The Rise of the Black Plain

Chapter 238: Surprise Attack

Feeling their respective cultivation returning to their control, Barbara and Robin felt confused and happy at this point.

Due to the fact that their cultivations had previously been sealed, they both could not feel the spiritual fluctuations that Minos' technique emitted. Therefore, they did not know that he was responsible for what happened to their necklaces.

At the same time, they were both unaware of the strength of any of those people who were there, fighting like mad, with some bodies already scattered here and there.

After a moment, Robin finally looked at Barbara and asked seriously. "Do you know how this happened?"

"No. But we had better take this chance. Let's release all the other captives!" Barbara said firmly.

She was not suggesting it because she had a good heart or wanted to save the people she lived with these past few weeks.

This was a harsh situation, and Barbara experienced enough to know that there was no glory in selfless acts. If not for the fact that she had her cultivation released from the earlier suppression by Minos, she would have tried to run away without looking back!

However, the situation had changed entirely. She was not strong enough to participate in these fights taking place on this base, but now she could at least protect herself.

Before, she was completely vulnerable, with no chance of causing any change in this event.

But now, she could further increase the turmoil and improve her chances of escape. By releasing the other slaves, even if they could not and would not fight, it would make it difficult for the winner of this battle to chase them all!

Running away separately, with as many people as there were in this place, was the best way to make the captors' work difficult!

Hence, Barbara wanted to use those other people to improve her chances of escape.

Finally, upon hearing her companion's suggestion, Robin soon understood what this woman's purpose was. And it indeed seemed like the best way out.

As much as they could get away now, if any of those Chambers family's guards went after them, then they'd both be in serious trouble. They could only defend for a short time but not defeat these enemies!

And so, Robin nodded to Barbara in agreement, still in the same spot as before, besides where the young Stuart had fallen earlier.

...

As the two newly freed women made their way to that building from which the other captives were being 'hosted,' Minos and Jamie had an uphill battle right now.

Neither of them was seriously injured, but the battle they were fighting was well balanced. Jamie had a slight advantage, but he had not been able to ignore young Stuart's incredible defense.

The Indestructible Body of Minos was already powerful enough to withstand a few blows from a level 51 cultivator without causing severe injuries to its user. For the rest, the young ruler of the Black Plain had only a few minor injuries, nothing that would not improve with two days' rest.

But what had made Minos' fight so well against someone of Jamie's level was not just his strong defense but his speed!

The young Stuart had an excellent movement technique that allowed him to dodge most of that Spiritual King's attacks. And, at the same time, he counterattacked as best as he could.

On the other hand, Jamie demonstrated his superior cultivation by surviving the majority of Minos' attacks with only a few scratches throughout his body.

But this Spiritual King of the Chambers family was starting to get annoyed by what was going on. Minos seemed to be doing almost as well as he was, and there was no sign of this intruder wanting to flee.

Jamie was paying close attention to his fight, but he could still clearly feel that there was a balance to the other battles being fought in this place as well. Consequently, he thought that an enemy like Minos should already be showing some anxiety in a situation like this!

'I have to get this over with soon. Otherwise, something unexpected might happen!' He thought this as he saw Minos coming towards him, already unleashing several sword attacks and moving at high speed.

Devil's Claws!

Jamie quickly activated his attack technique, which resulted in the formation of several sharp purple claws in his hands that were as powerful as a grade-2, medium-level weapon!

Spatial Sword!

Swooish!

Soon after, several blades of air cut the space of the place where the two were fighting while Jamie ran from side to side, sometimes jumping and dodging the long-range attacks sent by Minos.

It was not easy to fight an opponent who fought so well at a long distance and could still move quickly...

'What an annoying guy!'

But this Spiritual King was also able to cause trouble for Minos. Though he was not as fast as this young intruder, the difference was not so brutal that Jamie could not do anything.

And with that, in a few seconds dodging some of the attacks and running through that spot, Jamie was getting closer and closer to Minos!

'Looks like you're in a hurry to get this over with, huh?' Minos thought to himself as he watched the leader of this base begin to demonstrate an even higher level of fighting proficiency.

Previously, it looked like Jamie was trying to get the Minos' group to give up and flee. But he had not been successful. Both the group coming from the Black Plain and those pursuers would not leave this place until they reached their respective goals.

Jamie was powerful, but he knew he could not eliminate that group without many losses on his side. Then, he wanted to scare these people and make them run away.

This was the best way out at the time!

But seeing that all this was just bullshit and that these people were committed to their goals, Jamie no longer wanted to use the previous strategy and was ready to use everything he had, even if it meant sacrificing many of these guards present here!

He then yelled, still running towards Minos. "Use everything you have! Kill these enemies anyway!"

And at that moment, he finally got close enough to the young Stuart, as he moved his two arms diagonally, with both coming from the bottom up, one after the other.

It was as if he was trying to rip Minos' guts out, using the sharp claws of his hand to open the young man's chest with all the brutality he could muster.

"Die!"

Whoop!

However, contrary to his expectations, Minos was not harmed by this attack but deftly evaded it by leaning his body back more than 45 degrees, creating a magnificent sight to behold.

He appeared to be falling in slow motion as he held his grade-2 sword in a position that protected his body right in front of his belly.

Crack!

After that, Minos did two backward somersaults, quickly trying to get back to his balanced position while attempting to dodge long-range attacks sent by Jamie after the previous failure.

'Wow! That was a close…" He commented to himself as he had a discreet smile under the mask he wore.

Minos was a little excited about this fight, but that was not the reason he smiled. No, the reason was that Jamie had finally started to fight recklessly, trying to end the battle quickly!

'It's almost time for you to show yourself, Emlyn!' He then ran around that spot again, dodging and attacking Jamie evasively.

Spatial Sword!

Swooish!

Clang!

Metallic sounds filled the air as Jamie's purple claws collided with the 'body' of Minos' sword, which had already developed small cracks at the points of contact with the Spiritual King's technique.

Crack!

"This is your end!" Jamie spoke aloud, seeing that his opponent's spiritual weapon was about to break from the constant clashes with his claws.

"We'll see!" Minos said in an ominous tone, just as he could see an orange trail fast approaching behind Jamie's back...
