Chapter 370 - The Siege (Part-3) (2/2)

One of the cultivators could not help but retort, ”Where did you learn that?”

Ryuu tilted his head as he send a pitying glance at the person as he spoke, ”Oh poor you, you did not know the secret behind meditation was deep sleep.”, he then made his way towards him as he squeezed his shoulder as he spoke, ”I pity you brother.”

True-Spear could not help himself anymore as he bowled over in laughter as he used his spear to keep himself in standing position albeit with great difficulty, as he wheezed hard he managed to speak somehow, ”Brother Ryuu you are a riot, never in all my life have I seen the ability ti make others dumbfounded like you.”

Ryuu smirked back towards him as he gave him an overly exaggerated bow, before continued speaking, ”Why thank you kind sir.”

Chasing Wind rubbed her temples as she spoke, ”Now I can understand why Sister Zywia is always seemed so frustrated and incensed.”

”Finally someone understands my plight.”, Zywia spoke with hope shining in her eyes as Ryuu spoke with a snort, ”I do not know what happened to you but I prefer the Zywia I saw the first time I met you calm and collected.”

Zywia turned towards him as she spoke, ”I prefer the younger you who was shy and gentle child who did not act like a crazy person.”

Ryuu snorted as he spoke, ”You got only one life leave to the fullest.”

A person snorted as he heard Ryuu's saying as he spoke, ”Really now, we could easily reincarnate if we choose to do so.”

Ryuu nodded towards him as he spoke, ”You are right my friend but you will not be able to lead the life of Daoist True-Sword anymore but someone else entirely.”

Frozen Ocean looked towards Ryuu with her eyes narrowed before a small smile formed on her face, 'He sure is charismatic making sure that tension that was rising because of the drums of war dissipate at the same time making fill with hope he slowly and surely is becoming the driving force, I hope to see where his future leads to that is if he survives long enough.', her brows furrowed upon remembering the sight of him puking blood, it was horrifying she hoped Ryuu would survive.

Loud blaring of horn drew everyone's attention as their expression grew grim, every cultivator ran outside as they were greeted by an enormous army slowly surrounding the caves from all side, the sheer number seemed to swallow the desert, their hooves seemed the shake the earth as they were marching to what seemed like sand storm forming by their feet which, not to mention their cries seemed to destroy their previous tranquil atmosphere.

Everyone's heart hammered at the sight as they gulped upon seeing the sheer size of the enemy, Dhaeq who appeared near Ryuu spoke in a solemn tone, ”Brother, over there.”, as he pointed towards a certain direction.

Ryuu looked towards the direction where he pointed as he spotted to what seemed like a lizard walking on two legs, covered with bones and body parts of various creatures, it was dragging a large sword made up of bone behind it as other creature of the horde was keeping a distance from it.

”Is it the Emperor?”

Dhaeq nodded as Ryuu spoke with a frown, ”I hope you are ready, when they cross the marker I will activate it.”

Dhaeq nodded at that as he spoke, ”Of course hope your rune works.”

Ryuu smirked at him as he spoke, ”It would work brother my arr…. I mean my rune will work you have my word, if it fails we will use the most effective method since the time of our ancestors.”

Dhaeq gained a blood thirsty look on his face as he spoke, ”We will bash them with our own hands I like the idea.”
