44 One Last Lunge! (1/2)
The three of them lunged at Le Chang as spheres of fire and black spheres of Qi Devil headed toward them like meteors.
Dozens of blows were exchanged in seconds, the ground around it was all shattered by shockwaves, people drifted away from where a sixteen-year-old's battle against six Devil Growers was taking place.
Le Chang used the [Dome of a Hundred Waters] in conjunction with the Yin and Yang auras, so his protection had a giant leap, of course not immune to attacks but significantly reduced damage.
Le Chang withdrew a second sword from its ring, also made of silver, with Level 3 Magic Crystal.
He used both swords as a weapon and a shield.
Zhu Han brandished its ax like a bloodthirsty barbarian, his eyes boiling with rage.
A mere boy was causing Six Masters of the 10th Grade of the Dao of Integration to be forced to join and fight him.
If they knew they couldn't take care of a boy where would their dignity stop?
Zhu Han was famous among the Outer Disciples of the Devil Sects, even some Inner Disciples regarded him with respect. His fame was due to his cruelty. They said that whenever he passed a city, the place would never be the same again.
Not only he, but the other men also had great fame.
The group was known as The Six Mad Demons. Their crimes were in the hundreds. They decimated villages and towns, killing men, women, and children. Also famous for their slaves, how many hundreds of young girls had been sold to the brothels by this sadistic and barbaric group? How much despair, fear, sadness, and anger did the Six create?
And now they couldn't handle a mere boy?
This was an affront to their pride.
Le Chang brandished its sword with mastery, with time the scent of blood from the dozens of deaths was pervading the air, Le Chang was not only fighting the Six but also trying to reduce casualties by running around and attacking the weaker Devil Growers.
His mind raced through every possible solution to such a situation.
No one would be able to escape if the situation continued like this.
*****************************
It was complete chaos, on the Devil Cultivators side there were already over a hundred deaths, on the Purple Flame Cult side there were only twenty casualties, but it was a huge loss for the whole Cult.
The number would only increase as time went on.
\”Are you going to do that? The situation is already bad, you are spending a huge amount of Qi to stay on par with the Six…\” - Seiryuu.
\”If it goes on like this we are only delaying our death ...\” - Le Chang.
*******************************
Le Chang stepped back a few feet, opened his mouth and shouted, \”All of you gather and bring the enemies near me, FAST !!!\”
His voice echoed throughout the courtyard, everyone understood what he wanted.
Le Chang would try to hold a small army for them to flee…
Everyone was hesitant. Would they have the courage to do this?
Le Chang noticed and shouted again: \”Do it now !!! If you continue like this we will all die ... NOW !!!\”
Though they hesitated, everyone knew that the way things were going, death would be the end for everyone there.
They quickly grouped and began bringing the fight closer to Le Chang, who again used his strength to keep the Six busy.
The frustration was evident on the faces of the Six Mad Demons, they could not force Le Chang to retreat and one of them had lost his arm.
A few moments later Le Chang began using ranged attacks and was able to make way for the young to escape through one of the gates.
In the meantime he was standing still preventing anyone from chasing the fugitives, he was like an insurmountable mountain. He unleashed his [Aura] to the full and made the 6th, 7th, and 8th Level Devil Growers unable to move freely.
Nearly three hundred young people fired into the Forest, all with several injuries, those in better condition helping others to walk.
The whole face was chaos, Le Chang's death inevitable in the face of such an enemy.
He was not only facing the Six Mad Demons but also nearly five hundred other Devil Growers.
