Chapter 156: Chapter 156 Giant Sword Heroic Spirit_1

"That’s good; when the time comes, Senior Yi Xue will engage one of the Martial Masters, and I’ll deal with the other. However, the remaining Martial Artists will be your responsibility,"

Ling Xiao laid out his plan.

"It’s feasible, but our chances of victory aren’t great,"

Yin Ran frowned and said.

"Brother Yin, trust me, it’s the right call. Those twenty Martial Artists are split into three groups within the factory. This means, as long as we plan well, we’ll never face more than ten at a time, and it’s even possible that by the time we’ve killed the others, those two Martial Masters won’t have even reacted."

Ling Xiao explained.

Upon hearing this, Yin Ran gradually calmed down.

Indeed, the four of them still hadn’t been discovered, and now that it was night, they certainly could pick their fights.

Even if something unexpected happened, as long as they moved quickly, they wouldn’t end up facing twenty people at once.

Therefore, the battle was still on.

It was then that voices came from the direction of the factory.

"Boss, something’s not right. The guys we sent to change shifts haven’t come back yet. Don’t tell me something’s happened to them."

One of the Martial Artists, tall and fierce with green eyes, spoke up.

This person was likely from the Green-eyed Clan.

People from the Green-eyed Clan all have green eyes and are generally taller in stature.

The Ninja Clan has something similar to Martial Souls called Ninja Spirits.

And the Green-eyed Clan has something similar to Martial Souls called Heroic Spirits.

Essentially, they’re similar, except that the Ninja Clan and Green-eyed Clan have far more Martial Artists with Ninja Spirits and Heroic Spirits than the Human Race has Martial Artists with Martial Souls.

Of course, not all have them, as Ninja Spirits and Heroic Spirits aren’t that easy to awaken or obtain.

This Green-eyed Clan Martial Artist speaking up is one of the Martial Masters; he likely possesses a Heroic Spirit or a Broken Heroic Spirit.

And that boss, the owner of the Fantasy Pill Factory, is the other Martial Master, also from the Green-eyed Clan, and probably also with a Heroic Spirit or a Broken Heroic Spirit.

"Meng, you’re thinking properly. Lately, Lin Ze has been trying to destroy Fantasy Pills in Baiyun Province and capture Dream Pill Merchants. It’s right for us to be cautious,"

People of the Green-eyed Clan don’t generally have surnames, and most of their names are made up of just a single character.

"So, what should we do, boss?"

"Like this, take a few men and go check it out. Be very careful, and if you encounter any danger, don’t act rashly."

"Understood, boss!"

Meng nodded, then picked five people to accompany him to investigate the situation.

And Ling Xiao and his group witnessed this entire scene and heard it with their own ears.

"Let’s go, we’ll take out those five first!"

Ling Xiao immediately made up his mind.

Though one among the five was a Martial Master, the remaining four were merely Martial Meridians Sixth Level Martial Artists, not at the peak of the Sixth Layer, so they should be relatively easy to handle.

No one objected to this decision, as it was the most rational choice.

The others nodded their heads and followed Ling Xiao cautiously.

The place was vast and the terrain complex, which on one hand made it easier for the Dreamy Elixir Sellers to hide, but also allowed outsiders to conceal themselves more easily.

It didn’t matter that Ling Xiao and his companions were all Martial Artists above the Martial Meridian Sixth Layer; even a four-level Martial Artist could escape detection with enough caution.

"Brother Meng, there’s something here!"

Moments later, the Dreamy Elixir Sellers found traces of the shift-change Martial Artists who had been killed.

Although Ling Xiao had disposed of the bodies, these people weren’t stupid and observed the traces closely, eventually finding some clues.

"We can’t wait any longer. Yin Ran, Leng Mei, you two strike first! However, remember to avoid the Martial Master and just target the rest with Martial Meridian Sixth Layer!"

Seeing the situation, Ling Xiao knew they couldn’t delay any longer and immediately gave the command.

"Understood!"

Yin Ran and Leng Mei both nodded.

Even if they had doubts about Ling Xiao’s orders at this point, this was absolutely not the time to turn on one another; otherwise, all four of them could end up dead.

Leng Mei certainly wouldn’t question Ling Xiao, for Ling Xiao would even make an enemy of Murong Shao for her sake.

She could surround her without hesitating to break the rules of the Hidden Dragon Camp.

Yin Ran, although hesitant, was a clever man and knew what needed to be done at this time.

"Senior Yi, you’re responsible for holding off that Martial Master named Meng. We two will join forces to finish him off quickly, otherwise, if we delay, it will be to our disadvantage."

"Understood!"

Ling Yixue nodded.

The task was thus assigned.

Yin Ran and Leng Mei rushed to attack first.

Because it was a sudden ambush, they killed two Martial Meridians Sixth Level Martial Artists right from the start.

Thus, the group of five was reduced to three.

A Martial Master and two Martial Meridian Sixth Layer warriors.

Yin Ran and Leng Mei each took on a Sixth Layer warrior.

"Quick, send the signal!"

Though Meng was tall and strongly built, he wasn’t foolish and knew they had fallen into an ambush; hence, his first instinct was to send out a distress signal.

Without understanding the full strength of their enemies, this course of action was undoubtedly the right one.

If the enemy had resorted to an ambush, it meant they didn’t have the power to eliminate them all, or they would have chosen a direct attack instead.

However, the two Martial Meridian Sixth Layer warriors were entangled by Yin Ran and Leng Mei and had no chance to send a signal.

Of course, Ling Xiao wouldn’t grant them that opportunity; once reinforcements arrived, the four of them would be in danger.

Seeing the situation turning grim, Meng tried to send the signal for help himself.

But from the darkness, a white shadow suddenly struck.

Meng sensed great peril.

That moment, he stopped signaling, because if he continued, even if he managed to send out the signal, he himself would be dead.

Such actions were not something he would take.

Even on a subconscious level, he wouldn’t do it.

Meng threw out his fists, blocking the white shadow’s palm strike.

However, one was defending reactively while the other was on the offense.

This time, Meng suffered a slight disadvantage, his fists becoming encrusted with layers of frost.

"Who goes there? State your name!"

Ling Yixue, of course, wouldn’t reveal her identity. Her first attack having failed, she continued to strike, striving to maintain an advantage over the Green-eyed Clan.

"Damn it, you think I don’t know who you are just because you’re silent? You must be Lin Ze’s men. Damn, if I survive this, I will see to it that Lin Ze, that old fart, gets what’s coming to him!"

Though he wasn’t as strong as Lin Ze, the Blue-eyed Clan had long been throwing their weight around on the Human Sacred Dynasty’s territory, and they had their own people working for them among the high officials of the Sacred Dynasty and the Northern Han Kingdom.

When Lin Ze wanted to destroy the Fantasy Pill Factory, they used these connections in an attempt to kill Lin Ze, but their plan was unsuccessful.

Therefore, his words were merely an outburst of anger. If Lin Ze were so easily killed, he would have perished long ago.

Boom!

A loud noise, and a figure appeared behind Meng.

That figure wore a black steel armor and held a giant two-handed sword, standing about four meters tall, with the armor almost entirely covering the head.

Only through the gaps could one see a pair of eyes emitting a green light.

"Giant Sword Heroic Spirit! Hmm? It seems like a Broken Soul, but it has reached the standard of fifty percent integrity."

Among the Blue-eyed Clan, there were many similar to Heroic Spirits; generally, these nameless Heroic Spirits were considered low-grade.

Of course, one could upgrade the status of a Heroic Spirit through cultivation and even obtain a Heroic Spirit with a name, which was entirely possible.

After the appearance of the Giant Sword Heroic Spirit, Meng’s whole momentum grew even stronger, and Ling Yixue began to lose ground.

After all, Ling Yixue was a Martial Artist without a Martial Soul, and even though she was at the Martial Vein Seventh Initial Stage, she was still not at an advantage.
