Chapter 1208: Chapter 101 Absolute Defense_3
Xuan Yue glanced at him and said, "My elder brother and I are tired. We’ll rest in the carriage tonight. Find your place to sleep. It was just some skeletons without self-awareness trying to provoke us, but we’ve already dealt with them. You had better find a place for them to rest properly, otherwise if there are any lasting consequences, it will not be our fault." After saying that, she pulled Ah Dai onto the carriage.
Mulat bitterly smiled in his heart. The situation had become troublesome now; it seemed the four skeletons were severely injured! The Evil Sky Mercenary Group truly lived up to its reputation as a Special Class Mercenary Group, having easily defeated the four chiefs of the Skeleton Mercenary Group with just two people. It seemed that he would need to curry favor with them in the future. Hiring them not only cost less but perhaps also provided more security. With their capability to destroy a forest, even if the army came to rob the caravan, there probably wouldn’t be anything to worry about. While he was thinking, Zong Yue and others had already carried the four skeletons back. The helmet was placed back on Ice Skeleton’s head, covering her delicate face. Seeing the four in such a sorry state, all the members of the Skeleton Mercenary Group fell silent; even without thinking too hard, they could understand what had happened. These captains, who were like gods in their hearts, had just been defeated by two youngsters. Some of the hot-tempered mercenaries wanted to take revenge on Ah Dai and Xuan Yue, but they were stopped by a few of Zong Yue’s deputies. These deputies, after witnessing how Xuan Yue used Light Magic to save the captains’ lives, held nothing but admiration and gratitude towards the two.
As they entered the carriage, Ah Dai quickly grabbed Xuan Yue’s hand, checking the conditions inside her body with True Qi. Just as Xuan Yue had said, her injuries were minor, and he was relieved.
Xuan Yue couldn’t wait to ask, "Elder brother, what was that move you used just now? Was it martial arts or magic? How did it even summon thunder to strike? When the four skeletons were using that Heaven and Earth Array, I was worried that we couldn’t handle it. But then you summoned thunder, and it blew them away, ha ha, thinking about their hair standing on end makes me so happy."
Ah Dai bitterly smiled, "Brother, we were still too careless. These four skeletons were not easy to deal with. If we were to speak solely of ability, they weren’t a match for us at all initially. But that Four Elements Formation they finally used was indeed powerful, executing one hundred and twenty percent of their strength. If it hadn’t been for the thunderstorm, I would have had to use the Sword of Hades to be confident of victory. Even so, we were unharmed only because of the Divine Artifact. We still need to be more cautious in the future. I have not mastered the thunderstorm thoroughly, and it could easily backfire on me. We were lucky to have the Ring of Guardian’s Absolute Defense, or else we would have been affected too. This move is one of the three ultimate skills passed down by my master. If my Life-Life Qi could reach its highest realm, perhaps it would truly possess earth-shattering power."
Xuan Yue giggled, her heart warmed by all the care Ah Dai had shown her. She yawned, "Elder brother, I’m tired. Let’s sleep." Saying that, she lay down on the soft cushions to the left and rested.
The following morning, the four skeletons awoke one after another. Blood Skull and Wind Skeleton had lost their ability to fight. Iron Skull and Ice Skull were also greatly weakened. The four skeletons looked at each other in their sorry states inside the tent arranged by Mulat, their faces wore grave expressions. Although they didn’t know what had happened after the explosion, they clearly understood that they had been defeated, and it was a terrible defeat. Not even their strongest Four Elements Formation could harm Ah Dai.
Iron Skull snorted and broke the silence, "Big brother, second brother, younger sister, what’s happened to us? Since we’ve formed the Skeleton Mercenary Group, we’ve never been so down. We lost, but under the effect of Heaven and Earth Array, those two kids might not necessarily be in good condition either, maybe their injuries are even more severe? Anyway, I’m fine now, aside from feeling a bit weak, I haven’t suffered much."
Blood Skull sighed, "You think you feel fine because someone treated us. During the explosion, I clearly felt the energy impact damaging my body, my internal organs were severely shaken. But when I woke up today, my injuries were much lighter than I expected. There can only be one explanation: a master treated us."
Suddenly, the tent flap was lifted, and Zong Yue walked in from outside. Seeing the four captains awake, he was overjoyed, "How are you guys? You’re alright now, right?"
Blood Skull seriously asked, "Zong Yue, what exactly happened yesterday after we were knocked out?"
Zong Yue looked at the four, sighed, and detailed how Xuan Yue had saved them. As the four skeletons listened, their expressions grew increasingly solemn. When Zong Yue finished, they felt utterly dejected. Iron Skull unwillingly asked, "Old Zong, are you sure you’re not mistaken? They didn’t even have a scratch?"
Zong Yue nodded, "I’m telling the exact truth. The two leaders of the Evil Sky Mercenary Group weren’t injured at all, not even their clothes."
Blood Skull said gloomily, "It seems, the legacy of our master will continue in us. The disciple of the Sword Saint of the Tian Gang is truly too powerful; even Heaven and Earth Array couldn’t harm him. His strength must have reached the realm of Sword Saint. We owe them a favor now. Old Zong, pass my order, starting today, no one from the Skeleton Mercenary Group should bother them anymore."
