Otherworld Advance Team-Chapter 1742 - 1735: Leveraging Advantages

"Let him go." Luo’er was silent for a moment, then let out a long sigh.

"I... kind of... never mind..." Tangmo hesitated to speak, but finally closed his mouth and sighed just like Luo’er.

Outside the inn, Feng and Xing Hu stood shoulder to shoulder, facing dozens of cultivators. Although they appeared calm, they were actually quite unsure inside.

"We need to fight side by side." Feng said calmly.

"Hmm, I’ll let you see my skills." Xing Hu replied.

"Remember, don’t underestimate them, especially be wary of those underhanded tactics." Feng reminded.

"I know, don’t worry."

"Just the two of you dare to obstruct us?" The leader crossed his arms and voiced his disdain.

"What kind of skill is it to have a group against two? If you’ve got the guts, challenge us one-on-one!" Xing Hu protested indignantly.

"Are you really that dumb or just naive?" the man sneered, eyes filled with arrogance.

"Since you’re not brave enough for a challenge, at least state your names. Under my sword, I do not strike nameless ghosts!" Xing Hu declared.

"Since you put it that way, why not start with yourself." The man tilted his head and crossed his arms.

"Let’s begin," Xing Hu cleared his throat and loudly declared, "I am Xing Hu, a disciple of the Xing branch of the Hongying Sect, taught by Bai Xingzi!"

Hearing his affiliation, the man’s face changed drastically, showing an incredulous expression, "You are a disciple of the old monster Bai Xingzi."

"Do not insult my master!" Xing Hu scolded angrily.

"Since you are a disciple of the Hongying Sect, why involve yourself in this matter? I have no intention of making an enemy of your sect. If the Young Lord wishes to leave, he may do so, and we will not obstruct." The man frowned and spoke solemnly.

"Noisy, if you repent now and leave this place, I will not pursue the matter any further." Xing Hu said bluntly.

"Is the Young Lord determined to be at odds with us?" The man’s expression gradually turned cold.

"What should we do," his subordinate asked uneasily, "Killing this kid will definitely offend Bai Xingzi. With that old man’s temperament, he won’t rest until the world is turned upside down."

"Hmph, dozens against two, we have the advantage. As long as we eliminate them cleanly, who will know we killed Bai Xingzi’s disciple." The man said coldly.

"But, the saints..."

"Except for the saints, leave no one else." The man issued a command full of killing intent.

"Understood!"

Feng seemed to sense unease, so she couldn’t help but glance at Xing Hu and said worriedly, "Xing Hu, perhaps you should leave now, don’t get involved."

"What nonsense, focus!" Xing Hu replied unceremoniously.

"Alright..."

Feng nodded, then took a deep breath and shouted angrily, raising her hand into a stance. As her magic erupted, an invisible Qi Force generated from her sword’s edge, tearing through the air towards the distant enemies.

Almost simultaneously, Xing Hu channeled his magic, and his longsword burst into flames. Then, he swept his sword, shooting the fiery Qi Force at the enemies.

It had been some time since they last met, and Xing Hu had clearly improved; at least he no longer rushed into close combat right away, instead starting to leverage the Royal Dao’s ranged advantage.

Of course, for these cultivators, such attacks only served as warnings. They easily dodged the attacks, then began channeling their magic, showcasing their various skills.

Admittedly, this batch of enemies was noticeably stronger than those encountered before, with at least a good number being Royal Dao cultivators, instead of all being Ba Path with only a few Royal Dao.

Facing the enemy onslaught, Feng leveraged her mobility device to weave and dodge, avoiding those Qi Forces that could tear her apart at any moment. Meanwhile, those prepared Ba Path cultivators began attempting close combat.

The addition of the Ba Path cultivators weakened the enemy’s ranged advantage, and Feng began entangling with these cultivators.

However, such entanglement offered little significance for her, as these cultivators neither wielded Rune weapons nor could channel magic to protect their armaments. Thus, when facing Kedal’s metal blade, they had no advantage whatsoever.

With just a few exchanges, Feng easily sliced through the weapons of these Ba Path cultivators. They were astonished and immediately retreated several steps, directly exiting the battle.

Once they disengaged, Feng immediately faced the ranged strikes from the Royal Dao cultivators, having to weave and counterattack simultaneously, somewhat overwhelmed.

On the other side, Xing Hu was similarly entangled with several Ba Path cultivators. The two Moving Mountain Sect cultivators exerted tremendous pressure on him, making his sword notch just after a few clashes. Xing Hu had to leverage force to minimize impact, trying to preserve his weapon.

Noticing his predicament, Feng began attempting to approach him.

After a few maneuvers, she reached no more than five paces from Xing Hu, then drew another Kedal metal blade from her waist with her left hand and shouted while tossing it towards Xing Hu.

This was Cheng Ziang’s sword, specifically brought by Feng for unforeseen events.

Hearing her call, Xing Hu instinctively reached out to catch the hilt of the flying blade. Just then, the enemies swarmed in, so he reversed his grip on the sword and swung it. With one move, he sliced through all the weapons around him.

"Amazing!" Faced with this scene, Xing Hu could hardly believe it and involuntarily exclaimed.

"Switch!" Feng shouted loudly.

"Understood!"

Xing Hu immediately understood, and approached Feng, then exchanged their positions and opponents.

Feng also noticed that Xing Hu was quite skilled at handling ranged Royal Dao enemies, where she could only dodge continuously while he could calmly counter-attack. This advantage was one she did not have.

Feng was not adept at dealing with ranged enemies; most of the time, she resolved it by drawing her gun. Once guns were unusable, and the enemies’ skills matched hers, she would become quite passive.

Feng excelled at handling melee enemies; having been taught by the Sword Saint of the Western Continent, even without divine weapons, she was confident in battling these Ba Path cultivators evenly.

On this point, Xing Hu was quite the opposite. The Hongying Sect mainly focused on Royal Dao, so as a disciple of Hongying Sect, Xing Hu had always received mainstream Royal Dao training, making him skilled in battling with Royal Dao techniques.

Ironically, the close combat he was passionate about was his weakness. Furthermore, without divine weapons like Feng, he found fighting quite strenuous.

After the position exchange, the result was just as Feng anticipated. She quickly dealt with these Ba Path cultivators, forcing them to awkwardly withdraw from the battle.

Meanwhile, Xing Hu channeled his magic to erupt, forcibly suppressing the joint attack of the Royal Dao cultivators.

"Xing Hu, cover me!"

Having settled her side of the fight, Feng quickly changed direction, charging towards the Royal Dao cultivators’ line while shouting out loud.

"Got it!"

Xing Hu immediately understood Feng’s intention, constantly stirring Qi Force to suppress the Royal Dao cultivators’ assault.

Leveraging his Qi Force, Feng kept her body as low as possible, almost touching the ground. Then, using the lift provided by the mobility device, she adjusted her posture and charged at the disorganized Royal Dao cultivators with the speed of lightning.

She arrived in front of a Royal Dao cultivator like a flash, then raised her blade to strike. The cultivator instinctively raised his hand to block. The Kedal metal blade struck his forearm, only to slice through a layer of cloth, going no further.

Feng, of course, knew the reason. She saw her left hand form into a palm, directly striking the cultivator’s unguarded chest. A dull sound followed, and the cultivator widened his eyes, instantly realizing the danger.

Immediately, Feng spun in place, her longsword swiftly sweeping across the cultivator’s neck. The blow met no resistance, and the cultivator’s head fell to the ground unprotected, followed by a fountain of blood from the severed neck as his body toppled to the ground.

The other Royal Dao cultivators who witnessed this were greatly alarmed and fell into chaos. They were, after all, just Royal Dao cultivators, and although they had learned some Ba Path styles, they were not adept at close combat, making them very vulnerable when facing sudden assassinations.
