Long Yu waited patiently he knew, in a straight out fight he could never defeat 'Kani', especially when she is surrounded by her followers, strongest among them being rank 1st Wanxiang Adept, so the only way is to attack her and hope to assassinate her. The others are tired they are not in optimal shape but, if the head honcho is mortally injured Chamelie who is currently standing in front of her can kill her immediately the ensuing chaos is enough to kill others.
So he waited patiently hidden among the others who were suppressed by the aura of a rank 6TH Wanxiang Adept, but normal attack won't work so he closed his eyes as he tried to remember the feelings he felt when he was angry with Cheeta, the anger he felt, soon his blood boiled in anger as he wanted to lash out in anger a memory long since forgotten arose from within as the ancient mantra resounded in his head,
"I am the beginning, I am the end,
I am creator, I am destroyer,
I am God, I am Devil,
I am the blessed one, I am the cursed one,
I am merciful, I am merciless,
I am the epitome of everything good and evil,
Worship me, hate me, curse me, love me,
I was, I am, I will always be the SOVEREIGN,
None is above me, everyone is below me,
Through me I bring others salvation,
Through me I bring others annihilation,
As I was, I am, I will always be the SOVEREIGN."
His terrifying aura erupted and as he opened his eyes he saw Kani had her undivided attention on Chamelie, one of her legs raised up touching and caressing her chin, she knew she had won the no one among all this fools had strength to oppose her but in her haste and joy of victory she forgot the saying 'mantis stalks the cicada unaware of the oriole behind', a perfect opportunity for which Long Yu had been waiting for, without further ado he sped up like an arrow released from the bow. He aimed at the part between the head and abdomen of the spider, 'Joyous Rain version 28' was released but this time it was different did not release the power of a pseudo-rank 8 but a genuine mid-rank 8 skill promoted due to him releasing the might of his Divine Body, which this time unlike before cancelled the effect of aura which suppressed the others, as they saw the attack on Kani, and decided to back up Long Yu by attacking the other spiders.
The attack cut through Kani as if she was butter under hot knife, a terrible pain erupted as he body was almost bisected into two, she turned her head slightly and came face to face with her assailant, a small human with heterochromatic draconic eyes which were dazzling like twin gems glaring at her. Long Yu did not give her time to react his movement looked like he was skating on ice, he sent his flying daggers, five of them penetrated her eyes making way towards her brain as the sixth and last one cut of the throat of the human shaped appendage of hers rendering her poisoning abilities null and void. Kani even if taken by surprise was still a beast of rank 6th Wanxiang Adept an entire realm above him, as she lashed out with her legs fast, so fast that Long Yu had barely enough time to guard him with his sword, he was flung in the air as he hit the wall hard, a sickening crunch filled his ears as he tasted blood, 'No not my ribs again.', as he broke his ribs, his arms shaken and numb from the impact, as he dropped to the floor with labored breathing, his entire body screaming in pain from the impact which he was sure if he had not activated that mysterious power he would have died.
A shout came to his ears, "Now kill them for our freedom, for revenge, for our kidnapped brethren", he looked up to see Chamelie mashing the head of Kani to a pulp with her mace, she really took the opportunity provided by Long Yu to the fullest, the smirk on her face as she send the brain matter and blood flying around while she herself covered in blood was nightmarish, but he did not have time to admire Chamelie's handiwork as he used 'Floating Cloud Steps' to barely move from his previous position which was now pierced by different spider which were killed instantly under the level 5 Sword Force, the spiders were only peak Zifu Disciple, who were affected by Long Yu's Divine body's aura even if they somehow moved under compulsion caused by anger froze unable to move as they were butchered by his Sword Force. Long Yu stood shakily normally he would have jumped into the fight tearing his enemies but now he was injured such movements were too much when he even breathing was difficult only through sheer will power and because of the Divine body he still moved. He quickly recalled his daggers as he used them and his sword as he tried to move from the frontline to safety. He was having difficulty trying to maintain the terrifying aura which caused his opponents to freeze.
For any cultivators a single moment could decide the life and death as many spiders fell when they froze under the presence of his aura. He was using 'Divine Eyes' and 'Buddha's Mind', in full force in order to dodge but his injured state made it difficult as he was pinned to the ground from behind by a Spider of rank 1st Wanxiang Adept, its leg went through his shoulder, it was very painful to Long Yu as one of the cons of heightened senses came into play the pain was unbearable, even if the armor he wore would be able to resist a few strike from an immortal preventing it from getting destroyed, it did not prevent him from getting injured from blunt damage or in case of poison which seeped inside through opening of his armor, as he felt his shoulder bone breaking which caused tears to form in his eyes, "Die", he heard a shout but no killing blow came as the spider which attacked him was bisected by Cheeta's war axe. He picked Long Yu and threw him towards the nearest Shadow Wolves member Han, "take him to safety", he bellowed out. The feeling of being flung and caught coupled with his techniques took a toll on his body, he began to spasm a little as blood flowed from his nostrils his blood shot eyes rolled up as he fainted while fresh tears of blood came from his eyes.
Han: "LONG YU!!!!", he was scared out of his mind seeing his condition, the child seemed almost invincible in his mind with all the stunt he was pulling but now his broken bleeding body lying on his arms, he hastily retreated with Long Yu to safety as others protected his back.
A bleary eyed child looked around trying to figure out where he was, as he tried to sit he felt terrible pain all over his body as the memories of last few hours came to play.
A soothing voice came to his ears, "Long Yu easy there, you should take it easy and rest you are injured.", as the voice spoke a plethora of other voices and shouting came to his ears, which brought with it terrible headache, "Please keep QUITE!", he shouted out while trying to block those voice. He opened his eyes properly as he saw concerned faces crying faces of various people who had surrounded him, "What happened??" he could not help but asked.
Ruth: "We won kid, we won after you assassinated the Spider Empress, her armies morale plummeted not only that the aura you released helped us gain an upper hand as we slew her army generals swiftly, but with last of her strength she threw you towards her army where you fell deep inside the enemy territory and when we managed to reach you, you were injured badly as you tried to return back, Han carried you out to safety but you passed out from your injuries. Well you have multiple broken bones and were bleeding profusely from your nose and eyes."
Long Yu took a deep breath as he heard everything, he will have to stop relying on 'Divine Eyes' and 'Buddha's Mind', even if it may have saved his life it also caused his near death, not to mention the terrible after effects he is still feeling. "Please someone give me my backpack and help me sit up."
Veronica and Tina helped him sit up as the put cushions behind him so that he can sit without problem, his whole body ached, his left arm was immovable, and he had a terrible headache and breathing problem.
His backpack was held in front of him as he used his right hand to search for some pills, which he popped in his mouth, a cool pleasant feeling spread through his throat followed by a numb pain, and a lot of popping sound as his bones set themselves and healed rapidly in front of others and within a few minutes he was as good as new except his eyes which were still blood shot.
Long Yu: "Ah, now I am perfectly fine, what about you guys are you alright?"
Bashista: "Do not worry kid our team members are all safe and sound, but please do not pull such a stunt, although I am grateful to you but still, you could have died if you had missed.", he finished in a scolding manner.
Long Yu: "I am sorry Captain, but ther….", before he could finish a melodious sound came into their eyes, "My my the Hero has awakened."
Long Yu glanced towards the speaker as he saw Chamelie standing near them with a smile on her face, many different members of beast tribes were standing behind her as they looked reverently at Long Yu.
The Shadow Wolves members hastily bowed towards her as Long Yu himself gave a short bow to her.
"So how are you feeling Long Yu?"
Long Yu: "Well after I took 'Bone Repairing', medicines and a pain killer I feel fine, thanking for asking your majesty, May I inquire of your health."
Chamelie: "Well I am happy to hear the man of the honor is doing well, we can't have our 'After Victory Party', without the man of the honor, as for my health please you know I am with borrowed time."
Long Yu:" Your majesty please do not call me a Hero, I do not deserve such honor, you were the one who slayed the Spider Empress, and all I did was getting into trouble."
Chamelie gave a small laugh, "You are too humble child if your sneak attack did not worked so well we would not have won, and as for trouble please it was us whose internal problem caused such problem. But enough of it are you well enough to send off our fallen comrades."
Long Yu just nodded feeling a little sad at the number of unnecessary deaths caused by a person's selfish.
Chamelie: "Well then let us depart", as she offered her hand to Long Yu who had already slugged his trusted backpack on his back, as she led him and his team to the funeral procession of the fallen comrades who fell because of the chaos.
