"Go, this is our last chance. Don't let her get into that cave!"
the general roared. His eyes were bloodshot and he gripped his saber tightly with both hands.
"General, the Reincarnation Emperor just sent us a message. He has ordered us to retreat,"
one of the cultivators said, his voice trembling with despair.
"What?!" The general widened his eyes in disbelief.
"I swear it's true," the cultivator said.
When they set out, the Reincarnation Emperor had planted a special communicating method on this cultivator in the event that he would not reach them in time with his god's sense.
"Damn it!"
The general trembled with fury. They had risked their lives to complete the mission and they were about to reach their goal, but they were now being called to retreat. It was unacceptable!
The worst part was that all of them would die anyways. Once their souls burned down, that was it. They were gone. Retreating would not make any difference.
"Go and kill them!" the general roared, his eyes burning red.
"We can't do that, general. Lord Yama has found out that we're here. The Reincarnation Emperor will be in huge trouble if we don't retreat!"
"Ha! I don't care. I will be dead soon. There's no need to be afraid of Yama! We have come to this situation all because of this brat. If it were not for him, we would not be in such a precarious situation! We must kill him before we die!"
"As you wish, general! Kill him!" one of the cultivators shouted.
With the voice of one, the rest seemed to follow suit. They all rushed toward Jenifer with renewed vigor.
Jenifer struggled to resist the attacks. Even though she was attacked thousands of times, she did not leave the Rule Soul Avatar's side.
Fizz!
A spear pierced her belly. She winced as the blade tore through her flesh, and bright, red blood began to trickle down her abdomen.
"I've never seen a woman as stupid and stubborn as you!"
"We won't kill you if you leave him!"
Jenifer's loyalty was touching. The cultivators were almost sorry to see her in so much pain.
She had been beaten black and blue, yet her eyes still held the ferocity of a tiger.
"No, I won't," Jenifer said, gritting her teeth. Her voice was firm and unwavering.
"What a wretched woman!"
"Your stubbornness will be the cause of your demise. Prepare to die!"
They did not have much time left. They exerted all of their power and put out their fiercest attacks.
Tremendous god's power along with various deadly weapons all rushed toward Jenifer.
Jenifer could feel death approach her. She immediately thought of the very first time she had ever laid eyes on the Rule Soul Avatar several hundred years ago.
Boom!
Suddenly, a thin flash of lightning appeared out of nowhere.
It fell in slow motion and flashed past the remaining cultivators.
The air began to smell like smoke.
All of the remaining cultivators had burned into ashes.
Unfortunately, Jenifer did not see what had happened. She was lying on the ground, having succumbed to her injuries.
The whole world suddenly quieted down.
The Rule Soul Avatar held Jenifer in his arms, his eyes brimming with pain and anguish.
He gathered his power and let out a stream of Resurrection Force. It went inside Jenifer's body and immediately, her wounds began to heal.
"Darren, come back with me now."
The Reincarnation Emperor suddenly showed up just a few steps away from him.
The Rule Soul Avatar's eyes narrowed, and an unparalleled killing intent spread out from him.
