Chapter 265: Ending the Yi Yang Group

Sage followed the crowd and watched these events playing out from only a dozen yards back. The crowd gathered outside the front door and looked into the building, watching Zhu Jiao destroy the front hall. When she gave the order they all rushed inwards. Seeing that she wasnt moving Sage found himself standing in the corner of the front hall before he realized why. The crowd had carried him along with them and hed initially planned on moving to loot the manor. Something had stopped him, and his gaze landed upon Zhu Jiao. She crossed her arms and took a wide stance, then she turned her head back and laughed at the Yi Yang Group members she could sense hiding in the next room.

The man with the heavily armored arms was standing at the ready, and he had to deflect another two volleys of hidden weapons before the Yi Yang Group stopped making the attempts. The crowd rushed forward ahead of Zhu Jiao and her men. The sneak attacks and traps theyd prepared to welcome her with were used on common mercenaries or ruined by others smashing through them. When Zhu Jiao saw people rush forward to take the hits for her, she tried to speed up to put herself back in the front. Her own men surrounded her and held her back. It was already enough that shed led the first charge, and they were not happy with how much risk she was putting herself in.

A few sacrificed their lives to clear the path for the many. Before long, they had reached the innermost room of the manor and a single large fellow was standing there. When he waved his arm a black mist rolled out like a wave. It moved slowly, stretching across the room towards the large crowd who moved to surround him. Then the man snapped his fingers and part of the wave seemed to explode. The black mist disappeared in perfect vertical slice. A half dozen people in the crowd cried out with pain, falling to the ground as various limbs were severed. The man snapped his fingers again, and the mist disappeared again, like it was perfectly cut by a passing beam of energy. That slice passed through another couple people, one of them being split vertically from head to stern. Another lost their leg at mid-calf and the fingers from one hand.

Come back! Retreat! Hes too strong for you!

Zhu Jiao yelled at the crowd of cultivators that were shielding her, but they didnt listen. Rushing forward and using their numbers to assault the lone defender. They had all noticed the man was standing in front of a curtained wall. The curtain had not been pulled back into place properly and they could see the bottom corner of a door.

Zhu Jiao charged towards Ji Meng, but a lone figure dashed in front of her, gliding through the air and extending the distance between them. Sage was not recognized by his own fiancee given that his appearance was different than when they met. Not just his appearance, but even his aura and energy were changed by his metamorphosis and altered Human Seal. With Foresight he dashed to the front and drew Ji Mengs attacks. He put himself in line with Zhu Jiao and about 20 yards ahead of her. When the mist rolled out, Ji Meng was forced to send an attack at Sage to slow him down. Zhu Jiao couldnt see the attack coming because Sage was blocking her vision of the mist.

Sage jumped aside and Zhu Jiao only saw the mist part in front of her. She thought it was the end, since the man blocking her vision had now given her no time to react. Instead, she was amazed when nothing touched her and she could keep rushing forward. Sage, on the other hand, had to leap to the sides a few more times. Each motion brought him in front of one of Zhu Jiaos men, and he forced Ji Meng to fire more mist blades prematurely. He darted back and forth, using his Falling Leaf Steps and Foresight to trigger the attacks before the others were in range. They advanced rapidly, avoiding wave after wave of Yin Cutting Mist.

The blades only extend three zhang from the mist!

Sage shouted out a warning, converting the distance into the native measurement term of a zhang, which was about ten and a half feet. The others had roughly figured it out, but with his confirmation they moved confidently towards Ji Meng. Too bad Ji Meng didnt want to cooperate. He waved his arm to send out a semi-circle of mist. Some of the men darted to the side to get around it, and another leapt into the air. The mist was only about chest high and simple enough to leap over. Then Ji Meng stomped his foot and the black mist blasted out in a full hemisphere. He snapped his fingers and the two men that had ran to the sides got some of their limbs sliced off. Zhu Jiao cried out as the man whod leapt into the air was bisected. His movement technique let him change directions in mid-air, but only once. He dodged the first blade coming his way only to be killed by the second.

Zhu Jiao performed a quick pirouette, sidestepping one blade, and then spinning out of the way of a second. She stomped hard onto the ground with one leg and her body was catapulted forward. Passing through the third wave of mist that Ji Meng had just summoned. Shed closed with the man before he could snap his fingers. She held her hand flat and stabbed her arm forward. The tips of her fingers stabbed into Ji Mengs chest, and her hand disappeared inside. There was the loud sound of bones cracking and Zhu Jiao pulled her hand out, clenching a bloody heart between her fingers.
