And yet, Lanny's suspicious movements caught Austin's attention at once. Austin snorted in contempt noting Lanny's intention of running away.
"Violet, come out and free me from fighting these men. Lanny is scheming to run away. I can't stop him while these men are keeping me busy. You take care of these men. I will go deal with Lanny," Austin said.
Austin transmitted his message to Violet through his mind.
Instantly, a flash of green light shot through the gate and entered the front yard of the Li Clan's mansion. Gradually, the light fell slowly on the ground and turned into a beautiful, sweet girl in a soft silken green dress. The men of the Li Clan became distracted by the sudden appearance of the girl. But the girl, undeterred and started to take down a few of them. Unlike Mindy, whose fighting pattern was swift and silent, the girl used the tactic of moving seductively and diverting their attention from the fight in order to kill them without any resistance.
This girl too, was an Earth Realm fighter.
Lanny was completely taken aback by this new threat.
As if Austin and Mindy weren't already too much for him to defeat, now they had added new blood to their strengths? And again, the new girl sapped her strength from the Earth Realm. Winning was certainly the last thing on Lanny's mind.
Lanny realized that it would do him no good if he stayed. Now he hurried to get out of there, trying to preserve the effective strength in his clan. Fight of today was doomed to fail and it would be a miracle if all of them got out of this disaster unscathed. Although other than the men who were engaged in combat, Lanny commanded a high-powered backup team. He had trained them for years and planned to use them in case of a situation like this. He would never reveal this team if not for something really critical. He thought he ought to keep himself from harm's way before this team finally revealed itself.
Plus, he had sent a message to the Black Mountain Fortress before Austin and Mindy's arrival. So the Black Mountain Fortress's men should arrive any minute. The head of the Black Mountain Fortress was known to have a cultivation base of the Earth Realm, and on top of that, all his men were cruel, merciless and afraid of nothing. Stringing together these advantages, Lanny knew that the fortress men were far superior to his clan's.
'If I gather all these strengths, I might be able to defeat these three Earth Realm fighters, ' he pondered for a second.
Not the kind of person not to weigh his pros and cons, Lanny thought that it was best to escape from a battle whose outcome was uncertain than risk all that he had got.
At the time when the girl in green appeared, Mindy was still occupied by the fight with a couple of the Li Clan men. Unintentionally, Mindy glanced back and saw a flash of green light.
'Who is that girl?' she wondered. 'Her face is vaguely familiar, ' thought Mindy but then she could not tell where exactly she had seen her. 'How did she just appear out of nowhere and is helping us deal with these men? Is she a friend of Austin's? By the scene of it, I guess she is," she speculated.
And then, a memory came alive in Mindy's mind.
Concentrating hard to remember all its details, Mindy almost cried out in wonder.
