Chapter 1208: VS The Great Banishment Art
“There’s someone ahead!”
Hearing the scout’s report, Xiao Taohong and Xian Er both frowned, showing signs of surprise.
“What’s Kuilang doing? He was supposed to clear the path ahead—can’t even handle such a simple task?”
“Stop worrying about that. How many are there?”
“Two!”
“Two?”
Xiao Taohong and Xian Er widened their eyes in anger, but considering the temper of their comrades around them, they had to suppress their fury. “Don’t tell me you can’t even handle two people?”
The messenger gave a bitter expression.
“We’d like to, but that old guy is like a ghost—none of us can keep up with him. A few of our brothers tried to chase after him but were quickly left behind.”
Xiao Taohong was shocked! She exchanged a worried glance with Xian Er.
The Wild Wolf Organization consisted of international mercenaries, and every member understood the importance of lightness in movement and speed. Thus, all members practiced the highest-level secret techniques for moving swiftly, making them among the best in the martial world.
But now, the scouts said the enemy could easily outpace them—this clearly meant…
A level of movement skill akin to that of a Heavenly Dao expert!
“Could it be a Heavenly Dao expert who’s been spying on us since the Desert Palace?” The two women grew anxious.
Against an ordinary Heavenly Dao expert, they wouldn’t worry too much—after all, even the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance had been defeated by them, and they had also killed Dongfang Bubai. They were confident in their “Great Banishment Art.”
But so far, less than a third of their 100 men had been lost, barely enough to reach Yan Town. Sending out two more groups now would weaken their protection of the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon, making them vulnerable to an attack by a Heavenly Dao expert!
“It doesn’t seem like a Heavenly Dao expert… just an old man with excellent movement skills…” The scout’s reply eased their concerns slightly.
Xiao Taohong said without hesitation, “It’s better if it’s not a Heavenly Dao expert. Send a few people to guard the surroundings and prevent this person from approaching. Keep moving forward—avoid any complications before we reunite with Kuilang! Once we’re with Kuilang and the others, it won’t be hard to deal with that Heavenly Dao expert.”
“Understood!”
…
Far away, in a dark room,
Prophet Kaisen, sitting at the table, paused slightly, frowning as he stared intently at the scene inside the crystal ball. He sighed softly.
“The situation isn’t good.”
“Hm?”
The Evil Emperor’s voice came from outside:
“What’s going on?” Ever since Yan Lang took action, Prophet Kaisen had been ordered to monitor the area within a mile around them. Saying the situation was bad naturally referred to Yan Lang and the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon, and his tone turned tense.
“Boss, do you remember when I was monitoring the battles between the top Heavenly Dao masters in the desert, I mentioned a young man in white?”
“Him?”
The Evil Emperor’s tone sharpened. “Didn’t you say he left the desert with his servants after escaping?”
“He indeed headed west for a long distance, showing no signs of turning back. That’s when I stopped monitoring him. For a long time afterward, I couldn’t even find him…”
“I know that. You said you had no idea who he was, so naturally, you couldn’t locate him.” After a pause, the Evil Emperor’s tone grew tense. “It’s said his strength is comparable to that of a Heavenly Dao master. Could it be… this guy has appeared again?”
“…”
Inside the room, Kaisen remained silent for two seconds before answering, “His servants have already appeared and led away a few of our brothers. I’m still trying to track him down, but I guess he’s probably lurking nearby…”
Outside, the Evil Emperor’s expression changed. “His servant—that old man is also a master in the later stages of the Mythical Realm. That means the man in white must be nearby… Good. He waited until now to strike—what cunning!” His voice stopped, followed by the sound of a homing pigeon taking off.
Kaisen immediately realized the Evil Emperor was sending a message to Yan Lang’s group via pigeon, but…
“I hope it’s not too late.”
Muttering to himself, Kaisen began manipulating the crystal ball again. The image moved rapidly left, right, up, and down, scanning the area within a mile around Yan Lang for any signs of activity.
…
Yan Lang’s eyes were blood-red, his movement swift as lightning—far faster than at his peak. From a distance of 180 meters, he caught up to one of the Wild Wolf Organization’s members from behind.
“Die!”
The latter had clearly seen too many of his brothers die at Yan Lang’s hands. He felt neither sorrow nor joy, only hoping to drag Yan Lang further away before dying—toward Yan Town, away from Xiao Taohong’s group…
Boom!!
Under the control of the Tiger Soul, Yan Lang’s strength had increased countless times over. His blade flashed, and his body, like rotten wood, shattered into a cloud of blood and debris.
Turning his gaze, Yan Lang focused on another brother who was speeding away not far away…
Whoosh!
“Next one, get ready!”
Xiao Taohong made quick arrangements, assigning two people to distract Yanlang’s attention from the main group and draw him away in different directions.
“Be careful! Try to hold out until Yan Town!”
“Understood!”
While giving orders, Xiao Taohong and the others didn’t slow down, continuing at full speed as Yan Town came into sight.
“We’re almost there!”
Xianer’s eyes lit up.
“Hurry up and send a signal to tell Kui Lang and the others to join us!”
“Okay!”
One person in the group promptly took out an object that looked like a small rocket from theira small rocket from their Qiankun bag bag, ready to launch it.
Just then! Something unexpected happened!!
Whoosh!!!
As the group of wild wolves flew over a ridge of sand dunes, a dark figure suddenly emerged from the sand!
Whoosh!!!
The sound of a sword was like a dragon’s roar. A sharp, cold sword light swept around in a circle.
Caught off guard by this sudden attack, several skilled members of the wild wolf group were struck down instantly—eight of them!
To Xiao Taohong and Xianer’s horror, this seemingly simple sword strike also knocked down several people who had activated their protective barriers, including Blood Prison Sword and Golden Raksha.
Bang! Bang…
In the air, the skilled members of the wild wolf group were as if struck by an invisible force, flying backward with dull thuds.
Eight people died on the spot!
“Enemy attack!”
“Be careful!!”
It wasn’t until eight people were killed that the group realized there were people hidden beneath the sand, causing them to turn pale with fear.
“Kai Xin!”
“It’s Kai Xin!!”
“Form a formation!”
“Great Banishment Spell! Quick!!” Although Xiao Taohong and Xianer had never seen the man in white fight in person, they recognized his figure from afar as extremely familiar. His appearance immediately brought a sense of danger and unease, and they both spoke out in unison, revealing his identity.
The group of wild wolf experts, being internationally renowned top fighters, reacted quickly, forming new teams of nine each.
“Hahaha……”
Still in mid-air, Kai Xin laughed heartily, “It’s too late!” He moved swiftly with his sword, darting toward Xiao Taohong at lightning speed.
“Never!”
Xianer immediately realized Kai Xin’s intention was to eliminate Xiao Taohong first. With a cold sneer, she drew her sword, its blade emitting a terrifying cold light, and rushed forward to confront Kai Xin head-on.
A classic tactic of luring the enemy into a trap.
“Hmph!”
Unexpectedly, facing the sword rushing toward him, Kai Xin didn’t even glance at it and simply pointed.
Sssh!
A milky-white finger wind struck Xianer’s flying sword head-on.
The peerless martial art of the Wuwei realm displayed its domineering side at this moment—the opponent’s flying sword was instantly shattered and sent flying back. With relentless swordsmanship, it arrived before Xiao Taohong in an instant. “I’ll fight you to the death!” At this life-or-death moment, Xiao Taohong’s face turned icy as she let out a cold shout. Her long sword automatically drew from its sheath, and using the same flying sword technique, she launched a fierce and brutal counterattack—a tactic that would surely result in mutual destruction. Yet… How could Kai Xin give her such a chance? Roar!!! With a single finger point, in the blink of an eye, Kai Xin opened his mouth and let out a dragon roar that could pierce through metal and stone… Xiao Taohong, who was right in front of him, was hit first. Her delicate body trembled; her mind was severely disrupted. In a daze, her flying sword became weak and limp, slanting past Kai Xin’s body before plunging into the distant desert. No good! Though the effect of the dragon roar lasted only a moment, Xiao Taohong’s heart sank. By the time she opened her eyes, Kai Xin’s sharp sword had already pierced through her body. Thud!!! Her flesh was torn apart. Xiao Taohong stared in disbelief at the oddly shaped sword deeply embedded in her chest. Her strength drained rapidly as her eyes widened… “You…” The words she wanted to say couldn’t form a complete sentence. But from the deep resentment and confusion in Xiao Taohong’s eyes, Kai Xin could understand the unspoken meaning: Even until her death, she wouldn’t know how Kai Xin had appeared in the desert, outside Yan Town! Thud!!! Kai Xin suddenly turned around! The moment the long sword was pulled out of Xiao Taohong’s body, bright red blood splashed into the air, creating a profoundly tragic and cold scene behind him. “Xiao Taohong!” “Bastard!” “Kill him!” It was fast—just as Kai Xin killed Xiao Taohong with his sword, the members of the Wild Wolf Organization also completed their formation. Eighteen of them formed two massive sealing arrays: Along the way, the Wild Wolf Organization still had quite a number of people, enough to confront and even defeat Kai Xin… Unfortunately! Dozens of them had been killed by Yan Lang earlier, and nine more by Kai Xin just now. Now, the remaining twenty or so could only form two large arrays… Yet! The “Great Sealing Array” was after all a top-tier formation secret technique. With the aura of those two Heavenly Dao masters unleashed, even Kai Xin had to concentrate, quickly shifting his attention away from Xian Er. Frowning, he suppressed his aura and scanned back and forth between the two groups of people. The experts of the Wild Wolf Organization hesitated no longer. The two leaders attacked at the same time! With the aura of the Heavenly Dao masters unleashed, an area of a hundred meters around them trembled!
A powerful sense of air vibration, along with a pressuring force that froze space, instantly summoned two fierce tornadoes from the desert! They forcefully squeezed Happy to the center.
Truly beyond the “Four Ultimate Sword Formation”!
His expression changed; Happy felt a chill in his heart. No wonder the Wild Wolf could snatch the Tiger Soul Divine Weapon from Eastern Invincible and the leader of the Heaven and Earth Alliance—this was the strength of a true master of the natural laws. His ability to seal space was likely even greater than that of the former Evil Emperor…
But…
Happy’s gaze darkened:
If it’s only at this level…
