Otherworld Advance Team-Chapter 1743 - 1736: Aid from All Directions

Feng, taking advantage of the enemy’s chaos, launched a pursuit, slashing two more people before retreating and rejoining with Xing Hu.

In the first phase, these dozens of cultivators gained no advantage; instead, they lost three people, suffering a significant blow to their morale.

"There are dozens of us, yet we can’t even handle the two of them." The leader looked at the disheartened crowd, revealing a look of disappointment.

But after a pause, he sighed and said, "Alas, after all, they are disciples of the Hongying Sect... that masked brat is no ordinary person."

"She is under the protection of the White Tiger of the Saint. Many have suffered at her hands," someone beside him explained.

In fact, the battle turning out this way was entirely predictable. It had been mentioned before that the cultivation system of Kyushu on the East Continent prioritizes quality over quantity.

In the same faction, a cultivator at the early stage of the Golden Core Realm can suppress dozens of cultivators at the late stage of the Jiedan Realm; it defies reason.

Precisely because of this, when they heard of Xing Hu’s master’s famous name, they displayed such a look of terror.

Xing Hu’s master, Bai Xingzi, is dual-cultivated in the Ba Path and is the most powerful cultivator in the Hongying Sect, almost just one step away from entering the Nascent Soul Realm, hence the term old monster.

If they were to kill his disciple, should Bai Xingzi find out, none of them would ever have a peaceful day in their lives.

Judging from the battle, Xing Hu must have at least a mid-stage Jiedan Realm cultivation, and his Dantian’s magic reserve far exceeds Feng’s, thus enabling him to sustain high-intensity magic output.

Quality crushing quantity, so unless they can find a cultivator at mid-stage Jiedan Realm among them, they cannot pose a threat to Xing Hu.

"Xing Hu," the leader couldn’t help but angrily shout, "Do you really want to protect the Saint?"

"The Saint is righteous; how can scoundrels like you harm him?" Xing Hu said, raising his blade righteously.

"Humph, he went to the capital to side with the Wen Family; you should be very clear about how the Wen Family treats us," the man sneered.

"Where the Saint wishes to go is his freedom, not for us to comment on," Xing Hu remained unmoved, "You masquerade as righteous while doing despicable deeds; is this the conduct of the Wu Family?"

"Despicable, we merely wish to invite the Saint to our house as a guest, where is the despicable name?" the man said.

"Since it’s an invitation and refused, you shouldn’t forcibly detain. So I am curious, where does your so-called invitation’s sincerity come from?"

It’s not apparent, but Xing Hu doesn’t only have high cultivation, his words also come in sets, seemingly well-educated in culture.

"The Saint is deceived, we are merely helping the Saint," the man replied.

"Such a word, helping," Xing Hu elevated his voice, "If it is helping, then why set up a Dragon Trapping Array?"

"This..." The man was speechless for a moment.

"So, in the end, you’re also worried about the Saint’s outbreak, wishing to kidnap under the guise of invitation, ridiculous!" Xing Hu cursed angrily.

"I don’t want to waste words with you," the man pointed at Xing Hu, "I respect that you’re a disciple of Bai Xingzi and won’t make things difficult for you. But if you remain obstinate, don’t blame me for not considering your master’s name."

"Master once said, if meeting a wise one, maintain the righteous path. Although I am inexperienced, I also know the difference between right and wrong, so don’t try to coax me with your lies. I am an ordinary person but won’t be so easily deceived." Xing Hu stated firmly.

Hearing his words, the man sighed deeply. He knew he couldn’t win against Xing Hu in an argument. To take away the Saint, Xing Hu had become an unavoidable obstacle.

"What should we do?" someone beside him asked worriedly. freёnovelkiss.com

"Disperse, act separately; we will hold these two back, and you will then seize the Saint from the inn. Once we have the Saint, retreat immediately, kill the others without exception," the man coldly instructed.

"Be careful, they’re planning to split up!" Feng was the first to notice the sign, quickly shouting a warning.

"He dares!"

Xing Hu shouted and stepped forward, swinging the Kedal metal blade in his hand, a flame sweeping toward the cultivators.

However, he quickly encountered an opponent, as the leading figure withstood Xing Hu’s Qi Force attack, swinging his palm toward Xing Hu.

To counter the indestructible Kedal metal blade, bare hands are the best choice. This might sound counterintuitive, but the Kedal metal blade cannot deal with magical units, so it’s useless despite being sharper.

Xing Hu soon became entangled with the man, who intentionally closed the distance to Xing Hu. This time, Xing Hu seemed overly immersed in the battle, unaware of the need to retreat and create space, instead actively engaging.

On the other side, Feng also encountered a formidable enemy, an overbearing Banshan cultivator whose level was estimated to be at the mid-stage Jiedan Realm. Without the support of Source river technology weapons, it was enough to give Feng a tough battle.

The enemies bypassed the two, charging toward the inn, and the inn was on the brink of falling when suddenly, a shrill cry echoed from the sky. A flock of black birds appeared out of nowhere and swooped down on the cultivators around the inn.

"What are those things?" A cultivator instinctively paused, watching the birds fly towards him.

The birds reached within a meter of him before suddenly exploding, emitting a violent blast, with flesh and bone fragments scattering into a blood mist in the air.

As the blood mist cleared, that cultivator was already on the ground, clutching his face and screaming in pain. His body was covered in blood stains, his face pierced with glistening, bloodstained shards, which were fragments of the bird’s Magic Core.

Witnessing this, the man battling Xing Hu took a step back, gasping, "It’s actually a Spirit Control Master, as expected..."

The birds exploded near the cultivators, causing a momentarily gruesome scene. But such attacks only temporarily halted the enemy’s advance, not enough to repel them.

A nimble small animal swiftly darted among the corpses, rushing beneath the feet of a cultivator, biting their ankle and fleeing before they could react.

The bitten cultivator was about to chase when he suddenly felt his lower body paralyze. He raised his hand to find his arm’s blood vessels turning dark, blood constantly leaking from his mouth and nose, and before he could make a sound, he collapsed onto the ground.

Elsewhere, a petite figure maneuvered gracefully among the people, seeking an avenue for attack. But surprisingly, though it was broad daylight, no one noticed her.

She dashed behind a cultivator, who was entirely unaware of her presence. She raised her hand, shaped like a palm, and struck the cultivator’s spine gate acupoint, instantly severing his body network with a single blow.

The cultivator let out a scream, the sound abruptly stopping, as the assailant’s dagger had already struck, stabbing horizontally into the cultivator’s spine, the dagger deeply embedded into the back, and the cultivator perished instantly.

Just as Hun Jiansi said, if she wished, even cultivators wouldn’t be her opponents. Only those with Nascent Soul Realm cultivation could break through the Fog Concealment Skill.

The Fog Concealment Skill, Flow Redirect combined with a dagger, are the three-piece move of the Hidden Fog Assassin. In its heyday, countless cultivators perished under this combination strike.

Cheng Ziang received much goodwill from Hun Jiansi, so much so that he had no idea just how dangerous and unpredictable a Hidden Fog Assassin truly was.

These series of attacks were counterattacks initiated by the Emperor’s Sect’s Heterogeneous Hall. Their mission was to protect the Saint at all costs, so when the Saint was threatened, they would not hesitate to intervene directly.

Meanwhile, inside the inn, the Advance Team was not just waiting to be captured. Since the Yuanzi weapons couldn’t be used, they resorted to their old comrades.

The Advance Team still had an automatic rifle and a bolt-action sniper rifle, and though ammunition was limited, they had no choice but to use them now.

Baiyue climbed to the highest room of the inn, slightly opening the window and sticking out the gun barrel, aiming at a cultivator who stumbled after being blasted by Magic Core fragments.

With a dull gunshot, the cultivator fell straight to the ground, his back of the head shattering, red and white splattered the ground.
