Chapter 133: Twelve
The empty city guard camp suddenly erupted into a fierce battle.
On one side were the high-ranking officers of the Maple City Guard, and on the other side were the twelve Bone Faces of the White Bone Sect.
They fought in pairs.
Fang Dahuzi fought against the Rat Bone Face.
Wei Yan fought against the Snake Bone Face.
Zhao Lang faced the Dog Bone Face head-on.
One was a heavily injured peak Soaring Dragon Realm cultivator, one was a young man who had just entered the Soaring Dragon Realm, and the other was a Tongtian Realm cultivator who had not even reached the Heaven and Earth Gate.
Their opponents were three peak Soaring Dragon Realm experts.
The difference in strength was huge, and the chance of victory was slim, but no one retreated.
...Zhao Lang was the last to join the battle, but he quickly reached a climax.
He used a stone wall to block the Dog Bone Face and surrounded it with a sea of fire.
Stone spikes protruded and vine snakes slithered.
He quickly performed various complex and ever-changing Daoist techniques.
From within the sea of fire, evil dog spirits pounced out.
From above the stone wall, the Dog Bone Face descended from the sky!
"A mere Tongtian Realm kid dares to interfere in a battle of this level?"
The person sneered and the dog spirits roared, looking grotesque and ferocious.
The dog's breath was foul and disgusting.
The dog's attacks were incredibly fast.
Some dogs were huge and had drooling fangs.
He seemed like an army of one, overwhelming and directly crushing the sea of fire!
Zhao Lang quickly retreated, stone walls rising one after another.
He leaped and maneuvered between the cracks in the ground, constantly creating obstacles and moving around.
He knew very well about Fang Dahuzi's injuries. Based on his understanding of this man, if he could still hold on, he wouldn't even spit out a mouthful of blood.
He also understood that Wei Yan, who had just entered the Soaring Dragon Realm, would find it difficult to defeat his opponent in a short period of time, even though he had great confidence in Wei Yan.
As for himself, he hadn't even opened the Heaven and Earth Gate, let alone defeating his opponent. The chance of holding on was as slim as a star.
But he would definitely give it his all.
Because everyone's chances were slim, they all had to give it their all.
There was no way back, only forward.
Even if it was just a star, Zhao Lang really wanted to touch it.
...
On the high platform, Fang Dahuzi was already entangled in a fierce battle with the Rat Bone Face.
He had been ambushed by the three Bone Faces of the White Bone Sect shortly after leaving the camp, and was heavily injured.
His body was already in critical condition, relying solely on his willpower to hold on and not give up.
But he was the one who had the upper hand in the battle, becoming more courageous as he fought.
He fought with his life on the line, forcing his opponents to constantly evade.
As the commander, he was well aware of Wei Yan and Zhao Lang's abilities. He also understood how dangerous the current situation was.
If he collapsed, the situation would immediately be overturned.
So he couldn't collapse, he had to win. With his heavily injured body, he had to extinguish their souls, defeat and even kill his opponents, in order to reverse the entire battle and have a chance of victory.
But the Rat Bone Face had experienced countless battles and seemed to have already seen through his intentions. It steadily defended and evaded, sometimes choosing not to attack, focusing on defense and evasion, not giving him a chance to fight for life and death.
Instead, it wanted to slowly wear him down.
...
The disaster on the ground was still expanding and was seriously affecting the battle.
The Earth Dragon flipped, and the mountains and rivers trembled.
Both sides were experts, which allowed them to maintain a fierce attack in the midst of the disaster.
However, what was the meaning of this battle? Even if they fought desperately to kill their opponents, would it have any effect on the situation in Maple City?
Wei Yan knew that everything was beyond redemption, just like when he saw the mist dissipate and the empty ground in the center of Xiaolin Town.
But at this moment, he couldn't consider such questions.
No matter what, he couldn't watch Fang Dahuzi and Zhao Lang die in front of him.
Especially when he still had fighting power.
Especially when he firmly believed that there was still a chance. He could fight and kill his opponents!
With his sword in hand, Wei Yan rushed into the Blood Snake Formation. His long sword moved swiftly, his body moved with the sword.
Although he had just entered the Soaring Dragon Realm, he was completely fearless in the face of peak Soaring Dragon Realm experts.
Instead of retreating or avoiding, he advanced and maintained his offensive!
This was the self-confidence of a genius, the confidence accumulated through countless battles.
Wei Yan was confident that with his sword in hand, nothing was uncuttable and no one was unbeatable.
But how could the Snake Bone Face be weak? She had struggled in the dangerous White Bone Sect for so long, ranked among the twelve Bone Faces, she was not a delicate flower. Her cultivation at the peak of the Soaring Dragon Realm was grown through countless fierce battles.
At this moment, her ferocity was unleashed. Her cherry lips opened wide, and her long tongue shot out, instantly turning into a cold light that was close to Wei Yan's face.
The white bone weapon, the Snake Trust Sword!
Clang!
Fast Snow stood up against the impossible, blocking the Snake Trust Sword in the middle.
With a flick of the Snake Bone Face's finger, the Snake Trust Sword instantly softened and followed Fast Snow forward.
However, at this moment, her movement suddenly stagnated. Her whole person was trapped in a suddenly appearing stone wall!
She never expected that the mere Tongtian Realm junior vice-commander could be the first to make a move under the pressure of a peak Soaring Dragon Realm cultivator.
How was this possible?
The stone wall could only bind her for less than a moment.
But for Wei Yan, even a moment was too long to determine life and death!
He shook his hand, Fast Snow with the Snake Trust Sword wrapped around the blade whistled away. And he had already appeared in front of the stone wall, his right fist retracted, and then he punched!
With almost endless and eye-piercing golden light, he blasted forward!
Boom!
A figure suddenly appeared.
The golden light dissipated.
The Dog Bone Face hung on Wei Yan's arm, its chest and abdomen pierced through. It only had time to turn its head and take a glance at the Snake Bone Face before lowering its head, completely devoid of breath.
The secret treasure, the Shifting Shadow Talisman!
One person held the Yin Talisman, the other held the Yang Talisman. When used, the world turned upside down, shifting shadows. It was an excellent secret treasure for team cooperation in battle.
Among the twelve Bone Faces, the Dog Bone Face and the Snake Bone Face were lovers.Perhaps they couldn't be considered a couple, but rather "lovers in secret."
At least, that's how the Serpent Bone Face always saw it.
She was very clear about the kind of person she was.
In her life, she had never trusted anyone, and she didn't expect anyone to trust her either.
It wasn't her fault, nor was it anyone else's.
It was just the way the world was.
She believed that she had long understood the truth of the world.
She and Eleven had merely known each other since childhood. Even the so-called childhood acquaintance was nothing more than a distant glance at each other before they each went on their trials.
When they met again, they were both among the Twelve Bone Faces.
Sometimes she even wondered, if they had been assigned together back then, who would have been the only one to survive?
There would be no answer to this question.
At the level of the Twelve Bone Faces, the Bone Path wouldn't allow them to kill each other.
Being with the Dog Bone Face, she wasn't seeking anything, just purely for her own pleasure.
She believed the Dog Bone Face felt the same.
They comforted each other, but they were not in love.
They ate and traveled together, but they would never protect each other.
This set of Shadow Shifting Talismans was found by the Dog Bone Face. Over time, they had completed many difficult tasks thanks to the suddenness provided by this treasure.
A set of Shadow Shifting Talismans could only be used ten times. This was their last chance to use it.
She had never thought that a woman as promiscuous and fickle as her would have someone risk their life for her.
The Serpent Bone Face stared blankly at those eyes.
Those eyes, which should have been cunning and fierce, were unexpectedly filled with tenderness at the last moment.
And unexpectedly, they dimmed.
"Ah!"
She roared, throwing her head back!
The stone wall that bound her exploded with a loud bang.
