Chapter 42. Angel's dire situation.

Yasenia looked around and tried to catch one of her human pursuers. Her half-red half-golden slit eyes glowed, 'I will make you guys spit everything no matter the methods I need to use!'

She heard a rustling sound and stopped. She saw a shadow going in one direction. She followed behind it stealthily. When she was nearing, she jumped on one branch of the cloud tree and hid in the crown of it. She advanced carefully from one cloud tree to another, hiding her scent and presence.

Yasenia didn't forget to watch out for cloud beasts. She didn't want to be surprised by them and be found out.

She continued following her for one minute until she was able to stop just above the shadow. She looked around and not seeing anything she dropped on top of it, *Bang!*.

When she landed on top of the female cultivator, she used the blunt tail tip in the hardened state and pierced her mouth reaching her throat. This made it impossible for her to speak. At the same time, Yasenia locked onto her limbs until she was completely subdued.

Yasenia smiled and said, "Since you are following me, you should know that my tail tip can change forms, right? You don't want it to suddenly become a sword if I get scared by your shouts..." Yasenia smiled and whispered softly, "…Right?"

The female cultivator knew that she was in trouble so she shook her head. She was courageous enough to attack Yasenia because there were almost 80 people following her! Now that she was alone, her courage got eaten by the dragon!

Yasenia quickly used one hand and took off her spatial ring. The female cultivator despaired even more. Then Yasenia started taking off her clothes! The woman looked at those half-red half-golden slit eyes while she felt Yasenia running her hands through her skin.

She started thinking of not so safe for children's thoughts and Yasenia's hands sent pleasant shivers up her spine. Yasenia whispered seductively, "What a good girl, don't move, I have to prepare you for our following action fufufu~"

The female cultivator felt a numbing feeling and wanted to swallow her saliva, but the hardened tail inside her mouth didn't let her. This led to her drool dripping from the sides of her mouth. Yasenia's tail coiled around her without taking out her tip and constricted her. This coupled with Yasenia grabbing her last undergarments with a seductive smile, made her heartbeat quicken.

Yasenia took it off and seeing nothing suspicious she looked up to the blushing girl. Yasenia approached her face and took off her tail from her mouth. The girl half-closed her eyes expecting something more. Yasenia opened the girl's mouth with her hands and looked inside, seeing that there wasn't any pill for suicide, she smiled beautifully.

The girl became mesmerized seeing her smile! That is until Yasenia opened her mouth. "Now that you have absolutely nothing to rely on. We can do two things. You tell me the truth and I let you go… Or I torture you until you tell me the truth and let you go. You can also choose to not tell me anything, but I don't really recommend it~"

The woman felt as if a basin of cold water dropped on her! Now Yasenia's smile appeared terrifying. "W-what do you w-want to know."

Yasenia looked at her like she was braindead. "Obviously, who did this? Why? What are your other objectives? I don't believe all of you are tied by an oath to not say anything. I also don't believe you are aiming for our treasures so you better think carefully when speaking."

The woman stammered, "I don't know the r-real person behind this. We are just l-lackeys of someone else, and we were lent to that person. We also were told to separate you and that big boobed blonde from the group, they said it was insurance in case you happened to be too strong."

Yasenia's eyes continued to turn redder and redder until only the furthest part of her iris was golden. This scared the nude woman below her, she asked coldly, "How do you communicate? Did your group manage to complete their task?"

The woman pointed at her ring carefully and said, "I-I have a jade inside, the last thing we know is that the blonde also separated and now is being followed to be captu-"

Yasenia's aura exploded and became terrifying. The woman below shrieked in fear as she looked at Yasenia. Yasenia asked in a calm voice, "Anything more?"

The woman hastily shook her head and pleaded, "P-please I truly told you e-everything, C-can I leave now? I didn't do anything, I swear!"

Yasenia looked down and said with a smile, "Of course, since you told me anything I should release you, right?"

The woman smiled and was about to thank her when *Stab!* She opened her eyes and looked at her chest that was pierced by her tail, she spoke, "W-Why? I told you everything *Cough*"

Yasenia looked at the dying girl and said "Did you really think I will let someone that tried to harm my loved ones live? Sorry dear, from the moment your group started this hunt, and you decided to not only harm me but also my loved ones, the Academy was destined to lose a lot of disciples."

Her tail changed to the barbed form and Yasenia pulled it out opening the girl's chest and spilling out her organs. Yasenia turned to the now unlocked spatial ring and took out the communication tool. Some messages were being broadcasted, "We are still following that blonde, she is truly a pain in the ass. She is able to leave formations while running and they are slowing down her pursuers a lot. She has already killed two of her 10 pursuers be careful. The other three seem to have changed directions and they are aiming to help the blonde. We need more people to slow them down, do not enter direct combat, Cecile is too powerful."

Yasenia continued listening and when she heard directions she started running toward Angel's direction at full speed. Focusing onwards she thought, 'Baby, hold on a little more, I'm reaching you before you know it.' Then, she accelerated again and disappeared with a sonic boom! That was a speed only achievable to a level five, Mental nourishing cultivator!

Meanwhile, Angel was running with a calm face. In front of her, there was a fork, one side had thick trees so she took it. Then she put 10 [Glass node] in the blind spot. When she saw people appearing she shot a light beam from her shield to one of the nodes and activated the formation, "[Laser barrage Formation]"

Then, without looking at the outcome she sped up again. The people following her had to dodge the lasers and lost a lot of speed. "Crap, these lasers are too deadly, don't get hit by them! If we remain uninjured, we will be able to catch up to her shortly."

After making some distance, Angel looked back and thought, 'I don't have much energy left, I can slow them down another five times at most, I think I would last more in a defensive battle now that they are weakened because of the chase. I'm sure that Cecile and the others are coming my way so I will bet on them, If they reach, I win. If they don't then...'

She continued running and after a while saw a 15m wide cloud ravine. She sprinted there and started setting up [Glass nodes]. After 30 or so seconds she saw her pursuers getting closer. She saw that they stopped 100m away.

When she was sure that they won't attack instantly, she sneered and spoke in her silvery voice, "You were chasing me like good hunting dogs, your owner must be proud. However, now that I stopped you don't have the guts to come near? How was that saying… Oh! Like owner like dogs, right? Cowards who don't dare to do things on their own!"

One of them was furious and was about to charge when the leader of that group saw Angel smile. "Stop! Can't you see that she is provoking you!? No wonder two people died, you are all brainless! Wait for the reinforcements!"

Angel was remembering some things taught by Yasenia 'If you are surrounded, you are hopeless to win, and If the enemies are cautious about you, bluff, make yourself appear strong, Taunt them! When the first person approaches, make a single attack at full strength and try to kill that person! It doesn't matter if it cost a lot of energy. If you are able to put on a confident face afterward, that will scare them even more, giving you time to wait for your allies.'

Angel smiled confidently, 'As expected my Yasenia is the best~, but this bluff won't last a lot… I have to prepare defensive formations before the first person attacks.' Angel walked around taunting them without losing eye contact and setting up more [Glass node] around.

Seeing that Angel was so relaxed before them, one cultivator lost his patience and attacked. Angel didn't lose the chance! She lit up the [Focused Laser formation] and an enormous amount of energy gathered in one fast, strong, and blinding laser beam *BOOM!*

The extremely fast laser hit the person squarely on the chest and killed him on the spot! Angel smiled and said, "Pffft, If I knew you would be killed this easily I wouldn't have run! Come at me so that I can send you all to your next life faster!"

After a while, the leader sent another person to attack. Angel lit up her [Glass prison formation] around her, that person attack clashed against her protective formation and *CLANG!* It got easily rebounded. Angel continued with a smile "Impressive attack, for you to not manage to put a scratch on my defensive formation... How about next time you attack I use a wide attack formation? You are becoming excellent training dummies~"

However, Angel was thinking, 'That attack consumed more than I expected. If I faced the ten of them from the beginning I would have already been caught. I don't know how much time I will be able to last...'

Some more time passed and after asking through the communicator the leader spoke, "Let's attack together if we cover each other we should be able to block her attacks. Moreover, the reinforcements are reaching in ten minutes."

The others nodded and charged! Angel activated the [Light prison formation] and combined them creating the [Laser prison formation]! When they approached the barrier started firing lasers and its endurance got enhanced.

One of them cursed and said, "What the hell is wrong with her!? Is she a walking fortress or what!?" *Bang!*

One cultivator got hit on his arm, "Ugh! The lasers are weaker than the previous formation! If we catch her before they arrive we will receive greater rewards! Moreover, this bitch has already killed three of our companions! Make her suffer!"

The attacks continued and Angel's energy was lowering extremely fast! 'Forget about ten minutes, in four minutes you guys might break the formation! What to do? Should I run again and leave this formation to block? But if I don't feed it energy, it won't last 20 seconds against the attacks of all these seven people!'

After one minute she bit her lip and thought, 'Let's stay two more minutes and use the rest of the energy to run, like that I will maximize the time until I get caught.'

Two minutes passed fast and Angel started running again! They finally realized that she was bluffing all the time and they started attacking faster! They took 25 seconds to break it and due to their haste, some of them got injured by the lasers.

Then the chase began again. In the first minute, a ranged attack hit Angel's waist and splashed a little bit of blood. She gritted her teeth and continued running through the ravine without losing speed.

In the third minute, Angel received another attack on her back creating another injury! But Angel didn't stop running.

In the fifth minute, she was almost tripped when she dodged an attack aimed at her legs! Her back injuries were starting to hurt a lot and her speed dropped. However, she saw the end of the ravine!

In the sixth minute, when she neared the end of the ravine, an attack hit her leg *Bang!* Angel let out a scream of pain, fell forwards, and rolled on the hard cloud ground. The pursuers finally caught up!

The leader approached Angel breathing heavily and kicked her on the stomach, *Gah!* "Fucking bitch, we finally caught you up, even if we can't damage you a lot, beating you up for a little while won't hurt anybody, right? Well, you excluded!" *Bam!*

Another kick landed on her stomach bending her. The leader took the communication jade and said, "We caught up to the blonde, you can send everybody following the dragon girl back. With this bait attracting her will be easy."

Angel's mouth opened and said looking at him in the eye, "You are all so dead, you don't know who you are messing with haha-" *Bam!*

This time the kick was to the face! "Shut up, we are more than one-hundred people. The only reason we didn't directly charge at the Six of you was that we didn't want to have too many casualties."

Seeing that Angel was still sneering at him, the man lifted his leg wanting to kick her again, but suddenly, he saw a shadow passing in front of him followed by the world spinning. 'What happened?'

The final thing he heard was the sonic boom that reached after his killer decapitated him.
