Vague rustling noises echoed in the distance, slowly and surely getting closer and closer.
Tang Yue clutched her soul sword tightly and muttered. "They are here."
Charlotte nodded.
The duo were on high alert and their battle spirit was surging faster than their blood.
The newly arrived guests did not make them wait long and quickly materialized around them, encircling the two women.
Since they were expecting stronger Saint realm experts this time around, only Little Plum was standing beside Tang Yue and Charlotte and the other two beasts remained hidden in the forest.
They would only be a liability if they tried to intervene here.
Tang Yue, Charlotte, and Little Plum, all three stood defensively, as the five figures slowly encircled them.
Thick black smoke poured out of their body and their aura was extremely domineering.
Tang Yue glared at her opponents, waiting and watching, her eyes keen like a hawk's.
Charlotte, on the other hand, looked slightly nervous.
"The five black Generals." She muttered under her breath.
"What?" Tang Yue asked, her eyes still fixated on the enemies surrounding them.
Before Charlotte could answer her question, one of the figures coldly chuckled.
"Heh. Little girl. Who are you really? You seem to be knowing a little too much?"
Another figure standing next to him coldly snorted. "It doesn't matter. They won't be leaving this place alive."
"Ha Ha. Indeed."
"Little girl, since you already know about us, why don't you talk sense to your beast friend and tell her to just surrender."
"Your friend's fate is sealed. But you can still save yourself."
"You don't look half bad. You can even be our sex slave. Ke Ke Ke."
"It is indeed a privilege to serve us brothers."
"What do you say, little girl?"
These five elves were the five famed Generals, all proficient in dark elemental magic.
They were rumored to be one of the high council elder's personal Generals but no one knew any other details.
They were the ultimate shadow Generals and people who knew about them did not survive to tell the tale.
"Eh! Stop chatting. I am getting bored here." Another figure impatiently licked his sword with his tongue.
Tang Yue chuckled, her smile warm and kind, but filled with ridicule.
She looked at Charlotte and winked. "We shouldn't keep our guests waiting, my dear."
"You bitch!"
The last elf who had spoken was enraged and rushed forward, his speed quite astounding for someone in peak Saint realm.
"Loose earth." Tang Yue muttered, almost at the same time.
The ground around them instantly shook and the grains of sand loosened.
"Trying to falter my footing? Dream on. This is just a stupid parlor trick." The elf snorted and continued dashing forward.
It was as if his feet were barely touching the ground, so the loosened earth had little to no effect on him.
But this didn't mean that the man underestimated his opponents.
His eyes flitted between Charlotte and Tang Yue, paying attention to even the smallest movement from their side.
And to his surprise, only Tang Yue had made a move so far.
The other woman simply stood aside, her figure enveloped by a lightning barrier, that too a top-grade one.
The elf could tell that even if he tried his attack will not easily pass through that barrier.
But he didn't have to concern himself with that just yet.
He didn't really care about the second woman. She could play turtle and stand under her barrier all day long.
The man's eyes were only on Tang Yue as he charged forward.
All the five Generals looked at the spirit beast who had somehow managed to provoke the entire elven high council.
They wanted to know just what she was capable of.
Tang Yue grinned. She felt the several pairs of eyes on her and it gave her goosebumps.
The elf was dashing towards her at such a high speed, but she didn't make a single move yet, apart from the weak earth spell.
Why should she have to unnecessarily waste her energy?
She simply stood, waiting for the prey to come to her.
The elf's eyes widened seeing that he was not getting the proper respect that he deserved, but he nevertheless slashed at the snake mercilessly.
It was her mistake to have underestimated him.
Kacha
His sword pierced through the wind at a speed invisible to the eyes, and roared thunderously, slashing at the blue-skinned woman.
Clang
Tang Yue's body slightly moved, her movements extremely minute and her sword matched the incoming attack, blocking the powerful blow.
The elf's eyes further widened in surprise and the other Generals as well took a note of it.
Blocking an attack with very little movement was the mark of a sword expert!
But he was not done just yet.
As soon as he landed, he twisted his body and swirled around, slashing at Tang Yue for a second time.
However, this time, a thick black smoke emanated from his sword, and rather than the sword itself slashing the woman, it was a wave of black smoke that came roaring at her.
Heh. Tang Yue chuckled.
At least last time she made a small move to block the attack, but this time, she did not even do that.
She allowed the rotting black wave of energy to casually fall on her as if it was just a rush of the evening breeze.
The dark elemental energy swiftly sliced through her armor, cut her robe, and was headed straight for her neck.
This was an attack meant for killing her with a single blow!
The elf sneered seeing that he was about to win.
They had heard a lot of things about this beast bride of the Crown Prince, but it turned out that they were not true after all.
The bitch did not even know enough to counter a dark elemental sword slash.
She stood like a chicken waiting to be slaughtered.
The elf's sneer widened as he saw the pitch-black slash touch the woman's neck.
He even prepared to lick the blood which would be spurting out from her neck any second now.
This was a point of no return and only a clean victory awaited him!
