Shu Road Mountain, the Mountain Stronghold's open ground.
The Demonic Messengers formed a circle, roaring and shouting like apes. In the center of the open ground, Yaoshi Yuan was facing off against three Demonic Messengers. They were all Second Turn Messengers who had earned the notorious name of the Black Whirlwind Trio throughout Liang Kingdom. Even in Shu Road Mountain, they were renowned Demonic Path experts.
"Black One, didn't you say you'd killed a Third Turn Messenger? Prove it to us!"
"Great Protector! Wolf Master Demon! Great Protector! Wolf Master Demon!"
"Black One, Black Two, Black Three—could it be that all three of you have gone weak in the knees?"
"Kill them! Kill them!"
Yaoshi Yuan was clad in armor, her face covered by a mask and her traces hidden beneath a hood. Looking relaxed, she danced the Soul Severing Spear through the air, creating a spray of spear flowers. The Black Whirlwind Trio gradually formed a pincer formation. Black One stood in front of Yaoshi Yuan, while Black Two and Black Three hid in the blind spots she couldn't see. That was how the three brothers operated: when fighting one person, all three attacked together; when fighting a group... they naturally ran for their lives as quickly as possible.
