Chapter 1055: Controlled Battle II
"Jwala, go a thousand meters left and burn every other tree that you come across.
Saber Monarch and Gran, both of you move six hundred meters south from your current spot. You will meet Jwala there."
Jwala started running while burning the trees.
"Vidyut, jump on to the tenth tree to your left. Start shooting arrows for targets that are currently at thousand two hundred meters and are moving to your right. Keep on changing the angle for every three shots by ten degrees.
Paras and Sia, the rest of the second group are going after Jwala's trial, now go straight for a hundred meters and follow those people. Vidyut will be assisting you. Finish the extras off and keep the two musicians who are currently carrying a flute and a zither in their hands."
Paras and Sia moved and soon they spotted the group running after Jwala's trial.
Vidyut's arrows started going off.
The group noticed Paras' presence while Sia went into a hiding as she got ready to sneak an attack.
As one of them was about to confront Paras and block his axe attack, an arrow shot through the woods and hit him in the arm that was holding his sword which made his guard completely down and the axe landed squarely on his chest.
The second arrow was hit on another person's abdomen from the side and Sia took this chance to stab the dagger into that guy's throat from the other side.
The third arrow missed.
When the rest of the group saw the situation and understood that an archer from far away locked on them, they immediately moved.
Paras and Sia went after them while Vidyut is still shooting the arrows. Soon the group was completely done for.
The two musicians lost consciousness and Paras brought them towards the space gate to give them away.
Saber Monarch and Gran met with Jwala and Sam instructed them to move in a different direction. After Paras was done with dumping the unconscious musicians, Sam guided him and Gran to meet with Agar who is a bit closer to them, to move in another direction.
While they are travelling according to Sam's instructions, Sam decided to focus on another target group with Five Elemental King, Kiran and Argan.
They also focused on deal with the Transcendent stage cultivator led group. And since they are a bit weaker in terms of cultivation, they have to resort to trickery a bit.
Sam activated a formation near the trio. These are some formation discs that are placed by the team when they are spreading out and these are there specially for Kiran to use.
Sam activated it through the crystal table and a hologram was created. It is one of the holograms of the dead Gandharvas.
Kiran looked at the Hologram keenly and slowly started disguising like that. He changed into similar robes and soon he was done. The hologram changed a bit showing the injuries, Kiran used some beast blood and such to disguise himself and then ran towards the group.
He didn't even speak anything, when he was in the vicinity of the group, he just collapsed and fainted. He regulated his heart beat as if he is almost dying.
A Gandharva shoved a pill into his mouth and made a small tent to let him rest.
"You guys stay here. I will go there and scout."
The transcendent stage leader wanted to go by himself, but the subordinates stopped him instantly.
"No, brother. Let us send the report to family head and ask for instructions. For our brother to reach such a sorry state, the other party might have set a large ambush. In fact, even letting him go might be a ploy. We will do as family head says after we report this."
They let the silver pigeon out, but as soon as the pigeon left the camp, it was shot down and Sam sent another pigeon in its place to the family head, while he prepared a different pigeon to the camp after some time.
"Family head sent the instructions. We will let the formation masters and musicians guard the injured while the rest of the group moves.
Activate a strong barrier formation and immediately give out a signal as soon as you manage to spot anyone coming here.
I will lead them and see if we can get rid of them, if not we will at least have some information."
And the transcendent stage cultivator led most of the group.
Meanwhile, the remaining people started working on the fortification of the camp.
Sam sent the instructions to Kiran directly.
He took out a breathing device and wore it before throwing out a smoke bomb.
The smoke bomb made the people faint instantly and Kiran used his sword to maim their limbs before leaving them there immobile.
He broke through the formation according to Sam's instructions and moved towards the group.
Meanwhile, five elemental King and Argan got ready to deal with them.
"Vidyut one thousand two hundred meters, three targets. I want a rain of arrows on them. Even if the attack power is less. I want them to move left continuously."
Vidyut agreed and used an archery technique. One arrow will create a bunch of arrows by condensing the spiritual energy. It is very useful in large scale battles.
As the group moved constantly, Sam gave orders to the Five elemental King and Argan.
"Argan, move three feet to your right and use Solar Incineration. Five Elemental King, jump to the tree on your left and use Flaming meteor. It should land hundred meters straight ahead."They proceeded with their attacks.
A large cluster of golden flames hit the group that is avoiding the arrows coming from far away and when they saw the situation, the transcendent stage cultivator took the brunt of the attack and let the rest move to a different direction, but they were hit by the flaming meteor that crushed the group completely.
Only two people managed to make it out.
"Kiran, perform a lunge and leap for at least hundred meters in a stabbing position. It should be strong enough to kill your peer."
"Leap for hundred meters? Are you kidding me?"
"Stop your whining and do it Kiran. I am busy."
Kiran took three steps backwards and did as he was told even though he doesn't know why he is doing.
"Five elemental King, throw another meteor at the remaining two. It doesn't have to be as dangerous, but as flashy."
Five elemental King did and the transcendent stage cultivator who just recovered a bit from the shock saw the meteor landing downwards, he immediately lunged forward and pushed the two guys away.
He took the meteor hit on the head directly.
The two subordinates flew through the air, but before they could land, Kiran who performed the leap with his sword stabbed through one guy's abdomen and the leg of the other guy.
Kiran was shocked. He didn't expect that a leap he did would be used like this.
Sam was so sure that these two will come in this way and managed nail it with perfect timing.
He came out of the shock and managed to slash the throat of the remaining guy.
The transcendent cultivator looked at Kiran in shock. Kiran is still in the disguise of the Gandharva. So, in the eyes of the group leader, it is one their own that killed them.
He was about to rage, but Vidyut's arrow hit him in the chest and the earthern prison of the Five elemental King held him in the place.
Argan and Kiran joined in as they attacked him together. He already took the fire elemental attack,. The meteor and such, along with Vidyut's attacks he didn't last long.
But this caused a lot of commotion and Sam saw that the rest of the groups are sending messages to the Family head rapidly.
Sam let the messages reach the family head, but he didn't let his replies return to every group.
He made Vidyut shoot down as many as he can and sent different messages to them, making the plans mess up.
The groups started spreading all over. Sam gave instructions to the Saber Monarch, Five elemental King and others to regroup while he shifted his focus to the Night Ghost.
Since the other party spread the groups it would be easy for him since he can regroup his team and make them work together to deal with them one by one.
Now it is about time, he reduced the number of the Middle stage Transcendent cultivators.
"Night Ghost. Its about time we started.
Move five hundred meters to the left. Vidyut turns around and shoot eight hundred meters away. Shoot continuously and change positions and shoot from different directions."
As Night Ghost moved he could see the flashy arrows hitting the opponent and his ghosts that are scouting ahead of him saw that a guy is running and trying to find the location of the archer.
"Did you see that guy, he is your first target. Finish him off and take his soul."
