Chapter 135: Surround and Kill
The thirty cultivators in formation retreated a hundred zhang back into the domain and came to a stop at the boundary zone, mounting a desperate defense. While this was going on, the cultivators who escaped back to the domain earlier armed themselves with the necessary equipment and rejoined the battle one after another. Together, they just barely kept the Shamans at bay.
Wei Yuan and Xiao Yu had also withdrawn back to the domain, relying on its suppressive effects to barely hold back a dozen or so middle to late-stage Dao Foundation enemies. The fighters aside, many Warlocks were hiding among the troops and launching sneak attacks using curses as well. Both Wei Yuan and Xiao were covered in curses of all colors right now, and not even Qingming was able to purify it all. Despite fighting within its domain, they were slowing down with every passing minute.
The amount of casualties gradually increased over time, but not a single person backed down from the frontlines. They just kept fighting with everything they got. It was because the realm stone was behind their backs. They had already withdrawn as far as they could have withdrawn.
The longer Xiao Yu fought, the angrier he became. Suddenly, he let out a battle cry and overcharged The Sun with an impressive amount of power. Then, he swung his sword and ignited a middle-stage Dao Foundation warrior from the inside out!
However, the one-way attack also left Xiao Yu vulnerable and allowed two curses to strike him in an instant. His face turned white, and a mouthful of black blood burst out of his mouth!
A late-stage Dao Foundation warrior sensed weakness and tossed a javelin straight at Xiao Yu’s chest!
Realizing that he wouldn’t be able to dodge in time, Xiao Yu only grew braver. He launched a counterattack with every intent to take his would-be killer to the grave with him.
The Warlock was a fierce one himself. He raised his spear to block the attack while maintaining his perceptual connection to the javelin.
The Sun cut the spear in two and kept pressing forward, cleaving through most of the warrior’s shoulder and chest. However, the warrior’s javelin had also reached Xiao Yu, and the spearhead had rows of dark green barbs. It was clearly highly poisonous.
