Martial Research Master

“I understand your concern. Let me ask you a question. Are you sure about the number of enemies? Can you confirm that our enemies would be limited to the Bai clan itself? What if there is a nearby enemy base, and they suddenly arrive?”

The prince didn’t have an answer for this. “I know you are anxious because you think they are your responsibility, but be patient. Our turn will soon arrive.”

............................

All of that was just Di Tao’s way to prevent Jiao Shen from interfering in the battle and helping the people out. Long Tao didn’t want to help the Long clan. They were the expendable resource in this fight. As per the Black-buck squad, Long Tao had his own plans.

Since they were not attending to any missions, Long Tao wanted this fight to be a learning practice for them. The members seem to show some extraordinary characteristics.

An impressive performance was shown by the weakest members of the Black-buck quad. They decided to band together and team up on the enemy. The kill count was rising on their side.

Su Menqi managed to train these soldiers well. Her leadership abilities were also getting polished. She managed to fulfill all the objectives in the mission, with zero casualties. The guards and elder mansions were already swiped clean. The elder hall was nearly finished too.

Su Menqi and the captain of royal guards were currently engaged with the first and second elders.

.....

The fight between Su Menqi and the first elder was quite brutal. Both of them had an equivalent strength of peak Qi master practitioners. Multiple wounds could be seen on either of them.

The clash of sword and rapier was continuing. “I will kill you slut. How dare you sneak attack on my clan.” The first elder was going crazy.

“We will have to find out whether you have the power to kill me.” Su Menqi thrust the rapier into the first elder’s abdomen. A swift dodge from him and a sideways attack forced her to back off. She needed an element of surprise in her attack.

She tried to formulate an attack pattern to throw this guy off. Suddenly she remembered a talk with Long Tao.” What happens if I bait the enemy into pushing e to a corner, but just when his focus is elsewhere, I strike his blind spot, landing a deadly attack.”

She knew she couldn’t use bait in this fight. She needed to improvise. A dangerous suggestion arose in her mind. She rushed towards the first elder. Looking at the incoming figure, he thrust his sword towards her chest.

Su Menqi blocked the sword tip with her hand, which resulted in a painful piercing. She rotated her body and inserted her rapier into the first elder’s eye, piercing his brain. The first elder was down. Although she had a sword hanging within her hand, she managed to bear with the pain. Long provided the whole team with a lot of recovery pills. She began the recovery process.

...................

In another location, the head of royal guards managed to deliver the killing blow to the second elder. After a short while, when he finally managed to stabilize his wounds and recover the Qi, he rushed out to help the nearby teams with their operation.

The elder’s hall had collapsed. Most of the elders killed. The teams were now using pure numbers to overpower the Bai clan elders. Multiple weapons could be seen sticking into the bodies of each of the deceased.

Even the Bai clan members were beginning to grow desperate. Some of them even decided to blow themselves up, rather than dying in the enemy’s hands. This resulted in some casualties within the assault group.

The teams began to rendezvous after completing their objectives. The only people allowed to remain alive were the women and children of the Bai family.

Long Tao was merciless, but not inhuman. He decided to let go of these people. They were imprisoned within the dungeons of the Bai clan, with an assurance of being left alive if they cooperated.

The Bai clan was already dead, except for the three elders fighting Long Zhi Ruo’s group.

..............................

Su Menqi was reporting to Di Tao about the casualty suffered. “The major deaths were on the Long clan side, as none of us went to help them. It was as per Long Tao’s orders.” Jiao Shen was shocked to hear this.

He thought Di Tao was staying there to look out for potential arrivals of enemies. It was all according to Long Tao’s orders. He wanted the Long Clan to suffer.

“The grounds have been cleared up. Even the messengers who were going in and out were killed. Many strangers have been apprehended on the outskirts of the Bai manor. We will be leading them to the dungeons for questioning. The three Long elders are fighting with the Bai clan ancestors. The fight seems to be tilted towards the Bai elders due to their coordination.

“Did they request for help?” The prince asked.

“Multiple times, but Long Tao decided to stay his hands.” Di Tao replied. It was time to bring all of this to an end.

“It’s time we enter the battle. All six of them have wasted a lot of Qi. They are most vulnerable now. You will attack the one in the right, I will be taking care of the left one. Finish him in one strike “. The prince had no choice but to go with this plan.

......................

Bai clan leader was being tortured brutally. He had two of his limbs missing, all his broken cracked up, and intense internal bleeding. He was trying to craw3l away from Long Tao.

He put his foot on Bai leader’s head and said “Your lineage is already wiped out. You should go to accompany them”. The head was squished under his foot.
