Chapter 899 - The Scary One (1/2)
The battle had started for some time now and only a small portion of Scarlet Hunters was killed—mainly by Jiang Fei. On the other hand, over 100 martial artists—between Level 4 and Level 3—were killed.
”Just die!”
Everyone was pressured. Losing their precious disciples was the last thing the elders wanted. With so many deaths, they were now fueled with so much rage that their faces were turning red!
”F*cking Mutants!” Jiang Fei roared. Although Jiang Fei would never admit that he cared for the martial artists, he had already gone out of his way allowing them to do what they wanted. However, there was still a feeling of camaraderie in his subconscious mind. They were still his brothers-in-arms and he felt rage and sadness when so many martial artists, younger and even the same age as him, fell to the Mutants.
”Captain, please do not act irrationally. Preserve as much power as you can. There is still one large army that you would have to face,” 0541 chimed in when it sensed that Jiang Fei's mind was starting to drift away and his brain to reacting with emotion.
”Mhm. Thanks. Keep reminding me if I am going too far,” said Jiang Fei.
The young man was too young, yet he had already been through a lot. As he was still a greenhorn, the boy could not be as calm and controlled as the other elders. Even at the face of armageddon, those elders could still think straight when all hope was lost. Jiang Fei had not reached that level of control yet. The incident of his parents and the Soaring Cloud Sect was a good example.
”HARGH!” Jiang Fei roared as he infused Wind power into his legs and gained explosive speed. At that moment, Jiang Fei was at his fastest he had ever been in his life. Even the strongest Scarlet Hunter, Baron Blood, could only see a blur when they tried to track him down.
SPLAT!
Before anyone could realize who and what was the blur, a Scarlet Hunter that was oblivious to the situation got his head sliced off.
The sharpness of the blade was shown when Jiang Fei delivered the killing blow. His head remained on his neck for a few seconds. The poor soul did not even know that he was cut until his head literally slid off his severed neck like a block of butter on a hot pan. A few seconds later, his body and head reacted to the Zhanlu Sword and exploded.
Before he fell, the Scarlet Hunter tried to alert his other comrades but he could not speak as his nerves were already severed when Jiang Fei sliced off his head clean. The only sound he could make was the sound of his body dropping to the ground and exploding.
”No. 16!” cried another Scarlet Hunter when he realized that his comrade was not responding. Sadly, when he came to No. 16, what he saw did not resemble anything that looked like a human, only a pile of liquefied flesh and disintegrated human parts.
”You--!” the cries of the Scarlet Hunter was halted immediately. Jiang Fei did not give him any openings. He just went ahead and made the kill.
”Urgh!”
He tried to stop but he was too slow. Jiang Fei's blade pierced through his chest and all the way out of his back.
”Attack!”
It was during this time that Ganyang Zhenren and the other elders had begun their all-out attack while the weaker disciples tried to make way for them.
”This is bad,” Baron Blood stuttered his words. He could not believe how the battle had turned out like this. Even though they were making progress in weeding out the weaker ones, his enemies were not falling back! He had even lost several Scarlet Hunters!
At this point, even Baron Blood recognized that he could not fight them. The tables have turned to their side… or rather… it had always been that way.
