The three acquaintances stared down the assassins. Yi Bai pulled a saber from out of nowhere and Yi Ling brought out her own sword. The weapons were intricately designed with odd gold runes encompassing the blades. The hilts were translucent and looked as if they were made of colorful glass.
Yi Bai looked over and noticed that Braedon only raised up his fist without bringing out a weapon. "Do you have any weapons, Braedon?" Yi Bai asked. Braedon shook his head and Yi Bai told him that he should hide.
"Don't worry sir, I can probably hold my own." Glode told him an interesting thing about his cultivation. This secret was the reason why Braedon wasn't worried even though he didn't have a weapon. Added to the fact that one of the assassins was just a young man at the first stage of the second realm, Braedon was confident in surviving even though he knew he could not win.
"I'll try to dirstract the one in the second realm. Just quickly finish your opponents off and don't worry about him." As Braedon said this, Yi Bai slowly became worried. Braedon was still just at the beginning of the first realm, taking on someone a realm above him was a difficult task.
He didn't warn Braedon against it though since he felt as if Braedon had a trick up his sleeve.
Each group stood side by side facing each other. Yi Bai suddenly charged in and his saber clashed together with the strongest assassin's twin daggers. Yi Ling on the other hand quickly moved herself behind her opponent to pierce his back.
The assassin turned and knocked the sword away from him. He swung his arm around to strike her head, but she rolled aside and quickly got back into a fighting stance.
As they fought, Braedon prepared himself for the last person. His opponent moved forward and Braedon quickly stepped back narrowly missing a knife being stabbed into his neck. Braedon was incredibly athletic even before he started cultivating. Now that his body had been enhanced, he was quicker and more agile than most people. While this wasn't much compared to most cultivators, it did close up the speed gap between the two people.
The two people got entangled into a dance of one person attacking and the other dodging. They continued this dance until the assassin saw an opening and swung his leg into Braedon's chest.
Braedon was propelled back and crashed into a wall. He felt a sharp stab in his back and reached back to pull out a piece of wood. "This is going to be a pain to clean up." He slowly got up and held on tightly to the piece of wood in his hand.
The assassin caught up soon after and tried to attack him while he was down. But Braedon got up quicker than expected and thrusted his arm out, punching the man in his jaw. The man reeled back screaming out, "Son of a-" and Braedon charged in and uppercutted him at that moment.
Despite his best efforts, Braedon's attacks only did a bit of damage to his opponent. The man stared at Braedon with hatred, "Your death won't be quick."
~~~~~~~~~~
Yi Bai was doing much better compared to Braedon. His body was covered in cuts and bruises but the one he was fighting had a large gash across his chest. Yi Bai was someone who preferred to charge headfirst and overpower his opponents.
Every swing of his blade felt like a truck ramming into the assassin. He could barely hold him back, but this didn't mean that he was about to lose.
Yi Bai launched his adversary back a short distance and in that moment of not being pelted by attack, the assassin pulled something out of his pockets.
It was a glass vial with a strange green liquid inside of it. The man popped open he bottle and noticed that Yi Bai was closing the distance between them fast.
He smiled when Yi Bai arrived directly in front of him and threw the contents of the vial onto Yo Bai's face.
It splashed over his eyes and a loud hissing sound could be heard while steam came from the area that the liquid made contact with. "Aaargh!"
Yi Bai stepped back and wiped away the liquid with the back of his hands. This small distraction was all the assassin wanted though as he charged in raised the daggers over his head. He quickly swung down and a person's head flew into the air.
The assassin saw his own headless body flop to the floor and before he understood what was happening, Yi Bai stomped on his head ending his final thoughts.
"Childish tricks like that won't work on me." Just like how the assassin was waiting patiently to use the vial of acid, Yi Bai was also waiting for him to use his trump card and let his guard down.
This was because he believed that since Yi Bai couldn't see, he could easily sneak in and kill him without a worry.
"If that was your best strategy then next time don't release so much energy and make it easy for me to sense where you are." Yi Bai stared at the paste under his foot after wiping away the last of the acid and quickly healing his eyes, "Actually there is no next time."
~~~~~~~~~~
Yi Ling was having some difficulties with her opponent. This was not because he was strong, but he had too many tricks. Unlike the person Yi Bai killed, this one mainly used hidden gadgets and concoctions to deal with his enemies.
Every time Yi Ling got close to him, he would pull out a small bomb and throw it at her. The bomb didn't give off a big explosion or anything, but it did contain small shards of metal that were released upon impact.
If she was too far on the other hand, he used throwing knives to tire her out. A truly annoying person had appeared before her.
She felt something sharp cut through her thigh and saw the knife stuck to the wall behind her. She silently pulled it out and saved it for later. The man didn't notice her actions since he was too busy looking at her body with a lustful gaze.
Yi Ling launched herself from where she stood and thought of a plan to deal with this guy.
"Are you a bit tired young lady? I can allow you to live as long as you promise to be my slave!" The man cackled out while preparing another knife in his hand. "You can't keep running forever, girl and once you do stop, I promise to not kill you immediately. I think I'll spend some happy nights with you first."
He threw the knife toward her arm, but this time she saw it and quickly smacked it aside.
Yi Ling looked at the man in disgust, "I would rather die." She ran in quickly to close the distance between the two people but once more a bomb appear in his hand.
As he threw it toward her, Yi Ling smiled and launched her sword at it.
The sword pierced the bomb, forcing it to release its contents midair. The sword on the other hand was pushed aside, too far for her to reach while being bombarded with knives.
"Haha! What kind of plan was that. Are you already giving up already?" The man laughed out but he noticed that she wasn't slowing down. She quickly pulled out the dagger that she had been saving and when the man saw it, his eyes widened with surprise.
"You-" before he said anything else, Yi Ling pushed it out and stabbed him with the knife.
She didn't feel the familiar feeling of a blade piercing flesh though. In fact it didn't feel like the blade pierced anything at all.
Yi Ling looked up to find that the knife had been stopped by the man using only two fingers. "You didn't think it would be that easy did you?" As soon as the man finished saying that sentence, at that very moment a flaming ball flew by and crashed into him.
He felt as if someone had just swung a wrecking ball in his direction and he was directly forced into the ground. The flaming ball, on the other hand, did not stop and crashed into the wall behind him next.
Yi Ling quickly took this chance to reclaim her sword and returned to stab him in the heart. Just before she could do it, Yi Bai came and grabbed her by her wrist, "I'll take care of him, after all we need someone to question."
Yi Ling nodded and asked if he was the one who sent the flaming ball, to which he responded no.
She felt very strange at the anticlimactic ending and looked in the direction of the mysterious flaming ball.
Her eyes went wide as she saw something odd come out of the flaming ball and she released a loud shriek.
