Swoosh!
Xiangyu reacted quickly, and stabbed his Zhenwu Combat Spear into his attacker behind him with one arm.
Some time ago, when Chen Xiaobei returned to the secret space, he helped Xiangyu break through to Ethereal Cultivation. With 180,000 combat power, Xiangyuâs metal-attribute Ethereal Force transformed into a golden tiger and charged at the enemy which attacked him from the back.
âHuh? Chen Zhufeng brought an Ethereal Cultivation elite with him?! It looks like I underestimated my enemy!â The attacker said in a calm, unworried tone. The longsword in his hand was infused with wind-attribute Ethereal Force as well. A cyclone brewed up when he swung the sword in his hand, and it rushed to the golden tiger with no hesitation.
Shinng!
Two terrifying forces collided with each other!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Xiangyu and the enemy were forced to take three steps back. Seemingly, their combat powers were extremely similar.
âFeng Bucun! What are you doing?!â Li Xiang pointed at the person.
The attacker with the Tremor Sword was none other than the young alliance master of Five Mountain Sword, Feng Bucun!
Next to him were his five fangirls, which included Fang Ying and five young Five Mountain Sword core disciples.
âWhat am I doing?â Feng Bucun repeated. âChen Zhufeng is Chen Xiaobei. Our faction has already joined the Anti-Bei Alliance. What do you think Iâm doing?â
âYou want to kill us?â Xiangyu had a murderous look in his eyes.
Like Chen Xiaobei, Xiangyu upheld the âdonât attack unless being attacked firstâ principle. He would never kill unless the enemy made the first move â then Chen Xiaobei and Xiangyu could kill each other mercilessly!
âThatâs right! Iâve come to kill you!â Feng Bucun did not even bother to hide his intention. âChen Xiaobei caused my father to fall down earlier at the first jade door! This debt must be paid! But since I canât find Chen Xiaobei, then Iâll just kill you to vent my anger!â
âDo you think that you can kill us?â Xiangyu lifted up his Zhenwu Combat Spear, and stood protectively in front of Six-Eared Macaque and Li Xiang.
Xiangyu was at the early phase of Ethereal Cultivation with 180,000 combat power.
Six-Eared Macaque however, was only at the peak of Celestial Cultivation with 130,000 combat power. Because Li Xiang did not have time to cultivate, his cultivation was stagnant at only 30,000 combat power.
Xiangyu was the only who could fight Feng Bucun and his people.
Feng Bucun knew that, so he chuckled. âAmong the three of you, only you can fight me! But I can pin you down on my own! My Shixiong and Shidi can then use the two of your friends as hostage! Thereâs no way that you can survive this fight!â
âYouâ¦â Xiangyu frowned.
If Six-Eared Macaque and Li Xiang were captured, Xiangyuâs hands would be tied. In the end, the three of them would not be able to escape the fate of being tortured and killed.
âIf youâre a real man, then fight! Whatâs so great about using them hostage to threaten me?!â Xiangyu shouted.
âHeheheâ¦â Feng Bucun laughed mockingly. âThis is a battle to the death! This is not a sports day event! Would I get a medal for being upright? Remember, there are only losers and winners here!â
Xiangyuâs expression darkened, and his tone deepened. âI will hold them off! The two of you get to faction leader Long!â
âNo! We wonât run off!â Six-Eared Macaque and Li Xiang were adamant. âIf we leave you here, youâll die! You wonât be able to fight all of them!â
âNonsense!â Xiangyu barked. âYou wonât be of much help even if you stay! Go and get faction leader Long! I might have a chance at surviving this!â
âAlright! Thatâs it then!â Six-Eared Macaque could see the bigger picture so he said, âLi Xiang, get ready to transform. Once Xiangyu charges, weâll escape by air!â
âAlright!â Li Xiang prepared himself.
âCaldron Breaking Strike!â Xiangyu suddenly roared. He held the Zhenwu Combat Spear in both hands and stormed forward with every ounce of energy in his body.
Xiangyu was employing his maximum Ethereal Force with this attack.
A bright golden light lit up the place, and the force of gold came down and blanketed the place.
The golden light moved with the Zhenwu Combat Spear, and formed an illusion of thousands of soldiers with horses.
âThatâs quite something! But I, Feng Bucun, am not be trifled with either!â
Feng Bucun pointed his Tremor Sword to the sky and borrowed the force of wind. Immediately, countless of Wind Blades were formed in the sky that were ready to destroy everything that stood in their path.
âNo!â Xiangyu roared as he exploded forward.
At the same time, Li Xiang transformed into his Blood Descendant form, carrying Six-Eared Macaque in one hand, spread his wings, and flew into the air.
Right now, their plan was going well. Li Xiang and Six-Eared Macaque only needed to get Long Zishan to come back in time to save Xiangyu.
But no matter how much they had planned things out, The Five Mountain Sword faction were not the only members of Anti-Bei Alliance!
Boom!
There was a deafening sound of an explosion, and Li Xiang and Six-Eared Macaque came tumbling down.
Because Li Xiangâs cultivation was very low, he was severely injured, and was throwing up blood.
Six-Eared Macaqueâs cultivation was slightly higher, but it was still not enough to hold off his opponentâs powerful attack. Blood was also pouring from his mouth, draining him of all energy to fight.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The true from of Blood Descendants appeared in the sky.
They looked quite young â probably core disciples of the Blood Descendants.
These people were led by someone who looked very much like Sequinnâs only son, the prince of the Blood Descendants, Goodman!
âIâve controlled the sky! You canât go anywhere!â Goodman sniggered, a deep-seated hatred set in his eyes.
âAre you guys alright?â
Xiangyu abandoned the attack and ran to Li Xiang and Six-Eared Macaque.
âWeâre done! This time, we really canât get out of thisâ¦â Six-Eared Macaque sounded exhausted, and was throwing up blood as he spoke.
Li Xiangâs injuries were even more severe â he could not even speak. He looked devastatingly ill and was not moving.
âHang in there guys! I will get you out of here no matter what!â Xiangyu shouted through gritted teeth.
âGet to where? Are you dreaming?â
The other five leaders of the Anti-Bei Alliance and their hundreds of young core disciples had all gathered around them!
âWhy donât you try and get out for me to see?!â Feng Bucun sneered.
âYouâ¦â
Xiangyuâs face was ashen.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Suddenly, a shadow jumped down from the pavilion, and stood protectively in front of Xiangyu, shouting at the crowd of people, âThose who hurt my brothers will pay dearly!â
