The Martial Dao's First Battle
Half a month later, Shen Ge arrived at the teleportation array he had used before. He put in Spirit Stone to test it, but the result made his face turn gloomy.
The formation still hasn't been repaired!
After a long silence, Shen Ge sighed softly and said, "Master, I really want to hate you. If only you weren't my master."
Three months later, on the official road of Heavenly Mountain Ravine in Wan Feng Commandery, a caravan was slowly moving forward. Three cultivators at the Qi Refinement Eighth Layer rode horses to lead the way, while some elderly people followed behind, holding the reins and moving forward slowly.
A short while later, a huge rock suddenly rolled down in front of the convoy, making a loud noise.
Logically, the horses should have been in disarray by now, but they weren't; the horses remained motionless as the old men led them.
At this moment, a flying sword flew out from the nearby forest and in the blink of an eye, it had already attacked the three cultivators.
"Oh no! It's a Foundation Establishment Realm expert! Run!"
One of them threw out a talisman that transformed into a shield to block the flying sword, and the three of them immediately turned and ran.
At this point, the convoy became increasingly chaotic, but upon closer observation, one could discern order within the chaos.
"Hey, your equipment's been upgraded this time. It actually managed to block one of my swords."
Just then, a mocking voice came from the woods, followed immediately by the whooshing sound of something cutting through the air.
Five people in total, each riding a low-grade Law Artifact, chased after the three who had fled.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, those mortals are yours to handle. Now that they've seen what we look like, we can't leave them alive."
The five of them looked completely nonchalant, as if these people were already dead in their eyes.
At that moment, a stone the size of a bowl hurtled towards the speaker with a loud whooshing sound, its speed even surpassing that of the flying sword from before.
The person was caught off guard and had no time to dodge, so they simply activated their protective aura to defend themselves.
The stone struck the protective shield, the immense force shattering it into powder. However, the person was also badly injured, knocked off their feet.
"Oh no! Those mortals are strange! Be careful!"
With a warning, the other four immediately activated their protective shields and flew upwards to try and create distance, but unfortunately, they didn't have the ability to travel hundreds of meters in an instant. Once they entered the attack range, it would be difficult to escape.
The seven elders below were now surging with Qi and Blood, their previous appearances completely gone, replaced by six young men and one woman, their Qi and Blood like dragons, and the surrounding snow melted away.
A woman in white drew her bow with both hands, nocked an arrow, and shot it out, piercing through the protective Spiritual Qi of one of the men and shooting him down like a bird.
These bows and arrows are no ordinary objects; they are made from materials used to refine Law Artifact, which is why the arrows did not shatter like stones.
"Damn it, what are these guys? They're just mortals, so why are they threatening us!" Fellow Daoist Wang cursed as he ascended.
At that moment, three arrows shot towards him, startling him so much that he quickly used his flying sword to defend himself.
He had initially thought he would die there, but he suddenly realized that the arrows were far less powerful than the flying swords. His initial thought of escaping vanished, replaced by boundless rage.
"Stop running, all of you! These guys aren't very strong; they're no match for us in a head-on fight. Let's go! Kill them!"
The other two naturally noticed something unusual as well. They, several Foundation Establishment Realm experts, were actually terrified and fled for their lives by a group of mortals. They felt embarrassed and, more importantly, filled with rage. If they didn't kill them, how could they face anyone in the cultivation Immortal Realm?
Therefore, they all made Hand Seals Law Technique.
"Scatter and be careful!" Wan Feng shouted coldly, then immediately leaped onto a boulder about ten meters high, drew his bow, and fired an arrow. The entire movement was fluid and seamless.
The other six scattered and continued their attack. The woman flew to the side of the man who had fallen earlier. He tried to fly up again, but suddenly the woman grabbed his neck and crushed it with tremendous force.
The man was already dead, but the woman swiftly drew a dagger and pierced his skull. The entire movement was extremely fast, without any unnecessary actions.
"Boom!"
Several fireballs struck the spot where the people had been standing, blasting a large crater in the ground, but none of them were injured.
"Again!"
At the top of the tree, Fellow Daoist Wang looked at the arrow with disdain and laughed. Then, he swung his flying sword, and a Sword Qi directly slashed the arrow away.
At the same time, he released his grip, and the flying sword flew out on its own, transforming into a streak of light that rushed towards Wan Feng.
Seeing this, Wan Feng quickly threw away the longbow in his hand, drew the broadsword from his back, and slashed. He had no sword intent, only a blood-dragon-like Qi and Blood wrapped around the blade.
Upon impact, my flying sword was knocked away, and Wan Feng was also sent flying backward by the immense force.
"You've got some skill." Fellow Daoist Wang sneered, flicking his finger, and the flying sword that had been knocked away immediately regained its footing and charged towards Wan Feng again.
In mid-air, Wan Feng had nowhere to borrow strength or exert force, so he was completely helpless against the flying sword.
However, he showed no panic whatsoever, as if the flying sword could not harm him at all; his composure was admirable.
With a light tap of his toes, a large rock that had appeared beneath his feet provided him with leverage. He leaped upwards, narrowly avoiding the flying sword just as it was about to strike.
At the treetop, Fellow Daoist Wang's face was gloomy. Missing his attack was a minor matter, but the fact that these people, whose identities were unknown, were cooperating so well was worrying.
Moreover, not only was their teamwork seamless, but their timing was even better than his. In less than three breaths, they reacted quickly, providing the other person with a point of leverage. Fellow Daoist Wang asked himself if he could have reacted like that.
The two men looked at each other in shock, so much so that their movements slowed down slightly.
At that moment, six arrows flew towards the two men. They were slow, but the men below were not. They seized the fleeting opportunity and launched an attack.
This scene made Fellow Daoist Wang's expression darken even more. These people were simply monsters; their control over the timing of the battle was even stronger than that of those of them who Divine Sense.
At this point, he was already starting to consider giving up.
"Damn it, he actually launched a sneak attack!"
Fortunately, the two reacted quickly and blocked the arrow with Law Technique before it hit them.
Even so, they were both filled with lingering fear. If they hadn't been fully Divine Sense, they might be dead by now.
"Damn it, how can these people be so weird? They clearly don't have any spiritual power, so why are they so strong? What's that surging around them? Qi and Blood? It's way too damn concentrated!" one person cursed. "This is completely illogical!"
