The Trail (17)

They all start attacking the enemy. Jin Baoyu has the knife she made and swinging it towards the man attacking Meiying and Li Dan E was defending from. Jin Baoyu attacked the man's arm and his weapon fell out of his hand. Kenzhi quickly moved in and grabbed the weapon that fell and used it to help Peng Ai.

Kenzhi was able to get the enemy off of Peng Ai and handed the weapon Jin Baoyu made for him to Peng Ai to use to defend herself.

Gu Xiang and Chu Yang originally wanted to help Peng Ai, Li Dan E, and Meiying but got stopped by one of the more powerful enemies.

The good thing was everyone is now free and together but the bad thing is that they are still surrounded.

The attackers are more aware of their movements now that they know the people they needed to kill were very powerful. They don't know if they want to actually finish their job now that their own life is on the line.

A couple of them ran away the moment their friends were killed and dropped their weapons and each one of them picked up a weapon to help them defend themselves.

With the help of the 3rd prince, everyone was able to defeat most of the enemy except for the leader. The leader didn't want to do anything but now that he is the only one left, he had no choice but to attack.

The leader made a powerful move, making the ground shake from the massive qi he was releasing all at the same time, aiming to hit Gu Xiang right in the chest.

Kenzhi (demon boy), who was one of the fastest ones in the group, quickly push Gu Xiang out of the way while trying to avoid the attack. Gu Xiang notices the Kenzhi coming forward and instead of trying to protect Kenzhi, they both get hit, one on the left arm, the other on the right.

Luckily because they are both Martial Kings, they avoided major casualties. Because the attack was split into 2 people, they both were able to get out alive with all limbs still attached.

Meiying and Xie Rong start first aid to those two while everyone else makes a circle around them to protect them.

"Hahaha! You think that your weaklings can defeat me!? Your strongest player has been defeated in one blow! I wonder how you guys will get out here alive." His smile sent chills down everyone's spin.

Everyone starts thinking for a plan to escape since they know it's going to be impossible to defeat him.

Gu Xiang was still able to talk even after such a powerful blow. "Everyone! He is a 5-star Martial King! Be careful!"

Because everyone's rank is lower then the Leader, they weren't able to figure out how to strong he was but because of the punch Gu Xiang took, He identified his rank.

"He's too strong! How are we able to defeat him!?" Jin Baoyu said.

The leader started gathering his qi aiming right at Chu Yang, who was the next strongest and focused on her.

Xie Rong bandage Gu Xiang quick and thought of an idea. "Everyone get down!"

Everyone but the leader got down and Xie Rong threw something by the feet of the enemy and it puffed into white powder spreading fast into the air.

This was a perfect opportunity to escape and they all start running, fast, in separate directions sticking with at least one person.

"What the hell is this!?" Screamed the leader as he tries to get away from the smoke of white.

"Xie Rong! Great Idea!" said Li Dan E. "Sleeping powder bomb, I thought it was useless when you made it!" Li Dan E, Kenzhi, Zhang (Wang) Haocun, and Wang Ping (3rd Prince) escaped together.

Xie Rong smiled feeling proud of himself. They needed weapons and since he didn't know how to make swords, he made a chemical bomb. It's not like an explosion but he was hoping it would help them get away from spiritual beast if they do encounter them.

"You thought you were going to get away!!" The Leader wasn't affected by the smoke bomb and ran full speed towards them, aiming at Xie Rong's face.
