NOVEL NEXT Chapter 543: Wild Demon
Bursting towards Su Lan from all different directions, she had to remain close to Adam and protect his unconscious body, but also had to take down so many opponents.
She was in a tough predicament, but it was the perfect time to put all the training she had done with Adam to good use.
Blossom Burst Skill
With Adam's aid and the fundamentals of her family's swordsmanship, she was able to form her own movement skill that was similar to that of Adam's Burst Movement Skill.
However, it was much more elegant and swift so that she could implement it in her swordsmanship.
It couldn't compare to Adam's in raw power, but she didn't need raw power and wanted to improve her overall speed within a short range, which would give her a massive advantage in battles.
Using it, she disappeared and suddenly appeared before one of her attackers, and without any hesitation or remorse, she slashed his neck cleanly.
There was a thud as the man's head fell onto the floor and rolled away, then there was a fountain of blood that gushed out of his neck.
It was a ruthless and frightening scene, but Su Lan didn't flinch or stop for a moment, as she disappeared from where she was and did the same thing to two of the other attackers.
After three of their men were beheaded, Su Lan whose blade was dyed red was frightening and deterred the rest of the initial attackers.
Having watched her battles and having a good idea of how capable she was, they all couldn't help but be amazed at how much power she currently had.
Either she was concealing her power, which was unlikely, or she had been able to progress so much in the matter of 5 days, which if she had, was unbelievable.
"One last chance to leave this area and never return, or all of you will suffer a similar fate," she warned.
Although she was acting strong and completely calm, in the back of her mind, it was almost impossible for her to be able to take them all on and come out on top.
Let alone while protecting Adam.
However, she had no choice but to fight and protect Adam who had already done so much for her.
She was even willing to put her life on the line to do so.
"Men, don't be afraid. Attack her together and as long as we don't kill her, we won't suffer any consequences. Charge!"
Lifting the morale of the small army he had formed all in order to eliminate one man, the crippled cultivator's father definitely was a cautious man, and he was yet to attack himself.
In the heat of the battle, and experiencing a great adrenaline rush, they allowed themselves to be consumed in hatred as many more cultivators dashed towards Su Lan, this time not holding back.
They were by no means pushovers with most of them being elite talents in the region, and just taking part in the regional tournament was an achievement in itself, so she couldn't underestimate them.
While they had also brought with them back up from their families, so she had to be careful and not hold back as well.
Fragrant Sword Slash
A delightful aroma engulfed the senses of all those around her, but it didn't last long, and following the nice smell, was a powerful blade of energy.
It sliced through three of them like a hot knife through butter, cleanly cutting their bodies in half and leaving them howling in pain for a few seconds before passing away.
In their last moments, their legs and upper body that had been split were shaking wildly, and it was a gruesome sight, but it didn't affect Su Lan in the slightest, who had to continue fighting.
Instantly after, sensing a few had neared Adam, she turned around and unleashed the Still Blossom Barrage, a rapid series of sword thrusts that annihilated them completely.
Blood splattered everywhere and she along with her blade were covered in it as she continued unleashing powerful attacks to protect Adam, who lay there as if nothing was happening.
Using her sword qi and everything else that she could, she didn't hold back in the slightest and was quickly slashing down so many of her opponents that she appeared to be an enraged demon.
However, it was also becoming clear that she was getting fatigued, and it was impossible for her to continue using such powerful attacks for much longer.
Since she wanted her opponents to keep their distance, so that they couldn't get close to Adam's body, she had been using large amounts of her Internal Energy, and she could feel the last of her energy dwindling away.
Suddenly, one of her attackers burst toward Adam with great speed and with most of her Internal Energy being depleted, she had no choice but to attack him at close range.
"I'm going to be the one to kill him!" he yelled as he neared Adam and went to pierce him with his spear.
However, she was also fighting against two capable opponents that she was struggling against.
Not hesitating to put her body on the line to protect Adam, she gave her back to her opponents as she launched herself towards Adam's body and struck down the one attacking him.
However, in the process, she took two deep blows to the back that definitely weakened her greatly.
Spinning Blade Slash
Cutting down the two opponents that had dealt her those blows, her vision was starting to become blurry, and the fatigue was starting to catch up to her, but she still stood strong.
"Take her down, she is on her last legs," instructed the leader of the large group of cultivators.
The cautious fellow had never in his wildest dreams expected for her to be so capable and take down so many of the men he had gathered, and he knew he was going to get into big trouble for all the death he had initiated, but there was no turning back.
As long as both Su Lan and Adam died, he could happily go into hiding and it would all be worth it.
Even though things hadn't turned out exactly as he expected, it was all the same, and their fates were sealed, or so he thought.
