Four!
In an instant, the Mad Blade Martial Arts School and Lin Family's side had four experts at the Core Formation Stage level.
Lei Bao was stunned.
Even Gu Ying, who had been wearing an arrogant expression and looking down on everyone moments ago, was stunned as well.
Two-Seal Symbol Masters!
Were they so common now? How could two Two-Seal Symbol Masters appear in a tiny place like Qingyang Town at the same time?
One had to know that even in Flame City, Two-Seal Symbol Masters were rare and treated as honored guests by any faction.
"Gentlemen, this may be a misunderstanding. I will not involve myself in the Lei Family's affairs any further." Gu Ying cupped his hands toward Wu Yun and Lin Dong, intending to withdraw.
"Master Gu, how can you leave at a time like this?"
Lei Bao froze, then questioned him.
He had promised to give Gu Ying the Yang Yuan Stone Mine after the matter was settled.
Leave? At a time like this, I should be running... Gu Ying paid Lei Bao no attention. "This situation is completely different from what was said before. I, Gu Ying, will not take this risk."
They had agreed that there would be at most one Core Formation Stage expert before, but now four had appeared all at once.
There was no way this could succeed.
"Gu Ying, you betrayed me!" Lei Bao roared in fury.
Wu Yun said, "Enough. Master Gu, you are overthinking this. You are too naive. You have already stepped into these muddy waters, yet you still want to get away unscathed?"
"Hehe, brat, do you know that I am the deputy sect master of the Blood Garment Sect? You dare kill me!"
Gu Ying spoke disdainfully. Their sect master was an expert at the Minor Completion Core Formation Stage.
Heh! Wu Yun did not waste another word. With a sweep of both hands, seven Thunder Flame Swords shot forth, turning into seven dark-red streaks as they flew straight at Gu Ying.
"You little bastard, you dare!"
Gu Ying was greatly alarmed. He panicked!
In an instant, he condensed a Mental Force barrier to block the Thunder Flame Swords.
"You think you can stop them?"
Wu Yun sneered.
He continuously controlled the swords with Mental Force, launching a frenzied assault on Gu Ying's mental barrier. Runes lit up on the Thunder Flame Swords, erupting with lightning and fire. Powerful lightning-flame sword qi battered the barrier, distorting the air. Inch by inch, the Thunder Flame Swords advanced before Gu Ying. At one moment, a sword pierced right up to his face.
"Spirit Transformation Needle!"
Gu Ying shouted. His Mental Force instantly condensed into a needle to block the Thunder Flame Sword.
The Essence-tier Mental Secret Technique, Spirit Transformation Needle, was his ultimate skill.
Sweat poured down his face. Wu Yun's attack was fierce—he truly intended to kill him and had no fear of the Blood Garment Sect.
"Kill them! Today, erase the Lei and Xie Families from existence!"
Luo Cheng drew his broadsword and charged at Lei Bao.
A fierce melee broke out in the compound.
"Big Brother, I'll help you!"
"Shattered Yuan Shuttle."
Lin Dong flung out ten streaks of black light, attacking Gu Ying from behind.
The two attacked from front and rear.
Gu Ying found it difficult to cope.
He was already struggling against one of them, let alone two.
Before long, he summoned his Natal Talisman Seal to defend himself.
"Be more careful in your next life. Don't just take any job."
Wu Yun also summoned his Natal Spirit Talisman. At that moment, a powerful suction force emerged from it, directly Devouring one of Gu Ying's Natal Talisman Seals beyond his control.
The other one was Devoured by Lin Dong as well.
"You... you have Natal Spirit Talismans!"
Gu Ying was horrified. He finally understood why he had been suppressed so thoroughly.
Only now did he understand why they were not afraid of the Blood Garment Sect.
Two Two-Seal Symbol Masters possessing Natal Spirit Talismans indeed had the right to look down on the Blood Garment Sect.
In the original story, Lin Dong had killed Gu Ying with merely the strength of a One-Seal Talismancer.
It was clear just how powerful they were now.
How had the Lei Family provoked enemies like this... Gu Ying was utterly baffled. He felt terribly unlucky.
However, there was no medicine for regret in this world.
Whoosh!
Wu Yun showed no mercy, ending his life with a single sword strike.
Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian's battle against Lei Bao also ended soon afterward.
"Tong'er, take your men and seize all the properties of the Lei and Xie Families."
"From this day onward, Qingyang Town will have only the Mad Blade Martial Arts School and the Lin Family!"
"Now that Gu Ying is dead, the Blood Garment Sect will definitely retaliate. We must be prepared."
"Wei Tong, the Blood Garment Sect's sect master, is at the Minor Completion Core Formation Stage. Yun'er, are you truly confident you can deal with him?"
"Rest assured, Foster Father. If Wei Tong truly dares to come, leave him to Lin Dong and me."
"Good. Then you and Lin Dong should cultivate diligently during this time."
"These are the Yang Yuan Pills and Yang Yuan Stones obtained from the Lei Family, Xie Family, and Gu Ying. I am giving eighty percent of them to you for cultivation."
Wu Yun did not stand on ceremony. He accepted the Cosmic Bag and went to find Lin Dong to cultivate.
The Blood Garment Sect was a notable force even in Flame City. Their impending attack on the Mad Blade Martial Arts School and the Lin Family placed immense pressure on Luo Cheng and Lin Zhentian.
Wu Yun's top priority was to increase his strength and improve his odds against Wei Tong.
"These are the Elixir Pills Foster Father gave us. There are over ten thousand Yang Yuan Stones. Refine the Yang Yuan Stones into pills." As soon as he saw Lin Dong, Wu Yun tossed the Cosmic Bag to him.
Once the pills had been refined, Wu Yun fed them to Bai Yun.
After swallowing a large number of Yang Yuan Pills, Bai Yun fell into slumber. She seemed to possess a special cultivation method. Every time she slept, it was like nirvana; once she awakened, her strength would increase drastically.
"Wei Tong is a Minor Completion Core Formation Stage expert. We cannot engage him in close combat. With the sheer abundance of his Primal Force, he could easily injure us severely."
"Therefore, we need to fly by controlling our weapons and focus on long-range attacks!"
"For now, we should concentrate on practicing weapon flight."
"Besides, his Pure Yuan Protective Qi will surely be even harder to break. If we want to kill him, my Thunder Flame Swords, your Shattered Yuan Shuttles, and even the Spirit Transformation Needle we just obtained from Gu Ying will likely find it difficult to pierce his defenses."
"I have a treasure here specifically meant to counter this kind of protective qi. Take a look."
Wu Yun took out several small golden spheres and handed them to Lin Dong.
"Big Brother, what are these?"
"Watch and learn from me!"
Wu Yun demonstrated how to use the Dragon Whisker Needle.
Lin Dong followed along and quickly discovered its secrets.
He said excitedly, "Big Brother, this needle is no joke!"
Three days later, as the Mad Blade Martial Arts School, the Lin Family, and their people waited anxiously, a large force charged from Flame City toward Qingyang Town.
They carried a blood-red banner! This group was imposing, and none of them were weak. They went straight to Ironwood Manor and surrounded its entrance.
"Who killed the deputy sect master of our Blood Garment Sect? Hand over the murderer, or we will bathe Ironwood Manor in blood."
One of the lackeys stepped out to deliver the message.
Everyone who had been at the Lei Family Compound that day was dead. They still did not know how Gu Ying had died or who had killed him.
They only knew that Gu Ying had gone to help the Lei Family, and the Lei Family had been destroyed by the Mad Blade Martial Arts School!
"Sect Master Wei, have you come to avenge Gu Ying?" Luo Cheng shouted from atop Ironwood Manor's gates.
"You killed Gu Ying?" Wei Tong narrowed his eyes into slits as he carefully examined Luo Cheng.
"No, my son killed him. But I wanted to kill him too, so you may as well consider it my doing."
Luo Cheng replied calmly.
"You will pay for those words. Charge in and kill every last one of them!" Wei Tong ordered.
They dared provoke the Blood Garment Sect? They were tired of living!
A mere Qingyang Town had actually cost him one of his great generals.
Wei Tong's hatred ran deep.
At that moment, two figures flew out above the manor gates. They hovered in the air, flying by controlling their weapons.
Wu Yun said, "Hehe, Sect Master Wei, you may be used to throwing your weight around in Flame City, but unfortunately, this is Qingyang Town. Whether you are a dragon or a tiger, you will have to lie low here."
