Chapter 933: Chapter 933 - 428: Victory or Defeat (Part 2)
Can’t do it, can’t do it! Can’t be impulsive. If we kill too conspicuously and attract attention, it will be troublesome instead.
We must operate stealthily, in a way that doesn’t stand out at all, defeat the enemy just right, and determine the outcome in a ’reluctantly’ manner amid a tough fight.
Fang Yu was still a bit worried about others discovering he had come back to life; if the old ones nearby decided to disregard martial virtues and attack him, it could be fatal.
Additionally, he needed to keep an eye on the battle situation over there.
If Zuo Caicai won, he could just lie down as a corpse again.
Of course, if Zuo Caicai lost, then he’d really need to find a way to escape... wait, if Zuo Caicai lost, continuing to pretend to be a corpse might also be a way to escape?
Just don’t know how people deal with corpses, hoping they don’t set it on fire and burn me up.
...
"Ha!"
Ling Huxiang shouted softly, coordinating with the Hei Family expert, barely forcing the invaders temporarily back by a considerable distance, gaining a short breathing space.
Ling Huxiang was already feeling groggy.
She was still not fully recovered, and forcing herself to fight now was quite risky.
Fortunately, with Zhu Huidao and Dong Xingzhou, who were quite capable, constantly assisting her, along with Foolish Underworld members providing additional support, they could barely handle the situation.
However, the overall battle situation seemed to be not going very well.
As she expected, their alliance was at a disadvantage compared to the Ye Family’s side, even feeling a bit retreating step by step.
Over there, Zuo Caicai and Ye Deyao were already in combat, but looking extremely ragged.
Meanwhile, other experts of similar strength to hers had already began dueling with the elite fighters of the Ye Family.
Yet these experts, though few in number, were very difficult to deal with, making it hard to tell who would prevail in a short time.
On the lower-level battlefront, thanks to the advantage of numbers, they barely gained a slight upper hand.
Wait! Why did those people move over there! That’s where Diao Deyi’s body is!
Ling Huxiang’s face darkened. Although the area was divided, once a fight starts, it’s impossible to stay confined to a space, it involves both fighting and moving.
With more people in the massive battle tactics, it’s naturally more uncontrollable.
But thinking about Diao Deyi’s body being trampled on by people, killing intent erupted on her face.
Ling Huxiang really wanted to charge over there and retrieve Diao Deyi’s body, but the Ye Family expert in front of her was blocking her path, leaving her with no space to move.
In the clash between the main forces, aside from Fatty Jin, she was the easiest point to break through!
Battle damage and a battle kill are two different things. Battle damage still maintains combat power, while a battle kill completely resolves a problem.
The guys in front obviously want to kill one or two vulnerable ones first to hasten the battle conclusion.
Ling Huxiang glanced at the two beside her. Whether it was Dong Xingzhou or Zhu Huidao, neither could disengage and had to constantly support her to maintain any chance against the Ye Family experts.
As for others, sent into the massive battle zone, they probably wouldn’t even make a ripple.
At this moment, the Ye Family experts attacked once more, forcing Ling Huxiang to focus all her attention on the fight, unable to spare any effort for anything else. However, she had already instructed Dong Xingzhou and the others to be ready to escape, as she noticed that Zuo Caicai was showing signs of weakness in continuation and started revealing signs of defeat.
"..."
In the observing stand, Jin Yexue, holding the artifact, silently watched everything in front.
As an Artifact Person, she was naturally temporarily ’kept’ by the strongest Lv Family. Once a winner was determined, the victor would obtain her and the corresponding artifact.
The Lv Family had no interest in her.
What they wanted was the ultimate prize of victory, not minor gains here and there.
"Now!"
Suddenly, a stern shout came from the battlefield.
Upon hearing it and looking over, they realized that a Ye Family expert who had been besieging Ling Huxiang and others was unexpectedly killed by a Sword Qi blow.
The mid-tier forces on the Zuo Family alliance side were partially freed!
Such a subtle change immediately shifted the battlefield situation.
"Great! Now we’ll go support Zuo Caicai!"
Fatty Jin shouted excitedly.
Ling Huxiang was panting heavily beside, looking as if she was exhausted.
Glancing over to Zuo Caicai’s side, it was clear Ye Deyao hadn’t expected their family’s elite to be the first to be broken through by the Zuo Family alliance.
"If there were more Ye Su..."
Ye Deyao thought with a grim expression.
Ye Su’s Mutual Destruction Sword Skill wasn’t a Ye Family swordsmanship but a unique opportunity for Ye Su personally.
Rising from a branch family’s servant to a birthright child of the main family, Ye Su soared like a phoenix, soaring high into the sky.
But her success was not easily replicated.
Because after studying it, the Ye Family discovered that Ye Su’s Mutual Destruction Sword Skill demanded high talent, was harder to cultivate compared to techniques of the same tier, and progressed slowly. Yet once mastered, its swordsmanship wasn’t particularly superior to those of the same tier.
It’s safe to say that if not used by someone with special talent, no one would be willing to cultivate a sword skill that leads to mutual destruction.
However, Ye Su recognized her value, which is why she desperately cultivated this sword technique, knowing that it was precisely because of this sword skill that the Ye Family favored her. Otherwise, her fate would have been no different from those slaves who met tragic ends.
Even so, according to Ye Su’s candid acknowledgment of her shortcomings, against enemies with superior body skills or outstanding defense, the Mutual Destruction Sword Skill could only wound the enemy, never truly result in mutual destruction.
