65 Masters Power (1/2)

The assassin leader pointed to two men next to him, ”You two, go play with them.”

”Yes sir!” ”Haha!”

The two men looked quite different from each other. One was bulky and muscular while the other was lean and fast. They activated their beast arts as they approached. The larger one grew larger in size as horns sprouted from his forehead. It was the same Bull Transformation Art that Ji Ming used during the tournament. The other one turned into a hairy rat man with long sharp claws like little swords and looked almost like an overgrown groundhog.

”Switch, I'll take the big guy!” Zhou Ziyun yelled.

”Ok!” Lin Qingcheng replied as she faced off against the clawed enemy.

The bull man was offended by this as Zhou Ziyun was still in the Mind Focusing Realm.

”Bitch, don't look down on me! Mooo!”

He charged at Zhou Ziyun. Zhou Ziyun activated her Flying Sentinel armor to dodge the charging bull. Somehow, she was able to get away and find herself behind him. Even with Flying Sentinel and her power boost, she was probably around Level 10 of Mind Focusing Realm in speed and power. However, Zhou Ziyun felt a strange boost of unnatural energy and she was able to avoid the full speed charge.

She didn't hesitate as she launched her strongest attack towards the bull man's back. Her immortal saber sang as it cut a jade arc in the air. The white light crashed against the bull man's spiritual cloak and managed to split it, drawing blood. It seemed her saber was also more powerful than usual.

”That's a nice weapon!” He grimaced in pain from the cut.

Zhou Ziyun gasped for air as she stared at her opponent. He was still too strong! The gap between Spirit Initiate and Mind Focusing was too large. She used the most powerful attack in the Flying Dragon Saber Art but it only caused a small cut!

”Ziyun, don't be scared...” A soft ghostly voice drifted between the two.

”Master!”

”Who's there? Show yourself!”

Both Zhou Ziyun and the bull man heard the voice and looked around for the source. Zhou Ziyun was sure it was Chen Wentian but she couldn't see him.

”I won't fall for that trick again! There's nobody to save you!” The bull man roared in anger.

He charged over again but this time, the Insightful Swallow leaped out of Zhou Ziyun's hand. It seemed to have a mind of it's own as it spun towards her opponent.

Sshhiiinng! Splat!

The blade sang as it sliced completely through the the bull man's arm as he tried to block.

”Ahhhhh!” He almost fell as he clutched his stump of an arm in agony.

”Ziyun, go to Qingcheng...” Chen Wentian's voice sounded again.

Zhou Ziyun turned to see Lin Qingcheng was barely holding off the claws of her attacker. She looked pretty tired but her immortal armor provided her an impenetrable shield.

The assassins' leader frowned, ”Not good, they have some secret methods, everybody attack with full power, suppress them!”

The grassland instantly filled with fourteen bestial auras as the high level Spirit Initiate Realm cultivators unleashed their beast cultivation arts. There were various half beast transformations that turned the assassins into half wolves, half lions, half bulls, and more.

Zhou Ziyun got to Lin Qingcheng and they stood back to back as they stared at the army of savage beast men.

”Elder sister, did master talk to you?” Lin Qingcheng asked.

”Yeah... wait...”

”Girls, don't be so tense.” Chen Wentian's voice laughed in their ear.

”What?” They were both shocked and looked around but found only enemies. What was going on?
