Chapter 27: Chapter 26
Book I Chapter 26
…
Everyone stopped fighting and their eyes are glued to the darkness inside that broken door. As their eyes shifted to the person on the floor, everyone was stunned.
This is because a black-cloaked man is currently lying on the floor with his chest caved inside his body.
With one look, they could already tell that the guy is already dead.
"This… who dares kill our people?!" asked the man wearing a lion mask.
Tap! Tap! Tap!
The sound of calm footsteps reverberated in the air and attracted the ears of the people in that hall.
But then the sound stopped and the dim light in the hall showed a figure standing in the middle of the broken-down door of the hall.
Right now, Hyuna's heart is pumping really fast as her adrenaline is making her senses so sharp and her feeling excited.
She has already tasted the experience of battling other people which gives her confidence to be able to do better as she applies the skills and techniques she has learned.
So far, she has not applied her range domain control as she's been trying the combination of those techniques from the library.
But upon seeing the many opponents in front of her, she could not help but want to fully utilize this opportunity to experience mass battle.
According to what she had read, experiencing true battle would surely open one's eyes to the truest and pure principle of combat.
Of course, mortal combat is different from immortal combat that uses spells and spirit Qi. Right now, what she wanted to do is to immerse herself in the truest sense of combat using the technique she has learned.
However, when the people inside the hall saw that the one who apparently is wearing the same black cloth, the assailants heaved a sigh of relief, while the Man family people are now very nervous.
"Hehe… It's one of our people…"
"This job is now done… Hey, small guy… What happened back there?" asked one of the black-cloaked guys.
Hyuna did not reply and just slowly removes the hood on her head and then the cloak.
Though the light is dim, the people inside could see that the one standing is actually a woman. They could now see the curve of her body under the black clothing.
"That is not one of us… There are no women among our group members…" someone said as he takes a step back.
"Fools! Get her!" shouted the man in a lion mask.
Hearing their leader's command, the people suddenly rush toward Hyuna with their weapons in hand.
After checking them, Hyuna did not say anything and just showed a faint smile under her mask.
"These people have a lot of openings…" Hyuna thought as she takes a step forward.
She met with one of the men who suddenly slash his blade to her waist.
Hyuna did bother to dodge but instead quickly closes the gap between them. She then grabs the hand holding the blade and followed the man's momentum as she slams the man onto the ground.
Bam!
She did not stop there as she moved to the next target which is the second closes person.
Her mind has already calculated the distance and the position she would be taking. Before that man could react, her leg has already extended and delivered a powerful roundhouse kick.
Pak!
The toes of her shoes suddenly hardened as a rune activated. The kick is like a brick being hurled in a very fast manner throwing the man in the air while he loses consciousness.
The next guy was able to attack, and he slashes her neck. But Hyuna's followed the flow of her movement and ended back to back with the man.
Before that guy could react, she has already grabbed his neck and her body rose to up and she ended up planting a kick in his face.
As another one attacked, she kicked hard sending the back of that man's head to hit the attacking person's face.
Pwaaak!
Her figure agilely tumbles in the air like a cat as she goes in and out of each person in a black hooded cloak.
Meanwhile, the rest of the people of the Man family also began fighting with the other black-cloaked men.
The casualty began to increase but more and more of the black-cloaked men fall by Hyuna's hand.
"Damn you… bitch!" shouted the man in a lion mask.
He did not hesitate anymore and quickly charged at Hyuna.
He is a Body Refinement stage cultivator, so his physique and speed are above that of a normal person.
As he reaches where Hyuna is, he quickly extended his palm forward.
He did not want to end this battle with the woman. He wanted to capture her and torture her because of what she has done to his men.
Killing his men in front of him is an upfront challenge to his power and authority. Hence he wanted this woman to feel his rage.
His hand suddenly glowed as he covered it with Qi.
Hyuna has already noticed this sneak attack and quickly maneuvered her body to dodge the man's movement.
As she leaned backward, the glowing hand of the man passes right in front of her leaning body.
She then suddenly grabs the arm of the man and her whole body clings to him.
With sudden weight caught the man off guard and he falls tumbling to the ground.
Hyuna on the other hand suddenly planted a foot on that man's face while falling.
Pa!
Though he was not hurt, the man was thoroughly enraged by the embarrassing situation he was in.
He was a cultivator for crying out loud, and he was humiliated by a mere mortal. And not only is his opponent a mere mortal, but that figure is also truly a woman.
Her slightly soft body and that womanly scent of hers made his blood boil in both rage and lust.
"Hehe… Oh, you truly did it now… I think I'm going to catch you and then violate you… That is the only way my anger could subside…" he growled as he suddenly pounces on Hyuna.
This time, his speed increased significantly as his face was distorted under his mask.
But for some unknown reason, his opponent also suddenly increased her speed.
Pa! Crash!!!
He did not see it coming.
It was another foot that came from out of nowhere and it shattered the mask he is wearing.
"Hihi… Is this all you've got?" Hyuna teases as she rolled on the ground and suddenly springs back up in an elegant manner.
Right now, the battle has thoroughly shown her how she could use the strength of the rune she secretly installed on her inner clothing.
The rune she is using right now, are support runes, which could support her body. The reason why she has to deactivate her male transformation is that it would greatly impede the effect of the support runes.
Actually, she is already practicing another set of rune arrays that could be used in tandem with her transformation rune array. However, that array is far more complex and she needed time to finish them.
So for now, she could only swap the use of the physical support rune and the physical transformation rune as she is not that well-versed in using runes yet.
Right now, she is still a Rune Maker Elementary stage, so her accuracy in making runes is still at the basic. Plus the number of runes she could write perfectly is still limited.
However, this battle has taught her many lessons. One of them is how to battle a Body Refining Realm.
She knew that her attacks are useless and could not hurt her opponent. But that does not mean she could not annoy the guy to death, right?
Suddenly, the man's hand went to his waist and unsheathes his sword.
"You've done it now! You have truly angered me… I will now kill you… you bitch!" the man growled as he charges at Hyuna.
Seeing the man's face she could not help but comment in her mind.
"This guy's face does not differ from the mask he is wearing… truly ferocious…"
As the blade of that guy swings to her throat with almost perfect accuracy, Hyuna could not help but also draws the blade on her side which she has sheathed a while ago.
The way she unsheathes her sword is a bit fast.
Clang!!!
The two blades connected and created a loud sound in the air and sparks flew all over the place.
That one clash alone has pushed both combatants to take a few steps back.
"This… this is impossible. How could you push me back?" the man muttered in disbelief.
"You are but a mere mortal!" he growled as he once again attacked.
But Hyuna moved her body as if following a pattern.
"Sharp Thorn defense…" she muttered.
After saying the words, her mind has already formed the patterns on how she could do the defensive technique which should have utilized spirit Qi.
However, she just used her imagination on how it could be done without Qi.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The echoing of their blades created sparks in the air and those unlucky few who were caught in their battle were cut down by their blades.
In one look, one could think that the woman is actually losing as she would always be pushed back by the power of the guy.
And as the two continuously clashes their blades, the expression of the man turned uglier by the minute.
After multiple clashes, the man suddenly took a step back and one could see fury on his face.
He could not help but glare at the woman while trying to catch his breath.
"How… How could this be possible!" he muttered while he gritted his teeth in anger.
