Because This Is Our Home

Chu Huaiyuan tried to fight Chu Shaoqiang, which stalled him.

Tian Dasong was held back by He Yuxiu.

The situation of Wenxiu Scholar Guo was extremely bad. His throat had been bitten off by Li Banfeng, and his skill of using A Word Worth a Thousand Gold was about to fail.

Seeing that Scholar Guo was motionless, Tang Blade was about to take his head when an invisible force suddenly separated Li Banfeng and Scholar Guo.

Scholar Guo moved toward Chu Shaoqiang, forcing Li Banfeng to retreat several dozen meters away.

What kind of technique is this?

Scholar Guo used the A Farewell of Ten Thousand Miles?

At the same time, He Yuxiu and others separated from Tian Dasong, and the two sides went from a chaotic melee to each standing on their own side.

This time, Li Banfeng knew what technique it was.

This technique wasn't used by Scholar Guo, but by Chu Shaoqiang.

The Wife had told Li Banfeng that Gongxiu had a Cloud Above Skill " called " War Ceasing Separation and Separate the Enemy," which could quickly separate friend from foe in the midst of a chaotic battle, provided that the enemy's cultivation level was far lower than his.

What's the point of this trick?

It's not very useful for ordinary cultivators, but it's extremely useful for skilled craftsmen.

Repairmen are vulnerable to surprise attacks. Without proper preparation, they are prone to using the wrong tactics and may even be defeated by lower-level cultivators.

The technique of War Ceasing Separation can buy time for repairs.

Some of the magical artifacts and Spiritual Object used by craftsmen may indiscriminately kill War Ceasing Separation can also prevent one's own people from being harmed.

My Wife said that if this technique is used, it proves that the opponent's cultivation level is at least Third Layer Above the Clouds. However, as long as the opponent is not Above the Clouds, this technique can only be used once in a short period of time.

With his mouth full of blood, Li Banfeng looked at Scholar Guo, who was lying on the ground on the verge of death and probably wouldn't recover anytime soon.

He was wrong.

Scholar Guo wrote four characters on his body, "Withered Tree Meets Spring".

His body began to recover slowly, and although the process was slow, progress was visible.

Both of Scholar Guo's eyes were gouged out by Li Banfeng. He wrote the character "eye" above his left eye socket, and a crack appeared from his eyebrow, revealing an eyeball.

If this is delayed any longer, Scholar Guo will soon be able to recover his fighting strength, and all the previous efforts may be in vain.

Li Banfeng wanted to rush forward, but the power of the War Ceasing Separation was still there, and with his cultivation level, he couldn't break through for the time being.

Chu Shaoqiang scanned the crowd and said, "Why are you all doing this? I'm here to find Qiu Luoye, Local Earth God. What does this have to do with you?"

Li Banfeng said, "Today you're looking for Qiu Luoye, which has nothing to do with me. Tomorrow you'll come after me, which has nothing to do with anyone else. In the end, you'll have searched for everyone, and no one will be related to you. In any case, you'll all die at your hands."

"I heard you're from the Inner State. Did they teach you this dirty trick?"

Chu Shaoqiang didn't speak, but Chu Huaiyuan asked, "Dad, did you go to Inner State?"

He Yuxiu glanced at Chu Huaiyuan, then turned to Chu Shaoqiang: "It's you, Chu Shaoqiang, you're not dead, are you?"

Chu Shaoqiang smiled and straightened his coat, "Yu Xiu, you're still so beautiful after all these years."

"Don't you dare try to get close to me. You call me Yu Xiu?" He Yuxiu sneered. "That shouldn't be the case. Although I've never looked down on you, you were still a man of some courage back then. How did you end up going to Inner State to be a dog? And you even went there secretly without telling anyone."

Chu Shaoqiang sighed, "What's wrong with going to Inner State? Does that make you look down on me? I even saw He Haiqin in Inner State. Do you think he went there to be a dog too?"

"You really saw Hai Qin?" He Yuxiu continued, following Chu Shaoqiang's lead, trying to distract him.

Li Banfeng carefully observed Scholar Guo's recovery progress, striving to quickly take him in once the War Ceasing Separation was lifted.

Chu Shaoqiang saw through Li Banfeng's intentions. "You must be Li Qi. Wipe the blood from your mouth; it's too creepy."

He's a cunning person; he doesn't follow the rules, which really startled me.

"You think you can defeat a master with a novice's punches? That's wishful thinking. I can now dispel your technique and let you try again. I want to see if you still have a chance to get close."

As he spoke, Scholar Guo stood up, opened one eye, and looked unsteadily at Li Banfeng.

"Madman! Thug!" Scholar Guo, now able to speak, pointed at Li Banfeng and shouted, "Go ahead and fight me again if you dare!"

Li Banfeng, his face covered in blood, grinned savagely. "You bastard, you know I'm not going to make it through right now, so you just want to vent your anger."

Chu Shaoqiang scanned the crowd and said to Li Banfeng, "These are all your friends and your subordinates. I can tell you clearly that if the fighting continues, none of them will survive."

Li Banfeng said, "Do you think your two subordinates will survive?"

Chu Shaoqiang glanced at Scholar Guo and Tian Dasong: "You mean them? They don't have a clear identity in the Inner State yet. To obtain cultivation levels in the clouds, they need to accumulate more merits. For that, he's willing to die here."

Ask the people around you if they want to die.

These two aren't from Yunshang?

Are they the so-called Tenth Layer cultivators?

These two are indeed Tenth Layer cultivators, Tenth Layer cultivators with flesh and blood, and also the Tenth Layer cultivators closest to the clouds.

To say they were willing to die would be an exaggeration, but this battle was indeed the key to their advancement to the Cloud Realm.

Li Banfeng took a step forward, only to be pushed back by an invisible force.

The technique hadn't worn off yet, Li Banfeng couldn't get past it.

Chu Shaoqiang frowned and said, "Were you even listening to me?"

"No," Li Banfeng answered truthfully.

He didn't listen. From the moment he decided to fight this war, nothing you said to him would make a difference.

Chu Shaoqiang sighed, "Take your men and leave. There are many old acquaintances of mine here, and I don't want to harm them."

My daughter is here too. She came to fight me for you. You're lucky.

Even if you fight to the death here today, you can't save Qiu Luoye. Only I can save him. As long as he agrees to my conditions, he can live. He has no choice.

Li Banfeng was about to force his way in when he suddenly heard someone shout from behind, "Seventh Brother, let's go!"

Qiu Luoye arrived. "Seventh Brother, didn't we agree that I'd handle the fighting? You go now!"

He shielded Li Banfeng behind him and rushed towards Chu Shaoqiang.

Chu Shaoqiang wasn't wrong; as long as the contract remained in Inner State's hands, no one could save Qiu Luoye.

Rather than implicate others, Qiu Luoye preferred to fight Chu Shaoqiang herself.

Despite being seriously injured, Qiu Luoye still managed to break through Chu Shaoqiang's technique.

Chu Shaoqiang dared not be negligent and quickly prepared to fight when suddenly a loud noise came from afar.

Thump!

Drum.

Everyone, including Li Banfeng, felt a jolt in their chest.

What kind of drum makes such a loud sound?

In Pro State, there is only one place where the drumming is so deafening.

Three people present had heard this kind of drumming before: Qiu Luoye, He Yuxiu, and Chu Shaoqiang.

They all knew what the drumbeats meant.

Thump!

Another drumbeat sounded, and deep in the jungle, a group of tall figures could be vaguely seen.

They were not only tall, but also had distinctive features: broad shoulders with three heads on them.

This was the unique drumbeat of the Sinner City. He Yuxiu smiled, Qiu Luoye stopped in her tracks, and Chu Shaoqiang tensed up.

Juanzi walked over, and behind her were four Three-Headed People carrying a newly made large drum. One of the Three-Headed People held a drumstick and struck the drum once every ten steps.

The drum was crudely made, but it made a very loud sound.

In the Sinner City, this drum is only played under two circumstances.

Firstly, it is rung during the New Year, representing the Sinner City's hopes for life.

Secondly, it is rung when people are on the verge of death, representing the Sinner City's struggle for life.

Juanzi said to Li Banfeng, "Seventh Master, we just prepared our weapons, we're late."

Li Banfeng prepared about a hundred weapons for them, but he didn't expect that more than three thousand Three-Headed People, except for the children, all came.

Lacking sufficient weapons, some used kitchen knives, some used hoes, and some even sharpened large trees to serve as spears.

Juanzi turned around, looked at Chu Shaoqiang, and didn't say anything more.

When it comes to war, it's usually the Mengzi who speak up.

Mengzi asked, "Seventh Master, are there just the three of them?"

Li Banfeng nodded.

Chu Shaoqiang was clearly somewhat afraid of these Three-Headed People: "I know you've suffered a lot, and I know you still want to stay here. I promise you, I'll allow you to live here again. There shouldn't be any conflict between us."

Mengzi looked at Chu Shaoqiang and said, "You don't need to say so much. We came here to kill you."

Chu Shaoqiang still wanted to persuade them, and the best way to do so was to sow discord. "I am from Inner State. Do you want to make an enemy of the entire Inner State?"

Mengzi shook his head. "We've never been to Inner State, and we don't know anyone from Inner State. We're only going to kill you."

Chu Shaoqiang smiled. "Kill me? I'm afraid it won't be that easy. At least half of you will die. Is it worth it?"

"Half?" Mengzi glanced at the people behind him. "You're underestimating us. None of us came here intending to leave alive."

Chu Shaoqiang asked, puzzled, "What is the reason for this?"

Mengzi only replied with one sentence, "Because this is our home."

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The drumbeats suddenly intensified.

Tian Dasong was a little scared.

Scholar Guo murmured, "My injuries haven't healed yet..."

When the drumbeats became so dense that they could not be counted, the Three-Headed People began his charge.

More than three thousand Three-Headed People charged towards the three people together.

Scholar Guo tried to get as close to Tian Dasong as possible.

Tian Dasong was waiting for Chu Shaoqiang's tactics.

Chu Shaoqiang shouted, "Retreat!"

Then he ran away first.

Tian Dasong ran after him, and He Yuxiu chased after him.

"Of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!" Scholar Guo also wanted to run away, but he was more cunning and used techniques to escape.

Although he was seriously injured and could not use advanced techniques, he could still successfully perform the A Word Becomes Reality technique.

Scholar Guo moved a distance of about a hundred meters at an extremely fast speed, and then launched the technique again.

"A leaf can block out the view!" He hid in the woods, temporarily escaping everyone's sight.

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, I suddenly heard a clear, melodious voice in my ear.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

This sound was Scholar Guo's nightmare.

Li Banfeng, with his mouth full of blood and a smile on his face, appeared beside Scholar Guo.

Scholar Guo has recovered about 20% of his fighting strength. He also has a life-saving treasure, which is the Folding Fan in his hand. With this Folding Fan, he can still hold his own against Li Banfeng for a while.

Snap!

Scholar Guo interlaced his fingers, about to open the Folding Fan, but found that the fan was gone.

Where's the fan?

Scholar Guo wanted to shout.

Li Banfeng covered his mouth and led him into Portable Abode.

Tian Dasong ran after Chu Shaoqiang, but he didn't expect that Chu Shaoqiang had prepared Travel Cultivator magic weapon in advance, and ran much faster than Tian Dasong.

Tian Dasong was kicked from behind by He Yuxiu and stumbled.

Mengzi picked up a machete and chopped it down at Tian Dasong's head.

After seeing him make that one slash, Tian Dasong was no longer afraid.

These Three-Headed People don't know martial arts; their slash was too amateurish.

Tian Dasong snatched the machete from Mengzi and easily struck Mengzi in the chest.

The Three-Headed People has thick skin and flesh, but martial arts practitioners have the means to cut through his flesh. In Three-Headed People Tian Dasong's hands, this wood-chopping knife is a top-notch weapon.

But to Tian Dasong's surprise, Mengzi completely disregarded his chest injury and grabbed Tian Dasong's right arm.

Tian Dasong tried to break free, but found that the Three-Headed People's strength was terrifying; his arm was as if it had been welded shut and he couldn't pull it out at all.

Another Three-Headed People grabbed Tian Dasong's left arm.

The two pulled and tugged at Tian Dasong from both sides, trying to tear him apart.

The Three-Headed People's fighting style is that simple.

Will this move work? A martial arts master at the Tenth Layer is torn apart just like that?

The two of them definitely couldn't make it work; Tian Dasong could break free with just his footsteps.

But when a group of Three-Headed People started tearing at Tian Dasong, it became difficult for him to break free.

Tian Dasong spun rapidly in place, throwing a group of Three-Headed People off.

Even after shaking off one group, another group appeared. No matter how hard Tian Dasong tried, the Three-Headed People, relying on their physique and strength, grabbed Tian Dasong together and held on tightly.

Tian Dasong was still putting up a desperate fight when He Yuxiu Tian Dasong forward with a smile and kicked him in the chest.

That kick sent a shiver down Tian Dasong's spine.

This was his last breath.

After his breath hitched, his strength weakened, and he was torn into more than a dozen pieces by the Three-Headed People, scattered all over the ground.

"Where is Chu Shaoqiang?" Li Banfeng came to He Yuxiu's side.

He Yuxiu looked into the distance and said, "This kid is an expert at burrowing underground; he must have dug a tunnel and escaped."

Xiu Er guessed correctly.

Covered in wounds, Chu Shaoqiang dug a hole and ran down the mountain.

He quickly left Seven Autumn City, and unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to come back to this place.

What he needs to do now is to report to the Inner State as soon as possible so that the Inner State can handle the Qiu Luoye.

If Qiu Luoye refuse to submit to the Inner State, they will most likely be executed.

But how should I put this result...?

Scholar Guo and Tian Dasong were both implicated, and Chu Shaoqiang escaped injured, leaving him with no way to explain himself.

Let's postpone it for a few days.

Li Banfeng found Qiu Luoye: "Brother, don't chase after them anymore, go home and rest."

"You brat, you never listen to me!" Qiu Luoye smiled, blood seeping from her clothes.

PS: The battle was won, but Qiu Luoye's life is still in Inner State's hands.
