Chapter 84: The Secret Palace Wing

Ever since Feng Ying arrived at Invincible Sect, the system started acting up 80% of the time. What did it mean when it told Feng Ying to defend the sect by himself? If he had the capabilities, would he have had to set up the Soul Confundus Array earlier?

He could handle one or two Soul Formations, but asking him to defend against fifteen Soul Formations was asking him to court death!

No way!

Who was he to attempt to defend the sect by himself anyway? Shen Ying, the Sect Master, was sleeping while enemies attempted to invade her sect. He was here to take revenge, yet he was expected to defend her sect on her behalf? What kind of logic was that? He refused to take on this mission! Refuse! He had to wake Shen Ying up no matter what.

He was just about to ignore the invaders and barge into the Palace Wing to wake Shen Ying up, but it was too late. A loud sound from something collapsing came from the bottom of the hill. In the next moment, Yu Hai Heng and all the other Soul Formation cultivators appeared on the public square in front of Ying Feng.

“The Master of the Soul Chasing Tower is capable indeed,” Yu Hai Heng mocked. “You’re just a Nascent Soul, yet you’re able to set up a Soul Confundus Array. It’s a pity that the array could only hold us back for a while and not forever. You can’t escape death after all.”

“Yu Hai Heng!” Yu Hong glared at him and said, “You dared to invade our Invincible Sect. Aren’t you afraid that our Master would beat you up again?”

“Hahaha…” he suddenly burst into laughter. “You all really think I’m that hopeless.”

He calmly fiddled around with the Sword Dao in his hands and said, “That demon Yi Qing has already been lured away with an invitation to a duel that I’ve asked someone to send earlier. Even that man, Lonemoon, has been locked away with the others in the Immortal Ascension Pagoda. Of course, the fact that we’re here shows that we’ve done ample preparation.”

Feng Ying’s face drained of color. He turned toward the group of people in shock. Shen Ying isn’t really gone, right? Is that why the girls refused to let him go and call her?

“Who says my Sect Master isn’t here!” Yu Hong had a shocked expression as well. Elder Yi Qing was the one who was invited to the duel, what does that have to do with the Sect Master?

“Hmph, you don’t have to act unafraid,” Yu Hai Heng patiently replied. He waved toward the people behind him and said, “She’s not here now, and even when she finds out about this next time, she will be trapped in the pagoda like the rest if she dares to seek revenge from the Yu Family. All of you can forget about escaping today!”

As soon as he finished speaking, ten of the Soul Formation cultivators floated into the sky. All kinds of sorcery shot toward the ground.

“Retreat!” Feng Ying shouted as he set up a defense array. Gritting his teeth, he rushed forward and tackled seven to eight Soul Formation cultivators. Yu Hong and Si Yu rushed forward behind him.

There were too many enemies. Each of the girls handled one Nascent Soul cultivator, yet they still didn’t gain any advantage. A few of the Foundation Establishment disciples were swept aside by the enemies. Only Yu Hong and Si Yu managed to put up a fight.

Feng Ying allowed the system to exert its full potential and forcefully increased his cultivation level to the late stage of Soul Formation. The system activated all the support it could offer, yet it was only just enough to delay seven to eight cultivators – and Feng Ying still had to support Yu Hong and Si Yu. He could not hang on for much longer.

Indeed, after about 30 seconds, one of the cultivators summoned a rain of swords which filled the entire sky. The swords flew down toward Feng Ying and the girls. Feng Ying had no choice but to retreat. As he ran toward the other girls, he turned to shout at Yu Hong and Si Yu, “Go back into the array!”

Unfortunately , it was too late. The two girls could not run back to the array in time. Si Yu had undergone the Golden Core Lightning Tribulation, so this rain of swords were nothing to her. With a sweep of her fist, she shielded body from the swords. Yu Hong, on the other hand, did not have it so easy. The spirit swords cut her body one after another. Blood began to flow out of the wounds.

“Senior Sister!” Thankfully, Si Yu reacted quickly. She turned and ran to Yu Hong’s side, shielding her from several swords.

Yu Hai Heng, who had been watching from the side, frowned. His expression became more focused as he suddenly conjured up white wind blades with both hands and threw them toward the two girls. There were far more wind blades than there were spirit swords in the rain of swords.

“Be careful!” Feng Ying threw his sword toward the girls. The sword flew toward them and circled them a few times, successfully deflecting the wind blades.

“You’ve recovered your cultivation!” Yu Hong stared at Yu Hai Heng in disbelief. His cultivation was destroyed by Sect Master the other day. How could it be!

“That’s right,” Yu Hai Heng smiled smugly. “The ancestors of the Yu Family are watching over me. Recovering my cultivation is such a small matter, how difficult could it be? You’d do well to surrender, I might still be willing to leave your corpses whole.”

“Dream on!” Yu Hong tightened her grip on her sword. People from the Invincible Sect would only die in battle – they would never surrender!

“Hmph, you don’t know your own strength,” Yu Hai Heng went all out and increased his intensity in battle. He adopted a different strategy from the other Soul Formation cultivators – he continuously shot wind blades at Si Yu and Yu Hong, as if he was determined to kill them.

Feng Ying was both angry and anxious. Not only did he have to tackle the Soul Formation cultivators, he also had to protect the younger ones behind him. He couldn’t afford to protect Si Yu and Yu Hong as well.

“System, help me out! Do I still have any stimulation potential? I can’t carry on like this.”

[Ding! Potential stimulation countdown: 5 minutes!]

Flips table!

(╯‵□′)╯(┻━┻

Why is there still a countdown at such a critical time like this? Did this countdown include the time he took to retreat earlier? That’s not fair!

The wind blades were just about to hit the two girls. Si Yu had no choice but to try to defend against them. She deflected the wind blades with her fists, but she could not deflect all of them. Even a body that has endured through the Lightning Tribulation could not stand against wind blades which were formed with condensed Spirit Qi. Some of the wind blades cut her body.

Yu Hai Heng laughed maniacally as if he was playing a game. Suddenly, he summoned a wind blade as tall as himself and threw it toward the two girls. Si Yu quickly recovered from her shock and summoned all the Spirit Qi in her body, punching it out toward the wind blade. However, the Spirit Qi only managed to slightly change the blade’s trajectory. The two girls had no choice but to shun toward the left.

The wind blade headed straight for the palace. The color drained from Si Yu’s face. She immediately chased after the wind blade and threw another punch toward the wind blade. The wind blade changed its trajectory enough to miss the palace and hit the doorpost in front of the main hall instead.

“Eh?” Yu Hai Heng was just about to summon another wind blade when he realised something. He frowned and scanned the people surrounding him. Then, he smiled deviously, “You’re all gathered around the front hall and avoiding the Palace Wing on the left. Are you hiding something important in there?”

When everybody’s faces went pale, Yu Hai Heng knew that he had guessed correctly. Before anyone could respond, he twisted his palm. He summoned a gigantic wind blade that made the previous wind blades look like toys. The gigantic wind blade, together with all the smaller wind blades, flew toward the Palace Wing.

“No!” The nine sisters shouted in unison.

It was too late. In a moment, all the grass and plants uprooted. The beautiful Palace Wing flew up together with the earth on which it had stood. The palace wing split right down the middle, making a huge roar that caused the dust to fly from the ground and fill the air.

Yu Hai Heng thought that the other disciples of Invincible Sect were hiding inside, but he discovered that there was no one inside the Palace Wing. Once again, he summoned a few more wind blades and said, “I want to see what exactly you’re hiding in this Palace Wing. I’ll let you guys…”

“Me.” Before he could finish, a low voice sounded out from behind him.

The wind and rain approached…
