Chapter 112
"Sir, Report!" Shouted a young Ascension level cultivator as he flew closer to Tizzy and Omis with an anxious expression on his face.
"Speak soldier." Answered Tizzy, the entire group not slowing down for a second.
"They have caught up to us sir! It seems there are being led by a woman we have never seen before, her cultivation level unknown!" Quickly replied the young scout.
"Did this woman have long azure hair?" Asked Omis.
"Y-Yes, sir!" Surprised the scout quickly replied with a stutter.
"Lylle." Muttered Omis, as he recalled the young lady with venomous eyes, the eyes of a natural-born killer.
"You know her?" Asked Tizzy with a raised eyebrow.
"We clashed once before, it wasn't anything serious, but still." Solemnly replied Omis.
"What are their numbers?" Asked Tizzy as he turned to glance at the scout.
"Approximately, a hundred strong sir! I could sense a few Golden Immortals with the rest being Profound Immortals, I did not sense any Immortal Venerable amongst their ranks."
"We can't afford any delays, or else the glowing bastard might just catch up."
"I'll deal with this. You lead the rest and proceed as planned." Spoke Omis before he turned to glance at his disciple.
Giving a serious nod in reply, Tizzy answered.
"I'll be counting on you, my friend."
Smiling in reply, Omis turned to speak to his disciple.
"Lu Lu, let's go." He said as he changed his trajectory mid-flight turning towards the back, Lu Lu swiftly following behind him.
Soon the small army of cultivators led by Lylle came to their view, their bloodlust soaring to the sky making it difficult to breathe, yet Omis and Lu Lu were unaffected as they faced them with cold expressions.
As the two groups came to face one another, Lylle, the leader of the small army of 'Hunters' raised her hand causing them to come to an abrupt halt. The two sides stood in mid-air sizing one another.
"We meet again, I didn't expect it to be so fast, to be honest." Said Omis with a smile.
"En, Omis." Lylle retained her usual neutral expression as she nodded, her murderous eyes on the other hand seemed to have sparks flying in them as she gazed back at him.
The bizarre star-shaped symbol that belonged to 'The Hunters' shone with an almost blinding brilliance as the two figures stood still in mid-air.
'Lu Lu, i'll leave the small fry to you.' Said Omis using his divine sense to communicate with his disciple.
'Leave it to me, master!' She replied with a cheery voice full of enthusiasm before turning her gaze towards the army.
With a loud whoosh, Lu Lu's figure instantly disappeared from her place next to Omis as she re-appeared in the middle of the army's ranks.
Surprised shouts rang out as people turned their eyes towards the intruder who had just appeared in the center of their ranks. Yet before anyone could react, blood had already been spilled, as two thin swords materialized in Lu Lu's hands with two more flyings around her.
"Kill her!"
"Get the bitch!"
"Agh!"
"What are you doing?! It's just one person!"
"Damn it!"
"Careful! Careful! Watch where you are swinging- Aghh!!"
Chaos quickly arose, as Lu Lu used her relatively small figure to evade the attacks aimed at her all the while using other cultivators as meat shields, her swords moved with undeniable grace as she looked to be dancing rather than fighting.
Whenever she went, heads and limbs would fly and blood would spurt. She did not stop for a second moving from one person to another, landing one attack with one sword and blocking the other with the second, her flying blades providing support as they reaped one life after another.
She was simply unstoppable, causing the numbers of the small army of 'Originals' to slowly but surely dwindle. Looking at the scene, Lylle's eyes shone brightly for a second before she turned to face Omis who had a rather smug look on his face that seemed to say, 'That's my disciple!'
"I underestimated your disciple." Lightly spoke the emotionless lady, causing Omis to simply smile.
"But that doesn't matter, i'll get rid of you first, Omis." She added before her figure blurred out of its place.
Omis also made his move, as he unleashed his cultivation base and shifted to face the attack.
A loud boom followed by an aftershock caused the small army alongside Lu Lu to be pushed away from their position further back in the distance. Lu Lu seemed to have anticipated this however as she used the chaos the shockwave caused to her advantage, swiftly getting rid of a few more enemies.
Omis on the other hand seemed to have his hands tied with Lylle as the two exchanged blows in quick succession, neither of them using any sort of weapons, simply relying on their physic.
Unbeknownst to him, a wide grin had managed to make its way into his face as Omis blocked, avoided, and attacked. The primordial energy inside his second body seemed to want to surge out causing his blood to boil, yet he kept it under control with his Divine qi.
He did not know why, but Omis was having fun. Neither he, not Lylle could gain the upper hand on the other, Omis knew that he would definitely be able to have he decided to use his second body, but he refrained from doing so.
It seemed that he was slowly growing to enjoy the thrill that fighting brings, the feeling of each attack as he moved the qi across his body and directed it outside. His mind was calm despite his raging emotions, he was able to remain extremely calm.
He could see everything, as Lylle was about to throw another palm attack targeting his left shoulder, he easily twisted his body to the side before countering with his own fist attack which she also avoided.
Omis didn't know how, but he slowly entered a strange state where nothing besides the next attack mattered, he did not think, he simply moved, one attack after another one fist after another, his aura growing stronger by the second, yet he didn't pay it any heed, or perhaps he didn't care, he simply continued moving.
And then Lylle brought out her saber.
