At Saran’s residence.
While Giyon, Senior Elder Ma and clan leader lead their own groups of people to this place. Saran is facing multiple enemies at the same time.
He is panting a bit, but he is actually in far better shape than his first opponent Kriyon.
Kriyon has his whole body bruised. He is in his Naga battle form and several of his scales were peeled off his skin and he is bleeding everywhere.
One of his fangs was gone and it is actually stuck in his back.
Half of the scales that are on his spine were taken out and one of his eyes is bleeding profusely. Saran did some dirty job on him.
But currently, Kriyon is the one who is feeling smug and confident.
“Come on, how long do you think you can hold up, with all four of us here? Do you really think a cultivator that has newly broken through could take all of us on at the same time?”
Kriyon said as he extended his hands pointing at the new help he got.
The whole front yard is littered with corpses of the people that are not of the same cultivation level as them but still tried to interfere in the battle.
Saran killed at least two dozen people in the last fight, but there is not a single scar or bruise left on his body.
Except for the sweat and panting, nobody would have thought he was even involved in the fight. His robe is even clear of any bloodstains.
He looked at Kriyon with a deep frown while eyeing everyone that surrounded him.
“I don’t care how many of you guys come at me today. Not a single one of you getting near my children.”
“Why are you so adamant? Just hand over your children and join the divine league. You are clearly strong enough and not only would your children survive, but they would also be blessed by the gods and groomed by the people that the gods choose.
They are the luckiest children in the universe.”
“God’s chosen? The pathetic lackeys lick the feet of the gods because of the treats that are being thrown at them.
What right do they have to teach my children?
By what right do the gods you worship think they are worthy of even coveting my children?
Helping these gods is my children’s luck? It is lucky for them that I need some more time to grow. Or else, I would have pulled the tongues out of every god and deity that even looks at my children.”
“You Gaja clan’s members are as adamant and stubborn as always. How dare you guys think you are better than the gods that are ruling us? Your arrogance once brought your clan close to extinction and this time, you successfully brought it.”
Kriyon spoke and gestured for all of his companions to attack.
Saran braced himself as he got ready to attack as well.
But right before they made contact.
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
*BOOM*
A series of explosions rained down from behind the group in the middle.
Giyon just jumped off of some flying beasts along with her subordinates while she threw some of Sam’s needles into the fray.
Kriyon looked at the rear and was surprised.
“Why is Giyon here? Isn’t Black Witch supposed to handle her?”
One of the other three was also shocked and said.
“I already told you, that killing Giyon is a must if we attack her. Sonic Prince wouldn’t leave us alive if he even finds a hint of our involvement in her attack.
We either had to steer clear of her completely or kill her without leaving a trace.”
He started panicking.
“Shut up.”
Kriyon yelled as he looked up, but at this moment, Saran attacked him from behind cutting his tail off in a single hit.
“AHHHHH…”
“You bastard. “
He turned around and started attacking as he tried his best to defend himself and his friends also started battling with Saran.
Except for the one who panicked of course.
“I am going to go and kill her. I cannot let her live.”
“You sick bastard. What is wrong with you? The sonic prince must have died in that trap laid down by the Star eye sect. he wouldn’t have survived it.”
“I don’t know. As long as I didn’t hear the news of his death, I don’t believe he is dead and if he is not dead, then his daughter must die as soon as possible.”
As he said that, he immediately ran back into the crowd and moved towards Giyon, who is fighting against the small fries at the rear.
But just before he could make a move at her, all of a sudden…
*SLASH*
A large blade of spatial energy, dark elemental energy and death energy appeared out of nowhere right in front of him, throwing him off.
The earth shook a bit and with huge spatial energy swirling around, Senior Elder Ma appeared out of thin air along with the rest of his subordinates, all of them standing in the formation.
The old man who was after Giyon was forced to combat the attacks of the formation as one slash after another landed at him with every hand movement Senior Elder Ma made.
His real cultivation is the Middle-stage Consummation of Astral Plane, but with the help of this formation and all the undead creatures that are within, he managed to not just block the Peak stage cultivator, but also attacked him.
But Senior Elder Ma had a grim look on his face.
He knew he wouldn’t be able to hold on to this person for long. So, he looked at the main battle-field Saran is still holding up against three people by himself.
He thought of something and made a move.
A slash broke the spatial barrier and appeared right beside kriyon who was about to attack Saran.
“AHHHHHHHHH…”
Saran screamed on top of his lungs and looked at Senior Elder Ma. That was another mistake as Saran took this chance and landed one hit on the heart from behind, killing him instantly.
*SLASH*
But he was also a victim of one slash on his back.
*BOOM*
Senior Elder Ma also got hit by this old man and his formation took a great hit. The damage of most of it is transferred to the undead creatures, but this decreased the durability of it all.
Now there are three people, but Senior Elder Ma can barely take two more hits, as he was rapidly thinking, Giyon suddenly looked at him and threw him something.
“Senior Elder Ma, take a look.”
She yelled out loud and he caught the thing. It is actually a formation plate and when he looked at it, there is a small note carved on top of it.
It is a set of instructions and he started calculating rapidly to see what will happen if he followed that and the result scared the crap out of him.
He never thought of using a formation like this before, because that goes against every rule of formation that he ever learned. Formations were all about channelling the energy to create something that could cause destruction, but not creating the destruction itself.
But he knew that this would be working wonders.
*BOOM*
Another hit landed on the formation and Senior Elder Ma immediately made his move.
All the undead creatures changed positions and the formation was altered a bit. In the middle of the formation, he placed the formation disc and activated it before slapping his hands together and making a few hand signs.
The formation’s barrier disappeared for a split second and the old man that was attacking him immediately entered.
He wanted to kill Senior Elder Ma with that one hit, but he was unable to do that.
Ma and all of his subordinates suddenly disappeared and the barrier that disappeared reappeared again trapping the old man inside.
The old man didn’t worry, though. He knew that he could break out of this easily, but she also realized something that he should have realized sooner.
*BOOM*
A large scale spatial explosion was triggered with the formation disc as the origin and the old man was stuck in it along with a bunch of cultivator lackeys of Divine league.
Senior Elder Ma and his subordinates reappeared on the other end of the crowd and they joined the fray of attacking.
The explosion dust cleared and a lot of spatial tears could be seen in that spot, but the old man is still alive.
Ma gritted his teeth and showed almost screamed in anger. This is the most emotion he has shown in a while.
The peak stage of Astral Plane cultivation is really hard to beat with just tricks.
But it didn’t take long for his anger to turn into surprise and then relief.
*SLASH*
A flash of golden streak appeared out of nowhere and landed right beside the old man in the middle of spatial tears and cut him in half.
“Clan’s leader is finally here with the Elite squad. Everyone slaughter the enemy.”
Senior Elder Ma screamed on top of his lungs as he charged forward.
