I alone am the Honoured One!

684  The Night of the Bloody Invasion [3]

Zhao Tian's grip on his sword tightened, his space domain fluctuating around him.

Selena exhaled slowly, rolling her shoulders, and in the next instant, she vanished.

A fraction of a second later...

Zhao Tian barely raised his sword in time as Selena reappeared in front of him, her crimson blade descending.

CLANG!

The impact sent a shockwave ripping through the air, splitting the ground beneath them.

But before Selena could press forward...

A searing flame erupted beside her, forcing her to leap away.

Yao Jing's palm lashed out as a wave of fire exploded outward in all directions.

Selena clicked her tongue, narrowly avoiding the inferno, but before she could counterattack...

Velnorah struck from above.

Her scythe carved through the air, leaving a blood-red arc trailing behind it.

Selena's eyes narrowed sharply and she twisted her body mid-air, flipping backward as Velnorah's scythe grazed her shoulder.

Selena thrust her hands forward, and the spikes of blood shot outward in all directions, seeking her enemies.

Zhao Tian teleported to the side, barely avoiding one of the lances as it pierced straight through the air where he had just stood.

Velnorah dodged backward, spinning her scythe to deflect the blood lances, but she was still forced on the defensive.

Yao Jing gritted her teeth and clapped her hands together as the fire around her body condensed into a rotating sphere of flame.

The fireball expanded mid-air, devouring Selena's incoming blood attacks.

Selena frowned slightly but remained unfazed.

Velnorah spun her scythe in a wide arc, the crimson blade elongating with blood energy as she launched forward.

Before she could retaliate, a fist streaking with flames tore toward her from the left.

Selena twisted her body, avoiding the fist by mere inches...

Only for Zhao Tian to appear behind her.

His blade was already descending as the space energy and lightning crackled along the edges of the blade. In an instant, she ducked low, the spatial slash grazing past her head, severing several strands of her hair instead of her flesh.

She snapped her foot up in a brutal kick, aiming for Zhao Tian's ribs...

BANG!

He blocked with his forearm, but the sheer force sent him skidding backward.

Velnorah took advantage of the opening, stepping in from the right.

She swung her scythe low, aiming for Selena's legs.

Selena backflipped over the attack, landing with perfect grace-

Only for Yao Jing to intercept her mid-air.

FWOOOSH!

A massive pillar of fire erupted from the ground, engulfing Selena in pure flames.

But before it could consume her entirely...

BOOM!

A shockwave of blood exploded outward, extinguishing the flames instantly.

Selena emerged from the smoke and her gaze flickered to Velnorah

She moved instantly, appearing in front of Velnorah, elbowing her in the stomach.

"Guh—!"

Velnorah choked on air, her body sent flying backward, smashing through a nearby sect building.

"Velnorah!" Zhao Tian's voice rang out, but Selena was already on him.

She whipped her blade forward, aiming for his neck.

Zhao Tian parried with his sword, but the force nearly buckled his stance.

Before he could counter, Selena's foot slammed into his knee.

CRACK!

"Urgh..." Zhao Tian gritted his teeth in pain and staggered two steps back.

Selena grinned sadistically as she twisted her blade for the kill—

But a scorching fist crashed into her face.

BOOM!

*SWOOSH* Selena was sent flying, tumbling across the battlefield and breaking into some sect buildings.

Yao Jing landed beside Zhao Tian, panting heavily.

"You okay?"

Zhao Tian exhaled sharply, shaking off the pain. "Yeah."

Velnorah pushed herself up from the rubble, gripping her scythe 'She is powerful even for three of us to handle...'

As Selena pushed herself from the rubble, her eyes flickered to the sky. Huh?

A streak of golden energy streaked through the air breaking the sound barrier.

It collided directly with Selena's cheek with such force that her entire body whipped backward, flying hundreds of meters across the battlefield before she crashed into the ground.

*THOOOM* The impact sent shockwaves rippling through the entire battlefield, forcing vampires and sect disciples alike to pause in shock.

Zhao Tian, Yao Jing, and Velnorah turned toward the source of the attack.

It was Yan Zijin.

After killing that annoying Vampire General, she came here.

"I will take care of her..."

As she spoke, she dashed toward Selena, who had crashed there.

Yao Jing let out a deep breath and turned to Zhao Tian "Tian..."

She couldn't contain the relief that surged through her, and before Zhao Tian could react, she threw her arms around his neck, burying her face into his chest.

Zhao Tian hugged her back as he gently patted her head "It's alright..."

As they pulled back from the hug, Yao Jing's eyes softened, and she pinched his cheek "What are you doing here on the battlefield? I was worried."

Zhao Tian just smiled dryly and at this time, Velnorah approached them "Tian..."

He hugged Velnorah gently and muttered "Master will take care of her.. Let us kill the others."

Velnorah leaned into him, her body relaxing in his arms as she nodded. "Mhm."

Huh? Yao Jing's eyes squinted in confusion looking at their exchange.

Without a second thought, she reached out and grabbed Zhao Tian's collar, pulling him toward her with a sudden force "Tian... What is her relationship with you?"

"You seem too close..."

Zhao Tian shook his head helplessly "Jing'er, now is not the time... there-"

"No."

Yao Jing interrupted, shaking her head furiously as she pressed her face closer to his. "Tell me..."

Sensing the tension, Velnorah hugged his arm and spoke "I am his wife."

Wha-

Yao Jing's eyes widened in disbelief, her jaw hanging open as her mind tried to process what Velnorah had just revealed. "What—?"

*FEEENNN*

But before any more words could be exchanged, a loud screech sliced through the air, shaking the ground once more.

The distant night sky darkened as several massive black arks emerged, cutting through the sky with terrifying speed.

Huh?

Velnorah's eyes narrowed looking at the arks "This is not vampire's..."

Zhao Tian's gaze squinted "It must be that Evil sect.. The Coven of Black Hearts."

Velnorah's eyes trembled as she finally remembered that the Vampires were in cahoots with the Evil Sect.
