Chapter 709: Useless after all
There was no answer that came from the other side as more attacks rained down on the Martial Might Sect group.
It seemed like this enemy didn't plan on giving them any space at all to recover as they rained these attacks down on them.
It seemed like they wanted to suppress the Martial Might Sect completely.
During this time, there was space created for the Clear Lake Sect.
They found that the ones that had surrounded them had backed off and had even moved closer towards the main group of Martial Might Sect disciples.
It seemed that they were more wary of the enemy that had suddenly appeared than those who they considered easy to deal with. This gave them the opportunity to escape, or at least it would have if they weren't seriously injured.
"Ah!"
The ones from the Martial Might Sect that had been surrounding the Clear Lake Sect were suddenly hit by attacks that pushed them back which created even more space for the Clear Lake Sect.
Mei Yao was surprised because…the one that did this was someone that he never expected to help them.
It was Yu Huang and Huang Xie who had appeared to push back the ones from the Martial Might Sect.
"I…" Mei Yao wanted to say something, but he was cut off.
"Go."
"Get out of here already."
Huang Xie and Yu Huang said at the same time before glaring at each other.
Then without a single care about what Mei Yao wanted to say, the two of them went forward to face the disciples from the Martial Might Sect.
Though it was Huang Xie who took the brunt of the counterattack that they launched.
They were no longer caught off guard, so they were able to fight back.
However, the Martial Might Sect disciples found that…Huang Xie's defenses were much harder than they seemed.
It only looked like a flimsy layer of green light around Huang Xie, but they weren't able to do a single thing to him. They weren't even able to make a single crack in that flimsy layer of green light no matter what they tried to do to him.
It was almost as if…he was an unbreakable ball that was charging right at them.
Some of the Martial Might Sect disciples panicked when seeing this and started running away, but there were some that stood their ground.
The looks on their faces…
"If his defenses are this strong, there is no way that his attack is strong. I'll just wear him down."
They were all thinking that they would just wear Huang Xie down by soaking up his attacks and counterattacking until his defenses broke.
The problem with that was…
"Take th…" They didn't even get to finish their sentences as they were punched out by Huang Xie.
Just a single punch was enough to knock out all of these Martial Might Sect disciples that tried to face Huang Xie.
It was like being hit in the face by a fist made of steel with the force that they were hit with.
When it was all over, the ones that had tried to stop Huang Xie were all lying on the ground with their eyes rolled back in their sockets. Not a single one of them was conscious anymore.
Huang Xie turned to look at the others who had run away and didn't bother with them.
Instead, he looked at the main group of Martial Might Sect disciples and focused on one person.
It was Senior Brother Tian who was currently exchanging moves with a person.
That person was…
Xiao Ming.
Naturally she would be the one that targeted the boss of this Martial Might Sect group.
It seemed like they were even right now, but both of them were still only testing each other. Neither of them had made a real move yet, so it seemed like they were both just waiting for something.
It even seemed like they had enough space to talk while fighting.
"Why are you doing this?" Senior Brother Tian's first words were this.
He didn't seem surprised that this was happening, it even sounded like he was already expecting this.
Xiao Ming just looked at him with a charming smile as she said, "What do you mean? Doing what?"
Senior Brother Tian slightly knitted his brows when he heard this before saying, "What do you hope to gain from this?"
Xiao Ming once again looked at him with the same smile as she said, "I have no idea what you mean."
It didn't seem like their talk was going anywhere, but there was some information that was being exchanged between the two of them.
Xiao Ming learned that the Martial Might Sect was indeed targeting them, but the fact that Senior Brother Tian had been confused as to how they had suddenly appeared meant that they hadn't been able to track them.
Senior Brother Tian learned that the Love Sect already knew certain things, which was why they were doing this.
The ones that he was most suspicious of was…the Demon Palm Sect.
He could see a few members of the Demon Palm Sect among those that were attacking the Martial Might Sect, but he couldn't find the one person that he was really looking for.
This was the one person that he was the most wary of since he had been warned about this person.
Mo Sha, the disciple of the Demon Palm Sect's sect master.
Before coming in here, he had been warned many times by the elders of this person.
While Senior Brother Tian was confident in his power and didn't believe that Mo Sha was worth being this cautious of, he still heeded the words of the elders. Especially when he was nowhere to be seen at this moment.
Xiao Ming could naturally see this.
So when she decided that there was nothing else for her to gain from Senior Brother Tian, she made her move.
"I think that everyone will be quite interested in seeing this."
At that, Xiao Ming pulled out the Recording Crystal that she held up for Senior Brother Tian to see.
Senior Brother Tian was a bit confused about what this thing was at first since he didn't recognize it, but then he saw that it was a Recording Crystal.
He didn't even need to guess to know what this Recording Crystal contained.
So the moment that he realized this, he no longer held back.
This was supposed to be something that was done in secret, but if there was a recording, then it would all be over.
The moment that this recording was released, then everything that they had done to the Clear Lake Sect would be known and the reputation of the Martial Might Sect would fall.
While the Martial Might Sect itself was strong enough that it wouldn't have to worry, the same couldn't be said about Senior Brother Tian.
If this was exposed, there was no doubt that he would be punished for this matter.
It would even be hard to say that he would be able to remain in the Martial Might Sect.
So this was not the time for him to be hesitating.
Senior Brother Tian didn't hold back at all as he released his full power.
It seemed like he was going in for the kill with how much power he was using.
This was an attack that might even threaten someone in the Qi Condensation Realm…
An attack that might be a bit too much for Xiao Ming…
So Xiao Ming couldn't help revealing a worried look, but she still braced herself as if she was about to take this attack.
But before she could…
Huang Xie charged forward and stood there in front of Xiao Ming as Senior Brother Tian swung his sword down at them.
The faint layer of green light appeared around Huang Xie and blocked the attack at first, but eventually it started to show signs of cracking. These weren't large cracks, but there were cracks that were forming in that barrier of green light.
However, Senior Brother Tian wasn't able to break through completely.
It wasn't that he wasn't strong enough.
If he had been given the time, he would have been able to crack that faint green light barrier of Huang Xie's. It was just that he wasn't given the time.
In his panic, he had forgotten about someone that he should have been wary of and he had been right to be wary of that person.
Mo Sha had hung back and was waiting for his chance to strike.
This was something that they had agreed on before attacking the Martial Might Sect.
Xiao Ming would be the one that distracted Senior Brother Tian and when he was distracted by the Recording Crystal, Mo Sha would land that final blow.
They were right about the power that Senior Brother Tian was hiding, it was just that they had been wrong about just how much power he had been hiding.
If it wasn't for the fact that Huang Xie's physique had gotten stronger, then it might have gone wrong and one of them would have been hurt.
But Mo Sha's palm attack perfectly landed on Senior Brother Tian's back and knocked him down, causing him to spit out blood.
Senior Brother Tian looked up at them and said, "Aren't you shameless, ganging up on me like this?"
None of them said a thing as they looked at him with knowing smiles.
Senior Brother Tian was about to say something when…
"It seems like they were useless after all."
