"Lord Eagle Cat, we are from Yuzhang City's Investigation Team. We will kill these Yuan Kou escorts later. Please cooperate with us!"
The Scout Captain walked to the side of the naked Eagle Cat Sword Spirit in the crowd and whispered into his ear.
The Eagle Cat's expression did not change. It still had a dull and hopeless expression, as if it did not hear what the leader of the Investigation Team said. If the leader did not notice the Eagle Cat's eyelids suddenly blinking three times, he would have thought that the Eagle Cat's hearing had been destroyed by these Yuan Kou.
The leader understood and began to arrange for his team members to prepare to rescue the Eagle Cat.
The team escorting the Eagle Cat was made up of twelve Yuan Kou. Ten of them were Ancient Greek Templars, while the other two were Ancient Greek Templars.
The Templars were Ghost Yuan Kou, while the Templars were Soul Yuan Kou. They were all at the same level as the Sword Wielders of the Investigation Team.
Logically speaking, it shouldn't be too difficult for a team of seven swordbearers to defeat twelve Yuan Shen of the same level.
However, the problem was that the Sky Piercing Swords were known for their stealth and jumping abilities. Their fighting abilities were very weak, and they were no match for Yuan Kou of the same level.
Moreover, there were still other Yuan Kou wandering around. Once the battle started, these Yuan Kou would definitely swarm in. By then, the Sky Piercing Swords would not only have to face twelve Yuan Kou, but hundreds or even thousands of Yuan Kou. They would definitely die a horrible death.
Therefore, after careful consideration, the team leader decided to focus his forces and kill the two Templar Warriors guarding the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit. Once the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit was rescued, he would immediately summon the power of Sword Immortal Bai Stallion to rescue them from the void.
And so, the two Greek Templars who were standing beside the Eagle Cat Blade Spirit welcomed the last moments of their lives. In the blink of an eye, six to seven Swordmaidens appeared in front of them and stabbed their swords into the gaps of their armor. After the first round of ambush, the two Greek Templars' eyes bulged out and angrily pulled out their greatswords to retaliate against their opponents.
After a series of clashes, the two Greek Templars died and the dimensional vortex appeared.
From this, it could be seen how weak the Sky Piercing Sword's Swordladies were. Under normal circumstances, when faced with a surprise attack from three or four Swordladies of the same level, a mere Ghost Realm Yuan Kou would definitely die on the spot.
But in reality, they only managed to hold on for a few seconds. It was only when the Swordmaidens' second round of attacks that they managed to kill the two Templars. It was clear that the Swordmaidens' attack power was insufficient.
"Hurry up and release the binding of the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit!"
After the Swordmaidens, the other Swordmaidens also jumped out and rushed to the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit's side, trying to break the binding on the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit.
The Eagle Cat Sword Spirit was bound by a long iron chain … It even had the symbol of Yuzhang City on it. It seemed that these were the materials that Yuan Kou had found from the abandoned items in the Mei Ling Mountain Range.
These seemed to be the encirclement chains of the camp, made to defend against Yuan Kou's. They were mixed with some Dimensional Crystal Stone powder, making them stronger than normal chains … Who would have thought that these things that were originally used to defend against Yuan Kou's attacks would end up being used by Yuan Kou to bind the humans.
"Sir!
Save us!
Sir, save us! "
"Sir, we are all from the Yue Yang Fortress, please save us!
Please save us! "
Seeing the sudden appearance of the human Swordmaidens, the humans who were bound by the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit started to plead with them.
"Captain … You see …" One of the team members couldn't bear to see his own compatriots pleading with him.
"Save as many as you can …" The captain glared at his team member. "The rest of the Templars are already here, organize a defense!"
After two of the Templars were killed, the rest of the Templars immediately rushed over. The Swordmaidens of the scouting team immediately went up to block the Templars' attack.
However, as the rest of the Templars joined the battle, the pressure that the Swordmaidens had to face also increased, and they were gradually suppressed.
"How is it, can you break this chain?"
The captain asked anxiously. Unexpectedly, when they were trying to break the binding of the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit, they encountered a huge problem.
These chains, which they usually didn't care about, had become a difficult problem to deal with. They couldn't break it at all.
At this time, the Saber-grade Swordmaidens were defending against the Templar Warriors. They could only use their Ancient Saber-grade Swordmaidens to try and break the chains. However, the quality of the chains was too good. The Ancient Saber-grade Swordmaidens were made of the same material as the chains. So, when the Ancient Saber-grade Swordmaidens slashed at the chains, they only created sparks and scratches. There was no other effect.
At this time, the captain's heart suddenly surged with hatred for the iron chain manufacturer. Can't you learn from other companies and embezzle a little bit of the dimensional crystals mixed in to make some fake and inferior products?
Why did they have to make the quality so good?
"Captain, are you done yet? Our Swordmaidens can't hold on for much longer!"
A team member said anxiously. When the remaining 8 Templars and 2 Templars gathered together to attack the 7 tiny Sky Piercing Swords, the situation instantly became precarious. Under the attack of the Yuan Yan, the Swordladies kept retreating. They were about to retreat to the side of the Sky Piercing Swords and were completely surrounded by the Swordladies.
"Damn it, this chain can't be broken at all!"
The captain madly slashed at the chains … Although he could see a small gap under his brute force, it was only a small gap. If he wanted to break the chains, it would probably take at least an hour.
But the problem was, where did this team get an hour?
They probably didn't even have three minutes. Somewhere further away, the rest of the Yuan Kou's were already rushing over. At that time, the team would have to face a tidal wave of attacks from Yuan Kou's. They would probably be torn to pieces by Yuan Kou in an instant.
"No, we can't delay any longer!
You cut the chains, I'll send a message to the Chairman. I hope that the Chairman can save the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit! "
The team leader loosened the chains in his hands and took out a small, square-shaped stone from his dimensional pocket. He closed his eyes and immersed his consciousness into the stone … This stone was a Void Stone that Sword Immortal Baicolo had specially created. It could send his consciousness into the void and communicate with another Void Stone that was compatible with it.
"Chairman!
Are you there?
Chairman! "The captain frantically poured his consciousness into the Void Stone.
"I'm here!" What made the captain happy was that he quickly received a response from Sword Immortal Baiju.
"Sky Piercing Sword Team, how's your current situation?" Ju Wudao asked.
"Chairman, the investigation mission has been completed … However, we're now surrounded by Yuan Kou's. We hope that the Chairman can save us!" The captain quickly said.
"Alright, I understand!
You guys must hold on for one more minute. I need time to cut open the void! "Jiandi could cut open the void anywhere he wanted.
However, Sword Immortals could not. Depending on the distance, he needed a certain amount of time to cut open the void nearby.
"Yes!"
The captain cut off communication with Ju Wudao and shouted to his teammates, "Comrades, Sword Ladies, let's hold on for one more minute. After one minute, the Chairman will come to save us!"
Humans were not afraid of despair, but they were afraid of not seeing a sliver of hope.
When they heard that they could survive as long as they held on for one more minute, everyone erupted with a huge amount of strength and forcefully commanded their Sword Ladies to resist the attacks of the Templar Warriors.
There were no accidents or delays. A minute later, a Void Door opened at the location of the Void Stone. As long as the team passed through this door, they would be able to return to Ju Wudao's side successfully and escape this disaster.
It was not a problem for the members of the team to escape, but what about the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit?
At that moment, the chains on the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit's hands were still firm. There were no signs of them being cut.
"Captain, what should we do?" the team member in charge of cutting the chains asked anxiously.
Humans had to put everything on their bodies into the Void Gate. Only then could they leave through the Void Gate.
The chains bound the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit's hands and extended for hundreds of meters. Either the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit cut the chains, or it would have to bring all the chains and the humans bound to it to enter the Void Gate.
However, both options seemed to be impossible at this moment, so the captain made a prompt decision to make the best choice.
"Forget it. If we can't cut the chains, we'll retreat!"
The captain said without hesitation. He then turned his head to look at the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit and cupped his fists. "I'm sorry, Sir Eagle Cat. We're useless and can't save you!
It's fine if I'm alone, but I can't let my brothers die here. Please forgive us, Sir! "
After saying this, the captain began to order his team members to retreat through the Void Door in an orderly manner … They had thought that they could still save the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit's life. They did not expect that they would end up being cut by a high-quality chain. This was something that they had never expected.
"Give it to me!"
Suddenly, the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit, who had been weak and silent all this time, finally spoke. "Comrade, give me the sword in your hand!"
"My … sword?" The swordsman beside the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit was stunned.
"Give it to him!" the captain seemed to understand something and immediately said.
"Here you go, Sir!"
The Eagle Cat Sword Spirit took the Ancient Sword Maiden's body from the swordsman and took a deep breath. He then waved his sword and slashed at the chains twice … The chains that had caused the Void Piercing Sword Team so much trouble were instantly cut.
These two slashes seemed to have used up all of the Eagle Cat Sword Spirit's strength. He collapsed onto the swordsman beside him.
