Chapter 775 - The Strength of Soaring Cloud Sect (1/2)

"Hold on for a bit more! Reinforcements are coming!" cried Ganyang Zhenren as he relentlessly parried attack after attack.

"Heh! You talk an awful lot or an old man!" Walker roared as he appeared beside Ganyang Zhenren with a fist charged with fire.

WHAM!

Within a fraction of a second, Walker punched Ganyang Zhenren in his chest. Before he did, Ganyang Zhenren had managed to manifest a little qi around his body to protect himself from attack. That tiny little protection was enough to dampen Walker's attack to make it non-lethal. Even so, he was sent flying for about two meters before he turned in midair and landed on his feet. Walker was the same level as he, the Pinnacle stage of Level 4.

Ganyang Zhenren knew from that attack that the man had the same power level as he. It would be hard for him to actually kill him. Thankfully, the enemy would also find it hard to defeat him! With that thought in mind, Ganyang Zhenren had to draw the strongest enemy, which was him, to his side for a long as he could to buy as much time for the reinforcement to reach.

Ganyang Zhenren ran sideways, away from his comrades to bait Walker away from them.

"You dare!" Walker roared once again when he saw Ganyan Zhenren was running away from him.

While Ganyang Zhenren was drawing Walker away from the other martial artists, he had to deal with the weaker Mutants along the way. At this point, after the fall of the Halo Sword formation, many of the weaker martial artists were killed in simultaneous attacks of more than three mutants.

"Brother Bai… You have to make haste now. We might actually be annihilated when you arrive!" cried Ganyang Zhenren to himself as he saw the damage of his own people.

While Bai Wanli was rushing as fast as he could towards the battle, Jiang Fei and his group had arrived in the Northeast of Japan, where according to 0541, the Xiankong Island sect and the others were.

"0541, please find them!" said Jiang Fei.

"Tracking… Location found," 0541 replied in the next second.

"How are they?"

"Currently, they were still resting. It appears that the Mutants had not yet attacked them," said 0541.

"Huh? What?" Jiang Fei was thrown. It had been a long day yet it seemed that the Xiankong Island sect were fine!

"I have determined the location of the Mutants. It seems that there are 1,500 Mutants hiding around the vicinity of the Xiankong Island sect and the others. I have deduced that they would only strike them during the night," said 0541.

"I see!"

Looks like the leader of that particular group of Mutants was smarter than the norm. Perhaps he foresaw that the martial artists could fight better in the day and would kill more Mutants. That was why he had decided to strike during the night with an ambush attack.

"Are we going over there?" Ariel asked.

"Yes. But there's no need to rush. The Mutants are taking their time and so shall we," said Jiang Fei.

Jiang Fei was fine by himself and so was Ariel and the other "NPC" girls. However, the rest of the martial artists were drenched in sweat after they had run for 5 hours straight. Every one of them was kneeling down trying to catch their breath.

"Alright. Have a rest. If you can, eat some food. The fight will be at nightfall!" said Jiang Fei.

"Huuuu… I'm so tired…"

"I would kill for some ice-cold cola now…"
