Chapter 247: Fighting

Hui and Li Xiang blasted out of the dark void alongside a handful of fellow disciples, all of them with their hair bedraggled and their robes in disarray. Before they even had the time to look around and fix their robes, a ferocious explosion shattered the air. Silvery light shimmered over the sect, then dissipated, a hole gaping bigger like a popping bubble in slow motion. Even as it opened, All-Heavens disciples in white and gold poured in. In white hemmed in black, the Starbound Sect cultivators rushed to meet them. From a distance, it would be impossible to discern the two forces, as if the sect attacked itself!

Hui stared. It hasnt been a month, has it? I thought it would take a month for Gui Delun to return to his sect, let alone to return, gather forces, and come back here. What happened? nove(l)bi(n.)com

Treacherous All-Heavens Sect! You dare? Sect Master Lan roared, charging into battle. He swung at the encroaching disciples, sword glowing with blinding light.

Gui Delun flashed in front of him. He deflected the Sect Masters sword with the back of his hand, allowing the All-Heavens disciples to continue to flow in. Starbound disciples raced up to meet them, and the two forces clashed with a thunderous sound.

Is it against the rules to call upon our allies teleportation portals to demolish a demonic sect? Gui Delun replied coldly.

Youwhich was it? Azure Fang? Silk Heart? Sect Master Lan snarled.

Gui Delun sighed. Naturally, all righteous sects stand allied against a treacherous demonic sect in their midst!

Sect Master Lans eyes widened. After a second, he snarled. Traitors! All of them, traitors!

Huis eyes widened as well. The other sects couldnt refuse All-Heavens Sect to this extent? Master was right. I couldnt possibly stand up to a force like this alone!

A demonic sect dares call righteous sects traitors? You betrayed us first, when you turned away from the path of righteousness and became a demonic sect! Gui Delun shook his head and tutted.

Became a demonicexplain yourself, Gui Delun!

Xiao Hui, Li Xiang said, looking at him.

Hui nodded. He drew his own sword and stepped onto it, and Li Xiang shot into battle. A second later, Hui followed behind Li Xiang, flicking talismans into his hands. He threw them out ahead of Li Xiang, carving an opening in the All-Heavens line that she charged into. Her sword flashed left and right. All-Heavens disciples blood flew all around her, a bloody tempest that never stained her robes. Magic hurtled toward her, but she parried it with a sword strike.

Standing slightly behind her, Hui provided support. Whenever someone struck at her from an unexpected angle, a barrier talisman appeared to block their blow. When one of the All-Heavens cultivators built up momentum, a sudden blast of fire or wind disrupted them. In return, Li Xaing made a front line, cutting a furious swathe into the All-Heavens disciples.

A whistling sound caught Huis ear. He turned in time to see a sword hurtling at him, inches from his face. His hand flickered, and a thick, two-dimensional wall-like barrier sprung up between him and the sword. The sword darted around the barrier and slashed out at Hui. Huis blood spurted. He staggered back, clutching his stomach, while blood seeped into his robes.

The All-Heavens disciple smirked and charged, reaching out to summon their sword back into their hand even as he drew his arm back to launch the finishing blow. Overestimated yourself.

Fire seared up from the All-Heavens disciples feet. He staggered back, startled, into a solid, cold body. A hand snaked around his shoulders, and black claws raked open his throat, injecting a poison so virulent that it rotted his flesh before he could bleed. He clawed at his throat, struggling to breathe. Before he could overcome Jin Xians claws, she hauled back and bit into his head. Brains and blood slithered down his face. He screamed soundlessly as Jin Xian devoured him.

Hui straightened up, quickly swapping to his plant mode to heal his shallow stomach wound. Elder Sister were fighting this whole war to prove we arent demonic, so, er, could you tone it down

Jin Xian met Huis eyes and took another bite, slurping the cultivators brains.

You know what, er, you do you, Hui said, turning away.

In the few moments hed had to fight the All-Heavens cultivator, Li Xiang had burst ahead. She blazed through the All-Heavens disciples, a bolt of silver and blood red. As the Starbound Sect disciples saw her, they rallied to her side, especially the Starbound Peak sword cultivators. In the space of a few breaths, Li Xiang took control of the Starbound Peak cultivators and led the charge toward the All-Heavens disciples.

Hui leaned forward on his sword, chasing after Li Xiang and the Starbound Peak disciples. Jin Xian ran alongside him, wreaking havoc amongst stray All-Heavens disciples as they passed. Hui threw out the lotus beast, releasing the death qi seal as he did so. Green flesh formed around the seed, and she charged into battle, wading madly through All-Heavens disciples. All-Heavens disciples threw magical attacks at her. Careless of her own wounds, she fought back, black eyes wide, teeth bared. One searing fire attack burned her body to bits, but a second later, a new body formed around her seed, and she fought on.

As Bai Jingwen wrought death all around, Hui reached out to Jin Xian. Find Xixing and Sis Mei. Make sure theyre safe!
