In one of the buildings, just a few blocks away, both Yuan Shuchun and Xiao Ming were hiding in shock!
None of them dared to get to the battlefield - they knew this was the end for Jun Xie and the other two.
…
In a tavern just beside them.
Qin Wentian frowned at the scene, "Whatever happens, the result will still be the same - none of them will be able to leave today! This city shall be buried with my Ji Yi."
…
On the Ground.
Ye Tian Yun gritted his teeth and prepared himself to launch at least one attack.
There was a forty percent chance that he was going to end up in a death-like state after this and a sixty percent chance that he was going to die.
'That guy will be appearing soon. My backup plan should give us enough time to overturn the situation.'
"Your efforts are commendable," The Guard on the right, who had just killed Qing Shen, said, "But you are really underestimating Core Formation Realm if you think there's even the slightest chance of you to escape."
Ye Tian Yun gritted his teeth, "We will see."
Just then -
The Guard frowned and looked at the side.
"Who are you?" He asked.
An old man walked forward, "This young man belongs to us. Spare him, and we won't interfere. Dare to harm him, and you will face death."
…
A few minutes earlier.
In the tavern, the Elder was shocked to see the sudden turn in the situation.
"Didn't Shu Xian say there will be only one Core Formation Realm cultivator? Why the fuck are there three of them?"
Even he couldn't restrain himself from cursing.
"Elder, what should we do?" Jia Lei Shan whispered.
Even though he wasn't on the battlefield, he felt frightened.
Three Core Formation Realm cultivators were enough to level the whole Silver Mist Mountain!
And he was just a Peak Qi Stabilization Realm cultivator.
He won't even survive a flick.
The Elder frowned, "We can't lose Yang Kai - the princess isn't as important as him. I will distract the guards for a moment. You go and capture Yang Kai!"
"Yes, Elder!" Jia Lei Shan nodded his head and glanced at Ye Tian Yun, who was currently disguised as Kai Yang, a.k.a Yang Kai.
...
"Who are you?" The guard frowned and asked again.
The old man replied in an arrogant tone, "You are not worthy of knowing me. Just move aside, and do yourself a favor." Pointing at Ye Tian Yun, he said, "This kid belongs to us. You can take the rest and do as you like."
The guard frowned, "We will know who's worthy and who's not. As for this kid, he dared to make an assassination attempt on her highness - he deserves death!"
The Old man, who was actually the Devil Sect's Elder, snarled at the guard, "You dare!"
"Hmph!" The guard ignored him and flew towards Ye Tian Yun.
In the next instant, he was about to cut Ye Tian Yun in two, but he suddenly felt being struck by a boulder from the side.
"Piak! Cough cough!" The guard somersaulted a few times and struck on the wall, coughing up blood.
"Old bastard!" The guard snarled and moved for an attack!
"It's been a long time, haha - come!" The Elder snarled and went for the attack.
Another pair of Core Formation Realm began to fight, and the Elder, too, just like Peak Master Duan, took his opponent quite a distance away from the location.
…
Now, on the ground, there remained only five people - three people from Gracious Sword Sect's side, the last guard, and the Third Princess Of Wu.
The guard didn't move - his priority was not killing the enemies but keeping the princess safe.
He had confidence in his brothers, and he knew that those two would return in no time.
Just then, someone called out - "We will handle these bastards!"
It was Ao Ba Ho!
The younger brother of the dead Clan Head Ao Ba PA!
And behind Ao Ba Ho were all the guards from the Ao Ba clan!
The guard slightly nodded his head and permitted them to interfere.
Ye Tian Yun, Jun Xie, and Fu Kai - the three of the entourage took a deep breath and readied themselves for a fight to the death.
While Jun Xie and Fu Kai were focused on the Ao Ba Clan members in front of them - Ye Tian Yun's mind was focused on something else.
A hidden enemy!
Waiting for the right opportunity to strike!
'The Devil Sect… only Jia Lei Shan remains. His cultivation was Peak Qi Stabilization, just like Yin Shan. I will be able to handle him.'
'But I hope my backup plan - the Elder - survives long enough.'
The main reason he had chosen to complicate matters related to Shu Xian and Kai Yang and then disguise as Kai Yang was so that he could get back into the group, and there would be a protective cover on him.
This protective cover was none other than the Devil Sect members.
Unfortunately, he had to kill Yin Shan last night, or else the meat shield would have been a bit thicker!
'I still have my trump card.'
…
Within the tavern, Jia Lei Shan was waiting for the attack from Ao Ba Clan to begin - he had decided to use them as a distraction and attack from behind.
He was not going to release any killing intent - by the time Yang Kai noticed him, it would be too late.
"Attack!"
Just then, Ao Ba Ho gave a war cry, and all the guards from the Ao Ba Clan jumped on the trio - ready to cut them into pieces.
As soon as the first few guards reached them -
"Now!"
Jia Lei Shan went straight for Yang Kai.
But something weird happened.
As soon as he came out - including himself, everyone on the ground suddenly felt as if a wall of strong gale of air brushed past them.
In the next moment, a very frightening pressure descended upon everyone!
