Chapter 291 - Reinforcement with Devastating Arrows (2/2)

There was a group of fighters from the Special Task Force tagging along right behind her. All of them were elites, and even the weakest among them were of the National Guardian Level, which made them able to carve a path out of the beasts.

However, they were quickly stopped dead in their tracks. An old Taoist priest dressed in a yellow robe held a sword while manipulating a group of undead to stop the human fighters.

He alone was enough to take on a group.

“Maoshan Taoism!” Ming Yueyao was furious, as she quickly recognized the source of the undead, which were all jiangshi, to be from the Maoshan stream of Taoism known for claiming themselves to be the orthodoxy in Taoism.

None had anticipated the Maoshan Taoists joining in the rebellion as well.

“You Maoshan Taoists are indeed bold. Do you really think no one dares to stand in your way, eh?” Ming Yueyao was very angry, seeing just how bold the Maoshan Taoists had gotten from the fact that they dared to participate in an operation that was tantamount to rebellion.

“The state the world is in today would not allow millions more to train at the same time. The way the government does things is no doubt trying to ruin our foundations, and we simply see fit to fight against that,” the old Taoist priest answered in a cold manner.

The thought of propagation of widespread cultivation among the people to be something that would sever their foundations was the most prevalent mindset among the cultivators. The undertaking would have at least slowed the rate of their cultivation down.

That was why so many forces were joining the fight.

With that Taoist priest joining the fight, Ming Yueyao looked like she ran into a wall. Her progress in the fight was stunted right away. The Taoist priest was far more terrifying than someone as young as Ming Yueyao, after all.

Those people had been persisting back before spirit qi was restored, and the coming era was one where they deemed was their time to shine.

With the exception of the likes of Lu Xuan, any of those old veterans would be able to overwhelm the likes of Ming Yueyao, who were of the younger generation, so long as they were of the same level.

That fact, combined with the use of specifically developed jiangshi, allowed the Taoist priest to hold Ming Yueyao and her men back single-handedly.

The Maoshan Taoist priest even went on to summon lightning with his sword, dealing severe injuries to Ming Yueyao.

That blast hit her squarely, causing her to spew blood as she fell, backing away as she became increasingly surrounded by several jiangshi.

While the undead beings were not of Celestial Realm powers and were at most, at Invincible Vajra level, yet they were nonetheless true Invincible Vajras of steely bones and flesh, who knew no pain and paid no heed to damage sustained.

Even though Ming Yueyao’s attacks were capable of snapping the bones of such beings, she found it difficult to take on so many surrounding her.

“Sh*t!”

Just when she felt that she was no longer able to hold on and about to be overwhelmed, frightening blitzing arrows rained from the sky out of nowhere, which nailed those powerful jiangshi to the ground right then and there.

The jiangshi were nailed down with one arrow each. They, which sported bodies that were capable of resisting incredible amounts of damage, quickly had most of their bodies blasted to pieces, and what remained of them stayed completely still before long.

“Damn it!” The Taoist priest realized the tables were turning almost immediately and intended to flee, yet he was unable to do so before an arrow conjured by Spiritual Qi pierced right through his body almost instantaneously.

Despite being at the Celestial Realm, most of his body was blasted to pieces by that one arrow.

He died before truly realizing what happened.

He was unable to figure out why he was so easily killed, even at his time of death.

He was literally made short work of by a single arrow without any problems.

Ming Yueyao, who was rescued in the nick of time, looked up in the sky and saw a buzzing helicopter. The one who stood from the aircraft was none other than Lu Xuan.

“It’s Mr. Lu. There’s still hope for us!” Ming Yueyao shouted, shocking all the other surrounding fighters from the Special Task Force.

All of them had heard of Lu Xuan’s frightening battle records, and his emergence was no doubt a morale booster like no other to them all.
