205 Death Song Array
Putri drew a cold breath. She immediately activated Charya's token. Alas, it was too late, even if she knew about it. She would be too late to reach this place. Putri said to Alex, "Can you raise your speed?"
Alex nodded. He immediately used his Sky Step and his fire to boost his speed to the maximum. This wasn't the time to hold back his power. Putri also didn't ask about the sudden appearance of his element. As expected, the moment they increased their speed, the pursuers also increased their speed.
Alex was thinking about calling Anna and Leoz. Unfortunately, even if he called them, they can't do anything in front of the pursuers. Even Alex raised Leoz's or Anna's cultivation to 4-Star Martial Grandmaster. They can't fight that many people.
At this pace, the pursuers would be able to catch up to them. Alex called Sherry. Sherry appeared above his head. Putri was shocked by the sudden appearance of Sherry and also her cuteness. But this was not the time for that. Alex said, "Sherry. Use your flame to hold them back."
"Wuu!" Sherry nodded. She sat on Alex's head while looking on the pursuer on his back. She raised her paw. Many firebirds appeared above her. She can only summon twenty firebirds at the time. Suddenly Alex also raised his hands. Another twenty firebirds also appeared above them. Now the firebirds numbered forty. "I will also help you with their summoning. You will control them and shake them off."
Putri and Alex can't fight while running at them at their full speed. But for Alex, he can let Sherry controlled his fire and attacked them while he only needs to summon the firebirds.
Sherry became pumped up, she pointed her paw at the pursuers. "Wuu (Charge)"
Forty firebirds suddenly flew toward the pursuers. Sherry tried to target every one of them. So, each of them would have one or two firebirds. But the pursuers were 4-Star Grandmaster or above. That would not be effective. As a result, there was no one who cared about those tiny firebirds. Sherry and Alex summoned the firebirds again. But this time, Alex said, "Try to attack one of them at the time. Attack the weakest one first."
"Wuu (Understood)" Sherry targeted a 4-Star Martial Grandmaster with forty firebirds. And yeah, the strategy seemed successful. 4-Star Grandmaster was burned to death by a few firebirds' explosion. With this wave of attack, Sherry managed to kill seven pursuers.
The pursuers were shocked about that, but they didn't stop. They were chasing them at the same speed. They would be able to catch up with them in three minutes. The distance between them with Alex and Putri was only about one kilometers. A normal Martial Grandmaster can cover that in a few seconds. But, Alex and Putri were also moving. Catching them with their distance...they can only catch them up little by little.
The next wave of firebirds came again. But to their surprise, they started to group up and erected a barrier. This time, they managed to escape unscathed from the firebirds.
"Wuu"
"..." Alex was pondering something. He looked at Putri, who was really worried about him. She also had used her wind element to help his speed. She felt bad because she can't fight back at this moment since the pursuers might catch up if they stopped just a bit. She can only give a portion of her wind to help Alex in his speed.
Alex didn't hesitate anymore. He said inwardly. "Pure Fire On"
The Fire Phoenix Seed immediately revolved like crazy and broke. The Pure Fire inside him gushed out and hovering around him. Putri was shocked by the intense heat Alex's fire generated. Fortunately, she didn't have a Fire Element. If not, she would get an elemental suppression since she was beside him. For the time being, she just realized that Alex's flame was strong. She didn't know that Alex's fire was actually Pure Fire.
"Fire Phoenix Art, Fire Stage. Phoenix"
A mighty Fire Phoenix entered the sky. Sherry immediately followed what Alex did. She also summoned her Phoenix. Two phoenix was flying in the sky. Sherry controlled them. Upon seeing the fire phoenix, the pursuers felt dread about it. They made a group of five and erected a barrier. Unfortunately for them, Alex had completely released his Pure Fire. Even Sherry's fire was enhanced with that. There were two Fire Phoenix made by Pure Fire in the sky.
They charged at the group. This time, Sherry let each Phoenix had their share. The moment the Phoenix clashed with the barrier. It immediately burned the barrier and swallowed the people inside it.
Sherry had killed another ten pursuers. The original thirty three pursuers were now only sixteen pursuers. Sherry killed seven of them in the first wave and ten of them in the second wave. Unfortunately, she can only kill the weakest one. Even if Alex's fire was a Pure Fire. Killing an opponent with a very big difference in their cultivation was still not possible. It was also the pressure to catch Alex and Putri that made them unable to defend or dodge them fully. If it were one on one, even Alex wouldn't be able to kill them like that easily. In other words, there were still sixteen strong pursuers, including their two 10-Star Martial Grandmaster.
When their distance was only three hundred meters away, the pursuers started attacking them. There were three incoming attacks. The first one was a big wind tornado, the second was a dragon made by thunder, and the third one was numerous icicles.
To that attack, Both Alex and Sherry summoned their Phoenix and firebirds. The first Phoenix clashed with the thunder dragon. But to their surprise, the thunder dragon was burned by the Phoenix until it disappeared, the same applied to the wind. Although Wind Element had an elemental advantage against fire. It was rendered to be useless in front of Pure Fire. The fire burned every bit of wind and destroyed the tornado. As for the icicles, they were intercepted by the firebirds.
Their distance now was only half a minute away. They suddenly send a giant stone boulder to them. Alex was surprised. Putri immediately said, "It is an artifact, they are the same as weapons but in a unique shape. But for the one that big, I'm afraid it is a rank 4 Artifact. If it is only a rank 3 artifact, I should be able to blow it away with my wind. But I can't blow a rank 4 artifact. I shall stop them here. You will go to the sect and report the incident. You have a bigger talent than mine, and you are also my Junior Brother. Let this Senior Sister sacrifice herself so you can forge your own path."
Alex frowned. "Senior Sister, how about I infuse my Fire Element to your wind element. I'm sure it can strengthen your wind element."
Putri pondered a bit, but looking at the Giant Boulder flew toward them, she didn't have time to consider and accepted it immediately, "We will try."
Putri pointed her hand to the giant boulder. She didn't need to target it specifically. After all, it was a big target. She still flying at her fastest speed.
"Eclipse Wind"
A small tornado appeared on her left palm. It suddenly expanded and became a fierce tornado. It clashed with the giant boulder, but as expected, it can't push the boulder back. Alex then stretched out his hand. He held her hand and started infusing his fire element. That overbearing fire element started invading the wind element in Putri's hand.
"Ah!" Putri felt the intense heat from Alex's Fire element. Looking at Putri, Alex started to hesitate, but Putri said at Alex seriously, "Don't pull back. I will be fine."
After looking at her expression, Alex's expression became solemn. He continued channeling his Fire Element. A spark of fire appeared on the tornado before it flared up and started enveloping the tornado. The wind tornado became a blazing fire tornado. And its power was extraordinary. It pushed back the giant boulder back to its caster. It came toward a group. Obviously, they can't dodge it and, ultimately, crushed to death. There were only ten people left.
Unfortunately, they had caught up with them. Alex and Putri looked at their surroundings. In Alex's left, there were three 8-Star Martial Grandmaster. In Putri's right, There were two 8-Star Martial Grandmaster and one 9-Star Grandmaster. In their back, there were two 9-Star and two 10-Star Grandmaster.
Putri said, "Alex, this is an order from your Senior Sister. You go back alone, I will hold them back."
Alex obviously can't obey that. It wasn't his style to abandon someone like this. He desperately activated his Spirit Eyes to see if there is any chance to escape or maybe a powerful monster he can utilize to help them break this situation.
"You two wretches, this is as far as you go. I never thought with just the two of you. You can kill many of Bell's Family Grandmaster." The one who said that was obviously the Bell's Family patriarch, Jake Bell.
"Do you want to kill us because I crippled that whatever young master of yours? If so, let my Junior Brother go. It was me who did that, not him." Putri said.
"Haha, you are ignorant. You think I cared about that useless son of mine? You are completely wrong. I don't give a damn about him"
"Let my Junior Brother go, you can do anything to me."
"I don't care about that. I need the two of you to die here."
"Why!" Putri shouted.
"Why you said? You have ruined our plan by killing those bastards. If not because of you, our family can become a prominent family. But because of you two. Our path has been cut. This anger can be settled with your two lives."
"You should know who I am! Heavenly Sword Sect won't let you off."
"That's why we will kill you in these woods. Although, this forest was a low level forest. As long as we can cover our trace. They won't be able to know it was us who killed you. Hahahaha"
Alex finally saw a big cave not far from them. In his Spirit Eyes' vision. One hundred meters beneath the cave. There was a place filled with energy. But to his surprise, the energy didn't go up and fill the cave. It can also be said, Spiritual Energy was like gases. They filled the room. But there was no energy leaked to the cave. Instead, it filled to another place underground, and because of the distance, Alex can't thoroughly look at it. Alex gulped down, he can't help but smile. It was a gamble.
He said to his Senior Sister. "Senior Sister, do you trust me? This is a gamble between life and death, though."
Putri looked at his solemn face. Her expression became serious, and she said with all her heart, "I trust you, I trust my life to you at this moment. We will die anyway if we don't do anything."
Alex nodded. It was fortunate that the Bell's family hadn't attacked them even though they had surrounded them. Alex said to her, "You see the big cave in front of us?"
"Yeah" Putri nodded.
"We will go inside. Trust me" Alex said.
Putri didn't ask anything more, fully knew that they couldn't escape in a cave as it might only trap them inside. Putri thought Alex wanted to make the Bell's family buried along with them. Putri nodded at him.
They stopped because the Bell family had surrounded them completely. The Bell family immediately used their Martial Arts ready to attack them.
"Haha, You talked too much. You even told you wanted to kill both of us and your relationship with the evil cult." Alex shouted to taunt them.
"Hmph, A brat like you can say that. I only gave the reason for a dead person, so you won't haunt me and also?Dead men tell no tales" Jake Bell snorted. "Attack!"
Putri was releasing all of her energy, she would sacrifice her life to block this attack for Alex. Suddenly, Alex grabbed her hand as he raised his other hand and shouted. "Senior Sister, cover your ears."
Hearing that, Sherry was the first one who covered her ears with her paws. Looking at Sherry, Putri also did the same. Alex plugged his ears with Spiritual Energy as a hundred symbols suddenly appeared in front of his hands. Everyone was shocked to see this. Alex was actually an Array Master. Jake Bell immediately shouted, "Cover your ears"
Trying to make the same move as Alex had instructed Putri, but sadly, they were too late. Without giving them a chance to cover their eyes. Alex flicked his finger.
