Chapter 316: Disappointing End (1/2)

”Is it me or has it there been much less of them?”

Tuan looked around with his staff before smashing one of the soldiers to the ground and tossing them off.

Everyone glanced at each other before nodding.

”Perhaps, their regeneration is finally at its limit”, they thought.

However, they then noticed the commotion brought by Ming Yue's group and the bodies they left. All of them felt shock by this.

”Who are they? One focuses on the Wind Dao and the other is talented in the Light Dao. Their cooperation needs work but, for them to do this? They aren't ordinary.”

With their experience and cultivation, they noticed several aspects about these two. Most importantly, Ming Yue and Hua Xiong was on their side. With the pressure lessening on them, they took the opportunity to study the two young cultivators.

”The one with the sword is good. Quick, decisive, and accurate, she has definitely killed many before. Her potential is excellent.”

”A Mistral Fox and a Star Owl, what an interesting combination.”

”What about her comrade? A Light Dao Cultivator? It is rare to find one talented in that regard, even more so one that is practiced in combat. Not to mention, she is actually able to dispel whatever has been done to these people.”

”That is true. Either they have encountered this before or that Light Dao Cultivator is a monstrous genius.”

”Ha, the younger generation... We are already being outshined here.”

”If that's the case, we should show our strength. Push these damned soldiers back and make it easier for them to be dispeled.”

Their conversation was quick but a new plan had already formed. Immediately, they exerted much more power and began to force the Immortal Army back. The ones dealt with by Ming Yue and Hua Xiong had melted into a gray sludge. There was no movement, no attempt to regenerate, and just like that the Immortal Army quickly dwindled. With the help of the Sky Realm experts, Hua Xiong worked even faster as she grew more accustomed to destroying what had been done to them.

The battle was now practically won. All the Immortal Army had was numbers and regeneration, their biggest advantage. Without that, numbers meant little to the the experts they fought against.

With Ming Yue's search for Zuo Er, she scanned the surroundings, knocking off the masks of the soldiers to see if he was among them.

”Where is he? Don't tell me he hasn't returned yet?”

She looked around furiously, the thought that she had arrived before him was laughble but could be true. With each face, she only grew more frustrated. None of them were him but there were still plenty to more fight.

There were several hundred of them, nearing a thousand even and she had only gone through a fifth of them.

Ming Yue was practically a whirlwind as she tore through the army. At one point, she summoned a Blasting Gale and sent towards wherever it was dense with the army. It was becoming even more chaotic but Ming Yue thrived in the disruption, usig it to take down even more of these soldiers.

”Geh!”

She swiftly turned after hearing a cry and saw Hua Xiong getting grabbed by one of the soldiers. But the latter did not need help.

With an open palm, she shot off a blast of energy that blew out her attacker's midsection. The attack left only the legs and everything from the chest up.

”You're going too fast, she's barely keeping up.”

Xue Yue immediately pointed out the issue, one that the other experts noticed before. The pace at which the two fought at was different and while Hua Xiong tried her best to catch up, she was still lagging behind. As powerful as she was, close range combat was not her forte.

Ming Yue looked at Hua Xiong, breathing hard and fighting whatever slipped through Ming Yue's influence. She whistled, calling back Xiao Yin and Hei Yue, who were in the middle of attacking the soldiers.

”Protect her, don't worry about me”, she spoke to them bluntly, not allowing the two beasts to fight back.

They were concerned for her, looking with unease before going to aid Hua Xiong.
