Walker Of The Worlds

Chapter 947: A Harsh Battle – I

"How did they find us this quickly?" A Long Cloud sect disciple questioned.

~DENG~

Another disciple shot a arrow that clashed with the shield of a Gu Legion member that was about to attack his companion.

"Focus on the fight! We'll leave reasoning to the elders!" The Long Cloud disciple with the bow shouted.

"DAMMIT!" The first disciple crushed the leg of the Gu legion member that had stumbled. "This was supposed to be a normal mission. We were simply supposed to protect the supplies being transported."

Some distance away from them, a couple of elders of the Long Cloud sect were fighting as well.

"Cloud python Whip!" The elder chanted as a python made out of clouds whittled at the barrier of a Gu clan member.

Both of them seemed to be in the Nascent soul realm and their strengths were almost equal.

"The Long Cloud alliance will soon know its place. You have had too much fun in the past few months, humph!" the Gu Legion member said as he threw out small knives that passed through the barrier as if it didn't exist.

The knives split apart like dandelions and multiplied. The Long cloud sect elder's eyes went wide as he moved the cloud whip around at a blinding speed.

~Shua~ Shua~ shua~

But as a surprise to him, the small knives passed through his Qi skill, making him realize that they were illusory.

"ARGH!" The elder cried in pain as a knife struck his leg. 

Blood spilled from the man's calf where the knife had stuck. He had managed to dodge or block most of the knives, but this one had managed to slip through.

"You're done. It's best you submit to our lord Gu Yao. Then perhaps you might be spared and will get to see the glory of the Gu Legion in the future soon enough." The Gu legion member said proudly.

It was evident that there was no fear in his eyes despite the fierce battle that was underway. There were tens of people dying from both the sides, and yet no one could pay much attention due to being engrossed in the battle.

About half a kilometer from this place, another group of disciples was fighting. They were fighting in a different manner than the others and seemed to be cooperating properly and not fighting individually.

"Move in the square pattern!" the leading disciple ordered.

He was at the peak of the core condensation realm while the other disciples with him were all at the core condensation realm as well. But the ones they were fighting were stronger than them.

Going against them were four Gu legion members, with one of them being at the Infant Soul stage of the Nascent soul realm while the rest were at the core condensation realm. Normally such a line up would mean the death of all those with the weaker cultivation base.

But this time, the Long Cloud disciples seemed to be having the upper hand.

The disciples all executed a few hand seals as formations lit up around them.

~shua~ 

"NO!!!!" The nascent soul realm Gu Legion member shouted in an unwilling tone.

"Breakthrough the restriction and pull the elder out!" the core condensation members yelled as they tried to attack the barrier.

But their effort was for naught as the formation array showed its full power and spirit Qi stirred like a grinder.

~DENG~ DENG~ DENG~

Spirit Qi turned into sharp blades like sabers and sword before cutting apart the Nascent soul realm Gu Legion member into chunks of meat.

"GET THE REST OF THEM TOO!" Having killed the strongest foe, the Long Cloud disciples were now free to kill the rest.

One of the disciples threw a javelin that skewered through the neck of a Gu Legion member, while another one directly used his fists to break the neck of another. But during this time, a mishap happened and one of the female disciples made a mistake.

"Ming Ming! NO! GET BACK!" The leader shouted, but it was too late.

"You all won't get out alive either! AHAHAHA!" A Gu legion member shouted madly as he tightly hugged the Female Long Cloud disciple even though he was currently being stabbed by her sword.

"DETONATE!" The man shouted as a strong spirit Qi wave emanated from his body before being pulled back.

~BOOM~

His core suddenly ignited and released a power that he would have been incapable of doing on his own.

~SPLAT~

The female disciple didn't even get to say a few last words before she was blowing to bits and her body parts were all thrown across the forest. The disciples that tried to save her were not safe either, with two of them losing a limb and being thrown away.

The leading disciple gritted his teeth as he saw the scene of slaughter.

"Gu Legion! I'll eradicate every last one of you!" The disciple swore as embers of rage sparked in his eyes.

This was but just one of the tragedies of the battle that were witnessed by the many members here today. And it possibly won't be the last one either. The battle had already been going for over six hours now and even the stronger disciples with larger spirit Qi reserves were getting tired.

The elders that were battling other Nascent soul realm Gu Legion members were exhausted as well and had used up a significant amount of their spirit Qi. They were currently outnumbered by the Gu Legion members, and they didn't know how long they could last.

"Heavens! Just how many of them are coming now? Were they already pinning to attack us from the start?" One of the elders couldn't help but question.

"No matter what, we have to hold on. We can't let the sacrifices of our disciples go to waste like this." The elder who seemed to be the strongest of them all spoke.

But even he was only at the Child Soul stage of the nascent soul realm.

"AHAHAHA! This is all futile effort," A hoarse laughter was heard from the distance as a Dao Shell realm spirit Qi wave was felt.
