Meanwhile, the lady was face to face with the leader, who only looked at her coldly, without making any movement, apparently, he did not take her very seriously.
Suddenly, the man turned his gaze to the distance, where he could see the exchange of blows from Abel and his subordinates.
"Eh, what an amazing genius you have found, only with a cultivation level at the martial disciple stage does he have the power to defend himself against 2 peak martial soldiers, hahahaha, don't tell me that child is your hope for revenge?"
Hearing this, the lady's complexion darkened as she glared at the man in front of her, but said nothing, lunged towards the man, and quickly attacked with quick blows with her halberd.
The man only scoffed at this as he calmly dodged every blow she used with his arms crossed, obviously she was no match for the man, who seemed to only be playing with her.
Noticing this, the lady gritted her teeth as the hatred in her gaze only grew stronger, suddenly, a rather peculiar aura emanated from the halberd, causing a faint gray glow to appear over it and concentrating on the tip of is.
At first, the man just scoffed, thinking that the lady was just using some random technique, so he took a bit of distance to evade the blow, but the sight that happened next astonished him.
Just at the moment that she backed away to dodge, a projection from the halberd she was using from her detached from her attack and she headed right in the direction of where the man was standing, hitting him squarely with no room to dodge.
Upon receiving the blow, a large amount of blood emanated from the man's body, in addition to the impact and force of the attack, they sent him flying several meters, destroying everything where he passed.
At this sight, all the hatred that was in the lady's gaze disappeared, instead, a mischievous smile appeared on her face, betraying her true state of mind.
On the other hand, although in a rather sorry state, the man slowly got up, took a pill to his mouth and took it, shortly after, his wounds were healing, while he watched with a tinge of fear in his eyes at the lady in front of him.
Seeing his eyes free from previous hatred, the man understood that he had been played all this time, so with fury in her gaze as she gnashed her teeth, he said:
"I did not expect someone like you to understand the spear intention, but if you think that only with that you will be able to stop me, you are dreaming, maybe if you still had your previous cultivation along with your spear intention, you could make me run away, but just as you are now, you are just a bigger insect."
Saying this, the man made a somewhat rusty saber appear on his hand and quickly lunged in the direction of the lady, who, seeing the saber on the man's hand, had a look of understanding on her face, before also attacking with his halberd.
After an exchange of blows, where thanks to her lady's spear intention she managed to level the balance a little against the man in front of her, the lady approached as she launched an upward blow with her halberd and said:
"There's only one person under that damn bastard who masters the '9 cuts to break the cycle' technique, up to the 5th cut, isn't there, old Han?"
Hearing the name "Han", the man in front of her showed a tinge of surprise in her eyes, letting her guard down for a moment, which the lady used again to land another blow, this time straight for the man's chest. .
By the time the blow was in front of him, the man coldly snorted before the temperature around him began to drop while, with a wave of his hand, he summoned a wall of ice that cleanly blocked the blow from the lady standing there. imbued with his spear intent.
Seeing that her blow was blocked, the lady backed away quickly, observing the ice wall carefully, she only sighed in resignation.
"Looks like I got it right, right, Elder Han? The fact that he used that technique in conjunction with ice intent proves it."
The man in front of her said nothing, only her gaze became colder, as did the temperature around him, even a few snowflakes appeared around her.
"Since you already guessed who I am, then I will finish this quickly, I did not want to use my ice intention, since it would give me away easily, but given that we are in such a remote place, I do not think anyone suspects that it was me who ended up with your life."
Right after saying this, the man raised his saber with both hands as he prepared to attack.
The lady for her part did not say anything else, while pointing her halberd in front of the man with a rather serious expression, she knew that until now, the man in front of her had not gone with everything because he did not want to leave traces of his presence, but it seemed that I would no longer hesitate.
"This situation is worse than I expected, judging by his posture, he must be about to launch THAT saber cut, even with my intention to spear, I will be seriously injured if I do not release the seal, but..."
The lady hesitated a bit, she knew that if she released the seal that was imposed on her she would regain part of her previous cultivation and it would be easy for her to defeat the man in front of her, but doing so would bring her serious consequences, so even now she doubted about it.
It was at that moment that they both felt a huge rising aura, where a strange qi seemed to have erupted like an erupting volcano.
Amazed by this sudden development, they both turned their gazes in the direction of the source, only to notice that it was the place where Abel and the other 2 assassins were.
Realizing this, the lady almost screamed, she had completely forgotten about Abel while she was fighting with the man, furthermore she realized that her growing aura was quite familiar to her.
"That aura resembles Abel's, but why then is the aura cultivation stage only at the 5th level of body refinement, unless…"
Coming to a shocking conclusion, the lady was about to go find the boy when a very intense murderous gaze appeared behind her, followed by her in an extremely furious voice.
"Hahahaha, I didn't expect the brat you recruited to be that level of genius huh, so that kid is your trump card to challenge the young master? Damn bitch, after all he did for you, that's how do you pay him?"
Hearing those words, the lady's expression turned gloomy, but she didn't say anything, as she stood in front of the man, blocking the direction where Abel's aura was coming from.
Seeing this, the man became even more enraged, the icy aura that surrounded him became more prominent, freezing everything a few inches from him, who after a thought, began to laugh in a maniacal way saying:
"HAHAHAHAHAHA, only your attitude makes me sick, since I saw you, I told the young master not to get involved with you, but he ignored me, this time, I myself will end the plague that was created, but first, I will end that brat, it's too dangerous for a genius like him to go on living. "
Immediately after saying this, the man increased his speed to the limit, leaving behind the lady who had a stunned look on her face.
"Damn, that damn old man didn't use his full speed before, it seems I have no choice but to release the seal."
With a resigned look on her face, the lady made her decision, although at first she did not care much about Abel's life or death, after seeing that only at the 5th level of refinement of the body could she face maximum martial soldiers, she decided that he was worth saving right now, even at the cost of backlash.
Thus, with a thought of her, a strange symbol appeared on her forehead, they seemed intricate black runes that pulsed like bulging veins, giving a hideous appearance to the lady's face.
Little by little, the black runes on her forehead began to turn white, and it was only when a quarter of the entire seal was covered by a whitish color that the lady stopped.
Immediately afterwards, the lady's cultivation skyrocketed, going from late martial soldier to early martial master, then intermediate, all the way to late martial master level, which was when she stopped.
The lady felt the power to regain her cultivation and nodded in satisfaction, before disappearing from where she was.
Back in Abel's aura eruption, her cultivation began to increase at an incredible speed, as she focused on accumulating as much qi as possible before making another breakthrough.
Luckily for Abel, his opponents were so stunned at the sight in front of them that they didn't attack right away, giving him the time and focus he needed.
5th level early body refinement, 5th level intermediate, 5th level late, 6th level, 6th level early, 6th level medium, 6th level late...
As Abel tried his best to vastly increase his cultivation, still concentrating on doing it the proper way, condensing the amount of qi so that he could store more before making his breakthrough, he couldn't help but feel his body begin to feel discomfort, it seemed that if he continued like this, his physical body would soon reach its limit.
"Damn, I had thought that with the help of the fire lion's blood and purple thunder I could reach the martial disciple stage, but the way things are going, it seems that the 9th level of refinement of the body will be my limit."
Realizing this, Abel wanted to curse, but knew it was useless, so after a thought, he stopped circulating his 9-elemental divine assimilation art, stopping the extraction of the heavenly qi, stopping his cultivation level at the 8th level of body refinement.
Feeling the power of this new level of cultivation, Abel turned his gaze towards the assassin who had been injured earlier and found himself weaker than the other.
"I'll start with you then."
Immediately after he finished saying this, another "Abel" appeared in front of this assassin, who had no time to react when his head was cleanly cut from his body, just like that, Abel had killed one of his opponents.
Upon realizing this, the other man panicked, exchanging glances between the two "Abel", only to realize that one was just an afterimage.
Seeing the panic in his opponent's gaze, Abel was about to finish off the next one when a murderous glare made him stop abruptly as he broke into a cold sweat.
