Counter Attack

The ground of the dam trembled as bricks and stones shifted, and several Sea Race creatures tumbled, caught completely off-guard. The sudden attack was followed by screams that echoed through the air, but before the creatures could react, human cultivators launched their assault!

"Charged Kick!!!"

Several players moved in unison, their legs slamming into one creature's head with bone-crushing force. The creature's skull shattered, its body crumpling lifelessly to the ground.

"Bone Spear Throw!!!"

With synchronized precision, players raised their bone spears and hurled them, each one piercing through the creatures' bodies with brutal accuracy.

One-third of the Sea Race warriors were slain in that single round of ambush!

"Fight back! Fight back now!" The Sea Race commander, stationed behind the dam, barked orders in a panic. Creatures scrambled, raising their bone spears in retaliation, unleashing a barrage in every direction.

"I'll dodge, I'll hide, hahaha!" With Indomitable Bear's training, most of the players danced around the attack, evading the spears with ease.

However, a few unlucky players weren't quick enough. A bone spear pierced one, dropping them to the ground in a spray of blood.

"Now do you see? Do you understand how strong we are?" One of the Sea Race creatures roared, having slain several players. His voice was full of venom as he tried to instill fear in the remaining humans.

But the response from the players was far from what he expected. They merely laughed.

"You can't even avoid this? What a joke!" one of the players mocked.

"The training was wasted on you," another player snickered, even as their fallen comrade's body lay mangled at their feet.

"These bastards actually dared sneak attack us?!" One enraged Sea Race creature roared, charging with a bone spear aimed at a nearby player.

But the creature's attack was futile. It was too slow. The player, weaving in and out, attacked from every angle, striking until the creature fell, unable to land a single blow.

"Retreat! Back to the water!!!" The Sea Race commander saw his warriors being picked off one by one and, in desperation, ordered a retreat.

"Where's the Frost Arrows Brigade?" Star's voice rang out, sharp and commanding.

Huwew!

Ten players advanced, their movements synchronized. The Frost Arrows were drawn with deadly precision.

"Fire!" Star shouted.

Swish~ Swish~

The volley of Frost Arrows tore through the air, striking the feet of ten Sea Race warriors. Frost spread like a poison, encasing their feet in thick ice.

The Sea Race, already weak on land, found their movements painfully slow as the frost weighed them down. It was too late to escape.

"Kill!" The players charged, picking off the Sea Race creatures one by one as they struggled helplessly in their frozen state.

"Water Control!!!" The Sea Race commander, desperate and filled with fury, gathered the remaining strength within him and called upon the power of the sea. A violent torrent rushed towards the players, water surging in a crushing wave.

"It's Water Control! Everyone, use Brother Ming's method!" One player shouted, rallying the others.

With a firm resolve, four or five players stood tall, their bodies braced. They adopted He Yiming's technique, forming the Azure Emperor Immortal Body!

The torrent surged toward them, but it didn't push them back. Instead, the players stood firm, their feet rooted like massive trees, the water failing to overpower them.

" Kill!!!" Star bellowed, his rage fueling his next move. With a wave of his hand, ten Frost Arrows shot out in perfect synchrony, striking the Sea Race commander.

The ice quickly spread, covering his body, until only his face remained exposed, twisted in fury and disbelief.

"You think you've won?!" The Sea Race commander roared, his voice thick with anger. "Once Zrom destroys your sect, we will come for you all!"

Star's lips twisted into a mocking grin. "Heh, they'll have to get back first."

Without another word, he motioned for the players. A dozen of them, armed with bone spears, stepped forward. With cold precision, they skewered the Sea Race commander alive.

Turning away, Star's gaze shifted to the distant Sect. "Now, we see what happens to your precious sect," he said quietly, a sinister smile crossing his face.

Meanwhile, at the stairs leading to the Sect…

"Where are the humans?" Zrom muttered, his brow furrowing. He had advanced through the entire area without seeing a single human cultivator. The sect was ahead, but something felt off.

The strongest cultivator he had encountered so far was only at the First Stage of Body Forging Realm. Zrom's instincts screamed that something was wrong. He halted, his sharp gaze scanning the area.

Then, a figure appeared at the top of the stairs.

"I've been waiting for you," Indomitable Bear's voice was calm, almost amused.

"Kill him!" Zrom roared, raising his hand. Instantly, several Sea Race warriors hurled their bone spears at the figure.

But Zrom's eyes widened in shock. The human in the eighth stage of Body Forging Realm barely moved,he twisted his body ever so slightly, and every single spear missed.

"Careful, this one might be an elder of the sect!" Zrom's face darkened as he quickly realized the situation.

In Sea Race lore, elders were the true powerhouses of any sect, far stronger than the disciples. This human must be one of them!

"An elder at the eighth stage of Body Forging Realm?" Zrom sneered. "Let's see how long you last against us."

With a wave of his hand, the Sea Race warriors surged forward, a tidal wave of deadly force.

But just as they advanced, Indomitable Bear's lips curved into a sly grin.
