Chapter 14 - Butterflies With No Wings

The nocked arrow was then released causing a small sonic boom. The arrow then moved at an unbelievable speed. With Yu Sheng improved vision however, the speed at which the arrow travel towards the masked girl couldn't escape his eyes.

The masked girl seeing the arrow coming towards her raised her hand slight. Soon after the arrow was firmly grasped in her hand.

"Is this all you can muster?" She sneered as she snap the arrow in two.

The snapped arrow was actually created by Yu An mental power. If it didn't hit the target fine, but if it was destroyed it could cause her mind to become chaotic, causing major headaches.

As the arrow was snapped in half Yu An expression became pale, but she didn't let it bother her. She gave her two sisters a side gaze before nocking another arrow.

The two sisters seeing this nodded at each other. Yu Yan raised her sword and rushed at the masked girl. With Yu Ai right behind her heels the only thing she had to worry about was her front.

As she approach the masked girl her sword glowed white as she chant a song. This song is called Deadly Blade. A two note song that can enhance a sword sharpness by two times. Every time she repeats the note the sharpness will stack limiting to sixteen times.

This battle note might sound great, but the amount of concentration needed to chant the song is a hefty amount. The moment the song is interrupted is the moment the effect goes away.

Only ten meters away from the masked girl, Yu Ai began chanting as well. When Yu Yan was only five meters away from the masked girl she released the arrow. This time the arrow flew so fast Yu Sheng couldn't believe his eyes. He was unable to keep up with how fast the arrow was moving!

The arrow arrive right on time. Yu Yan swing her sword at the masked girl left while the arrow was pointing at her right. At this point Yu Yan was confident she wouldn't be able to split her attention to catch the arrow and dodge her sword at the same time.

She smiled arrogantly as she look into the masked girl eyes only to see that they were calm, very calm. The masked girl then raised both her hands.

Her hand caught the arrow once again while her other hand moves as quick as lightning towards Yu Yan neck. Yu Yan seeing this was shocked. 'Are you not afraid of my sword killing you?!' She shouted in her mind. Her sword was only a couple of inches away from her neck, but just as her sword was about to reach her, the masked girl hands was almost on her neck!

She hesitated, Yu Yan could see that the masked girl put a lot of strength in her fingers. Along with her calm eyes that looked like everything was in her control she swiftly changed her sword angle to swing at her hand.

However, that brief hesitation caused the masked girl to chuckle. When the sharpness of the blade wasn't pointing at her she used her other hand to forcefully push it away. The sword was then seen flying out of Yu Yan hand. The masked girl hand already clenching her neck.

Yu Yan was shocked. She could not understand how her plan backfired.

"Let go of my sister!" Yu Ai seeing everything go south held her shield planning to bash into the masked girl.

The masked girl looked at Yu Ai and moved Yu Yan in front. Yu Ai was then stunned. If she were to bash into the masked girl Yu Yan would receive the full force while the masked girl leave unscathed.

An arrow came flying towards the masked girl, but all she did was move Yu Yan in front of the arrow. The arrow then disappear just as it was about to hit Yu Yan in the heart.

Yu An coughed up a mouthful of blood. This was the third time her arrow was destroyed and this time it was she who destroyed it causing the headaches to worsen. If she were to afford another one to be destroyed then she might just pass out from the pain.

The masked girl seeing how the two became docile after catching Yu Yan stared at Yu Yaojing and asked. "Is this the pride of the yinyue race? How pathetic, they became scared kittens after one of them is captured."

Watching everything unfold Yu Yaojing eyes were already cold. When the masked girl added fuel to the fire her killing intent was already leaking out.

The spectators eyes were also threatening.

When against other yinyue's, even some elders the triplets battle power is flawless. Sadly, they never faced a situation where one of them was captured.

With her neck in the masked girl grasped, Yu Yan could hardly breath. Still, even though she was in pain her cold eyes never left the masked girl face.

"Hmm? You still have some willpower left in you?" Staring into those cold eyes the masked girl suddenly came up with an idea. She walked towards Yu Yan sword and held it into her free hand. She then stabbed the sword into Yu Yan waist.

Yu Yan let out a low growl. She shut her eyes in pain as she tried desperately to take out the sword that was imprinted deep into her body.

The masked girl then let go of her and kicked her in the face. Sending her flying a couple meters away.

Yu Yan quickly pulled out the sword while holding her wound. She have never felt so humiliated in her life. Her eyes brimming with pride and confidence fade away. She have been defeated. But just because she was defeated didn't mean she was going to give up. She chant a healing song.

Unfortunately, the masked girl wasn't done with her yet. She appear beside her and held her hair upward. Then with the force of an elephant she raise her knee and kicked Yu Yan in the face. Each kick devasting than the last.

All of this happened in merely two seconds. Before Yu Ai and Yu An could react Yu Yan was already beaten into a pulp. Her beautiful face filled with many bruises.

"DIE!!!" Yu Ai yelled. Seeing her sister's sorry state she entered a frenzy. She appear behind the masked girl and raised her shield.

The masked girl realizing that Yu Ai became crazy side step the shield. The shield them came thumbling down creating a echo in the ground.

Noticing she missed her target Yu Ai was prepared to launch another attack but when she turn around the masked girl was no where to be seen.

"Looking for me?" A voice came whispering behind Yu Ai. The masked girl open her palm and grabbed Yu Ai by the head. With a loud bang, Yu Ai entire face was plastered to the ground, blood leaking down from her forehead.

With that one exchange she passed out. The masked girl turn around to stare at Yu An. Her deadpan eyes locked onto her.

Yu An gulped. Unlike her two sisters she knew her limits. She knew she wasn't as strong as them so when she saw both of them get taken down so easily her confidence vanished.

She closed her eyes and felt her mental power and realized she had just enough to create one more arrow. Nocking her arrow again she aimed at the masked girl while chanting.

As she chant flames manifest under her feet. A ring of fire was created that rose all the way to her waist. It served as a shield, but that wasn't the only thing it could do.

As she chant her arrow began blazing. Beads of sweat ran down her forehead as she used all of her mental strength in this attack.

"She actually managed to learn the Furious Arrow!" Yu Jing exclaim in excitement. This battle note is a three note song that could turn the situation. Its power doesn't mainly come from a persons mental power, but the rage inside them.

A couple minutes later everyone could hear the bellows of an angry god. With the amount of anger and frustration bottled up inside of Yu An the manifestation of a god actually appear behind her.

A god actually chose to help Yu Ai in this desperate moment. No one knew why a god would be watching a fight that could be considered child's play. They simply watch as the god also crook an arrow into its bow.

Whoosh!

Yu Ai let go of the arrow, at the same time the god arrow was released.

The two arrows flew together creating a vortex of spinning flames. The heat emitting of them managed to melt the stage floor.

When the arrow was just 10 feet away from the masked girl it exploded. Flames dance and smoke spread out from the explosion.

Yu An coughed up another mouthful of blood, her eyes struggling to keep open. With her 4th arrow destroyed she should have fainted right after, but her will power allow her to keep going.

She walked over to Yu Yan and Yu Ai and chant a healing spell. Their wounds slowly recover, but they were still in an unconscious state.

Yu An was confident that her last attack would kill the masked girl. After all, it was strengthen by the power of a god.

Two years ago Yu An made a contract with a god. She neither knows the god name or his purpose, but she still accepted it.

The only reason she did was because the god told her she would face a situation where she needs the god help.

And that situation was today. She was truly glad she accept the contract.

However, before she could breathe a sigh of relief a figure appear behind her, her hollowed voice ringing in her ears.

"At the end of the day the gods themselves are restricted by the laws of our world." The masked girl said as she shook her head, "No matter what we do in the future their power cannot do anything to us."

"How did you-"

"How did I survive?" The masked girl place her hand on Yu An shoulder before sneering, "Do you really think you could bring out the true power of a god? With your weak, pathetic, useless strength how could an attack like that possible be a threat to me?"

The masked girl words made Yu An expression paler. 'Weak.... pathetic.... useless....' She repeated those words. Soon after her pride and confidence fade away from her eyes.

The masked girl noticing her trick work sighed. "I was planning to beat you up into submission, but since I have already broken into your mind it doesn't matter anymore.

Putting pressure in her hands she crushed Yu An shoulder. Soon after she also fainted.

"She defeated the triplets with just her brute strength..." Yu Sheng muttered seeing all of this. The triplets that were known as the strongest juniors of their generation were beaten so easily.

This was as expected though. The masked girl is already over 200 years old, but still even if she were to limit her strength by when she was 20 wouldn't she still easily beat them?

Clap clap clap!

Suddenly everyone gaze move from the masked girl onto who was clapping. Yu Yaojing clap loudly as she looked at the masked girl with a faint smile. "Very good, very good!" She shouted praises with her eyes locked onto the masked girl.

"To come into our tribe and show such strength and power against our juniors is truly admirable. It's to the point that I can hardly control myself from killing you!" Yu Yaojing laughed manically, her killing intent focusing on the masked girl.

The masked girl stood still under the pressure of Yu Yaojing killing intent. Black hands soon crawl from underneath the ground, firmly locking onto her feet.

When Yu Huan said, "only the wise would know to never mess with a devil" she meant it. The current Yu Yaojing didn't resemble her usual self. Instead her eyes turn pitch black and her aura was chaotic. It was as if she was possessed.

The guards that came with the masked girl took out their weapons, launching themselves at Yu Yaojing. Ice form out of no where, creating an armor for them.

"Worthless ants!" Yu Yaojing seeing these guards dare approach her screamed, her hair blew in the air and the nine remaining men were then chopped into many pieces, blood scattered around the Imperial Stage.

"Yu Yaojing...!" Yu Jing was about to step forward to stop Yu Yaojing, but Yu Yingzi came in her way.

"Why are you stopping me!" Yu Jing shouted at her sister with a worried expression as she watch Yu Yaojing float down towards the frozen masked girl.

"The mistress has loss her ways. Ever since she fell in love with that man her entire composure changed. The once devilish, ruthless and evil mistress became a weak, kind and pathetic loser. Only by losing something precious to her can she revert to her previous ways." Yu Yingzi explained.

"Are you crazy?! If she becomes a devil again there's no turning back!" After hearing her explanation her worry turned into fear. Only she knew how frighten Yu Yaojing was.

"I also don't want to see the Mistress become a devil again, but this is war. The Central Domain have already express their will to take over the world. Without power there's no way we will be able to stop them."

"What we need right now isn't a god. What we need is a devil to turn the situation."
