Chapter 198 Reinforcements Arrive Just in Time

Chapter 198: Reinforcements Arrive in the Nick of Time

Ten, twenty, thirty... Fu Yixue felt she had truly failed—the infiltration had gone this far.

Swing after sword swing, hand seal after hand seal, formation after formation—every motion was pure muscle memory by now.

Her injuries piled up, yet Fu Yixue fought on fearlessly, as if she couldn’t feel pain.

She didn’t know how long the battle had lasted, aware only of the throbbing in her palms and the growing exhaustion and stinging in her spiritual core.

She’d slain the very disciples she raised. Even if she had hardened her heart, even if she believed herself unyielding—

Still,

Fu Yixue felt a loneliness and sorrow beyond words.

Word by word, every word soaked in blood, she declared:

"Today, I, Fu Yixue, purge our sect.

Those who betray the sect—slay them.

Those who stab their brethren in the back—put them to the sword.

Those who collude with the enemy and surrender to demons—kill them!"

She spat another mouthful of blood. The New Humans were rotten to the core long ago; every crimson stain on the field was hers alone.

All she saw was a sea of red—she’d bled far too much.

Just like in the Clash of Titans fifteen years ago.

She told herself—she had to kill them all.

Kill them—

Every last one!

And herself too—

A teacher who failed to discipline, failed to guide—unworthy—

Kill her!

"Miss Yi Na, our side’s wiped out."

Yi Na sneered. "Can’t you see? Fu Yixue’s on her last legs too."

"Miss Yi Na, are you... going in yourself?

But you’re a Baptized One—you’ve barely seen combat."

Yi Na tilted her head. "Even better. I’ve been dying to taste Fu Yixue—third-ranked in the whole alliance.

I wonder how her spiritual core will taste?"

Yi Na advanced slowly toward Fu Yixue, her body pierced with horrific, gaping wounds.

Yet none were as horrifying as the scar on her neck.

Yi Na’s eyes locked onto the wound. "What happened to your neck?"

How did you survive a wound like that? How was it even possible?

The metallic tang of blood flooded Fu Yixue’s mouth. Her spiritual energy, physical strength, and mystical power were all exhausted.

She gave a hollow chuckle.

"If you’d *actually* met a god, you would know how laughable the so-called 'new humans' you speak of truly are."

Yi Na's eyes instantly narrowed. "You're asking for death!"

Her fingers *morphed* into black blades as she clenched her hand and thrust straight for Fu Yixue's skull.

The *sickening crunch* of blades splitting scalp made even the air shudder.

Just as they were about to reach the bone, Yi Na was sent flying by a tremendous force—a powerful kick.

"Aunt Fu—!"

"GRANDMASTER!!!"

Yi Na turned her head in shock, only to be met with a massive staff that *clocked* her so hard her vision exploded, leaving her dazed for a long moment.

Before Yi Na could even stand, Wu Chong was already raising his beloved super-ion gun.

"BRRRT!"

Wu Chong, "You *dare* lay hands on Yan Qi’s grandmaster?! I'll kill you!!!"

"BRRRT!"

Wu Chong, "Pressurized attack! Eat *this*, Nutcracker!!"

Under the pressure of the dual physical assault, Yi Na's body twisted and distorted, *dissolving* from a solid form into a mass of black mist.

Seeing Yi Na now, she looked eerily similar to the figure they had glimpsed in Wu Yue's consciousness before.

Richard *bellowed* a warning, "Everyone, be careful! She's about to use some unknown energy!"

His voice was so loud it was like he had a bullhorn glued to his face.

Wu Chong immediately hoisted a rocket launcher. "What? Unknown energy? With a rocket launcher in my left hand and an M2 Browning in my right, even if she's an energy entity, I’ll *vaporize* her before she twitches!"

Fu Yixue had already eliminated the new humans within the sect, while Blaze's forces swiftly *mopped up the perimeter*.

The moment Wu Yue and the others arrived as reinforcements, the situation instantly reversed, leaving Yi Na *cornered like a rat*.

Yi Na never expected that the *no-win* trap Fu Yixue had set would be broken so easily by Blaze's people.

Yi Na *snarled through clenched teeth*. "You openly attack my Huo family in defiance of the Alliance Accords—aren't you afraid of facing the Alliance's sanctions?"

Richard smiled. "Spare us the speech. The Alliance Accords apply to humans.

*Freaks* like you *don’t* get a seat at the table."

Jie Chen sneered. "And don’t worry, after we kill you, we’ll wipe out the Huo family next—so the Huo family reunion’ll be in *hell*."

Wu Chong declared proudly, "Just another day for the *legendary* Blaze squad! This is just the Alliance’s First Elite Team, Blaze, doing our duty to *uphold the peace* and protect civilian safety. It’s *what we do*!"

Wu Chong couldn't believe it, "After spending so much time with Yue Yue, I’ve really got the gift of gab now!"

Richard, Jie Chen, and Wu Chong denied Yi Na any chance to react, their attacks as relentless as their words.

They even spammed ultimates nonstop, ensuring Yi Na’s HP dropped steadily—anything less would mean they would’ve been slacking.

While the three were tied up fighting Yi Na, Wu Yue quickly helped Fu Yixue into the flying shuttle’s treatment pod, with Fu Yanqi guarding them closely every step of the way.

Wu Yue frantically crammed healing gems into Fu Yixue’s mouth, switching to an SS-grade night pearl when they did squat.

Though the SS-grade night pearl worked on ordinary wounds, it couldn’t heal the clean-through wound inflicted by the New Humans.

Worse, the spot where Yi Na had touched Fu Yixue’s scalp was rotting before her eyes.

Peeling skin, glimpses of exposed skull—equal parts gruesome and gut-wrenching.

Wu Yue clamped her mouth shut, silent, her hands moving with terrifying speed.

Fu Yixue suddenly smiled, "I’m fine."

Fu Yanqi gritted his teeth, "Stop talking."

He kept casting healing spells on her, his hand seals so fast they sparked.

Fu Yixue looked up at the sky, resigned, "I can say… I have no regrets."

For the first time, Fu Yanqi yelled at her, eyes red, voice cracking,

"I told you to stop talking!!"

Fu Yixue glared angrily, "Can you not kill my tragic vibe?

I’m not dead yet, and you’re already trying to pull rank?

Seems like you want to die before me!"

Wu Yue suddenly remembered—

Right! The Saint Angel’s summoning skill!

She had enough MP now—she could use it!

Immediately summoning the Saint Angel, she activated its healing ability on Fu Yixue.

A little angel flew out, circling Fu Yixue endlessly, showering golden sparks from its wings.

She also summoned the Golden Crow, unleashing its purification ability on repeat.

Worth a shot—humans are mammals!

Trapped by the three, Yi Na couldn’t break free, but she kept a close watch on Fu Yixue’s condition.

Seeing her corrupting power seep into Fu Yixue’s skull, she smirked to herself, gloating.

Useless.

No one could resist the taint of the New Humans—it was a gift from the omniscient and omnipotent Gods.

No one could ever heal wounds inflicted by the New Humans. The final outcome—

There’s only death left!

Once Fu Yixue is fully compromised, she will obtain Fu Yixue's spiritual core,

and then,

everyone present,

whether it's the Blaze, the number-one alliance squad, or any heavy hitters,

will become her dogs.

Bwahahaha!

Fu Yanqi exclaimed in surprise, "The wound’s really healing?!"

Fu Yanqi shouted excitedly, "Wu Yue, it’s working!!"

Fu Yanqi roared passionately, "Wu Yue!!! Your little angel actually healed the Ancestor Master?!"

Wu Yue, "...Yes, but could you keep it down? My ears are ringing..."

Dude, you’re yelling so loud it’s breaking character!

Yi Na turned her head in shock, so shocked she didn’t even dodge Jie Chen’s kick.

Gaping, she watched Fu Yixue, actually seeing her wounds slowly healing.

"No way!!"

Yi Na screamed, her worldview crumbling,

"That can’t be!!"
