Chapter 292 Two Dead
Min Wan entered the battle. She faced the weaker of the two women, who was in the third layer of the Soul Evolution Stage.
"You are a tenacious woman. I admire that. Hold her off so that I can finish this vermin off." Liu Man nodded.
Min Wan was not weak by any chance. She was a genius in her own right, and even at her young age, she was in the Soul Evolution Stage. Part of that was because of the environment that she grew up in, which was the city of Heavens.
But regardless, she was supposed to be much stronger than her opponent.
However, the control of the bug, and the attack that Liu Feng performed to get the bug out of her sapped her strength considerably, and even though she recovered a lot of her Qi, she was still weaker than before.
All she could do was put one person in check, and not more than that.
Liu Feng had his spear out, and he was matching the Pavilion Master blow by blow. It was surprising how efficient Liu Feng was, and that he was equal to someone in the peak of the Soul Evolution Stage.
All of a sudden, two sounds took everyone's attention.
One was the howl that came from the manor. But the second was on the battlefield itself.
Roar!
The sound of a tiger roaring was so frightening that everyone on the battlefield froze for a quick second.
Liu Feng peeked at the battle going on beneath him, and he understood what happened. Liu Man was not going easy on his opponent.
He had transformed into his true form, that of a white tiger. And the white tiger looked ferocious, tearing at the woman, who could barely avoid her opponent.
Liu Man was quick, and he landed several attacks that the woman could just not avoid. Her shoulder was bitten off, her arm weak, and blood flowing from every part of her body.
She was injured, and even if she could heal, it would take time and concentration to heal injuries at this level.
The Pavilion Master also saw this, and her eyes shook with shock. They were in the sect! This was their territory. This was a fight that they should have been winning with ease. And yet, they were moments away from facing a casualty?
If the woman died, then the Moon Pavilion would face a loss that was just impossible to be recouped. The death of a Soul Evolution Stage expert was something that could not be quantified. Each expert was a pillar to the sect, and without even one, the sect could collapse!
That was especially so for the sect that called itself the number two for so many years until the Sky Heavens sect dethroned it.
"What are you looking at? Don't you think that you should be focusing on your opponent?" Liu Feng asked, smiling.
A blue dragon threatened to pierce her very dantian, when she hastily defended with her own sword.
"Coward! Is this how you fight?" she spat out.
"Don't be a hypocrite. If you were so righteous, then maybe you would have traded for that red ball somehow, instead of using someone else as leverage." Liu Feng sneered as he pushed the Pavilion Master back.
But at the end of the day, she was still at the peak of the Soul Evolution Expert.
The moment that her sword shone, Liu Feng backed down a few paces so that he could avoid any attack that would come at him.
Awooo!
The frequencies of the howls were increasing. Whatever happened, caused this beast to howl more and become more active.
Liu Feng looked up. Liu Man mentioned something about the moon going down, and in the horizon, the sun was already coming up. It took a while for everyone to perform all their tricks after all, so much of the night had passed.
And with the first rays of sunlight hitting the face of the lake, the silver shine of the lake immediately disappeared.
All of the young masters who were using the lake to stand on it immediately fell into the water, dunked in.
"The sun is here!" the Pavilion Master noticed, aghast. Immediatley, she looked away, toward the manor. Whatever was in there was definitely going to come out, for two people to say the same thing.
Aaargh!
The sound of a woman crying out in pain could be heard. The Pavilion Master looked at her two subordinates with worry, and saw that it was Min Wan's opponent that was screaming for help.
And the reason: Liu Man was attacking her.
The Pavilion Master looked around. If Liu Man was free, that meant that his opponent either retreated or...
"She didn't retreat." the Pavilion Master's eyes became misty as they fell on the corner of the gardens that surrounded the lake.
The body of a woman lay there, but it was not the young, beautiful woman that Liu Man faced. The face on it was old, wrinkled, and yet the clothes remained the same.
This was her true form.
"You killed her? You bastard! How could you kill her?" the Pavilion Master suddenly showed off her incredible aura. This was the true power of someone in the Peak of the Soul Evolution Stage.
But it was too late.
Aaargh!
The second woman screamed as she fell down to the ground, a gaping hole right next to her heart, where the dantian resided.
This was different from Min Wan, whose hole was in the stomach.
With this woman's dantian gone, she was no longer a cultivator. Even if she recovered, which she could not, she would never be able to become one again.
Liu Man smiled as he turned around, locking eyes with the Pavilion Master. In his fair face lay two blank, expressionless eyes.
"You seem to have something else to worry about." Liu Man pointed to the Manor in the distance.
Liu Feng looked at it as well, and they all found something different.
The top of the Manor was now gone!
