19 Victorious Retrea (1/2)

”Senior Sister!”

With the death of Tang Zemin. The members of the Silent Monastery were left without a leader and panic soon ensued among them. Disciples of the Xia Clan summoned their entire might and decisively cut them down spraying blood and limbs everywhere on the ground as their miserable shrieks disturbed the forest.

Fatty and Lan'er dashed forward and went towards Xia Bingyue and Xia Lingxin. The Fatty inspected Xia Bingyue's body and heaved a sigh of relief when he realized that she merely fainted from overdrafting her Spiritual Energy. Darting his gaze at Xia Lingxin, he saw Lan'er inspecting his body.

Worry flashed through Lan'er's expression. Xia Lingxin suffered from Energy overdraft along with several injuries to his extremities and a collapsed lung. His breathing was shallow but his palms remained tightly clenched around his sword.

Tears streaming down her cheeks, she wiped them away and took a jade bottle filled with medicinal pills. Forcing the pills into his mouth, she made him swallow then applied a medicinal paste on his chest, suppressing his injuries.

Overlooking this situation was a young man clad in the blue robes of the Xia Clan. Blood seeped from his lips and his figure intermittently trembled amidst the darkness. With his Ghost Emperor Scripture at the Initial Stage and his non-existent cultivation. Forcefully stopping those three earlier proved harsher than he expected.

The backlash that occurred made him dizzy, but with a bite at the tip of his tongue, he regained his composure and lifted his head to stare at the distance.

There, at the distance of about several hundred meters, three squads made up of fifteen disciples per squad was fast approaching. Their eyes focused on Jiang Tian's direction and using some kind of an Artifact, no one seemed to notice their imminent arrival.

Jiang Tian glanced at the disciples behind him and made a swift and decisive judgement, ”At this pace, those bastards will arrive here in less than three minutes, they suffered far too much injuries that even If I told them about this now, they won't be able to safely retreat.”

Clicking his tongue, Jiang Tian smiled in excitement, The Ghost's domain was at night and under the veil of darkness, his Ghost Emperor Scripture was at its peak. Even if he couldn't kill those forty or so disciples from the SIlent Monastery, trapping them in an illusion wouldn't be difficult.

Forming a mudra with his hands, Jiang Tian slapped his palms together and forced it outwards.

”Misguidance!”

Ominous energy seeped out of his body and coiled around his palm before exploding towards the direction of the approaching enemies. A mouthful of blood exploded from Jiang Tian's mouth and his body looked as pale as a sheet of paper. Despite all of this, the excited smile on his face, remained along with anticipation that twinkled within his eyes.

Back in his previous world, Jiang Tian was peerless and without peers. However, in this world where he had to start from the beginning. He felt thrilled about experiencing the struggles of cultivation and the future life and death battles that he would have to experience to reach his previous peak.

Tang Wuyin led his group of disciples as reinforcements for Tang Zemin. After receiving a call of distress from Tang Zemin's squad, Tang Wuyin immediately mobilized his squad and marched towards the origin of the distress signal.

”Senior Brother, we're about five hundred meters away from the place where the distress signal originated.” A disciples chimed from behind and Tang Wuyin nodded his head, ”All disciples, prepare for battle!”

Sharp sounds of unsheathed swords and daggers rang out amidst the darkness. The previously relaxed and carefree disciples now looked as knives. They inhibited their aura and slowly approached the vicinity of the Xia Clan disciples with a murderous smile of victory on their faces.

The Fatty who carried Xia Bingyue with him turned towards the distance as his expression flickered, ”Everyone, look! The reinforcements from the Silent Monastery is here!”

”What?!”

”They already arrived?!”

His words caused a clamor among his fellow disciples. They knew that one of their enemies managed to send a distress signal and called for reinforcements but they never expected that they would arrive this soon.

”Lan'er, protect Senior Sister Bingyue. I'll go out and scout for a bit. All of you guys, continue on the retreat!” His previous lascivious demeanor changed into a dignified and decisive general. Leaping towards a nearby tree branch, his body felt as light as feathers as the tree branch miraculously hoisted his body even with his weight.
