin that they would help defend the cave, so they couldn't leave either, Lakin and Ruik also have Spiritual Energy Meridians, so they too can fight cultivators above their levels, they selected one of the middle stage guys each and were ready to advance.

Shinja looked behind her and sent a Divine Sense message to everyone.

”It has already been a few days since Krune left for the Rainbow Sect Secret Realm, as long as we can defend against this attack, it won't matter if they flee and bring reinforcements later, Krune will definitely have finished everything by then, so focus on keeping yourselves alive, no need for desperate attempts.”

Everyone nodded and got ready, on the other side, seeing that Shinja's group was not going to give up made Hary's face darken, he raised his hand and then pointed forward.

”Attack!”

Shinja stepped forward to receive Hary, she was the only one that could fight Hary Head on, Hary was a flying swords user, but Shinja's water tight defence had no flaws the he could exploit, Shinja had already opened her Spiritual Energy Meridians as well, although she started to cultivate the Myriad Energies Technique after Ao, her soul power and talent had been higher than his to start with, so she finished creating all nine pseudo energy meridians almost at the same time as him, not to mention her Pure Yin Body, Soul Technique and the help of her Spiritual Weapon, putting all those together, she was able to jump four stages and hold Hary Back.

As for Ao, he disappeared from where he was, Huse, who was very confident a second ago due to his 9th stage Foundation Establishment cultivation, was taken by surprise! Ao, who was moving in his direction, is by no means any slower than himself, in fact, he is definitely faster!

The two of them engaged in battle straight away, Huse immediately understood that he is weaker than this 7th stage Foundation Establishment guy, so he immediately took out a Spiritual Energy Burning pill and swallowed it without thinking twice!

This is one of the alchemist's pills that can only be used in emergencies, it will increase Spiritual Energy usage rate by several times, it will then provide a great boost in the cultivators combat prowess for some time, but it also had its side effects, after the effect is over, the cultivator would be in a weakened state for several days and if the side effects aren't treated in time, the foundation might be forever damaged, eliminating any hope of further breakthroughs, the only chance will be to destroy their own dantians or cores and start again from zero.

With the help of the pill, Huse was finally able to cope with Ao.

Lakin and Ruik were fight one 6th Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators each, thanks to the Spiritual Energy Meridians, they were having no problem in holding their ground.

On Yusa's side, she was holding back three of the Middle Stage Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time, she was also providing support to the demon beasts who were in disadvantage, she too can trash someone like Huse at her level if he didn't use that pill, so it wasn't any big deal to be able to hold three middle stage guys while providing support.

As for the rest of the demon beasts, they were using their higher numbers to hold back the rest of the enemies, with Yusa providing support every time things went south, they were in fact the ones taking the least of the burdens.

Yusa looked around and kept everything inside her Divine Sense, although she could be said to be the key behind their defence, she knew that her and the others battle didn't matter much anymore, there were only one battle that really mattered at moment, surprisingly, it was Shinja's Core Formation Level Battle, but Ao vs Huse battle.

Huse had consumed a pill that further increased his battle prowess, but she knew that such pill had time limit and huge side effects, so as long as Ao defeat Huse or the pill's effect ends, the Core Formation guy fighting Shinja in the skies will be forced to retreat, otherwise, his entire force will be wiped out, the problem is, there is no way he hasn't noticed that problem, so, what does he plan to do about this situation?

Yusa didn't need to have Krune's IQ to understand Hary's next step, at that moment, a runestone formation appeared in her hands and was constantly being charged with her spiritual energy, no one noticed the Runestone and… the smile on her face.
