Chapter 3 : I am.... (3)

The moment the Demonic Wolves arrives after they had been chasing after a shadow of a person who stole their cub, as mad as they were the Demonic Wolves main concern was their cub and upon arrival to the location of the scent, they all stop suddenly and look toward the direction at the front entrance area near the stone gate. There lies the cub they have been chasing, in a pool of its own blood, badly cut from all direction and to make it worse was when it was thrown by the person who stole it, let's just said it's been smash to the ground with its limb bending all sort of way.

The pack was silent for a few breaths until they all swing their head back and started howling with fury and rage. With their eyes red and all reason lost they could only identify the group of female cultivators in front of the as the culprit and so begins a fight to the death between 4 female's cultivators against more than 100 Demonic Wolves that lost all reason fill with fury and rages.

Bing Lian:" Stand back!! Everyone follow the plan!!" She shouts out, she knew that this will be a tough fight. With her Rank 2 Spirit Realm cultivation she knew that if it she was by herself she could fight those Wolves for a while before activating her protective treasure as it drains a lot of her spiritual Qi, however since she is with her friends and juniors, she definitely knows that they won't last long in this fight as they are in the open area against all these Wolves.

Bing Lian:" Activate – Holy Pendant – Barrier of Earth & Water" She commanded, as her voice fell, the pendant on her neck which is her protective treasure activate with a shining light coming out of it. A translucence barrier made up of Water Qi and Earth Qi surround the 4 of them with their backs against the stone gate.

The moment the barrier is activate and form, the Wolves had already arrived in front of them, barring their fangs and claws against the barrier. Luckily Bing Lian activate it fast as these Wolves have gone insane with bloodlust and their speed have increase beyond normal Wolves, almost twice as fast.

Bing Lian" Now!! Attack as much as possible when you see an opening, the barrier will stop all attacks from the outside and it will allow attacks from the inside to go out, however I can't do anything as I have to concentrate and maintain my Spiritual Qi to supply the barrier for as long as possible" She said with conviction as she stare at those Wolves banging against the barrier non-stop.

Chen Li:" Let's go fellow sisters!! Flame Slash!!" She yelled out as she slashes the Wolves in front of her. With her Spiritual Qi coating her sword she displays a moves that belong to the Mortal Rank Martial Arts, cutting that Wolves in half as the Flame increase her power however each slashes will cost her a lot of Spiritual Qi. Her fellow sister also joins in with their respective moves consist of Wind and Earth. Since they are mostly in Mortal Rank Realm they can only access a small fraction of the Elements power and so with one constantly defend and 3 attacking, they are doing what they can fighting against this hordes of Demonic Wolves.

[30min Later – On the Cliff not far from the stone gate]

As Murong Shu and his henchmen arrive on the cliff where they could see everything happening below them. He notices that his second group have already gather and were waiting for him on this cliff as well. All together there are a total of 10 males' cultivator on this cliff, including Murong Shu, all of them belong to the same faction within the Academy as part of the Murong Clan.

As he looks down, he can see a gruesome fight have been ongoing for quite a while, multiple dead bodies of Demonic Wolves lying all around, near the entrance to the stone gate. Forming a semi-circle around a translucent barrier that's diming and flickering non-stop. A massive grin appears on his face as his plan have been working out well, now he knows that these ladies are almost drain of all their Spiritual Qi.

Murong Shu:" HEY LADIES, NEED A HAND!!" He shouted out with a massive smile on his smile, with his ugly looks it just makes him look worse than usual. As he longer cares if they know whether he scheme against them or not.

[ In Front of the Stone Gate]

It's only been 30min yet it feels like they've been a war for all eternity. Exhaustion, Fatigue, Tired, any words along those line would fit them, with sweat pouring down their body and Spiritual Qi running low. They grit their teeth as they try to hold on as long as possible. Luckily due to Bing Lian protective treasure combine with no higher rank beast, no one have been injure thanks to the Barrier holding on, but as time passes their Spiritual Qi is starting to run very low. As cultivator they would have medicines and pills to replenish their Spiritual Qi however due to their negligence they didn't bring it with them on this excursion of theirs. They regret their decision to listen to Murong Shu about coming out to the middle of nowhere in the mountain, but there's no use in crying over spill milk at this point.

Bing Ling:" keep attacking sisters! There's not many left!" She said to invoke hope within the hearts of her sisters knowing that they are reaching their limits very soon. As she looks over the crowd of frenzy Demonic Wolves, there was only 50 of them left, mainly the Low Rank beast have been kill while the Mid Rank one are still alive.

As she racks her brain to think of a solution to get her sisters out safely, she heard the one voice she loath and hate to hear the most in this situation. Following the source of the voice she found him with his group of henchmen standing on the cliff not far away.

Bing Lian:" MURONG SHU!!! ARE YOU STARTING A WAR WITH THE BING CLAIN!!!" She yelled out in anger and disgust with this man who scheme against her. There was no doubt in her mind that he was the culprit for this just by looking at his smirking face and the increase in numbers with his henchmen behind him. All clues point toward this man whom she didn't pay too much attention but alas it was too late when she realises it.

Murong Shu: "Eh? She found out? Oh well not that it matters" he said surprise but upon thinking he knew that she was smart lady but it was too late.

Murong Shu:" A war? No, no, no, how can there be a war when no one knows I am involved" he said with smirk. "rather than thinking about that, you should be thinking more about your situation my dear Lian-er" as lust and desire ignite in his eyes. Like a beast looking at his corner prey.

Her face turns with disgust and contempt as she listens to the words coming out of his mouth. She knew he was right about her situation with her sisters. Her Spiritual Qi is running low due to the constants consumption of her protective treasure with no way to replenishing her Qi. The lights are dimming and flickering, with the Wolves constant attacks.

As dire as the situation is, with her upbringing in the Bing Clan and her wisdom, she manages to quickly calm down thinking of a solution as trading words with that despicable man can wait until she resolved the wolves issue first.
