Chapter 474: A Sorry Escape
With Ming Dong and Dugu Feng acting as two Earth Saint Master bodyguards, Bi Yuntian’s safety was at its highest point. The princess was extremely safe right by her side.
At that moment, another large wave of energy shot down from the sky. Soon the entire ground was filled with several holes from explosions that sent large pieces of rubble toward Ming Dong and the others.
“Careful!” Ming Dong cried out as he ran to protect Bi Yuntian and the princess. The sword in his hand danced as he moved to bring down the stone in front of him.
Dugu Feng himself wielded a giant sword that seemed to dance with flames right by his side. Despite their strengths, there were far too many stones for them to fend off. With the waves of explosion that happened every so often, a finger-sized stone finally broke through their defensive net. With a whistling sound, it shot straight for Bi Yuntian before ultimately leaving behind a small cut that allowed blood to show.
“Ah!” A pained cry came from behind Bi Yuntian. Turning around, she could see that the princess was clutching her left shoulder where blood was flowing freely, staining her clothes with a red tint.
“Yue’er, are you alright?” Bi Yuntian ignored her own wound and quickly looked back to the pain-stricken You Yue.
“I-I’m fine.” You Yue spoke, but her pained expression was proof enough that she was enduring a large amount of pain.
Seeing Bi Yuntian and You Yue sustain an injury, Dugu Feng and Ming Dong both let show a startled expression.
“Goddamnit!” Ming Dong cursed. “The battle is getting far too rowdy. We can’t delay any longer. Hurry into the cellar!” Soon after, everyone quickened their pace.
The battle in the sky grew more and more intense. While the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom held an advantage with numbers, their strength was beneath the Qinhuang Kingdom’s Heaven Saint Master. Thus, the nine Heaven Saint Masters were completely suppressed by the six Heaven Saint Masters to the point where they weren’t even able to fight back, forcing them to rely on just their battle skills.
All sorts of Advance Earth Tier Battle Skills continued to be thrown about from each of the nine Heaven Saint Masters. Whenever they made contact with the individuals from the Changyang clan, they would explode with a terrifyingly huge amount of energy that would distort the space around them. With the intensity of the energy, the space seemed like it would split itself apart.
Although there was a very noticeable difference between a Heaven Tier Battle Skill and an Earth Tier Battle Skill in terms of power, when a Heaven Saint Master used an Earth Tier Battle Skill, the power from it should not be underestimated — especially when nine Heaven Saint Masters used one at the same time. The amount of power that would overlap each other was tantamount to several Heaven Tier Battle Skills clashing and could shatter the firmaments of the heavens.
“Ah!” Suddenly, a cry of agony could be heard, piercing cleanly through the exploding sounds of battle. Turning to look, everyone could see the Heaven Saint Master that was fighting Chang Wuji had his right hand chopped off. The arm flopped to the ground while blood sprayed out of the stump like rain.
Chang Wuji’s eyes had a thirst for blood in them as he stepped forward without letting the man escape him. With a thundering clap of sound, his sword stabbed straight through the man’s chest.
“Elder Ping Yun!” The other man fighting Chang Wuji cried out in shock. Charging forward, he attempted to stab Chang Wuji through the chest as well.
With an ice-cold expression, Chang Wuji pulled his sword out from the man’s chest and swung his sword with all his might toward the incoming enemy. By himself, how could a Third Cycle Heaven Saint Master be a match for Chang Wuji? With a single thrust of his sword, Chang Wuji repelled the man.
Chang Wuji’s face was especially gloomy and a fury radiated from his eyes. There was no way he didn’t know what was happening down below him, but with the two men he was fighting annoying him to death, there had been no way for him to go down to save anyone.
Chang Wuji’s gaze locked onto the chest of the man he had stabbed. With a single step, he flew toward him, and with his sword hand falling downward, he moved to lop off the man’s head. Although using a Heaven Tier Battle Skill would easily kill his opponent, it would also require a large amount of Saint Force. Not only that, but the Changyang clan down below would be hit with the fallout. A Heaven Tier Battle Skill would decimate the entire manor.
Seeing the sword falling down at a tremendous speed, the man’s face fell with shock. First he had lost his right arm, then he had a hole straight through his chest; the two of these two wounds had already brought forth a tremendous amount of damage. He wouldn’t even have enough energy to defend himself against another strike, so he opted to fall toward the ground.
With a sneer, Chang Wuji’s sword tip shot forth ten meters in an instant. Quickly, the sword came down with an executing slash that bisected the man’s head, killing his soul.
Thus, the very first individual from the Heavenly Eagle Kingdom was killed by Chang Wuji.
“Elder Ping Yun!” A grief-filled voice called out from the man who had been sent flying back from Chang Wuji’s earlier blow.
“Heavenly Eagle Kingdom. Today I will ensure that you pay a heavy price for your actions.” Chang Wuji exclaimed as he brought his sword flying toward the other man with a swift motion.
After seeing Chang Wuji kill someone, the other five Heaven Saint Masters from the Qinhuang Kingdom grew excited. Their movements grew quicker and, in the span of several seconds, the enemy side gained new wounds. Blood spilled from their mouths as their momentum fell like an arrow at the end of its flight.
“Bang!” Suddenly, a splurt of blood could be seen falling through the sky. Xiao Tian’s hand had rammed straight into one of the Heaven Saint Masters head, pulverizing it into a bloody mess.
