683 The Night of the Bloody Invasion [2]
Zhao Tian was startled to see Yao Jing blocking Selena''s attack.
"Master...?"
He had expected Yan Zijin to be the one to step in... but never her. @@@@
Selena, still hovering mid-air from the impact, narrowed her eyes at the woman before her.
"And who the hell are you?"
Yao Jing raised an eyebrow and asked "What job do you have with my disciple?"
The ground beneath Yao Jing cracked as she steadied her stance and the flames coiled around her body.
Selena has no time for chit-chat and glanced at Zhao Tian "Velnorah.. since you took my Vryienne..."
*swoosh* As she dashed toward Zhao Tian, Yao Jing darted forward, intercepting her.
Her right fist ignited as a surge of fire erupted around her arm and she drove it straight toward Selena''s face.
The heat warped the air, creating a shimmering distortion that made it hard to gauge the true trajectory of her strike.
Selena, however, was fast.
She tilted her head at the last second, dodging the fiery punch as it shot past her cheek.
With precision, she twisted her body, bringing her knee up toward Yao Jing''s stomach.
BANG!
Yao Jing barely managed to cross her arms in time, absorbing the hit, but the sheer impact sent her skidding backward.
Before she could reset her stance—
Selena closed the distance again, slashing out with her clawed fingers aimed directly at Yao Jing''s throat.
Yao Jing bent backward, dodging the swipe by mere inches, feeling the sharp tips of the claws graze across her neck.
The moment her back arched fully, she twisted her body mid-motion, planting her left hand onto the ground and spinning into a counter-kick aimed at Selena''s temple.
WHAM!
The kick landed solidly, snapping Selena''s head to the side.
Selena''s blood mist surged, forming solid red tendrils that shot toward Yao Jing like spears.
Yao Jing flipped backward, dodging the first three... but the fourth coiled around her ankle, yanking her mid-air.
SHRRK!
The tendril whipped her sideways, slamming her into the ground, and sending dust and debris into the sky.
Before Yao Jing could recover, Selena was already on her, a blood-formed blade materializing in her hand.
She lunged, driving the blade toward Yao Jing''s stomach.
''I need to join the fight...''
As Selena was about to make her next move, a pillar of fire erupted from the ground beneath her.
Selena''s eyes flickered downward, sensing the attack just in time, and she propelled herself backward with a burst of blood mist.
But Yao Jing thrust her palm forward, and the pillar of fire surged into a massive wave, rushing toward Selena like a tidal force of pure destruction.
Selena clicked her tongue "Persistent little insect."
She raised her hand and took on that wave with her bare hand, until...
A shadow flickered behind her.
Velnorah.
Seeing this, Selena''s eyes glinted with killing intent as she slashed the sword back at Velnorah.
Velnorah was startled, as she didn''t expect Selena to counterattack immediately.
''Shit...'' As the blade came close to her neck, Velnorah''s eyes narrowed in horror.
She had already committed to her strike. There was no way to dodge.
''I can''t dodge-''
*flick* In the next instant, Zhao Tian teleported to her and grabbed her wrist tightly.
And he teleported out of there.
"Fuck..."
The scenery blurred, shifting in an instant.
The next thing Velnorah knew... she was standing beside Yao Jing again and her pulse raced in dread.
"Haa..."
*sleesh* Selena''s blade sliced through nothing but air.
Her gaze flickered toward them, "Always in the way, aren''t you?"
Zhao Tian''s eyes narrowed ''With my space domain, I can barely keep up...''
''And she hasn''t even used her Plurret form and Blood domain...''
His eyes flickered to the Wing Masters, who were busy fighting the horde of vampires.
And then he glanced at Yan Zijin, who was thrashing the Vampire General she was fighting.
''We need to stall time till Master arrives...''
