Chapter 277: None Left
Hearing Luo Yexi's words, everyone present felt their hearts sink. The three women who had just attacked alone gave them an indescribable sense of oppression.
From the moment they made their move, they could at least confirm that the three attackers were at least at the Heaven Tier Extreme. Among all of them present now, there were only three people whose strength could reach the Heaven Tier Peak. If the other two people were also at the Heaven Tier Extreme, then they were likely doomed!
"Join forces to finish off these women first, otherwise we will all die! Kill!"
Facing the aggressive pressure from Esdeath and the others, the people present could not help but temporarily join forces, wanting to eliminate Esdeath and her group first. Three Heaven Tier Extreme experts took the lead and charged toward Esdeath and the other two. The others quickly flanked toward Akame and the other person, wanting to eliminate them first.
"This is more like it!" Esdeath brandished the long sword in her hand, conjuring a flurry of sword shadows, and her fierce attacks instantly enveloped the enemies before her.
Before Esdeath stood a Holy Knight clad in shining armor. The Holy Knight quickly chanted an incantation, and several rays of light instantly rose from his body as a series of blessings were applied to him. In an instant, the aura on the Holy Knight surged significantly, and the great sword in his hand seemed to become lighter; under the Holy Knight's wielding, it continuously parried Esdeath's attacks.
Busujima Saeko was matched against a samurai from the island nation; from his fierce blade style, one could tell that it was only a matter of time before he stepped into the Innate realm. The two's samurai swords clashed continuously, and the splashing blade light forced everyone present to dodge carefully.
Blocking in front of Luo Yexi was a monk. This monk was also the strongest of the three. The monk let out a deep shout, and a golden glow actually emerged on his skin. Luo Yexi's long sword struck his body, yet it remained unscathed.
"The Indestructible Vajra Body?" Luo Yexi raised an eyebrow slightly. "Since you have already taken that step, Master, why must you come to meddle in these matters?"
"In the Jianghu, one cannot always act as one wishes. Female benefactor, please make your move!" The monk pressed his palms together, bowed to Luo Yexi, and then transformed into a wrathful Vajra, golden light flickering on his fists as he struck toward Luo Yexi.
"What a fine 'in the Jianghu, one cannot always act as one wishes.' Master, receive my move!" Luo Yexi smiled faintly, tossed aside her long sword, condensed the Nine Yang Power on her palms, and met the monk's fists.
The six experts fought in pairs; for a time, the battlefield was filled with blade light and sword shadows, and those present subconsciously stayed far away from the battlefield of the six to avoid being accidentally injured.
"Die for me!" A Ninja quickly approached Akame and flicked his hand, scattering countless star-like glints toward her. Looking closely, those star-like glints were all tiny throwing darts, and the darts shimmered with a dark, gloomy light, clearly coated with deadly poison.
Akame lightly rested her right hand on the hilt of her samurai sword, her figure flashed slightly, and a large web woven from blade light instantly appeared before her. The throwing darts cast by the Ninja were shredded into pieces in an instant.
Seeing this scene, the Ninja could not help but feel a surge of horror in his heart; such skill was likely something an ordinary Heaven Tier could not achieve! Just as he was horrified in his heart, Akame had already flashed and appeared before him.
"Funeral!" Following Akame's soft shout, a spurt of blood erupted from the Ninja's throat, and he slowly collapsed to the ground.
Seeing that Akame had made her move, Kurome also joined the battlefield. Although both of them had suppressed their strength to the Heaven Tier Extreme, dealing with these guys whose strength was at most at the Heaven Tier Mid-stage was a simple matter of reaching out and grabbing them.
"Hey hey hey, Old Qi, did I see that right? These five young women are actually all at the Heaven Tier Extreme?! Since when is the Heaven Tier Extreme so worthless?" Huang Lao's mouth was open wide enough to swallow an egg, and he asked the Qi Lao beside him with an expression of disbelief.
"I don't know either, but one thing is certain now: whether it is us or these guys, we have all severely underestimated the strength of this unknown force. I estimate that these guys are finished here today!" Nangong said with a grave expression.
Just as Luo Yexi and the others were surrounding and suppressing these enemies who had come to attack the Villa, a group of uninvited guests was rushing toward the direction of the Su Family Mansion.
"Great Elder, is it going too far for the clan to have us annihilate the Su Family this time? The Su Family is, after all, a famous great family in Beijing, and they are descendants of the founding heroes. If something happens, and the Dragon Group holds us accountable, this matter will be difficult to handle!" one of the middle-aged men said.
"It is merely a Su Family, so how can they compare to our Ji Family, which has been passed down for thousands of years? When our Ji Family entered Beijing back then, we struggled in Beijing for a long time before we gained a foothold." The Great Elder let out a cold shout. "Moreover, the Young Clan Master will inherit the main family in the future; by then, even the Dragon Group will have to be polite in front of us. Annihilating a Su Family, what kind of big deal is that!"
"The Su Family is also a family that has been passed down for hundreds of years; perhaps they have some trump cards. We should still be careful!" another person said.
"Even if they have some trump cards, in front of our Ji Family, they only have the outcome of drinking hatred. Moreover, I have already investigated well; the Su Family has at most three Innate experts. We have dispatched a full six Innate experts this time; annihilating the Su Family is but a matter of a flick of a finger!" The Great Elder waved his hand dismissively.
"If you people were allowed to take charge of the Ji Family, that would absolutely be the greatest tragedy for this thousand-year-old family!" A leisurely voice came with the wind. "Daring to make a move against the Su Family, this branch of your Ji Family has also reached its end!"
"Who is it?" The Great Elder of the Ji Family was startled and could not help but stop his steps.
Just at this moment, countless Array Patterns emerged on the ground, and in an instant, they outlined a huge light array. As a blue glow flickered, the Array was activated, and the area where the Ji Family members were located had already become a place isolated from the world.
"This is, an Array?" The Great Elder's heart skipped a beat. "Why would someone set up an Array here?"
"Who are you? Stop playing god and acting like a ghost there!" A Shadow Guard of the Ji Family shouted coldly toward the front.
Everyone looked up and saw that, at some point, a person had appeared in front of them, standing with their back to them and hands behind their back.
"Who are you, Your Excellency? Why are you blocking us here?" The Great Elder took a step forward and said coldly.
"Who I am, you don't need to know. You only need to know one thing: this time next year will be the anniversary of your death, and this place will be your burial ground!" Lingyun slowly turned around and said.
"Just a wet-behind-the-ears brat, what a boast!" A Shadow Guard suddenly rushed out, his hands wrapped in powerful Inner Strength, and struck straight toward Lingyun.
Behind Lingyun, a girl quietly turned out, raised the pistol in her hand, and pulled the trigger at him.
Regarding the bullet coming toward him, the Shadow Guard did not take it to heart at all. After all, his current strength had reached the Heaven Tier Peak; resisting bullets with his physical body was not something he couldn't do. Moreover, the pistol in the girl's hand did not look like it had much lethality, and the sound of the bullet leaving the chamber was nothing special; it was clearly not a bullet specially developed by the Dragon Group to deal with experts like him.
Seeing that the Shadow Guard did not take her attack to heart at all, Lingqi's mouth curled into a cold sneer.
With a soft 'puff', a flower of blood erupted from the Shadow Guard's forehead; his forward momentum stalled, and then he fell to the ground under the force of inertia. In his eyes, there was still deep disbelief; clearly, he did not understand why he had died under a bullet just like that.
"What is going on?" A trace of doubt also flashed in the Great Elder's mind.
"I said, today here will be your burial ground!" Lingyun's voice came leisurely.
"Attack together, kill this arrogant brat!" The leader of the Shadow Guard could not help but be enraged and roared.
Looking at the Ji Family members rushing up, Lingyun's mouth curled into a cold sneer, and he strode forward to meet them. Lingqi, on the other hand, chuckled softly, and her body slowly sank into the shadows.
