Chapter 89: The Moon Falls Under The Sword

The cape was stuck on a branch of a tree that extended out from halfway up the mountain.

Yun Yifei turned to look, and a long strand of silk emerged from her sleeves. She pulled it down and tossed it over to Shang Xia. You can use it to protect yourself for now. After this is over, youll have to return it to the institution.

Shang Xia chuckled, I understand. Many thanks, martial aunt

Yun Yifei smiled. Theres no need for formality Just call me Aunt Yun or Aunt Yifei from now on.

Alright, Aunt Yun! Shang Xia continued, About the items we obtained after killing the cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak Do we need to hand those over to the institution?

A mischievous smile appeared on Yun Yifeis face. Of course not. Why else do you think so many people are charging into battle? Especially those wandering cultivators.

As she spoke, the five of them left the range of the protection formation.

Because of the battle between the Martial Extermination Realm cultivators, the entire area around had been reduced to a wasteland.

There were countless figures running in the direction of the Four Spiritual Peak and even though the battlefield between the two worlds wasnt that large, it was almost impossible to locate a few hundred cultivators if they managed to leave their line of sight.

Shang Xi and Yun Yifei exchanged a gaze and they charged into the distance. Shang Xia and the others could only keep up.

The five of them killed four cultivators under the Martial Intent Realm the moment they joined the battle. Shang Xi and Yun Yifei basically killed the opponents themselves.

In order to increase their speed, the five of them didnt even bother stopping to collect their spoils of war.

The items those weak cultivators had couldnt catch their eye anyway.

As the cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak made their escape, several Martial Intent Realm cultivators took the initiative to cover their comrades retreat.

The real battle is about to start! Shang Xi yelled and those behind her changed their formation. Even Shang Xia who had just learned how to use the five man formation managed to meld perfectly into it.

In the next second, Shang Xia saw their opponent. There were four cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak standing before them, forming the Four Spiritual Formation.

The patrol squads of the Tongyou Peak had their own battle formation, and those of the Four Spiritual Peak naturally had their own. The four cultivators stood at the corners of an imaginary square and got ready to fight.

There are two Martial Intent Realm cultivators! Be careful! Dont allow them to pull you off your horse! Yun Yifei reminded as she got into position behind Shang Xi.

Shang Xia discovered that in their group, Yun Yifei was the strongest among them. However, the person leading the charge was Shang Xi whose cultivation came second among them.

When they arrived ten feet away from their opponent, Shang Xis knives flew out towards them.

The other side reacted immediately to deflect the attack.

Suppress it! A Martial Intent Realm cultivator in the Four Spiritual Formation yelled. His hand turned into a claw and grabbed at the knives that were coming his way. At the same time, a long strand of silk emerged from another side of the square.

Shang Xia felt the heaven and earth qi around the group moving in unison, and he understood that was the principle behind their formation.

A strand of silk emerged from behind Shang Xi, and it attempted to grab her knives before the cultivators of the Four Spiritual Peak got their hands on it.

Shang Xi didnt slow down in the slightest. Instead, she rode faster and faster and she ignored her weapons completely. It was as though she was confident that Yun Yifei would be able to grab them for her!

She was right. As the knives landed back in her hands, two massive blade lights shot towards the enemy closest to her.

Quickly! Defend against it! The Martial Intent Realm cultivators realized something was wrong and he quickly reminded the others.

The adaptive ability of the Four Spiritual Formation was strong and the heaven and qi earth gathered on one of his claws.

When Shang Xi attacked, Yun Yifeis silk strand disrupted the heaven and earth qi in the air.

The blade light flashed deep into the opponents formation and sliced off both claws. In their first exchange, the Four Spiritual Formation was partially destroyed!

As the squad advanced, they sent the first person in the opposing formation flying into the air. ll new stries at n0ve/lbi/(.)cm

The other three tried to retrieve their comrade but to no avail. Yun Yifeis silk strand caused the positions of the other three to change once again.

This time, Sun Haiwei and Shang Xia came into play.

Sun Haiwei sealed off one of the opponents in a ball of ice and Shang Xia followed closely behind. His Delicate Jade River Sword flashed and sliced the ball of ice into countless pieces, killing the cultivator within.

When the third cultivator of the Four Spiritual Peak tried to save his friends, Yan Qi was there to stop him.

Among the three, there was a cultivator with the sparrow bloodline of the Wind Swallow Race who was suppressed instantly by Yan Qi. He nearly died in a single blow!

Just like that, the Four Spiritual Formation was broken by Shang Xis party. The moment one of their corners fell, the formation would be broken!

The two Martial Intent Realm cultivators who were still alive decided to run when they saw the outcome of the exchange.

Wait for me! The cultivator from the Wind Swallow Race screamed. He was at the Martial Extremity Realm and without their assistance, he was no match for Shang Xi, Yun Yifei, and the others.

The moment the words left his lips, a long strand of silk appeared from nowhere and bound his neck. Shang Xis knives arrived the next moment to behead him.

Go! The five of them didnt stop at all as they chased one of the two escaping Martial Intent Realm cultivators.

Even though there were two of them, Shang Xis group didnt split up and chase. They quickly caught up to one of the enemies who were at the large completion stage of the Martial Intent Realm.

The cultivator knew that there was no escaping, and he counterattacked with his life on the line. Even so, he was trapped in the five man formation.

Very quickly, they ground him down until his strength was spent. The phantom of a giant wolf he summoned with his last bits of strength started to fade.

Moon Wolf Bloodline? Could he have some sort of relationship with Lang Xiaoyun? Yun Yifei leaped off her horse.

Shang Xi moved a little quicker and already found several broken remnants on his corpse.

This guy uses some sort of bronze truncheon. Too bad its broken. Looks like its a low-grade weapon too A look of pity could be seen on Shang Xis face. Even so, she ordered Shang Xia to retrieve the bronze truncheons. After refining it, they might be able to obtain some useful materials.

Yun Yifei found a wolf tooth necklace from the body all of a sudden and saw countless cracks on it. If she pressed it slightly, it would probably crumble to dust.

Yun Yifei crushed it, and she sighed, Since he went all out, he would have to use all the life saving items he had. Unless we have the ability to insta kill them like Uncle Shang, they wont be stupid enough to leave their treasures for us.

A low-grade weapon and a protective artifact were naturally the most valuable things he owned.

Since they were already broken, no one held high hopes for the rest of the things he had.

That might not be the case Yun Yifei looked over to Shang Xi who just spoke. She held an oval-shaped bronze item in her hand.

No way Rank three Jade Green Alloy? This is a treasure from the Azure Spiritual World! Why would it be on him? Yun Yifei revealed an envious look.

Ordinarily, rank two treasures would be enough to make a low-grade weapon. Rank three treasures could make mid-grade ones!

Of course, just the Jade Green Alloy alone wasnt enough. They had to gather many more materials!

It was a different story to upgrade a low-grade weapon to a mid-grade one. The requirements and materials needed were much lower.

It wasnt difficult to think that the cultivator who had it planned to upgrade his weapon. His actions benefited Shang Xi in the end.

As the pair of knives in her hands were close to a mid-grade weapon, they were the easiest to upgrade!

Previously, Yun Yifei was shocked to see Shang Xis weapons. It was only to become stronger in the future and she couldnt help but look on in envy.

After obtaining the Jade Green Alloy, Shang Xis mood was fantastic. She called for the rest to hurry up. Lets go! Well kill some other Martial Intent Realm cultivators before they all run away!

As the words came out of her mouth, a burst of light appeared behind her. When everyone turned to look, they saw a moon falling heavily into the ground. The next moment, violent shaking ensued.

When the dust settled, everyone saw a giant crater in the ground. Shang Xi and the others could only start running back to the Tongyou Peak in case anything unexpected happened.

Behind them, a ray of sword light slashed downwards and cleaved a massive ravine into the ground.
