I alone am the Honoured One!

683  The Night of the Bloody Invasion [2]

Zhao Tian was startled to see Yao Jing blocking Selena's attack.

"Master…?"

He had expected Yan Zijin to be the one to step in... but never her.

Selena, still hovering mid-air from the impact, narrowed her eyes at the woman before her.

"And who the hell are you?"

Yao Jing raised an eyebrow and asked "What job do you have with my disciple?"

The ground beneath Yao Jing cracked as she steadied her stance and the flames coiled around her body.

Selena has no time for chit-chat and glanced at Zhao Tian "Velnorah.. since you took my Vryienne..."

*swoosh* As she dashed toward Zhao Tian, Yao Jing darted forward, intercepting her.

Her right fist ignited as a surge of fire erupted around her arm and she drove it straight toward Selena's face.

The heat warped the air, creating a shimmering distortion that made it hard to gauge the true trajectory of her strike.

Selena, however, was fast.

She tilted her head at the last second, dodging the fiery punch as it shot past her cheek.

With precision, she twisted her body, bringing her knee up toward Yao Jing's stomach.

BANG!

Yao Jing barely managed to cross her arms in time, absorbing the hit, but the sheer impact sent her skidding backward.

Before she could reset her stance—

Selena closed the distance again, slashing out with her clawed fingers aimed directly at Yao Jing's throat.

Yao Jing bent backward, dodging the swipe by mere inches, feeling the sharp tips of the claws graze across her neck.

The moment her back arched fully, she twisted her body mid-motion, planting her left hand onto the ground and spinning into a counter-kick aimed at Selena's temple.

WHAM!

The kick landed solidly, snapping Selena's head to the side.

Selena's blood mist surged, forming solid red tendrils that shot toward Yao Jing like spears.

Yao Jing flipped backward, dodging the first three... but the fourth coiled around her ankle, yanking her mid-air.

SHRRK!

The tendril whipped her sideways, slamming her into the ground, and sending dust and debris into the sky.

Before Yao Jing could recover, Selena was already on her, a blood-formed blade materializing in her hand.

She lunged, driving the blade toward Yao Jing's stomach.

Yao Jing threw her arms up, catching the blade between her palms.

Flames erupted instantly, scorching the blood weapon, but Selena twisted her wrist, causing the blade to shatter into smaller fragments, all of which shot forward toward Yao Jing's face.

But in the next second, someone yanked her robe, pulling her out of it.

Holding her in his arms, Zhao Tian teleported a few steps back "Idiot.."

Yao Jing felt dizzy for a moment because of the distortion and raised her gaze "Tian."

But Selena who already knew about Zhao Tian's teleportation, dashed toward him as she slashed her blood blade towards his neck.

Yao Jing instinctively raised her palm to block the attack but before her, Zhao Tian raised his blade and blocked it.

*CLANG*

He felt the numbness radiating through his body but in the next second, the force of Selena's exploding blood energy sent Zhao Tian and Yao Jing flying, their bodies crashing through the shattered ground.

Zhao Tian twisted mid-air, gripping Yao Jing tightly as he dug his foot into the terrain, dragging to a halt while skidding backward.

His arm throbbed from the impact as Selena's strength was ridiculous.

Yao Jing coughed, shaking off the dizziness from the teleportation.

"Jing'er..." Zhao Tian muttered, eyes locked onto Selena as she approached through the settling dust, her blood-coated blade still dripping.

"Oh? So now you're getting in my way too?"

Zhao Tian exhaled sharply, lowering Yao Jing to the ground.

Yao Jing's eyes flashed in defiance, but before she could argue, he tightened his grip on his blade and stepped forward, meeting Selena head-on.

Selena's eyes gleamed with anger as she lunged, her blood blade flashing forward in a precise arc, aiming to carve straight through his chest.

Zhao Tian's blade clashed against hers, the collision sparking a burst of red and blue energy, their opposing forces grinding against each other.

Selena's strength pushed forward, forcing him back slightly, but instead of resisting, Zhao Tian twisted his stance, sidestepping as he let her attack slide past him.

And in that same instant...

His knee shot up into her stomach.

BANG!

Selena's body lurched forward slightly, but she reacted unnaturally fast, twisting mid-motion and whipping her blood-coated heel toward his ribs.

Zhao Tian barely managed to raise his forearm, absorbing the hit.

But the moment her foot connected, a sudden detonation of blood energy burst from the impact point.

BOOM!

The shockwave ripped through the ground, sending Zhao Tian crashing backward, his boots skidding against the rocky terrain.

Velnorah gripped the Scythe and glanced at Yao Zijin, who was busy fighting another Vampire General who just entered as Selena left her.

Which meant... this battle was on them.

Velnorah gripped her crimson scythe tightly, her knuckles turning pale as she glanced toward Zhao Tian and Yao Jing.

'I need to join the fight...'

As Selena was about to make her next move, a pillar of fire erupted from the ground beneath her.

Selena's eyes flickered downward, sensing the attack just in time, and she propelled herself backward with a burst of blood mist.

But Yao Jing thrust her palm forward, and the pillar of fire surged into a massive wave, rushing toward Selena like a tidal force of pure destruction.

Selena clicked her tongue "Persistent little insect."

She raised her hand and took on that wave with her bare hand, until...

A shadow flickered behind her.

Velnorah.

Seeing this, Selena's eyes glinted with killing intent as she slashed the sword back at Velnorah.

Velnorah was startled, as she didn't expect Selena to counterattack immediately.

'Shit...' As the blade came close to her neck, Velnorah's eyes narrowed in horror.

She had already committed to her strike. There was no way to dodge.

'I can't dodge-'

*flick* In the next instant, Zhao Tian teleported to her and grabbed her wrist tightly.

And he teleported out of there.

"Fuck..."

The scenery blurred, shifting in an instant.

The next thing Velnorah knew... she was standing beside Yao Jing again and her pulse raced in dread.

"Haa..."

*sleesh* Selena's blade sliced through nothing but air.

Her gaze flickered toward them, "Always in the way, aren't you?"

Zhao Tian's eyes narrowed 'With my space domain, I can barely keep up...' @@novelbin@@

'And she hasn't even used her Plurret form and Blood domain...'

His eyes flickered to the Wing Masters, who were busy fighting the horde of vampires.

And then he glanced at Yan Zijin, who was thrashing the Vampire General she was fighting.

'We need to stall time till Master arrives...'
