Ah, is that how it starts? Xiao Jie was taken aback; this person was indeed decisive and quick in action.
"I’m going as well." Master Mingyue pinched a sword technique and leapt up onto his Flying Sword, flying into the fray.
Master Longhua rode his Immortal Crane and followed.
Only the Great Wilderness Hermit’s actions were slower.
Roaring out, "Ancestor Witch Dharma—Zhu Rong’s Avatar!" flames suddenly erupted all over him, and his body expanded dozens of times in an instant, transforming into a Flame Giant over ten meters tall and striding indomitably toward the abyss.
Xiao Jie paused for a few seconds, then realized, did no one even ask him to join? It seemed he was genuinely just an addition, his presence or absence making no difference.
Gritting his teeth, he still followed.
Shortly after, he saw a ground littered with demon corpses, all neatly bisected, apparently the Outer Circle guards.
Xiao Jie clicked with his mouse, but found he couldn’t loot the bodies. It seemed that expecting to freeload from the monsters killed by NPCs was futile.
He hurriedly quickened his pace, as he was on a mission.
The dark tunnel led steeply downward, the tall stone walls eventually covering the ceiling above, the surroundings pitch black. Thankfully, the blazing flames from the Great Wilderness Hermit’s enormous form were clearly visible in the darkness.
Grass Flying—Galloping!
Xiao Jie activated dual acceleration, finally catching up with the others in a cavern at a corner, where a fierce battle was already underway.
But rather than a battle, it seemed more like a massacre.
Master Xiao Yue, wielding Dual Blades, charged in the forefront, his speed so swift that he left behind lingering after-images.
This was not the use of any body movement skill but purely an onslaught of charging and leaping, each leap covering over ten meters, a charge as swift as teleportation, easily killing by sheer speed, facing these ordinary Demon Soldiers as effortlessly as an adult playing with children.
Only a silver shadow was seen continuously entering and exiting the horde of demons, as fluid as a hot knife through butter.
Xiao Jie, previously confident in his speed, felt he could compete with agility-type bosses, but watching Master Xiao Yue slaughter through the demons, a chill couldn’t help but rise in his heart. Facing a master like Master Xiao Yue, he feared he wouldn’t last but a few rounds.
These demons seemed to be led by various rebellious Monster Leaders, a hodgepodge of all sorts, jackals, tigers, eagles, crows, snakes, and even shrimp soldiers and crab generals.
Probably with no hierarchy, chaotically mixed together.
Before Master Xiao Yue, they were utterly powerless, unable to react fast enough to even touch the edges.
"Don’t let that woman escape!"
"Quick, call the king!"
The demons roared and surged forward all at once.
"Bring it on!" Master Xiao Yue laughed heartily, leaping into the air. His graceful figure momentarily suspended before he transformed into a silver shadow and plunged into the horde of demons.
Moon Shadow Blade Dance First Move—Dance of Autumn Wind!
The Dual Blades spun and slashed, each slice sending out dozens of silver-white Sword Energies.
The sounds of Sword Energy piercing flesh were incessant.
"Let me handle this!" a Level 32 Elite Bull Demon roared and charged.
Master Xiao Yue chuckled lightly, leaping up again, his figure suddenly enveloped by an ominous blood-red halo.
A slash sent out, the blood-red blade drawing a full circle as if a blood moon had blossomed out of thin air.
Moon Shadow Blade Dance Seventh Move—Blood Moon Kill!
The Bull Demon was hit squarely by the Blood Moon, instantly stiffening in place, split in half a moment later.
Xiao Jie watched, dumbstruck. That strike must have dealt over a thousand damage.
After that strike, Master Xiao Yue seemed slightly drained, leaning on his sword, breathing heavily.
A Wolf Demon sensed an opportunity, "She’s out of strength, all together now!"
Dozens of demons rushed forward, seeking to exploit her weakness, but Master Xiao Yue suddenly looked up, a mischievous malicious smile crossing her attractive face.
Her Dual Blades fiercely plunged into the ground.
"Moon Shadow Blade Dance Ninth Form—Blade Lotus!"
Instantly, it was as if silver lotuses bloomed, twelve crescent-shaped Sword Energies shooting out in all directions.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! The demons in front fell instantly.
The rest cried out in panic and scattered.
Meanwhile, Master Mingyue was even more straightforward.
Manipulating his Flying Sword, he struck down each demon individually, a white sword light danced around him, continuously piercing through the charging demons.
"Don’t die one by one, let’s go together!"
Seven or eight Bull Demons, Tiger Demons, Bear Demons, and other large demons charged together, like a row of meaty mountains, their momentum staggering.
Master Mingyue greeted it with a hint of a cold smile in his eyes.
Pinching a sword technique, his Flying Sword instantly fell into his hand.
Some unknown spell was used, and suddenly a white Sword Qi, over ten meters long, blazed forth from the blade.
He swung with all his might, a tremendous sweep of Sword Qi lighting up the pitch-black cave, cutting through whatever was before it—Tiger Demons, Bear Demons, all split in two.
Damn it? This damage is unscientific.
Xiao Jie watched, his scalp tingling. Even if your levels are high and your templates powerful, this method of killing one by one, a sword strike clearing a row, is too exaggerated, isn’t it?
While the other two were technique-types, the Great Wilderness Hermit was purely a strength-type, his enormous Flame Giant causing the demons to dare not approach, running scattered. The Flame Giant moved slowly, its efficiency in killing much lower, only chasing the demons around chaotically.
