26 Sword

Both sides merely stared down each other. Tension rising, killing intent filled the atmosphere. Everyone stood still, not a muscle moved.

Birds was the first to flee the scene as they all flew away from the scene. The sound of fluttering feather and rustling leaves become the cue to start the battle.

Eleven pair of thin sword rose behind the white robed guy, Ying Jun. He makes a few complicated hand and finger movement while Feng Youya made a simple wave of hand, filled with killing intent.

Isabella Winchester let out an ear splitting roar at the instant the two foreign people made their move.

"Square moon doubles!!!"

The dozen people squad instantly made their own move, four people heads to the front forming a giant translucent shield, blocking all the flying swords.

While the other party is stunned from seeing their attack couldn't breakthrough the light shield, Bell's squad keep on the momentum.

Another four people seemingly trigger happy with a grenade launcher shoots all over the place not caring for wasting the wasted ammunition. There was no explosion however.

The boy in black and the old man both stood still seemingly pondering over something. Unaffected by the current fight, they continued with their thoughs.

"Isn't this mortal's guns and technology? Why aren't they using their body to fight if they are body cultivators?" The boy in black mumbled.

Broken from his pondering, the old guy's eye recover their clarity.

"Humph, it should be them deceiving us. I can clearly feel that miniscule amount of body cultivator's aura on them." The old guy replied.

"But 4th senior apprentice uncle, didn't we all felt body cultivator's aura when passing those gigantic cities? I thought it was a cultivator's city at first considering the light shield covering them appeared so powerful. Could mortal have surpassed us cultivators?"

Stroking his long white beard, the old man said with a regret. "The Daoist Association have warned every sect annually. They said to stay away from all the mortals... saying that they have grown dangerous."

With a scorn on his face, the boy in black retorted. "Humph, just the shield is dangerous? Those two are useless, can't even break a simple shield. Let me go and end this farce."

*Whoosh* The boy in black disappears.

The old man raised his hand in an attempt to stop him but it was too late.

"Young people truly are rash. Can't you think properly? If they can make a shield that can defend against the second realm of cultivation... surely they have an attack that can kill one. I wonder how will you react to your first setback Daozi? Hahaha."

Without noticing it, fogs began to emerge from the ground, growing slowly and covering everything in gray smoke.

Meanwhile inside the light shield, Squad leader Isabella could be seen with a serious face. 'The shield can last forever if this is the extent of their damage. They truly isn't a problem, what I'm worried about is the unseen enemy. In any case, i should reduce the number of enemy. Should i kill, disable or catch them alive?'

"Bell team, report. Reinforcement ETA 1 minute. Stay alive." A voice sounded on Isabella's communication gear.

'1 minute? I should launch an attack.'

"Reporting. We are engaged in four abnormal human. They are strong and wields thin sword. Their known method of attack is waving their arm and the thin sword would fly along with the movement. So far they can't break the level 1 quad shield. Advice on our action." Isabella reported.

"Bell! The boy is making a move. He's fast!" reported a squad member towards Isabella.

"Ready the level 2 shield. Everyone, Combat mode. Liu Yong, whats the status of omni-radar."

"Radar is 25 percent, able to support level 3 shield and light cannon. 30 minute is required for full capacity. 3 Kilometers is 'green'. Strong winds would delay the process captain." Said a guy typing fast at the hologram in front of him while.

"Bell team, eliminate everyone quickly. ETA 55 seconds." a voice came from Isabella's suit.

"Reinforcements. Please secure a perimeter. Just for safety measure. Comm out. Entering combat mode." Isabella then switched her communication gear of by pressing a set of buttons while uttering "Combat Mode."

All of the squad member could be seen doing the same thing as they all simultaneously changed into wearing the same type of suit, covering everything. Now, everyone looks the same, be it in their heights and size.

Outside the light shield, the attacks are getting fiercer, with each one shaking the earth.

Ying Jun's hand movement stopped and at the same time, his eleven pair of thin swords stopped in mid air, no longer attacking the shield. He chanted in a strange tongue. "Righteous blade of heavens, beheading numerous demons. Descend! Behead these cursed demonic cultivators!"

With a blow, a feather flew to the sky above from his hand. It flew so high, unrestrained by anything. And then, it became too small to be seen.

At that instant, everything seemed to be frozen. The winds stopped blowing, gushing water of the river came slow to a halt. No noise existed in this moment. The dark and gray sky cracked open. A bright golden shine escaped from the crack, penetrating through the thick clouds and trees.

Then a sword so large so you cant see it's hilt descended. With the golden light as guide, the sword stabbed through the unbreakable light shield. The earth quaked and cried, the lush forest shrinked in fear of the sword.

It continued to sink all the way till only it's previously unseen hilt was all that's left on top of the light shield. Then it crumbles, vanishing into the golden light once again.

The light shield was no longer there, all that was left, was a huge, bottomless hole on the ground. The atmosphere turned deathly quiet as if fearing the sword would descend once again should any noise was present.
