Chapter 337: Ling Xue (2/2)

Looking at Ling Xue, she quickly pondered.

”Letting none of them live is a good option but saving her is better”, said Xue Yue.

”She may have some helpful information... Alright, we save her.”

Ming Yue crept closer and waited for a moment, watching the battle closely. With none of them noticing her, this was an opportunity to kill one of the Mu Clansmen.

”How long will you run, Ling Xue? Your strength is waning and soon, the Yao Clan will lose one of their only kin.”

One of the Mu Clansmen shouted out and he charged forward, swinging his guandao. His eye glowed of a white color as Ling Xue suddenly felt a mental attack. Her mind suddenly assaulted with thoughts of fear and panic.

”Geh, to think you would ambush me like this! Do you have no shame?!” she shouted out.

As quickly as she could, Ling Xue shook off the attack and blew into the jade flute, sending out waves of sword howls at them.

”Hmph, that damn flute of yours won't save you from this!”

This clansmen shot a ray from his third eye but it missed, striking and cracking the stone.

Ming Yue continued to track the fight, planning her attack before a thought came to mind.

”If the Mu Clan are capable to sending out mental attacks, are they resistant to it as well?”

She wasn't entirely sure that this gamble would pay off but at least it would be an opportunity to use her mental techniques.

The colorless sphere in her mind rippled as she gather the enery into four dense needles. With a thought she sent it forward, entering the mind of the four Mu Clansmen. In that moment, all of them felt their mind go blank as they could not think at all. They froze in place as their thoughts had been disrupted.

”Whistle Wind.”

Four blades of wind formed almost at the same time and flew forth, aimed for the cracks between their helmet.

Two heads flew, decapitated by the strike while the other two clansmen managed to recover quick enough to avoid the attack.

”Damn it, there's someone else! Whose there?! Show yourself!” they called out but nothing happened.

Instead, a black fog began to manifest, slowly covering the road.Ling Xue looked at it, gritting her teeth before entering the expanding fog. As it grew closer and closer towards the clansmen, they struggled to make their choice before tightening the grip on their weapons and entering as well.

They could barely see a thing, turning and spinning around, trying to find something.

”Who are you? Why would you dare to interfere in the Mu Clan's affairs?”

”If you allow us to take that woman's head, the Mu Clan will reward you!”

Both of them spoke out but were met with silence. And that silence gave rise to fear, growing in their hearts.

All of the sudden, the fog twisted and turned as Ming Yue appeared behind one of them. With her Pearlstone Dagger in one hand and her Zephyr Claws in the other, she silently came up. Neither of them noticed her as they were slowly being overtaken by fear.

In a single move, she placed the Zephyr Claws on the helmet of one of them, grinding into it and blocking their view and stabbed the Pearlstone Dagger into his neck. Just like that she killed him and dragged him into the darkness, leaving only one on his own.

When he turned, he could not find his comrade and his face turned white.
