Yuki slowly opened up one of her eyes. But what she saw was Nana holding a sword to her own neck. Ignoring all the pain she was feeling in her body, she pushed the last of her qis out of her as she pushed herself up toward Nana, slapping the sword out of her hand and hugging her neck. “What the fuck are you doing?” Yuki’s voice was weak, and blood streamed from her mouth. The tears that rolled down her cheeks were visible to all. She did not know what Nana had on her mind, but she was glad she had enough power in her to stop the stupid dragon girl.

“If you die. Then what would I do? Nana stupid.” Yuki forced out as she collapsed in Nana’s arms. Nana was so shocked at what had just happened that she did not even get a chance to say anything. She looked at Yuki, who was just barely breathing and in a daze.

“Little disciple, why are you just sitting there? Feed her this.” A hand suddenly appeared in front of Nana’s face. She looked up to see her master standing there. 

    “Master!?” Nana’s eyes blinked a few times before she took the pill from Elder Nishikawa’s hand and put it into Yuki’s mouth. She watched as the pill melted and slid down Yuki’s throat. Yuki’s breathing slowly stabilized, causing Nana to feel as if the whole world had suddenly slipped off her shoulders.

“Silly girl. You three did well staying alive.” Elder Nishikawa squatted down and put her hand on Both Yuki’s and Nana’s heads. Her gaze was very gentle. 

“Master. Silvia!” Nana became nervous again. She had heard a huge explosion not too long ago.

“She’s fine. As a matter of fact, she was quite lucky.” Elder Nishikawa had just arrived as the massive palm strike from the Roaring Thunder Sect’s sect master fell down. She saw Silvia trying to resist it with all her might, but the pressure was already causing her to sink deep into the ground.

Yuki’s sect master was the one who rushed forward and slapped the palm strike away, causing it to crash into the tree line, which resulted in a massive explosion.

After the palm strike was diverted….

“Old Fang, to think you would raise your hands against juniors!” Yuki’s sect master’s eyes were filled with killing intent.

“Old bastard, do you really think I give a shit when things have come this far!? From the moment you decided to go against me in every way possible. Even allowing your disciples to kill mine, all rules had come to an end.” The Roaring Thunder Sect’s sect master replied with a sneer.

“If you did not try to attack my sect, do you think we would have retaliated in kind? If you did not try to poison my disciples, do you think your disciples would have died? You keep talking as if you are the righteous one, but in fact, you are the instigator in all of this. If you did not have designs to take over my Heavenly Cloud Sect, this would not have come about. We used to be friends. Even if we were sect masters of two different sects, we still had a friendship that even allowed us to hold friendly tournaments. 

“But you became greedy. Even going as far as to associate yourself with Kuro.” Yuki’s sect master could only shake his head. “You are only getting the retribution you deserve!” 

“Hah!” The Roaring Thunder Sect’s sect master let out a laugh. “It no longer matters. The past is the past. As of now, we are enemies. You may have stopped me today, but be warned. Any disciple who leaves your sect will die.” 

Leaving these words, the Roaring Thunder Sect’s sect master suddenly took out an old scroll. His entire body lit up so brightly that everyone present had to close their eyes. When the light finally dimmed, the Roaring Thunder Sect’s sect master was no longer there.

“Tch…. He got away.” Yuki’s sect master was not happy in the slightest. He turned towards the girl lying on the ground and took out a pill. He had to admit he was surprised this girl lasted so long. 

Yuki’s sect master walked over and handed Silvia the pill in his hand. “Take this and heal your injuries.”

“Yu-Yuki…. She’s badly hurt… save her….” Silvia had nothing left in her. Her entire body felt weak. She was barely even able to speak. To survive as long as she did took everything she had.

“It’s fine… Your master is already making her way there. Rest here. I am sure they will be back soon.” Yuki’s sect master smiled at the girl before standing up. He looked at the area around him and could tell that Yuki must have gone all out. The residual demonic qi and spiritual qi were still present. He waved his hand and erased the demonic qi in the air before looking at the long sword marks on the ground and trees. “No wonder that old fool was in such bad shape. She must have used her new technique. Sadly, her cultivation was not a realm higher, then the girl might have won.”  

“Sect Master!” Elder Nishikawa walked over with Yuki in her arms. Nana was too much of a mess to even carry Yuki at this time. “Where is the old bastard?”

“He got away. He had a scroll of teleportation. He used such a rare scroll to get away. Although he should know those things teleport people to random points. Anyway, things are done here. Let’s get these kids back. They need to rest. They can heal their wounds in the myriad pools.”
