Chapter Two: Bloody Night in the Imperial Capital of the Wind and Moon Continent

The blood mist that was about to reach his face suddenly transformed into countless tiny, fly-sized, blood-red bats with sharp, needle-like mouths, emitting a dizzying, booming sound. They swarmed towards Yunaya, overwhelming him.

"Boundless Bats!"

One of the five legendary temple techniques, a combination of magic, martial arts, and ancient arts he had only heard about from his master, was now appearing before his eyes. Yunaya's expression changed several times in an instant. The power of his opponent stirred up boundless pride within him. Since leaving his sect, he hadn't encountered such an opponent in a long time. He felt his blood begin to boil.

Compared to the Blood Bats' ultimate technique, "Boundless Bats," the Red Spider's "Spirit Serpent Binding Body" was slightly inferior. Yunaya quickly realized this. He took a deep breath, his true energy flowing rapidly within him, while simultaneously opening up some space in front of him to allow the Red Spider to coil around him.

Just as Yunaia had calculated, the Red Spider's spiraling energy, along with her supple, serpentine body, coiled around his body following the flow of energy.

Just as the Red Spider was about to unleash her energy for a further entanglement and killing move, she heard Yunaia's deafening shout, like a thunderclap in a clear sky, which made her mind tremble violently. Looking up, she suddenly noticed that Yuna's face had turned deathly pale, as translucent as millennia-old ice on a snow-capped mountain. His eyes, in particular, radiated a chilling aura like tangible swords, piercing her very soul.

In their very first real fight, all three had unleashed their final, deadly moves—something utterly impossible under normal circumstances. These kinds of moves were reserved by experts as last resorts to protect themselves and deliver a fatal blow. Each use consumed a tremendous amount of energy and stamina. In fact, if this attack failed to kill their opponent, their only option was to escape. Normally, they could only unleash such a move twice before being completely defenseless and vulnerable. Therefore, after using it once, their remaining strength had to be used for survival.

Yunaya's body shuddered violently in mid-air. The shockwave spread outwards, and Red Spider felt as if countless icy hands were pulling her apart in all directions. Her protective true energy was utterly unable to withstand the needle-like chill. The spiraling energy surrounding her shattered under the impact of Yunaya's powerful energy wave.

"Kler!"

With a scream from Red Spider, Yunaya heard the cracking sound coming from his arm. He knew his arm couldn't withstand the intense clash between Red Spider's spiraling energy and his own Xuanbing energy; the result of the tearing was a broken arm bone.

All of this happened in a very short time. Yunaya's arm bone broke, Red Spider's body was thrown into the air by the shockwave, and at that moment, the Blood Bat's attack reached Yunaya. To onlookers, all they saw was a cloud of blood mist completely enveloping the three figures, from which came shouts and eerie, chilling sounds.

Yunaya, facing the swarm of blood-red bats, glared and roared, unleashing a torrent of pure white true energy. The white gas dispersed in all directions upon reaching the air, mingling with the blood-red bats, creating a striking red and white spectacle.

Yunaya's timing was impeccable; just as the blood-red bats surrounded him, their sharp beaks poised to pierce his protective aura and strike, he unleashed his extremely yin and icy Xuanbing true energy. At that moment, these seemingly invincible blood-red bats revealed their only weakness. The ingenuity of this maneuver was beyond the comprehension of outsiders, even unimaginable to the two within the fray.

"Poof, poof..."

At first, there were soft sounds, then the roar of crashing waves, and finally, a deafening roar like a raging torrent crashing against a chasm.

"Boom!"

The red and white gas cloud suddenly exploded, the incredibly powerful force spreading in all directions, sending sand and stones flying, snapping all the roadside trees on both sides of the street, and even the nearby houses shook violently.

No one knew what had happened. Even Yunaia and Blood Bat were propelled half a meter into the air by the violent shockwave, flying about six zhang away. Red Spider, whose body was already flying in mid-air, was now thrown more than ten zhang away.

Those who were trying to close in were even worse off, especially the assassins at the very front. They were directly hit by the shockwave, their limbs torn apart, blood splattering everywhere; not a single intact corpse could be found. Those assassins following behind, further away from the main battle, were like straws blown by a strong wind, staggering and rolling on the ground in utter chaos.

Only a few exceptionally skilled assassins, though also at the forefront, managed to avoid becoming mangled corpses like their subordinates.

But witnessing such horrific fighting and such immense power, they were speechless, their minds blank.

"...Can...it...be...like...this..."

"Can...a...person...do...this...?"

They looked at each other, their eyes filled with utter horror. Such power was beyond even their revered master, the Flying Eagle Elder.

Landing on the rooftop, the moment his feet touched the tiles, Yunaya felt a surge of blood and qi in his chest, as if his limbs and bones were falling apart. He couldn't circulate his internal energy, a sweet taste rose in his throat, and a metallic stench filled his nostrils.

"Ugh...uh..."

He vomited two mouthfuls of blood, and Yunaya was horrified to discover that there were blood clots mixed in with the blood. He knew that he had truly injured his internal organs, and if he didn't receive timely treatment, his power would be greatly reduced, and he might even be in danger of dying.

He dared not delay, forcefully suppressing the surging blood in his chest, and swallowed the mouthful of blood that had reached his throat. His originally snow-white face was now flushed red, almost dripping blood.

With a deafening roar, Yunaya's figure soared into the sky, like a shooting star, quickly passing through everyone's sight. Seeing that Yunaya still possessed such momentum even after being injured, no one present dared to get up and give chase, all watching helplessly as Yunaya's figure disappeared into the night.

Although Blood Bat and Red Spider knew that Yunaya was actually at her last gasp and utterly vulnerable, they were too weak to even speak. After their internal organs were damaged by the Xuanbing True Qi, they clearly felt as if their internal organs were numb, and the chill seeping from their bone marrow made them feel as if they were in the coldest, most desolate place in hell.

They knew they absolutely could not allow the Xuanbing True Qi to completely invade their internal organs, otherwise, only death awaited them. They could only use the last bit of life-protecting true energy they had left to protect their internal organs from the invasion of the Xuanbing True Qi.

By the time the assassins, having regained their senses, escorted Blood Bat and Red Spider to Girimans' temporary command post, the entire city of Esnia had descended into carnage. Everywhere, deafening shouts of battle filled the air, and the occasional bursts of flame into the sky looked terrifying under the night sky.

The ministers belonging to Yunaia's faction, as well as some ministers who were leaning towards Yunaia, had no idea that while Yunaia was busy holding meetings to determine the heir to the throne, Gilimans secretly bribed Jarard's bodyguards and held a meeting with Jarard.

After some bargaining, Gilimans persuaded Jarard to defect at the cost of the position of Grand General of the Army. Of course, Yunaia's behavior at the funeral hall, which displeased Jarard, was also one of the reasons for his defection. Yunaia, busy winning over his ministers, did not pay much attention to the innate bloodthirsty aura of his trusted general, which was completely unleashed under Gilimans's influence.

As a result, Esnia's strength underwent a fundamental change overnight. Gilmans now had the city guards of the North and West Governorates, and the shutdown of the East Governorate gave them more freedom of movement. Meanwhile, Yunaya, which was originally the strongest, was left with only the South Governorate. Although Haiyingyang's army would soon arrive in Esnia, in this gap, his strength was inferior to Gilmans'.

With Gilmans having meticulously planned the entire operation, he decided to use force to eliminate any opposition to him from Esnia overnight. However, Yunaya hadn't anticipated such a large-scale rebellion by Gilmans in Esnia. Such an action was unprecedented since the founding of Fast, as openly deploying an army to seize the throne was clearly a declaration of rebellion, unlikely to gain the approval of the nobles or the army.

Moreover, most of the nation's army was currently under Yunaya's control. Gilmans taking such a huge risk was completely out of character for him.

Despite his calculated moves, Gilimans's operation was a resounding success. He nearly killed Yunaya in the long street, and his faction's ministers were almost entirely wiped out, killed on the spot. Only Haiyingyang, severely wounded after being attacked by two remnant gods, escaped their encirclement with the help of his Eagle Guards. Now, Jeft and Jarard's armies are closing in, trapping him and Yunaya in a mansion in the western suburbs.

However, the situation in Esnia quickly spiraled out of control. The hastily assembled Yunaya retainers and Gilimans's retainers clashed in a chaotic battle. Having received rigorous training, they were slightly stronger than Gilimans's retainers, but they had been outmaneuvered and their opponent's plan was more meticulous, putting them at a significant disadvantage in the fight.

Tens of thousands clashed throughout the city, plunging Esnia into chaos. Especially after the Girimans' retainers received support from the Knights Templar, the leaderless Yunaya retainers completely lost their fighting strength, scattering and spreading chaos to every corner of Esnia.

After a desperate battle, the severely wounded Yunaya and Sea Eagle, protected by hundreds of Eagle Guards, escaped Esnia. The Southern Governor, Marco Bwe, who stayed behind to cover their retreat, was killed at the city gates.

Jarard, enraged by the bloodlust, and Jeft both knew the consequences of Yunaya and Sea Eagle's escape would be dire. Jeft immediately led the city guards in a desperate pursuit, but Jarard reacted completely differently. He ordered his men to wreak havoc in the city, especially targeting the residences of ministers belonging to Yunaya's faction. His troops engaged in widespread slaughter, burning, looting, and arson, leaving rivers of blood flowing.

At first, Gilmans tried to control the situation, but he quickly realized it was impossible. Even his own retainers joined the looting. Beasts, blinded by slaughter and bloodshed, roamed the streets of Esnia.

Esnia wept. This once-renowned continental city had completely lost its former glory. That night, almost every household in Esnia was fleeing for their lives, bleeding profusely.

Swords converged, energy gathered, wind and thunder roared. Ye Tianlong was surrounded by enemies, his life hanging by a thread. Suddenly, he spun around, launching a surprise attack mid-flight. With a feint, he redirected the attacks to his right. Controlling his energy at will, he dodged to the left, his divine weapon, Fiery Blaze, swirling around a guard. Upon contact, the guard's sword and shield flew off simultaneously. Then, he slashed down, an irresistible force causing the guard to bleed from his mouth and nose, dying instantly. He

then flashed to the side of another guard and delivered a powerful kick to his chest. Simultaneously, the divine weapon, Blazing Fire, struck from behind, piercing the guard's shield.

"Ah..."

The guard who was struck screamed, falling backward, his ribs shattered, blood gushing from his mouth.

"Ouch..."

The guard behind him had just emerged from behind the shield to pass his sword when he screamed in agony. The divine weapon, Blazing Fire, had already arrived, its speed too fast for him to retreat behind the shield again. He frantically tried to parry, but how could his sword withstand the divine weapon, Blazing Fire? He watched helplessly as the divine weapon pierced his right chest, straight through his lung.

Almost simultaneously, Ye Tianlong twisted his body, the divine weapon, Blazing Fire, swirling slightly. The surging sword light at the tip drew a beautiful semi-circle in the air, sweeping across Xia Feng, who had just landed and missed his attack, with the speed of a shooting star.

Xia Feng also happened to turn around, sweeping his sword horizontally.

Ye Tianlong was determined to win, his momentum like a mad tiger. With a "clang," the two swords clashed, and Xia Feng's sword instantly broke in two, the upper half flying high into the air.

Ye Tianlong dodged to the side, his divine weapon, the Blazing Fire, flashing through the air with lightning speed. With a "snap," the tip of the sword pierced the left side of the guard who had rushed in front of Xia Feng, piercing through his chest.

Xia Feng, his face already deathly pale, had resorted to his most unsightly moves to save his life, rolling and crawling on the ground, using everything from "lazy donkey roll" to "snake crawl."

His guards swarmed forward, desperately shielding their commander and covering Xia Feng's escape from Ye Tianlong's Blazing Fire sword.

"You will all die!"

Ye Tianlong roared, his bloodlust raging. His Blazing Fire sword spun and struck, each strike as wild as lightning, routing the guards before him. Men and horses fell, and more than ten men fell in an instant.

Seeing this situation from the gate tower of the manor, Ji Wujiu immediately ordered a full-scale attack.

The eager guards charged out like tigers emerging from the mountains. Xia Feng, whose mind had been stunned by Ye Tianlong's prowess, dared not engage in battle.

"Withdraw!"

At this command, Xia Feng's army began to regroup and retreat quickly under the cover of archers.

After several fierce exchanges with Shura, Blood Hand Scorpion was secretly surprised. His martial arts had improved greatly over the years, and he had thought he could rival True Monarch Fengyue, but it seemed he was still no match. Even his disciple Shura had improved so much that he could now match him.

As the speed and power of their attacks increased, sweat beaded on their foreheads, their expressions grew increasingly serious, and the circle between them tightened, indicating they were about to engage in close combat.

In another head-on clash, both men retreated half a step. At this moment, two retreating guards, seeing an opportunity, charged at the still-unsteady Shura with a sword and a spear, attacking from behind with overwhelming ferocity.

Shura, as if possessed, let out a strange howl, reached back with his left hand, and with lightning speed, caught the sweeping spear. He spun swiftly, his sword flashing like lightning, decapitating the guard in one strike.

Just then, the other guard's sword touched Shura's body, but Shura's face appeared before him, grinning. The massive sword was already at his chest, startling him so much that his face turned ashen. He felt the sword in his hand as heavy as a mountain, unable to move freely. Before he could even think, the massive sword was upon him. He had no choice but to drop his sword and retreat, instinctively reaching out to strike the sword at his chest.

It was too late. The massive sword, with unbelievable speed, pierced his heart. Although his palm struck the sword, his hand broke in the process.

With a single sword strike, he lifted the guard's corpse and tossed it towards Bloodhand Scorpion, who was charging towards him. Shura's figure then surged forward, a massive sword flower blooming in the air.

At the same moment, Ye Tianlong also slew a lagging guard, flashing to Bloodhand Scorpion's side. His divine weapon blazed with lightning speed, the sword moving with thunderous force, delivering a devastating strike. The two attacked with perfect coordination, instantly forcing Bloodhand Scorpion into a desperate situation, leaving him with no choice but to retreat.

The shouts were thunderous as the Imperial Guard arrived. Seeing the situation was dire, Bloodhand Scorpion seized the opportunity to leap out of the fray, forcefully deflecting a close-range Imperial Guard soldier with a palm strike, knocking away several javelins thrown at him, and with a roar, retreated like the wind behind Xia Feng's army.

After only a few hundred paces of pursuit, Ye Tianlong ordered a retreat. He knew they were currently deep within enemy territory; if they continued the pursuit and encountered a large enemy force, their small unit would be utterly surrounded and doomed.

According to the original plan, Ye Tianlong led his men away from the manor quickly, retreating towards Dengzhou along the pre-selected route. Less than an incense stick's time after they left the manor, Xia Feng's army surrounded it from all sides.

Upon discovering that Ye Tianlong's troops had retreated, Xia Feng immediately ordered his army to launch a full-scale search. He knew his family's situation; his father, Xia He, absolutely could not appear during the battle between the two armies. Otherwise, his 100,000-strong army would be almost wiped out, and he himself would have no chance of recovery.

Six armies of a thousand men each, led by dozens of skilled trackers, pursued Ye Tianlong and his men in the direction they had retreated. The remaining troops were all equipped with fast horses, ready to pursue and kill them as soon as they spotted them on their way to Dengzhou.
