Chapter 551 Rescue Begins.
Yun Xue was not holding back her hostile intentions to deal with Shi Lang. She was gazing at him with dead cold eyes. If Shi Lang were to stick around, she would kill him. The terran knew he was not on his best behavior with the lady and said, "I apologize for that day. I did not expect my behavior would cause you much harm."
The lady did not budge and held her sword against him. Suddenly, they both heard Bo Qingtan speaking, "If you have finished throwing tantrums and bowing in apology, can we check the battlefield? I mean, we have something much more important at stake here."
Yun Xue did not budge, and Shi Lang sighed. He said, "I did not reciprocate you and ran away because I already have a wife. She will come here soon. I do not wish her to feel bad."
Surprised, Yun Xue asked, "You have a wife in the lower realms?"
To ensure that she works well with Shi Lang, the grand elder of Snow Maiden Peak revealed the identity of the terran to her. However, she did not know that Shi Lang had a wife, so this detail was not brought to Yun Xue's attention.
The young lady was trying to wrap her brain around the fact when Shi Lang said, "I understand that you wish to look for the demonic cultivators and save the people inside the array. However, we only have one chance to fight with these demonic cultivators and come out of it alive. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Yun Xue sighed and nodded, and she said, "You probably do not understand, but I was five when demonic cultivators raided our village. They killed the men and put the women to serve them. I watched them ravage my mother before she was killed. For two months, I watched, and then my master saved us. Three children were found alive. We were taken in the sect, but my two fellow survivors did not make it as they were not talented. I wish to kill all the demons that are harming humans. Every last one of them."
Shi Lang nodded and said, "I agree, but we should know that killing the enemy does not outrank the fact that we need to stay alive first."
Bo Qingtan watched the two people from the side, his hands crossed before his chest. He said, "Are you both done?"
Shi Lang sighed and began projecting the images from the probes onto the tree trunks. Four people were fighting four people, and although it sounded fair, it was not. The demonic cultivators were stronger, and they were overwhelming Xu and Jang. The disciples they left behind to provide cover were also under tremendous pressure.
Shi Lang and the two exchanged glances, and the terran said, "We are going in. They will not last long. The backup team is also taking too long to attack them. Do not use the real names in there, understood?"
The two of them nodded, and then Shi Lang rushed inside. He said, "I will block, and you will counter, agreed?"
The two replied, "Agreed."
Shi Lang and the two did not enter the formation range of effect directly because this formation suppressed the spiritual energy inside. This was also the reason why the people inside were suppressed. Shi Lang and the two circled the edge for a few minutes before the terran said, "Here, this node is the eye."
Bo Qingtan took his sword and said, "Thousand Pine Spikes."
Wooden spikes shot from the ground, all aimed into the void. Due to the effect of the formation when the spikes flew forward, they distorted the space. Suddenly, one of the spikes hit the node, and the void shimmered.
Shi Lang and the two caught the battle sounds, and the terran said, "Go."
The three of them moved in quickly. Yun Xue said, "I suggest we deal with the backup team first. They will add to our strengths when attacking those four."
Shi Lang shook his head and replied, "Those four do not have much time. If the array were cast with a combined effort, the destruction would cause them to share the backlash. It will not be very strong and can enrage them even more. If the demonic cultivators decided to attack strongly, the four people would die."
Bo Qingtan said, "If only we could split the forces."
Shi Lang could feel their gazes on his back and said, "You do remember that my clone was cleaned up by them, right? It affects my condition to produce clones."
The two people sighed as they rushed through the woods.
...
Xu and Jang were defending themselves against the two people with great difficulty. They could not put their finger on it but were losing spiritual energy much faster than before. The enemy Xu faced was the half-naked woman. She used a barbed whip and relentlessly swung it at Xu.
Jang was facing the half-naked man who used flying knives. Jang was a youngster, his combat experience was not high, but his skills were refined, and he could defend himself rather firmly. The main concern was the two in the back. They were experts in their zones, but when faced with the demonic cultivators.
They were masters of long-distance fighting. Now they were wielding swords and fighting at a closer distance, and they were slightly injured. The demonic cultivators considered these people to be lambs on the chopping board. They were playing with them.
Suddenly, the half-naked girl said, "Young man would you like to practice dual cultivation with me? Your strength will skyrocket and you will not suffer for this incompetent group of insects."
Xu scoffed and replied, "Have you ever looked at yourself in the mirror, ugly bitch."
The demonic cultivator was not ugly. She was far more sensual than any other female. However, her deeds were ugly. Her beauty must have been acquired by sacrificing so many innocent souls. How can Xu, a cultivator from the righteous path like her?
The woman became angry and her attacks became trickier. One of the whips landed on Xu's hand and left a big gash. Xu winced and stepped back. The lady said, "Do you think why you are so weak? You pig, standing in the center of the Spirit Suppressing array; of course, you are weak. You all walked inside a trap.
You little waste of flesh and bones, you called me ugly? I will show you what is ugly when I locate your family and turn your mother into a slave for my senior brothers and train her mouth to be my piss pot."
Xu's eyes turned red. He could not tolerate this woman uttering profanities about his mother. He was going berserk when suddenly, the void trembled, and the woman before him puked out a mouthful of blood.
He was stunned; it was not only the woman, but the other three also drank blood. Xu woke up from his daze and said, "Attack."
However, the demonic cultivators did not suffer significant injury. They were at the peak of the immortal general level, and the backlash was shared. It was because this backlash was sudden that they coughed up blood. Otherwise, they would have been fine.
When they were enraged, the man attacking Jang said, "Someone is here."
He ignored Jang and turned around to attack with his sword. He let out a black slash wave at Shi Lang and the two. But, he did not expect the other party to counter.
...
Shi Lang was quick and intercepted the Demonic energy slash coming at them. He did not stop charging forward and slashed out with his spirit sword. The attack contained a hint of lightning and the demonic energy was purified instantly.
The man facing Jang was surprised and in this one moment of daze. Jang reacted quickly and slashed across the neck of the man. The cut was swift and precise. The head of the demonic cultivator was severed.
The Demonic cultivator team was shocked. They did not expect someone from their side to die suddenly. The whip-lady was enraged, and charged at Shi Lang and others, yelling, "You fucking insects!"
Yun Xue glared at the woman and said lightly, "This bitch is mine."
Bo Qingtan smiled and said, "Gladly."
They saw the attack coming at them was easily dissolved by Shi Lang and their confidence rose—the lady attacked with a whip. However, Shi Lang channeled lightning spiritual energy around his body, covering himself with lightning sparks. The whip came at his waist. However, Shi Lang caught it with ease and yanked it towards himself.
He was a body refiner. His strength was not lacking. The force made the lady fly over, and Yun Xue said, "Dancing Snow Flakes."
In the void, snow flakes condensed out of nowhere and they fluttered gently in the void. Yun Xue slashed with her sword and the snow flakes rushed through and around the whip lady. The demonic cultivator did not have the chance to yell before her body was turned into minced meat.
