Chapter 52: The Fierce Battle at Moon Star Lake (Part 2)

  Luo Siqi quickly regained consciousness and hastily grabbed her sword, calling Lian Bi to lead the way in front, and hurriedly rushed towards the altar.

  There is a small lake on the top of Lin Yuefeng, called Moon Star Lake. It may be because it took one character from the names of Cold Moon and Morning Star. Due to the low terrain, the rainwater flowing down from the high place gradually gathered into this small lake, and Moon Star Lake also has a waterway that flows the stored water in the lake to the foot of the mountain.

  The Moon God Temple built a high altar in the center of this small lake, and as usual, every full moon day, the Grand Priestess Chen Xing would sit on the altar with her eyes closed, using the moonlight to practice for two hours. Only on August 15th of each year would she sit upright for an entire night.

  In order to obtain the Ling Xian Grass, he has not practiced on the altar of Moon Star Lake for two months. Because the power of the law is very large during practice, the practitioner will avoid being disturbed and go crazy, so there are always four powerful moon maidens guarding the dead angle of the altar to prevent accidents. When the Sect Master Han Yue doesn't have urgent matters, he will also guard by the lake. Generally, small things will be put down first, and leave after Chen Xing finishes his practice.

  Today, the special envoy of King Chu brought news that Han Yue couldn't wait for. Moreover, Lin Yuefeng had always been heavily guarded since the establishment of the Moon God Sect, and no one had ever disturbed the High Priest Chen Xing. So Han Yue didn't persist and ran to Luosi Qi to tell her the very important good news, then put all his energy into communicating with King Chu's envoy.

  Despite this, Han Yue still specially sent four powerful Moon Maidens to guard the lake shore. These Moon Maidens were all personally trained by her, and although their martial arts skills were not as good as hers, adding them to the four Moon Maidens on the altar made it a foolproof plan.

  Luosiqi has personally witnessed how difficult it is to guarantee that nothing will go wrong.

  When she arrived at the lake, there were already corpses lying all over the lakeside. Fortunately, Han Yue had thought ahead and set up a copper container filled with a strange plant juice on the altar, which could be ignited with a torch in case of an emergency, and the blue flame it produced would be visible from all over Lingshan Peak.

  Luosi didn't notice the light coming from the altar because she was talking to Hansheng and then lowered her head in thought. Fortunately, the crowd on Lin Yuefeng saw it, the guards on the mountain saw it, they all rushed towards the altar, but were constantly attacked by the invaders' poisonous hands.

  Due to the continuous expansion of power, Tsukihime's Rinmei-peak is in a period with relatively weak defensive capabilities.

  Thirty Moon Maidens, apart from the eight at the altar, only ten were left on the peak. Among these ten, four were guarding the various paths leading to the summit, and the remaining six were not even on duty, let alone taking a shift rest. When they saw the blue flames ignite, it was already very late.

  So it was still those ordinary guards with average martial arts skills who arrived first and suffered casualties first. When Luo Siqi arrived, the first thing she saw were their corpses.

  Thanks to the moonlight and the blue flames, everything from the lake shore to the altar was clearly visible.

  Han Yue had already engaged in combat with two black-clad enemies, but since their faces were covered, Luosi couldn't see what they looked like. What shocked Luosi was that the dead or injured people were all from the Moon God Cult. There were only four attackers, with two of them entangled with Han Yue, and the remaining two launching a full-on assault on Chen Xing on the altar.

  The high priest, Chen Xing, was still sitting there, with two heavily injured moon maidens lying beside him. The remaining six moon maidens were fighting around the altar with two other enemies, their combined strength should not be weaker than the invading enemy, but because they had to take care of Chen Xing who was currently unable to resist, it gradually became more and more difficult for them.

  After Han Yue's arrival, those ordinary guards were all stationed by the lake to keep watch and cheer, which was also Han Yue's order, because she knew that with their skills, they would only be a hindrance if they went again, and would instead give the enemy some opportunities to break through.

  Luosi's arrival caused the guards by the lake to cheer, and Han Yue didn't forget to anxiously call out to her to quickly go protect Chen Xing while he was entangled in battle with two enemies.

  This was the first time Rosy saw Han Yue demonstrate her martial arts skills in front of her. She was like a exceptionally agile swallow, floating and light, blocking her two enemies who tried to launch a joint attack on her several times but were cleverly resolved by her, maintaining a one-on-one fight with one of them while making the other unable to extricate himself.

  It's not just Han Yue's skills, but also the martial arts and movements displayed by the black-clothed man who fought with Han Yue, which broadened Luosiqi's horizons. She knew that with her current strength, she couldn't even dodge their attacks, let alone land a hit on them.

  However, she is not discouraged. Although her current martial arts and physical skills are very poor, she has the ability to attack from a distance. She is confident that with her newly acquired control over magic, even if she can't defeat the enemy, she can still make them tired of responding, relieving the pressure on the Tsukihimes.

  The two black-clad men attacking the Morning Star around the altar intensified their offensive as they saw her approach, seemingly informed by the cheers of the Moon Goddess cult followers that Rosalie was a formidable figure. One of the enemies even took a slap from one of the Moon Maidens and broke through the defensive circle!

  At this time, Luosiqi was a little flustered, and she even didn't know how to fly from the lake surface to the altar!

  In fact, the Moon God Sect, whether it's the sect leader or the followers, their martial arts skills have not reached the level of being able to walk on water as if it were flat land. On the small lake shore leading to the altar in all directions, there are some copper stakes that are slightly submerged in the water. Whether it's people from the Moon God Sect or invading enemies, they all step on these copper stakes to rush towards the altar.

  Now Luosi Qi doesn't even have such skills, and when she was at a loss, the black-clothed man who had been hit by Yuexi's palm had already pressed his right palm towards Chenxing's temple!

  As Lusky let out a low cry, she saw Chen Xing suddenly open his eyes and raise his right arm to meet the black-clad man's palm.

  Almost at the same time, another Moon Maiden slapped a palm heavily on the back of that black-clothed man!

  The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood, which stained the white clothes of Chen Xing with plum blossoms. He then fell onto Chen Xing's body and attempted to drag him into the lake beneath the altar.

  Chen Xing's face was as pale as paper, his right hand, which had just clashed with the enemy, was pressed tightly against his chest. Seeing the enemy pounce over, he could only roll to the left to avoid the black-clad man's tackle. The black-clad man lost control and fell into the lake, while Chen Xing struggled to sit up, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood, before falling unconscious on the altar again.

  The people of the Moon God religion all shouted and came, the remaining three enemies saw that they had already succeeded, whistling and shouting, without caring about their companions who had fallen into the lake water, throwing down the enemy and preparing to escape.

  Han Yue unexpectedly did not pursue, but instead stopped the guards from making unnecessary sacrifices. She rushed to the altar, now more concerned about the injury of the Grand Priest Chen Xing.

  The enemy quietly escaped in the direction away from Rosicky, apparently they were very cautious of Rosicky and disappeared quickly without being blocked.

  Tang Xiaxia never showed up from start to finish.
