Novel Bin Chapter 324 - Plan
"We almost got him. Dammit." Soulstice couldn\'t help but curse under his breath. They almost killed the monk if not for the interference with another immortal progenitor.
"That\'s true. But this is within my expectations. After all, the other clouds will not just watch while their comrade was about to be killed." Compared to Soulstice, Fireland was much calmer and composed, "Besides, it\'s already a great thing that we injured him this grave. If he doesn\'t have medical treatment for an hour or two, he will just die naturally. To top it all, the pillars have been deactivated so we can move freely now."
The last sentence of Fireland was what brought them all relief. The pillars were frightening that all of them didn\'t dare to venture out to risk their lives. Now that it stopped, they could finally slowly get the advantage in this battle.
"But the other clouds won\'t let that him die." Soulstice said.
"That\'s for sure." Fireland laughed, "The Second Cloud is an immortal progenitor, a force that the Black Cloud won\'t be willing to give up on."
"Then what should we do now?" Soulstice knew that the same method won\'t work. And out of the four progenitors right now, Fireland was considered the brain of their group.
"It depends on the movements of the enemies." Fireland seriously said, "Furthermore, for now, all we can do is to defend. I know that the enemies will be much more cautious now because we managed to injure their progenitor at the immortal level."
There was still a serious note that Fireland didn\'t say. And that\'s he was almost exhausted. The last torrential waves of fire costed him so much qi that even breathing and standing was taking a toll. But Fireland couldn\'t bring himself to say this. If he did, the moral of the group would surely decrease. After all, he was the strongest of the group right now.
On the other side of the battlefield, the monk was breathing heavily and trying to chase his breath. He puked blood a couple of times now and all of it was bad blood.
"Those devil incarnate..." The Second Monk wanted to curse but he didn\'t have the energy to do so, "I\'m going to kill them once I recovered my strength!"
"Focus on healing yourself, Second Cloud." The Fourth Cloud, the one who was best in medicine, said, "Your injuries are severe and if you aren\'t treated as soon as possible, you might die. Those myriad progenitors have really done you this time."
"It\'s because he let himself driven mad by his emotions." The First Cloud sneered, "If you didn\'t act like a beast a while ago and held on to your sanity, things won\'t be delayed this much."
"But they damaged my treasure! You should know that statue is my prized artifact of all." The Second Cloud reasoned out.
"True, it\'s your prized treasure the most. But it is also true that you are the reason why it was damaged. Remember, I told you to be always on high alert yet what did you do? You relaxed, resulting to fail to sense the incoming attack." First Cloud rebutted, "You can\'t blame anyone but yourself here. After all, the enemies will surely take the opportunity if it presents itself and it is the same going with us."
The monk was speechless. That\'s right, what First Cloud said was all right. If not for his carelessness, would those low level progenitors have the chance to attack? He was too complacent when he activated the Rain of Enlightment a while ago. Thus, this was the result.
Truly speaking, he was the only to be blame for this. Not to mention that, he also made things delay for an hour.
The monk didn\'t say anything else and just focused on recovering his health with the help of the Fourth Cloud. He had a vital role here in this mission, thus he needed to recuperate fast.
"So what\'s the plan?" The Third Cloud asked, "I\'m getting too bored here. How about I slash some necks out there first?"
"And you\'ll be gravely injured too like Second Cloud?" First Cloud smiled, teasing the pervert.
"Oh, please. I am not careless like that monk over there." The Third Cloud rolled his eyes and said, "I just want to test their strength since they managed to injure the monk heavily."
"Alright, you know what you\'re supposed to do and not." The First Cloud agreed, "Very well, you have my permission. Kill as many as you can while I\'m protecting these lads here."
First Cloud knew that they couldn\'t just wait here as she knew that the enemies wouldn\'t wait either. She had no choice but to send another immortal progenitor to the battlefield to buy time for recuperation of the Second Cloud.

"The Third Cloud is coming." Fireland creased his brows and said, "It seems that the leader decided to dispatch another immortal progenitor here."
"Can we take him up?" Soulstice asked. Another immortal progenitor appeared and he knew that this would be very tough.
"No. This guy is stronger than the monk." Fireland shook his head and said, "You all will focus on defending and fending the attacks of the enemy."
"What about you?" Soulstice asked.
"I\'ll take him head on." Fireland said.
"That\'s nuts! You aren\'t his match even you use all your fire inside your body!" Yellowstone finally spoke, "This is an immortal progenitor we\'re speaking of."
"I know. But it can buy us time. That\'s a good thing, isn\'t it?" Fireland smiled and said firmly, "This is an order. Soulstice and others will stay here to manage the barrier while I fight with the Third Cloud."
After saying this, he went off and stood opposite of the enemy without waiting for his comrades\' response.
"Oh, you are that guy who injured our monk. What are you doing here?" Third Cloud asked and smirked, "Don\'t tell me you\'re going to fight me alone?"
"Indeed, Fellow Daoist." Fireland smiled and answered, "I am going to fight you alone."
