Dual Sword God

Chapter 192 The Battle Begins! Assassins Assault!

The air was tense, as a cruel group of auras permeated the air, causing even the most adept of practitioners to shiver in silence while quietly observing the imminent battle in a ruined street. While time slowly passed, some of these practitioners gripped their fists tightly while swallowing their saliva as the sweat dripped from their foreheads and slid down to their cheeks before falling onto the ground.

Currently, Feng Yu's party was standing in a circular formation before their carriage. The two Crimson Huff Horses now showing anxious looks on their faces while stirring back and forth escape the nearing calamity. Looking at their eyes, one would see the reflected forms of the various Midnight Temple assassins that were calmly observing the prey they had surrounded.

As both Wuya Shashou and Feng Yu looked at each other's groups, the world seemed to have come to a stop as now only the sounds of rustling robes, and the chilly breeze resounded. Suddenly, a feather seemed to have worked its way loose from Wuya Shashou's dark feathered cape, gliding through the wind before slowly falling onto the ground before the two parties. Instantly, there came a change, as if the fallen feather had been the gong to this battle.

Swish! Like a leave gliding through summer's drifts, the figures of all assassins swayed and vanished, leaving only the silent Wuya Shashou and the Twilight Blade Sisters who stood quietly in the distant alleyway. Their presence completely faded, as if they became one with their environment.

As this happened, the previous atmosphere had transformed, becoming more silent and sinister. There was no longer any need for words as even the arrogant and outspoken Wuya Shashou had taken killing his target very seriously.

"Midnight Crow Arts: Vanishing Feather Steps..." He said calmly as he promptly employed his most skillful movement technique.

Fwoosh! Immediately following his words, the feathers on his robes burst outwards, shrouding his entire body. Quickly, they dispersed about the area before fading into nothingness along with his figure.

As he vanished into his surroundings, he moved as one with the other assassins as they silently rushed forwards to make their kills, leaving only the two Twilight Blade Sisters in the nearby distant alleyway.

The moment Feng Yu and the others saw this scene before them. A dangerous sense soon after spreading out across their surroundings. Instantly, it felt as if they were standing on a sea of sharp knives as if the sickle of death only needed to descend to reap their lives. However, despite this feeling, they showed no signs of fear was visible on their faces.

Leon and Myria's eyes shrunk to the size of needles as the entire surroundings had become visible to the spiritual senses. While Leon focused on figuring out the enemy's locations, Myria began to try and gather the powers of nature in this corrupted land, which though limited, still provided a minute amount of information regarding their enemies.

Upon doing this, they placed their left and right palms together, causing a strand of energy to channel from Leon into Myria's body. A blush formed on Myria's face, but as the situation was dire, she couldn't waste any time of sentimental thoughts.

"There!" Myria shouted as waved her slender fingers, causing a glowing magic wand to appear, she pointed it towards a location before them before quickly drawing a rune in the air.

"I am the mother of life, keeper of the earth. Call on my roots, unleash my spirit from dirt - Gaia Sprite!" An ancient voice said.

Rumble! The moment she said this, the ground shook as it shattered, revealing many different plants that suddenly grown to the size of buildings. The plants each had sizeable thorns on their vines, and their buds were currently in full bloom.
