Chapter 393: Chapter 273: Gale Princess

...

"How do they know?" the Captain asked herself, grinding her teeth, as she utilized her spiritual energy to propel two circular platforms at astonishing speed toward the young adversaries.

Aside from those at Cave’s End, no one should have known about Sun. As they charged past, she observed the calm demeanor of the youth and muttered to herself, "Could they truly be from Cave’s End? No, they wouldn’t have been able to produce such high-ranking experts. Could there really be another world outside our tunnels and caves?"

Kuang Fengji made a mental note to remember this—she would contemplate it further, just in case it could bring her greater prestige by informing her people of a potential escape route. A world not saturated by the stifling darkness of the tunnels. An ancient word surfaced in her mind: sky—a world beyond the cave ceilings with meanings yet undiscovered.

Lost in her own thoughts, the Captain failed to notice the dense branches blocking her path. The two metal platforms slammed directly into them, throwing the entire Dragon Army to the ground.

As a new wave of Earthen Spears suddenly erupted, blood-curdling screams filled the air—they instantly claimed the life of one Dragon Clan soldier while immobilizing another, a spear piercing clean through his leg.

These spears were smaller than the previous ones but were meticulously placed beneath the wooden barriers created by Wang Julong. It was evident that a different cultivator, not the one who made the first spike, was responsible.

The Gale Princess roared in fury as she realized that at least two enemies were Earth-affinity cultivators. A deep worry churned within her. The earth was all around them—an element the cave dwellers desperately hoped to harmonize with.

Even though the Captain raged furiously, she quickly composed herself and surveyed the cavern, assessing her troops.

Sun, unlike the others, hadn’t fallen. She floated down gently and now stood aside. She hadn’t participated in the battle at all, merely waiting patiently to see who would emerge victorious.

Kuang Fengji shook her head in disapproval as she observed her unit regrouping. Most were back on their feet, forming a defensive formation, their eyes acutely vigilant against the four youths opposing them.

The injured man cursed angrily as he tried to stand on his good leg, only to suddenly feel the tightening grip of a powerful vine. Thorns pierced his skin, and then his world went black.

The deadly poppy had grown for ages, feeding on Magic Beasts one after another. Having devoured so many creatures, the flower’s vines had become as tough as leather, its thorns sharp and strong as the teeth of wild beasts.

While the flower didn’t fare well against fully capable enemies, its ability to finish off weakened foes was unparalleled. When it ended the man’s life, vines emerged around the two corpses, dragging them into the shadows.

Seeing her once-intact team reduced by two members, her fury surged to a breaking point. She clenched her jaw, her eyes gleaming a dangerous red as wrath roared within her. With a wave of her hand, two short swords shimmered into existence, brimming with spiritual energy.

With blazing eyes, Kuang Fengji charged at the white-haired man. Someone had claimed he was their leader, and she knew taking him down would make the others easy prey.

As the two leaders clashed, a thunderous rumble echoed from the cave walls, and the Captain was knocked off balance.

The figure before her was taller than any man, and as she took a closer look, her eyes widened at the sight of silver eyes and a serpentine tail. This creature was undeniably a Magic Beast; yet it was one she had never heard of before.

Unfortunately, the beast didn’t hesitate in its attack. Its tail struck instantly, meeting the two swords. The resulting clash thrust both beast and human backward with tremendous force.

The beast was hurled several meters back, while Kuang Fengji staggered two steps. A small crack appeared on its tail, and a trickle of blood seeped out. Determining that the beast was merely at the Master level, a dismissive confidence flooded the Captain. This should be easy to kill.

Charging forward, Kuang Fengji sought to press her advantage, but an impending sense of danger abruptly halted her attack. Shifting to defense, she barely reacted in time as a shadow materialized nearby. A black blade grazed her cheek before forcefully driving her back several steps.

Kuang Fengji held her short swords defensively as she fixated on her initial target—the white-haired youth. He strolled nonchalantly toward the beast, grabbing its hand only to chastise it moments later.

"Don’t interfere," he commanded softly, gesturing to the shadow. The Captain’s heart sank as she saw how the serpent lowered its head and slithered slowly into the shadow.

"Apologies," the youth said as he looked at Kuang Fengji. The once-gentle and serene eyes now held an icy coldness that made her shudder involuntarily.

Gazing at the youth, it was evident that his level was below hers, yet Kuang Fengji couldn’t shake the feeling that the battle was tipping in his favor.

Her eyes remained locked on him, waiting for his next move. But before she could act, disturbances arose among the rest of her unit.

Screams of agony pierced the air as their bodies dissolved into liquid forms, and soul shadows loomed to take control of what remained.
