Ling Wushang's Star-Picking Hand technique gave Xiao Fang and Lin Ming a great sense of crisis.
A silver spear appeared in Xiao Fang's hand, its tip flashing with a cold light, clearly indicating that it was a high-grade treasure spear.
He roared, and his spiritual power surged wildly into the silver spear, which shot out like a dragon, stirring up the surrounding space.
Lin Ming also dared not be negligent, and a large hammer appeared in his hand.
The hammer was made entirely of an unknown mineral, its black body giving it an incredibly heavy feel.
He swung the sledgehammer with both hands, roared, and smashed it down towards the giant hand.
A gun and a hammer were aimed at Ling Wushang's Star-Picking Hand.
Ling Wushang remained expressionless, clearly serious. This was a secret technique of his Ling family, far superior to the spiritual energy techniques of ordinary cultivators.
This move contains incredibly profound Taoist principles and immense power of heaven and earth.
He saw Xiao Fang and Lin Ming's countermeasures, and without pausing, he continued his attack.
The enormous hand contracted more rapidly, and Xiao Fang's silver spear and Lin Ming's black hammer finally collided with it.
Bang.
Rumble.
A tremendous sound was emitted, and the energy caused by the collision surged outwards in all directions.
Upon seeing this, Ling Yunbo and Ling Yunfei quickly moved aside and tried their best to protect their own people.
Ling Wushang's Star-Picking Hand disappeared, and he glanced at Xiao Fang and Lin Ming expressionlessly.
Xiao Fang and Lin Ming were in a sorry state, their clothes torn and blood trickling from the corners of their mouths.
They clearly managed to stop the attack, but they paid a price for it.
Xiao Fang looked at Ling Wushang with a complicated expression. "He's really impressive. No wonder my older brother warned me to be careful, saying that the Ling family isn't as simple as it seems."
Lin Ming looked at Xiao Fang with surprise and uncertainty, "Brother Wushang has really surprised me."
Xiao Fang looked at them coldly, "Aren't you willing to leave?"
Xiao Fang's face darkened. He realized that he and Lin Ming were probably no match for Ling Wushang.
He hadn't expected that the two of them, both at the early stage of the Emperor Realm, couldn't defeat a severely injured mid-stage Emperor Realm cultivator. Was he going to have to return empty-handed again? He was somewhat unwilling to accept this.
Lin Ming's expression was equally unpleasant. He also thought the trip would go smoothly, but Ling Wushang gave him another surprise.
Seeing this, Ling Wushang said no more. He took out an iron hammer, which was rusty and looked somewhat broken.
However, as soon as this broken iron hammer appeared, Xiao Fang and Lin Ming immediately felt immense pressure, and their expressions became solemn.
This is Ling Wushang's famous weapon in the eastern part of the Holy Domain, the Shattering Star Hammer, a mid-grade spiritual treasure.
Xiao Fang thought to himself, this was Ling Wushang's final warning. If he didn't leave, it would be a life-or-death battle.
Xiao Fang was only there for the fun of it, and being injured was beyond his expectations. He had already made up his mind to retreat.
From a distance, Ling Yunbo could clearly see the battle between the three members of the Imperial Realm. Ling Wushang had once again surprised him.
He knew that Xiao Fang and Lin Ming alone were no match for Ling Wushang, and given Xiao Fang's nature, he would retreat if things went wrong.
Ling Yunbo immediately made a decision, his gaze hardening as he called out to a point in the void, "Seniors, I humbly request your assistance."
"Haha, no problem, just remember what you promised us."
Three figures appeared beside Xiao Fang to everyone's surprise.
All three of them were at the Emperor Realm, and all were at the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm, making them a level higher than Xiao Fang and Lin Ming.
The higher one's cultivation level, the greater the difference even a small step can make.
Ling Wushang's expression became extremely solemn, and his face turned very ugly.
The sudden appearance of these three powerful Emperor Realm experts undoubtedly multiplied the difficulty several times over. With Xiao Fang and Lin Ming added to the mix, he was truly in a difficult situation.
Upon seeing the three of them, Ling Yunfei's gaze toward Ling Yunbo became even more resentful.
"Alright, so you really intend to sell out my Ling family completely. What exactly did you offer in exchange for getting Xiao Fang of the Tianxuan Dynasty and Lin Ming of the Burning Heaven Sect to help you?"
They even brought in Duanmu Zhen from the Duanmu family, Ouyang Xiaojun from the Ouyang family, and Chu Xiao from the Chu family to keep watch for you.
"You're truly capable; you really have no selfish motives and are thinking of the Ling family's future."
Ling Yunbo's face also showed resentment.
"Hmph, things have come to this because you forced us to. If we had followed my plan and cooperated with the Burning Heaven Sect earlier, none of this would have happened."
But since you keep resisting, I have no choice but to keep increasing the stakes.
Things have come to this point beyond my control; you have only yourself to blame.
Ling Yunfei laughed in extreme anger.
"Fine, fine, fine. It's clearly you who has ulterior motives, you're so obsessed with the position of family head that you've done something so crazy, colluding with outsiders to harm the Ling family, and you even turn around and blame me. How ridiculous."
Ling Yunbo's expression hardened again, and he looked at Ling Yunfei and Ling Wushang with intense hatred.
"Yes, it's all your fault, but no matter what, this matter is finally settled today. From now on, the Ling family belongs to me."
"Don't worry, even if the Ling family suffers some losses, things will get better. I promise, I'll prove it to you."
Ling Yunfei looked at him with pity.
"How ignorant you are, Ling Yunbo. You know nothing about the Ling family. You are too naive. Do you think they will cooperate with you obediently? Without strength as support, everything is just an illusion."
Ling Yunbo ignored Ling Yunfei and turned his attention to the battlefield of the Imperial Realm.
Ling Wushang faced five opponents.
Standing before him were five Emperor Realm experts: Ouyang Xiaojun, Duanmu Zhen, and Chu Xiao, who were at the mid-stage of the Emperor Realm and at the same level as him.
Xiao Fang was about to leave, but upon seeing the sudden arrival of his helpers, he immediately stopped and stared in disbelief at the three of them, as well as Ling Yunbo in the distance.
Xiao Fang was unaware of this matter.
When Lin Ming saw the people from the three major families appear, his expression did not show any joy at the arrival of reinforcements, as he was also unaware of this matter.
This means that Ling Yunbo is hiding many things from him. The more forces he joins, the less the Burning Heaven Sect can gain. He is actually very angry.
He doesn't mind if Ling Yunbo finds help, but you should discuss it with him beforehand.
Ling Yunbo completely disregarded him and acted on his own initiative; how could Lin Ming be happy about that?
Lin Ming's opinion of Ling Yunbo has plummeted.
Ling Yunbo looked at Duanmu Zhen, Ouyang Xiaojun, and Chu Xiao with a serious expression.
"The three of you have all come. My Ling family is truly honored. I wonder if this is the intention of your three families or your individual decision?"
Duanmu Zhen chuckled, "Of course, it's just our personal opinion. The small Ling family isn't worth the three major families joining forces."
Ouyang Xiaojun raised her head and said to Ling Wushang, "Wushang, you should surrender quickly. You know that you alone cannot be our match."
Chu Xiao, equally confident, said, "That's right, Wu Shang. You're a person of some standing, so there's no need for you to make these pointless struggles."
Ling Wushang looked at them coldly, "The Ling family never surrenders. If you want to fight, then fight."
