Qu Jinfeng and the other two held the rear, figuring that even if an Asura at the Soul Emergence stage arrived, the three of them could hold it off for a while—or even kill it in return.
Human Race cultivators truly had that confidence. A group of Nascent Soul cultivators dared to fight an Asura King.
Qu Jinfeng was a veteran Nascent Soul High Stage cultivator. The brocade-clad youth had a vast supply of talismans, while the Beast-Taming Dao cultivator was no weakling himself. Moreover, the spirit beasts he had brought were far more than just the purple eagle beneath his feet.
With such a formidable combination, why couldn't they consider killing an Asura King?
But the moment they saw the surging horde of Asuras, the three knew things had gone wrong. They immediately ordered everyone to disengage from battle and retreat in an orderly fashion.
There were no fewer than fifty Nascent Soul Asuras on the other side, perhaps as many as eighty. Under such circumstances, they would have had to flee even without an Asura King.
And now that an Asura King had appeared as well, Qu Jinfeng's face instantly turned deathly pale. Their chances of survival were truly slim.
One reason she had come this time was to protect the juniors. The other was to gather some treasures, preferably ones with spatial properties. The Qu Clan's Secret Realm was already riddled with damage and desperately needed repairs.
But now, there was no point thinking of any of that. Covering the cultivators' main force as they retreated was her only mission.
"Give this old lady more defense!" she shouted, shaking out a long spear and charging straight at the Asuras without hesitation.
Behind her, a phantom of a long spear abruptly appeared, stretching a full five thousand zhang.
