Chapter 396: Strongfist Brothers

To one side, Tujiu was toppled, falling to the ground with the eldest of the Strongfist Brothers clutching his shattered shin. To the other, the youngest brother thudded to the ground with a fist sized hole in his abdomen, spilling blood onto the dirt. A moment later, a curvy woman in tight black leather landed on the ground as light as a feather. Her right arm was covered in blood nearly up to her elbow and she laughed at the other two brothers, her voice sounding like a child bragging about winning a game, I made the bigger wound, that means were in the lead!

With a loud growl, the oldest brother charged towards Songji. She dashed backwards, her laughter sounding like the tittering of a bird even though her face was as cold as ice. Right before his fist reached her, it suddenly grew dark and she hopped into the shadow of one of the Hoplites like it was an open hole in the ground. Tujiu had been battling among them so she didnt have to go far. The middle brother was checking on the youngest brother and before they could realize what was going on Songjis head poked up out of the ground and she leapt out of Tujius shadow. She hoisted him up onto her shoulders like he was a sack of rice and started running. The Jade Hordes battle line was still between her and the others in the center, but surprisingly she didnt run away from the battle but perpendicular to it, heading towards the city wall.

She was about to reach the wall and preparing for a leap when she heard Baozhais yell, Look out! Wu Chang disappeared!

Songji reacted quickly, throwing Tujiu towards her right and away from the Jade Horde to her left. She crossed her arms in front of her chest, and not a moment too soon as she was struck by a violent gust of wind. Like thousands of tiny blades, she felt her clothing and the skin of her body getting slashed apart. She was forced backwards a few hundred feet, skidding to a stop with the front of her body looking as if it had been flayed. Her face and upper body had been shielded from the damage by her crossed arms, so she managed to retain some of her modesty, not that anyone but a real sicko would enjoy the view of her bloody and mangled body.

Haha, not bad, Kid. Im always looking for more talent. Give up now and Ill let you join me. You dont want me to kill all your friends do you?

To prove his point, Wu Chang hopped off of his large fan and it swept up into his hands. He gave it a short swing and a raging torrent of wind blasted forth from him. A vertical column of wind appeared in front of him, stretching from the ground to the sky, and rushed towards Jiyao. He slashed it three times before it reached him and then tried to dash away, but the column of wind moved too quickly. It caught up to him and pulled him in, swinging him around and around. He tumbled through the sky and the black saber slid from his grip.

Then Wu Chang lifted the fan over his head and spun it in a circle before sweeping it downwards. A moment later, a roiling volume of air fell down upon the others. Thousands of tiny wind vortexes converged into a small area and smashed down upon them like a waterfall of air pressure. Songjis wounds tore back open, blood spraying the ground. Tujiu wasnt much better, he thrust his spear into the sky and a spike of flame met the falling column. It burned away hundreds of the tiny vortexes, but there were just too many of them and his flame lance disappeared. Baozhai just crossed her arms and held her ground, while Juzui stabbed his sword into the ground and dropped down to one knee. The downpour of wind persisted for nearly a quarter minute before finally fading away, leaving the group of four looking extremely ragged.

Three of them were laying on the ground, covered in small wounds just like Songji was earlier. They were each bleeding profusely, though as soon as the attack ended the sun brightened again and the gentle rain started to fall once more. Juzui pulled himself back up to his knees and closed his eyes, concentrating. Only Baozhai was still standing and her clothing was torn up, but there wasnt a speck of blood on her. Instead, she screeched at Wu Chang and dashed towards him. Just like Jiyao, she started hopping on the empty air, leaping towards their foe.

Die! Die! Die!
