Chapter 84 - The Secret Palace Wing (1/2)
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Ever since Feng Ying arrived at Invincible Sect, the system started acting up 80% of the time. What did it mean when it told Feng Ying to defend the sect by himself? If he had the capabilities, would he have had to set up the Soul Confundus Array earlier?
He could handle one or two Soul Formations, but asking him to defend against fifteen Soul Formations was asking him to court death!
No way!
Who was he to attempt to defend the sect by himself anyway? Shen Ying, the Sect Master, was sleeping while enemies attempted to invade her sect. He was here to take revenge, yet he was expected to defend her sect on her behalf? What kind of logic was that? He refused to take on this mission! Refuse! He had to wake Shen Ying up no matter what.
He was just about to ignore the invaders and barge into the Palace Wing to wake Shen Ying up, but it was too late. A loud sound from something collapsing came from the bottom of the hill. In the next moment, Yu Hai Heng and all the other Soul Formation cultivators appeared on the public square in front of Ying Feng.
“The Master of the Soul Chasing Tower is capable indeed,” Yu Hai Heng mocked. “You’re just a Nascent Soul, yet you’re able to set up a Soul Confundus Array. It’s a pity that the array could only hold us back for a while and not forever. You can’t escape death after all.”
“Yu Hai Heng!” Yu Hong glared at him and said, “You dared to invade our Invincible Sect. Aren’t you afraid that our Master would beat you up again?”
“Hahaha…” he suddenly burst into laughter. “You all really think I’m that hopeless.”
He calmly fiddled around with the Sword Dao in his hands and said, “That demon Yi Qing has already been lured away with an invitation to a duel that I’ve asked someone to send earlier. Even that man, Lonemoon, has been locked away with the others in the Immortal Ascension Pagoda. Of course, the fact that we’re here shows that we’ve done ample preparation.”
Feng Ying’s face drained of color. He turned toward the group of people in shock. Shen Ying isn’t really gone, right? Is that why the girls refused to let him go and call her?
“Who says my Sect Master isn’t here!” Yu Hong had a shocked expression as well. Elder Yi Qing was the one who was invited to the duel, what does that have to do with the Sect Master?
“Hmph, you don’t have to act unafraid,” Yu Hai Heng patiently replied. He waved toward the people behind him and said, “She’s not here now, and even when she finds out about this next time, she will be trapped in the pagoda like the rest if she dares to seek revenge from the Yu Family. All of you can forget about escaping today!”
As soon as he finished speaking, ten of the Soul Formation cultivators floated into the sky. All kinds of sorcery shot toward the ground.
“Retreat!” Feng Ying shouted as he set up a defense array. Gritting his teeth, he rushed forward and tackled seven to eight Soul Formation cultivators. Yu Hong and Si Yu rushed forward behind him.
There were too many enemies. Each of the girls handled one Nascent Soul cultivator, yet they still didn’t gain any advantage. A few of the Foundation Establishment disciples were swept aside by the enemies. Only Yu Hong and Si Yu managed to put up a fight.
Feng Ying allowed the system to exert its full potential and forcefully increased his cultivation level to the late stage of Soul Formation. The system activated all the support it could offer, yet it was only just enough to delay seven to eight cultivators – and Feng Ying still had to support Yu Hong and Si Yu. He could not hang on for much longer.
Indeed, after about 30 seconds, one of the cultivators summoned a rain of swords which filled the entire sky. The swords flew down toward Feng Ying and the girls. Feng Ying had no choice but to retreat. As he ran toward the other girls, he turned to shout at Yu Hong and Si Yu, “Go back into the array!”
Unfortunately , it was too late. The two girls could not run back to the array in time. Si Yu had undergone the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, so this rain of swords were nothing to her. With a sweep of her fist, she shielded body from the swords. Yu Hong, on the other hand, did not have it so easy. The spirit swords cut her body one after another. Blood began to flow out of the wounds.
“Senior Sister!” Thankfully, Si Yu reacted quickly. She turned and ran to Yu Hong’s side, shielding her from several swords.
Yu Hai Heng, who had been watching from the side, frowned. His expression became more focused as he suddenly conjured up white wind blades with both hands and threw them toward the two girls. There were far more wind blades than there were spirit swords in the rain of swords.
