Watching the Battle
"Only one of the five was killed. Now that we've taken him back, the elders at home won't criticize us anymore, and the envoy from the upper sect won't be angry either." The tall cultivator was overjoyed. He was about to casually kill the shapely female cultivator so he could escape to Feng Prefecture with the Wang Household uncle and nephew.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Jin fell into a state of madness again, and the more he did so, the more smoothly his practice of the "White Ape Scripture" flowed.
Using the White Ape Steps to dodge and weave, Yuan Jin smashed the right calf of the Black-Haired Zombie with another blow of his staff.
"You're courting death!" the tall cultivator roared, summoning a gray bell the size of an infant's fist. The bell's sound was not crisp but rather somewhat grating. The two Black-Haired Zombie became even more ferocious upon hearing the sound, and Yuan Jin's situation grew increasingly perilous.
After reuniting with the rest of his relatives, the Wang Household's Second Elder immediately plunged into the battle.
His cultivation level and skills were far superior to those of the Wang Household's Fifth Elder. The plump female cultivator was already exhausted from the fierce battle with the three uncles and nephews opposite her, and she tried to leave several times, but was tightly held back by the two younger members of the Wang Household.
Now they're facing an even more troublesome Wang Household's Second Elder, and the situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse.
Not long after the battle began, the female cultivator scattered a cloud of red smoke, clearly a tactic to confuse the enemy; she was about to flee!
But the prepared Wang Household's Second Elder wielded a steel whip and lashed it out, a gust of wind from the whip piercing through the red smoke and striking the female cultivator's breasts.
The attack came too fast; the female cultivator didn't have time to dodge, and by the time she reacted, her chest was already mangled.
The two younger Wang Household acted swiftly, each Law Artifact, and the female cultivator's head was smashed to pieces.
Let's go!
The tall cultivator from the Feng Prefecture Ge Household was somewhat displeased upon hearing what the Wang Household's Second Elder said.
He was now truly enraged by Yuan Jin's attack and was about to call upon the Wang Household family to come up and deal with the short man.
"Leaving now would be too good for this bastard." The tall cultivator hesitated for a moment, and in that instant of distraction, two Golden Light pierced straight through the head of the black zombie with the severed arm.
"Second, wake up!" The tall cultivator heard an anxious voice. Yuan Jin, who had just escaped danger, cleared his eyes after hearing the voice, but his fierce expression did not diminish much as he continued to fight the other Black-Haired Zombie.
"Who is this person?" the tall cultivator wondered to himself.
Where did this burly man come from, possessing such ruthless eye techniques?
"Even if my own natal zombie were at its peak and took this hit, it's hard to say..."
"With someone like that behind us, we're unlikely to escape." The tall cultivator's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but then the fat man used his mace to knock the still-standing Black-Haired Zombie back several steps, and pulled Yuan Jin away.
The tall cultivator thought for a moment, then ordered the Black-Haired Zombie to unleash a barrage of claw attacks to slightly restrain the two. At this moment, the fat man shouted through the wind, "May I ask which Brother Ge Household you are? It would be best not to make things difficult for us brothers. If the fight drags on, be careful that the Tie Household comes back with the Heaven Overturning Seal. Even if he kills us two fools, what then? You won't have it easy either."
Given the sheer number of lives lost to that Heaven Overturning Seal in the past few days, Kang Dabao's words carried considerable weight.
"Let's go!" Wang Household's Second Elder said anxiously upon hearing Kang Dabao's words.
He had witnessed the power of that Heaven Overturning Seal.
Unlike the tall cultivator who only needed to bring one living Wang Household cultivator back to Feng Prefecture to complete his mission, the Wang Household's Second Elder only wanted to safely take the rest of his clansmen away so that someone could continue to offer sacrifices to the family.
"Let's go!" The tall cultivator finally reached an agreement with the Wang Household's Second Elder. After collecting the two Black-Haired Zombie, he released Kang Dabao and his companion.
The tall cultivator then produced a small flying Law Artifact, which the five people used to escape.
Kang Dabao was not afraid at all when he saw them fleeing. The opponent's strength had clearly exceeded the range Xie Fu had mentioned beforehand. Kang Dabao did not have the resources to lead his disciples to intercept the disciples of the Foundation Establishment clans. That was the job of the people from the state court.
His only concern was whether the Caishi Wang Household would harbor resentment towards him, the enemy who had destroyed his family, if they were to Dongshan.
The two brats' eyes were somewhat frightening. Sect Leader Kang Da was most afraid of making enemies, and just thinking about it sent chills down his spine.
"If only someone could shoot this airship down for him!"
Just as Kang Dabao was thinking this to himself, he saw the flying boat in the distance, whose outline was almost indistinguishable, appear to have been hit by a stone cannon.
The defensive array on the outer layer of the flying boat was as fragile as paper, and the overflowing spiritual light was so dazzling that it was hard to open one's eyes.
The airship broke in two, and the five people on board were thrown out, all injured and in a sorry state.
"Tie Xishui, do you really intend to exterminate them all?"
"People from the Feng Prefecture Ge Household, how could you say such things? Don't you find it ridiculous?" Tie Xishui, with his shiny bald head, put the Heaven Overturning Seal, which had just performed a great service, back into his palm, looked at the tall cultivator and sneered, his words full of mockery.
"It is an indisputable fact that the Caishi Wang Household harbored the assassin who attempted to kill the former county magistrate. When Xie Fu, the Pingrong County, learned of this, he drafted an official document and submitted it to the relevant authorities in the prefecture, resulting in the execution of the entire clan. Where did I go wrong?!"
Tie Xishui not only kept talking, but his hands also kept moving.
With a wave of his hand, he found another junior member of the Wang Household. With a lift and a smash of the earthen-yellow Heaven Overturning Seal, he shattered another sliver of hope for the Caishi Wang Household's resurgence.
"Split up and run! I'll hold him off, he won't have time to catch you!" The tall cultivator was furious; he truly regretted wasting so much time with Yuan Jin here earlier.
If he really can't even bring back a single member of the Caishi Wang Household this time, then he probably won't have a good ending when he returns to his clan.
At that time, the sect only needs to ask a simple question to frighten the elders in the family so much that they might even beat them to death on the spot to make an explanation.
"You two from the Chongming Sect, hurry up and come over here to hold off this heretical sorcerer!" Tie Xishui became anxious as he saw the Wang Household members scattering and escaping.
If we fail to achieve complete success this time, wouldn't it be a huge waste of all this hard work?
"Boss Tie, it's not that my brothers and I are unwilling to handle this, but my junior brother is already severely injured and urgently needs to go back to ask the Alchemist for treatment." Kang Dabao's face turned bitter upon hearing this. He pulled open Yuan Jin's robe, revealing his blood-soaked belly, and immediately begged for mercy.
"Listen up! If you can't hold him off, just wait and see if I, the head of this sect, will bring troops to your Chongming Sect next time." Tie Xishui didn't give Kang Dabao a chance to speak again, and left the tall cultivator behind.
Kang Dabao hated Tie Xishui, that scoundrel, but he had no choice but to pull Yuan Jin forward to block the tall cultivator and his Black-Haired Jiangshi.
At this moment, two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator stood side by side in the distance. They belonged to opposite sides, yet their behavior was intimate, both watching the battle unfold closely.
