Heavenly Dao Child

Unduz did not wait any longer no sooner did Ryuu not only spot her but in fact, took off her limbs she knew that she had to run, she used the 'Blood Mist Technique' to run away from there she had felt Ryuu arrive and she knew with her speed Ryuu would catch her immediately and kill her, she had been ordered to spy while being invisible and return safe and sound, yet she had managed to violate Ithrura's words and as such she felt deeply ashamed of her, as such she decided to use that technique to run away and carry such a piece of valuable information on Ryuu back.

'What a monster to force everyone to obey his command, he is extremely dangerous, I have to return and inform my lady about it.', with that thought in mind Unduz bit her tongue drawing blood which she used to activate her technique, a technique that was fuelled by her natal blood, or the blood directly from a very special organ that was known as Dantain, but the technique itself was a forbidden bordering Taboo as it cause the loss of ranks, the more one uses more that person loses their rank, but there was nothing he could do about it as such with a heavy heart she pressed forward.

No sooner did she activated the technique her vision changed black veins appeared over her eyeballs as her vision ended up becoming tunnelled as she shot forward, 'Is that why we are told to face towards the direction we wish to escape towards, my entire body hurts I doubt I will be able to turn easily not to mention I can barely see what is in front of me, but at least I will be able to escape his clutches.'

She somehow managed to enter the gate as she stumbled out of it, her entire body was aching badly as she bit back a curse, 'I lost two whole ranks, I am now a 7th rank Mystic immortal cultivator, this is insane.', she took a deep breath as she flew towards Ithrura's direction.

Ithrura was meditating inside her tent waiting for Unduz to report her back, Chasing Winds had been acting as a courier between the spy within Rain Sword's group and them, she had let out much valuable information, information that saved them from losing any more slaves since the Tenth level, even though out of the ten thousand original they had lost about a couple of thousands due to Rain sword's tactics, they had tried to recapture them but they all were either hiding or have fled to level lower than the fifth as such safe from their influence.

Interacting with Chasing Winds was an interesting experience, an ambitious woman who would do anything to raise her status and power, and when she at first propose the plan Ithrura and Jethrar learned the true extent of her nature, a perfect parasite who would leech on the person to increase her status but the moment some better opportunity arises they would tag along with others living their previous victim high and dry, people they do not like at the slightest, but still decided to humour her the reason Jethrar wanted to test Rain Swords prowess.

As such accordingly they had hatched a plan, they would send cannon fodders to deal with the Manushya lok, they did not have high hopes of them winning but at least hoped they would be able to deal a devastating blow on their enemies morale as well as maybe even injure Rain sword, sending Unduz one of her most trusted associates was not only to keep a check on Chasing Winds and to make sure she suffered an accident but also for her to access the threat that was Rain Sword learn more of his abilities if possible and her being one of the stealthiest subordinates on top of being the most loyal one was the cherry on top of the cake.

"Lady Ithrura, Lady Unduz has returned and she is heavily injured."

She jumped up from her seat as she dashed towards Unduz who was kneeling despite having her legs as well as her arms cut off, seeing her Ithrura grimaced inwardly, 'Damn someone not only cut her limbs off but seared it shut intense heat, now where would I get someone as loyal as her.'

"What has happened Unduz I told you not to engage anyone?"

Unduz somehow managed to prostrate on the ground as she spoke, "A thousand apologies my Lady, but even with my stealth technique Rain sword was able to detect me and cut off my limbs using arrows."

Ithrura tilted her head at that as she mused inwardly, 'Bow? How interesting so he can use sword, spear and now bow.'

Before Unduz could speak Jethrar arrived as he spoke, "What happened Ithrura, what is this commotion about?", as he spoke he saw Unduz's condition a look of understanding passed through his face as he spoke, "Oh it seems that not only your subordinate was injured but those waste of spaces are all gone, so what happened."

Ithrura glared at Jethrar as she spoke, "She is my subordinate and it is my right to question her, not yours."

Only for Jethrar to raise his hand in mock surrender with a smile on his face, Ithrura then looked towards Unduz as she spoke with a sigh, "Please continue."

"My Lady, Rain Sword...."

Unduz's voice suddenly choked as multiple arrays flashed over her body making many especially Jethrar and Ithrura tense before Jethrar shouted out at the top of his lungs, "Get away from he…"

That was the only thing he could say before a titanic explosion rocked the place as intense heat swallowed everyone who was near her within a few miles.

Meanwhile back with Ryuu and True-Spear, True-Spear nodded before his eyes widen slightly as he spoke, "How did you manage to anger them?"

Ryuu gained a mischievous look on his face as he replied to him, "Well it just happened that I hid a group of a particular array within the arrow that I fired, one of them helped me to track her, one helped me to eavesdrop and the last was to explode her."

True-Spear's eyes widen as he spoke, "You are kidding right?", as Ryuu shook his head with a smile on his face making True-Spear let out a tired sigh as he spoke, "You are devious person remind me not to anger you, using someone as living bomb I do not know what to say."

Ryuu could not help but let out a bark of laughter as he spoke, "Well let us hurry, I do not wish to waste time dealing with them.", True-Spear simply nodded at that as the duo made their way towards the second gate.

Back with Jethrar and Ithrura, a large blob of flesh deflated as Jethrar and Ithrura crawled out of it, Ithrura gagged seeing the slime-like substance that seemed to cover her from head to toe.

"That bastard.", Jethrar growled as he looked at the destruction in front of him, a large crater had formed with the surface being turned to glass from the intense heat, he could spot a couple of skeletons and nearly molten armour or weapon lying around them.

Ithrura managed to control herself only for Jethrar to round her up as he spoke, "That bastard booby-trapped your subordinate to kill us, what kind of people are you employing around you but more importantly how could you not detect such trap worthless woman."

Ithrura snarled at him his killing intent at full blast as she spoke, "How dare you? If you are so careful why did you not detect oh great careful and cautious being, I arrived only a few seconds before you so you are as much as fault as I am."

Jethrar took a deep breath to control his anger before he spoke, "Fighting amongst us will get us nowhere so let us access the damage first and then we can plan, but the glaring question is how did he turn one of our own into a living bomb, especially one whom you seem to trust so much."

Ithrura bit her lips as she spoke while looking at the crater, "Who do you think could cause this?"

Jethrar huffed at her question as he replied, "I do not know why but my guts tell me it was Rain Sword, though it can also be someone else entirely."

Ithrura rubbed her temples as she turned around only to freeze as she let out a scream full of anger startling Jethrar as he looked at her cautiously while he spoke, "Is something wrong Ithrura?"

Ithrura snarled at him as she spoke, "Wrong? You want to know what is wrong, that damned blast destroyed the pot which carried my favourite wine, I am going to slaughter their entire group."

Jethrar gulped as he spoke, "Hey sister Ithrura what about our deal with our spy."

"Screw our spy, he or she can go die in a ditch, not because of her games we have lost not only our slaves, and subordinates but my wine as well, I no longer care what a mere soy wants it is high time to deal with those bastards."

Jethrar nodded at that as he spoke, "Fair enough as soon as we have access the damage done we are going to arouse our army and launch an all-out attack, you are right the spy is trying our patience either the Manushya realm surrender or it is wiped out."
