» Smoke would expel from Xylo's lips, allowing a grey cloud to simmer affront him. Continuing to analyse the situation, it wouldn't take long for the bounty hunters to begin their assault. It was here where he gazed upon the person they would be attempting to save, this of course, was LA Richards. Whilst they had bluntened Bernard's bite, they still had an army of bounty hunters, each with unique fighting styles which would prove difficult for their completion of saving Richards. His train of thought would be momenarily interrupted by the sound of rapid footsteps directly behind him. His head would turn right using his peripherals to locate the charging bounty hunters I the right if his view, and Bernard to his left, noticing the fact that Bernard had rid himself of his leg and begun his assault once again by throwing his short sword.
Imminent danger was present as the thrown blade made its way toward Xylo's torso whilst he was being chased from behind by a bounty hunter.
"What a careless pincer strategy...." Xylo murmured as his smile widened thus consuming his face. Whilst Bernard had thrown his sword utilising his immense strength, Xylo had more time to react compared to his last encounter with Bernard, so as the bounty hunter reached him and threw a flying right hook, Xylo would thrust his legs off the ground, once again somersaulting his body into the air until being completely upside down above the bounty hunter. Xylo's left arm would grasp the shoulder of the bounty hunter, vaguely unbalancing the man, but just enough to hold him for the flying blade to tear through him, blood would splash across Xylo's face as the sword split the man in half, ending his life in a mere instant.
A chuckle would sound from Xylo as he landed between two halves of the dead bounty hunter, but his short victory would come to a halt, as an arrow would pierce his right hip, which previously that day had been shot thus causing an immense pain to shoot through his body. However adrenaline would keep his mind focussed on the task at hand, as his crimson gaze panned at a bowman and two martial artists, who began their charge against Xylo.
Why the fuck is the bowman charging.... Xylo thought as he watched the bow draw out a single arrow like sword which he would charge behind the two martial artists. However disarming and countering was Xylo's specialty.
"Udumbara." Xylo murmured as he took his stance to counter his foes attacks, and thus he did as they threw simultaneous kicks in unison which would be intercepted by a weaving, double, open handed strike to their knees which would send their bodies backward toward the sprinting bowman. Setting them all unbalanced Xylo would swiftly sprint to them unleashing silencing open handed strikes to their jaws which would knock each of them out with a single hit. If it weren't for his timing and precision, his assault wouldn't have been effective in the slightest.
However it would seem the battle had simply just begun as the hordes of bounty hunters would emerge upon Zeke and Xylo. Unaware of what Zekes injuries were, Xlo would be reminded of his own as the throbbing sensation of pain would consume his entire right side allowing a trail of blood to glide down his skin.
It was there where four sets of foot steps would sound from his right. All armed with swords which would seem especially difficult for Xylo to deal with. A bead of sweat would trip from his temple as he began to grow wary of the situation. It was clear they needed to deal with Bernard otherwise this fight would never end. In a swift moment of fear Xylo would erupt.
"Zeke! Let's finish him. You follow!" Ignoring the horde to his right in hope of his ally taking care of them, Xylo would begin his sprint toward Bernard with only 10m separating the two. His legs would begin to tire, however his speed was still kept in check as he began he closed the distance between Bernard and himself in just a few seconds, however The blade Bernard had previously thrown would spin back into his hand. Thus once again being dual equipped, he would draw both swords to his sides before jerking them forward creating a scissor like motion affront Xylo.
"Finish him."Xylo whispered as he was in range of Bernard's scissor attack. However Xylo was prepared for the actions of his foe.
"Silent blossom." his legs would thrust backward, unleashing and launching body at his 6 in hope of dodging the blades, however he had just managed to escape the attack, as the blades missed his neck by an inch. But now Bernard was left wide open as his force of the blades had disallowed him to take any defensive action.
"Fuck him up Zeke." Was murmured by Xylo as his body fell backward onto the ground.
