Chapter 265: Kill This Side First
The mountain wind suddenly solidified, and the air seemed to turn into a heavy substance. Jiang Chenfeng’s body, like a broken reed, drew a mournful arc in the air.
With a loud ‘boom’, his body heavily slammed into the cliff, causing the rock wall to shatter and debris to scatter.
This sudden scene instantly shocked everyone.
Not far away, two figures full of Evil Qi attacked like ferocious beasts, their violent Aura shaking the mountain ridge.
The Bu family had three sons. Bu Hui was already sitting on the ground, and the ones charging over were naturally Bu Yao and Bu Sheng.
Boom!
As they charged, a sharp claw entwined with black-purple Evil Qi slashed down, as if to tear the night apart.
Huo Hong and Xie Chenyu, who bore the brunt, instantly felt a powerful pressure. Their faces changed drastically. In a hurry, they quickly raised their sabers and swords, colliding fiercely with Bu Yao.
Crack!
Under the sharp claw, the iron saber in Huo Hong’s hand let out an unbearable wail. The violent force transmitted along the blade, directly making it difficult for him to breathe.
Another claw shadow, with undiminished momentum, swept towards Xie Chenyu’s shoulders with a destructive force.
Fortunately, when they saw Jiang Chenfeng fly out, they had already been wary and had quickly retreated by channeling their Qi, swiftly distancing themselves from Bu Yao, who was already in his Evil Seed form.
At this moment, Huo Hong felt his arms numb and his shoulder blades almost shattered.
Xie Chenyu’s left shoulder had been torn by the opponent, and he rolled along the ground with a thud, blood splattering.
But the ghost-like figure, carrying surging Evil Qi, approached again, its swollen black body pressing down like a towering giant peak.
“Look, look, I told you it wasn’t my fault, right?!”
“My eldest brother and second brother are the bad guys! They are the bad guys!”
Bu Hui shrieked from where he sat, seemingly utterly innocent, finally venting his wronged emotions.
He had always appeared very weak, like a lamb to be slaughtered, but the truly weak ones were the Prodigies of the Immortal Sects, who were now trembling all over, having already judged the opponent’s terrifying power from their Aura.
“Retreat!”
“Quickly retreat!”
“These two monstrous things are at the initial stage of Yingtian Realm!”
Seeing this scene, Huo Hong swung his saber in anger while continuously retreating.
Xie Chenyu, like a wolf, crawled up. He could no longer feel his right arm, but he still held his sword with his left hand and fiercely parried the sharp claw that came for his heart.
The team, temporarily assembled for profit, inherently lacked much cohesion.
Discovering the vast disparity in strength, everyone immediately had the thought of escaping, so they soared into the air amidst the howling Spirit Origin.
But reality doesn’t always go as wished. As Tu Ri and others ascended into the air, a pair of crimson eyes flashed within the surging waves of earth.
Bu Sheng, the second son of the Bu family, had, at some unknown point, fallen behind them. At this moment, he swung his arm horizontally, directly striking Tu Ri’s rising chest.
Boom!
Like a falling meteor, Tu Ri was directly smashed back to the ground, a crater already sunken into his chest.
At the same time, the sinister sharp claw directly clamped onto Chu Butian, who had gone with Tu Ri, and in a fierce drag, broke countless ancient trees,
Then, with a thud, it smashed him against the opposite mountain wall.
The Bu family had waited for a long time and finally determined a way out; they would not let anyone go.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan, Yan Qiubai, and Jiang Yuerou showed expressions of disbelief, their hearts instantly turning cold.
They hadn’t resisted immediately, but instead worried about Jiang Chenfeng’s safety, so they rushed towards the bottom of the cliff.
This Prodigy of Asked the Dao Sect truly lived up to being a Rongdao Realm expert. Although his abdomen was torn and blood continuously seeped from the finger-sized holes, his life was not in great danger.
Due to the distance and angle, they clearly saw Tu Ri and Chu Butian escaping into the air, and also witnessed Bu Sheng’s extremely fast leap into the sky.
That was a pure leap from the ground supported by a powerful Physical Body, and the unleashed Qi directly created a large pit.
Compared to him, Tu Ri and Chu Butian’s speed was as slow as old turtles.
So, even before the two were struck down, Jiang Yan and the others already knew they had no chance of escaping.
“The Yingtian Realm, after being Evil Seed, has a combat power that is fundamentally not like an ordinary Yingtian Realm—”
“They want to use us to leave; they definitely won’t let us escape.”
Jiang Yan’s face was pale as she pursed her lips: “I’ll find a way to notify the Sect for help!”
Jiang Chenfeng reached out and grabbed her sleeve, stopping her impulsive action with his eyes: “Don’t forget we acted without permission. Our original intention was to abandon the Immortal Sect!”
Hearing this, Jiang Yan trembled all over.
Indeed, if they sought help from the Immortal Sect, there was a chance of survival, but it would also be tantamount to admitting to abandoning the Sect to monopolize the Opportunity.
The Jiang Family was a Worldly Family related to Asked the Dao Sect through marriage. A large part of their ability to establish themselves in the Qingyun World was due to the blessings of Asked the Dao Sect.
If this incident caused suspicion from Asked the Dao Sect, the entire Jiang Family would be ostracized.
And even if they were rescued, given the Family’s way of doing things, they wouldn’t have a good outcome.
At this moment, a flash of Spirit Origin flickered in Jiang Chenfeng’s hand, and a Medicinal Pill bottle instantly appeared in his palm. He then pulled out the stopper, tilted his head back, and swallowed the Medicinal Pill within.
The terrifying wound torn in his abdomen instantly stopped bleeding, and then he drew his sword and rushed into the battlefield.
Seeing this, Jiang Yan, Yan Qiubai, and Jiang Yuerou also rose and joined in.
They knew that at this point, there was no other retreat except victory or death.
Buzz!
A fierce wind suddenly rose in the mountain forest, and Spirit Origin surged.
The nine Prodigies circulated their Spirit Origin to the extreme, immortal light of spells enveloped them, and at the same time, Sword Intent rapidly condensed, fiercely meeting the Bu family’s two sons.
But just as they had felt despair earlier, the disparity in their combat power was simply too great.
Bu Yao and Bu Sheng were like killing machines, black mist erupting from their bodies, carrying seemingly inexhaustible formidable power,
Pressing down on everyone with each swing of their claws, forcing them to retreat step by step.
The Prodigies on the field were all struggling to hold on, their spell’s immortal light had been shattered several times, and their wounds were gradually becoming denser.
At this time, some began to continuously sacrifice the Magical Artifacts they carried.
The black trident used to kill an old servant, the poisonous thorns falling like torrential rain, the magical orb that contained a single saber strike from a high-level Major Achievement expert, the profound iron cage with both thunder and fire Dao attached—and within the constantly flowing light of thunder and fire, what everyone saw was the twin sons of the Bu family raging as if to cut down everything.
The cage descending from the sky was directly torn apart, and the flying black trident was also shattered by a swing of the arm.
The poisonous thorns did successfully penetrate the thick Evil Qi, but they were utterly unable to penetrate the already Evil Seed steel-like Physical Body.
Bang!
In the midst of the chaotic battle, Lu Dacheng, who was about to sacrifice another Magical Artifact, suddenly felt a sharp pain as a light, casual claw strike came towards him.
In an instant, his fingers snapped one by one, and a viscous blood mist immediately spurted from the clean cuts, accompanied by a painful shriek.
Looking at his remaining half-hand, Lu Dacheng was terrified to the extreme.
When people face life-and-death pressure, their subconscious often overcomes reason, with no other thought than survival.
At this moment, Lu Dacheng no longer cared about his Worldly Family, Senior Brother, Junior Sister, or old friends. In the instant of the melee, he suddenly turned around, accumulating all his Spirit Origin in his legs, his only thought being to escape.
As he stomped, the cloud boots on his feet directly exploded, showing the explosive power of that moment.
But what he didn’t expect was that Bu Sheng, who was pressing Jiang Chenfeng to the point of exhaustion, soared into the sky. His Evil Seed body, like a tiger leaping on all fours, charged towards Lu Dacheng.
Thud!
A sharp claw pierced through his heart, and Lu Dacheng instantly froze in place, his gaze fixed forward.
He saw the hand that had pierced his chest, clutching a still-beating heart.
Slaughter, this was simply a cruel slaughter with no possibility of reversal.
Seeing this scene, everyone’s hearts turned cold.
They needed someone to lead the way, to avoid the Immortal Sect.
But only one person was needed to lead the way, not too many.
However, the remaining ones could not be let go, because letting them go might attract the Immortal Sect, so the only way to deal with them was to kill them all.
“Immortal Sect Prodigies are nothing more than this; truly disappointing.”
“But compared to your combat power, what I find most ridiculous is your judgment.”
“How could my timid younger brother dare to leave us alone?
“Of course, you also seemed to not realize that if you had been obedient and didn’t resist, perhaps it wouldn’t have been so painful.”
In the desperate eyes of the crowd, Bu Sheng, whose face was contorted in a ferocious grin from tearing out a heart, let out a low voice.
It should have been like this long ago.
They were also young people who had accidentally obtained immense Immortal Opportunity, possessing monstrous combat power. How could they endure if they wanted to?
Especially when they were at the Heavenly Dao Conference, seeing all the Prodigy duels and hearing all the gasps of surprise, their hearts were filled with nothing but contempt.
Because in their eyes, those arrogant Prodigies were merely ants that could be crushed with a wave of a hand.
Now, after enduring for so long, they could finally strike with satisfaction.
The pleasure of slaughtering Immortal Sect Prodigies now filled his chest.
The wildly dancing Evil Qi continuously tore apart the swords, and in the blink of an eye, none of these Prodigies from the Immortal Sect could be considered unharmed after the onslaught.
But even so, they no longer harbored any illusion of being able to escape; instead, they fought back with all their might, pushing forward.
Bang!
Jiang Yan was sent flying out of the battlefield by a heavy diagonal kick. Her white boots slid across the ground, carving a deep gully before she finally stopped, dropping to her knees with a thud.
Then her throat sweetened, and she immediately coughed up a mouthful of fresh blood. At the same time, the blood flowing from the terrifying wound on her abdomen had already soaked her dress.
Even now, she couldn't accept this sudden turn of events; the only feeling she had was being trapped in a quagmire, unable to save herself.
We're going to die. Everyone is going to die today.
Just then, Jiang Yan noticed Huo Hong staggering back, his broken iron blade digging deep into the ground before he managed to steady himself.
The illegitimate son of the Mountain and Sea Pavilion Master had just been struck heavily on the head, almost breaking his neck.
Fortunately, he counter-attacked with his Family's divine technique, using the force to dodge and avoid taking the full blow.
But even so, there was a sunken pit on his left forehead, and terrifying blood continuously flowed from the wound, while his eyes were filled with the lingering shock of a near-death experience.
He began to regret it, regretting why he couldn't control his ambition, and now he was about to lose his life.
In fact, if he hadn't been discovered by Jiang Chenfeng and others midway, forming a temporary alliance, he believed he wouldn't have been able to last until now, and would have already been cold all over.
He was very terrified, very afraid.
Then he tremblingly pulled out a Medicinal Pill bottle from his embrace.
He knew there would be risks on this trip, so he was quite well prepared, with Magical Artifacts all over his body and piles of Spirit Stones, all of which had been used up in the previous battle.
And this bottle was what he had least wanted to use before.
This was not a Medicinal Pill refined by the Dan Sect, but by other Worldly Families, used to burn Lifespan in exchange for combat power, with extremely severe side effects.
But he knew that Luck could no longer keep him alive. As the Medicinal Pill entered his stomach, a powerful Aura instantly expanded from his Spirit Origin, and at the same time, a scorching Aura began to flow throughout his body.
Huo Hong clenched his fists, and blue veins, bulging from the flowing Aura, appeared on his arms, extending from his neck all the way to his damaged forehead.
At this moment, his Aura surged, already possessing the Aura of the Yingtian Realm, and then he drew his blade and charged into the chaotic battle.
Whoosh!
The iron blade stirred up a strong wind, and Huo Hong's iron blade instantly bloomed with an immortal light, striking out with a powerful Aura.
Bang bang bang!
After several powerful slashes, Bu Yao, the eldest son of the Bu family, retreated several times.
But just as everyone's spirits were greatly boosted, thinking they had an Opportunity, what followed was an even more violent onslaught from Bu Yao! Crack!
Huo Hong separated his blade from the two powerful poisonous claws that had him clamped, and then his entire body surged with Spiritual Qi.
The Huo Family's inherited Heaven-Slaying Divine Technique continuously condensed on the blade.
But just as the blade was about to fall, to everyone's surprise, Huo Hong turned and fled in a frenzy.
In fact, as early as when he took the Medicinal Pill, he knew he couldn't win; this step had been planned long ago.
And as he turned to leave, Bu Sheng suddenly let out a low roar, and his mighty right leg stomped out, rushing into the mountain forest like a black light.
In the chaos, every mistake meant being on the verge of death, so no one would have predicted that Huo Hong would actually escape.
However, in the face of life and death, such a choice is understandable.
The most crucial thing was that when Huo Hong led away Bu Sheng, the pressure brought by Bu Yao alone was significantly reduced compared to before. But unfortunately, this situation did not last long.
With a whistling sound suddenly echoing from the mountain forest, the surging Bu Sheng soared through the air and landed heavily with a crash.
What he held in his hand was Huo Hong, who had just fled.
Huo Hong did not die, because he was the chosen person to lead the way.
However, both of his legs were broken, folded at a strange angle, and his entire body was trembling.
Boom!
At this moment, another sound of breaking air rang out.
Bu Yao, covered in Evil Qi, rose from the ground like a Killing God, his arms wildly descending, smashing heavily onto the wrist holding the sword in front of him.
With a 'crack', Xie Chenyu cried out in pain, his hand bone directly snapped by the reverse Qi, rendering him incapable of resistance.
At this moment, Yan Qiubai was already grasped by the opponent, lifted off the ground.
But just as the violent Qi was about to snap her fair neck, Bu Yao, whose eyes held murderous intent, suddenly stopped his movements, his fangs slightly retracted, and then he turned to look at the south side of the mountain forest.
The key to this situation was not to be discovered, but at this moment, he clearly felt someone approaching with a precise target.
At the same time, those Prodigies who were already exhausted also turned to look south, and with furrowed brows, they saw a figure floating gracefully from the mountain forest.
The newcomer wore white, carried a long sword, and walked on layers of withered branches and fallen leaves, approaching from a distance with a rustling sound.
As that face with sword-like eyebrows and star-like eyes became clearer, the Prodigies present couldn't help but be slightly stunned.
Ji You.
In the gloomy mountain forest, Ji Hanfei walked up the cliff and looked down, causing the Prodigies to fall into a trance.
They had encountered Disciples of the Tianshu Academy during their previous search and knew that Ji You had not been dispatched to the Dongping Mountain Range. This was not surprising, as he was, after all, still in the Tong Xuan Realm, unable to get involved in the affairs here, and coming to this place would be no different from seeking death.
But at this moment, he unexpectedly appeared here, instantly causing confusion.
Even stranger, he was followed by two sleepy-looking women.
Although these two women wore no identifiable attire and their cultivation was only at the Tong Xuan Realm, many people recognized their identities at a glance.
Especially Yan Qiubai and Xie Chenyu, these two Lingjian Mountain Disciples, were even more stunned when they saw them.
Because the two women accompanying Ji You were the personal maids of their Master Jian. Why would Ji You be here?
Why would Master Jian's personal maids be with Ji You?
The confusion lasted for a while, and the next moment, everyone's gaze was drawn back.
Because under the night sky at this moment, a sudden surge of hot Aura began to spread through the gloomy mountain forest, and a powerful pressure surged out like a tide, making everyone's hair stand on end and their hearts tremble.
Bang!
Bu Sheng suddenly released his sharp claws, waved his hand, and threw Huo Hong, who was also looking at Ji You, to the ground. Then he fiercely stomped a deep pit in the ground, and his evilized body instantly shot towards the mountain forest where Ji You was.
Because he had a feeling that although the person in front of him didn't have those roaring immortal lights all over him, he seemed to be more dangerous than these Immortal Sect Prodigies.
Seeing the Evil Seed rushing towards him, Ji You reached out and drew his sword, his heavy footsteps 'crushing' the mountain rock with a 'shattering' sound.
There are no large ruins in the Dongping Mountain Range, but there are many small ruins in the northwest.
If the Evil Seeds wandering around the ruins are added together, it would also be an astonishing number.
Just today, those Evil Seeds were provoked by human Qi, and were lured to the front of the Immortal Sect's search area. In just half an hour after nightfall, they had already devoured many Immortal Sect Disciples, causing chaos in the mountains.
Such a thing doesn't need much thought to know that it must have been done by the Bu family.
They were not just hiding in the mountains, but gathering Evil Seeds, planning to do something.
Because as the search area gradually narrowed, if the Bu family sat idly by, they would only wait to be captured.
Inciting the ferocity of Evil Seeds, this was indeed a good choice.
Ji You killed the remaining few Bu family Disciples in this chaos, and originally intended to seize the Opportunity to pinpoint the Bu family's Family Head, but he failed after several attempts.
However, he felt two violent murderous intents on the east side of the Fallen Eagle Gorge, which should be from the Bu family Disciples.
Moreover, judging from the intensity of their Aura, these two would not be ordinary figures,
So Ji You didn't want to waste time and decided to kill these two first.
At this moment, in the cold mountain forest, the white robe fluttered in the night wind, and a fiery Circular Heaven Slash, like a bright moon blooming, was as mighty as the opening of the heavens.
Boom!
Bu Sheng, who was charging forward, swung his sharp claws, colliding fiercely with the sword slash.
The scorching and cold Qi clashed, instantly raising overwhelming waves of Qi that rushed towards the mountain forests on both sides.
Seeing this scene, the crowd below suddenly stared intently at Ji You's arm.
With a 'crack', a crisp breaking sound accompanied by a hoarse cry of pain rang out simultaneously.
Bu Sheng's arms, which intended to block the blade, were directly bent back into his embrace by the Sword Qi, and that one block seemed not to have slowed down the iron sword of the Circular Slash by half a point, as the cold blade directly cut into that dark body.
A 'thump' sound came from within the thick Evil Qi, and the wildly trembling shoulder was shattered by a single sword strike.
