Chapter 465 Steady Hands

Chapter 465 Steady Hands

The eight disciples of the Yin Yang Unity Palace fought against an overwhelming force of the Phoenix Sword Sect, but on their side they had superior techniques and also the fact that the opponents were passive and disorganized.

Though Hua Ziyan had to intervene and crush the five Elders in the Foundation Building Realm as there was no way the disciples in the Revolving Qi Realm could beat them, as well as provided support when the numbers overwhelmed them as the ones panicking at the back finally understood that their only slim chances of surviving were in defeating the enemy.

What was unique in their combat was that the eight people fought in four distinct groups of two with seamless cooperation, which also then had a good teamwork between the couples.

Wu Long mainly watched as no one was brave enough to approach him, and soon even Hua Ziyan had to chase after people as no one wanted to fight her either.

As she came to his side he nodded with a smile.

"Your technique improved nicely, and you are even able to conjure almost 30 fists at the same time now"

"Hehe, it is all thanks to your teachings and training"

She spoke humbly but was visibly pleased with the praise as he chuckled, giving her a kiss on the forehead.

"Don't minimize your hard work"

"Hehe"

As she closed her eyes for a moment in bliss there was a look of horror in the eyes of the remaining Phoenix Sword Sect members who saw the two sharing a tender moment in the middle of this carnage.

"Hmm, what do you think?"

He then asked as he turned to watch Lian Zhiqiu's 'hidden dagger' and the couple he mentored a little fight.

"Ehm... a little underwhelming?"

Hua Ziyan hesitated in consideration, but still spoke her honest feelings as Wu Long nodded as well, expecting more of them.

If even a third of the enemies launched a well-coordinated attack at once they would have been mowed down without a doubt. And even as they managed to take down a large number of the severely demoralized and disoriented enemies there was still a point when the other side reorganized and Hua Ziyan had to intervene.

"Then again they do lack combat experience which they are getting now... hmm, though I guess we do have to use a more robust method of training after all.

Not to mention that the number of people we would have to train is quite substantial with the Liugwei Escort Agency and the Feng army included"

Wu Long then spoke with determined expression as he seemed to have decided the next course of action. Read latest chapters at nov(e)lbin.com Only

As they cleaned up the bloodied passage between the two rocks Wu Long retrieved spatial rings of both the Grand Elder and Prime Disciple, the rest handed to him by Xia Jung who thoughtfully collected them for him.

"Heh, it seems this formation has a hard time distinguishing death of a Demonic Beast, it counted their deaths so I guess we're ahead of everyone"

He predicted that there would be many occasions when the situation would be stacked against their side in the future. And subordinates who needed constant looking after were not someone he needed. Instead what he required were people who could pull their own weight and a little more on top.

He gave them everything necessary for them to come out victorious in this situation, it was time for them to use that.

They could soon hear the distant dull noise which rapidly grew louder. And then, as the numerous hard objects clashing with the hard ground began to be distinguishable among the rumbling, they saw distant silhouettes appear at the far side of the distant passages in the blizzard.

The disciples widened their eyes as they saw four-legged beasts about as tall as an average human's chest on all fours, with two glowing eyes on either side of an elongated skull and crystal-like protrusions making it seem like big chunks of ice were growing out of their bodies.

"Look at your opponent closely. What do you see?"

Wu Long said as the disciples watched the beasts close in.

"Their form looks agile and aggressive but not very well protected, designed to overwhelm with attack rather than endure"

Xia Jung reported back as Wu Long nodded with a smile.

"Very good, you can also see what tier each one is quite easily, see if you can spot it"

"...the protrusions on the back, the largest ones seem to increase with each tier, as there are only three out of every one we can see that have four protrusions, and they exude the aura of a 4th-tier Demonic Beast"

Wu Long made another satisfied nod as it seemed their surprise did not overwhelm their senses and thinking.

He deliberately did not disclose the type of Demonic Beast to them as this was in a way a preparation rather than a simple event for them.

The disciples stood in pairs and readied their weapons as Spiritual Qi techniques were activated.

And as soon as the tide streamed into the passage they commenced their attacks.

Hua Ziyan went forward cutting into the tide and lessening the burden of that initial clash as her Spiritual Qi fists crashed the beasts, each only needing one strike to put down.

"Haha, if she improves at this rate there would be hardly anyone in her realm who could take her head-on"

Wu Long chuckled as he looked at her onslaught.

The relatively narrow passage gave the disciples an advantage much like in the earlier fight with the larger force of the Phoenix Sword Sect, and as they were now only worried about one side their defense held strong.

And even though corpses piled up and blood flooded the footing they steadily climbed the pile of corpses to get a better position.

As Wu Long and Hua Ziyan helped them to get used to the continuing tide of Demonic Beasts, they started stabilizing, steadily holding their spot.

After several hours, when he saw that they were dealing with the occasional 4th-tier and sometimes appearing 5th-tier beasts without needing any help, he nodded to Hua Ziyan, and after giving the disciples a sign they both moved forward, Hua Ziyan opening a path for them without any trouble.
