RAD Chapter 103

Severed limbs and fresh blood were scattered all over the ground, with both sides staring intently at the last remaining enemy. Mr. Huo stared at the sect master of the Holy Teachings before him, keeping an eye on her movements while gasping for breath to recover his spiritual power and physical strength. He quickly scanned the surroundings. Their side still had about ten people with combat abilities, while the other side had only five left. It was a ratio of two to one, leaving them with a good chance of victory.

Moreover, his precious disciple was still hiding nearby! Attacking from behind and the like, he had become quite adept at this business. Truly a worthy to become his disciple!

“Demon, you should just surrender!” Mr. Huo shouted sternly, “Otherwise, there is only one outcome–death!”

“Hmph! You hypocrites, thinking you can make me die? Not a chance!” The Sect Master disdainfully wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, “Today, I will ensure that none of you make it out alive! Even if we lose in the end, I’ll make sure all of you perish with us!”

As soon as she finished speaking, the two sides engaged in battle once again. The Sect Master took a bamboo whistle from her waist pouch and began rhythmically blowing into it.

“Not good! She’s using sound wave techniques, quickly seal your ears with spiritual power!” Mr. Huo shouted to everyone present as soon as she blew the first note, while ruthlessly tossing three ice talisman spells at her.

Unfortunately, they were just a little too late. Some of the injured could not seal their ears in time. After hearing the music, they felt as if an ice pick was being driven into their brains. They collapsed to the ground in pain.

Seeing this scene, Mr. Huo paused briefly, then opened his mouth and began to sing out loud. One have to say that the effect was quite good. Didn’t you see the Sect Master’s gloomy expression as she put down the bamboo whistle?

“Heh!” The Sect Master let out a cold snort and then put away the bamboo whistle and gestured to the few people under her. They quickly gathered together.

Mr. Huo’s group also huddled together, but they did not back down, but continued to attack the opposing side relentlessly.

At this time, Luo Xiao had once again hidden himself, waiting for the next opportunity. His position was right behind the enemy, allowing him to clearly see their movements.

Watching their rapidly changing hand gestures, Luo Xiao’s brow furrowed deeply: Not good, they are…

He did not hesitate and immediately threw the talisman spell with the strongest attack power–the Gale Spell. The howling wind immediately assaulted the group, forcing them to divert some of their power to resist the attack.

“Master, they are trying to perform a blood sacrifice to summon a spirit. Quick, stop them!” Luo Xiao shouted loudly as he rushed towards where Mr. Huo was.

“What?” Mr. Huo’s eyes lit up at the sight of his precious disciple, but he immediately became tense upon hearing his words. So without further ado, he launched a fierce attack with the others.

Soon, the two people responsible for the defense were struck down one after another, and with the Sect Master still completing the complicated formation, they had no way to resist further. The woman in black glared viciously at Mr. Huo’s group, dragged the nearby Healer Hua and stabbed him in the heart with a sharp knife when he was caught off guard, then quickly pulling it out before also stabbing herself in the chest, chanting an incantation to sacrifice the blood essence within their bodies to power the formation.

Having lost their blood essence and exhausted the last traces of their spiritual power, the woman in black gave the young Sect Master a longing look and closed her eyes peacefully. As for the reluctantly sacrificed Healer Hua, a ferocious expression appeared on his face as he glared wide-eyed, muttering a spell under his breath, then drew his last breath with a strange smile.

The Sect Master was preoccupied and didn’t have the time to grieve. Taking advantage of the sacrificed blood essence, she was finally able to complete the array just before the last wave of attacks from Mr. Huo and the others arrived. Seeing the terrifying evil spirit that appeared before her, she couldn’t help but smile excitedly.

This was bad, she actually managed to complete the ritual. The other people present all had the same thought flash through their minds when they saw the situation.

Mr. Huo looked back at the others behind him, as well as the few still clinging to life on the ground, and the wrinkles on his brow deepened.

He turned around and quietly instructed the people behind him: “Those with little spiritual energy left in their bodies, help the injured on the ground and slowly retreat outside. Those with remaining spiritual power, stay here and continue fighting.”

Hearing this, aside from Mr. Huo and Luo Xiao, two others stayed behind, while the rest helped the nearest injured and began retreating. After all, they knew that staying would not help and would only become a burden.

“None of you are leaving here alive today!” The Sect Master waved her hand, and the evil spirit viciously pounced towards the group.

“Quick, get out of here!” Mr. Huo shouted and then threw a protective talisman to block the spirit’s attack.

Luo Xiao and the other two immediately stepped forward, also throwing out attack and defensive talismans. For the moment, the two sides were in a tense standoff.

Seeing this, the Sect Master immediately pulled out the Dead Souls Bell from her robes, intending to summon more spirits to increase her offensive power.

Just as she successfully summoned two highly aggressive spirit bodies, the situation quickly turned in her favor. At this point, the other people had already safely retreated from the area.

Seeing the situation in front of him, Luo Xiao turned to his master and said, “Master, I think we should start heading out too.”

Mr. Huo nodded and said to the other two, “You go first, I’ll bring up the rear.”

The other two nodded and slowly retreated. As for Luo Xiao, he stayed right by his master’s side. He decided that if they couldn’t avoid the final attack, he would just directly pull his master into the immortal tree space.

So he didn’t object to the other two leaving first. After all, the existence of the space was a taboo. The fewer people who knew, the better. You know, people’s heart are separated by their stomach. Who knows if those two might talk nonsense after getting out?

Seeing the situation, the Sect Master finally erupted. Some strange black patterns began to emerge on the exposed skin all over her body, and her eyes turned completely red as she glared ferociously towards Mr. Huo and the others.

“Master, what’s happening to her?” Luo Xiao looked at her inhuman appearance and a hint of uneasiness appeared in his heart.

Mr. Huo looked at her solemnly and took out the life-saving talisman on his body. “She’s planning to sacrifice herself, to take us down with her!”

“What?” Luo Xiao’s eyes widened in surprise. He quickly glanced back. They were less than 100 meters from the exit, and the other two had already hastily left when they realized that the situation was dire. His eyes darkened slightly as he sighed inwardly: Oh well, that’s just how people are…

Just as the sacrifice was about to be completed, a twisted smile appeared on the Sect Master’s face. But then, to her horror, her eyes suddenly widened.

It was seen that she was just one note away from completing the chant. But the two souls she summoned suddenly turned around and attacked her. She watched helplessly as they devoured her own body, as she had already exhausted her physical and spiritual strength from the previous sacrifice.

As her consciousness gradually faded, her control over the evil spirit began to weaken, and eventually it disappeared into the air. Her eyes were filled with resentment. She turned her head with difficulty to look at the dead Healer Hua on the ground, gritting her teeth to say, “Good, very good! You old thing, I…”

Unfortunately, she couldn’t finish her words. She stopped breathing, filled with resentment, dissatisfaction, and regret.

Luo Xiao and Mr. Huo looked at the scene in disbelief and couldn’t help but look at each other. They couldn’t believe that things were really…over?

“Hey, Master, why did you hit me?” Luo Xiao suddenly covered his head and glared at Mr. Huo unhappily.

“Hehe, it’s nothing.” Mr. Huo said with an embarrassed smile, “I was just making sure I wasn’t dreaming.”

“Then you should hit yourself!” Luo Xiao rolled his eyes at him exasperatedly.

Mr. Huo directly reached out and pinched Luo Xiao’s ear. “What’s the matter, you’ve learned to talk back now?”

“No, no, no.” Luo Xiao immediately raised his hands and begged for mercy.

“Hmph!” Mr. Huo finally let go of his hand with satisfaction and started walking towards the exit.

Seeing this, Luo Xiao quickly followed and then slyly approached Mr. Huo and said, “Master, to be honest, with your tone-deaf voice, the songs you sing are truly magical!”

“You stinky boy, are you asking to be beaten?” Mr. Huo’s face flushed with embarrassment as he raised his hand and chased after Luo Xiao towards the exit.

Seeing Old Man Yu and Old Man Ouyang who had just arrived outside the cave, Mr. Huo and Luo Xiao both breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that they had emerged victorious today.

The others could not hide their excited smiles upon seeing the two come out. From today on, the Holy Teachings would no longer exist!

The joyous emotions spread, and everyone, regardless of their disheveled appearance, burst into laughter and supported each other as they left the place.

Luo Xiao also supported the now somewhat exhausted Mr. Huo as they prepared to leave. But after just a few steps, Luo Xiao suddenly stopped.

“What’s wrong, Xiao Xiao?” Mr. Huo asked puzzledly.

Luo Xiao shook his head, always feeling like he had forgotten something, but every time he tried to recall it, the voices around him interrupted his train of thought. Forget it, it must not have been important, right?

Meanwhile, the pitiful Ye Lan sat inside the immortal tree space, holding his growling stomach and silently praying that his lover would come in soon and let him out to have a meal.
