Condemning the Heavens

Before, the patrols had walked through a specific pattern, and thus they were simple to ambush at the same location, but now there would be no more patrols; they would enter the forest in an attempt at finding the culprits behind the disappearance of the patrols .

Their new ambush place was located closer to the camp, and they waited for the people to come here .

According to Lan, when the chaos ensued, they would not send everyone out at once, but dispatch a few stronger teams with the purpose of locating the men who had gone missing .

These teams would be sent out one after another, and thus Xue Wei would have time to deal with each team as he wanted .

After the first group would have vanished, and the second and third groups would also have gone missing, it was clear that they would change their strategy .

Xue Wei never doubted what Lan had told him, and thus he was planning their next moves from his words .

As they waited, they saw a group appearing with bigger numbers than what the patrols had . The people in this group were all alert, and their hands were tightly gripping their weapons .

They clearly knew that the patrols had not returned, and were sent out to find traces of the missing soldiers, and to preferably capture the culprits .

Unfortunately, the military leader of the base had severely underestimated Xue Wei and his friends . The team he had been sent out was stronger than the patrol, but not by much . It just had more people in the team, and while it was true that having more people meant that it would be more likely that someone would manage to escape if they encountered any opposition .

All of them were quite ruthless, and they were looking at the people in front of them as if they were looking at walking corpses .

Xue Wei snickered when he saw their expressions, and he shook his head . Waving his hand, all of them, himself included, attacked the new group of soldiers from the Xiyang Continent .

The soldiers were shocked when they saw lights from various skills and abilities raining down upon them .

Raising their weapons, they met the attacks head on, their eyes glistening with slight panic as they felt how powerful the attacks were, and they stumbled a few steps back .

Looking at the six people who had appeared in front of them, their faces, which had been full of panic, relaxed slightly, and they snickered . So there were merely six people . How could they have been scared of such a small group when they had more than double their numbers?

If the group had sent someone back to announce their findings to the base, then maybe the Xue Wei group would be unable to stop them, and their situation would become much more dangerous .

However, they looked down on Xue Wei and his friends, and thought that killing them was as simple as killing a chicken . They had forgotten that in their initial clash, it was them who had been forced backward .

Xue Wei heaved a sigh of relief when he saw how they had no intention of sending someone back, and wanted to fight together to kill them .

Luoluo was also grinning . She knew that she was being looked down upon, and she was getting angry, her hands were playing with a few icicles, and her eyes were focused as she observed the people .

Xue Wei was holding a sword in his hand, the sword was gleaming in the light that shone down from the gaps in the tree crowns .

Lan snorted with amusement . These people from the Xiyang Empire were quite dumb . Xue Wei and his friends had already removed four patrols without any of them sustaining any injuries, and now they were attacking their group head on, but these Xiyang soldiers still felt as if they held the upper hand .

Lin Xiao also held a slight smile on his face, but Hei Gou had no more patience and threw himself at the people . He held the claws on his hands and slashed at the people standing in front of them .

These people were shocked by the speed with which Hei Gou was moving, and they retreated rapidly, but two had been cut so heavily that open gashes appeared on their chests . Blood was flooding out, not only from the wounds but also from the mouths .

One of them lost his life after trying to breathe for a few moments while the other tried hanging on, but he did not last long either as Bai Tianyi waved his hand, and a spiritual energy sword impaled his chest, causing him to collapse and die .

The Xiyang soldiers were shocked by the speed they had used to kill them, and now they started to fear that something was wrong . Was this a group of youngsters as they seemed to be? How could they possibly be so powerful?

Xue Wei waved his hand and joined the battle like the others, a thick purple lightning bolt made from Qi erupted from his hand and sprung at one of his targets, making the young man who got hit, turn into a crisp corpse . The stench of burnt human flesh permeated through the air, and the others got nauseous when they saw how fast he had turned into a grilled chicken .
