Chapter 197 - Attacking Origin Sect Branch
In Veninza City, Laura and Noah had trained their groups for nearly one whole week. Today, it was time for them to attack the Origin Sect's Branch in this city.
Noah's group would be the vanguard, while Laura's group would attack from a distance.
The regular battles between their two groups were to teach them how a close-ranged fighter should fight against a long-range fighter. And the same was true for vice-versa.
Now, Laura's group had learned that they had to divide their attention and keep a formation where they wouldn't block their comrades' vision and target everyone from the enemy's side.
They had also learned to assist their comrades when they were targeted by their opponents. Although they hadn't won a single match against Noah's group, they were more or less satisfied with their progress.
Their cultivation was also growing rapidly. This was related to Azaroth drawing a Spiritual Gathering Array silently.
Laura and Noah's hadn't informed them that they would fight against the Origin Sect's Branch in this city.
The only thing their subordinates had been informed was that they would test their skill against other opponents.
Their subordinates were very excited to test their skills against other people. The rapid progress they experienced increased their confidence greatly.
The Origin Sect's Branch in Veninza City was quite weak compared to other powers in the city.
Veninza City was The Dragon Tiger Palace's turf. And the Dragon Tiger Palace naturally didn't make it easy for Origin Sect to establish a strong branch in their city.
Each time the Origin Sect sent a 5 Star Elder to Veninza City, the elder would die mysteriously. The Origin Sect didn't dare to investigate too deeply since that would mean conflict with the Dragon Tiger Palace. The Origin Sect didn't want to tear all face with the Dragon Tiger Palace for an elder.
They had decided to stop sending any 5 Star Warrior to this branch in Veninza City.
Thus, the highest cultivation base in this Origin Sect's branch was the 4 Star Rank. However, there were seven 4 Star Ranked warriors in this branch.
It would be Noah and Laura's task to handle these seven 4 Star Warriors. He wasn't planning to assist them.
Moreover, he had given them another instruction. They had to keep the killing to a minimum.
If many of the Origin Sect's disciples were massacred, it would make headlines, and the main branch might dispatch some powerful experts to the city. However, if the Origin Sect disciples in this branch weren't massacred, the sect branch would do everything possible to keep this information hidden from the rest of the world.
Soon, a few disciples had an ugly expression as they noticed the direction they were going.
They even spoke out, "M-master Noah, aren't we going in the wrong direction? If we keep walking, we will enter the Origin Sect's territory."
The man who asked this question was Laura's subordinate.
Noah coldly replied, "And how is it the wrong direction? That is indeed our destination. You are going to fight against the Origin Sect's disciples."
Noah finally revealed this information to them all.
When they were ready to approach the Origin Sect's area, Azaroth had ordered him to divulge this knowledge.
Although they would receive a huge shock, they would still forcefully adjust their mentality due to the grave situation.
Laura spoke up, "We will take action when you are fighting someone beyond your ability. Just focus on doing your best."
Those words relieved their subordinates. They were quite confident to face the disciples of the same rank as them.
After half an hour, Noah, Laura, and their subordinates entered the Origin Sect's territory.
Their presence alerted the Origin Sect's experts. They immediately organized a meeting to figure out why this group was coming towards them.
They immediately sent a scout to figure out Noah and their group's intentions. The leaders wouldn't come out since they wanted to maintain their face
Soon, the scout appeared in front of Noah and their group while riding a Horse.
He asked them with a cold look on his face, "Who are you? What does your group want in the Origin Sect's territory?"
He had an arrogant voice. Noah glared at him and pointed his finger at the scout, "Attack him!"
The scout was shocked to hear Noah's command. Just what was this little kid saying? Did he truly understand the consequences of this command?
Noah's subordinates were immediately on the move as they charged forwards to attack this scout.
Meanwhile, Laura's subordinates remained on their spots while pointing their arrows at the scout.
They would fire those arrows if the scout tried to resist slightly.
The scout didn't even realize when he was captured by Noah and Laura's groups.
He was tied with strong Anti-Ardor Ropes.
Noah then stared at the scout and asked him, "Tell us everything you know about this Origin Sect's branch. Its entrance, its weak points.."
The scout replied righteously, "I won't betray my sect…."
Noah stared at him for a few seconds and could see that this was a lie.
He immediately released a few Sword Qi and tore his muscles internally.
The scout suddenly experienced excruciating pain, and he shouted out, "Wait… No more… I was just kidding. I will say everything!"
Only then did Noah stop using his Sword Qi to torture him.
Laura glanced at her subordinates and said, "Question him and write his answers."
Soon, they began to question this scout and received all the answers they required.
According to this scout, up ahead, there was a barrier and killing formation.
If they entered the killing formation, it would be impossible to break out of it unless they were as strong as a peak 4 Star Warrior.
Thus, once the killing formation was active, the warriors needed to attack the barrier from outside and inside. Only then could they break the formation.
The ones who lived near the main entrance were all outer sect disciples. Their groups might need to face a few hundred outer sect disciples of the Origin Sect.
The scout was quite shocked to see that this group was still determined to attack the Origin Sect's branch in Veninza Town even after hearing just how outnumbered they were.
In reality, Azaroth had already informed Noah and Laura about this number. So it didn't really shock them greatly.
Their subordinates were apprehensive and slightly thrilled after learning that they would be fighting against hundreds of warriors.
Their progress under Noah and Laura hadn't been small. And in this one week, they had learned to keep their composure during a fight.
Learning to maintain their composure was quite crucial. Only by maintaining their composure could they utilize their true ability in a fight.
This one week of battling each other's group had led to abundant results.
Meanwhile, the leaders in this Origin Sect Branch were quite unhappy as they felt their scout's energy signature weaken. This meant that this unknown group had attacked their scout.
They were somewhat angry as they felt the unknown group move forward. This group wasn't giving any face to the Origin Sect.
They prepared their formations to intercept Noah and Laura's groups.
In fact, one leader had a clever idea in his mind.
He shared the idea with his other comrades, "Let's send the outer sect disciples to test this group. We can use these groups to kill a few weaklings, enhance the combat experience of the disciples, and we can even judge the opponent's power."
This suggestion was quite good and was accepted by the majority of the leaders.
