Dance Of The Phoenix
81. I'm not on anyone's side

The gates of Yi City were full of fierce battles in which the palace representatives began to be overwhelmed by the hundreds of invading troops. The number of representatives of each palace in general was less than 50 people, faced by hundreds of terrible death creatures made them almost completely defeated.

At this moment, the five palaces united after all this time to fight against the Linghun Hall. Energy fluctuations continued to appear, causing numerous explosions from the attacks of the various elements.

The Tianshuang Palace disciples outperformed the fight would be an extremely powerful combat power. Even Zhou Ying who had been scared before, took out a tier 8 jade horse as his contract monster and defeated several death squads.

Yun Qiao protected Ru Meng as much as possible who was holding the death squad. He comes face to face with a witch assisted by another student. The element was an extremely powerful light element, so death beings were reluctant to attack it directly.

Zhou Wei carried out an air strike using an arrow as an archer. Its ice power was so strong that it caused the entire field to freeze and be showered with ice arrows. The witches had limited movement in Zhou Wei's air raids so they had to send air monsters to attack the air attackers.

Under the cool winter, the ice element users were at their peak so the Tianshuang Palace side gained an edge. Even Zhou Tao, who was usually silent, now displayed an extremely powerful assassin performance like a murderous shadow. He seems to have been used to facing a big battle.

But their superiority did not last long as the witches began to resurrect the dead army of death. Without witches, the army of death cannot rise. But those witches were still standing upright on the ground after killing some of the palace representatives.

The magician man leading them continued to put on a terrifying smile, watching the battle between the humans and the troops their master had raised.

Unfortunately, their master went to another place to settle the matters of the palace.

Yun Qiao directed the disciples to combine their light power and reduce the death army. It was done so that the rest of the palace representatives could attack the magician.

Yun Qiao's plan of walking made the force of light temporarily hold back the death army. He and the others faced the witch head-on, so the battle became even more intense.

The power of a witch basically has a very powerful magic. Especially when it has a very large cultivation level and is connected to soul power. They cannot be defeated by one person of the same rank.

In total there are about 10 witches in this place, including its leader. If the strength of the ten magicians were not as strong as tier 7, they would be easily handled by the combined disciples of the five palaces.

But the thing is, they are all at tier 7!

While not all representative disciples had tier 7 which meant, this battle would be extremely difficult.

"These kids are so persistent." The leader of the witches looked at each representative of the palace with his head tilted. His gaze was directed at Yun Qiao. "The guy's a little troublesome."

"Can we handle it?"

"He's mine, the rest is up to you." The man pointed towards Yun Qiao directly.

The magician behind him responded, immediately went to attack the representatives of the five palaces. They were witches who had long fought and fought more numbers alone. Defeating those rats was only a matter of time.

Yun Qiao was missed by those witches and confronted by the witch man who chose her to get rid of. Zhou Tao initially wanted to help, but the witches pulled him into a complicated battle.

"It looks like you are the successor of Yuansu Palace. I wonder how they would react if they found out that their successor could not defeat a witch."

Yun Qiao's gaze hardened. "That's not necessarily."

Yun Qiao who was usually very gentle and friendly, was now showing a terrifying side in the battlefield. His sword swung with all his might at the weaponless mage.

The magician used his magic expertly and repelled every attack of Yun Qiao. Their battle became fierce as the magician began to attack.

The green magic lit up and formed a magic circle on the ground. The light from within the magic circle struck out like a laser, right towards Yun Qiao.

Quickly Yun Qiao jumped to the other side. But apparently the green magic had locked it so inevitably he had to block the magic using a sword.

The magic pressure against him was too intense until Yun Qiao was restrained in one place. His legs retreated backwards, before the magic finally pressed him down.

He lost in just one attack.

"I'm concerned that the future Palace King Yuansu is just like this. It seems, five palaces are in great decline." The witch laughed as she raised both her hands to straighten out the attack.

Yun Qiao raised his weapon back. The witch deliberately targeted him to knock him out mentally. He can't be careless.

"Oh? Still want to fight?" The magician swung his hand giving a magic attack.

Yun Qiao dodged the first attack, as well as the next. But when he was about to strike again, the green magic struck his body until Yun Qiao fell instantly.

The magician seemed to become bored because the opponent was too weak. He formed a blade made of green magic, then released it towards Yun Qiao.

The magic was like a spear that was unsheathed in the air. Yun Qiao stood up as soon as possible and was about to resist the attack with the rest of his strength, but suddenly a red gleam flashed pulling the green magic.

The green magic crashed out of nowhere and shattered into pieces leaving a triggered explosion. A fiery whip stretched out from the direction of the explosion, striking the ground until it made a loud noise.

The fiery wings landed right in front of Yun Qiao. It was Gu Yuena.

"Xiao Yuena, why are you here?" Yun Qiao was surprised. Gu Yuena should have asked Yuansu Palace for help.

Gu Yuena's gaze remained on the witch. He said to Yun Qiao, "Go with the others, I have a plan."

"Xiao Yuena—"

"It takes time for them to come. Let there be no more victims." Gu Yuena emphasized her words without taking her eyes off.

Yun Qiao still looked doubtful. Gu Yuena's arrival also attracted the attention of the other palaces. Ru Meng came over worriedly and shook her head quickly not wanting to leave Gu Yuena.

"Unclearly, I'll stay here with you." Although his strength was not as good as the others, Ru Meng could still help.

"If we have to go, you have to go too." Yun Qiao insisted on making Gu Yuena dizzy herself.

The problem was, Gu Yuena could not use her magic power in front of all of them. Not afraid of being discovered, but his method this time would not be able to be supported by them.

"Go." Gu Yuena flicked hypnotic magic at them. Not only Yun Qiao and Ru Meng, but all the palace representatives and the mayor soldiers at the gate.

Suddenly the fighting stopped. The witch as well as the attacking death squad, suddenly bounced off the magic reaction that enveloped all of them.

There was doubt in the eyes of Yun Qiao and Ru Meng. They had no choice but to obey after being exposed to hypnotic magic and thought that Gu Yuena's words were true.

"Be careful." Yun Qiao gave a final message. His gaze was somewhat dazed, before finally directing everyone to retreat.

All the representatives and the mayor's army retreated into the gate, leaving the bewildered witch and the death squad restrained.

After everyone left, the gate closed perfectly.

Gu Yuena was left on the battlefield.

The witch man who had previously fought Yun Qiao tilted his head. "The magician recognizes the other witches. Why are you siding with them?"

Gu Yuena glanced at him, then smiled. "I'm not on anyone's side" he said pulling the whip in hand, replacing it with a wisp of red magic and then stepped up, "I'm on my own side."

"Hmph, let's see who is more useful between a traitor and a loyal servant."

"Oh? You mean, faithful dog?"

The witch man took out his green magic. Like an attacking fireball, he pointed it towards Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena raised her hand, stopping the green magic attack so that it was stuck in the air. In the next instant, the green magic was returned with even greater force towards the man.

The man had a speed that was not as good as Gu Yuena, so it could not completely dodge and was hit by a hint of magic that turned around in his arm.

It doesn't stop there. Gu Yuena instantly widened the magic wound on the witch indirectly and tore her skin and flesh to the point of breaking her visible bones.

The girl only slightly moved her hand, the witch man had cried out in pain and died right then and there. This made the other witches shocked.

The man who had just been killed was the strongest among them. But just die with a little magic.

Who is that girl exactly? Is he a monster?

"I haven't killed a human being in a long time." The pair of red irises glanced at the stunned witches. He showed a smile that did not narrow his eyes. "Do you not want to go report, or join him?"

Gu Yuena's provocative remarks infuriated them. Ignoring how their leader died so horribly, they charged forward to attack Gu Yuena simultaneously using magic.

They were sure, by fighting the girl together, they had a great chance of winning.

Unfortunately, they were wrongly estimated.

"I gave him a chance, you know." Gu Yuena flapped her wings and soared into the air.

His two hands that were emitting magic moved forwards, spreading red magic like a huge net and attacking all of them.

The witches felt their strength was suppressed by something invisible. Some of them had died from the huge net that pierced through their bodies. The rest, had to be faced with death squads who had suddenly changed sides.

The death squad could be controlled by the possessor of powerful soul force. The stronger it is, the easier it is to control it and wrest control from other witches.

They killed the death squad with full force. Until finally their strength was exhausted completely, Gu Yuena took over their minds using the forbidden magic she had learned.

Their eyes turned red, similar to Gu Yuena's magic color. Like a puppet, Gu Yuena moved her fingers to move their bodies to end their lives by stabbing themselves in the heart.

They are aware of what they are doing wrong, but cannot control their thoughts well until death comes to pass.

Without needing to smear her hands and beautiful clothes with blood, Gu Yuena killed all the witches in this place without any residue. If others saw him, he would be considered a monster incarnation.

That's why he kicked everyone out.

The remaining death squads collapsed just like that after Gu Yuena severed her soul force and killed them from within. The girl landed on the ground.

His face looks pale.

He had spent almost all of his strength to kill them in a short period of time. There are always limits to doing something big.

Xiao Hei also appeared to be Gu Yuena's steed who was exhausted.

"Miss, rest. We will return to Yuansu Palace with the others after this." Xiao Hei looked worried.

Gu Yuena smiled faintly, looking sincere compared to her previous smile. "true."

Only, his premonition became bad.

He did not know, someone out there waiting for his arrival to save the beloved 'thing.

Under the dark clouds and lightning that struck a place that was previously extremely majestic and beautiful, the figure of a masked man in a mysterious-looking black robe stood on top of the cliff.

He opened his eyes, seeing the flames and the sound of war as a melodious song to him.

"A long time," he said.

His feet are going down there. His body slowly floated in the air and shot out at high speed.

When he came to the battlefield, many troops cheered him while spilling blood with glee.
