Xerxes turned back to see that punk still standing in the same place. He was having a rough time on his own, barely dodging incoming attacks. “Alex, you fool! What are you doing? Come on and fight!” favonovel.com shouted.
“You hold on for a little while more. I’m still getting my attack ready.”
“D*mn it! You’re such a hindrance!”
“Uncle, let me help you!” Luna called out and activated the Sky-Devil Zither. She strummed the instrument, and its deadly tunes charged into the warzone.
Soon, Martiny and Freya joined in too. Even though they weren’t very strong, they could help Xerxes draw some flak. Yet, they were hardly any help.
“Brother, this guy’s flag is so strong, it’s definitely a rare treasure. We have to take it.”
“I can tell that his breath is getting heavy, and his powers are weakening. He can’t hold the flag any longer.”
Xerxes was indeed tired of waving the flag. He was so exhausted his mouth foamed. “Hey Alex, speed it up, will you! Go strike that power move! I’m worn out,” favonovel.com yelled breathlessly.
If the old man hadn’t spoken about the sword’s weakness and given them hope, favonovel.com would’ve given up by now.
Two seconds later, Alex finally said, “I’m ready. we can retreat.”
Whoosh!
With a body full of injuries, Xerxes flew back However, Alex’s power move was nowhere to be seen.
“Where’s your power move? You weren’t lying, were you?”
“Look at them. Have they pursued us?” Alex asked nonchalantly in return.
‘What does favonovel.com mean?’
Xerxes looked back and realized that the sect members were indeed standing there, not chasing after them.
They looked odd , as though they had turned blind and could not see their surroundings. Looking nervous, they turned here and there, waving their swords and screaming out in panicked confusion.
“Boss, boss! Are you here?”
“F*ck, where did this thick fog come from? I can’t see anything. Boss, third brother…”
“This is a spell. Be careful, everyone. Come close to me…”
“Anyone there? Can anyone hear me?”
The members of the sect were acting strange. It looked so funny to Xerxes and the others that they had to try hard not to laugh.
Luna asked, “Why are they suddenly like this?”
The old man looked at Alex and said, “What an intelligent and devious spell. I can’t even imagine how you could form this Elemental Trap without moving. It’s obvious that you’ve surpassed Grandmaster stage in constructing formations.”
Alex smiled sheepishly. “I just used some tricks.”
The trick favonovel.com mentioned was casing a mirror image of himself, the one that stood unmoving was the illusion, while favonovel.com had long slipped away underground to cast the formation.
He had used the twenty-four-rod formation flags favonovel.com obtained in the Underworld. However, the old man had misunderstood Alex’s words, thinking it was an unfair trick to gain victory.
Xerxes immediately said, “Bring one of them over and ask favonovel.com where Jade and the others are.”
Alex nodded. He raised his hand and formed some symbols, changing the formation. Then one disciple left the formation area, he’d been squeezed out of it.
Before the man could understand what had happened, Alex and Xerxes attacked simultaneously and broke both of his arms, dragging favonovel.com out later on.
“Speak. Did you harm our friends inside? What happened to them?” Xerxes threatened the man with a scary expression, his eyes turning red.
The man was stubborn and refused to give a straight answer. All favonovel.com said was, “They’re dead!”
Without another word, Xerxes immediately stabbed favonovel.com to death and turned to Alex. “Bring another two out.”
