Chương 64: Raids

A week later in the sage strategy-

In the vast strategy there were many levels which were established on hovering pieces of land. Some small and some large. In the first hovering level there, a group of cultivators was defending a cave entrance of sorts.

This level was small with only a small hillock on it. On this hillock there were a few cave entrances and many caves/tunnels inside. There were initially some giant spider beasts living in this maze structure but they were eradicated by the cultivators long ago. Afterwards, the resources in this mountain were claimed by them. These resources were two types of gems. There was no cultivation value to them but these could be sold for money.

Inside the mountain, many new tunnels had been dug. Cultivators were always digging, mining the gems. This level was territory of prophet Miang's faction. Miang was of the weaker prophets/elders of the Consulate. He was untrusting of others and always deploying spies. He was the one who had taken Ryuga and Joseph into his faction and assigned them spy tasks.

"Hmm it's a bright day." A guard spoke, looking at the sky where a bright sun could be seen. This sun was artificial. It was an energy node of the sage strategy which consumed energy continuously and supplied light and warmth. Apparently, the motive behind it was to sustain and nurture the secluded ecosystem inside the strategy where variety of flora and fauna existed. Different seasons and weathers were also periodically imitated. This sage strategy was truly a masterwork!

"Hmm? What's that?" Another guard pointed at a direction. There several miles away a small cloud of dust could be seen.

"Let me see." The other guard activated an observational technique. Immediately his eyes widened in shock.

"It's the Lion-Dove faction! They are all heading straight here with weapons! This is a raid!" The guard shouted. The other guard immediately rung the emergency bell.

Tong! Tong! Tong! Tong! The loud sound of the bell rang throughout the level. The cultivators mining inside the mountain heard it and stopped their work. They quickly rushed out.

"Is it an attack? Who dares attack us?" A cultivator shouted as he came out of the tunnel. His eyes widened in shock. The defending guards were all sprawled on the ground. Some were bleeding, some were dead.

"This.." The cultivator uttered before he was struck on the neck from behind, falling unconscious.

Rage looked at him and then turned around. The bishops had already arrived and made quick-work of the guards. The main troops were a few minutes away.

Du-dun-dun-dun-dun! Hundreds of footsteps echoed as cultivators poured out like ants coming out of their fort to defend against enemy ants.

Rage sneered and beckoned for his comrades. Aisle, Mao, Dennis, Novo and Ishita gathered together.

"There they are! Kill them!" An enemy bishop roared. He was infuriated but also fearful. He was but one man, even if in Master realm. His opponents…many in equal realm. Defeat was certain. He thus commanded his subordinates to attack the Lion-Dove alliance to create a distraction while he calls for backup. He quickly summoned a token and crushed it.

"Good. Now your corpse will at least get a proper burial. A cold voice came from behind this bishop. He swiftly turned to find Chen standing there in a skyblue attire with a mask on. Only his black eyes were visible.

"You! Trinity!" This unfortunate bishop exclaimed before his head flew in air, rolling and then bouncing on the ground. A blood fountain erupted from his neck. Chen moved swiftly. Ganza appeared. Uriel flew into the air.

Boom! Boom! Babbababoom! Explosions and fire wreaked havoc. The rest of the Lion-Dove alliance arrived as well. A one-sided massacre ensued. The female cultivators were subdued and raped on the spot before taken as captives. Some male cultivators surrendered to Lion-Dove alliance & defected from Miang's faction. Next up, the alliance member flooded into the mountain, looting all the gems and inventory. They also looted the spatial rings of the fallen cultivators. Captives were pulled into Ming Sheng's spatial ring.

"Onto the next level!" Uriel announced.

"Yeahh!!!" Everyone roared.

Shew-shew-shew!! Thousands of cultivators flew into the sky towards the 2nd hovering level in the sky. Xiao's plan of raiding the levels as a nomadic faction had finally been set in motion.

----

The 2nd level was not in control of any faction or alliance. It contained a farm of cultivation aiding herbs. There were three groups stationed there; each belonging to a different faction. They had a tacit understanding and would maintain a non-aggressive stance. The farm on this level was inside a robust dome which in turn was a nurturing and defensive strategy for plants. Its gate would remain closed for three weeks and open for only 1 day. Everyone had only 1 day to extract the plants and reap the benefits. If they indulged in combat, they would be wasting the precious limited time and their fighting might even get carried into the farm where crops might get destroyed. Thus, sensibly, these three groups maintained peaceful stances. They used to cultivate silently. Not today though. Today was the day when the gate opens. Everyone was gathered near it. There were a total of 200 cultivators here. This many were enough to harvest crops. There was no need to deploy too many of them.

Girrrrr….d…! The large gate opened slowly with loud grating sounds. Everyone's gaze shined.

"From here onwards it's all about speed. Let's go and reap more crops than the other two groups!" A bishop spoke to his group. Everyone was filled with competitive zeal.

Fwoosh! Boom! Suddenly a large fireball fell from the sky, causing an explosion at the gate and forcing everyone to retreat swiftly.

"Who dares!?" A bishop growled and looked up at the attacker. "Shit!" He cussed right afterwards. Then he turned on his heel and ran away at an incredible speed, leaving his group behind.

"…" Everyone looked at this sudden turn of events before realizing that the attacker was the famous Trinity leader Uriel! And not just him alone…the remaining members also reached the spot followed by a horde of at least two thousand cultivators!

"…Retreat!" A bishop shouted and fled with his group. The others followed suit. Lion-Dove alliance did not give chase.

"Harvest the crops. Pluck them by the roots." Ganza ordered. They were not going to hold fort here and raiding again after 3 weeks would be unnecessary if they had the roots and seeds. Ganza was an Empyrean doctor along with Ming Sheng. They could totally grow these crops elsewhere or preserve them for later. The other groups did not have any Empyrean doctors thus they had trusted nurturing of the plants with the strategy and not messed with it at all.

The cultivators roared and caused a din, plucking out plants and trees. Many plants were taken out boorishly and were destroyed in the process but still the amount of harvest was plenty to compensate for the minor losses. Soon the Lion-Dove faction left. The farm behind them had been turned into a war-zone. It was completely destroyed with not a single plant left for others.

----

The 3rd level, the 4th level. Lion-Dove faction felt increasingly powerful opposition. The factions and alliances stationed on these levels were stronger with more bishops among them. Additionally, news had already spread like wildfire. Factions' main troops were reinforcing their groups in the different levels to defend against the 'Raiders'. Lion-Dove faction had quickly gotten themselves the title of Raiders by now.

----

The 5th level.

This was a hovering island. It was quite a beautiful land with a floating river, surrounding the floating land. It contained two resource points: one was the river itself. It contained many aquatic beasts which had rapid reproduction speed and their organs and body parts could be used to make medicines and create artefacts. The land had a mountain containing yang coals which was a yang chi resources. The river represented yin; the mountain represented yang. It was perfectly balanced; as all things should be. (XD)

There were two factions in control of this level. Two bishops as representatives.

As the winds blew, the long hair of the female bishop flowed along. She was sitting cross-legged on a rock in the middle of the river. Waves of water were crashing against this rock and splattering upon the woman, wetting her clothes. Her delicate breasts were faintly visible. She had a slender tall body. She was a sweet beauty in her own right with a beautiful sculpted face, fair milky white skin, lovely white eyes and long silky white hair that were waist-long.

High up on the mountain the male bishop was sitting cross-legged too. He had a burly body with thick brown braids on his head. His skin was light brown with reddish hue in it. He was handsome and manly with his upper body bare, revealing a hairy chest and tough muscles.

They were both cultivating peacefully. Slowly they opened their eyes and their gazes met.

"They are here." They communicated without words.

Shew! A fireball flew over and attacked the mountain. Boom! An explosion occurred. Dust and stones blew up and scattered everywhere. There was no response from the male cultivator.

Boom! Boom! Boom! More fireballs rained down and explosions kept occurring. Inside the mountain, the cultivator mining the yang coals were surprised at the tremors that seeped inside. But they shrugged and returned to work. This showed their confidence in their bishop.

Outside, Uriel floated down and looked at the bishop who was still sitting cross-legged.

"Hmph, you're as calm as I've heard." Uriel commended. "Bishop Shihong."

"And you're as fiery as your fame states." Shihong smiled lightly before standing up. "Welcome to 5th level. Shall we contest for claim over the resources here?"

"Hmph, screw that. I just want to fight with you." Uriel spoke and flames burned all over his body. "Come!"

Boom! The mountain top broke to tiny pieces as Shihong propelled off of it and leapt at Uriel at the speed of sound.

Bam! Bam! Boom! The two bishops tangled in a speedy fight. Shihong cultivated a brute-force technique primarily and had a powerful set of assault, defence and support type techniques, forming a proper combat system. Uriel had always been attack-oriented but against Shihong he had to make use of his other techniques as well. All of Shihong's attacks came at sonic speed. He was pushing Uriel back while being immune to fire.

The rest of the raiders arrived as well and were taken aback, seeing Uriel's equal.

"This is perfect, there is only one more bishop. Let's raid the mountain!" Ishita spoke. She had been getting excited about the whole raid thing. Previously her life had been quite gloomy. She had to stay hidden to perform spying missions. The weight of dislike for men also pressed down on her mind. But after getting fucked by many men, her dislike disappeared. She had even made friends with the male bishops of the alliance and was now part of the gang.

"Hehe, the other is just a slim woman. Let's go get rid of her." Mao said with a sneer and flew down like an arrow.

Pew! Something fast pierced his chest and he fell down like a dead bird, plopping into the river. He didn't even scream.

"Mao!" Ben and Novo exclaimed, flying towards the river and dived into it.

They didn't resurface.

"!!" By now everyone's playfulness had disappeared. Three bishops were seemingly defeated within moments! This level was not going to be easy. Aisle looked at Trinity for guidance. Chen disappeared into thin air. This was his style to hide and assassinate his targets silently. Ganza and Ming Sheng revved their chi and floated towards the female cultivator who was still sitting cross legged at the rock in the river. Aisle, Dennis, Rage and Ishita also followed them. Everyone surrounded the woman who slowly sat up. Her dress was soaking wet and clinging to her body. She was petite. In the cultivation world women with muscular bodies were favoured and sought after. Or voluptuous thicc beauties, white or dark skinned. Women with simple bodies and features were not lusted after. Thus, most of the men who saw her cute breasts and fair skin through her translucent clothes, did not feel any lust.

"Greetings. We are the Lion-Dove alliance. Who are you fair lady?" Ming Sheng asked as he cupped his hands.

"Tian Mei." The woman answered calmly. Her voice sweet to the ear.

"I'm Ming Sheng. Why don't you surrender peacefully, Tian Mei? Better, join us. We take good care of our comrades." Ming Sheng offered. He was the only gentleman in this alliance.

Tian Mei stood silent, not answering or making any moves either.

Swoosh! A short sword appeared out of nowhere, hacking at her slender neck! Chen's camouflaged body emerged in everyone's sight at once.

Tian Mei's neck was cleaved through. Her body turned into water and splattered onto the rock and the river. Chen was dumbfounded at once.

"Water element constitution!?" Everyone exclaimed in their minds. Water element! One of the rare elements in humans!

"I want this woman alive!" Ganza roared. This was both a warning and a claim. Nobody was to kill Tian Mei!

But where was she? Everyone used their support techniques to observe the river but could not find Tina Mei. To the contrary, they made a regretful discovery.

Splash-splash-splash-splash. About a hundred cultivators rose up from the river. They were all females; ice cold beauties brimming with yin chi. At once, everyone paused and silence lingered.

"We the former Maiden clan warriors shall no longer take part in this raid." A woman announced and flew away. More and more women followed suit. The women standing on the river glanced at them and then returned their sights on the enemies.

Ming Sheng sighed. "This didn't have to be so difficult." He was frowning. He was perhaps the only one who felt pity about the tragedy of Maiden clan's fall. The proud female warrior clan was dismantled and the women were all raped until they became whores with pleasure etched into their brains with help of aphrodisiacs. Ming Sheng himself had a hand in this. Now the same things were bound to happen to these female cultivators.

"I think we should retreat." Ishita suggested.

"Don't you think you are insulting them?" Aisle spoke. "These are warriors, apparently ready to fight to death. They don't need our sympathy or respect. We shall fight and see this raid to the end."

"Well said Aisle." Rage agreed and summoned a broad sword. Aisle summoned a metal pike. Ishita sighed and summoned a pair of large scissors.

"Hold it!" Ming Sheng finally could not contain himself. His spatial ring glowed and a woman came out from it.

"Tian Mei. How about this? You fight this woman solo. If she wins, you and your subordinates will join us. If you win, we will leave this level and compensate you with resources and gold."

All eyes looked at this woman who had just appeared. She was a tall, muscular, dark-skinned beauty with brown hair and eyes. There were blue tattoos on her forearms, her abdomen was adorned with 8-pack abs and she was wearing a thong underwear and nipple cups. She was pretty much naked. Her very appearance stirred up all the men.

Krack! Lyra cracked her neck and knuckles.

"About time you let me out. I needed to test my new cultivation base too." Lyra spoke. She had broken through to level 3 Master realm! She had been cultivating while others were raiding. Lyra's situation was similar to Xiao's. She also had large amounts of yang chi stored up inside her thanks to the countless times she had had sex. Once she got down to cultivating, she quickly broke through two levels successively. Now she was at the similar level as Trinity members. Though Uriel was still a bit overpowered with his fire element constitution and level 5 Master realm. His wife also possessed the same constitution as his and dual cultivating with her was Uriel's secret of levelling up so quickly. Ganza and Ming Sheng were at level 3 Master realm, same as Lyra's while Chen was at level 4 Master realm. All in all, Lyra had taken quite a leap. She was confident and eager to test her newfound strength.

Silently, Tian Mei emerged from water. She was completely naked and wet. Her legs had joined together and turned into a tail with silver-white fish scales.

"A mermaid!" Someone exclaimed.

"A brute force technique with transformation aspects." Ganza analysed. Brute force techniques had this transformation aspect or category to them. Many such techniques allowed the cultivators to transform partly or completely into a beast for a limited amount of time. Xiao possessed one such technique too but she had never used it in battle.

"I accept." Tian Mei said coldly before sinking into water and swimming away in the river. Her subordinates left the river and stood in a defensive stance on the ground.

"Hmph. You got something for me, old man?" Lyra asked with a tone. Ming Sheng summoned a root and tossed it towards her.

"Eat it and take in as many breaths as you can. This root causes the lungs to transform temporarily and like a sponge they can absorb large amounts of air and hold it too. You won't need to breathe again for at least next 20 minutes." Ming Sheng spoke.

"Hmm." Lyra nodded and chewed the root. Then she breathed several deep breaths. Her chest inflated, her breasts rose higher and farther. Everyone looked in awe before Lyra jumped into the river and swam into its depth, chasing after Tian Mei.

Bam! Bam! Bam! A thunderous fight was still going on in the sky. Uriel and Shihong were battling with all their might. Uriel suddenly pulled back and raised both palms towards Shihong.

"Flame hurricane!" He roared and a torrent of fire burst out from his palms, engulfing Shihong entirely, reaching the mountain on the ground and setting it on fire.

"Ape Grasp." Shihong spoke as his palm emerged from the torrent of fire and grabbed Uriel's hands before clutching them, breaking his fingers in a messy manner.

Crack! "Gah!" Uriel exclaimed after his fingers cracked and he swiftly retreated while summoning a healing pill but Shihong's face emerged in his sight. He was too close.

Bam! Shihong headbutted Uriel and caused his body to fly down.

Boom! Uriel collided onto the mountain with a loud sound, creating a crater on it.

"Damn it! Fire flowers!" He raised his palms towards the sky and countless small orange flowers spread out, covering several metres of area. Upon closer inspection one could see that each flower was actually fire, burning in an artistic manner in the shape of small flowers.

These fire flowers just hovered in air and did not attack anyone. This was a move from Bursting Fire technique. The elemental technique Yana had gotten from her grandfather Xong and later given to Deodomus. Since Uriel married her, he naturally learned the technique from her.

Shihong observed calmly before grabbing a fire flower with his left hand.

Boom! The fire flower burst with a powerful explosion. It charred Shihong's hand black but it was just the outer skin. Even so, Shihong deduced that if he were to enter this field of fire flowers, he would be inviting trouble. These flowers caused no ordinary explosion. They were capable of injuring him despite his defensive technique. Although not to grave extents but Shihong had to consider other things too. His eyes swept through the surroundings. Raiders had not made their moves. Only their bishops had engaged in battle. Shihong was handling Uriel, Tian Mei had been challenged by a dark brown woman. Three of Raider bishops had seemingly perished but they could still be alive. Regardless, there were more enemies than what Shihong and Tian Mei could handle. And there were no reinforcements coming.

In the event of merciless raids by Lion-Dove alliance; each faction had sent reinforcements to whichever levels they had their teams on. But Shihong and Tian Mei had strongly rejected their reinforcements. These two were too proud. Not arrogant, but proud. They took pride in their capability. They were true warriors. They'd rather die in battle than take help from others. This did not mean they didn't care about their subordinates. Shihong had to consider their safety as well. They were merely numbered in hundreds while enemies were in thousands. This was a tough predicament.

Meanwhile Uriel was sitting cross-legged. In the light of the fact that his fire element techniques and constitution could not bring him victory, he was quite stumped. All his life, he had harnessed fire; now suddenly he met a nemesis on whom his technique had barely any effect. Uriel thus refreshed his memory. He was a Master realm warrior who possessed and had mastered several techniques in the distant past and never truly used them much. But now in this fight, he needed to rely on them. He pondered swiftly. Which technique should he use, which weapon would maximize his attack power, which moves will counter Shihong's brute strength? Uriel needed to come up with a combat system on the spot! He could not stall forever. If Shihong ignored the burns and barged right in, the fire flowers would not be able to hold him off and Uriel might lose the fight.

----

At the same time, underwater, Lyra was swimming while looking around. She founds fishes of many kinds, underwater plants, all rich in yin chi. The aquatic life was simply abundant in this river.

Sish-swish! Suddenly a mermaid swam past Lyra, startling her. This mermaid was Tian Mei.

"!!" Lyra immediately swung a punch but her hand moved slowly under the pressure of water while Tian Mei was literally a fish in the river. She swung her tail and slapped Lyra's away.

Bam! Lyra collided against a rock. It barely tickled. She was a valkyrie with tough physique. However, things were merely starting. Tian Mei approached rapidly and swung her tail again.

Thwok! Thwok! Bam! Lyra was being battered while the river water pressed down unimaginably hard on her. There was apparently some technique being used to manipulate it.

"Hnnnngh!" Lyra gritted her teeth and resisted the pressure.

Bam! Bam! The mermaid tail was still slapping her. It felt like a whole thick tree was being used to bash her.

"Meteor…punch!" Lyra finally landed a punch on the incoming tail.

Bam! A muffle explosive sound occurred underwater. Tian Mei was pushed back. Her eyebrows rose up in surprise before came right back and started wrestling with Lyra. Her tail swung around Lyra's sexy body, squeezing her tight, trying to force her to exhale all of her stored-up oxygen. At the same time, she punched Lyra's head and yanked her hair. Lyra struggled and grabbed for Tian Mei's hair too, yanking them off her head!

In a way this was quite a funny fight. It lacked the grandeur of Master realm warriors but it was merely the beginning.

Bam! Bam! Bam! Lyra punched Tian Mei several times on the face, breaking her nose. Red blood mixed into the river water. Tian Mei pressed harder, taking all the punches and still not giving up. Lyra finally could not take it. The combined pressure of the tail and the river water made her exhale. Bubbles of air swarmed out of her mouth and she struggled to break free.

Whoom! A large amount of chi was expulsed from Lyra's body. It freed her from the mermaid's grasp and she quickly retaliated. Her body moved faster than before almost as if the pressure on her had vanished. Tian Mei was surprised again. Surely her technique was still in play but apparently Lyra was pushing herself to the limits. Valkyrie technique was being put to the test.

Tian Mei narrowed her eyes and beckoned with her hands. All the aquatic beastsin the river swam towards Lyra. Lyra felt a dread loom over. Even if these creatures could not injure her much, they could still hinder her every move. Then Tian Mei would be able to use other techniques, attacking Lyra from a distance. It was a mistake to fight Tian Mei under water.

"Fuck it. As long as I can get close to her. I'll use 'that' technique." Lyra thought and released more of her energy in a burst, propelling herself towards Tian Mei who quickly retreated but was caught up with.

Lyra touched Tian Mei.

The beasts stopped moving towards Lyra and the water pressure reduced immediately. Tian Mei's body on the other hand was convulsing badly. Lyra sneered looking at her. She had won.

---

Splash! Bam! The mermaid Tian Mei was kicked out of the river and fell upon the ground, trembling greatly. At once everyone was startled.

"What happened? Did Lyra win?" Someone asked.

"Heh, lyra you shameless cunt." Ganza sneered, revealing his yellow teeth. He understood well what Lyra had done to Tian Mei.

"Pwah!" Lyra came out and exhaled the remaining air in her lungs, breathing in again and smiling at the cultivators who were all staring at her and the madly twitching mermaid.

"Did you use that technique on her? Who taught it to you?" Ming Sheng enquired with a frown.

"Who else?" Lyra smirked. "I got the technique from Xiao. Now…where are a mermaid's holes?"

Tian Mei had been struck with Motherfucker technique! That unorthodox dual cultivation technique which forcefully harnesses the yin chi of females. If the female has once been a mother, the technique shows its full effect. Otherwise, it is lessened by half. Tian Mei was convulsing. It was the sign of her resisting the intense surge of lust and yin chi inside her body. So obviously she had never given birth to a child. Thus, the effect of MF technique wasn't powerful but it was still enough to render her unable to fight.

"Alright, this mermaid slut has lost the fight!" Ganza announced prematurely. "You all bitches belong to our alliance now!" He sneered.

"We won? We won! Hahaha!" The raiders all cheered.

Tian Mei's followers had ashen expressions. They were on the verge of going batshit crazy and killing as many men as they could before dying but they respected their bishop Tian Mei. Mei had lost the fight to Lyra and thus she and her followers must meet the conditions to keep their leader's honor.

"Hehehe, such a wet slippery body." Ganza uttered as he grabbed Tian Mei's arms and pinned them down, near her head. Tian Mei's tail was slapping the ground. Lyra strode over and pressed down on it with her boot.

"So, where are her holes?" She asked while removing her thong, revealing her dark brown vagina shamelessly. And then she used the Yin-Yang swap technique on herself. A thick and long penis emerged from her crotch, startling everyone.

"Holy shit, I must be seeing things!" Someone exclaimed.

"Right there. Under these scales." Ming Shen said as he squatted down and pulled on Tian Mei's tail scales. A small vagina was revealed underneath it.

"Hmph, she is unable to cancel her technique. I guess I have to forcefully violate her tiny hole…just the way I prefer." Lyra spoke. She originally had a vicious nature. She still retained most of it.

And then without further ado, Lyra sat down on Tian Mei's tail and shoved her thick penis inside her small vagina, tearing through the skin and defiling her.

"Guhh!!" Tian Mei groaned in pain while Lyra started raping her. The female followers all watched with great humiliation.

"Alright, so according to the rules set by our prophets Shyaren and Damian, everyone must freely indulge in sex and dual cultivation. Newbies, come, take off your clothes." Chen said, taking lead as he grabbed a beautiful woman by the wrist and pulled her along before pushing her against a tree and ripped her clothes apart.

"You!" A woman shouted angrily before sniffing the strange aroma in the air. The next moment her eyes rolled up and her cheek flushed pink. Ming Sheng had released a strong aphrodisiac timely!

"Hahaha! Get them!" Ganza shouted and all the men shouted excitedly. The women were grabbed and groped. Their clothes were ripped to shreds and they were taken forcefully by man men. An intense r@pe-fest started.

High up in the air, Shihong watched this unfold and furrowed his brows. These women belonged to a different faction. He had a deep understanding and tacit cooperation with Tian Mei who was currently being raped by Lyra; but Shihong did not do anything to protect her or her subordinates. Two reasons- one; it was not his problem. He was a man. Men of this cultivation world considered women below them anyway. Only fierce warrior women could gain their respect. Tian Mei was a powerful cultivator worthy of his respect but he still didn't help her due to the second reason. He was in battle with a powerful opponent. Just because Uriel was not making a move did not mean Shihong could do whatever he pleased. He was one level lower in cultivation to Uriel. He needed to be alert.

From the looks of it, Uriel was done preparing too. His eyes exuded battle intent!

"Go!" He signalled and all the floating fire flowers flew towards Shihong, surrounding him from all side.

Boom! Boom! Bababababoom! Several explosions occurred and fire danced in the sky. Uriel flew into it and charged towards Shihong who was now covered in black soot. His outer skin had been charred black and he had several burns all over his body.

Soosh! Uriel moved his hand, cleaving the air with his long sword and struck at Shihong.

Clang! Shihong parried the sword on his forearms.

"Bear Strength technique!" Uriel exclaimed in his mind. His strength multiplied several times within a moment and the sword which was blocked, now cut through Shihong's forearm, lopping it off!

"Fuck!" The ever-calm Shihong finally cussed and hastily retreated. Blood was spurting out like a fountain from his amputated arm. Quickly, he summoned a few healing pills but didn't get the chance to consume them.

"Wingfeet technique! Sword Shadow technique! Bear Strength technique!" Uriel used three techniques at the same time. His speed rose immensely, his sword was like a shadow of a soul reaper, his strength great. Shihong's hair stood on their ends.

----

A corpse fell on the mountain and tumbled down, bouncing off the rocks and finally splattering at the ground in a heap of broken bones and messed up organs. Shihong was dead. Fallen at the hands of Uriel.

Uriel gazed down upon Shihong's corpse and nodded. He was a worthy opponent. From here onwards, opponents will only grow stronger. The raids were about to get difficult and thus more exciting!

Uriel flew into the mountain to kill the other cultivators. Everyone belonged to the Consulate but in this sage strategy, it was allowed for members to kill each other. Consulate was a large organization. Although they only recruited exceptional talented cultivators, it was crucial to keep them at their toes and to not let them get complacent in Consulate. A lazy soldier causes downfall of his king. Competing by putting lives on the line was the only way to distinguish oneself. Consulate was apparently weeding out the unenthusiastic leeches. But apparently, some hardworking good cultivators also suffered in all of this. Mirium died after getting raped. She was turned into a doll and was still being used to relieve men's pent up yang chi. This was the absolute disgrace. Most the cultivators of the levels thus far had been killed by Raiders. The women were raped and assimilated into the Lion-Dove alliance. Tian Mei suffered the worst, getting raped while her subordinates were also drugged and raped. The hardworking cultivators mining the yang coal inside the mountain were also being slain. The cruel nature of cultivators was now revealed. Strength was the only thing that mattered in this world. Good and bad were merely amusing subjects.

As the sun dimmed and turned into the moon, the r@pe-fest finally ended. All the women were twitching on the ground with their holes filled with warm white spunk. Tian Mei had been raped most cruelly by Lyra and Ganza. Her transformation had come undone, her hidden yin extracted, her holes stretched beyond limits, her mind in a heated daze and her condition completely fucked up.

Ganza poured a potent brain numbing potion in Tian Mei's mouth.

"Good, she'll be docile now. I have much dual cultivation and experiments to do." He sneered and pulled Tian Mei on her shoulder.

"Hold it jackass." Lyra stood in his path. "I defeated her. She's my bitch."

"…Woman, don't get carried away. Have you forgotten that you were a mere cumslut not long ago? You should be glad we are letting you throw your fists around and not pounding you hardcore in your asshole." Ganza snarled. He didn't respect women even if one was a strong cultivator.

Lyra cracked her knuckles, preparing for a fight. She raised her fist, on which a gauntlet appeared. Suddenly a hand grabbed her wrist and another hand grabbed the other wrist. Chen and Uriel were standing behind her.

"Looks like this one needs a lesson." Chen commented.

"Stop it you all. She is one of us. A champion of this raid." Ming Sheng intervened.

"A champion deserves a reward." Chen said, sliding his erect penis between Lyra's big hips.

"Hehehe." The others chuckled. Ming Sheng shook his head.

"Hmph, you bastards have been arrogant for too long. I'll teach you why you should not mess with a woman like me." Lyra snarled. She was thoroughly annoyed.

Bear strength technique! Bam! A powerful punch landed on Lyra's rib. A cracking sound occurred and she vomited a mouthful of blood.

"Shut up and spread your legs." Uriel snarled in her ear before pushing her on the ground.

"You…ba-s..ohohk!" Lyra could not speak well. The excruciating pain of her broken rib jabbing into her lung was a chastisement. Her muscles may be strong but her internal organs were still comparatively weaker.

Ganza stowed Tian Mei into his spatial ring and approached Lyra. Next, the three men pounced on Lyra and started raping her. Lyra's screams were ignored by everyone.

----

Inside a dark cave somewhere, two silhouettes could be seen walking stealthily while conversing.

"So the last phase has begun?" One of them asked. His voice revealed his identity. He was Deodomus.

"Yes. This is crucial time. How are things with Ayla?" Shyaren asked.

"She is ready, awaiting our signal." Deodomus answered.

"Good. And Mirium & Xiao?" Shyaren asked.

"They know nothing yet. Mirium is dead by the way. Xiao has the alliance raiding the levels. They will soon reach the higher levels and do our bidding without realizing it." Deodomus spoke.

Shyaren halted at once. "Who the fuck killed Mirium?!" She exclaimed.

"Long story. I'll tell you in short. I got this intel a few days ago. Apparently Xiao raped Mirium, then used her for dual cultivation, took her resources, crippled her and broke her mind. Then Mirium was given to the alliance members for sex and was fucked to death." Deodomus spoke uncaringly.

"Holy shit!" Shyaren could not believe her ears. "What's Xiao's cultivation level now?" She asked.

"Two steps away from Sage realm." Deodomus replied.

"Heh, she's good. I was wrong about her. Vicious bitches like her are worthy of my companionship." Shyaren smiled. Mirium's death did not bother her when she heard that it was Xiao who caused it. Compared to Mirium who was a weak willed, barely good for anything, Xiao was so much better. She was a powerful mistress with great talent and undying battle spirit. Shyaren favoured the latter. Even though she had a rough brush with Xiao earlier, relations could still be mended. She was certain that Xiao would be more useful than Mirium in her plans.

"Hmph, I told you she's the best." Deodomus snorted.

"Alright. Let her be for now. We will need her soon. The last phase is not going to be easy. We will need all the manpower we can gather." Shyaren said.

"Hmm. And here's the intel I gathered from two enemy spies." Deodomus handed a scroll to Shyaren. It contained all the information on the prophets and their factions that Ryuga and Joseph had divulged.

"Hmm, it will be very useful. Good work Deo." Shyaren took the scroll and patted his cheek. "Now I must return. You stay hidden and do your things." She said & turned around to leave.

"Hold it." Deodomus grabbed her waist and pushed his crotch against her soft hips. "You black slut, aren't you forgetting to pay me for my services?"

"Heh, don't get ahead of yourself. Know your place." Shyaren said dangerously.

"Or else what? You will fight me here and reveal your presence? Other prophets will easily notice and you'll gather unnecessary attention which you'd better avoid." Deodomus said.

"Hmph, unscrupulous bastard. Get over with it quickly." Shyren snarled.

"Hehehe, what's the hurry." Deodomus asked as he ran his hands all over Shyaren's cute round hips and pulled down her trousers. Before long, light moans and groans echoed in the cave along with continuous clapping sounds.

Alright so I got a freelance storyboarding gig for a comics app company. When a tasks arrive, it keep me working 4 days straight. Then there are many distractions as well. Thus, I haven't had much chance to write lately. The chapters might be late from now on. Sigh. Sometimes I wish I focused my energy on one story at a time.

Regardless, hopefully my work will continue to improve and you'll enjoy these stories.
