The Final Act

Even after escaping the battle with his natal spirit zombie, Ge Yangfeng was still not at ease.

He made a grave mistake this time, failing to act decisively and only making things worse. The moment he saw the Wang Household, he should have taken them away from that short man and returned to Feng Prefecture.

Even if you really can't shake him off, you should at least summon your ancient sword or your natal spirit zombie as soon as possible to deal with that bastard.

If that's the case, even if we still encounter Tie Xishui later, at least we can safely lead more than half of the Wang Household to safety and avoid falling into the current passive situation.

"We underestimated our enemy and wasted so much time." Ge Yangfeng sighed softly. Beforehand, the Wang Household all carried specially made corpse worms from the Feng Prefecture Ge Household, which could be used by Ge Household cultivators to find and track people.

They were delayed by those two burly men for quite some time, and now they could only sense the smell of corpse worms coming from two other directions.

Ge Yangfeng hesitated for a moment, then had his natal spirit zombie choose a nearby target and rush over.

Ge Yangfeng was anxious, so he sped along the way. Halfway there, he heard the sounds of fierce fighting coming from the location of the corpse worms ahead.

At this moment, he became decisive. Without even looking at the situation ahead, he changed direction without thinking and quickly turned around and ran towards another group of corpse worms.

At this moment, Ge Yangfeng didn't know which Wang Household cultivator had been unlucky enough to fall ahead. In fact, it didn't matter. In any case, no matter who it was, he knew he couldn't save him from Tie Xishui's hands.

Since that's the case, it would be better to find another Wang Household and escape as soon as possible.

"That depends on your own fate," Ge Yangfeng murmured.

A cold wind howled, and after the intense impact of Tie Xishui's Heaven Overturning Seal, the steel whip of the Wang Household's Second Elder was now riddled with dents and bumps.

Each time the steel whip was struck by the Heaven Overturning Seal, a large number of sparks were ejected from its surface.

Each sharp, piercing sound sent a shiver down the spine of Wang Household's Second Elder.

"There's no escaping it." The Wang Household's Second Elder was ashen-faced, his eyes filled with resentment as he stared at the arrogant and sinister figure opposite him. "We're both Qi Refinement cultivators, but Tie Xishui, with only a Second Tier Spirit Artifact, has no reason to be so domineering."

"You're quite clever, knowing that the longer you can hold me off, the better your people's chances of escaping." Tie Xishui swung his hand down hard, his eyes filled with even more ferocity.

The Heaven Overturning Seal sensed its master's intentions and suddenly increased its strength, its body enveloped in a thick layer of earthy-yellow mystical light. The steel whip that was confronting it finally couldn't withstand the force and was smashed into several pieces.

The Wang Household's Second Elder also spat out a mouthful of blood. If this steel whip wasn't a magical Law Artifact connected to his heart and soul, how could it have withstood the Tie Xishui Heaven Overturning Seal, a Second Tier Spirit Artifact, for so long?

The Heaven Overturning Seal slammed down again, and the sound of splashing liquid echoed through the arena once more.

"What a pity." Tie Xishui saw that another puddle of flesh had appeared under his Heaven Overturning Seal, but there was no joy on his face.

A small gray sparrow with a pointed beak and red claws peeked out from his sleeve, looking rather cute.

It fluttered its small wings and flew for a while before its red claws landed on the fleshy mess. It used its sharp beak to rummage through the mess for a long time before finally finding a fat, milky-white worm that was slowly wriggling.

Upon seeing the fat worm, the gray sparrow let out a cheerful chirp, its sharp beak swiftly swooping down to swallow the plump, juicy worm whole.

After eating the fat worm, the gray sparrow picked out some tasty bits from the pile of meat and ate a few bites. Tie Xishui watched from the side without urging it, letting the sparrow eat until its belly was full before slowly circling back to its fingertip.

"Hasn't he arrived yet?" Tie Xishui murmured, teasing the gray sparrow with his finger, seemingly not caring at all about the other member of the Wang Household who had escaped.

"Let's go, my dear, we still have to keep up this show with those big shots." Tie Xishui raised his arm above his head, and the gray sparrow let out another crisp chirp.

At this moment, its speed was extraordinary, a far cry from its previous gluttonous, lazy, and sly nature.

On the other side, after sensing the aura of yet another corpse worm Ge Yangfeng was extremely anxious when he finally found the last Caishi Wang Household, namely the Wang Household's Fifth Elder, a self-important Alchemist.

At this moment, he had lost all his elegance. Not only was his hair disheveled, making him look like a beggar, but even though his robes were so tattered that half of his buttocks were exposed, he didn't care. He just kept patting the Divine Movement Talisman on his body and fleeing towards Feng Prefecture.

Only after seeing Ge Yangfeng, their savior, arrive did Wang Household's Fifth Elder dare not complain again, babbling incoherently and unable to utter a complete sentence.

Ge Yangfeng wasn't surprised to see him like this. When he fell from the flying boat, Ge Yangzhou had seen Wang Household's Fifth Elder get a severe beating from Tie Xishui.

Don't underestimate Tie Xishui's seemingly simple, casual strike with the Heaven Overturning Seal. Wang Household's Fifth Elder, a Qi Refining Middle Qi Refinement, had to use countless methods to survive in order to save his life from Second Tier Spirit Artifact.

There is great terror between life and death; it is not surprising to be terrified to the point of being in a terrible state.

Ge Yangfeng grabbed the Wang Household's Fifth Elder and pulled him to his side. He had no intention of comforting him first. As long as he brought back a living member of the Wang Household, it didn't matter whether he was crazy or insane.

Ge Yangfeng then took out a slightly smaller Green Leaf Flying Boat magical Law Artifact.

Although this Law Artifact could only seat two people, it was slightly faster than the previous flying boat, which gave Ge Yangfeng a little more confidence.

Unexpectedly, after flying for only half an hour, Ge Yangfeng, who was piloting the Green Leaf Flying Boat, noticed something amiss. A small gray sparrow, seemingly unafraid of the terrifying air currents stirred up by the flying boat as it passed, kept swimming alongside it.

This little sparrow was only the size of a child's palm, and its spiritual energy was not strong. Logically speaking, being so close, it should have been torn apart by the surrounding air currents long ago.

Meanwhile, the corpse worms hidden in the mouth of the Wang Household's Fifth Elder began to stir restlessly. Seeing this, Ge Yangfeng knew that he had been caught up with again.

Ge Yangfeng released his Divine Sense and saw a black flying boat rapidly approaching him from behind. He immediately recognized it as a standard flying boat assigned to the officials of the Immortal Dynasty's Demon Correction Office.

It is said that Law Artifact made according to the standards of the Immortal Dynasty have a distinct characteristic: compared to magical Law Artifact of the same level outside the world, the standard magical Law Artifact are not necessarily worse, but they are definitely not better.

However, Ge Yangfeng was unaware that the black flying boat that came from behind him arrived so quickly, even faster than the superior flying boat personally bestowed upon him by his clan leader Enrong.

Ge Yangfeng didn't have much time to be surprised. The black flying boat that roared in had already rammed its sharp and heavy ram into the rear of the Green Leaf flying boat, easily turning this valuable flying boat into scrap metal.

The Wang Household's Fifth Elder let out a scream that sounded inhuman, and then burst into tears again.

Ge Yangfeng couldn't care less about anything else at this moment. He quickly lifted Wang Household's Fifth Elder by one hand, pushed off with his feet, and the two of them shot into the air, just avoiding the corner of the car. But then he heard the gray sparrow beside him let out a cheerful chirp.

A large, earthen-yellow seal stirred up a strong wind and swept towards the two of them.

A robust middle-aged cultivator suddenly appeared. He was about to extend his finger to block Tie Xishui's Heaven Overturning Seal, but after seeing the direction of the latter's attack, he paused and withdrew his finger.

The Heaven Overturning Seal came too fast, and no one stopped it. It grazed the face of the Wang Household's Fifth Elder and smashed into the entire facial bone of Ge Yang, who was standing next to him, causing it to cave in.

Immediately afterwards, various colors, including yellow, red, and white, were squeezed out from Ge Yangfeng's seven orifices.

Ge Yangfeng, a mere Qi Refinement, was utterly doomed after suffering such injuries. His mangled head detached from his body and slammed heavily to the ground.

"Greetings, Senior Yue." Tie Xishui killed the person in front of the Foundation Establishment True Cultivator, but he was not flustered or afraid. He only respectfully bowed to Yue Lan, who had just appeared.

"Yes, please give my regards to Commander Tie." Yue Lan accepted the greeting expressionlessly, grabbed the still trembling Wang Household's Fifth Elder, and quickly disappeared from Tie Xishui's sight.

Only then did Tie Xishui turn his head to look at Ge Yangfeng's fallen, mangled body. "Fellow Daoist Ge, didn't you ever consider that it would have made no difference whether you came or not?"
