As soon as they ran out of their hiding spots, the Thunder Sect and True Spirit Sect group immediately noticed them.
They had been sitting in a circle around the fire, so they were able to see all around them.
Of course, they were shocked to see that they were being ambushed.
They had thought that they had found a perfect hiding spot, but now it seemed like they had made a mistake by not posting any guards.
It didn't take them long to see that they were completely outnumbered and based on the aura of the enemies, it seemed like they were also outnumbered in terms of experts.
The Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect groups only had a Child Soul Realm Expert each, so facing four Child Soul Realm Experts like this was naturally hard for them. Even if Lei Feng was strong enough to match a Child Soul Realm Expert even though he was only in the Peak Embryo Soul Realm.
As experts and geniuses of the twelve great sects, they naturally had strong wills and quickly recovered from their shock. All members of their group immediately formed a circle formation to meet the enemies rushing at them.
As the enemies approached, Lei Feng roared out, "Who are you? My Thunder Sect doesn't have any grievances with any of you!"
Shi Yi also said, "The True Spirit Sect doesn't want to fight you either! We can end this peacefully since I'm sure both our sides are injured!"
However, their words fell onto deaf ears as the experts of the four great families continued charging forward at them.
As they charged forward, they raised their auras and released their life energy, preparing for the clash between the two sides.
One of the four Child Soul Realm Experts of the four great families said, "Just accept your deaths."
Both Lei Feng and Shi Yi knitted their brows when they heard this, but neither of them panicked since they knew that this was the worst thing they could do.
Arranging the experts from their group to match the lines of the enemies, they were able to stop their charge and fight evenly for a bit, but that didn't last for long.
The main factors were the fact that they were injured and they were outnumbered, so no matter how hard they tried to resist, they were going to be worn down eventually.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe final straw was when one of the experts of the Thunder Sect fell under the blade of an enemy.
It didn't take long before three more experts from their group fell and they were pushed back into an even tighter circle.
There had been less than ten of them facing more than twenty enemies, so it was only a matter of time before this happened.
But they weren't destined to die tonight since there was someone else who came into the cave before the experts of the four great families could finish off the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect.
They had moved slowly so no one had heard them over the sounds of fighting, but even then, they didn't release a single trace of aura that was felt as this person came over. It was almost as if this wasn't a living person.
But once this person came up behind the experts of the four great families, he suddenly gave a snort and said, "Useless."
Everyone was shocked the moment that they heard this voice.
This voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone here.
However, they hadn't sensed this person approaching at all. So how did they suddenly appear behind them?
When the two sides saw who it was, they showed very different reactions.
The experts of the four great families revealed shocked looks since they weren't able to sense the aura from this person at all. This meant that either this person didn't have any cultivation or…
As for the Thunder Sect and the True Spirit Sect group, the moment that they saw this person, they all revealed looks of joy.
Both Lei Feng and Shi Yi revealed excited looks as they muttered, "It's the lord!"
The person was no one other than the figure with the different coloured cloak that had been with the Assassins Association.
The cloaked figure ignored them and looked at the experts of the four great families.
The experts from the four great families looked at this person with a wary look, but it didn't take them long to recognize who this person was. After all, there had only been a single group that had remained in cloaks the entire time.
As well, among the Dian Family experts, there were the ones that had encountered this person before.
They knew that this person definitely wasn't easy to deal with, so they warned the Child Soul Realm Expert from the Dian Family.
This Child Soul Realm Expert looked at that person to confirm these facts before turning to the cloaked person to say, "This friend from the Assassins Association, this is a matter between our groups. We aren't looking for any trouble with you and consider it a favour if you leave now."
The four great families didn't know about the cooperation between the Thunder Sect, the True Spirit Sect, and the Assassins Association, so they thought that this person had passed by here by accident.
Since they could tell that this person wasn't easy to deal with, they decided to see if they could reason with him first.
After all, why waste the energy fighting when things could be settled with words?
It was just too bad that the cloaked figure clearly wasn't in the mood to talk.
The cloaked figure raised a hand and there were spikes of ice that suddenly formed in the air.
When the person from the Dian Family saw this, they immediately remembered what had happened earlier in the day and shouted, "Dodge it!"
Everyone was surprised by this shout from this person, but they all jumped back in several different directions.
The ice spikes flew out where they had just been and while they were floating in the air, the ice spikes suddenly changed directions.
These ice spikes started following the people flying through the air, as if it was being guided by something. It flew right at four experts from the four great families, aiming right at their chests.
The experts were stuck in the air and it wasn't easy for them to maneuver, so they had no choice but to raise their weapons to block these ice spikes.
Since they couldn't sense the aura of this person, they knew that this person must be stronger than them, so they didn't hold back at all as they released all their life energy to defend with.
All four of these experts were Peak Embryo Soul Realm Experts, so they weren't weak by any sense. Even if they were to be hit by the attacks of a Child Soul Realm Expert, they would still be able to defend against it.
However, the ice spikes completely ignored their life energy barriers and pierced right through their weapons before stabbing their bodies.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen these four experts landed on the ground, they had lost all signs of life.
Everyone looked at the four corpses on the ground with shocked looks.
Four Peak Embryo Soul Realm Experts were taken out just like this…It was clear that this person wasn't normal.
The Dian Family Child Soul Realm Expert turned back and shouted, "You, we clearly have no ill will towards you! How dare you be this ruthless! Do you really think that your Assassins Association can go against all four of our families?"
When the cloaked figure heard this, he gave a snort and said, "You pieces of trash dare to talk to me like this?"
Without another word, he raised his hand again and even more ice spikes appeared in the air.
None of these ice spikes were weaker than the spikes from before, but there were much more ice spikes compared to before. It was clear that this person had been holding back previously.
Seeing the desperate situation that they were facing, the experts of the four great families looked at each other before the Child Soul Realm Experts shouted, "Gather together!"
It was clear that they weren't able to face these ice spikes alone, the four corpses on the ground had proven that.
Unless they came together and gathered their life energy together to resist it, it was very likely that they would all die here. Of course, none of them were willing to just keel over that easily, so all of the experts of the four great families gathered together immediately to release all their life energy and form a barrier.
But even with all of them forming the barrier, it was only barely able to stop all the ice spikes that flew out.
They were getting slowly pushed back step by step as cracks began forming on the barrier in front of them. It was clear that it was only a matter of time before the barrier cracked and the ice spikes pierced them all.
However, the cloaked figure couldn't accept this.
The cloaked figure saw that his attack had been stopped by these people and after giving a dissatisfied snort, he raised his hand. His hand stayed in the air a bit before he pushed forward.
As he pushed forward, the power behind the ice spikes suddenly became stronger and even more cracks formed on the barrier.
But that barrier only lasted an instant after he pushed as it shattered to pieces.
As the experts of the four great families prepared to get stabbed by the icicles, there was another flash of light.
Ten different coloured attacks suddenly flew out, clashing against the ice spikes before actually shattering them to pieces.
