Firecleaver snickered as he swung his lance around to warm himself up as well as showing Pei that he had the competency to use it well. The Club Generals might have been killed in a flash but their speciality was in their strength, not their speed. Pei utilised that weakness to make sure that they never rise again even though they tried to compensate by using numbers to make up for it.?????e??ovel*???
That was why the Demon Rat Lance General thought that he would have an edge against an agile opponent since the title of the Lance General had always been given to the Demon Rat with the fastest speed. Not to mention, he had consumed the Lifestream energies albeit not as much as Prideblood and Cinderclaw.
Thus, he was confident that he would have an edge against Pei and believed he finally could have some fun since the opponents he fought never provided him with the relevant challenge. In fact, he felt bad for the lady swordsman since the lance had always been superior to swords because of its length, striking power and the ability to adapt from a distance.
Nevertheless, he did not know that Pei came from an era where such mediaeval weapons were almost irrelevant in the face of cultivation powers. The only use for such weapons was only used to channel their chi and dump whatever energy they could gather towards their enemy.
So the poor Firecleaver thought that he had the edge against Pei and charged arrogantly toward her. If Pei could scoff at that idiot within the time he attacked, she would have done it. However, his attack was so pathetically simple that she felt she had taken advantage of Jin’s deal. Even if the two of those generals had combined, they were no match to the Crane Fox who had performed battles that were beyond this set of particular ‘skills’.
And without much hesitation, Pei had sliced him into two by using his momentum as the catalyst. Firecleaver did not even have the opportunity to utilise his skills at all but so the same could be said about Pei when all she had done was putting her katana at the correct position for him to be sliced.
To be frank, Pei did not expect him to die that quickly. “Perhaps, he had some special skill with him.” That was what she thought and hoped that he might split into two and fight against her with whatever lifestream energy that Jin was so worried about.
Yet, the reality was harsher than her fictional imagination as she was standing in between both parts of Firecleaver and could only sigh that her job was done. But as the Crane Fox decided to walk away from the ‘murder’ scene, she could sense a strange energy moving throughout the area.
“Ah, this must be the lifestream energy that Jin was talking about,” Pei said as she tried to sense the movement of the said energy. However, instead of dissipating into the air like how most form energies would do, it seemed like it was moving in a particular direction and she decided to follow it, hoping that it would lead her to somewhere exciting.
It was not long until she saw one of Kraft’s Night Foxes looking around the area. Only through a brief conversation that Pei remembered that the Night Foxes were looking for the Lifestream Energy Bomb.
“Did you sense the movement of the lifestream energies?” Pei asked the Dark Elf and he said that he could only briefly sense it and needed full concentration to trace it. “Ah, so I accidentally interrupted your job,” Pei replied, knowing that she was just going to use it as an excuse to follow him so that she had something to do.
It was only at that time she realised that she was becoming like Kraft, wanting to do something fun just to escape from the real work. She momentarily slapped herself on the cheeks, inciting the curiosity of the Night Fox but the Dark Elf was intuitive enough to ignore her. He knows that asking could inadvertently bring more trouble for himself.
Unfortunately, it seemed as if Pei’s instinct were always right on the money as both the Dark Elf and she found themselves going through a rather derelict building which was not given much care and away from all the current fighting that was occurring throughout the city. The moment they went through the front door, the presence of magic was immense and Pei could feel the intensity of the lifestream energy gathering right below the building.
“There could be a chance we hit the jackpot.” The Dark Elf said and Pei nodded her head in agreement. However, if they were to notify the other Night Foxes, it could possibly be too late for the group since the presence of magic might mean that the Mage General would notice enemies within the vicinity.
Thus, the System that was monitoring the situation instantly informed Pei to retrieve the lifestream energy bomb and override any orders that she had. While she was not obligated to listen to the System because of what it had done to her previously, the Crane Fox knew that it was Jin’s desire to get the lifestream energy bomb and end this war charade as soon as possible.
“I guess, getting the Lifestream Energy Bomb should be an equivalent exchange for that hot spring instance luxury package.” Pei reasoned it would be a good trade and told the Dark Elf that followed her to look after the entrance, defeat any trespassers and inform her if any Generals decided to come knocking on this building.
Obviously, the orders were easy for the Dark Elf to follow and he was more than competent to comply, so he nodded his head in agreement and left the acquisition of the lifestream energy bomb to Pei.
For a short while, Pei assumed that any Demon Rats that were hiding within the basement of this derelict building would be as useless as the generals she fought against. But unlike the Lance General, this entire basement was filled with a heavy aura of lifestream energies and that might prove some challenge even for the Crane Fox.
