Chapter 708: Where did you come from?
"Alliance?" The Martial Might Sect disciple repeated before suddenly breaking out in laughter.
Mei Yao's face twisted when he heard this before he forced himself to calm down and say, "That's right, an alliance. This was something that was established in front of many different sects, if they were to find out…"
The Martial Might Sect disciple cut him off by saying, "That's if they find out. What would happen if you disappeared?"
Mei Yao's face twisted once more when he heard this.
He already knew what the situation was, but he had been trying to stall for as long as possible so that his fellow disciples would be able to heal themselves.
But it seemed like the other side wasn't willing to give them that time.
The other side had already planned out everything, including how to silence them by making them disappear.
So there was only one thing that Mei Yao could do now…
The Martial Might Sect disciple continued by saying, "Do you think that alliances are actually worth anything? They are just verbal promises made between two sides that can be broken at a whim. They aren't worth a single thing."
The way that he said this, it was as if he believed himself to be superior to Mei Yao and the Clear Lake Sect group.
It was as if he had let this situation get to his head.
So he was actually saying much more than he should have.
What he didn't know was that Mei Yao had a communication talisman that he had been secretly using the entire time.
While he wouldn't be able to do anything to the ones that were in front of him, he could only hope that his sect would be able to avenge them after they died. At the very least, they knew not to trust the Martial Might Sect in the future since that would be a path of destruction.
"Your Clear Lake Sect is…"
In the middle of his rant, the Martial Might Sect disciple suddenly stopped talking as if he had been interrupted by something.
With an awkward look on his face, he rubbed the back of his head.
Taking a moment to gather himself, the Martial Might Sect disciple said, "I've been rambling on for a bit, but let's end it here."
With that, the other Martial Might Sect disciples came forward with their weapons raised.
Mei Yao had an ugly look on his face again, but there was also a trace of persistence in his eyes.
It wasn't as if he was planning on giving up without at least putting up some kind of fight.
The other disciples from the Clear Lake Sect were thinking the same.
The rant that the Martial Might Sect disciple had given had provided them with enough time to recover, so they were at least able to put up some kind of resistance.
Now it was all about what they would do with the power that they had regained…
The Clear Lake Sect disciples looked at each other and seemed to come to an understanding. The only one that wasn't included in this understanding was Mei Yao who was still glaring at the Martial Might Sect disciples.
Then they suddenly made their move.
Before Mei Yao could react, his fellow disciples suddenly pulled him back behind them before pushing him away.
Mei Yao was shocked to see this, but he didn't get to say anything as they said…
"Senior Brother Mei, please run!"
"You alone have to survive so you get revenge for us."
"We'll cover your escape, so please don't hesitate to step over dead bodies."
Mei Yao was shocked when he saw this, but before he could say anything…
The Clear Lake Sect disciples were already charging at the Martial Might Sect disciples.
It seemed that they had no fear for their own lives, which made them a more terrifying opponent. Seeing their willingness to die, the Martial Might Sect disciples didn't face them head on and sent out attacks to keep them at bay.
After all, an opponent that had nothing to lose was the most dangerous.
They would be the ones that would be willing to sacrifice it all to take you down.
And of course, the Martial Might Sect disciples didn't want to die.
So even if it would take a bit more time and there would be more chances given to the Clear Lake Sect disciples, they would take it slow and be careful.
Mei Yao bit his lip when he saw this, but he didn't stay.
It wasn't that he was afraid for his life, it was just that he couldn't bear to see the conviction that his fellow disciples had gone to waste.
Especially when he could see the way that they looked at him as they fell to these attacks.
After a while, there was only Mei Yao and a few more disciples that had gone to guard him that were left. The ones that had gone on a suicidal charge had all been taken out by the attacks of the Martial Might Sect.
It seemed that any moment, they too would fall under the hands of the Martial Might Sect.
After all, how could Senior Brother Tian allow any survivors?
He had made sure to send people around and have them hide so that they would be able to take down the ones from the Clear Lake Sect once they thought that they were safe.
That was who Mei Yao's group encountered after escaping the first blockade.
Those were the ones that trapped Mei Yao's group as they were about to escape.
Seeing that everything was about to come to an end, Senior Brother Tian finally showed himself.
Mei Yao was shocked to see that it was Senior Brother Tian.
After all, it could be said that he had a good relationship with Senior Brother Tian…
"Senior Brother…No, Tian Fei, you son of a b*tch, how dare you do this to us?!"
Senior Brother Tian had a calm look on his face as he didn't rise to Mei Yao's provocation. He just calmly looked at Mei Yao and said, "It's the survival of the fittest, isn't it? You have something that we want, so naturally we'll take it from you. Not to mention, it wouldn't be good for our Martial Might Sect if you were to keep developing in the future.
You're a threat to us, so naturally we can't allow you to survive."
Mei Yao was even more shocked when he heard this since he never expected Senior Brother Tian to say something like this.
It seemed that the Martial Might Sect was filled with hypocrites.
They acted like the ally of justice, but they still did dirty things behind the scenes like this.
At the very least, the sect master of their Clear Lake Sect should have heard this.
Exposing the Martial Might Sect for his life, it seemed worth it.
Taking a deep breath, Mei Yao revealed a determined look and said, "Then I'll take you down with me!"
With that, he suddenly slashed out at Senior Brother Tian, sending out a blade of water at him.
Senior Brother Tian calmly raised his hand and flicked his finger, shattering that blade of water.
Mei Yao and the rest of the Clear Lake Sect disciples were shocked.
Even if Mei Yao wasn't in his peak state, that didn't mean that this blade of water was weak. It was an attack that contained all of Mei Yao's remaining power, it was an attack that could even threaten those in the High Foundation Realm.
Yet Senior Brother Tian had deflected it that easily.
Just how strong was Senior Brother Tian?
Mei Yao revealed a bitter smile before saying, "You have all of this strength and you still resort to tricks like this. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
For once, Senior Brother Tian allowed himself to reveal a smile as he said, "Power alone isn't enough, one needs to have intelligence as well. You may call them tricks, but I like to call them strategies."
Mei Yao spat out in front of him as he said, "It doesn't matter what you call them as long as they are shameless and you know it."
Senior Brother Tian shook his head with a sigh before saying, "It seems that I've wasted my breath. Finish them."
But before any of the Martial Might Sect disciples could move, there was a large explosion that suddenly happened.
All of them were shocked to hear this before turning in the direction of that explosion.
It was a random tree that had suddenly exploded and collapsed.
None of them realized why that tree had suddenly exploded, but they immediately recognized that it was a distraction.
The real attack was…
The Crimson Bear.
It suddenly started to expand and then…it also exploded.
It seemed that something had detonated the beast core inside of the Crimson Bear.
The beast core of a powerful spirit beast like this detonating, it was certainly not weak.
This caused a large explosion that caught several of the Martial Might Sect's disciples, causing serious injuries to them. There were even two Martial Might Sect disciples that died from the explosion.
The looks on their faces made it very clear that they never expected to die like this
When the explosion settled, Senior Brother Tian immediately looked for the source of this explosion.
It didn't take him long to find it, but a shocked look appeared on his face as he said…
"Where did you come from?"
