Chapter 395: Change in Tactics

The lance of fire passed between a half-dozen of the Vulture Geckos and the riders thought themselves safe. At least for an instant. They felt themselves pulled towards the flames and screams filled the air. The lances of flame didnt just swirl like a vortex, they also drew in everyone around them like inverse tornados, pulling everything into a spire of raging flame. With only a few thrusts of his lance, the six hundred cavalry were thrown into chaos, large lines of fire making out no-mans lands in the sky. A sudden obstacle course being erected in the air and with a violent fellow rocketing around the sky creating more of them.

Down below, Jiyao also intensified his assault. A third slash followed the first two, smashing the formation, battering their shields, and then striking them in the legs. The Jade Hordes armor covered from the knee down, but it wasnt as strong as their shields. A single hit caused a deep channel in the armor. The combination attacks consumed his energy quickly, but it also started to do real damage. He threw one cut to break the formation just above their heads, then another arced upwards, passing through the gap and falling down atop those in a further back position. Dozens of heads rolled while the others in the Jade Horde realized the danger and lifted their shields over their heads. Orders were yelled and the formation tightened into a turtle shell. The second row covering the heads of the first and the third lifting theirs straight up to make a roof. Jiyao repeated the tactic but his strike went low, cutting off a few dozen at the ankle by laying attacks in the same spot, piercing the leg armor and their legs with them. The debut release of this chapter happened at Ñøv€l-B1n.

The Jade Horde was slowed even more, tightening their lines with shields lowered down to the ground. The front row moved while in a crouch and presented an unbroken wall to their enemy. With the three walls of troops now presenting a turtle shell, Jiyao slowed his attack frequency, unable to break through anymore he was instead just damaging shields and forcing them to rotate out to fresh ones from the back.

The girl in black, Songji, called out to the two in action, Tujiu, Jiyao. Switch!

The oldest brother settled into a horse stance for a moment, bending at the knee till his thighs were parallel with the ground. His arms were thrust straight forward and his two brothers used them as launch pads. Hopping onto his shoulders and then dashing forward, they kicked off the backs of his hands and flipped through the air. The movement caught Tujius gaze and he spun around, whirling his spear towards the airborne pair. As he did, only then did he notice that the oldest and largest brother was there, exploding into motion only after Tujiu made his move. With his spear already in motion, he didnt have time to alter the course to take on the oldest brother that suddenly charged towards him. Kicking off the ground, his low stance turned into a low tackle, a big shoulder getting lowered and barreling into Tujius knees.

The path of the spear was thrown off by the sudden loss of his footing, but the wide swing was still turned into a precise strike with a whip of his arm. The blade of the spear stopped in mid-air and then darted forward like a bullet, the sharp point flew towards the throat of the middle brother. The two in the air locked hands and pulled on each other, the one being targeted was spun away, rotating around the other and then getting swung down at Tujiu like a weapon. Tujius lower legs were trapped and he was kicked in the chest by both feet of the incoming Strongfist Brother.

Crack!

Tujiu let out a loud scream when one of his legs snapped, cracked by the conflicting forces of the two brothers. Jiyao had disappeared in the deluge of devastating talisman, but there were still three others unaccounted for. The third Strongfist Brother, who hadnt yet made contact with Tujiu, leapt off his brother and glanced back at their other enemies. That was when his eyes widened, since he only saw two of them. The redhead girl and the small guy with the sword. Where was the other?

He didnt have time to finish his thought as he felt a presence behind him. Floating through the air, neither of his brothers were around for him to borrow their force. A coldness swept through his body and then he felt a sudden pressure and looked down. Pointed nails protruded from his midsection. Time seemed to slow down for him enough to count five, and he realized they were fingernails. They spread apart and the hand opened up, giving him a gory view of his punctured gut. Then the hand disappeared, pulling out of his back as he fell down to the ground.
