Chapter 67: Dara Initiates A Massacre (2/2)
The rest of the men halted in their tracks after seeing about 30 of their comrades' die in the most gruesome way possible, but the arrows kept raining down and they were still 30 meters away from the plateau base, blocked by a 15 meter tall wall of blue and black flames…
The more the flames burned, the greater their fear of being here rose, as the flames looked ghostly and billowed searing heat, making it feel like they were standing at the entrance of the devil's lair…
Experts kept falling, and Min Hong also kept shooting them down…
Now they were all trapped between two rings of fire, one in the front and the other one behind them, but the one towards the entrance was still jumpable, and as a result, the village chief made a quick decision;
”Retreat… Retreat!”
He yelled at his 300 or so men who were still alive, but just as he turned around, he saw the cloaked figure of a kid behind him who had just crossed the wall of flames towards the entrance;
”None of you will be leaving her alive, today…”
Dara growled in rage as he stared at the village head with red eyes; these were the despicable schemers who caused the death of the only kin he had left in his; his elder sister Ji Dai…
”Dara, you're coming with us today!”
Left was the first to speak…
He was sure that if they had Dara in their hands, the others who were attacking them would have to stop, but then Dara simply gazed towards him and with a ridiculing expression, he replied;
”You haggard lousy mouthed fools, come get me if you have the ability…”
Dara cursed and it really hit these old men like a hot slap to their face as the village chief ordered;
”Men, seize him!”
He waved his hands as about 100 men attacked Dara simultaneously, whilst the remaining 180 or so provided cover from them against Aunt Lin and Uncle Min's archery…
These men who were about 30 burly men, and 70 nimble experts bolted towards Dara with the desire to incapacitate him as revenge for their fallen comrades; after all, the village chief only asked them to seize him, he never mentioned if he should be in one piece or not…
But Dara simply shook his head in pity as he stretched both his arms downward and two daggers slid out of his sleeves, straight into his hands as he grabbed them tightly;
”Alright, let's see what 104 meridians can do…”
Dara mumbled to himself, and just as these men reached about five meters from his position, he launched himself towards them;
Boom!
Dara's feet left a 12 inch depression on the ground as the experts saw a blur stab into their ranks, falling four of their comrades instantly…
Dara's eyes danced from side to side, up and down, calculating the speed and strength of his opponents as well as the trajectory of their attacks, as his 20 brain meridians pumped Qi into his brain putting him in a state of peak mental awareness and thinking speed…
Stab! Splurt!
Slash! Sprrrtt!
Dara stabbed one burly man in his abdomen and his guts spilled out as he threw up a mouthful of fresh blood;
He dodged the sword strike of another expert who was so slow in Dara's sight, that he could actually slit the expert's throat before his arm could complete the full arc of his sword strike…
In Dara's eyes, these men were at least twice slower than normal, and he capitalized on it perfectly, as these men began to feel like Dara had known their moves before they could even make it, because none of their strikes even managed to reach within 3 inches of any part of Dara's body before the person attacking would fall to the ground lifelessly;
This wasn't a fight, it was a massacre!
Dara stabbed, slashed and even kicked one expert in the nuts with a leg which was about 8 inches in girth and the expert kept puking for 15 minutes nonstop before fainting…
He just flashed from one expert to the other like a specter or the grim reaper, reaping souls for the god of death…
Even the village chief and his elders could barely catch up with his level of speed and the fluidity with which his attacks were made…
The randomness and irregularity in his slashes, stabs and hits, and in less than 2 minutes, Dara had laid waste to over 35 experts, as he danced between their midst covered in the blood of his arch enemies…
