Chapter 36: Night Attack
Chapter 36: Night Attack
It was a dark and windy night.
Xiao Yichen was leading 400 righteous cultivators to rest in an ancient city.
Thirty righteous cultivators were patrolling in five teams. Each team was led by a golden core cultivator. In the north, a Golden Core Realm cultivator was leading four Core Formation Realm cultivators as they surveyed the area slowly.
They reached a dimly lit intersection, and as the five of them were on the verge of rounding the corner, a beam of light emanating from a sword suddenly darted in their direction. The expression of the golden core cultivator changed.
He was on the verge of thwarting the assault, albeit hampered by the overwhelming speed of the attack. He had barely manifested his spiritual qi when the beam of light swept past his body which then killed him in one strike.
The four Core Formation cultivators behind him were also sent flying several feet away by the force of the sword attack.
Not good, theres an enemy attac-. One of them exclaimed. However, before he could finish his words, a ray of black light slashed across his neck, killing him instantly.
The other three were also killed by three black shadows. A small team was killed just like that.
After the patrol team was killed, black shadows appeared one after another. There were 30 of them, and each of them was comparable to a golden core cultivator.
On the other side, a patrol team was also killed. However, the leader of this team reacted faster. Before he was killed, he shouted loudly, Stop!
Enemy attack!
Hearing this shout, the righteous cultivators who were resting were awakened.
Since they were discovered, the demons didnt hide anymore. They directly released their abilities and killed everyone they saw. Every single one of the thirty demon experts was at the Golden Core Realm.
Xiao Yichens group of righteous cultivators had more than 400 people, but only a hundred were in the golden core realm. The rest were all Core Formation cultivators.
Plus, it was the middle of the night and they were all in a relaxed state. The sudden attack of these 30 Golden Core Realm demon experts had caught them off guard.
In just the first wave of attack, more than 30 Core Formation cultivators were killed, four golden core cultivators were killed, and five were injured.
After arriving at the scene, Xiao Yichen went up to a tall platform to check on the situation. Very quickly, he noticed the demons along the way.
He shouted, Everyone, dont panic. There are only 30 of them. The Core Formation cultivators, retreat and the Golden core cultivators, go forward and fight them.
With someone commanding, the originally chaotic righteous cultivators quickly calmed down. Many Core Formation cultivators retreated, and the golden core cultivators went forward.
With the appearance of these Golden Core Realm experts, the 30 demonic sect experts were quickly halted.
Xiao Yichen, who was standing on a high ground, immediately shouted when he found that these demonic experts had been stopped
A mere thirty people dare to ambush my people? Everyone, gather your strength and kill them all.
Hearing Xiao Yichens words, the righteous Golden Core realm cultivators rushed toward the demonic Golden Core realm cultivators..
Then suddenly screams could be heard to where all the Core Formation cultivators retreated. Another group of Demonic Sect experts appeared who would have thought that there were more of them that infiltrated them.
The Golden Core realm Righteous cultivators were concentrating their forces to deal with the thirty Golden Core realm demons. No one would have thought that there was another group of demonic experts hiding behind the scenes.
The 30 Golden Core stage demonic experts that just appeared suddenly charged into the group of Righteous Dao cultivators. It was like 30 hungry wolves charging out of a flock of sheep.
In an instant, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Sensing the screams coming from behind, Xiao Yichen, who was standing high, turned around. He found that many Righteous cultivators were being slaughtered.
Seeing this, Xiao Yichen was furious. He took out his long spear and left the platform. He was ready to go back and help.
If this continued, the Core Formation Stage cultivators behind them would most likely all be killed by the 30 Golden Core Formation Stage cultivators.
As the leader of this group, he couldnt just stand there and do nothing. However, just as Xiao Yichen left the platform, a powerful force attacked him.
Xiao Yichen, who just rushed out, was forced back.
Who are you?
I am Ji Lie, the leader of the Demon Clan.
You are the Heavens Favorite of the human race, Xiao Yichen?
Yes, just in time. I love to kill Heavens Favorites. Give me your life. Ji Lie shouted. He waved his demonic sword and attacked Xiao Yichen.
Very quickly, the two sides engaged in a fierce battle.
Xiao Yichen, the leader of the group, was stopped by Ji Lie. The Core Formation cultivators behind him were killed one by one.
In front, almost 100 Righteous cultivators surrounded the 30 demons. It wasnt easy to kill them in a short period of time.
Xiao Yichen was restrained by Ji Lie. The situation was very unfavorable for the Righteous Faction.
After 15 minutes, the Righteous cultivators in front sensed that something was happening behind them. When they rushed over, more than half of the Righteous cultivators behind them were dead or injured.
Speaking of Xiao Yichen, after fighting with Ji Lie for more than 10 rounds, he realized that he couldnt defeat Ji Lie in his current state. Thus, he began to use his Fire.
Finding that Xiao Yichen started to get serious, Ji Lie smiled strangely and then turned to run away. At the same time, the 60 demons who ambushed them also retreated in two different directions.
Seeing that they were retreating, Xiao Yichen hesitated. In the end, he called for everyone to stop and let them go.
It was late at night and they couldnt see the situation clearly.
Although there were only 60 demonic sext experts and one Hall Master, they couldnt guarantee that they set a trap for them or not. Xiao Yichen didnt dare to let everyone chase after them, so he could only give up.
Originally, they wanted to fight back beautifully. In the end, they were ambushed before they could even fight back.
Previously, they thought that Ye Qingcheng suffered a loss in the fierce battle they were engaged in, but they werent much better either. In fact, they were even in a worse situation. This was undoubtedly a hard slap to Xiao Yichens face which made him very sullen.
