Struggling to the End

The Three Bloody Stars merely laughed at his provocation. 

"Are you really so confident about that? You know who we are and yet you are confident? One swing from my sleeves and you'll all be on the ground frothing at the mouth!" said the masked woman.

"Not only are you outnumbered but there is only one Sky Realm Expert amongst you while there are three of us. Just surrender now and your death will be painless. Better yet, tell us what you've found and we might let you go. After all, we're only here to investigate", she said to them. 

The other members of the Azure Wind Kingdom shared quick glances before looking to their leader for a decision. 

"Don't even think about it, remember who we're up against! They're nothing but lies!" 

But the Three Bloody Stars shook their heads, looking past him and to his men.
