Chapter 293: A One-Sided Battle
"Don't you forget, we two old men are still here!" Seeing the Innate Experts from Medicine King Valley heading toward Esdeath, Xuan Feng and Xuan Lei were not pleased.
Having worked together at the Lingxu Sect for so many years, the two naturally coordinated seamlessly. They struck simultaneously, intercepting two of the Innate Experts from Medicine King Valley.
Luo Yexi flipped her palms, and a powerful Nine Yang Power instantly enveloped the Innate Expert before her. That Innate Expert immediately felt as if he had fallen into a vast sea of fire, unable to extricate himself for a moment.
With three Innate Experts blocked, the final two Innate Experts finally rushed to Esdeath's side. Facing the two Innate Experts, Esdeath did not retreat but advanced instead, the long sword in her hand transforming into clusters of sword flowers that enveloped the pair.
Seeing this scene, the two Innate Experts could not help but have their expressions change slightly. In their impression, although Espers possessed powerful strength, most Espers focused their energy on developing their abilities, so their physiques were naturally much worse than those of Martial Artists. But looking at this woman now, it was as if she intended to clash head-on with them; could it be that the opponent also possessed extraordinary attainments in swordsmanship?
The two Innate Experts besieging Esdeath had somewhat similar faces, presumably brothers. The weapons in their hands were a pair of long swords; the two of them with four swords coordinated seamlessly, forming a layered sword net that enveloped the direction of Esdeath.
Facing the incoming sword net, Esdeath's expression remained unchanged, and the long sword in her hand swung, wisps of white light lingering upon it. Esdeath slashed out, and countless frost followed this sword toward the sword net. Wherever the frost passed, the dense sword light actually showed signs of freezing, and subsequently shattered completely.
Looking at the two Medicine King Valley Elders whose expressions had become extremely ugly, Esdeath merely sneered, and the long sword in her hand swung once more, countless ice swords surging toward the pair.
"Lingyun, are Ye Xi and Esdeath going to be alright? After all, they are Elders of Medicine King Valley; they might be carrying auxiliary Pills on them." In the RV, Chen Jing asked with some worry. "Although Esdeath killed an Innate Expert from the Ji Family at the Villa last time, those Innate Experts simply cannot compare to them!"
"Don't worry, their strength is not as simple as what you saw before." Lingyun smiled faintly, "Now there are still those Bintie Crossbow troops left, do you want to go up and try your hand?"
Chen Jing's gaze swept over the remaining Bintie Crossbow troops, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. The strongest among these Bintie Crossbow troops were already approaching Mid-stage Heaven Tier, but most were still at Earth Tier. Being able to gather so many powerhouses above Earth Tier, Chen Jing could not help but sigh inwardly at the power of the Hidden Sect.
"Lingyun, cover me, I'm going to test their strength!" Chen Jing gripped the long sword in her hand and charged toward the Bintie Crossbow troops.
"Hey, Lingyun, there are powerhouses above Heaven Tier there, and Sister Jing is only at Earth Tier Late Stage now. Are you trying to send her to her death!" Although Liu Xuan was shocked that Chen Jing's strength had climbed to Earth Tier in such a short time, she felt extremely angry that Lingyun dared to let Chen Jing go and test her skills against the other side.
"Saeko, go and look after Chen Jing!" Lingyun said to Busujima Saeko beside him.
Busujima Saeko nodded slightly, grabbing into the Void with one hand, and wisps of blood-red mist slowly condensed in her hand, subsequently transforming into sharp cones.
"Go!" Busujima Saeko gave a light shout, and the Shura Thorn in her hand instantly turned into a stream of light, darting out from the car window.
The Bintie Crossbow troops saw that Chen Jing, who was only at Earth Tier Late Stage, dared to charge at them, and were all filled with rage. The strongest among them stepped forward directly, powerful strength condensed in his palm, his figure turning into a Phantom as he rushed toward Chen Jing, wanting to kill her with a single blow under his palm.
There was no fear in Chen Jing's eyes, because she knew that since Lingyun said such things, he would absolutely not let her be in danger. Just as that Heaven Tier expert approached her, a blood-red light arrived first despite starting later, easily piercing through the Heaven Tier expert's chest and carrying him flying backward. At the same time, several more blood-red lights fell into the Bintie Crossbow troops, killing everyone who could pose a huge life threat to Chen Jing.
"Kill!" Chen Jing gave a cold shout and slaughtered the remaining people.
"Saeko, you watch here, I'm going to meet an old fellow!" Lingyun's gaze swept over Chen Jing, and he said to Busujima Saeko.
Although Chen Jing's current strength was only Earth Tier Late Stage, as someone trained by Lingyun, her strength was already capable of fighting a Heaven Tier expert. Now that the strongest few Heaven Tier experts had fallen at Saeko's hands, as long as Saeko paid a little attention, Chen Jing would not be in danger.
Seeing Busujima Saeko nod, Lingyun's figure instantly disappeared from the car.
In a place not far from here, a withered-looking old man was watching the battle below, his eyes flickering with light, and in his hand, a powerful force was constantly condensing.
"I advise you, it is better not to make a move!" Just as the old man was silently gathering strength, a leisurely voice sounded in his ear.
"Who is it?" The old man's pupils shrank, his figure instantly flashing back dozens of feet like a ghost, and then he looked toward the direction the voice came from.
Lingyun stood on a large rock, looking at the old man.
Cold sweat could not help but seep from the old man's forehead; with his current cultivation, he had actually been approached by someone without him noticing. If Lingyun had tried to kill him just now, he would likely be dead or severely injured by now.
"How should I address you, Excellency?" The old man adjusted his breath slightly and cupped his hands toward Lingyun. "And why appear here?"
"The person you want to intercept and kill." Lingyun said faintly.
The old man's expression changed drastically, and then he violently threw two Copper Pellets at Lingyun, subsequently fleeing in the opposite direction without looking back.
When the two Copper Pellets flew toward Lingyun, they suddenly exploded, and countless fine needles shot out from the pellets, piercing toward Lingyun's direction. These fine needles all possessed the ability to pierce through a Protective Qi Shield.
If it were an ordinary person encountering this kind of hidden weapon, they would likely be in a flurry. But Lingyun merely beckoned with one hand, and an invisible whirlwind appeared before him; the flying fine needles instantly seemed to be attracted by something, flying into the whirlwind one after another.
"Go!" Lingyun waved his hand, the whirlwind instantly shattered, and the fine needles shot out from the Copper Pellets actually reversed direction at this moment, flying toward the old man's direction.
The old man had never expected such a thing to happen, and without any precautions, he was actually beaten into a sieve by his own hidden weapon in an instant.
Looking at the old man lying on the ground, Lingyun shook his head slightly, and then disappeared, turning into a Phantom.
After Lingyun left, the blood that the old man lying on the ground had shed onto the ground actually flowed slowly back into his body. His fingers moved slightly, and then he slowly climbed up from the ground.
"To think there is such a young powerhouse in this mundane world. This person must have a great opportunity on him; perhaps this is the opportunity from the last words left behind when the ancestor fell. No, I must hurry back and report this matter to the Sect Leader!" Although the old man's face was pale, he still insisted on getting up and walked toward the direction of the dense forest.
