Chapter 774 - Grudges (1/2)
The Rainbow Longsword Sect was in a position between mortal danger and possibly just normal danger. At that moment, they were facing an enemy with five times their soldier count. The chance of them walking away alive was zero. However, they were not really in mortal danger. They were still able to fight as they had yet lost a single member to the Mutants. Even with 1,000 Mutants attacking, the martial artists were still able to make their stand. It would take some time before one made a mistake which would cause a chain reaction for the downfall of the entire sect.
The Mutants were pouring in with everything they have got but they were not making any progress at annihilating them! The martial artists were doing a good job at defending themselves well! Especially the Rainbow Longsword Sect. They were able to completely hold the Mutants from pushing forward with their secret art, the Halo Sword Formation.
The Halo Sword formation is the ultimate secret art of the Rainbow Longsword Sect. It involves 81 fighters, arranged in a 9x9 formation, which would spread out large like a net. The skill was so powerful that once deployed, even a Pinnacle stage of Level 4 martial artist would be killed. The sword formation was so mystical that not even the best martial artist could unravel the secret of this multi-user skill. It was said that the martial artists had to draw out the natural energy from the heavens and the earth. Naturally, the Mutants had no way of understanding it.
The formation had successfully stopped anyone from approaching the martial artists and had killed those who had tried. Several Level 4 Mutants had already fallen to the martial artists as they had severely underestimated their prowess.
The rest of the martial artists gathered close but not too close to the swordmasters to take down a few enemies that had tried to circumvent their formation.
Even though there was no way the Mutants could break through the sword formation, Ganyang Zhenren was still desperate for help. Him, being the swordmaster of his disciples, knew that his disciples had not perfected the skill. Not only that, they were mostly Level 3 swordmasters. Even though they were drawing power from natural energy, and were still able to hold back over a thousand Mutants, the disciples themselves would eventually fall due to the lack of qi. Once they were tired out, the Halo Sword formation would be broken.
Without the protection of this ultimate sword technique, they would not be able to hold back the attacks from a thousand Mutants. Once the enemy was given a chance to attack, the martial artists would not be able to defend themselves.
"Press on the attack!"
"Where is Alpha team? Use energy attacks!"
"Dumbfu*cks! The enemy's reinforcements are coming! We need to kill them off right now! All these Chinese dogs must die!" cried Walker with rage. He was the leader of this team of Mutants. He was also Lincoln's eldest son, the Vice-President of the Mutant Brotherhood.
Walker was so hateful towards China and its martial artists mainly because of Jiang Fei. During the war against the Bio-Humans of Japan, Jiang Fei had encountered the Frost Prince, Gid, Walker's twin brother!
Unfortunately for Gid, he had encountered Jiang Fei at his first mission. The man was a spoiled brat that had been pampered since birth. He was arrogant, egoistic, and self-grandiose. However, no matter how one flaunted one's family background, it would mean absolutely nothing to Jiang Fei. It took only a single slice to kill Gid.
During that period, the Mutants had only just acquired information about Japan's Bio-Enhancement technology. They had yet to master the technology to apply the upgrade to themselves and could not avenge their fallen family member.
Today, they had enhanced themselves to reach the Pinnacle stage of Level 4. Walker brought in an army of his own kind to trample upon the martial artists. He would have his revenge against the martial artists! Against Jiang Fei!
Countless of elemental attacks were bombarded on the martial artists. Fortunately, every projectile that was thrown at their direction was deflected away with the powerful Halo Sword formation. Although they were all safe from the attacks, all 81 members of the sect were extremely tired.
They were only able to last this long because of their sheer willpower. Their qi had dropped to the bottom of the barrel.
"Brother Bai! Where are you?! We are going to fall!' cried Ganyang Zhenren. Most of the Level 4 fighters were only able to support them by the side while the weaker disciples were trying their best to maintain the Halo Sword formation. At this point, they were basically running on fumes!
