Chapter 75: Assassinations

As Jia Yuan looped back around to rejoin the Spectres of

Wind, the fight between the special forces erupted in a giant explosion Songs.

In just a matter of seconds, over 100 Spectres of Wind had fallen, never to

stand up again, and a similar number of Storm Sentinels had fallen. However,

only a few of the Iron Guard had fallen.

Earth was just simply too strong of a defensive element. One

can try to batter a rock with wind, but unless sharp wind blades were formed,

how would one be able to penetrate such a solid defense?

In terms of raw form, water is clearly less of a defensive

element than earth, which is why so many of the Storm Sentinels were killed.

This was just the first exchange, however. Both sides

collided with each other, and soon the immediate vicinity soon resembled the

main battlefield. However, this scene was much more lively, albeit much smaller

in size.

In the midst of the fighting, Jia Yuan dashed in and out of

individual battles, casually killing those from the Water and Earth Kingdoms

easily. For those of the Earth Kingdom, Jia Yuan could blast apart their rocks.

For those of the Water Kingdom, he subtly used a bit of his own Song of Water

to cancel out the enemy fighter’s attacks or defenses, and then he would

swiftly use his Song of Fire to attack.

This sort of balancing two Songs playing in his soul was

very hard. If he let the two Songs merge together, his soul would likely

collapse. If Jia Yuan didn’t concentrate on keeping his Songs released, hje

could accidentally use the wrong Song while attacking or defending.

Meanwhile, some of the fighters from each side had handed

their bodies over to their Songs. In battlefields such as this, this wasn’t an

uncommon occurrence. If someone was being overpowered or saw their side being

overpowered, they would sometimes be willing to give their body to their Song

at the risk of their Soul being lost forever.

Jia Yuan had done the same before, although by accident.

However, he understood the process pretty well. Although those few were

wreaking havoc now, they would be severely drained after a few minutes.

But Jia Yuan still made his way through the field of battle.

He was looking for the two commanders he had scoped out earlier. If he could

kill the commanders, it would be fairly simple for the Spectres of Wind to keep

the fight even or even to massacre the Earth and Water Kingdom forces.

There! There he is!

Jia Yuan spotted the commander of the Iron Guard, who was

singlehandedly fighting 3 Spectres of Wind.

Jia Yuan quickly popped a two pills in his mouth and quickly

felt the pills giving him additional energy. Although the fighting hadn’t gone

on for too long, Jia Yuan had exhausted a substantial amount of his strength.

After all, the Song of Swords used a great deal of energy to use.

Jia Yuan dashed in towards the Earth Kingdom commander.

However, one of the commander’s officers had noticed Jia Yuan!

As Jia Yuan neared the commander, this officer stepped in

Jia Yuan’s way.

Jia Yuan lifted up his black sword and chopped downward, not

even bothering to supplement his blade with the power of his Song.

The raw power of the blow itself crushed the officer into

the ground. He wasn’t dead, but he wouldn’t be able to obstruct Jia Yuan

anymore.

Rushing past the officer, Jia Yuan gathered up the energy in

his body and directed it into his sword.

At this point, the commander felt a twinge of fear in his

heart, a feeling of death…

He immediately retreated from the Spectres of Wind he had

been fighting against and looked back. The only thing he had time to see before

he died, was a giant flame in the shape of a sword descend upon him with all of

the pressure of a falling mountain.

Jia Yuan released a heavy shout as he thrust his sword down

with all his might. Even if he was a prodigy, if we wanted to kill someone in

the Manipulation realm in one strike, he would have to fiercely pour his energy

into the attack without holding anything back.

The resulting attack completely incinerated the commander’s

defense and disintegrated the commander’s body. Such was the world of

cultivation. Even a minute difference of strength could result in one side

being completely dominated and destroyed.

Everyone in the area looked at him in shock.

This…this runt of a soldier had actually instantly killed

the Iron Guard commander!

However, at the same time, a shout of pain sounded from the

side of the Spectres of Wind! Jia Yuan ate two more pills and flew into the

air.

Quan Zen was lying on the ground, with the Water Kingdom’s

commander standing in front of his body!
