There was a total of ten people in his team and the highest cultivation base among them only reached that of the Jade Mystic level!
Each one of them was lively and delicate, their gazes were crystal clear and unjaded.
Any Supreme cultivator from their target could easily wipe them out en mass with a single slap…
Although Guo Nuanyang was confident that he could kill this group of people and ensure that he missed no one out, he was stuck with having to fight alongside these ‘sidekicks’ whose cultivation bases were practically insignificant and to look after their safety during the chaos.
Easy? Even a deity could not do this!
Faced with the said dilemma, Guo Nuanyang was struck with a blistering headache.
The ten disciples had their eyes trained on Guo Nuanyang nervously. Everyone understood what was being stated to them. This battle was nothing to their Senior Uncle Guo who had come to the Saint level - to say that it was a piece of cake to him was an understatement. In spite of it, this was a challenge of life and death to all of them; there was a chance that they would all die.
“This fight is your first fight, a fight that you must face. It’s the beginning of your journey of conquest.”
Guo Nuanyang’s tone was devoid of emotion.
“I’m certain that there will be some who will die in this battle. I’m not sure who it’ll be among you all, but those left alive must get used to it.”
“You must get used to the fact - people around you will keep dying.”
“This is the martial world. This is your first fight, it’s also the first lesson where you will truly step on the line between life and death.”
All ten children held their breath at that moment, not letting out a sound.
“The aim of this battle is to wipe out the enemy. We have the advantage in this ambush where the enemy is not prepared. When we charge in later, kill whoever you see. Being merciful to the enemy means being cruel to your own people!”
Guo Nuanyang’s tone was distant.
“I’ll watch over all of you and try my best to take care of you. But one can only do so much. If I can’t be there in time… I hope that you understand the following words.”
“Life and death are destined, heaven has decided your fate.”
A strange atmosphere upon the children upon hearing what he had said.
Yun Xiuxin gripped her sword tightly, feeling sweat drench her palm. She repeatedly told herself that she must not panic or be afraid, chanting the fact that they had an advantage as the enemy was not prepared, but she could not help the nerves and terror that enveloped her.
While her mind was still in pandemonium, she heard Senior Uncle Guo announced faintly, “Let’s go! Attack!”
Guo Nuanyang’s tall form transformed into a ghoulish silhouette as he drifted away in the night, arriving at the mansion’s gate instantly.
“Who is it? Stop right there!” Someone could be heard shouting sternly.
Then, a loud booming noise cracked the silence of the night.
Boom!
An earth-shattering wave of mystical Qi lashed out like an enraged dragon, crushing the mansion’s entrance and half of its wall in a single blow. Many people could be seen crying out in agony with flailing limbs as they were sent soaring into the night sky.
Still floating in midair, many of them exploded, staining the night sky crimson immediately.
At least a dozen people from the mansion were killed in Guo Nuanyang’s ambush.
“Attack!”
Leading the charge, Guo Nuanyang bolted into the house and began his massacre. His sword light whipped around like a hissing snake. Before the seven or eight people who had rushed out had met him, blood had shot out from their throats shortly before they collapsed to the floor.
The rapid incidents rendered the ten children in a stupor.
Yun Xiuxin was the first to break out of the trance as she forced herself to keep calm and took a deep breath, loudly declaring, “Charge forth!”
Wielding her sword, she was the first to sprint over as she knew that it was currently the safest to stick with Senior Uncle Guo; if she were to be separated from him, her life would be at stake.
Following Yun Xiuxin’s holler, nine children stormed into the house simultaneously.
In the blink of an eye, the mansion was lit with murderous intent. People stampeded through the chaos, their faces furious when illuminated by the light.
Watching the enemy’s fall, Yun Xiuxin dared not let her guard down. Her small form flashed as her long sword landed on a middle-aged man’s neck. As the blade moved, blood gushed generously. Nevertheless, Yun Xiuxin, who had secured her attack, paled immensely. Braving herself to continue, she pulled her sword away to stab into another person’s waist.
Encountering several enemies and succeeding in her attacks, Yun Xiuxin was still fully on guard. She knew that none of the enemies she had met was weaker than her. They had perhaps succumbed to her sword because their abilities were reduced subsequent to Guo Nuanyang’s powerful ambush or maybe they were not in the right frame of mind due to the disastrous surroundings. If she wanted to stay safe, she had to keep close to Guo Nuanyang!
Barreling her way forward, a weapon seemed to have collided with the sword Yun Xiuxin was gripping with a buzz. The momentum wounded her immediately, causing the part between her thumb and index finger to bleed and her body to turn numb like a pulse of electricity had flowed through her.
Someone cussed loudly, “Where did all these rascals come from?”
Before his voice echoed, an icy glint assailed them like a lightning strike, flashing brightly, before Guo Nuanuang’s voice followed.
“Plough in!”
Blood was gurgling out from more than ten people’s throats here as they collapsed in a strange position. The blood that gushed out copiously seemed to have merged into a stream, causing the situation to look incredibly hazardous. In fact, the enemies nearby were already fatally injured if they were not yet dead; they could no longer fight, so the area was temporarily a safe zone.
Guo Nuanyang did not stop, Picking himself up and speeding through several hundred feet of the mansion, his palms landed harshly on the thick wooden doors like he was planning to tear apart mountains.
Boom!
The doors crumbled into fine powder instantly, becoming one with the dust.
As the doors were destroyed, several rays of glowing light shot out from the room. It was also the delicate moment where the attacker had just expended his strength upon succeeding in his assault. The enemy’s counterattack was timely.
If it had been against someone with a weaker capability, the enemy could at least gain some form of a buffer, even if the counterattack had missed. Guo Nuanyang was far more skilled, however, and had moved quickly to avoid the onslaught with a scoff while his sword swished into the room thunderously. Bodies fell one after another with blood spilling everywhere his sword passed.
There wasn’t a single man left alive in the room with a snap of his fingers.
Guo Nuanyang heaved a soft sigh of relief. The Honor level expert was already killed, as were the two cultivators above the Supreme level. It meant that a majority of the enemy’s combat force, according to the information given, was lost upon his round of assault and the risk was largely reduced as the remaining men were no threat at all.
Nevertheless, the remaining enemies were still intimidating opponents to the children. He still had to keep a close watch and keep his guard high.
Noting these in his mind, Guo Nuanyang had also cursed Shi Wuchen, the culprit of this toughening idea, in and out.
What an awful idea he had given!
