COMING OF THE MARTIAL GOD - Season 2 Episode 95

And yet, Lanny’s suspicious movements caught Austin’s attention at once. Austin snorted in contempt noting Lanny’s intention of running away.

“Violet, come out and free me from fighting these men. Lanny is scheming to run away. I can’t stop him while these men are keeping me busy. You take care of these men. I will go deal with Lanny,” Austin said.

Austin transmitted his message to Violet through his mind.

Instantly, a flash of green light shot through the gate and entered the front yard of the Li Clan’s mansion. Gradually, the light fell slowly on the ground and turned into a beautiful, sweet girl in a soft silken green dress. The men of the Li Clan became distracted by the sudden appearance of the girl. But the girl, undeterred and started to take down a few of them. Unlike Mindy, whose fighting pattern was swift and silent, the girl used the tactic of moving seductively and diverting their attention from the fight in order to kill them without any resistance.

This girl too, was an Earth Realm fighter.
Lanny was completely taken aback by this new threat.

As if Austin and Mindy weren’t already too much for him to defeat, now they had added new blood to their strengths? And again, the new girl sapped her strength from the Earth Realm. Winning was certainly the last thing on Lanny’s mind.
Lanny realized that it would do him no good if he stayed. Now he hurried to get out of there, trying to preserve the effective strength in his clan. Fight of today was doomed to fail and it would be a miracle if all of them got out of this disaster unscathed. Although other than the men who were engaged in combat, Lanny commanded a high-powered backup team. He had trained them for years and planned to use them in case of a situation like this. He would never reveal this team if not for something really critical. He thought he ought to keep himself from harm’s way before this team finally revealed itself.

Plus, he had sent a message to the Black Mountain Fortress before Austin and Mindy’s arrival. So the Black Mountain Fortress’s men should arrive any minute. The head of the Black Mountain Fortress was known to have a cultivation base of the Earth Realm, and on top of that, all his men were cruel, merciless and afraid of nothing.

Stringing together these advantages, Lanny knew that the fortress men were far superior to his clan’s.

‘If I gather all these strengths, I might be able to defeat these three Earth Realm fighters, ‘ he pondered for a second.

Not the kind of person not to weigh his pros and cons, Lanny thought that it was best to escape from a battle whose outcome was uncertain than risk all that he had got.

At the time when the girl in green appeared, Mindy was still occupied by the fight with a couple of the Li Clan men. Unintentionally, Mindy glanced back and saw a flash of green light.

‘Who is that girl?’ she wondered. ‘Her face is vaguely familiar, ‘ thought Mindy but then she could not tell where exactly she had seen her. ‘How did she just appear out of nowhere and is helping us deal with these men? Is she a friend of Austin’s? By the scene of it, I guess she is,” she speculated.

And then, a memory came alive in Mindy’s mind.

Concentrating hard to remember all its details, Mindy almost cried out in wonder.

‘Isn’t she the fox that captured Austin at first then was subdued by Austin later? How did she get here anyway?’ Mindy felt oddly disturbed by her questions.

“Hey, sister, watch out! Eyes on your fight!” shouted Violet, out of the blue. She turned around and smiled sweetly at Mindy.

Again, Mindy felt awful for becoming lax on the battlefield. Looking in front, Mindy just caught the sight of a long sword coming straight for her to stab her in the stomach. Violet’s presence had taken her eyes and mind off the battlefield and now the tip of the sword was about to come closer and pierce her to death.

In a trice, she raised her sword and blocked the long sword to avoid the attack. Jolted by the close shave, Mindy vowed not to think of anything else.

By this time, the floor of the fighting field, the front yard of the Li Clan, was covered by many dead men.

In this short period, the number of the dead men had gone up to fifty.

‘Damn it! From where did these fighters of the Earth Realm come? How did the Zhang Clan manage to hire such powerful allies to help them with their revenge?

How thoughtless of us to not have wiped out every living soul of the Zhang Clan seven years ago! We wouldn’t have had to see so much of trouble now.’

Lanny kept on cursing as he felt unable to come to terms with his own weakness as a warrior.

“As the master of the Li Clan, how can you sneak out of the battlefield abandoning your men to death? They should be so disappointed at you.”

A mocking voice came from behind. Scared, Lanny decided to turn around and see who it was. It was the young man, who swished past him and stood in front.

Austin stood tall to keep the despicable Clan Leader from running away. “Well then, if you so insist, I can only strike you to death as you have come tailing me for it. Don’t ever think that I am frightened of you, boy.”

Having no choice, Lanny retorted with bravado. Given the situation, Lanny now had to fight. Staring viciously at Austin, he slowly pulled out his exquisite steel long spear. Let out, the spear breathed out chilly, piercing winds that started to wrap Lanny in circles as he held the spear to the sky.

Lanny was a wee bit relieved too. It was just one of them, just Austin to challenge him. Defeating the three together looked absolutely impossible, but maybe defeating one wasn’t out of the question.

As he scanned Austin’s strength, he saw that he was in the Earth Realm, but had entered its preliminary stage not too long ago. Lanny in comparison had been in the Earth Realm for nine years. Moreover, he had a feeling that his strength had been on par with that of the medium stage.

Fortified by these ideas, Lanny hurried into his battle with Austin with the singular aim of ending his enemy’s life.
