Chapter 374: Blinding Flash (1/2)
Within this sea of demons, Ming Yue could not be caught. With everyone else fighting further away, she was deep behind enemy lines, rather she was in the thick of it.
”That's the three hundredth one.”
In her mind, Xue Yue counted the kills, announcing each milestone as it came. For Ming Yue, she just fought and killed nonstop.
But the element of surprise was lost and the opponents only grew stronger. Most of them were somewhere around the Human and Earth Realm and withe their bloodlines activated, their strength varied from the lower stages to the upper ones. After all, demons didn't follow the same systems as humans, their strength depends on their bloodlines.
The purer their bloodlines became, the stronger they would be, such a process required constant battle and cultivation. For some they had been strong since birth and for others, it required years of cultivation and suitable environments.
But none of that mattered to her, she was focused, only looking for the next enemy.
In the end, these demons only had their bloodlines, the equipment they wore could not compare to the Peak- Divine Grade sword, Drifting Sky.
That blade constantly moved, dying in fresh blood every second as Ming Yue never stood still.
True to her style, she was unpredictable and she was quick. Vanishing and reappearing, she would be in one place for a moment before attacking somewhere else. But when the explosions came, her head snapped towards the direction go the noise as what followed was the harrowing roar of the Silver Fur Ape.
”What happened?”
Her eyes focused on the smoke and dust that blew up.
”I have to get there!”
Ming Yue changed course, charging through the demons from behind, massacreing them. But there were too many demons and they knew her intentions.
”That human trying to retreat! Get her!” one of them yelled out.
Suddenly, the pressure on her grew higher as the demons became more reckless and wild. They swarmed around her only to be chopped down in one or two swings.
”Damn it, it's too early to use Pale Moon!”
She had only just entered the battle, not wanting to use this trump card to run back. Seeing her getting surrounded by even more demons, Xiao Yin chirped and hooted before diving down. Hearing the warning, Hei Yue quickly reutnred to Ming Yue's side.
Her claws lashed out, sending down dozens of rays of starlight. Then Xiao Yin's body began to glow with a white light as energy gathered around her. Growing brighter and brighter, the gray feathered owl flew down and spread her wings apart as she landed on top of Ming Yue's head. And the power she gathered in her body burst out into a blinding light.*
”My eyes! My eyes!”
”Agh, it burns! What happened?! What happened?!”
All the demons that looked found themselved blinded, clutching their eyes as they fell to the ground. In fact, everyone within several hundred meters had gone blind to some extent. Those closest to it had blood leaking from the cracks.
But Ming Yue was not affected for she did not look directly at the light nor did Xiao Yin direct to her. All that she saw was a flash of light before she felt Xiao Yin perch on her shoulder. When the light vanished, the young cultivator saw hundreds of demons wriggling in pain. Suddenly, she had space to move but it was not enough.
”Even if I run again, I'll be stopped by the countless other demons. But this, I can work with. Thank you, Xiao Yin.”
The owl gave a proud chirp before flying off.
With all of this open space, Ming Yue flew up without having to fear any attacks from below. Gazing at the situation, she saw the devastion caused by the cannons before identifying those very weapons. The demons worked quickly to load them for a second round but such a thing would not come to pass.
”Blasting Gale.”
Pointing her sword at the six cannons, she formed not one but ten of them and without missing a beat, they flew off. Soaring through the air, these Blasting Gales shot forth and crashed into the the cannons. A wave of explosions were set off as the cannons disharged when they were destroyed.
