The final three xiantians that appeared were support experts, meaning the fire element expert and the wind element expert were supposed to be pressuring Hartley serving as the vanguard force and then the support team would step in and lend support to smoothly finish him off with precision from the sidelines.
There was a 1st layer xiantian expert with the wood element affinity, she would take care of any wounds inflicted on the others, she was holding a green whip with thorns all over it, the other was a earth element 1st layer xiantian expert, if one of the vanguard was struggling or suffered any injuries, he would step in and tie up the opponent with his incredible defense until the team member can be healed and rejoin the battle, the third was a water element 2nd layer xiantian who was a specialist bowman, if the opponent was tricky he would be the artillery for the others to keep the opponent on his heels.
Their battle plan was for these 3 to guard the exits to make sure the opponent doesn't escape easily, but once the battle starts they should join in as quickly as possible.
They were vigilant in their duties as they guarded all possible escape routes making sure no one came to provide assistance, the target was after all the member of a local clan.
Ten seconds into fight they heard two huge explosions upstairs and decided that the opponent was going to stand his ground and fight so they decided to leave their post and quickly join in the main battle.
The earth element expert and the wood element expert came up the stairs at the front of the second floor while the water element expert approached through the utility stairs at the back.
When all three were on the second floor they could not sense any xiantian fluctuations, all they saw was a mortal teenage youth dressed in red robes covered with blood splatters all over his face and clothes, the water element expert who approached from the back was shocked speechless when he saw the gruesome sight of the elder's body split in two, the bottom half around five meters from the top half, sweat started to flow down his back when he grabbed a long brown wooden bow from his shoulder, notched an arrow and prepared to fire.
Hartley saw two experts from the front and one from the back, the strongest one was the one at his rear who was preparing to fire an arrow, even though they started to immediately take action, in the eyes of Hartley who was still in state of focus, their actions were painfully slow..
Hartley threw out the throwing knife in his right hand, this knife was also made from the black steel, the same material used to make his black sword, he applied 20x gravity repel on the knife and it flew out like a shell leaving the barrel of a howitzer.
The water element expert had notched an arrow in his bow when a black light flew towards him at the speed of light leaving visible ripples through the air, he released the arrow he had prepared, but before it could travel five meters the black knife collided with the silver arrowhead creating blinding white sparks which forced the water element expert to close his eyes for a split second, but the black knife didn't stop there, it carved right through the middle of the arrow shaft, each half peeling away in the opposite direction, the water elemental expert didn't even get a chance to open his eyes again when the black knife ripped through his heart with a squelching sound and went through his back followed by a spray of red, then continued on to be stopped ten meters away in a thick wooden beam.
After Hartley had thrown out his black knife, he then flashed forward using gravity steps again like a teleport, in an instant he was face to face with the last two 1st layer experts, instinctively the earth element expert activated his earth armor, a brown layer of light covered him from toes to neck, as he shouted for the wood element expert to be careful.
The petit girl wearing a yellow dress was in the motion of slashing out her whip when Hartley applied zero gravity to her body making her lose her balance with a surprised scream and float upwards, hovering ten feet high.
Hartley immediately used his star fist technique and punched towards the earth element expert with blue lights surrounding his right arm, the man tried to move backwards but was a tad too slow, the punch landed squarely on his chest with a loud thumping sound forcing him back five steps while he puked out blood with a scared look in his eyes.
