Maiden Of The Splitting Moon 134 A Field

She fought to kill and left many in near death states.

Quick and decisive, Ming Yue fought with an intense fervor.

At one point, she had taken on six at once. Bearing the brunt of their combined strike with her blade with both her hands on the supporting the sword, she broke the attack and quickly took care of them. Some fell after losing one or two limbs, others laid on the ground in pain from broken bones. Then she moved on.

With each attack, she took down two or three and left bodies in her path.

As long as they lost their ability to fight, she went on to a new enemy.

This was perhaps her most terrifying trait, she felt no compassion for them and she moved like a phantom. As soon as she appeared, she would be somewhere else in seconds.

"Watch out for her!"

"She's over there!"

"Agghhh! My leg!"

"Where is she?!"

"Damn it! Why can't we catch her?!"

"If we don't get her, then that Kuang Li won't give us our reward!"

Her presence caused chaos in the crowds. The pressure that the Clear Spring disciples faced had greatly disappeared. This had given them the much needed rest they needed and an opportunity to escape. So long as Ming Yue held on, they would be able to come back with aid.

Ming Yue had to be dealt with or else they would face defeat. Some had already begun to feel regret in joining the Junior Sect Leader in this, unfortunately Zuo Er really did have mind bending charisma. But now, they had no other choice but to go through with it. Even more so, Kuang Li had promised them a great reward for who ever took her head.

At this point, they tried to avoid where she moved. Simply using numbers did not seem to work, they had no coordination. Thus, only the stronger disciples began approaching her.

"Let me take care of her! She's not the only one who can move like that!"

Everyone backed off while a purple haze met Ming Yue in the middle of a circle that formed. It was a man much older than her and he carried a short, single edged blade. He had a pony tail and a clean shaven face.

"It's Yan Xia. He might be able to do it!" everyone spoke to each other and watched.

But he was not the only one, two others joined him.

Two young maidens, one carried a pair of claws and the other had a sword. Both wore deep violet clothes that matched each other. Equally beautiful, both of them had their hair flowing down, a lovely brown hue that paired well with their charming faces.

Strangely enough, Ming Yue felt as if she had seen them before.

"Back off, Yan Xia! She's ours!" talking at the same time, they brushed him aside and stared at Ming Yue.

"What?! I finally have an opponent and you're going to brush me off like this!" Yan Xia was furious.

This could've been a battle of speed! But they had to interfere with it. He didn't make a move and stood back. As much as he'd like to, he did not want to create a bad relationship with this two.

"It's the Yen Sisters! Quick back off!" recognizing them, groups of the disciples backed off, afraid of getting in their way.

The sisters smiled.

"Kuang Li told us about what you did to our younger sister, Yen Fen. Since you tried to kill her it's only fair that we repay you in kind!" one of them said.

"Yen Hua! Let's start, I'm going to rip her face to pieces!" the one with the claws urged her sister to begin.

So they were Yen Fen's older sisters! Ming Yue was surprised, mostly because she didn't think Yen Fen had siblings. Her attitude seemed far too vicious to mix well with other siblings. But thinking about it now, Ming Yue understood where Yen Fen learned it from.

The two sisters lunged towards Ming Yue with their weapons drawn.

With two opponents, it was difficult to match them in battle. Especially because both were in the Earth Realm, their attacks were powerful and their techniques refined. However, Ming Yue was able to match them in this battle.

She suffered a slight disadvantage but it could be easily changed.

Those three days in the Unstable Peak were immensely helpful to her, not to mention her fight with Kuang Li. It helped her hone in her concentration, allowing her to better control her energy. Furthermore, she trained under the pressure of rain and lightning, perilous winds and crashing thunder.

Her Dao of Everchanging Winds slowly developed, deepening as she comprehended all that she knew. The Peak forced out her potential and she used every bit of it.

Ever changing, wind is a mysterious force, going wherever it pleased. Ming Yue matched her style of fighting under that idea. To match she had modeled her movement under it as well. But she found herself unable to improve it. Controlling the direction and the movement of the sword, she had a great grasp at it. But then , she did not know where to move towards, what direction to take.

Then it came to her, she had to focus on the immaterial. That is to say, her own energy, changing its intensity, direction and position, how it moves both inside and outside her body.

While her physical form had limits, her energy and mind did not. To continue honing and practicing her control, understanding the properties of her own power. From there, she made all sorts of advancements and in this battle, her progress was clearly shown.

What she lacking in cultivation, she made up with her improved techniques as well as some newer ones. One of the first ones she created made its debut just then.

Her sword was coated in an invisible layer of energy but it gave off a low hum. If one inspected it closely, they could feel a small breeze of wind coming off from the blade.

As Drifting Sky met the Yen Sister's weapons, the screeching sound of metal scraping each other was heard. Strangely enough, their weapons were riddles with marks and chips but Ming Yue's weapon was mostly untouched.

This was more than just the quality and as the fought carried on, there were more and more signs of damage.

Yen Hua noticed this and exclaimed to her sister, "Nu'er, look at our weapons! What did this bitch do!?"

She was furious, her precious sword seemed like it could break at any moment. Her sister, Yen Nu, took note of this.

"Let's stop fooling around then", she said.

Raising her claws, Yen Hua cycled her force and her claws began to morph. The four blades on each knuckle became thicker and sharper, straightening out these claws took on a more simpler design.

Yen Nu followed suit. Spinning her sword several times, the handle detached itself revealing a chain that connected the two parts. The blade morphed and expanded, six blades came out from it. It resembled that of a seven branched sword* but much deadlier.

The Dao of Metal!

Yen Fen's chain whip sword was certainly interesting, but her sister's weapons were even more intriguing.

"Let's see you try the true forms of our weapons!" Yen Nu yelled out before attacking.

She swung the blade forward and controlled it with the chain and handle. It whistled through the air, reading to pierce a hole through Ming Yue's body.

Yen Hua followed up and charged, ready to strike Ming Yue after Yen Nu's attack.

Ming Yue had no time to think and dashed away. However, she could not evade the strike for Yen Nu tugged the chain and the blade followed Ming Yue.

Those in the way of the the seven branch blade tried to avoid it and ran in fear. But some were unfortunate and their bodies were cut through by the blade. If that wasn't horrifying enough, their would quickly festered and boiled and they howled in pain.

"Poison!" thought Ming Yue.

This must've been why everyone retreated from this fight.

Meanwhile, Yen Hua changed course and moved in front of Ming Yue's way. She then rushed forward and produced a rush of attacks. Caught in the middle and with no real space to dodge, Ming Yue had no choice to but face these attacks head on.
