Chapter 891 - Persistent Chase (1/2)
When Jiang Fei was lamenting about the loss of a good man, Feng Xuanyi leaped to the front, taking more hits than the late Chen Xuanming. Even though they had a weak defense, the Mutants' attack still lived up to their power levels. The wounds that Feng Xuanyi had were too much that his bones could be seen! Worst of all, the deep cut below his abdomen was so large that his guts were almost spilling out!
”Hear me, brothers of the Soaring Cloud Sect! Be proud of who we are and do not let the scum Ye Tianshun ruin the name for yourselves! Live with honor and die with honor!” Feng Xuanyi roared and charged into a large crowd of Mutants.
It all happened so fast. All Jiang Fei saw was Feng Xuanyi having one of his arms cut off by a wind cutter attack and deep wounds inflicted on his thighs and chest. Yet, the man did not stop charging into the crowd of Mutants. In the next second, the man clenched his fist and poked his heart with his thumb. After that, there was a sudden burst of energy and before Jiang Fei had realized it, Feng Xuanyi exploded. His entire body just popped like a balloon, killing himself as well as Mutants that were standing too close to him.
The man forced out his own Qi beyond the limits of his body and released them with a single touch of the Death Gate chakra point. The pent up Qi energy exploded, dealing so much damage compared to what Feng Xuanyi could ever do. Even though the man was only an Advanced stage of Level 4, that suicidal attack was stronger or the same as a Level 4 Pinnacle stage attack.
All that remained of the brave man was his sword on the ground, tainted with the blood of his enemies and of himself.
”Master Feng!” cried the now solemn disciples of the Soaring Cloud Sect. All of them respected the two masters so much that they would follow them to the depths of hell. However, they knew well that that would not be the masters' wish. The two masters wanted nothing but to clear the name of the now tainted sect. To die then would only be smearing the name of Chen Xuanming and Feng Xuanyi! In order to live up to their words, the disciples would have to fight harder, better, and stronger!
”Another one bites the dust…” Jiang Fei sighed. Even though he did bear enmity towards the Soaring Cloud Sect, he could not help but feel charmed and touched by the actions of the two masters. It was a pity that Ye Tianshun had done something so bad to bring the sect's name down to the ground. At the very least, Cheng Xuanming and Feng Xuanyi had done something to elevate the name to an acceptable level.
After the death of Feng Xuanyi, the battle was about to draw its curtain to a close. More than 2,000 Mutants were killed and those that were still alive had decided to run away. While the Mutants were downright defeated, the martial artists were not doing too good themselves. Although the number of casualties was very low, the loss of Chen Xuanming and Feng Xuanyi was a tragic, impacting the morale of the entire martial artist group. All physical wounds and fatigue could be cured instantly with Jiang Fei's miracle pills but the mental scars could not be dealt with.
”I've never felt so alive!” Zhu Tianfei roared as he wiped his sword with a dead man's clothing.
”The feeling is mutual! If only I was in my prime!” Ganyang Zhenren bellowed, nodding his head to agree with Zhu Tianfei.
”Listen, this is not the time to celebrate just yet. The main force is coming and we should hide somewhere else to restore our strength!” said Jiang Fei.
The reason they could win the fight was because of the superior element of surprise. However, if the Scarlet Hunters and Lincoln's army arrived, the battle would not be the same as the previous one. Without proper rest, they would be dragged to the ground!
”Indeed. We have defeated them and taught them a lesson they would never forget. We should take this time to head towards the beach to evacuate!” said Bai Wanli. Even though everyone was greatly motivated, they were still aware of the fact that they were weaker than the main Mutant attack force. Given the choice, everyone would still choose to leave the god-forsaken place.
”Well said, brother. We may have won this fight, but we had also used too much of ourselves. Instead of fighting, we should focus our efforts into leading an exodus back to China!” said Ding Tianqi.
