Immediately, the large trees and bushes surrounding the dense forest revealed the figures of numerous martial artists from the Martial Prohibition Hall, with the heads of the four major branches leading the way.
The White Saint Society members immediately panicked. The Corpse Valley members, however, did not seem alarmed, perhaps because they had anticipated this.
Elder Bai then pulled down his hood, revealing unusually pale skin, and a maniacal smile on his face. "I was just feeling like we didn't have enough people, but I didn't expect you all to join us."
"White Bone, you're about to die, yet you still dare to boast. Shang Tianhe, you and I will capture White Bone. Yan Jin, you lead the team to capture everyone from White Saint Society and Corpse Valley. Don't let a single one escape. Li Qianfan, you keep watch around the perimeter and prevent anyone from breaking through." After Liu Changfeng finished speaking, he took the lead and attacked White Bone.
Shang Tianhe had long been unable to hold back. As soon as Liu Changfeng finished speaking, he flashed forward and met Lian White Bone, who was even faster than Liu Changfeng.
The two exchanged blows, channeling their inner energy. Both were Rank 9 Martial Practitioner, but Shang Tianhe remained unmoved while White Bone was forced back five steps before stopping. Clearly, Shang Tianhe's skill was slightly superior.
Then Liu Changfeng's attack arrived, and White Bone immediately stopped fighting back. With a wave of his hand, five people dressed in black jumped out of the bushes beside him, while he himself dodged to the side.
These must be the Corpse Golems made by White Bone. There are as many as five of them, and they are all quite powerful. Four are at the eighth rank, and the other has even reached the ninth rank. No wonder White Bone is not afraid of the people from the Wind City Martial Prohibition Hall.
These Corpse Golems are immune to ordinary elemental attacks; only soul attacks are their nemesis. Immediately, the ninth-rank Corpse Golems faced Liu Changfeng, while the remaining four eighth-rank puppets, along with the White Bone, confronted Shang Tianhe.
The strength of Corpse Golems in life is largely preserved after it is refined, with only a few experiencing a decrease in strength. Some, after being treated with special drugs, can even have their strength further enhanced.
Therefore, Corpse Valley is the biggest scourge among martial artists, which is why the Martial Prohibition Hall Corpse Valley always targeted it. As for the White Saint Society on the field, they were just incidental, and White Saint Society strength was no match for the Martial Prohibition Hall.
You can tell from the way the people from the Martial Prohibition Hall are mainly targeting the people from Corpse Valley. Almost every person from Corpse Valley has one or two Corpse Golems participating in the battle, making the arena a ghastly white mess.
Many members of the Martial Prohibition Hall lacked effective offensive techniques and could only engage the Corpse Golems in direct combat with their weapons. Immediately, the sounds of battle echoed throughout the arena.
Upon seeing the people from the Martial Prohibition Hall, Tang Yilun immediately knew that something was terribly wrong and was preparing to flee. However, upon closer inspection, he saw that all four Rank 9 Martial Practitioner from the Martial Prohibition Hall had arrived, and he realized that escape would be difficult. Meanwhile, their hall master had already run away.
But then he saw that no one took him seriously; they just sent an eighth-rank constable to arrest him. He immediately felt insulted.
Immediately, Tang Yilun channeled his inner energy, leaped forward, and took the lead in running towards the gap in the encirclement.
Just as he reached a large tree and was about to leap up, a gust of energy struck him. Tang Yilun quickly turned around to retaliate, and the two gusts of energy collided with a "bang".
Tang Yilun was blasted towards the tree, then crashed back into it and collapsed to the ground unconscious.
It turned out that it was Li Qianfan who had made the move. "Just a mere eighth-rank, and he thinks he can escape from me? Wouldn't I be blamed to death by Liu Changfeng?" Li Qianfan muttered to himself, and then continued to be on guard.
Upon seeing that their leader and protectors had fled, the remaining Seventh Grade- and sixth-rank inspectors and followers of the White Saint Society immediately panicked and scattered in all directions.
Two eighth-rank detectives from the Martial Prohibition Hall were out hunting down people, ignoring the battles Corpse Valley members and other Martial Prohibition Hall members. Their sole purpose was to capture members of the White Saint Society, indicating that they had a pre-arranged division of labor.
Immediately, one after another, the members of the White Saint Society Sect fell to the ground. The people from the Martial Prohibition Hall didn't care whether they lived or died; they just knocked them unconscious and threw them on the ground. As for whether they would be affected by the aftershocks of the battle, they didn't care.
Soon, all the members of the White Saint Society present were captured. In other words, all the members of the White Saint Society in Wind City, except for Xie Hen who escaped and the guards at the base, were wiped out.
Many members of the White Saint Society were probably beaten to death while unconscious. Perhaps this is a blessing, since being captured and beheaded while conscious would have been far more painful.
The people from Corpse Valley and the people from the Martial Prohibition Hall fought for about a quarter of an hour, and gradually, the people from the Martial Prohibition Hall fell into a disadvantageous position.
It wasn't that they were weaker than the people from Corpse Valley; it was that those Corpse Golems were completely impervious to pain, and they were fast enough that they couldn't be hit or hurt. Most of the people from the Martial Prohibition Hall were in a state of being beaten.
Seeing that he had been fighting the ninth-grade Corpse Golems for so long without being able to defeat it, Liu Changfeng became anxious and shouted, "Li Qianfan, you bastard, why don't you come and help!"
"Haha! Liu Changfeng, you were the one who told me to be on guard, saying that if one of them escaped, I would be held responsible! What? Now you're coming to beg me?"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Li Qianfan arrived at Liu Changfeng's side and slashed at the ninth-grade Corpse Golems with his sword. A sound of metal clashing rang out. "This damn thing is really tough!"
"Stop talking nonsense. You hold him off first. I'm going to help Shang Tianhe. We haven't taken down the White Bone yet. Only after we take down the White Bone will these Corpse Golems be easier to deal with!"
"Alright!" Li Qianfan responded, and then began to fight the Corpse Golems with his swordsmanship.
Liu Changfeng, sword in hand, flashed to the spot where Shang Tianhe was fighting the White Bone. He thrust his sword at the Corpse Golems that were attacking Shang Tianhe asked, "How are you? Are you alright?"
Shang Tianhe laughed heartily, "It's nothing, just a minor injury. Today, we're determined to beat this White Bone to death."
Shang Tianhe's appearance was indeed rather pitiful, his body covered in patches of black and white, his clothes reduced to tattered strips. He was surrounded by White Bone and four eighth-rank Corpse Golems, and Shang Tianhe was unarmed, so he could only fight them head-on.
Seeing the intense fighting in the arena, Jiang Liu watched for a while longer, and noticed that the Martial Prohibition Hall was gradually gaining the upper hand, which was not what he wanted to see. At this moment, torches were scattered all over the ground, and the firelight on the field flickered.
Jiang Liu then unleashed his power, moving with Elusive Shadows, his figure darting about wildly. He unleashed his "One Annihilation by Thought" technique, specifically targeting the Corpse Golems. Because the Corpse Golems possessed weak spiritual power, they were utterly vulnerable to Jiang Liu's "Annihilation by Thought."
Wherever the Jiang Liu, the Corpse Golems fell one after another. Those members of the Martial Prohibition Hall who were fighting against the Corpse Golems thought they had finally defeated those monsters that were impervious to pain and incredibly fast.
Jiang Liu's movements were elusive, and the people on the field couldn't see him clearly at all. They only felt a gust of wind pass by, and the field was filled with swirling energy. Who would have thought that there was someone else making a fuss here?
Jiang Liu moved closer to Li Qianfan's fighting range. Li Qianfan blocked the Corpse Golems's attack with his sword, then turned his head as if sensing something, but saw nothing else suspicious, and continued to focus on fighting.
Jiang Liu was startled by Li Qianfan's actions and quickly shrank into the bushes. He held his breath and retreated, only stopping when he was completely out of Li Qianfan's fighting range.
This also made Jiang Liu realize that entering someone else's combat range is easy to be noticed, unless that person's strength is significantly lower than yours. Since Li Qianfan's strength was a rank higher than Jiang Liu's, it wasn't surprising that he was noticed.
Seeing that the situation was stable, Jiang Liu casually moved and hid in the jungle, waiting for the White Bone to flee. Because there were clearly more people from the Martial Prohibition Hall than from Corpse Valley, the people from Corpse Valley gradually fell one by one.
This advantage continued to grow until only the White Bone and his five Corpse Golems remained on the field. Even Yan Jin joined the battle to besiege the White Bone.
