Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 26: Split Battle

Two groups slowly closed the distance, both staring daggers at each other. The two girls that annoyed them were now standing together with their enemies. The fact that the two Sects didn’t like each other prior to the conflict only fired them even more.

"Bastards from the Sky Land Sect! How dare you attack innocents!" the Leader with an eagle above his head cried out first, moving forward.

"Hahaha!" The bold younger burst out laughing, shouting with a glare, "You hypocrite! Didn’t you just chase two beautiful ladies? They are the ones who were innocent! Did you even look at them?!"

"They stole our fragments and killed one of our members! What innocent? Bullshit! They are devils!" the Hundred Island Sect called out in return before pointing at Wen and Shan. "What did they do to you to deserve such treatment?! Explain yourself!"

The bald man looked confused when he heard Hundred Island Sect allegations towards innocent Wuying but hearing they defended Wen, he got angry again, repeating, "What did they do you ask?!"

He pointed at his burned head and yelled, "They burned my hair! My fabulous hair! All I did was ask if they want to travel and hunt with us yet she blasted a fireball at my face!"

Both groups froze, finding it hard to believe the cute ladies in front of them would actually be so evil. Unfortunately, they didn’t get to think about it for too long.

Ahh!!

Screams filled both groups as the girls exploded in power, attacking from the inside at the same time.

Thick Blood Qi covered Wuying’s arms and two blood-red chains immediately exploded forth from her palms, piercing through the closest two Cultivators.

Cough!

Blood burst from their mouths as the sharp end went through their stomachs, killing them on the spot. Her Shackles of Doom didn’t stop, sucking in their blood as they continued to fly towards the next victims.

Everything happened so fast that Sky Land Sect couldn’t even react. They were so close to each other that one member died one by one.

Yi didn’t waste time either. Just as Wuying, who was the Master of Blood Element, Yi wasn’t a damsel in distress either.

Bang!

Her body exploded into thousands of stars, illuminating the whole space. It wasn’t only pretty, but also deadly.

Slash!

Yi reappeared right behind one of the Cultivators and her sword followed her arm, slicing their head cleanly. The blood spattered everywhere, but she was already gone to another place, piercing her sword through another body.

Some counter-attacked, swinging at Yi and even hit her but she only burst into shiny stars, reappearing behind them to finish the job. That was the power of her Fate Spirit ability, Star Shaper.

"Is she immortal?!"

Someone cried out but those were the last words he uttered, suddenly surrounded by bloody lines that strangled him in the next second.

Wuying took control of the blood from Yi’s kills, making hundreds of thin bloody lines that only made it worse for them. They wrapped around their bodies and cut into their skin with each little movement.

She got stronger the more she battled, using the blood of her enemies to strengthen herself.

Roar!

The Air Qi Flood Dragon cried out, ready to strike but its targets’ position changed with each second. Unless the bald youngster wanted to hurt his Sect Disciples, he couldn’t attack them.

"Spread out idiots!" He ordered sternly, seeing how fast they were dying but no one even heard him, busy fighting for their lives.

Hundred Island Sect was in a similar struggle for their lives. Shan’s Ice Domain burst out with full power, locking all Cultivators inside. She had more than enough time to set up her domain while they talk shit to each other.

Bang! Bang!

Wen started the battle with a smile on her face and two giant fireballs that exploded two heads, smashing them into bits as if a heavy hammer slammed them from the side.

Shan controlled the whole space around them, launching Ice Blades that immediately pierced through multiple bodies at the same time.

Too bad, the Hundred Islands Sect seemed much more organized and they couldn’t capitalize on the surprise attack like Wuying and Yi.

"Armors! And attack the blue-haired women! She controls the domain!" Their leader cried out right away as a shiny Air Qi armor wrapped around his body.

Shan killed two more who were late before her shards started to bounce off their armors. It was another example of why Qi refining was so important in the Heaven Realm.

"Wen!"

The crimson beauty understood Shan without any unnecessary words. When you couldn’t win, just back away and return when you are stronger.

Swoosh!

Wen’s body suddenly engulfed with flames and Shan immediately covered her with Water Qi.

Pssssssssh!

Clouds of hot steam exploded like a volcano as water met the fire, filling the whole domain in a blink.

"Get in formation! Cover your backs!"

The Hundred Islands Sect grouped up while their leader acted on his own, "Little White! Tornado!"

Screee!

His Air Qi Eagle shrieked before swinging its wings, trying to disperse the steam yet it was completely useless. Steam was still water so Shan could control it! Just as it blew the steam away, Shan pushed it back in.

"Let’s dip," Wen proposed, knowing they wouldn’t be able to break through the armors unless they wasted a lot of resources. It wasn’t worth it.

Shan nodded and canceled the Domain, rushing out of the steam.

Huh?

When they saw that Wuying and Yi were already done cleaning up on their end, Wen regretted backing out. It looked as if they were weaker when in reality they simply got stronger opponents.

The bald youngster was tied with Wuying’s crimson chains, his Food Dragon already gone while the rest of Sky Land Sect covered the ground, all dead.

"Wen! Shan!" Yi called out happily when she saw them, rushing to give them both a hug.

"Yi! You guys finished them so quickly!" Wen exclaimed, smacking her butt. "Were you hiding your strength this whole time?"

"They were simply too weak. All of them panicked like scared chickens and barely anyone defended," Wuying replied as she approached the rest. "Do you want to kill him?"

Wuying looked like a real devil, her eyes red, the sky filled with her bloody lines and snake-like chains coming out of her arms.

She grinned and passed Wen the bald youngster who couldn’t even speak, his mouth gagged.

"Mhmm!!" he cried out the closer he got to Wen but she didn’t really care much.

"Your cries ruin our reunion."

Swoosh!

She pulled out her sword and performed a quick slash, beheading him on the spot. Wuying sucked in all of Blood Qi from him and dropped him to the ground. Naturally, she didn’t forget to take his Storage Ring.

"I missed you two," Wuying said as shared sister’s hug as well, her body already back to normal. "To think we Ascended to the same Land."

"I know, right? We will have so much fun," Wen replied. "I can already see the headlines, ’Four Devils terrorize the Air Land.’ Xuefeng would be proud."

"Haha, you are so evil." Shan laughed.

"They tried to kill us in the first place. We just returned the favor," Wen justified their action to which they all agreed.

Screee!

The cry of an Eagle cut off their conversation as the steam finally dispersed, showing a group of cultivators closely bound together. They fully focused on defense.

"You see them? Ours were like turtles, so we didn’t waste our time," Wen pointed out sarcastically before called out to them, "Hey you all! Do you still want to battle? We are busy chatting, but if you insist, we will spare you a few minutes."

The whole Hundred Islands Sect froze, their gazes focused on the tens of bodies laying on the ground, all either headless or with big holes in their bellies. They didn’t even hesitate, calling out united.

"Retreat!"
