“Refrain from scattering about! Charge in one direction!” commanded Yusra as favonovel.com attempted to regroup favonovel.com men.
Unfortunately, things had gone completely haywire. Not only had several of the cultivators fallen, but many others had run off in all directions, too panicked to even consider heeding Yusra’s orders!
Only Hauk, Master Greendrake, Mr. Sevenom, and a few other experienced cultivators ended up following Yusra’s orders.
Even so, the nether soldiers were extremely difficult to take down. Just as Hauk had said, it was near impossible to accurately locate their demonic sources. One soldier may have hidden it in his head, while the other his stomach! With that in mind, the party would be long dead if they simply focused on identifying where all their demonic sources were.
Thankfully, the ones who had regrouped understood that, which was why they were simply using attacks that would keep the nether soldiers at bay for now. Eventually, however, Master Greendrake yelled, “All of you, get on ahead! I’ll be using an angelic artifact!”
Following that, everyone watched as Master Greendrake tossed a jade bottle into the air and after chanting something, a surge of water came gushing out, washing away any nearby nether soldiers.
Unfortunately, despite the massive surge of water, the nether soldiers quicldy began piling up to form a humongous mountain of bodies…! Seeing that, Yusra shouted, “It doesn’t seem like the water is going to hold them off for long! Let’s get a move on while we can!”
Naturally, everyone agreed, and the survivors quickly ran into the valley’s hinterlands… Thankfully, they soon found a cave which they hid in to discuss their next course of action.
To think that they had started off with at least five hundred people… In the end, that ambush left them with only ten known survivors! Among them were Mr. Greendrake, Mr. Sevenom, Hauk, and a few other Domiensch Masters.
“We had made such thorough plans, but we hadn’t anticipated that the nether soldiers had all turned into demons..!” muttered Hauk in a guilty tone.
“Indeed… Either way, it seems that our little excursion is doomed for failure this time… Even with angelic artifacts, I simply can’t see being able to take on so many nether soldiers!” added Master Greendrake with a frown.
After a brief pause, Yusra was prompted to ask, “Speaking of which, where’s the old man who came along with you, Mr. Crawford…?”
Naturally, favonovel.com was referring to Finnley. Gerald, for one, had a feeling that Finnley had already sensed the nether soldiers’ presence way before anyone else had. With that in mind, Gerald felt that Finnley had his own reasons for not even stepping out earlier.
While favonovel.com didn’t know what was on that old man’s mind, Gerald simply replied, “Unfortunately, we got separated… That aside, everything has a weakness, so I believe there must be a way for us to restrain those demonic corpses!”
Following that, Gerald fished out Filipe’s Heavenly Guard Order and upon seeing it, the surprised Master Greendrake, who was naturally familiar with the angelic artifact-couldn’t help but ask, “Are… You planning on using the Heavenly Guard Order, Mr. Crawford?”
“I am, though I’ll be needing your help. From what I’ve heard, the Heavenly Guard Order is capable of restraining demons and devils, correct? I don’t really know how to activate it, but since this was initially yours, I’m assuming you know how to get it to work?”
“It shames me to admit it, but I have no idea how to activate it as well… If I did, you wouldn’t have been able to injure my son that day…” muttered Master Greendrake with a bitter smile.
It was at that moment when Yusra who had just given the artifact a good look exclaimed, “Wait..! I know how to use it!”
Naturally, this left Gerald surprised.
Ignoring his confusion, Yusra then explained, “You see, my family has several secret books, and one of them stated that the Heavenly Guard Order was fashioned out of a heavenly stone tablet capable of restraining demons and devils! With that said, it truly is our best bet of getting out of this situation in one piece! Thankfully, the book also included the full procedures to use the angelic artifact! I should mention, however, that only advanced cultivators with strong primordial spirits are capable of utilizing its powers!”
After hearing what favonovel.com had to say, Master Greendrake and a few others immediately backed off. After all, they were demons themselves! With that in mind, if they managed to activate the Heavenly Guard Order and if what Yusra had said was true, then there was a good chance that they’d end up getting hurt.
Whatever the case was, Yusra then smiled as favonovel.com added, “I can sense that Mr. Crawford has the most powerful primordial spirit among us, so I’m afraid you’ll have to be the one to activate it…”
“Agreed, though please hurry and tell favonovel.com how to activate it, Miss Quarrington! The nether soldier army will be here any second now! I really don’t want any more of our allies to fall!” urged Hauk who was standing at the entrance in an impatient tone…
