“Those two Martial Masters: Senior Apprentice Sister Yinxue will deal with one, and I will deal with the other. As for the remaining martial artists, I’ll have to bother you two.”
Ling Xiao stated his plan.
“Okay, but the odds of success are not great.”
Yin Ran said with a frown.
“Brother Yin, listen to me. Those 20 martial artists are located in three different places. In other words, as long as we plan well, we don’t need to face more than 10 martial artists at once. We might even kill them all before those two Martial Masters can respond.”
Ling Xiao explained.
Hearing his words, Yin Ran gradually calmed down.
They had not been discovered until now. Moreover, it was nighttime, so they could definitely ambush them individually.
Even if there were an accident, as long as they acted quickly, they wouldn’t ever face twenty people at the same time.
Therefore, this battle could be fought and won.
At this moment, a voice resounded in the factory.
“Boss, something is wrong. No one has returned although those people have gone to change shifts. Has there been an accident?”
A tall and robust martial artist with blue eyes asked.
It was likely that this person was from the Blue Eyed Race since they all had aquamarine eyes, and comparatively tall statures.
Ren Race had Ren Spirits that resembled martial souls.
The Blue-Eyed Race had Brave Spirits similar to martial souls.
In fact, they were nearly identical in concept. However, the martial artists of the Ren and Blue-Eyed Races who possessed Ren and Brave Spirits far exceeded the martial artists of the Human Race who possessed martial spirits.
Naturally, not everyone possessed them. After all, Ren and Brave Spirits were also not that easy to awaken or obtain.
This martial artist of the Blue-Eyed Race who had just spoken was one of the two Martial Masters present. He must possess a Brave Spirit or an incomplete Brave Spirit.
That Boss was the boss of this Dream Pill Factory, the other Martial Master. He was also a clansman of the Blue-Eyed Race who probably also possessed a complete or incomplete Brave Spirit.
“Meng, you are right. Recently, that Lin Ze has been trying to destroy Dream Pills and capture Dream Pill merchants in White Cloud Province. Being a bit more careful can’t go wrong.”
Generally, the people of the Blue-Eyed Race didn’t have surnames, so most had one-word names.
“Then, what should we do, Boss?”
“Take some people with you and go take a look. Be careful! If you notice any danger, don’t act rashly.”
“Got it, Boss!”
Meng nodded before choosing four people to check the situation.
This scene was entirely recorded by Ling Xiao and the others.
“Let’s go and eliminate those five people first!”
Ling Xiao immediately made up his mind.
Although there was a Martial Master among those five, the remaining four were just Rank Six Martial Vein martial artists; moreover, they were not even at Peak Rank Six Martial Vein, so it was relatively easy to deal with them.
No one had any objections since it was the most reasonable choice.
The other three people nodded and cautiously followed Ling Xiao.
This place was very large, and the terrain was relatively complex. On one hand, it was convenient for these Dream Pill traffickers to hide, but on the other, it also made it easier for other people from the outside to conceal themselves.
Not to mention that Ling Xiao’s team of four were all martial artists above Rank Six Martial Vein, even if they had been just Rank Four Martial Vein martial artists, it would be very difficult to find them as long as they were careful.
“Brother Meng, something is wrong here!”
After a short while, the Dream Pill traffickers found the traces of those dead martial artists who had come to change shifts.
Although Ling Xiao had taken care of the corpses, these people weren’t stupid. Moreover, hey were carefully looking for clues, which made it easier.
“We can’t waste anymore time, Yin Ran, Leng Mei, you two will attack first! But remember to avoid that Martial Master. ust deal with the Rank Six Martial Vein martial artists!”
Ling Xiao analyzed the situation and knew that they couldn’t delay any longer. Therefore, he immediately issued an order.
“Understood!”
Yin Ran and Leng Mei nodded.
Even if they had doubts about Ling Xiao’s orders, they could not turn back; otherwise, it was likely that all four of them would be buried here.
Leng Mei would never question Ling Xiao’s decision since he had become enemies with Murong Shao for her.
Moreover, he had not hesitated to break the rules of the Hidden Dragon Battalion for her.
Although Yin Ran had some misgivings, he was a smart man. He knew what to do at this moment.
“Senior Apprentice Sister, you are responsible for tangling with that Meng. We’ll join hands to quickly eliminate him. Otherwise, if this drags on, it will be bad for us.”
“Okay!”
Ling Yixue nodded.
Now, everyone had been assigned their task.
Yin Ran and Leng Mei jumped over first.
Because they were making a sudden surprise attack, they quickly killed two martial artists, and five people turned into three: one Martial Master and two Rank Six Martial Vein martial artists.
Yin Ran and Leng Mei dealt with those remaining two Rank Six martial artists individually.
“Send the signal!”
Although Meng was tall and burly, he was not stupid. After noticing the ambush, he immediately thought to send a distress signal.
In a situation where the enemy’s strength was unknown, this was the right choice.
Since the enemy had ambushed them, this proved that the enemy’s strength was not sufficient to wipe them out in an open fight. Otherwise, they would have directly attacked.
However, those two martial artists were tangled with Yin Ran and Leng Mei, so they had no chance to send a signal.
Naturally, Ling Xiao wouldn’t give them this chance; the four of them would fall into danger if reinforcements came.
At a glance, Meng knew that this situation was anything but reassuring, so he thought to send his own distress signal.
However, a white figure suddenly attacked him from the darkness.
Meng felt extreme danger.
He immediately stopped trying to send out the signal. If he continued, the signal would be sent, but he would certainly die if he didn’t defend himself.
Even if he were more loyal, subconsciously, he couldn’t do this.
Meng punched, blocking that white figure’s palm.
However, one was passively defending while the other was actively attacking.
Meng suffered a small loss this time, and a layer of ice appeared on his fist.
“Who are you! Declare your name!”
Naturally, Ling Yixue wouldn’t declare her name. Since this move had failed, she continued to attack, trying to maintain her advantage and suppress her opponent.
“Bastard, do you think I won’t not know if you don’t answer? You all must be Lin Ze’s people. F**k! If this father survives, he will definitely make that old man Lin Ze suffer!”
Although he was not as strong as Lin Ze, the Blue Eyed Clan had tyrannically abused their power in the Human Race’s territory for many years. Moreover, many high-ranking officers of the Human Race’s Sacred Dynasty and Northern Han Country worked for them.
When Lin Ze had initially begun destroying Dream Pills, they had used these underlings to kill Lin Ze but had failed.
In other words, his threat was just him venting his anger. If Lin Ze were so easy to kill, he would have already died long ago.
Boom!
An explosion resounded as a figure appeared behind Meng.
Wearing black steel armor that covered its entire body and holding a huge two-handed sword, this figure was about four meters tall.
Merely, from a small chink in its helm, a pair of blue eyes could be seen.
“Great Sword Brave Spirit! Huh? It seems to be only an incomplete Brave Spirit, but it has reached the level of a 50% incomplete soul.”
Among the Blue-Eyed Race, there were many martial artists with similar Brave Spirits. Generally, these kinds of Brave Spirits without a name or surname were considered relatively low-grade.
Naturally, their grade could be upgraded via cultivation and could gain both a name and surname.
After the Great Sword Brave Spirit appeared, Meng’s momentum skyrocketed. Ling Yixue gradually fell into a disadvantageous position.
After all, Ling Yixue was without a martial soul, and she was similarly an Initial Rank Seven Martial Vein Martial Master, so it was reasonable for her to not have any advantage.
