Chapter 145: Attack on the tribe!
Gradually, the sun set, painting the sky in the color of blood.
At this moment, two king realm experts were slowly approaching Yan Li's tribe while hiding their presence to their best capabilities.
They planned to launch a sneak attack to atleast injure Feng Xue before the actual fight.
Though it was impossible to fully mask their presence from another King Realm expert, However, If they attacked from a certain range, it could be possible.
Also, it wasn't like Feng Xue was actively looking for them to notice them while infiltrating.
Feng Xue rested inside Yan Li's small hut while waiting for Ashen to return, unaware of the approaching danger.
He said he will be back before dawn, what has he come here for?
What business would a prince of the empire have in the northern region?
He's always been difficult to understand.
Sometimes he acts like the kindest human being and sometimes he becomes the most ruthless and evil.
Did he really have a reason to kill those innocent disciples?
Just what could justify murdering them?
I should ask him when he returns!
While she was in the middle of her thoughts, she sensed a huge amount of fire qi and Wind qi appearing in the southern direction at a single point of origin.
It was as if someone was launching a fire path and wind path attack.
As soon as she noticed both pools of qi, she knew that this could only be an attack.
Covering Yan Li and his both siblings with her spiritual energy, She flew towards the ceiling before breaking it down with a swing of her hand and escaping to the sky.
As soon as she emerged from the house, her face illuminated red due to the huge amount of flames coming towards her.
It was as if a tornado made of fire was coming to engulf her.
The tornado was so big that even if she tried, she could not escape it along with the children.
Therefore, instead of running away, she decided to meet the attack head-on.
She extended her palm towards the tornado and gathered most of her flame qi on the tip of her palm.
Soon, a rotating motion in the qi was generated which then gave birth to her own tornado, however, this tornado was much more reddish and brighter in color.
The tornado fired out of her hand as if it was a bullet firing from its barrel.
As the tornado moved away from her palm, it gathered much more flames and grew bigger in size.
Soon the horizontal tornado of Feng Xue clashed with the vertical tornado of both the new king realm experts.
Boom!
Huge amounts of flames escaped from the tornadoes' clash, setting the nearby houses on fire.
However, Feng Xue and the children were safe for the time being.
On the other hand, the two king realm experts looked at the scene in awe.
"How did she manage to stop our tornado with just her alone? We combined both my fire qi and your wind qi in that attack. It should be impossible for her to defend against that with only herself!"
The dark orange-haired man said with disbelief and frustration.
His name was Dao Tie, a fire path cultivator and his partner was Ji Jun, a wind path cultivator.
Ji Jun nodded in agreement with Dao Tie's words: "You are right, Brother Dao Tie. If she was able to counter our combined attack, that could mean only one thing! She has a grasp of higher level arts than us, that could be the only reason that she was able to overpower us with her fire qi!"
"So that means she is from a prominent background if she was able to acquire such high-level art. If she was a rogue cultivator like us, she would've to do odd jobs like this to save enough to buy such a high-level art!" Dao Tie agreed with Ji Jun's reasoning as his caution and concern went up for this job.
"Yes brother, this means we can't be careless! We would both have to fight her at the same time to overpower her and look for a chance to finish her!" Ji Jun suggested.
"Sigh... I thought this would be an easy job with both of us, however, who would have thought that she would be a mistress of some mysterious power! When we finish this job, I'll ask for double the reward!" Dao Tie expressed his dejection with the situation.
At this moment, Ji Jun, wearing an excited expression, suggested: "Brother, This can still be an easy job!"
"Huh? How?" Dao Tie's interest was piqued.
Ji Jun pointed at the three children enveloped in Feng Xue's spiritual energy and said: "See brother, The children she is protecting, we can take them hostage! Also, this tribe in which she is staying, she must atleast care about these tribesmen. We can kill them to shake her mental state and if she tries to protect them, it would only make killing her easier! We are two and she is only one! We can fight her while attacking the other tribesmen! This strategy always works on the righteous fools!"
Dao Tie patted Ji Jun on the back and praised: "Excellent! With this plan, killing her would be much easier. It'd also increase our survival rate! Alright, you go and attack the tribesmen. Don't kill them too fast! It would be better if they cry for help, that would affect her conscience and she would likely go to help and we can take advantage of that moment!"
Ji Jun nodded in understanding and flew away towards the nearest tribesman.
Dao Tie on the other hand braced himself for a tough fight with his life on the line!
At this moment, Feng Xue's angry shout entered his ears: "Who are you? Why are you attacking this tribe?"
Dao Tie chuckled and asked: "What? Am I supposed to answer if you ask?"
"Aaaaarrrr! Help! Save me!" A tribesman shout resounded in the area, attracting Feng Xue's attention.
What she saw was chilling to the bone!
Ji Jun was slowly cutting off the tribesman's limbs as he screamed for help!
Feng Xue couldn't hold her anger and rushed at Ji Jun to attack!
"You Demons!" She shouted as she conjured fire around her palm.
As she moved away from Yan and the children, Dao Tie went after the children, noticing that Feng Xue had to return to protect the children.
