Chapter 206: Night attack-5

The sight of Lu Ming's bloodied body was quite pitiful. Yet the words which came out of his mouth were surprising. The teams which were about to clash with each other halted their steps to try and comprehend what Lu Ming's words meant. The expression changed from surprise to disgust and finally laughter.

"Did you hear what the brat has to say? He said that none of us are going to make it out alive from here. Does anyone care to differ?" Every person either laughed out loud or looked at Lu Ming with a pitiful expression.

The leader of the first group raised his sword towards Lu Ming and said in a serious stone "Shut the fuck up and lie down on the ground. Your earlier actions could be taken as naivety, but you are not allowed to move from now."

Lu Ming's completed his body stretches and then looked at the leader of the first team. "Do you know what I hate most in the world? It is the situation here where an ant not only tries to devour an elephant but acts tough in front of him." He raised his hands and instantly four more shadows appeared within the alley.

The four teams pursuing Lu Ming were surprised by this occurrence, but they couldn't help but laugh out once again when they saw just four figures standing within the alley. 

"Is this your back-up? Four more Qi generals to fight off twenty people, out of which 10 are at QI King level."

"As I said before, an ant is trying to devour an elephant while also acting tough in front of it." When Lu Ming finally dropped his hands, the four figures moved out. Although the four groups were ready, what happened next was a shock to them.

The Qi generals who suddenly appeared within the alley started to cut through their team members like butter. There wasn't even a slight obstruction while slashing the body of those still within the Qi general level. The four figures were each using a different set of weapons.

One was using a sword, while the other was using a hammer, spear, and dagger. There were faint shadows behind each of their figures and the amount of power stored within every strike was quite vast. The Qi generals were mercilessly wiped out, and only the Qi kings remained. The event occurred so fast that the people present had difficulty adjusting to the reality of the situation.

Each of the group's leaders recovered their distracted minds and began looking at Lu Ming with seriousness. The matter didn't seem to be as simple as they thought it would be. They were about to go help their teammates when a sudden attack made them divert from their paths and dodge to the side.

When they looked back, Lu Ming was standing at his original position, the only change being the sword in his hands.

.................................

"Each one of you two will take on the two groups towards my left, while you two will together take care of the 3rd group." He raised his sword to point at the leader of the first group. "Leave him to me." The four hoods nodded their heads and proceeded to face the assigned group of enemies.

"Make sure to capture their leaders in perfect shape. As per the rest of the squad, no need to show mercy. Kill them all."

Lu Ming waved his hands to conjure beast flame out of it. He was using the Flame salamander fire and he first isolated the first groups from the rest. He then conjured his sword spirit and rushed towards the leader. One of the advantages Qi Kings had over QI generals was their Law energy.

The members began to use Law energy to fend off the beast flame, but what they didn't notice was a small light coming out of Lu Ming's head. No matter what kind of law these practitioners contracted with, it was still difficult for a Qi general to directly confront a group of Qi kings. even though Lu Ming was confident to win against any practitioner within the initial level of Qi King, the situation must be a one on one fight. How could he overpower a whole group of Qi Kings with Qi alone? It would take a lot of effort and careful planning which he didn't have as of now.

He decided to use his soul power. The biggest flaw of those who rush through their cultivation is the fact that they practice only a single path their whole life. Although Qi cultivation was important, cultivators forget about the cultivation of body and soul. This was where Lu Ming had an advantage. The body cultivation allowed him to confront enemies way above his current Qi level, while his soul power would come in handy in this situation.

.......................................…..

"Let's see how effective I soul spike, now that I have entered the realm of soul grandmaster." The spike began to form in the middle of Lu Ming's forehead. The power contained within the small soul manifest gave Lu Ming a dangerous feeling. He decided to attack the practitioner with the lowest level of cultivation.

An instant confrontation between the leader of the first group and Lu Ming took place. The leader's strength lived up to its name as someone who has reached the apex of initial grade Qi King.

The other two behind him decided to take this opportunity to attack Lu Ming from either side, but he too was waiting for this opportunity. The element of surprise was a crucial factor of an attack. The one coming from the left didn't imagine that he was the target of Lu Ming's attack all along.

The spike rushed out of Lu Ming's forehead piercing through the soul of the practitioner. The power contained within it was so amazing that the practitioner lost his mobility instantly, falling dead on the ground. The one coming from the right saw this phenomenon, but it was too late to restrain his attack.

Lu Ming let his body bear the burden of attack. The attack landed on his shoulder but was unable to pierce through. The attacker was shocked, but it was the last thought in his mind. Lu Ming took this opportunity to give a full force stab to his heart, piercing it. 

In a matter of seconds, two Qi king practitioners were laying down dead on the floor. The leader was shocked on seeing this turn of events. He never imagined Lu Ming to be so powerful. For the first time, he was nervous and a tinge of fear filled his eyes.

.................................….

The members were being hacked mercilessly. The duo, who were taking on the second group, managed to finish up the fastest of them all. After that, it was time for the other two groups. The duo helped take care of those two. The battle, which started just moments ago, came to an abrupt end with the capture of the three captains. The four people instantly sealed the cultivation of the three captured men.

The leader of the first group was the only one standing.

Five people had surrounded him. Before he could even speak or try to beg for mercy, attacks landed on him from five different directions, three of them managing to pierce through his defense. The first one pierced his hand, while the second and third went for the abdomen and one of his legs.

The whole floor was dyed with the fresh blood flowing out of the leader's body. All he could do was lay there in silence, looking at the five figures approaching him with shock in his eyes.
