Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
At Qin Meng’s command, the prepared fire arrows were loaded onto crossbows, aimed at the dark figures ahead, and fired in unison.
Whiz, whiz, whiz!
Countless fire arrows shot out simultaneously like a torrential rainstorm, leaving trails of red fire in the stark darkness of the night sky as they landed densely on the earth, trees, and stone below.
The dry foliage ignited instantly upon contact with the falling fire arrows, and the fire gradually spread, quickly encircling Lu Yun and his companions’ hiding place.
“These guys are really too cunning!”
Feeling the scorching hot air and choking smoke invade them from all sides, Lu Yun couldn’t help but curse the caution and cunning of their opponents in his heart.
At the same time, he had to summon his True Qi to block the fire coming their way.
Even so, he could still feel its intense heat.
Moreover, due to the continual onslaught of fire arrows, they were forced to stay hidden behind the massive boulder.
If they ventured out, they would likely be shot dead by a barrage of arrows!
Thus, they only had one choice – to remain where they were until the rain of arrows ceased.
However, with the surrounding fire blazing, they had to use their True Qi for protection.
As a result, when the rain of arrows finally stopped, their True Qi had already been significantly exhausted, particularly for Captain Wang, who had only about half of his True Qi remaining.
“Young Master Xiao, Young Master Yun, let’s retreat for now and return when we’ve recovered to our Peak State!”
“It’s already too late!” Lu Yun emerged from behind the scorched, pale boulder, hurling a tiger-head broadsaber in his hand. He was enveloped in Pure Yang Aura, his eyes sparkling with an icy glare, resembling dazzling stars in the night sky.
“Charge, kill them all, and you shall be handsomely rewarded!”
“Kill them!”
Roars of attack immediately echoed from all directions. Under the still burning firelight, one could roughly estimate that over 200 attackers, each robust as a bull, were darting between the stone debris and sporadic trees. In the blink of an eye, they had already arrived about 30 feet away from Lu Yun and his companions.
Moreover, the enemies advanced systematically, as if specially trained. The sight of their organized charge was overwhelmingly imposing.
If it were ordinary people, even if they weren’t deterred by the enemy’s numbers, they’d likely be terrified by their momentum.
However, both Lu Yun and Xiao Chen were not average Martial Artists. Although surprised at this formation, they were undaunted!
Especially Xiao Chen, who had just experienced a battle of a hundred men. He quickly regained his composure.
Looking at the assaulters charging from all sides, Xiao Chen sneered, “First an ambush, then a fire attack, and now an encirclement – it seems the White Lotus Sect only has these tactics under its sleeve!”
With these words, he unsheathed his sword and went straight for the men charging from the front.
As the phrase goes, “A sword’s icy glare can illuminate the whole realm, causing all in its path to perish!”
From the moment Xiao Chen moved, the glint of his sword flashed, blood rained down, and wails filled the battlefield. Everywhere lay lifeless bodies, cut down in one swift stroke.
His speed was quick, but the speed of his sword was quicker, so much so, it was almost beyond belief.
But, speed was merely one attribute of his sword techniques.
Rapid, precise, ruthless, flexible, and incredibly deadly.
Every time he unleashed his sword, nearly no one survived the deadly stroke.
“Support, we need support, this man is too powerful!”
Upon seeing the brothers up front falling one after another, the people of the White Cloud Villa began to holler in haste.
Especially when they saw Xiao Chen, like a phantom in the night, reaping group upon group of lives, they became even more flustered and terrified.
Yet the ones seized with panic were not only them. In another direction, Lu Yun charged forward, wielding a tiger-head broadsaber nearly half his height. Killing intent surged, agressive aura crisscrossed, leaving severed limbs and dismembered bodies in his wake.
If Xiao Chen was breaking through the crowd’s encirclement in a line, Lu Yun was doing it across an area.
Swift as the sword, heavy yet resolute like the broadsaber, each had their advantages. Combined with Xiao Chen’s speedy movements and sword techniques, the damage they caused was not inferior to that of Lu Yun’s.
But from the scene, Lu Yun seemed more ferocious, rampaging almost unreservedly.
Only advancing, not retreating; only attacking, not defending!
Lu Yun’s brutal assault, along with the fact that nearly no one lived under his blade, instantly terrified the people of White Cloud Villa, discouraging them from advancing. They began fleeing in the opposite direction.
Most of them, although being martial artists, far stronger than ordinary people, lost the will to fight in face of a strong enemy who cleaved through Meridian Passage Realm martial artists as easily as chopping vegetables.
Those charging at the forefront, most aware of the strength of Xiao Chen and Lu Yun, were the fastest to crumble, starting to retreat.
See this, people coming forward to the fight, also withdrew.
For a moment, hundreds of people were being chased and run down by two young boys. This scene was indeed bizarre.
Suddenly, the towering figure of Qin Meng emerged, blocking the flustered crowd trying to flee. With just one palm strike, he killed the nearest martial artist, his cold gaze sweeping over the crowd, instantly stabilizing the chaotic scene.
Qin Meng looked at the crowd, his eyes revealing a Killing Intent: “Whoever dares to retreat, kill without mercy!”
Upon hearing this, the crowd immediately felt a burst of killing intent that chilled them to the bone, as if they were locked onto by a peerless beast.
A rather powerful martial artist, likely at the Meridian Passage Realm, explained in a low voice: “Villa master, it’s not that the brothers are afraid of death, but the two young boys are too terrifying. Some of the brothers were killed by horrifying sword Qi and broadsaber Qi before they could even reach them!”
“There’s only two of them, no matter how strong, they have their limits. I cannot believe they will never exhaust themselves. Go attack them again for me!”
Towards the end, Qin Meng’s yelled almost hysterically.
After being threatened and tempted, the people of White Cloud Villa, who were already terrified, had no choice but to rally and charge again.
This time, their dismay and fear were gone and had instead turned into madness and bloodlust.
Attacking might mean death, while retreating guaranteed it, and an extremely painful one at that!
Compared to former, they feared the latter more.
So for once, they all regained morale and prepared for the unknown enemies they were up against. Only by playing this out could they hope for a chance of survival.
“Haha, good job coming!”
Watching the people of White Cloud Villa swarm back, Lu Yun’s sanguinary eyes revealed a sliver of chilling light, a killing intent manifested, and the tiger-head broadsaber seething with alternating red and white saber Qi.
Once unleashed, the Seven Kills technique radiates indomitable light, why not slaughter all under heaven!
In an instant, Lu Yun felt an endless surge of fighting spirit welling up in his chest, as he charged forward wrapped up in a powerful turbulent agressive aura.
The great slaughter accomplished by Lu Yun, who had not yet committed many killings, made his surrounding killing intent extremely strong. From a distance, it gave off a chilling intent, enough to make one’s soul shudder!
Under such conditions, even a martial artist of the same realm as him might only be able to exert 70% or 80% of their full strength.
As for these lowly pawns ranging from Enter Martial Realm to Meridian Passage Realm, they were incredibly suppressed. Most of them were so terrified they could barely hold onto their weapons..
