Chapter 460: Earthbound Yaksha (2/3)
The voice immediately attracted everyone’s attention, while Sunless subconsciously turned her head over.
She saw Speechless walking slowly over.
Mu Yuesheng immediately used Lightning Flashstep to come to his side. After a careful check, she realized that the wound on Speechless’ left chest had basically been healed. She could not help but smack her lips and say, “It’s completely healed!”
Liu Yu said in astonishment, “Isn’t that recovery rate of yours way too astounding?”
In the distance, Pulp Farmer’s eyes were filled with admiration. He was the only one who knew how Speechless was able to quickly recover from his wounds. More impressive than his recovery rate was his ability to endure excruciating pain.
The scene of Speechless mangling his wounds while remaining nonchalant had been drilled into Pulp Farmer’s mind.
Sunless was also somewhat astonished, but she did not have any time to care about that. She used a curious glance to inquire Speechless why she had to wait.
Speechless also guessed that Sunless was extremely anxious, so he did not keep her in suspense. As he walked over, he said, “Now, the most important thing is to kill Field Marshal Awesomo and rescue Shi Xiaobai. We no longer have time to beat or kill Earthbound Yaksha. Now the best method is for you to wait by the side. The six of us will do our best to hold back Earthbound Yaksha. Grab an opportunity and directly murder Field Marshal Awesomo.”
“I know you are in a hurry, but you are the one with the highest chances of killing Field Marshal Awesomo among the seven of us. My strength might be higher than yours, but in terms of damage and burst of strength, I’m inferior to you. So, you have to wait patiently. Wait till we are able to hold back Earthbound Yaksha before striking. The outcome will depend on that.”
Sunless remained silent for a moment as the momentary return of her reason told her that Speechless’ method was correct. She nodded and turned around to retreat to a spot far away from the rest. She held her sword in wait. Her sharp eyes made her seem like she was a leopard that would pounce at any time.
A cold smile suffused across Earthbound Yaksha lips. The few humans had brazenly revealed their strategy and that act was completely ignoring its existence.
Thou shalt attempt holding me back?
Nothing more than a bunch of naive daws.
Fine, I doth not mind letting them has’t a taste of the cruelness of despair.
Speechless was always a person of action. He immediately demonstrated the executive power of his decision. After explaining his plan to Sunless in front of everyone, he did not waste a single second. The strolling suddenly came to an end as he burst forward and charged at Earthbound Yaksha. He was like a crouching tiger that had suddenly pounced.
“Pulp Farmer, Feng Yuanlin, triangular formation, seal its movements with This Emperor!”
“Mu Yuesheng, Liu Yu, long-range suppression!”
“Mu Lengxi, Spatial Transference, target it on Field Marshal Awesomo!”
Speechless shouted as he ran, and finished his battle strategy assignments at the fastest possible speed.
The six people whose names were shouted immediately did the corresponding actions. Speechless was always considered by the masses as the ‘number one youth in China’. There was no one below the age of sixteen in China whose fame could compare with his. And what resulted in his fame was his unparalleled talent. Four years ago, he had represented China to take part in the once-every-four-years World Hero Tournament (Youth Division). He had fought all the geniuses in the world below the age of sixteen. Back then, he was only ten years old, and his cultivation realm was only at the Psionic Mortal Realm. Yet, he had managed to enter the round of eight, stunning the world.
As the rookies knew this, none of them hesitated at executing Speechless’ orders.
Pulp Farmer charged from the left with spear in hand. Feng Yuanlin raised a gigantic shield and bashed from the right. Speechless charged straight in front of Earthbound Yaksha. The triangular spots they were standing in closed in on Earthbound Yaksha, forming a complete seal with the basin’s cliff walls.
Mu Yuesheng placed her hands to the ground as ice-blue lightning bolts sizzled. Two bolts as big as vines meandered through the ground like snakes. They bit at Earthbound Yaksha’s feet from a hidden angle.
Liu Yu threw his few remaining paper talismans and quickly chanted a few incantations. Translucent chains began to emerge out of the paper talismans, and on the end of the chains were sharp hooks that flailed towards the Earthbound Yaksha’s limbs.
Mu Lengxi flipped through her ancient spellbook and focused to release her magic. Although the spells she conjured did not need any chanting, a spell like Spatial Transference that bordered on forbidden magic still needed a period of time to accumulate her mana. The spellbook glowed with intensity, changing from weak to strong. Elemental magic began to tremble as they formed spatial power.
Sunless waited a distance away while gathering her strength. After listening to Speechless’ battle assignments, she had understood his plan. If nothing went wrong, Mu Lengxi would use Spatial Transference to move Field Marshal Awesomo, who was hiding behind Earthbound Yaksha, near her. The Speechless trio would seal off Earthbound Yaksha’s route of escape, while Mu Yuesheng and Liu Yu would hold Earthbound Yaksha back from a distance, giving her ample time.
It was unknown how long they could hold Earthbound Yaksha back, and what she could do was to do her best to kill Field Marshal Awesomo in the shortest amount of time when he was teleported to her.
This was very likely their last chance.
Sunless held her breath as she clenched her sword tightly.
Earthbound Yaksha squinted its scarlet eyes and glanced scornfully at the group. A teasing smile suffused across its lips.
Thee bethink it’s a perfect plan?
But foolish humans, thee has’t mistaken something.
“Doth thee not knoweth I am the Earthbound Yaksha?”
The Earthbound Yaksha sneered as it slowly raised the black samurai sword in its hand.
“Vaiśravaṇa Heavenly Slash!”
It lifted its hand and fell its blade. It looked like a slice from top to bottom, but six cold black blade beams slashed out in different directions simultaneously.
In addition, when the Earthbound Yaksha raised its black blade, a force that caused the hearts to palpitate filled the area. It caused the group to fill their souls tremble as their bodies turned stiff. They were instantly unable to move.
The six black blade beams flashed over as the situation instantly reversed.
Pulp Farmer’s chest armor was slashed into two as he flew backwards while spewing boiling blood.
Feng Yuanlin’s gigantic shield was shattered as a deep wound was slashed on his shoulder. He nearly lost his entire arm.
The paper talismans floating in the air were diced to pieces by the blade beam causing Liu Yu to suffer a backlash. He coughed out blood as he knelt to the ground.
As for the lightning bolts that were winding through the ground, they were cleaved apart by the blade beams that fell from the sky. The blade beams traced the lightning bolts back to Mu Yuesheng. Thankfully, she severed her output in time and prevented her organs from suffering severe damage. However, she was instantly left seriously injured by forcefully severing her attack.
Mu Lengxi was fine as she managed to conjure an ice shield to withstand the blade beam, but the ice shield had been conjured in a rush, so it was unable to fully withstand the blade beam. The remaining blade beam slashed through the spellbook in her hands.
Speechless used ‘Mirror Replication’ and forcefully produced ‘Vaiśravaṇa Heavenly Slash’ with a samurai sword he produced using psionic power. However, all he managed was to stop the blade beam that was heading straight for him.
With a single slash of its blade, Earthbound Yaksha had injured four of them and torn up the spellbook. It was equivalent to five of them losing their ability to do battle. Only Speechless could still continue to do battle.
Earthbound Yaksha said with a sneer, “All of thee has’t underestimated mine own power.”
No matter how perfect a plan was, it was useless against the huge gap separating them from absolute strength.
