Chapter 45: Combined technique. Grab him
"Fine, I'll help you…but you know the Grand Elder of the sect is a level 7 martial artist, do you have a plan to deal with her?" Zi Yan inquired.
A sinister chuckle resounded from under the hood of the cloak.
" Of course, we naturally thought of a plan before deciding to come here; you don't think we'll risk our lives just to ask a few questions, right?"
The figure said as a small red pill that emanated blood essence appeared between his fingers, a strong smell of blood immediately filled the area around them.
Zi Yan wore a look of realization when she heard those words and saw the pill, that made perfect sense.
" Ok, then I'll tell you about the barrier. The formation is called the seven stars piercing barrier and has seven points as the keys to activating and deactivating it, but this information is actually false and meant to trick people who would attempt to use any of the seven points; the barrier will attack them instead.
There's actually a last point that's very well hidden, the eight-point!"
….
After a few minutes of speaking, Zi Yan had given the cloaked figures all the information she knew about the formation.
How to deactivate it and how to avoid the traps in it, these were knowledge that she possessed as the first elder of the sect and was supposed to be used to protect the sect in case the sect mistress and Grand Elder were unavailable, who would have thought that she would end up giving out this information to enemies.
"Hmm, I see. Good, we'll promise to keep to the end of our agreement; we'll see you in a few days when we carry out our plan," the cloaked person said before turning to look at the unconscious girl next to them.
"What should we do with her then?"
He asked while pointing his sleeve at her.
"I don't care, just get her out of my sight" Zi Yan replied and waved with annoyance.
The cloaked figures nodded before grabbing the unconscious girl and walking away silently.
Zi Yan returned to staring at the wall but her eyes were no longer lifeless but filled with expectancy.
"Just your wait bitch, I'll have your head" She grinned.
….
The cloaked figures had just left the cold cell and arrived outside the entrance of a large cave, they suddenly saw a figure rapidly approaching them from a distance.
The figure was over three kilometers away but crossed thousands of meters each second, the figure moved as if it was flying while carrying another person.
"Looks like we've been discovered, prepare to fight!"
The figure who was carrying Zi Yan's disciple voiced out.
The other four immediately spread out and entered a formation.
On Quin Xuxu's side, she finally left the main area of the falcon sect and was quickly approaching the cold cell when she suddenly sighted five cloaked figures coming out of the cell with a tied-up girl in their grasp.
Her eyes narrowed 'So there are really intruders'.
Quin Xuxu thought to herself as her speed increased and he got closer to the five. She saw them spreading out and forming a fighting formation, but she didn't slow down.
Swoosh!!
Quin Xuxu shot forward and stopped twenty meters away from the five who were standing two meters away from each other.
She dropped Leon on the ground before instructing him to stay at the back.
Her eyes gazed at the five with a cold glint, four of them were at the 4th level of martial art while the last one who was in the middle was at the 5th level.
"Who are you and what are you doing in my sect?" Quin Xuxu asked in an icy tone.
"And who do you think you are to ask us that question? It's none of your business," the person in the middle snorted before suddenly waving his hand, and a black scythe appeared.
Quin Xuxu's expression was cold as a long scimitar came out of her storage ring and landed on her hand, she gripped it tightly before telling Leon to move back.
The other four also took out their weapons as well and they faced the cold-faced Quin Xuxu; they didn't run even though she was many levels higher than them.
"Shadow scimitar, garden of death!"
Quin Xuxu called out as she executed a battle technique, her scimitar danced in the air and formed multiple scimitar shadows in the air in front of her.
She slashed forward and all of the scimitar shadows shot forward like sword waves, stabbing toward the five cloaked.
The cloaked figures didn't panic at the sight of this, each other then immediately gripped their weapons and also executed a battle technique.
"Five realms, doom breaker!"
The five of them shouted in unison as they slashed/smashed their weapons toward the incoming rain of shadow scimitars.
Five Shi waves shot out from their weapons and connected in midair before turning into a large skeleton avatar with five eyes and a large jaw.
The skull grew as large as fifty meters in the air and covered the path of the shadow scimitars.
Boom!
The skeleton and the shadow scimitars crashed and an explosion of Shi boomed in the air, sending a powerful shockwave in all directions.
The ground raptured as pieces of rocks were sent flying into the air, Leon was hit by the shockwave and was immediately pushed back.
After all, that was the shockwave from the combined attack of martial artists above the 4th level and that of a level 7 martial artist.
He was only at level 3 so there was no way for him to block.
But most importantly, Leon was shocked by the fact that they were able to counter Quin Xuxu's attack despite being levels lower.
"Hmm? A combined technique and a demonic technique at that, you're from the demon sect?!" Quin Xuxu voiced out after a quick analysis.
No wonder they didn't run even after seeing her, they were not afraid of her because they had a combined technique.
Combined techniques were martial arts that needed a group of people to perform together, they would be able to fight opponents at higher levels with this technique.
As for why she had realized they were from the demon sect after seeing their technique once, it was simply because only the demon sect trained such techniques that would create a skull.
The rest of the martial arts world disdained such techniques, only demon sects were still bold enough to practice such techniques.
Still gripping her scimitar, Quin Xuxu gathered her Shi and moved them to her throat before opening her mouth.
"Disciples and elders of the Falcon sect, people of the demon sect have infiltrated our sect and are currently at the cold cell where I am battling them.
All disciples are to be deployed immediately and block all exits of the sect, make sure to let none of them leave!" Quin Xuxu's voice rang out like a trumpet, spreading to every part of the sect and alerting everyone in the Falcon sect at that moment.
The body of the cloaked figures moved when Quin Xuxu announced their presence; now, it would only be a matter of time before many top experts of the sect rushed down here while the rest of the sect disciples and elders moved to block off their escape routes.
"That boy behind her, he must be her child since the falcon sect has no male disciples; grab him at all cost, we can use him as a hostage to escape!"
One of the cloaked figures shouted as they pointed their weapon at Leon who was standing behind Quin Xuxu.
Leon ".."
The fuck? I have been standing here and minding my business the whole time, why do you suddenly want to grab me? Sorry, but I only allow beauties to grab me; let me see your face, and I might reconsider.
