Chapter 63: Chapter 63: Sword Team Sets Out (Three Updates)
Disciples from the Profound Yellow Sect poured out from the backyard.
Their Power had greatly increased after the last Task.
This time, facing the Followers of the Blood Demon Sect, they showed no fear whatsoever.
"Members of the Sword Team, to me! Let’s cut down those Third Grade enemies first!" shouted What Should His Name Be, the Sword Team Captain. He rallied a dozen fearless Players, and they charged forward with blades raised.
Their ferocity matched even that of Morgana.
Under the influence of the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, their strength reached a terrifying level.
The blades that once seemed heavy now felt as light as feathers in their hands.
Any casual move they made could rout the Blood Demon Sect Followers.
What Should His Name Be, leading a dozen Players, carved a bloody path for the others following behind.
They ruthlessly slaughtered their way from the backyard into the passage.
And they didn’t even stop there.
Sparks flew and lightning flashed around them! Slashing through enemies was as easy as cutting vegetables as they carved a path through the corridor.
"This is so satisfying! One person is worth five Contribution Points. These Blood Demon Sect Followers are clearly elite enemies."
"I’ve killed seven already! Let’s keep pushing outward. We’ll start the massacre in the Front Courtyard!"
"Everyone, follow Boss Chopping King! He clearly knows how to chop people up."
"Brothers, charge! Cut down these elite enemies!"
"..."
Facing the Sword Team from the Profound Yellow Sect, the Blood Demon Sect members blocking the path all fell to the ground one by one.
Where had they seen such a scene before?
Aren’t Jianghu People supposed to cherish their own lives?
Why were the people from the Profound Yellow Sect fighting so fiercely, as if their lives didn’t matter?
At this moment, the Blood Demon Sect Followers realized why the people in Fengxiang Prefecture said the Disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect were Mad Dogs.
They were simply a scourge of Jianghu.
Sect battles were common, but who fought so desperately?
Isn’t surviving the best outcome?
"Retreat, retreat! Fall back to the Front Courtyard first; these maniacs have lost their minds!"
"I thought our Blood Demon Sect was ruthless enough, but it seems I was wrong. The people from the Profound Yellow Sect are the real monsters."
"Just now, one of our brothers was hacked by five people, turned directly into mincemeat! They don’t even use proper techniques; they just hack wildly."
"These Profound Yellow Sect people are all demons; they’re all demons!"
"..."
Where had the Followers of the Blood Demon Sect ever witnessed such a scene?
Usually, they were the ones who bullied Jianghu People or ganged up on them, making a name for themselves through brute force.
But now?
The tables had turned.
Against the Profound Yellow Sect, they didn’t even have the right to fight back.
Face to face with the Disciples of the Profound Yellow Sect, they didn’t even get a chance to beg for mercy. The moment one of them was injured, a dozen Players would pounce to finish them off.
Sometimes, they even struck their own comrades in the frenzy.
If this wasn’t madness, what was?
Not even sparing their own people—who were the real members of the Demon Sect?
Flourishing Flowers, accompanied by Chaotic Dance Steps, leaped onto a rooftop. From this high vantage point, they observed the Players rampaging below, gaining an overview of the entire situation.
"We need to send a team to the Front Courtyard quickly; I’m worried Junlin and his team won’t last," Flourishing Flowers said.
Chaotic Dance Steps pondered, "The Sect Leader is going to battle that Boss. When that happens, Junlin and his team will definitely be affected. We must have our people in the Front Courtyard. If we lose control of the main gate and the enemy sends reinforcements through it, we’ll lose our advantage."
Hearing this, Flourishing Flowers nodded in agreement.
This Chaotic Dance Steps was the strategist type.
Previously, she hadn’t paid him much mind, but now he was perfectly positioned to oversee the larger battle.
Command was one thing, but effective coordination was also crucial, and Chaotic Dance Steps was just the person for that task.
He was the first Military Advisor of their Cloud Lament guild!
"Who do you think we should send?" Flourishing Flowers asked, frowning slightly.
The Sword Team members were charging toward the Front Courtyard, and any Players who wanted to join them could only trail behind.
Climbing over the wall was also an option.
But as soon as they did, they would be met by numerous Blood Demon Sect Followers.
Going over was akin to a suicide mission; it would be better to stick with the main force.
"What Should His Name Be!"
Chaotic Dance Steps fixed his gaze on the Sword Team’s Chopping King and said with a smile, "They are leading the charge right now, so let them handle it. First, let’s figure out a way to coordinate with them to break into the Front Courtyard. Meanwhile, Daytime Alms’ Construction Team will circle around from the Backyard to execute a pincer attack from the main entrance!"
Flourishing Flowers nodded gently, also feeling that this plan was feasible.
She immediately called out to What Should His Name Be, who was leading the Sword Team on a bloody rampage below.
"Chopping King, take your Sword Team to the Front Courtyard as quickly as possible to help out!"
Flourishing Flowers then commanded, "Daytime Alms, take your Construction Team on a detour toward the main entrance to coordinate with Chopping King for a pincer attack!"
Upon hearing their assignments, both leaders took on their respective roles and began to coordinate their efforts.
What Should His Name Be led his men with even greater ferocity.
Aside from redeeming Inner Energy Techniques, his Sword Team had also acquired the Blood Blade Saber Art.
This was the martial art of the Blood Blade Sect from Tibet, notorious for its ruthless and brutal moves.
Enhanced by the Dragon Elephant Prajna Skill, their power was astonishingly great.
The Sword Team members fought with increasing fierceness, leading the Players behind them as they charged straight into the Front Courtyard.
Seeing that they couldn’t hold them back anymore, the Blood Demon Sect Followers retreated in disarray, relinquishing the passage.
Chaotic Dance Steps stood atop the roof, his gaze shifting from Jin Mansion to the Outside.
At this moment, chaos had also erupted Outside.
A large number of Blood Demon Sect Followers had rushed over from outside the city. Among them were many cultivators of the Third Grade and Second Grade Realm.
Trouble! Chaotic Dance Steps furrowed his brows tightly.
Flourishing Flowers also understood what was happening; an even larger number of elite enemies had been drawn to the battle.
Not good! Flourishing Flowers’s expression changed, and she said, "Quick, go help Daytime Alms! Otherwise, his Construction Team will be wiped out Outside."
The elite enemies Outside far outnumbered those within Jin Mansion. Daytime Alms’ Construction Team consisted of only a dozen or so people. They were no match for their opponents.
Heading out now was like marching to their deaths.
"We can’t divide our forces anymore!" Chaotic Dance Steps frowned and said, "We must take down Jin Mansion first. Otherwise, their numbers Outside will keep growing, and our situation will only get worse."
His words essentially meant abandoning Daytime Alms’ Construction Team. After all, for Players, dying once was no big deal; it wouldn’t affect much. Besides, these were all elite monsters, each worth five Contribution Points. The rewards from killing them would be substantial enough.
「Inside the Front Courtyard.」
Xu Nian watched as the Players burst in from the Backyard and wasted no more time.
His Internal Energy drained wildly as he charged toward Blood Evil.
Facing the oncoming Xu Nian, Blood Evil showed no reaction at all, instead calmly watching his approach.
Even though his opponent was fast and possessed strong leg techniques, what use was it?
BANG!
A kick landed.
Xu Nian felt as if he hadn’t kicked a person, but a steel column embedded with reinforced concrete!
Blood Evil’s body merely slid back a few steps.
However, Xu Nian felt a numbing sensation in his right leg.
How could this be? With the Eight Gates Escape Armor activated, he should be able to ignore Realms and kill his opponent. Why was he unable to deal with this person?
"Your speed is decent, and your power is acceptable," Blood Evil remarked calmly, dusting off his clothes with a Willow Branch. "But how many more times can you kick? I am not like Black Robe and Scattered Soul—those mindless fools!"
