The expression of the Steel Cavalry officer who had asked the question changed as he stammered, "Then … my three brothers …"
Yun Xiaoyao heaved a long sigh.
Although he did not say a word, everyone understood what he meant.
Many of the cavalrymen fell silent, tears welling up in their eyes.
Men did not shed tears easily, but the camaraderie they had accumulated on the battlefield could always trigger hot tears in a man.
The Steel Cavalry officer choked out, "Then … my three brothers … I … do we still have …"
"Yes," Yun Xiaoyao answered painfully.
"Who is it?" the officer asked angrily. "Who else?"
His gaze, as sharp as a blade, swept across the faces of the people around him.
Yun Xiaoyao sighed and took two steps forward to stand in front of the officer, saying softly, "It's …"
Before he could finish, Yun Xiaoyao suddenly reached out and grabbed the officer's neck. His other hand struck down like lightning as he bellowed, "It's you!"
With a loud thud, the officer obviously did not expect that he would be recognized despite his good disguise, his perfect emotions, and his good sense of self-importance. He was caught off guard, and his shoulder was completely crushed by Yun Xiaoyao's strike; even his chest caved in.
His eyes widened as he stared at Yun Xiaoyao in disbelief, struggling to speak, "You … how did you … you …"
Yun Xiaoyao's eyes flashed with deep anger as he said, "How can a bastard like you possibly imitate the feelings of the Steel Cavalry? You don't think about avenging your brothers, don't ask where their remains are, and only care about looking for spies. What do you think you're a Steel Cavalry soldier? "
The man's gaze was unfocused as he murmured, "I see …"
"Where are our men?" Yun Xiaoyao asked.
The man laughed bitterly. "Who would have thought that I, the Thousand Illusion Scholar … would fall here just like this …" His gaze, which had already begun to lose focus, looked at Yun Xiaoyao mockingly and chuckled. "As for your men … do you even need to ask?"
Yun Xiaoyao bellowed in rage and smashed the Thousand Illusion Scholar's head into smithereens.
Around them, more than fifty Steel Cavalry soldiers watched the scene with bright eyes, their faces filled with anger and sorrow.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh …
The golden light flashed again. This time, five beams of light appeared, and their targets were five people in the crowd.
When the five of them saw the golden light coming towards them, they all let out a loud roar. Without the slightest hesitation, they all jumped up and ran away.
Now that he had been exposed, if he didn't escape now, he would really be waiting for death.
Unexpectedly, just as they leapt up, the five figures strangely stopped in mid-air. It was as if someone had tied ropes to their legs and pulled them back with a casual tug.
Fang Mofei, who already had previous experience, was already prepared. With a sway of his body, the longsword in his hand struck again. The sword light was like a thunderbolt as five heads fell to the ground in unison.
Without waiting for Yun Xiaoyao's Steel Cavalry soldiers to verify the identities of the dead, seven or eight people who had been mixed in with the Steel Cavalry soldiers had already leapt up into the air and flown away. Now that the situation was clear, they no longer dared to entertain the thought of hiding here.
While they were not sure if the other party had already grasped their information, the nine people who had been exposed were definitely not ordinary characters, especially the Thousand Illusion Scholar, who could be said to be one of the few masters of disguise in the world. His method of disguise could be said to be flawless and flawless. At the very least, he could not see through it. Yet, he had still been captured and killed.
If even such a person could not be dealt with, it would be no different from seeking death if they remained here!
As they moved, the remaining impostors, who were still a distance away, followed suit. Then, another twelve people fled in all directions.
Yun Xiaoyao was in no hurry to stop the escapees. Instead, he let out a long howl that shook the entire area.
Amidst the howl, countless silhouettes appeared from all directions, intercepting the escapees in the air and attacking them.
The people that appeared to obstruct them wore the same attire, and all of them wore a pair of savage and terrifying bronze masks, causing them to be extremely ghastly and terrifying. Similarly, their skills were also terrifying. They displayed great strength and shocking might, and they seemed as if they were chopping melons and vegetables. In just a short moment, they'd chopped 17 of the 20 plus people that intended to flee to the ground!
At this point, only the last three people were still resisting stubbornly.
The abilities of these three people were impressive indeed. Even when they were besieged by the ten Yama Kings and were at a slight disadvantage, they were still able to defend and attack without any signs of panic.
Yun Yang watched in the dark and could not help frowning inwardly. Without hesitation, he joined the battle once more.
Part of what had happened today had exceeded Yun Yang's expectations. He had neither the mood nor the time to be entangled with these people. It was best to end this battle as soon as possible.
A light breeze blew slowly, as if everything was still the same as before.
In spite of this, the three people who were immersed in the battle immediately felt that something was amiss.
They were in midair, but they felt as if they were in the middle of the ocean. Every part of their bodies felt out of place; their limbs seemed to be affected by invisible waves as well, vaguely showing signs of being disrupted and pulled when they attacked.
Under the accumulation of various influences, it was difficult for them to unleash their skills freely.
Just as they were puzzled, they realized in shock that their feet seemed to be entangled by something, making it difficult for them to move.
It was as if they were at the bottom of the sea, entangled by seaweed. They stole a glance but saw nothing. They hurriedly circulated their cultivation method to the limit, only then did they feel that the entangled parts of their feet could be freed.
Although they had broken free from the shackles, the slight delay had already added seven to eight wounds to their bodies, inevitably reducing their combat power.
Furthermore, it was evident that the other party was not affected by the strange disturbance.
Did this not mean that the disturbance came from the other party? Otherwise, why would it only work on them?
The three of them were both anxious and afraid. They roared, "What's going on?!"
In desperation, they exerted their cultivation base to the limit and charged out with all their might.
In spite of this, the ten Yama Kings had already gained the upper hand. How could they allow the three of them to escape? They launched a further attack without hesitation, their momentum even stronger than before. The trend of the battle was getting more and more obvious.
