Chapter 176 – Escape (2/2)

‘Peerless Swords!’ While the incoming stances were held in the air, slowed down, Ye Wei flung thirty-six Qi swords towards his enemies.

“What!?” None of the Lu’s expected the assassin could fight back in such dire situation. They saw the Qi swords coming, but they couldn’t predict the swords’ path.

Only two out of five managed to dodge the Qi blades with luck’s aid, the rest of the guards’ bodies were penetrated by Ye Wei’s attack, died at the spot and flew backwards.

Ye Wei did not reserve his Qi, he used all his tricks in hopes that he could take control of the situation.

“I didn’t think I have ever been humiliated like this!” Lu Li’s eyes became completely red, with his pulsating hand he took a scroll out of his bag.

“Ttts!”

‘You brought this to yourself, let’s see if you can slither out of this forbidden Myst stance!’ Lu Li looked at the scroll in his hand, his eye twitched. Felt slightly uneasy having to use something costy. ‘This was my last forbidden high-level Myst scroll! I can’t believe I have to use what grandpa left me all those years ago on a situation like this!’

‘Ivy Prison!’ Lu Li ground his teeth, numerous sequence of dark, glowing runes burst outs the moment the scroll was torn and became dim.

The runes formed eighteen vines of runic ivies, thick like a giant python it grew and flew towards Ye Wei.

The vines caught up with Ye Wei’s speed. chased him down, intertwined and linked together, forming a circular prison around him despite his best efforts to escape.

Just moments later, Ye Wei was caged.

“Kill him!”

Lu Li’s bloodthirsty smile grew wider as he saw the trouble making assassin being trapped.

“Bang! Bang!”

Lu Li spread his fingers, created a tiny opening on the ivy prison. The Lu’s condensed prime Warriors followed their leader’s lead, fired their best stances at Ye Wei.

Flames, Qi swords, spectral beasts, were forming in the sky, alongside the runic ivy, tens of stances were crushing against Ye Wei simultaneously.

“You’ve killed a lot of our men, and you made me waste two of my forbidden high-level Mystscrolls, I really want to get some information from you but I also want you do die!” Lu Li shouted.

The runic ivy cage was no wider than three meters, and it was the target of over thirty Lu’s Warriors.

Even if Ye Wei grew wings on his back, there was no way he could escape the impending doom.

“It’s a shame that the assasin can’t do more but I guess that is that is good, I don’t want trouble. It will probably draw more Lu’s to the city ultimately.”

“What do you mean? Don’t you want to fight? Don’t you want our city back?” The cultivators from Green Moon City’s martial families began to speculate

Inside the prison, Ye Wei created a spectral selenic beast and was still under the effect of starblink steps, he tried both to break and to escape the constriction but did not have any luck. He frowned, focused on trying to break the prison while his selenic armor was still holding together.

‘This is too tough, I just can’t…’ Ye Wei could probably break the prison if he had more time but he was pressure by a number of stances that could soon take his life.

“Ye Wei! The Lu’s returned prime Warrior is coming, get out of there!” The runic badge vibrated, Lu Feng’s panicking voice sounded in Ye Wei’s head.

‘Why is Lu Qianyin here!?’ Lu Feng recognized the approaching Lu elder, not by the blurred face but by the speed enhancing stance he was using.

‘Returned prime!?’ Ye Wei gasped, he did not plan to be trapped, and certainly did not plan to fight a returned prime Warrior in such condition.

‘I need to get out of here!’

Ye Wei flicked his sleeve, and a dark scroll appeared in his palm.

At the price of three hundred thousand, the Instant Shadow Scrolls were not used by many, upon activation, Ye Wei became a mist, escaped the prison in vapor form.

“I will be back to kill the rest of you!” Ye Wei taunted as he reappeared briefly in human form, shot out thirty-six more Qi swords at some of the Lu’s weaker men. The cultivator did not have the power to defend themselves against Ye Wei’s swift strikes.

Ye Wei turned into a thin mist again, reappeared a few hundred yards from the tents inside the woods, as the scroll’s effect fell off, he used the Starblink Steps again, turned into a flash and melted into North Hill Bay’s dense vegetation.
