Condemning the Heavens

They had spent a month observing the military base, and now they had succeeded in understanding the patrol patterns, and the various ways of avoiding them in the fastest and most efficient manner .

"Go!" He whispered, and his friends all jumped down from the branches, landing right in front of the unsuspecting patrol .

Glaring lights flashed in the middle of the forest as they bombarded the soldiers with their attacks, and before they had the chance to return even the slightest move, the entire patrol had been wiped out .

Xue Wei jumped down from the branch and began taking the storage treasures from the corpses before he ignited a flame and burnt them to ashes .

Their attack had been entirely under control, and while the flashing lights could be seen in the surroundings, no marks were left on the ground or the trees, making it so that no one could notice that a battle had taken place .

"Hide again," Xue Wei ordered, and all of them returned to the tree crowns, ready to hide and wait for the next patrol to come by .

The group displayed no excitement on their faces, but their hearts were burning with bloodlust . They had spent a long time preparing for the strike, and now that the time had come, they could not help but feel the anticipation .

There was a tremendous battle on the way, and the excitement that they felt was boosting their strength, and although their faces were calm, their blood was rushing through their veins, and their hearts were beating rapidly .

The next group of people that they fought against was as unsuspecting as the first, and they quickly fell to the ground, their lives forfeited .

Once again, Xue Wei gathered all the storage treasures, and afterward, he burned the corpses again . The flame was so intense that it managed to incinerate the corpses so swiftly, that not even the scent of burnt flesh remained in the surroundings .

Xue Wei glanced around, but he found no traces of others coming towards them, so he gestured for his friends to return to the tree crowns .

According to their expectations, they should manage to kill three or four patrols before someone noticed that there was something wrong, and up until now, they had only gotten two, so things were still going according to plan .

The group also managed to kill the third group with no problems, but as they got closer and closer to the arrival of the fourth group, their senses heightened, their bodies were full of surging blood, and the adrenaline was rushing through their veins .

This was the make it or break it point in their plan . If they managed to kill the fourth patrol quickly, they would be fine, but if the fourth patrol was alerted to their presence, they would be fighting an uphill battle .

All of them held their breath as the fourth group came towards them . Xue Wei gestured for Luoluo to go and scour the surrounding area to see if there was someone waiting in ambush .

When the groups found out that the patrols were not returning, they would definitely send someone to follow a patrol in an attempt at luring out the prey and make the hunter become the hunted, but if they were still unaware, then Xue Wei and his friends would be a step closer to their goal .

Although they could easily just let the group pass and not act, causing the patrol team to be safe, they could not allow a liability to run through their hands . In case they noticed something, then their entire plan would fall flat .

Luoluo returned after a short while and shook her head . She was the one who had the strongest spiritual energy in the entire group, and she had spread it over the whole part of the forest without noticing even the slightest movement of other people .

The patrol should be alone, or their protector was above the Saint rank .

No matter which one of the options it was, it played according to their expectations . Xue Wei wanted to fight against the King ranked expert that was in control of the army camp, but he also knew that he could not just enter the base and fight against him . He had to lure him out from the protection of the big walls, and the many soldiers surrounding him .

This was what they were doing now . Every soldier that exited the camp was going to slowly vanish without even a trace being found, making it so that the expert had no other option than to leave the safety of the encampment and search for the killers .

Although he could move with the soldiers of his base, it was impossible to move an entire army to search for Xue Wei and his friends, as their group was small and mobile, allowing them to avoid a whole army .

This was the plan that Xue Wei had come up with alongside his friends, and all of them were excited .

During this point in time, the people from the fourth patrol group had arrived, and Xue Wei gestured for the others to be careful . They all solemnly nodded their heads, and soon they jumped down from the trees, the lights flashing from their attacks were already appearing as they fell . The first person of the patrol raised his head, only to be greeted by a spiritual energy sword, that cleaved him in half .

The others also realized that they were under attack, but they did not even manage to scream out for help before they had been killed . None of them had a complete corpse .
