Stunning Edge

Chapter 99-

Claire sighed helplessly and set down the sword she had been carrying over her shoulder angrily, then burst forth with Dou Qi. In the end, she still cleared the path.

After the endlessly long path was finally cleared, everybody arrived at the cave’s entrance.

Brandishing the sword with a grunt, Claire’s powerful Dou Qi directly expelled away the pile of stones. With a loud bang, all the stones were sent flying. Instantly, light appeared.

Just as light started seeping in, Claire immediately set up a barrier. Next, arrows rained on the barrier, clamoring. They were ambushed at the barrier just as expected.

“Fly, children!” Claire suppressed the resentment in her heart and spit out these two words viciously. Before everybody could understand what they meant, Claire had already chanted a spell, giant golden flames rapidly enlarging into giant fire balls from each hand!

Claire threw it abruptly. Miserable shouts sounded. Sure enough, they saw a few people screaming as they were flew up into the air.

“Those, Claire, those people are sailors.” Summer said weakly.

“Their soul has already been engulfed, the soul inside their body is the person from the Hua clan. Once the Hua clan person’s soul leaves the bodies, the bodies will become undead. Letting the proud soldiers of the empire’s corpses become undead would be their greatest insult,” Camille said softly. He smiled, but his eyes were completely ice cold.

“Yes. Killing them would be the best way to free them.” Jean looked ahead, his gaze resolute as he said these words in a low voice.

Summer fell silent. Among these people, only she was not very familiar with death.

Claire didn’t waste any breath as she brandished the Azure Ripple sword and rushed forward. She used her spiritual power to fiercely attack the soul hidden in the sailors’ bodies.

Li Yuewen sat down leisurely, watching Claire’s performance. The sailors’ bodies were too weak after all. Even if someone took over their body, the strength level would still be the same. Claire could easily finish them off by herself.

Soon, Claire finished. She carried the Azure Ripple sword, her face dark as she walked back. Only then did the people resting stand up.

“The souls of those people are now gone,” Claire said faintly. Shouldn’t the person using the magic be close because they’re controlling bodies?”

“Yes! Quick, to the boat!” Li Yuewen realized, leading them as she ran ahead.

“The person can’t control too many sailors, they must have controlled some while subduing the others, and they wouldn’t have killed everybody because they needs to sail back!” Li Mingyu frowned as he explained, following Li Yuewen closely from behind.

Sure enough, once everybody had rushed back to the boat, the boat was strangely quiet. Inside the boat, they found the captain and sailors all tied up tightly.

After they untied each person, they said in disbelief what they had seen, saying that their comrades who they had been with all the time suddenly went against them. After they tied them up, they went off the boat with weapons.

But Claire didn’t listen to them. Instead, she went directly to the lowest level of the hold of the ship. That was the only place they had never set forth in! Everyone else followed Claire from behind and also descended.

From inside the hold of the ship where wine was stored, there was the audible sound of restrained coughs, very obviously attempted to be suppressed. Claire sneered coldly, kicking the door open. In the dusky room, it was hard to see. Claire casually released a fire ball to illuminate the room and saw young man with pale complexion at the corner, clutching his stomach as he tried to stifle his coughs. The vivid, dark red blood showed that he had suffered heavy injuries.
